Aditi Samarth is kind, caring, intelligent and truly enjoys art in its many forms. she has taught me to truly appreciate other cultures and what they bring to humanity as a whole. she made a positive difference in my life and I would just like to say THANK YOU
Great Teacher, is very intelligent and knows what she is doing. Loves art and expresses her views and opinions and leaves room open for interpretation. I would highly recommend taking her!
I enjoyed her class a lot. It opened up my eyes to many different cultures, especialy Indian culture. I enjoyed celebrating dewalli, the festival of lights, with her and I would deffinatly recommend taking her class.
She's an awesome teacher who has interest in what she teaches and shows concern for her students. Her style of teaching is very easy to understand. All it takes is a little studying.
I liked the class alot and I'm glad that I chose this particular class. If I had to take the class again I would definitly take her class again.
Awesome prof!
This teacher knows her stuff and the class isn't hard at all. She made me really interested in her class, though she did piss me off towards the end of the semester... but nonetheless, great teacher.
Wow. Definately the BEST class ever. I took her maymester ONLINE. A two week internet course sound like hell, right? Nope. I fell behind because I hadn't realized it was a maymester. I pretty much did the whole class in 4 days. SUPER EASY. Miss S is SUPER nice. By far the easiest 3 credits I have ever earned. Best part about it, I still learned!!!
What an awesome professor.I never ever got bored with the class.I was always looking forward to the class.She made the class intersting and fun.She was intersted in all students always asking if there is anything I can do to help let me know.I wish I didn't have to leave the class.One of the best Professors I have had.She is awesome and fun.
Great Prof.!!! This class is right on target. Taking the class online and it is very interesting. I wish she could teach the other online teachers how to teach an online class. Everything she tells us to do is very understandable, her directions are excellent!! Take this class!!!
Took this class in Maymester as well, and it was sooo easy! I finished all the work and exams in the first week. I did the final project while I was on vacation in Miami! That's how easy this class is online! She is a straight forward professor, no confusion at all!
Great Professor, brings alot of experiance to the class along with great slides and humor.
She is so sweet and fun. Still has her indian accent. You will have a lot of extra credit activities, that would help u a lot to make an A easily.
Teacher's great, class is great. Tests are good. Fun around every corner. Believe me this is one of the best classes you'll ever take.
Aditi Samarth is a great professor, very open minded. Her classes are very easy.Her test are moderate, as long as you have the notes you'll do just fine. All I did was look over the notes and the rest was just a piece of cake. The requirements are just super easy 3 journal essays, 2 test, and a presentation. Only bad thing is extra credit is trips
This was a great course. The professor made the interesting and informing. You know exactly what to expect in her classes.
Very enthusiastic and funny teacher. She uses different teaching method to make the class interesting. My Grandfather passed away on my exam week. Thanks to Aditi, she gave me a second chance and I got an A for the semester. She should be voted for Teacher of the Decade. So if you guys out there like a loving heart teacher, I say Aditi is the one.
Class is interesting and fun. Take your notes and go over them before test and you'll do fine. Very easy to make a high grade in there. Teacher is nice, and hot!
Good Energy.....
She knows her stuff
She is very easy, Very helpfull, Makes everything realy easy to understand. NO TEXTBOOK!!!!! Participation is good. The more you participate the better because she will know you and if she knows the better cuz she will be easier on you. RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG SO EASY! =) no textbook at ALL! great teacher. highly recommended! A++++++
She's extremely nice, funny and very easy. I loved her class, she makes it interesting and fun. Very helpful, always open to talk to. It's an easy 'A'. I would definitely suggest her.
She is a good professor if only you read your homework
A very sweet teacher.Easy 'A'.Knows what shes taking about.It will b a great learning ex[erience.Gives easy extra credits.Highly recommended.
what you think the 21st century education shoud be? Specialy in subjects like humanities. I never thaught that I would enjoy studing subject like humanities. But, after taking Miss. Aditi's humanities class it was totaly diffrent form my Imagination. Be that wrighting papers or presentation it was real fun and the presentation helped us a lot to
Easy class, just be cautious about the what version of powerpoint you use for your final project!!
Very easy class. The teacher make the class interesting and is extremely helpful.
She is awesome! Best teacher ever!!!! So easy to get an 'A'(if you don't, it's your fault). I had tons of fun, not boring at all!!!
Let's just put it this way: I took her class and failed. Then I took that same class again because she's THAT awesome of a teacher. The failing was my fault; missing quizzes & journal entries, skipped a lot, had hang overs, etc. You WILL learn something interesting in that class. Plus, she didn't hate me for failing her class once. NO TEXT BOOK!
"I'm here to teach not to punish"
FREAKING AMAZING!!! She really nice and loves her students. She grades pretty easy too. 3 journals (completion grade) go to museums, lots of extra credit, and if u come to school and pay attention you should pass with flying colors.
her class is fun, but she forces you go some art agllery a lot on saturday to write journals and it wastes a lot of time. Then her exam is really hard and spercific. not recommend
She is an awesome teacher. Enthusiastic and shows passion for her students and for the class. Definitly, very knowledgable in the subject. If you come to class, pay attention, and study the handouts you will pass the class with an "A". Lots of extra credit. the class is interesting. Highly recommended...
I took her online Humanities course. I'm sure she's a fun and sweet person, but I found her online lesson plans to be somewhat unprofessional. Too much "hip lingo". Assignments and exams were not too difficult, and she gave plenty of clarity on the final presentation you have to submit. This class was more of a chore, than an enjoyment for me.
She is interesting and nice but you have to study hard and attend perfectly in order to get 5 points. It's not easy to get an A but it's not hard either
I don’t think she is an easy teacher just because she make you go places and write journals about it. You have to attend her class every time. Her exams are very very short and a lot to study. Other than that she is always in a good mood and make you confertable in her class as much as she can. I did not get an A in her class but, I still enjoy her
she makes the class easy, while still learning... just go to class and do the assignments, which are not hard, and you'll get the grade that you want..... just show your effort!
I chose this teacher based on comments posted here.It was my first internet class & I don't know if I'll take one again. Not only was a book required but every ch. is 30-40 pgs long. Not reading=missing alot of the questions. Quotes are taken from the book but are not verbatim so beware. READ, OUTLINE, HIGHLIGHT and READ again before testing.
Professor Aditi was a blast. This class is just too easy. Some of the comments are very false(trust me). She is the easiest teacher I have taken a Richland College. She is very respectful and loves what she does. Just be attentive and motivated and you will do fine.
