Prof. Prashad has been the greatest professor I've had. He's changed both the way I view the world and my goals for being a functioning human. A great, very interesting guy. If you're up for a challenge take his class. Sometimes gets too cocky.

Comment:

Let me begin by saying that he is undeniably BRILLIANT. I don't think I have been more fascinated by any professor in my four years at Trinity - both character and lecture wise. After taking his course this semester, I can safely say that my educational career here was worth it. If you don't take a class with him, you're missing out!

Professor Prashad is just an amazing professor. Interesting readings, short but challenging essays, funny and engaging lectures, his bias does come through but i always looked forward to his class. Attendance is mandatory, one missed class and he will fail you.

Comment:

Probably one of the best professors at Trin. Towards the end of the semester we stopped doing coursework during class and just talked about the current affairs of the school and world. Super Intelligent, fair, and friendly. Despite his obvious socialism, he accepts all opinions and provides the best discussion anywhere.

This man grows more arrogant with each passing semester, as he tries to transform himself intellectually into Gandhi but with NONE of Mohandas' humility

He has an excellent understanding of whatever he teaches and will work to help you understand it as well. He assigns tons of readings and papers, but is pretty fair.

I think he is one of the most knowledgable intellectuals on campus. His knowledge of the world is not restricted to a region or subject or time period in history. Briefly, He ROCKS!!!

He is the smartest person I have ever met. He teaches you through example how to be an active listener and even if you do not believe in his views, any argument you make in the future will be strengthened by what you learn in his class.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant speaker and scholar. He does not lecture, he talks to you. He is a leader, which is something we really need right now.
