Comment:

Chadha gives the pretense of understanding and working with the student without any actual compromise or accommodation. In person meetings and zoom meetings are futile. Exam heavy for this course with test questions that were ambiguous and hard to interpret. No feedback provided for paper until after term and had to be requested. Avoid if possible!

Comment:

Took her for Capstone (online). Syllabus defines assignments but doesn't correlate with online book. Frustrating. She does not baby you, this is a senior course. Do your work and you will succeed. She emails back promptly but usually to tell you to figure it out. READ and abide by the syllabus! Everything was online so READ READ READ!

Comment:

I was initially scared to take her class online bc of her reviews, but the reviews are not completely accurate. Yes, the due dates are not always clear, but if I found an issue or missed a deadline, I would immediately email her about my problem and she would work with me. Takes a few days to email back, but gives great feedback. Def recommend her!

She has stated people in the USA in schools where she went to as a student, were patient with her. But she is not happy about something and it affects her teaching.

Comment:

Unclear grading criteria, confusing and conflicting information and prompts, issues with textbook selection. Expect to get low grades on your papers. Assignments can be due at 5pm, 8pm, 10am, noon confusing and unnecessary. Not a pleasant experience. I would NOT recommend this professor.

Online course was pretty easy as long as you keep up with the reading. Also keep up with assignment due dates, you won't be allowed to re take them.

I advise EVERYONE not to take this professor. I signed up just to rate her! Her online quizzes are easy, but her test don't cover the material you studied for! DON'T TAKE HER!

She gives you the option of purchasing the books however, she downloads the needed materials making it easier for the students. If a student has concerns or questions they should contact her immediately. There is opportunities for extra credit.

Comment:

Unnecessarily difficult. Homework, assignments, and lectures do not provide enough information to help with the material presented in the timed exams. Kind professor, however not easily accessible. Her teaching methods aren't the best. If you are taking this class just to get the credit for it, you will have to put in a lot of effort to pass it.

Comment:

Excessive workload. Impossible tests. Doesn't grade assignments. Grade unknown until end of semester surprise. Final exam is timed essays with barely a minute allowed per essay. Ridiculous! I was given no option to avoid this professor or I would have. More than half the class dropped her quickly. My perfect 4.0 was destroyed taking her. Avoid!

Comment:

I would never take this teacher again. If you are taking this class for a grade DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. She is a hard grader she doesn't respond to emails or messages. Her test are ridiculous. She gives you 30 questions and only 20 minutes to complete. The questions are not anything that you read. I do not recommend this teacher. She gets an F.

Time for test is not enough, 20 minutes for 30 questions means you better read fast and know the answer fast.

Comment:

She makes sure everyone is on the same track when lecturing but the timing of the tests and assignments are not fair at all!! I just wish i could take my time. Questions are repeated in the test and expect to be disappointed when you check your grade.

Comment:

This professor is so far the most difficult professor I've ever taken. She gives TIMED and ONE ATTEMPT homework assignments. Some of her questions on the tests, we have never learned or heard of before. She does not give any test reviews or extra credit and she wants us to study from our homework as test study materials. Her tests are a nightmare.

Comment:

She never responds to emails and she gives you 20 minutes to take a test and there is 30 questions and the test is not over what you read. When she finally responds to your question you've already failed and she is not willing to work with you. I wouldn't recommend this professor if you want to keep your GPA up.

Comment:

I took her hybrid class and it was EXTREMELY difficult. The lectures are nothing like what is on the test. I am not even sure why she bothered lecturing at all. The McGraw Hill online assignments were constantly screwing up, and often issued me a '0' for not completing them, even though I did. I am surprised I made it away with a 'C'!

Took her hybrid class. It was horrible. My professor for the course was changed at the last minute. She's nice but shouldn't be teaching. Absolutely nothing of her lecture is on the test.

Comment:

Took her online and had a horrible experience! She was not helpful at all and ended up with a D in the class. All A's and B's on my transcript except this POLS class. Her tests are all over the place and are not consistent concerning the material assigned per week. She takes weeks to respond to emails about assignments that are due less than a week