Sad to say I had Aditi for only half a semester. Goes off-topic and cover only part of the syllabus, but sincerely tries to interest students, and has great insight into art. Paper: view a specific art exhibit at the DMA and write analysis and opinion. Test and class are easy, IF you study your notes and scan each paragraph of the book. Good prof.
A very sincere professor.
She is a fantastic instructor. Go to class, read what she asks and you will have an A. Essay test type. High recommended!!!!
I only had her for half a semester (she had her baby right after that) but the class was rich and exciting with her insights and experiences. Take her class(es). She is open-minded, clear and very positive.
This professor is simply awesome!! She is very flexible, and she will definitely go the extra mile to help you. I love her and she rocks!! Take her and you wont regret it.
Proof that artists make the best teachers :) Very open minded, knowledgeable, and energetic. She encourages questions, has a great sense of humor, and is generally a great person to be around. By no means an average teacher. If everyone in the world took her class, the world would be a far better place.
she is great..she is fun. she knows what she is talking about..
VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT ART AND HUMANITIES.
Cannot ask for a better teacher its hard not to find something in this class thats within your interest.
Cannot ask for a better teacher its hard not to find something in this class thats within your intrest.
Amazing teacher; she's hilarious! She doesn't make the class difficult. Just show up, do the assigned work, and study a bit for the tests. The main thing is that you MUST talk in her class, she finds it really annoying when no one answers/gives opinion.
She is a great teacher. Explains all the concepts clearly, with a lot of enthusiasm. The review sessions will tell you what?s on the test. Lots of extra credit. I don?t think anyone has ever failed her class.
loved the class. pureness, clarity of concepts and extremely friendly teacher.
if you want to learn more about humanities and different cultures of the world this is a class for you.the class is fun,you will enjoy it.
Aditi is a sweetheart. She truly loves teaching, it's obvious from the first time she walks in class. Show up, pay attention and take notes! The exam question are of the top of her head, she'll tell you what the are. She likes people who are involved in class and express themsleves. She knows alot and has been all over the world, she's experienced.
I enjoyed the class and learned a lot. I thought Aditi was a great professor.
Wow!Mrs Aditi is an amazing professor and that pretty much says it all.Every time she came into the class she would have a big smile on her face! Just listen to her in class and dont talk when she is talking. And its not like I love art or something,its just that she makes it amazing.I made an A and I plan to take her CULT STDY class.TAKE HER CLASS
she's great more than I've ever thought...take her class.She's knowlegdeable teacher and extremely friendly,really love 'er!!!!
I loved this class! Ms. Samarth is so energetic and full of energy! It's never boring in her class. Also, there is not much classwork/homework. Instead, there are class discussions over the stories & articles we are assigned to read. There are (of course) a few quizzes, tests, & 1 project. Just make sure to pay attention & you will make an A!
Best Teach I ever had...subjects were cool to talk bout, movies, 1 presentation, no homework...she makes you feel good, kinda cute too
I took the class in the spring and loved it. At first i thought this class was going to be very boring but she made it fun and interesting. she knows what she is talking about and she is very enegetic keeps you awake. I recommend this teacher to anyone. just make sure u do your work and the assigned readings and you def make a A !
pay attention to the details
I took her online course over the summer. It was straightforward and pretty simple. The class was self-paced. Must read the book! One PowerPoint presentation in the class.
She is a really good teacher. Looks kinda cute too. You dont need to buy the book because you read over the articles and handouts from class. Just pay attention and you will pass the class. positive on that.
Mrs. Samaratha is one of the most inspirational teachers here at Richland.Thankfully, she teaches Humanities and Culturies. I had an wonderful opportunty to take her CULT 2370-Cultural Studies class. She will teach you fascinating things about the Middle Eastern literature (Ex.Kahlil Gabran and Rumi)art, and culture. You will love it.
She is an excellent teacher who is veryknowledgeable about the Middle Eastern Culture, religion, art, and literary works, which she will cover in Class.I enjoyed the wonderful literature works of Kahlil Gabran.This Cultural Studies(CULT 2370) class was much better than I expected. What an amazing learning experience.
Top 3 teachers of all time!!! I just finished her cultural studies of the middle east and it was the best class. You will never have a boring time and we actually have great class discussions. I recommend everyone to take her class. You will learn alot without even realizing that you have. She cares about her students!!!
Mrs. Samarth is an amazing teacher! She makes the class very fun and enjoyable. Out of all the classes that I took, this class was the best one! She will always help you and most of the time, will teach you real life lessons that will help you in the future!
prof. samarth is a very easy teacher and fun. she related the class to real life. her work is easy and the readings are fun. just come to class and do the work and you will get a good grade.
Class was geared towards Middle Eastern studies. It turned out to be VERY interesting and educational. Lots of open discussions which were fun. One midterm and a final; one research paper with a presentation. Attendance is the key to getting an A bc of random quizzes and essay final/midterm. No hw besides the occasional reading from the text. Great
Professor Samarth is a fantastic teacher. She brought an excellent attitude that made the class come alive and comfortable.
What a wonderful professor! She is fun and upbeat, very compassionate, and doesn't make you buy a text book! I highly recommend her! :)
Prof. Aditi is a superb teacher. Her class is engaging and she keeps you awake. She makes you think about relevant topics. She really sticks to her syllabus and is on time with everything. She makes you work so you will learn. If you pay attention to what she says you will do perfectly. Amazing teacher!!!
Ms. Samarth is literally THE best professor I have ever had. No exaggeration; she is an AMAZING teacher. I honestly cannot think of a single negative thing to say about her or her teaching. If you have the opportunity to take her class, TAKE IT.
This class is like a family. you learn at the same time it fun. The professor is excellent in terms of knowlege and personality. Thes are the tips for success in this class.1 attend lectures.2 print and read the online home work.3 Follow the study guide that she always gives before each test.
Wonderful professor, gives great world insight, and makes class exciting. I've almost cried 4 times in this class b/c of the beautiful lectures, such as on morality & arete, the 8 spoked wheel & Buddhism, and Ghandi. Read the hand outs. I only wish the students were more respectful towards her. She pours her heart out&treats us as individuals. :)
This Professor is the best. She is energetic and makes the class fun. Students that take this class will not want to miss 1 of her classes. I learned a lot towards the Buddhism, art, etc. this is that Professor you will mention later on to somebody that she was the best Professor you had in college.
Very nice professor. As long as you read the handouts you will do well. There is no textbook, which can be great and terrible at times. But overall, she is a great professor, just pay attention and class and don't be afraid to TALK! She loves participation. A+ for her!
