Latest Reviews of Professors
“Prof. Chanaka is overrated. He doesn't teach anything during lectures and he only marks up the obvious on his slides. Group projects are based on participation. I struggled to understand the HW. I suggest you read the textbook to pass the exams. Final isn't cumulative and is multiple choice, which isn't a good thing as well.”
“Prof. Christian is perfect! He creates amazing content that really makes you feel like you're learning in an in-person class but very time-flexible. There were few graded assignments, but they hold a high grading percentage. He'll make you work for your grade, but it's really worth it. Would definitely recommend taking him!”
“Prof. Beneish's lectures were often confusing as well as quizzes and exams. Doing practice problems and reading the textbook will be your saving grade.”
“It was a huge mistake to take this class with BIO210. This required more time and effort. There were lots of reading and watching of long clips and films. There were long study guides due weekly which were really time consuming. It's actually impossible to finish it even a couple of days before. Instructions weren't clear and he often took back things he said such as extra credit opportunities.”
“It felt a 7-hour class with Prof. Escandon. Her exams are very hard. She will even try to confuse you. Lectures aren't even helpful for her exams. I don't even know how I passed her class. Class started with many students, but ended almost empty. I feel like she only passed me because I was one of the 10 students who stayed.”
“Classmates almost convinced me not to take his class, but I discovered that the trick is to go to his office hours if you need help with understanding. He'll help you with homework if you ask him questions and all you have to worry about is the exams. Would really recommend him!”
“Prof. Bunyan used to be a police officer, so he shares a lot of fun stories about being on the force. We used a textbook in class, but I got As on tests w/o it. It's easy to take notes in his class and he tends to cancel during Fridays. He only gives one paper and 3 exams, but he doesn't use Canvas, so you won't really know your grades.”
“Prof. Reddy is pretty decent. She clearly knows her stuff and she really tries to be helpful, but her lectures are very monotonous and dry. Study hard and strive to do well on the midterm and final exam because they're 25% of your grade.”
“I really love Prof. Tan! She made our 8 AM lecture more fun and interesting. She lets us out early most of the time and she even cancels class a couple times. We only had a couple tests the whole sem and lots of small projects were worth most of the grade. You wouldn't want to miss her class because attendance was also taken on TopHat.”
“Prof. Joseph is one of the best engineering profs at Berks. You can see that he really wants you to learn the basic concepts and be creative with more complex solutions. He gets a bad rep for pushing students to think, but it really helps us learn the material better. He's an amazing prof!”
“Professor Kuo's accent is too heavy. Sometimes, it's hard to even understand whats he's saying. ”
“Take the class of Professor Vanhemert as long as you have time for the class. Night classes got out 45 minutes early to work for him, for 30 minutes outside of class, which meant at least 2 hours. He takes a full month to grade every assignment and takes three page announcements to get across one sentence of instruction. The subject is easy. It's just him that makes it hard. ”
“I highly recommend Prof. Urena! She's the best! She makes sure that you really learn from her and her exams are pretty easy.”
“I really love Prof. Moruzzi's class! I honestly would love to take his class again and enjoy his thoughts. If I was rich, I'd take this class again.”
“Prof. Rao's class is primarily lecture-based. I find the textbook really helpful but we weren't actually required to read it. Most of the lecture was word for word from textbook. She gives extra credit through LC and her exams are really tough. Some topics aren't even covered during class time.”
“I've had an amazing experience at Georgetown with my professors. Sadly, my experience with Prof. Steck was different. He rudely interrupts people during class. He doesn't care about his students' lives outside of the class and he also fails to uphold the standards of Georgetown profs. I really wish he would improve.”
“Prof. Joseph's course material was user-friendly and organized. He allowed two attempts for each quiz with 5 chapter exams. He used online lecture videos with analogies to relate material to every day life. He also gives chapter outline and study guides. Textbook was accessible for free online. You'll have to put in time and effort, but you'll be given everything to get an A. Best prof, I must say!”
“Prof. Jacobi is amazing. If you're sensitive, grow up and be an adult. Pay attention with everything she says because the most hilarious stuff comes out of her mouth. There are tons of reading as well, sometimes even tangential. If she caught you sleeping in class, she will call you out. She's very respectful and caring!”
“Prof. Emily is a strict grader and she gives little feedback on rough drafts. She lets you redo papers but original grade is very low. Her directions are long-winded, so by the time she's done explaining, you'll have to ask her to repeat it. She also takes about a month to input assignments and she's very choosy about Moodle assignments.”
“Grades come from 2 papers, 2 exams, and attendance. He's an amazing lecturer! Only downside is that he doesn't have any visual aids. Sometimes, he even writes things down on the board, so you'll really have to take good notes. He's a fair grader though. Exams are pretty fair. He's willing to negotiate deadlines and give extra credit in class. Overall, he's really good!”
