Dipra is very kind and understanding and actually does a great job teaching, unlike other teachers in this major. :)
Dipra Jha is an intelligent instructor who cares about the industry and cares about his students success. He challenges them to research and really know the industry they are going into. I recommend him as a professor.

Nice guy. Good teacher, too.
I really enjoyed him and his class!
This was a very worth-while introductory course for those interested in a hospitality management degree and he was very knowledgable about everything that we discussed in the course. You could really tell that he wanted us to take something away from his class and I know that a lot of us students did.
He had many speakers, and he knew a lot about all the industries, and was very knowledgeable. He always was understanding if you need help. Attendance was taken every class and you cannot miss more than four.
Very interested in the subject material which kept the class interested as well. The way the class was taught was through speakers which introduced us to many different areas of the profession, very helpful in deciding if this major is right for you. I enjoyed his style of teaching, very kind and fun.

Dipra was a great teacher who had humor and great interest in the class. I really enjoyed his class.
Engaging, direct, and humorous. Uses his extensive background in the industry to provide context and credibility.
Dipra was by far my favorite professor thus far at UNL. He was very helpful and I enjoyed coming to class. Having class at 8am is not that appealing but since class was interesting with his different stories from experience it made me want to come and I enjoyed it despite the time. Can't wait for my future classes with him!
What an educational course. Dipra really encourages students to be successful and pursue their passions. He gives great interview advice as well as career counseling. A great professor reference to have!
Great teacher!!!!
He knows his stuff and if extremely helpful.
Dipra brought great points into the classroom from previous teaching experiences as well as prior employments he has had which made the class seem more realistic. Dipra also seemed to care about his students and interested in helping us.

Dipra is my favorite teacher ever! Take any class he offers!
Great teacher!
Very interesting discussions!
Great class, very entertaining professor. I learned a lot and very much enjoyed the material of the class. I loved that he uses real life experience and examples to teach the class, makes it more engaging. He actual cares about our opinions and has an outside life besides teaching. Great guy, looking forward to more of his classes. Good choice UNL!
Has a great insight and so much experience in the hospitality industry. Lots of great stories.
Awesome teacher with great experience to share! Opens the class for discussion and tests are online. Awesome tie selections!
Great teacher, creates a personal relationship with all students and tries to make sure all students continue to grow to be prepared for after college.
The class discussion was always the best! I'm not sure how much information I'll retain though because there wasn't as much of a focus on the material as there was on class discussions.
My favorite professor at UNL. Always available to help with anything and everything, and keeps every class interesting.
Wonderful professor. I've had several classes with him and he is always so helpful and interesting. His experience in the hospitality industry really makes class worthwhile.
Fun professor with a lot of knowledge about the industry. Enjoyed group discussions and learning about real life experiences/examples. Could be more helpful when trying to develop a business plan (teach how-to sessions throughout the semester maybe?)
Dipra is so laid back and down to earth. He is always willing to help you and knows a lot about the hotel industry, having worked for hotels before. He also has awesome international experience to share with the class. Definitely take a class with Dipra if you can!
Dipra has many years of experience in the hotel industry. He knows what he is talking about and displays his passion for hotels and teaching which makes for a great class room environment. Dipra has many connections with in the hospitality industry and advice to offer.
Dipra Jha is very experienced and knowledgeable about hotels and it shows that he enjoys talking about it. I love hearing about all his experiences, especially being from a small town I don't always hear or think about all the topics he discusses with us. Dipra Jha really brings a lot of knowledge and his experience to class.
This class rocked! Dipra is interested in the lodging industry and wants us to be as well. He is so knowledgable about all things. I recommend this class (or any that he teaches) because of the easiness and how he is willing to help you will anything.
Dipra is very knowledgeable about the hospitality industry and really cares about the success of his students. He uses current events to help students put things in perspective. I wish I would have had him for more than one class of my college career. One thing, ask him to walk through the financials for the business plan project. Start early!
Dipra is very helpful and knows his stuff! Would highly recommend him as a teacher.
Loved this class!
Very easy class!
I like this course and it really help me to understand more and I learned a lot from the real cases.