This teacher is an incredible guide. Not only does she have personal rapport but an substantial wealth of knowledge. She is very encouraging for students to explore knowledge. Her students' best interest is at heart in all she does. I count her one of the best professors I will have in my scholastic career. She is a very positive influence.
I had Aditi for huma last spring,and I love the way she teaches because its beyond the books and instead from her heart.Make sure to at least skim through all the readings.For final,a lot of Q's she made up were from class presentations.Didn't teach the material,so I felt as if it was unfair for her to test over it.Made an A, so its all good! :)
This Professor Is A BEAST. She is very energetic very helpful opens your eyes to the world teaches you many things. Lectures are very interesting Always happy and Nice. I will take more future classs. I got a A so im happpy but you have to do your work this is college no slacking off. And Shes Hawt !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the most difficult class, but Prof. Samarth is effective at making you THINK. Though Asian & Middle Eastern focused, individual presentations allow research into other areas. I learned as much about being an effective teacher as I did about humanities from Ms. Samarth. The class is a chance for personal growth, if you are willing to work.
Prof. Samarth is one of the best professor in Richland. I had so much fun in her class that I cannot explain. In her class you are not going to have just fun, also you will learn lot of things that is not just on textbook. I have to say, if I can take any other class with her, I will be happy to take it.
Grate teacher, keeps things interesting with interesting topics. If you do take this class be sure to have plenty of printer paper theres no book but you have to print out your own handouts. Test are easy, just be in class and listen to lecture and you should be fine.
She is the BEST! ALWAYS COMES TO CLASS IN A VERY ENERGETIC MOOD! WILL KEEP YOU UP TO UR FEET! JUST DO WHAT SHE SAYS... PRINT OUT UR HOMEWORK! BEST PART IS NO BORING TEXTBOOKS! SHE ALWAYS MAKES THE CLASS FUN! THOUGH SHE WILL START USING TXTBK NEXT YEAR, I GURANTEE U, U WILL NEVER WANT TO MISS HER LECTURES! PLUS U WILL LEARN ALOT! IF I DID, U WILL!
3 wk online course consisted of a quiz & db posting for each of the 16 chapters, plus 2 exams, an essay & PP project. Tests are detailed & text is not available in ebook format. Lots of work, but Samarth is very responsive. Overall, it was a bearable course and I would take her again.
Online class. Work hard and you'll get a good grade. Responsive instructor, prompt.
Great course! Taking her CUST 2370 now...love it! Middle East focus course. She'll treat you like a college student. No whining with her. Prompt, clear e-mail responses.
Great teacher! Full of energy, interesting, and a sweet! I had a crush on her!
Online class. Quizzes, exams are open book. One paper and a project. You work a lot, but learn a lot. Good class!
Learned alot and very easy. IF you show her that you understand she will give credit. All she wants is to make sure you understand. Quizzes for each chapter and a couple of exams and 1 paper and 1 project. All in all and A +.
she is very energetic.comes in the room saying "HELLO". shes great, talks alot but gets her point across and gives great lectures. little to no out of class work. easy A
Work hard and you will do just fine.
She does a great job. If you read the chapters and do all the online quizzes you should do fine. She is always in a good mood and happy. It's an opportunity to learn and make a good grade!
Straight forward, clear and simple instructions. Quick communication responses and fast grader.
I wanted to take a course in Art Appreciation and wasn't really sure what to expect. This was an online class and I loved the course! The instructor is very responsive and attentive to the students. If you do your quizzes & assignments you should do well.
She is very helpful and knows her subject well. Very easy to score in the quizzes and projects are simple. Takes interest in the students and in class debates/ discussions makes this class lively, entertaining and fruitful.
I was recommended Dr. Samarth by my sister. Her class is very fun. She is a easy grader and will help with any questions/concerns students have. I really enjoyed her class and passed it with an A. Great teacher. Highly recommended.
Great teacher, she's extremely knowledgable and makes huma interesting. The book is mandatory since there are 17 EASY quizzes, totally recommend her. She actually listens to what students have to say. Easy A :DD I loved her!
Professor Samarth is a wonderful professor. Grades fairly, makes classes interesting, and interacts really well with students. She has a passion for education and really wants all of her students to succeed. I would highly recommend her class and would love to take the class again!!!
took class that focused on china studies. she is a brilliant woman and professor. I would highly recommend taking a class with her but be prepared for a REAL college experience.
Just took her online flex term class. 2 tests (materials are mostly from quizzes), 2 discussion boards, 1 comparative paper. Easy in grading, quick in returning emails, clear in instruction. It's just that you have to read basically the whole book, so you have to be interested in Arts to be able to finish your reading. Highly recommended.
She is an absolute delight. I enjoyed every single day of class. I never missed a day. Even if i was late, i would still make it to class.makes the lessons interesting. she's knowlegeable. You don't have to do a lot of work, and u learn a lot. She will open your mind to a whole new world. trust me, you will love her.
Prof. Samarth could not have made this class any easier. She is fun and witty, with lots of real-world travel experience. This gives the class texture. I would highly recommend this professor!
I think Ms Samarth is one great professor.She has the book and travel knowledge of her field. I enjoyed this class and gained a lot of knowledge. I am already looking into another class that is being taught by her. She have you eager to attend class and easily wanting to extend your class time. Participation is required and gladly given.
She is very good and fun. Her class will be so fun and helpful. If you have any questions, she is willing to give you more help for...sure you will get A in here class
She's very kind and helpful. Her lecture was really interesting. She really cares for attendance. My test results were not excellent, but I went to class very often. So I got A eventually. (:
Took her class Spring of 2011. She by far is the best teacher I have had at Richland. If you want a true lecture that anyone can relate to take this class! You are awesome MRS SAMARTH!
She is a sweetheart, strict but still a sweetheart!
the best teacher I have ever in my life. Aditi, i love n I am missing ur class.. Hope, I will see you again...
Took her maymester online, very easy and the assignments are very cleear! Need to read the book but its not bad. Just write on ppls DB posts and post your own and your done! The last thing u had to do was a 20slide powerpoint on the chapters. easy A :)
She is one of the best teachers. I took her for EDUC 1300 and then I took her again for ARTS 1301. I both got A's. She is very happy, spiritual, and gets everyone involved in the class.Take her class!
Best Professor I have ever had, she makes you think and question a lot of things about life. You have to be part of the class if you want to get an A, but its a great class! she makes learning other cultures interesting and fun. Take her you won't regret it
Good teacher, i hated her at first but she lightened up. Shes a little strict but funny and energetic. This is a super boring class not gonna lie but she makes it fun! GET HER!
