Comment:

Nagina was an overall caring and decent prof. I wouldn't say she was above average though. Her class was really easy but asking her questions is frustrating - she doesn't listen! She also seems to rush marking without giving appropriate feedback. It's an easy course but idk how this prof has a phD (like many other profs at Rye).

Dr. Parmar is very passionate about what she teaches, and cares about her students. Show up to lecture, pay attention, and you will receive a very good mark. Tests, assignments, and group project were all very easy. Dr. Parmar showed relevant articles and videos that made the class material easy to understand and engaging. Loved this class!

Comment:

Highly recommend this class to for an easy A. Dr. Parmar is clear about assignment requirements and if you fulfill rubric criteria you'll do well. Tests are harder - but she gives you test Qs via Kahoot in class. Lectures were long, occasionally bland and confusing to follow, but if you attend she'll set you up for a good grade.

Her teaching style made things engaging and easy to grasp the material. Comments made here are not true reflections of what Dr. Parmar personality is as I strongly disagree with them.

Comment:

Hasn't updated lecture slides since 2014. Nice lady, enthusiastic about the topic, and definitely has experince in drug development, but she sometimes uses articles from non-reputable websites for lectures and I found her confusing. Not great at explaining things.

Comment:

Very knowledgeable. She says things and she goes on and on but hasn't actually said anything or contradicts herself. We would ask Q's & I'm not sure if she didn't understand or just wasn't listening because she'd go on about something else. Plus, she would make us do an exam, then have a lecture AND expect a written reflection in the same class

Comment:

She knows her stuff and is very nice, but she's confusing. She words things in such a way that she could mean A or she could mean B, or something else entirely. And that's both in class and on the tests. Half of our class was confused. There are weekly reflections to write, a midterm, a final, a group project, case studies, & an individual project.

Dr. Parmar is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches. Do the work, follow instructions, show up to class and you're pretty much guaranteed an A. I found her lecture materials very interesting as well and would definitely recommend this course.

Dr. Parmar is great. She's really caring and does her best to make sure all her students were following along. She was also super open to comments and opinions from her students which is really appreciated as it shows she wants to learn along with us.

Comment:

She's one of the few professors that actually seems to enjoy teaching and is actually interested in the course material. Lectures are easy to follow. The assignments had clear marking guidelines. The midterm and exam were fair and as long as you went to class you'd have gotten at least a B. Overall a great professor.

Comment:

I truly don't understand why people give her bad reviews. As someone who doesn't pay a whole lot of attention in class, literally all of her question were straight from her notes. It really was not that hard. She is a very forgiving marker in her assignments and provides great feedback. Its university, classes aren't meant to be easy.

She likes to pick on certain students, and the exam was way too specific. Too much work and stress for a liberal study

Comment:

Would not recommend her class. Tests had content that hadn't been taught yet and contained information told wasn't going to be on it. Often skips over slides because she forgets where you are and when you go to correct her she says you can go back and read it yourself.

Dr. Parmar is a great professor who really puts in the effort to teach her students & is always accessible. She explains the material well & going to class really helps reinforce the content. Her zoology class has a lot of opportunities to get a good grade, including 2 midterms, online smart learn, a lab & extra credits. 10/10 recommend the course

Comment:

She is very supportive, wants her student to do well and always feel concern when her class average is B. Class attendance is as good as one mark. She prefers class average of at least A-. Gives detail of semester expectations at the begin of the class. The course is very informative on the process of drug discovery to approval. Awesome A

Comment:

Only reads off the slides and the slides are very unclear as in they do not form coherent thoughts sometimes. Tests on material not even covered in the class, you're supposed to read the whole textbook on your own as well as come to class and know the extra material taught in the form of videos and student presentations.

Comment:

Doctor Parmer is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had in my schooling history. Count your self lucky if your blessed enough to have her. She has a very sweet personality and is very supportive to your learning needs. She makes the class environment easy to participate in. She marks fairly and also the exams won't be a surprise as well.