He is by far my favorite professor in the Hospitality college, not because this class was simple in context, but because of his passion for his field. He has so much experience and he really teaches his students about the hotel industry and what it takes to be successful! Great class!!
Great, knowledgable professor
This was a very interesting course, and I will consider taking more like this in the future.
He is a great professor that sheds a lot of insight on the hospitality industry.
HRTM 479 is the capstone class and what a better way to transition into the industry from school. He shares his personal knowledge and experience. You learn a majority of the things from personal experiences and only a certain amount from the books. Great resource for the Hospitality industry. UNL...GREAT PICK. GET MORE!
Very fun and Dipra is great! He is very helpful!
Dipra is fun and outgoing and is approachable if you have any questions or just want to talk. I only used the text book for tests but it was helpful.
By far one of my favorite teachers! He loves to make us jealous about all the trips he gets to go on;)
He's a great teacher!!
Dipra knows that hospitality isn't always learned from a textbook. Instead, he brings real life situations and life lessons to class. One of the most experienced and knowledgable teachers in the HRTM program. I would recommend him to anyone.
I really enjoyed this class and found it very beneficial.
Great professor, very passionate about lodging and is very willing to help anyone with literally anything. Will write wonderful rec letters and uses his knowledge, both of the business and of people in the business to assist students. Class is interesting and his attendance policy is very forgiving.
Dipra is one of my favorite teachers! He has so much knowledge in the lodging industry and other countries abroad. I would highly recommend taking all the classes you can from him because you will learn a lot and enjoy the class.
Great class! Most of the speakers were great. Dipra discusses topics we actually care about!
Dipra is so laid back. He made me always want to go to class!
Great class to take for interest in the lodging industry. He allows you to have your own creative ideas.
Dipra is a great professor and did a great job with our lodging class. You can tell its his passion
Dipra is an amazing professor with an abundance of knowledge about the Hospitality Industry. Hands down one of the best professors I've ever had!
While this class is only an introduction to the hospitality school, you get to hear from many professionals and get an idea of where you want to head in the career. Dipra is very helpful and more than willing to get you connected with businesses in the area. The work load is very light, but make sure you attend so you can the most out of it.
The class was informative and interesting. I learned a lot from it. Not only does it introduce you to the industry, it give you a first point view of it. Nothing beats getting it from the horses mouth.
This was an awesome class, and I would recommend it those who don't know what they want their major to be.
It was a simple class with professionals in the field telling you what really happens beyond the textbook.
He was a very fun professor and very interested in his class that he taught
Very easy class. Professor was interested in what he was teaching.
I loved Dipra's class. You are guaranteed great conversation almost every class session. He is very intelligent and really knows and loves this industry. He is a great professor. I highly recommend this class.
Dipra is one of the most passionate and helpful teachers at UNL. I was very impressed by his knowledge of the lodging industry and his enthusiasm for everything. He is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend taking his course!
Dipra was an incredible professor to have teach the HRTM capstone course! He provides great insight into the real world of hospitality and always has a great story to share.
Not only was the study tour to Las Vegas fun, but it was incredibly informative. Dipra provided us with many networking opportunities and special guided tours. He is a great mentor and UNL is lucky to have him.
Dipra is the perfect professor to take the capstone class with. He is full of real-life information that I will use in my future profession!
Dipra impresses me every class. He is one of those people who seem to have their finger on the pulse of the industry - he stays current with everything happening in hospitality and takes great interest in sharing information with his students. Discussions usually focus on current events and how they impact/are impacted by hospitality than the text.
Dipra is a one of a kind professor & a valuable person to have as a mentor or reference. With his extensive knowledge of the industry & experiences from travel, he is full of awesome stories & priceless information. Class is discussion based & keeps everyone involved with issues of current events & trends. Definitely a class you don't want to miss.
great professor, unconventional learning, mentally challenges you without feeling pressure. He takes the traditional classroom of textbook learning to real world events and situation. Great energy, i loved all his classes online & in-class!
Great discussions and loved the laid back atmosphere! Highly recommend this class and Dipra!
Really enjoy all of Dipra's classes. I like how this class in particular was experience- and conversation- based.
Dipra is the most caring professor you will ever have. He will offer objective advice in career planning, and life. He's pretty humorous too!