She's a really great teacher. Sometimes talks in circles and she wrote her own book. Notes is key to her test and she gives quizes that you have to pass and memorize inorder to pass. But other than that she's funny and talks ALOT and she can be a Dork but who isn't. I loved her class and she'll work with you when you need it. RECOMMEND her Highly
Great Professor.
The best teacher ever. Take her and you wont regret her class. it is full of fun and easy. make shure you go to class,study her review sheets and youll get an A. 2 multiple questions tests and 1 group projects. Shes the best
Always happy in class. You can't sleep in her class.
Knowlegeable in many cultures and philosophies. A great teacher
She is just the best ,the humanities class is more fun with her,she is always smiling.If u come to class everyday and do the study guide before the exam u will definately make an A'.Probably the best at Richland.
She is the best i highly recommend her to anyone who wants an A'.attendance is mandatory.She is forever smiling and she gives study guides to exams!
A+++ Gives extra points for attendance and she is super nice and helpful! Easy A you just have to study the review
She is VERY nice and helpful. The only hard thing are the study guides bc they have multiple answers in some, but she has very interesting PowerPoint to go with the lectures, always prepared. She is also very funny and knowledgeable. She's very understanding when it comes to projects, gives you plenty of time to finish,overall one of my faves.
Aditi Samarth is an extraordinary teacher with a wonderful character. She is pretty well energetic and has an emence knowledge of the mateial(she actually wrote the book.) I took her on May term and got an A. I highly recomend this teacher.
She is a good teacher. She takes attendance and provides study guides for her tests. It really bothered me that she wouldn't end class on time, always 5-10 minutes after class was supposed to end. Pretty easy teacher though.
She is a great teacher. She makes everything very relatable. She gives study guides for the test and goes out of her way to help you out.
Great teacher. All assignments are very clear. As long as you go to class, you will get a good grade. If you ever need help, she will hp you without fail. Exams were easy if you payed attention, went to class and looked through your book.
I have to say, she was pretty amazing. Some might think or say that she is Easy, but Nope! She is not. However, she is so clear on everything and always helps you and works with you so much that you will Never feel that pressure. And she goes above and beyond to make absolute SURE that you KNOW the material before she moves on to another subject.
What can I say that hasn't been said yet on this particular professor. I probably learned more in her class than all my other classes combined. I enjoyed the way she brought up certain things on cultures. Always had class discussions and brought the best from all of us. Charismatic about what she teaches. Always in a happy mood. Take this prof
She fines away to get you to understand the topic before she moves on
A refreshing teacher who made me want to come to school everyday just to have discussion with her. Intelligent, worldly and aware of her presence. By far the best teacher I had this year....
not an easy class but a great class with wonderful class discussions on all topics.
An outstanding professor with an unprecedented level of knowledge in her field. Best i have had!
This class is my favorite class i have taken here at Richland. The professor makes you feel comfortable in class. There truly is no such thing as a stupid question in her class.The projects assigned are not difficult but do require research. She makes class fun and exciting!
There are little words that could describe the experience a person could have in this class. Regardless of anything you will absolutely learn so much about yourself, society, and the world every time you have a conversation with this professor. I will take what I learned from her to heart and I will miss the outstanding, fun, and educational class.
She's such a great teacher. This class is a great opportunity to learn about other cultures, it's very interesting. I would take another one of her classes.
Attend class & if you know you're gonna be absent e-mail her. Very helpful & very interesting, she is not your average teacher! Pay attention, get on her good side and you'll make an A.
Mrs. Aditi is awesome! Her lectures are interesting and she is extremely informative. There is a lot of work, however, she answers most of the textbook questions in her lectures. She is a caring and wonderful lady. I would take one of her classes again!
Professor Samarth is a true sweetheart. She loves art and makes it so interesting. This class is impossible to fail. She wrote the book you need for class. There are worksheets inside for each chapter you have to fill out; which she answers most during her lecture powerpoint. Two attempts for tests and 3 essays of 250 words.
Professor Aditi is incredible! I always looked forward to our class discussions because they were always interesting, fun, and full of a variety of perspectives. She is helpful, caring, and understanding as well as fun and outgoing. And you can basically find most of the answers in her presentations. I would definitely take this class again. :)
Professor Aditi is the best professor you could ever have from class discussion and she respects every ones point view. TAKE HERRRR.
Professor Samarth is incredible!! She loves what she does and you can tell by the way she teaches and interacts with her students and you can tell she really cares. She is very funny and down to earth and she always makes the class interesting. She's very blunt and honest but everyone loved that about her! I highly recommend taking her class.
I wish i have to take this class again and again! extra credits are amazing. tests are easy straight from book, online, and 2 attempts. very few effort needed. SHE IS EASY take her and you will know what i mean. no one gets C or B with her. there is attendance points otherwise just come and talk and chill in class You will never regret.
I love Mrs. Samarth! She really goes out of her way to connect with the students and to make the class enjoyable. Being the only high schooler in the class, I never felt left out bc Mrs. Samarth would always make sure I was involved in the discussions. She is an incredible professor and she takes time to build relationships with her students :)!!
Ms. Aditi is one of the best professors I've had. She is a genuine person and there to help you out. Has a deep interest for the subject. The tests are straight from the book and fairly easy. She made class interesting and fun, would recommend to others.
Fantastic teacher, very interesting class discussions! Always dressed for success very bright colors makes for a fun class!!!
Professor Aditi is one of a kind, she is very unique. I never had such a sweet professor before plus she is always dressed for Success. Lectures are so interesting that you get surprised when it's time to leave. I was so excited to go to class every morning that we met because that's where I would have the best discussions of my day. she's amazing!
Your gonna work but learn.
I took her class for summer 1 and there were discussion boards and test that the answers came straight from the book. The discussions board had to be detailed but over all if you do the work there is no reason you wouldn't get an A
I took her for summer 1 online and as any flex term classes it was fast paced. There was a lot of homework but nothing too hard or that couldn't be done. I got an A and just did all the work but the test were a bit hard Expect you got 2 try's so by the second time you know some of the answers
Good classroom atmosphere for all kinds of discussion topics. You have exams that come straight from the text-work book. a class presentation and a museum paper. Not too much or not too little work. But you'll learn about world cultures.
Tough teacher-not a lot of input as far as her online presence is concerned-you're really on your own. Didn't give much feedback either.
