Comment:
She is my favorite professor at WPU. She really tries her best to explain concepts for the entire class to understand. Most importantly, she cares about the students in the class & will emphasize multiple times during the semester how much our success means to her. Menon offers office hours to ask questions & go over the study guide. Read her ppt!!

She shouldnt be teaching. Her ways are old and antequated, she reads her slides, only explains concepts ONE WAY,and her exams are impossible to do well. She doesnt even give you the exams back to LEARN by mistakes. Take another professor who doesnt get pleasure out of mind games, and actually wants you to learn and ENJOY IT!

Possibly one of the best A&P professors you can take. She genuinely cares about you doing well and offers extra help. ATTEND HER OFFICE HOURS!! She's extremely friendly. Will notice if you are trying. Exams are DIFFICULT!! So study in ADVANCE (a week or so).

Although she is a very nice and passionate person, she just reads through her slides and most times she doesnt really elaborate on what she's lecturing compared to other professors ive had in the past. Just be prepared to teach yourself mostly everything. She does offer help, definitely reach out if needed.

Dr. Menon is one of the best professors I had for an Anatomy course. She is always available at the sec for extra help. Be prepared for a lot of studying. Her questions require a lot of critical thinking and analyzation. Overall this course wasn't as bad as students say it is.

You can definitely pass her class if you try. But getting an A isn't easy. She is extremely helpful if you ask her questions and makes sure everyone understands what she is teaching. The exams are extremely hard, but doable. She can get very tired when she's lecturing though.

Menon is awesome. I'm glad I disregarded the negative comments! She is very passionate. She wants you to do well. Study long and hard; focus on her powerpoints. I was able to get 90s on all of her exams with just her ppts and tutoring sessions at SEC. Also, write down everything she says in class. She will prep you and give you confidence.

Really sweet professor. Do not listen to the negative comments. Exams are fair but somewhat lengthy. Just study. Focus on the powerpoint slides, just use the textbook for more explanation. Manage your time wisely. Read ahead or read right after. Her class is definitely doable.

Hardest class I've ever taken! Menon knows what she's talking about and she genuinely wants to see you succeed but unless you basically beg her, you need to do well on your own. Study study study study is the only thing I can tell you and when taking her class, GO TO THE SEC. It WILL help! It's extremely hard but not impossible. Hang in there!!

I love Dr. Menon. She's very knowledgeable and cares about all her students. HER TESTS ARE HARD but if you work hard then you'll be fine. Attend the tutoring sessions, study her power points, take notes in class, refer to the book for more detailed explanations. I would also suggest to take her for Lab because I regret not doing that. TAKE HER!

One of the hardest professors I've ever had here at William Paterson. All of her exams/quizzes are so hard, even if you study for weeks you will be lucky if you get a C on the exam. She is not clear about the material at all, & doesn't reply to emails. The whole semester you will be convinced that you're failing and if your lucky you'll get a C.

Hardest professor I've ever taken. She is not clear about the material at all, & when it comes to her exams there impossible! She reads directly off the ppts so there is no point of even going to the class. When it comes to her exams, don't even look at the study guide, just focus from the power points; even if you do so you will barely pass.

Menon is a GREAT professor. She wants to see everyone do well and expects a lot from her students. Her exams are hard, but if you take good notes in class and study the power points for exams you'll be fine. She is always available for extra help if you go to her office hours or ask her questions before lectures.

This class is hard because of tons materials. Dr. Menon is a sweet one and really helpful. She is always available for you if you need help, check her office hour or email her to make an appointment. If you think she's tough, you'll see in UDCI and you'll want her to be Nur instructor.

It is a bit of a tough class, but Professor Menon is really helpful and such a nice person! She really cares for her students and wants you to do well. Anyone who says otherwise didn't put enough effort. Work hard and you will do fine.

This advanced class requires you to comprehend the material and not just memorize it. If you want to do well, tape her lectures and read the power points word for word. Her tests and quizzes are extremely difficult, but if you do what I mentioned, you will pass.

I have never had a worse professor than Menon. Her tests are IMPOSSIBLE. She does not clarify anything in her lectures and is rude when you ask her questions. Terrible attitude and doesn't make herself available much for students. Be prepared to spend your entire semester studying everyday for her class. TERRIBLE.
