Comment:

Professor Parmar has been one of my favorite professors as a college student. I took her for both SEED 3401 and 3402. She makes you work for a good grade, but the challenge is what will make us great teachers. I have learned so much in her classes. There is a course pack with readings and other materials. Be ready for pop quizzes and presentations.

Honestly I had heard some questionable comment made about the Professor. However when we started class she was not what people had made her sound like. She cares whether or not you do well. As should all educators. She was the first one out of the two education I have had that made me write a lesson plan. She takes her job as a teacher seriously.

Comment:

DO NOTTTTT TAKE THIS CLASS if you wanna get an A. This professor is a really tough grader. She dead took points off my hw just because i was 10 mins late to her class. She does not help her students. So selfish !!!! Prepare your self to read endless readings. She's not clear about her expectations at all. She takes attendance the minute class start

Comment:

Okay so I passed her class but the cost was working my ass off. The material is very hard to understand especially if you're not an abstract thinker. You need to show up to every class prepared and ready to discuss. Her final exam is based on your understanding of material she taught. I like her personally, but her teaching can be improved a bit

Comment:

Here we go... THIS WAS THE MOST STRESSFUL CLASS OMG! Let me explain. The work is intense. Making lesson plans is no joke. Evaluating teachers based on the Danielson was ok. Lots of presentations. AND EXAMS. Participation is a must. She is not afraid to fail anyone who wouldn't seem like they'd make a good teacher. I wouldn't take her again.

Comment:

This professor was clear on what she wanted and expected. We did a lot of group discussions and she always let you speak your mind. She respected whatever you said and always gave you a chance to be yourself. A lot of work but so worth it because you can learn a lot from her. She was one of my favorite professors so far in Brooklyn.

She is the worst professor I have ever accounted for. She would put you down as much as she can. No matter how hard you work in this , you will still not be able to get a good grade. Don't take her!

Comment:

This professor was by far one of the worst I have had. She is not very clear about her expectations. She's responsible for teaching future teachers, but only stepped foot in the classroom to teach poetry as a guest presenter. News flash: kids like guest speakers, you're not that special. Get over yourself.

Comment:

You will do well in her class if you do not question the assigned readings for your essays. In presentations, ask for clear expectation and be the 3rd presenter to a clear sense of what she expects. Her grading policy is very subjective bc she is not always clear on her expectations. Her poker face is real, you can't read her. Participation is key

Comment:

Professor Parmar is knowledgable but she comes to class as if she is already bored by the time she walks in. Her class is helpful in future lesson planning but asking for clarification from her is non-existent. She can be dismissive and condescending to her students at times. Although she is nice outside of the classroom, inside she is pretty tough

Comment:

She is only interested in pushing division between races. She is extremely nasty to white students as well as science and math students. You would ask for help and she would say no. She is not a nice person, this is the worst professor I have ever encountered. Do not take her class, she has major issues and a complex she is crazy. Google her

I am about to take this professor's class. I have not taken it yet. I'm looking for feedback from other students, as I am learning disabled. How does this professor handle students in her class with disabilities (specifically learning)? Any feedback is appreciated thank you.

She's a tough cookie, but just wants you to actually learn and participate. Do your work and you'll get the desired grade.

Comment:

I had Parmar for EDUC 2001 & 3401. Her expectations in both classes was clear. 2001 was a relatively easy class with class participation a big factor in betting an A. EDUC 3401 was challenging. This uses a revised edition of her doctoral thesis as text. It is a theory class, so find your way to first absorbing the theory before criticizing it.

Comment:

Prof. P is very clear on what she wants from her students. The only thing that she requires is to respect the structure that she has for some assignments the rest is up to the students. I learn a lot and she makes you think critically and seriously about teaching. Getting an A is not easy but not impossible; You have to work hard

Comment:

If you want to know what life under commiunism is like (and as every Polak knows). You do what you are told, you think the way she wants, you write in your papers what she wants to see and you will get an A. Just like in communism, you will be taken care of, just do the above and if you won't you will fail or D(eath).

Comment:

I was very disappointed with her work ethic. She arrived late to almost every day; yet, she is hard on student lateness--terrible work ethic. I gave her A+ work; she gave me a B. My first B in any of my education class. If you want to learn how to become an effective teacher don't take her class.

Comment:

I enjoyed this class and the things that I learned. Prof. P was very helpful when I needed her help. She has high standards for her students so this class is not an easy A. I did not want to take her because of the things I read on this site but I can honestly say she's a great professor. If you're a good student you have nothing to worry about.