I regret taking this class. The teacher is very confusing and unclear in her expectations. I was excited to learn about world cultures and art history, but this teacher stomped that fire all the way out. She'll count you down and not even tell you why. Not a learning experience at all.
Not an easy class. Readings, writing, exams, essay, presentation, museum visit, workbook and she checks your work. Be ready to work.
Tough grader and very confusing.
She really enjoys her subject. She has traveled the world & always has an extremely interesting story & perspective on every chapter you learn about. One thing I didn't like about the class was the text book, there were too many typos. Very easy class to make an A. Make sure you participate & complete your ch. assignments. There will be essays!
I took this course online, & I have taken 8 other online courses, so I have a good idea of what to expect of them, & I work hard to keep a 4.0. I found her course to be very unclear & disorganized in comparison to the methods of my other professors. Maybe she's a better teacher for in person classes, but online was a horrible experience for me.
Professor Samarth is an incredibly gifted and attentive teacher. Her approach to teaching is firm but fair. She gives you all the tools and materials you need to succeed in this class, if you don't pass, it's on YOU. Ms. Samarth is attentive and steadfast, knowledgeable and always ready to answer any questions you have!
You will need a textbook to pass, but if you follow instructions its an easy class.
Very clear and direct.. responds to e-mails promptly. You have to read but this is college. the project was fun.
I love her professor Samarth's class and would definitely take it again! She's a nice and fun person to be around. Take her class, its an easy A!
She's very nice, always takes time to take part in school activities and overall a good teacher.
I just finished an online flex-term course with Prof. Aditi. She was prompt in grading and in responding to all e-mails. It's not an easy class - 12 quizzes, 2 exams, 4 discussions and a project. But I learned a lot about many new cultures and art. It's a truly college course.
The class is a wonderful class. She is very fair when grading and assigning assignments. She is always thoughtful of others when assigning and grading. Keep her updated if youre going to miss class, she will always understand. She does group work and uses an online version of the text book. There is not a lot of work.
Had a great time in this class, and learned a lot.
This professor is so great, she is funny and if you do your work you'll get an A easily
She is a nice teacher. Always be on class and do your assignments you will pass the class. She always helps students.
If you need a fine arts credit, get it with her. Class is easy to follow, textbook is useful, and you can do most of the assignments ahead of time if you do your reading. (If you have prior knowledge you're all set.) 100% you get rewarded for the effort you put in. Not a blowoff class, but if you do your part she'll do her best to help you out.
Professor Samarth was one of the most easiest teachers I had this year. She is so sweet and so fun. Her class and her assignments were so easy, I feel like I could get her stuff done and turned in.
I had a hard time in Aditi's' class. She doesn't give second chances to make up a test and she can be mean to you, if by chance you don't follow her guidelines with class projects. I highly do not reccomend taking her for Humanity's 1315.
Best teacher, ever! Do the work and earn your A. Reading, writing, group work, quizzes, presentation, project, paper, and discussions all for a grade. Very knowledgeable and fair teacher and will give you plenty of chances if you work hard. No slacking off in her class.
Take her she is amazing just do your work on time aka lots of questions she explains everything deeply like your really in art museum take her regert it !! Best teacher so far
I took her online winter class and she was extremely responsive to emails, understanding and patient. I got an A with her and would definitely take her again!
Professor Samarath is an amazing teacher. Took this class in winter break. You have to work for the A but its worth it. You ll be amazed to read about different cultures. She is quick with email and helpful.
Ms. Aditi makes the course interesting about art and culture. Lots of class discussions and interactive work. She follows the syllabus and can be strict. But if you make effort she will help you for sure.
I took her Islamic art and literature course. online course. I learned a lot. But she is very thorough and has high standards. not easy but a great experince. I liked the course and the instructor is very nice and responds to e-mails very promptly.
I agree with the other reviews. She loves what she teaches and reviews your work so don't try to turn in your work without reading the book. The class was pretty easy and you will learn alot. Just remember to READ the book and you will be fine. She is great aand loves what she teaches.
This is my second course with Prof. Aditi. I took one course on campus and one online, and both her classes are fantastic.
Aditi Samarth is such a nice professor!! Highly recommend! I had issues and she helped me out to solve them. I would recommend taking her Humanities class!!
Great class.
I loved this class and the professor, she is such a great teacher. You can see that she loves what she talks about and also she has a great sense of humor. Loved the lectures and the way that the class took place.
Professor Samarth's online class was amazing! Everything you need to know will be on ecampus, very well organized! You do need a book but it's actually a really interesting book, I really enjoyed reading it!
Her instructions are clear and detailed which made the assignments very easy to follow. She responds to e-mails very promptly.
She wrote the book. I bought the wrong book on accident and still passed though. Would take again
She's not an easy teacher. But you'll learn a lot. She opens up your world with examples of world art and culture. Great examples. She makes class fun with small group work and discussion and projects. Easy A with hard work.
I really enjoyed the class ! Is not boring, she know a lot and about many subjects. The class is really interesting. Be prepare to work in small groups and use your book a lot.
She pushes her students to be good students and shes very intelligent. Easy A.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Took her for Summer 1. You could finish the class in a week if you really had the time to. 4 discussion boards, 1 powerpoint project, and 3-5 reflection paper. Just netflix and youtube is needed for the class! No money spent on a textbook, god bless. but she has great feed back and grades so quick! I so recommend.
Dr. Samarth is very intelligent, her lectures are A1. Attend all her classes and do all the assignment, easy A.
I really enjoyed her class, she is an amazing teacher. Her class is very inciteful and she gives a lot of content. Would 100% recommend this class to anyone!
This is not an easy A. You have to work for your grade, at times it may not be you that is wrong but she is a tough grader. There are not enough assignments so you have to make good grades on them in order to pass. There should be one option for extra credit in case a student messes up on one paper. No late work accepted. Only pro she grades fast.
I am taking this online and she is OK. Only 4 discussion boards and 1 project and 1 master paper. She Is kinda rude I hope shes not like that if you are taking it on campus, and she is a tough grader.
The Best college professor I've had so far! Very inspiring & kind. I learned a lot. I can say I've very experienced with the Muslim culture thanks to her amazing lectures. The content she provides is very insightful and she always pushed us to do better because she strongly believes in her students. I 100% recommend Dr. Samarth!
Dr. Samarth was always prepared for class and grades in a timely manner. She had 4 discussion boards and 8 discussions with classmates, a paper and a project. There is a lot of content in the course, which helped understand the topic in detail and from different perspectives. She has high standards for attendance and assignments.
