Comment:
Purnima was the best prof I had during my MSW. She was informative, passionate, and helpful. GO SEE HER AT HER OFFICE HOURS-talking with her one-on-one will help you so much. Don't be afraid to ask questions she loves sharing knowledge. The course work can be dense and hard but she makes sure everyone passes and does well.

Purnima is an incredibly thoughtful, hardworking, and sweet person. If you have any questions or concerns, go talk to her. She is very accommodating and wants students to do well. Several readings, but her slides were detailed and contained most of what was needed for exams and she told us about which readings to focus on for studying.

The passion for her work is so clrear in her teaching. She enrich her teaching with examples of her own research. I recommend her class to thoes who are interested inreal learning.

She is SO passionate about her work & the course, this is her life's work & she has done much respectable community work & written many great papers. The students giving her low ranks are concerned only with their grades & nothing more. She illustrates points with many personal experiences & will spend as much extra time with you as you require.

Good god, run. she is BORING!!! attendance dramatically drops after break. her lectures are so unbearable that I stopped going to class after midterm and just read the readings. midterms and finals are fairly easy cause I studied. She could explain such an easy concept but makes it so complex.however, she is nice and friendly.

She is an amazing professor! She doesn't care how long she has to stay to help a student. She will do it. She is very helpful and just wants her students to do well in the course. You need to work in her class though. Work hard and get her help. You will do amazing!

Purnima is very approachable and is always willing help, if you ask for it. She is a hard marker on the assignments, but if you follow her guidelines and talk to her if you have any questions, you will be fine.

Passionate and dedicated; made me excited to go to class every week! A lovely, caring prof who is genuine. Wish that the course had been more challenging in terms of providing feedback and critique; would have liked more thorough exploration of self-reflection through articles and readings. Overall - Looking forward to more classes with her! :)

are people seriously whining about what a 'hard marker' purnima is? has it occurred to you that perhaps your essays and assignments are not as good as they could be? class is good, prof is great, unless you want to have everything handed to you and not work for your grades. you have the opportunity to LEARN something so go for it.
