Really sticks to deadlines; if you don't do it by the deadline, you won't get any credit. Rarely lets you make up assignments. Really accessible and helps you during office hours.

Comment:

Be prepared to go to class everyday or you are screwed, the majority of your points are tied into 5 quizes and two group projects. They seem clear and easy on the surface but she is the most nit picky grader iv ever had. unless your answers are essentially taken write from her notes they will be marked as wrong.

Comment:

Dr. Banerjee truly cares about her students, will not hesitate to slow down or re-explain if you don't understand what she is teaching. Super kind and helpful in office hours, inspires you to have a good week, assigns homework but goes over it the next day. Very good professor, would recommend 100x

Comment:

Class for masters program. SO MANY assignments for a summer class. Grammatical errors & tech issues in blackboard-yet she'd immediately punish you for the same things. Very slow to grade & not easy to talk to. I'm an A student, work hard, turn in early, do extra & I was NOT a fan! Turned in something & she just said she didn't like it-got a 0!!!

Comment:

I took this as an elective for my master's program. Overall, I am not impressed with the professor. Work submitted two weeks ago was not graded, and this was a 4-week course for 3 credits. Her assignments on Black Board had numerous spelling and grammatical errors. The material was interesting, but the method of delivery was not as good.

Comment:

Priya is a mediocre teacher but knows her stuff. She expects A's from everyone but forgets everyone is different. Rushes you through quizzes and the final, and gets very angry if you are confused and ask for help. Is disrespectful towards you if you need help, at times she refused to help me and told me I wasn't working hard enough. She's rude.

Comment:

Dr. Banerjee is an amazing professor! Negative comments are coming from lazy students who are used to "getting by". In the beginning, I did not like her. But when I stepped it up, communicated with her, and actually worked hard (like we should), I improved and got an A. She is SO helpful and cares. It all depends on the student. Best professor!

Comment:

Hated her in the beginning of the year, now my favorite professor. She's a really nice person, but very strict. Anything a few minute late is a ZERO and she is very strict on attendance. But if you are a generally good students she will appreciate your hard work. Started the year out with a C- and ended with a B+. Recommend but not if you're lazy!!

Comment:

I loved her class - she is definitely a hard professor and you shouldn't take one of her classes unless you're actually interested in the topic (because you WILL have to do a lot of work). She's really passionate about what she does and if you need help - she will provide it! Just be prepared to work hard!

Comment:

All A's on the first 3 projects and tests. Every assignment graded 2 weeks after they were turned in. Unanswered e-mails. I almost failed and I am a straight-A student. The last two assignments were tough, but having no feedback from assignment #4 left no room to change anything for assignment #5. A 16 page AB received a grade of 0! Not impressed.

Comment:

Had her last semester. Worst prof I've ever had in uni and I'm a senior in this major. Gives 0 for assignments 10 minutes late, no exceptions. Looks down on you for making human mistakes. I had a 4.0 before her class. Just all around full of herself and rude, not understanding. I appreciate strict. I don't appreciate her brand of arrogance.

Is she kind? YES. Is she caring? YES. Is she a good professor? No. I had the worst time with her. I studied very hard for this class and it wasn't good enough. Her study guides are too long and rarely does it cover an inch of the exam. Her grading is a joke. The highest grade ANYONE ever got was a 87. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR GPA!!!!!!!!

Comment:

Get ready for no clarity or feedback that is actually useful in this course. My grade was based on 4 quizzes that came straight from the most terrible textbook I have ever seen in my entire academic career. The book is full of errors and the slides Dr. Ban provides repeats the errors. The rubrics are confusing and unclear. Shame this is University.

She is very thorough and she gives out practice exams. She also gives extra credit in the form of writing paragraphs, attending lectures and or homework assignments out the book-very easy points. Very nice Professor who wants her students to excel.

I enjoyed Women's health online. I learned a lot, the assignments were clear, Dr. Banerje was very helpful. The quizzes were tough, but everything else was easy. I have an A in my first graduate class at Brockport ! Thank you, Dr. Banerje.

Online was miserable!! Not only did she ONLY give me 1 rubric showing why I got the grade I did, I never even saw the rubrics to begin with. Very unclear about her expectations!! Harsh grader and too much work for the shortened summer sessions! I would HIGHLY recommend you take this class w someone else and definitely NOT online!!

Online class is brutal. Grades were based on a different rubric that you never see prior to doing any of your assignments. I didn't learn from what she posted. Most of my grade came from my ability to write papers & use APA format, my knowledge about Women's Health was useless. Too much work for a shortened summer semester! Would not recommend!!

Dr. Banerjee was the best. I went to see her and she went above and beyond to help me. She encouraged me and helped me pass a very tough class. Very genuine. I would take any of her classes again.

Comment:

This class, was the worst class that I have ever taken. I hated every minute of it. The professor believes she is helpful, but she is anything but. She relies heavily on group projects and quiz grades. It was a nightmare to have to work though, I will never take another class with her again. If you have to take HLS 488, take it with someone else!