This is by far the best class I've ever taken! If you need a humanities class, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS! Professor Samarth made this class so interesting and fun. 4 discussion boards + responses, 1 powerpoint project, and a master paper. You don't need to buy a book as she provides everything. The work isn't hard, but you do learn SO much!
Professor Samarth is a great teacher! She is very respectable to others views, but will let you know if she disagrees, but conversations are always respectable! Don't miss class. I'm still attending her class, but would absolutely take her again!
Always happy! Truly passionate about her subject matter
Take this class! Super easy online class with 4 discussion boards, 1 master paper and a PowerPoint project. No book needed and fast grader. Easy A!!!
Prof. Samarth is a very tough grader. It seems that if she is in a bad mood or doesnt agree with what you write, she gives you a bad grade. She can respond very cut and dry to emails. If you take her online, even though you answer all the questions, she will come back and tell you you didnt put in other information that was not required.
I took Dr. Aditi's Humanities course in May. The course is clearly laid out and the syllabus outlines all the policies. She follows the syllabus. 8 quizzes, 4 discussions and 8 peer discussions, a paper and a project. The content is very interesting and was new for me. She grades within 24 hours which helps in the next discussion. Good feedback.
I took this class as a Summer course, this class is not very easy. It requires a lot of reading and movies from various sources and while the quizzes are easy, the discussion boards are 3-5 paragraphs minimum. I advise that you take this class if you are really interested in humanities and/or as a semester long course, not a summer/flex term.
Took 1302 and 2319 online courses. It's college courses, so expect to read and write. She has high standards but is quick in responding to emails, grades within a day and is helpful. The negative remarks about summer courses here are because summer courses are very fast and you need to keep up. You learn a lot in her class.
interesting content. open minded and fun. quizzes, discussions, paper and project. fast grader. gives specific feedback, not generic comments. not an easy A, though. but i learned a lot.
One of my favorite profs thus far! Less than 10 assignments due over the course of the spring semester, but they were all worth a large chunk of my final grade. Reading & research intensive, but as long as you meet her very clear criteria you will do well. She is a quick grader & gives her students the opportunity to get creative in their work
Good instructor! Clear and direct and quick communication from the get go. All assignments and due dates are posted from the first day of classes. Discussions, quizzes, paper and project. Great content and lots of new things to learn. Take her! A+
Awesome instructor, great class, assignments were clearly stated.
Her instruction for class assignment is not 100% clear. I would not mind taking her class again if her instruction was more clear. Not too happy with my grades, but at least I passed.
Great experience! Instructions and due dates are clear. Her way of teaching is unique, and you learn so many new and interesting things without feeling overwhelmed. She may get a little sassy at times but shes a prompt grader and responds to emails. I would definitely recommend taking her classes.
Loved the class! Lots of new things to learn. Prompt instructor and expects quality work. You won't just read but watch films, music, videos, etc. Interesting and engaging. Very prompt.
Organized class and instructor. Clear assignments and grades promptly. Always responded to e-mails.
At first this class seemed very overwhelming, but then once I got into it I really enjoyed it. So far Discussion Boards are a little lengthy but not too hard. I am taking this class online and I would reccomend others to do so. Also, the Professor responds in a timely manner to emails and is very friendly.
Class material was easy to understand and there was clear grading criteria. Only issue is that the class moves incredibly fast and you take multiple quizzes and discussion boards weekly, so you need to have a calendar just for this class. She grades fairly and has easy to follow guidelines for grading. Expect a lot of busy work.
Took this as a flex term it was very fast passed. There is always something due as you would expect during flex terms. Very easy to get a hold of and a generous grader. Clear requirements on Discussion boards. Some Discusion boards were very long and time consuming. You do need to stay on top of due dates as she accepts no late work.
Dr Samarth was very organized and methodical throughout the course. I learned a lot.
Shes the nicest professor ever!! I love her! She gives opportunities to her students to do well and is kind and amazing! Shes really respectful of people and very lenient and understanding! Take her, you wont regret it!! Love her! She has a really good taste in fashion. She gives you extra credit for the smallest things
When I took humanities I thought it would mostly be about history about Islam but I was wrong it got more interesting and prof. Samarth was very helpful and and a great professor to have because I learned so much about Islam in those 16 weeks I would take her again if I wanted to. Also, she believes in superstitions like me like Friday the 13th.
Lots of new and interesting things to learn. Clear instructions. Dr. Samarth is prompt in grading and emails. Gives good feedback.
I took Dr. Samarth's Humanities class on Islamic Studies. I found the course very informative and organized. She was very responsive to any questions and enjoyed the material chosen in place of a textbook. Since I took a mini-mester the workload was heavy but expected and manageable. I would take a course from Dr. Samarth again.
The course is organized and the instructor has clear instructions from the start. Kind and prompt teacher. Fair and timely grading. Definite yes!
She is a great profs she lets you make up things past due date if you ask there just alot of discussion boreds. you have to take a quiz after each lesson and one last final paper.
Her course is easy but she is not very helpful. I had trouble logging onto my blackboard and was wanting to see how else I could get my assignment to her all she did was say contact the help desk... Final grade was 93 but was shown as a B from her? Couldn't email her about it because her deadline to ask her questions was the day before...
Professor Samarth really went above and beyond for this class. I wasn't able to hand in certain assignments and she extended the due date, after I contacted her. She was very kind about grading and I actually learned some stuff during her class. 10/10 would recommend.
Dr. Samarth is an amazing professor to take! I had the pleasure of taking her course on campus prior to the COVID-19 adjustment. She was always upbeat and very enthusiastic to teach, which made for amazing lectures and a great atmosphere. During the transition, she made herself readily available and provided constant communication. Truly amazing!
Her class was really interesting. I learned a lot. She is a great professor and is very understanding. There was a time I was late on an assignment and she was so understanding and still accepted it late! She also always gives feedback on grades! I would recommend her to everyone.
One of the most understanding and kind teachers Ive taken. I took her 4 week online class and as long as you keep up with the due dates, you will be great. She was easy to get in touch with. My favorite thing about her was how encouraging she was. Made me want to work harder. Definitely would take her again. 100% recommended Professor Samarth!
Need to post writings in discussion boards after reading the materials, but professor gives enough time to complete. It is a good choice if like to read and write.
Extremely well organized and expects same from students.
Dr. Samarth was an amazing professor. As long as you give it your best shot, you will get an easy A. The class is mostly discussions, a few quizzes, and a master paper and project (which were SUPER easy). She is very understanding and allowed me so many extensions on assignments as long as I communicated with her what was going on. TAKE HER CLASS!
