Comment:

I absolutely adore this woman. She's so kind and caring. I love that what she says during lecture actually goes along with her power points and it makes it easier to study. While the course itself is difficult, she makes it enjoyable. Lab is a blast and she pokes and prods at herself while still teaching. She's truly amazing.

We've completed 2 weeks of classes and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Dr. Misra. She is so down-to-earth and so intelligent. She pokes fun at herself and tells us stories from her past. Such a REAL person. I know I'm going to learn so much from this class but it will be a lot of work. This is not a class for slackers. Looking forward to the rest of the semester

Comment:

Professor Misra is a very good professor. Don't get me wrong, her course is tough if you don't pay attention. I am a business major with no science background and still did well. She is very smart and will help you if you need it. She has very high expectations for everyone in her class and doesn't tolerate any funny business.

My second course with Dr Misra. She's a great professor and she's super smart. Gives students respect and treats them well. She always went out of her way to make sure I did well. Weekly lab quizzes helped me study and pull up my grade. Lecture was tough. I failed the first exam but knew there were 3 more so I could pull my grade up. A+ professor!

This class was one of the hardest class that I have ever taken. She had laboratory quizzes every week, and 5 actual lecture exams. study. study. study.

Comment:

Honestly going to class is pointless, she reads right off her powerpoint that are available on D2L. The book really isn't helpful because she kind of teaches her own thing. She's very specific on grading but usually not to bad. Her tests can be confusing sometimes and are best studied for by reviewing her powerpoints.

I just finished taking this online summer class. Lots of work but were given a whole week to finish the work due. Excellent power points. Quiz/exam questions straight from power points. Discussions and case studies easy 100%. Good feedback and thankful for reminders of work deadlines. No excuse not to do well. Took 2 online classes with Dr . Misra.

Comment:

Dr. Misra is one of the best professors I've had. Exams are straight from her power points. Labs are lots of fun and an easy "A." She goes out of her way to help her students. Very friendly and always available even after office hours. Always gave good feedback. Have to study hard but this is college not high school. Lots of extra credit.

I'm so glad I took Dr. Misra's class. Power points on D2L. Exams are from power points and lecturel. Study them and you'll do well. No need to read the book. Labs are fun and an easy A. Attendance very important. Lots of extra credit in lab and lecture exams. She makes the class interesting. Is available after office hours. Very friendly & helpful

She really cares about her students. Gave probably 40 points worth of bonus through the semester. Without the bonus, I would've had a C but finished with an A. The quizzes and discussion questions are easy points and help you learn the material. Lots of work for a 3 credit class.

Comment:

I took this class last semester and was totally prepared for my next class. Dr Misra is so intelligent and presents the lecture so we can understand it. Always makes sure to take extra time and help us. This class is not for lazy people, complainers or whiners. We are given so many chances to do well. Wish she taught more classes I could take.

Comment:

If you feel you know the material, you probably do, but it wont matter anyway. All the material on the test has nothing to do with the slides she teaches in class or material in the book. The material on the test has words that Dr. Misra never mentioned once in class. Highly recommend not taking her

Dr. Misra is a professor who definitely knows her field. Her tests are lecture based, and can include lab lectures, and she gave quizzes in her labs. Also had interesting things to add to her lectures to help you remember the details. I would take her again if possible.

Dr. Misra really knows her stuff and she does her best to communicate it the class. If you don't understand something you can go visit her during her office hours and she will help you out to the best of her ability. Her class is definitely something you have to put extra time and work into. It was rough but worth it.

Comment:

I'm currently taking the online summer 104 class and it is a lot of work as expected. Not being a science major, the class is very challenging and out of my league. Dr. Misra has been incredibly helpful and understanding. She has given me more guidance in studying than I ever expected from a professor. I'm doing well only because of her guidance.

I went into this class knowing it would be tough and it was. It is a weed-out class for biology majors. If you struggle here there's no way you'll pass any other bio class. Dr. Misra is fantastic and helped me out of office hours. People who don't put in the time and effort complain all the time. The chapter quizzes helped prepare for the exams.

Comment:

She isn't helpful and can be quite rude at times. I took her because I saw she had a good rating on here and was sadly mistaken. She also always has something to mark wrong on your quizzes. The class is passable if you work really hard but I wouldn't take her class unless I had to. I am a straight A student and still struggled to pass this class.

Comment:

I'm taking Prin of Biol right now. It's a really tough class. I thought the medical field was for me. Dr. Misra is an excellent professor and has helped me realize that my strength is not in Biology. I'm switching to Psychology. I just hope my future professors are as great as Dr. Misra. She's not only super intelligent but also a fantastic person.

Comment:

Her class was a little rougher that I was expecting, but if I would've studied more thoroughly for the exams then I know I would've done much better! She's a very nice person and is incredibly helpful. She is always available if you have questions. There are weekly quizzes and lab write ups which help keep your grade up!