Prof. Samarth is someone who would judge you based on how you perform in your assignments. In other words, if you really work hard and focus, you can pass her class with flying colors.
perfect!!
Assignments: Discussion Boards. Major grade on these. Final stuff: a Final Paper & Project. Easy to do as long as you read materials she provides. What u read/watch, all online, links searched & approved by prof. Need help, email prof., will respond promptly. Easy class, just focus & you'll pass. Took it for prerequisites for nursing program.
Would definitely give them a 0/10. If you are looking for an easy A this is not the class. The prof is a tough grader and gives terrible feedback on why they give the grade they give. They also do not teach you anything just will suggest movies, tv shows and articles that they did not write as the only learning materials.
The class is great. It is a class where you listen and write notes for the homework, or quiz. She is very organized on the due dates and the lesson of the day. I do suggest following instructions and asking the professor any questions. Overall, this class is very clear, and straightforward in the lesson and due dates.
Professor Samarath is the best. She respects students and receives respect in return. Her lectures are fun, insightful, funny, and relatable. She is a genuine person who teaches from her heart and cares about her students. There's extra credit, 4 discussion boards, 8 modules/ quizzes, and 2 simple projects. Amazing info and organization.
I usually don't have favorite teachers, professors, or anything but Dr. Samarath changed my mind. She is literally a really good professor, she teaches very well and also provides a comfortable energy to the learning environment. At first, it may look as if there are a lot of assignments and reading, but it's not at all.
OMG I loved her class so much. She is a really good professor, I have learned so much from her in-person class and had fun while doing so. Take her class, you will not regret it !
This class was amazing, I have learned so much about the Arab and Muslim culture while also being able to enjoy it without there being any boring lectures or notes. These assignments are quite simple and to the point, she even lets the class decide when things will be due.
The class material, the learning environment, and Professor Samarath made Humanities 1302 very informative and entertaining. Her lectures were never boring, they always consisted of interesting and relatable topics about life, and relating them to the course material. She would also take breaks and have class discussions if people volunteered.
The best class and professor ever! Seriously, you will not regret taking her class as long as you do the work, you'll have a great time. She is the most considerate professor ever, she will not disturb overly shy students, nor make people uncomfortable for getting a question wrong. She considers people's feelings while still being respected.
Dr. Samarth is literally so amazing, she teaches the course very well and provides really good information that isn't boring! You will learn a lot in her class and have fun while doing so. Her lectures were never exhausting and were often very funny. If you want an easy grade and knowledge, take her class !!!!! She was also so respectful to people.
assigns 3-4 page discussion boards.
Professor Samarth is a great professor! I looked forward to her lectures. Take notes while she lectures; you will do great on the quizzes. I would recommend taking this class!
Professor Samarth Is great; her lectures are excellent. If you take notes in class, you will do good on the end of the chapter quizzes. There are also a few Discussion Boards, but nothing significant. Her grading is very generous. Do the Discussion Board and quizzes on time, and you will do fine.
My experience in this class was very smooth and laidback. She is very helpful and pays attention to her students. The Discussion Boards are pretty long but we don't have many and they aren't due back to back. A lot of research in this class but it's very informative but I would take this class again!
Good content and helpful instructor.
She is an incredible Prof., Extremely knowledgeable, passionate about teaching, happy to answer questions, and willing to discuss and dive into topics that students ask about. She gives EC and provides plenty reminders for due dates, and her Syllabus is detailed/specific. I loved every class and I would love to take another course w/ her.
The professor lectures very well detailed in classroom so it better to attend her lectures. To feel more at ease asking questions, try to interact and speak with her more.She requires participation in class and uses discussion boards for homework. Overall, Great class
She is very caring and sweet
overall, an amazing professor, a caring and respectful person the class is fun and Interesting we learned about other cultures and religions.
Overall, pretty good professor. She knows her subjects well and presents them with plenty of detail, while making sure her students have what they need. Not too difficult of a class either, long as you're actively participating. No complaints here, would take her courses again!
Professor Samarth is so caring, and very personable. She has most of the things on the quizzes in the lectures, but reading will help you a lot more. Most of the work was extremely light, and very easy to complete. If you need more time to complete an assignment, just tell her about it. She will most likely extend the due date for you.
the course was really interesting and she explains really well and thoroughly. She is really nice and is funny and is what you would want in a professor. She is also really easy to talk to so don't be scared! She gives extra credit and takes late work. I think you can easily pass if you do the work, its easier than it seems. Also read chapters!!
When I was taking Professor Samarth's class, I noticed that she was very patient and answered questions emailed by my fellow students in a timely manner. In the beginning, she assured and apologized to the class if she or what she teaches goes against the beliefs of a student since she tries to be respectful of others both students and faculty.
She is very amazing! Her lectures are clear and she gives extra credit that is worth a lot. Take any class with her!!
She was a wonderful professor. The articles and work given correlates with the assignment not making it TOO difficult. She's also really good at communicating which is hard to get in online courses. She's a fair instructor and works with you. I recommend her class if you want to learn further on humanities while not stressing yourself out so much.
This instructor was clear and always prepared for the class. Communicated clearly. Replies to emails promptly. Make sure you do the readings and videos.
Dr. Samarth was interesting and funny which made it easy to learn from her. Her lectures and textbook were very fascinating and not hard to comprehend. Quizzes, exams, and projects had to do with material that we covered and nothing was ever out of left field. She gave loads of extra credit and willing to extend due dates! I highly recommend her.
I read the other reviews and thought she was easy. She wasn't easy at all. Even though she has 6 discussion boards, they are graded very hard. She has a rubric but even if you used her sources in your post as required, you would probably be a "C" or "B" on discussion boards, even if you write 2-3 pages per post.
The instructor grades promptly and gives specific feedback on written assignments so you can improve. Responded to emails fast. The online course is easy to follow. She is clear in communications and posts course announcements regularly to keep the class on track.
Six discussion boards and peer reviews, one paper and one project and a short course introduction activity, so not too difficult. She posts regular announcements and reminders. Quick to respond to emails. You need to do all the course work. No room for slacking.
It was a good course. Discussion boards, peer reviews, project and a reflection paper. She is very fast to respond if you email her. All due dates are set and she tells you when the course begins. But you can email her if there is some emerhgency you might have. WRite clearly and you can make very high grades. Recommend.
Fast track summer course was not easy but she has effective communication and patience, which meant a lot to me as I was behind on some assignments. She responded fast to student emails and grades fast so you know how you are doing before the next assignment and you can do better with the useful and exact feedback. Enjoyable course.
Wonderful, wonderful professor and class! Lots of variety in learning and No textbook. Gives great feedback. Easy communication and accessible. I learned a lot in her class. A+
The course is clearly set-up and she lets you know the due dates in advance so you can plan your assignments. Grading is very fair and consistent. Just email her if you need anything and she is very helpful.
This was my first online class in the summer which made me nervous and I got several due dates mixed up and submitted the wrong assignment and in all the wrong tabs. She was really patient and repeatedly told me not to worry and to focus on learning. She accepted my written work for the due date but then showed me how to use that tool on ecampus..
The summer online class was fast-paced but she laid out all the due dates well in advnace. She gives clear instructions and posts daily announcements. Grades promptly and gives specific feedback. You read, write, do peer interactions, watch short videos, do a timeline, see great artworks so its an interesting course to learn about world cultures.
She is very disciplined about the assignments and the due dates, but also very fair. The clas was interesting and I learned a lot about cultures and people. Assignments are focused and she even gives you the rubric that she will use for grading. There are 6 discussions with peers. I enjoyed the travel paper assignment in the course the most.
Would take this professor again. Assignments were difficult at times but overall fine. If you put in the work, you'll do good.
I am extremely pleased with this class. I highly recommend it if you have the chance to meet Professor Aditi. Her lectures are fascinating You also develop an interest in art and the way she explains things makes it very easy to understand. The assignments are appropriate, and she grades fairly. Professor Aditi is very knowledgeable and respected.
Professor Samarth is patient and understanding, making the course engaging despite the online format. Unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for exam prep - along with the helpful feedback, it really boosted my learning.
Dr. Aditi has been an outstanding professor throughout the semester. Her lectures are highly effective, and attendance is mandatory, ensuring active participation. She provides valuable feedback on assignments, helping students improve with each submission. The course is well-structured, and the online resources are excellent.
Dr. Aditi Samarth is an excellent instructor. I took both HUMA 1302 and 1315 with her, and they were great. She is organized, responds to emails quickly, and is always there to help. Her teaching is clear, engaging, and supportive, making learning a rewarding experience.
Interesting course content and great readings lists! Fast track summer course was well organized and engaging. Lots of peer interactions, too. Don't fall behind. Instructor provided quick feedback and grading was clear. Discussion boards, blogs, projects and a paper. Take the course. You won't regret it!
Well organized course. Engaging course.
Dr. Aditi is approachable and accessible outside class. I found her helpful and very clear throughout the course. She wrote the textbook for the course and many topics and ideas were new to me. I learned a lot. Thanks!
Dr. Aditi Samarth is a clear communicator and always responded promptly to my emails. I didn't understand how assignments were to be done but she gave me opportunities to better my learning through writing. I found her very helpful throughout the course. I would take this instructor again!
Wonderful instructor. Dr. Aditi Samarth has a clear course outline with clear instructions and due dates from the start of the class. She graded promptly and gave useful feedback and tips for making assignments better.
I've really enjoyed taking her class. Her lessons and instructions have always been clear and easy to follow, which made this class manageable and engaging.
This course was amazing!
What has amazed me in this class is the rich foundation it provides for students to learn about the past and how it applies to the present and future.
Great course and she clearly puts a lot of effort into this class. She provides clear instructions and she communicated via ecampus and replied to emails very promptly. Dr. Aditi was also very understanding if your grade is borderline and if you submit all your assignments on time, you will earn a high grade.
I took the summer online HUMA 1302 course and found Dr. Samarth to be a very caring and competent professor; always attentive to my emails and to my actual work. I appreciated her efforts and genuine care.
I truly enjoyed her class. I hope I'll have the opportunity to learn from Professor Aditi again during my degree program. Thank you for everything.
Professor Samarth is a very hard grader and provides little to no feedback. I worked so hard in her class to only receive low and even failing grades. The resources she provided were limited and she isn't clear on what she's asking for. I feel that I answered her prompts carefully and thoughtfully but nothing was ever good enough for her.
She gave good feedback throughout the course. I am glad I chose this elective as my course. I have learned so much about fine arts and beyond my imagination. I did not know what to expect when I signed up for this course, but I am glad this was the course, and she was my professor. I feel that the course opened up my world view.
Just finished submitting the final paper for this intensive fall first 8-weeks course and I am here to say that the course is less of an academic exercise and more a transformative process that heightened my self-awareness and clarified my core values and aspirations. I learned so much about great world literatures, philosophies, and arts!
I really enjoyed the course and I'm so glad I decided to take this class. Learning new things and I loved watching videos about the different Native Americans. I really appreciate her teaching style.
I sincere appreciated Dr. Aditi teaching our Humanities II (1302) course. Her composure, clarity, and the thoughtful guidance through complex topics are truly top-notch. The way she explains the subject matter especially the philosophical and cultural dimensions of humanity—makes the learning experience both engaging and deeply meaningful.
I really am enjoying this course Art Appreciation. There's so much to learn from art, especially from the pictures themselves. Just thinking about how a single artwork can express someone's deepest emotion or secret is really amazing. Take this class!
Dr. Samarth's teaching pattern has not only helped me understand the material better but has also inspired me to reflect more deeply on the values that shape individuals and societies. I genuinely admire her approach and the energy she brings to each class. Kudos for being such an awesome educator! Thank you for all that you do.
So sweet and kind. Her class is very easy and she is very open about wanting student to do well and pass her class. Hardly any studying needed.
I want to express my sincere gratitude for her support throughout this semester. Thank you for the multiple opportunities to improve grades, which helped me achieve an A in the course. I truly appreciated the extra credit, her patience in answering questions, and the encouragement she provided along the way. Meaningful class with a lot to learn.
Thank you for the amazing classes.
Professor Samarth is really helpful for assignment and courses. Encourage open discussion and values student opinions. Creates respectful classroom environment.
She's a lovely teacher; very kind and understanding.
This course and Professor's methods have helped me considerably. This will positively impact my life from this point forward. Thank you.
The teacher was amazing. Allowed us to finish all assignments early, and was very productive in terms of grading.
although its online class all discussion and projects are so engaging.
Don't like. Rude email. Grade harshly.
I literally made an account to leave this review, that's how bad it is. I'm currently working through a short term with this professor, it's literally just an elective, and all I can say is if you don't want to be doing the absolute most for some elective course, skip her. She's too much and too strict.