Dipra is a great professor and he really knows what he is talking about and has a lot of experience that is very helpful to this class.
Great class to take if you are interested in the lodging industry!
Dipra knows his stuff! Great Professor.
I am thankful to have Dipra as my professor. He is an amazing professor who has taught me so much!!! Thank you for everything Dipra.
Very good professor, easy and interesting
Professor Jha is awesome. He is always telling us about cool things happening in the world of hospitality.
Dipra is by far the best professor I could imagine. He is extraordinarily interesting, intelligent, and personable. He is actually one of the most influential people I have ever had the opportunity of interacting with.
Dipra is such a personable professor. He gets to know you and tells you many stories, experiences and advice that will help students excel in their future. During our study abroad trip to Dubai, he showed us how networking can be crucial in our careers. UNL is very lucky to have him.
Dipra goes above and beyond to help his students. The Dubai study tour demonstrated the commitment Dipra has to the education of his students. Throughout our trip he taught and showed the value of networking and the true meaning of hospitality. Dipra is an inspired and dedicated educator who always has the best interests of his students at heart
HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking a study tour with Dipra! He's well traveled and experienced in the Hospitality industry! He is really easy to get along with and plans a great schedule for activities to do. Equal parts of fun and education! UNL HRTM is lucky to have such a great professor!!
I have never been giving such a great opportunity to network and learn about the future of hospitality and tourism. I would recommend going on a study tour out of the country to anyone - especially if it is in the U.A.E. I had the trip of a lifetime and I have no one else to thank the most than Dipra.
Awesome teacher. Loved going to his class.
Great guy!
He has a lot of real world experience and you can tell he loves what he does. He also will help his students succeed.
Pretty straight-forward class.
I thought this class was very beneficial.
This class is a great check before heading out into the real world! You complete in depth case studies that get you thinking.
Such a great professor. Someone I look up to. One of the best in hospitality at UNL.
Dipra is one of the coolest teachers I've ever had! He is really knowledgeable and passionate about the industry and the materials he teaches. He makes learning fun by incorporating videos into lectures. The tests were online which gave me lots of flexibility. Overall, great teacher and I 100% recommend taking a class with him!
Professor Dipra has many useful and interesting experience.
Dipra is a true mentor to all his students and really knows what he is talking about. With LOTS of connections around the world, this would be the guy to get to know. Not many assignments and not too difficult if you pay attention and show up.
Dipra is the most inspirational professor in HRTM.
Dipra is one of my favorite professors I've had in college. Even though this class was at 8 a.m., he kept me intrigued the entire time.
I liked how Dipra would show us pictures of where he had been and traveled to. Makes the class more interesting. Also liked the fact that he discussed past experiences.
Awesome teacher, interested in his students, very helpful
Very knowledgeable of industry and brings interesting experiences to class.
This class helped me learned a lot about the hospitality industry which was pretty cool.
His assignments are simple and the class is easy
Class was exploratory in the HRTM field. Lectures were good and mostly always interesting.
I found this class very entertaining. I was excited to start this class off this semester and you made it very interesting. I was always interesting during the lectures and presenters.
Great teacher! Very knowledgeable in the field.
I have had Dipra for a few of my classes and he is fantastic. He is entertaining to listen to, especially for 8am classes. He has a lot of knowledge and experience and I love that he shares so much of that with us.
He gives you first hand examples about what to expect in the industry, is very experienced in HRTM, and makes lectures entertaining. He understands you are busy and gives a reasonable work load. He is willing to help students with their resume, will answer any questions you have, and cares about his each individual.
Easy class. Not enough structure.
Easy class but not much direction. Sometimes felt offended about some comments. For instance if we didn't know something as soon as he asked we shouldn't graduate? Don't get me wrong I like him as a teacher but he wasn't the greatest every class.
Dipra is an amazing professor! Definitely has assisted me in developing my skills and knowledge in the Hospitality Industry.
Dipra is a fantastic teacher who is dedicated to his students and extremely passionate about the class and his work. I love how he uses his own real life examples to give provide scenarios and apply the subject material. He is my favorite professor here at UNL and he has made a tremendously positive impact on my education experience.
I love Dipra! Always willing to help and help us succeed!
He loves what he does, but a lot of the class time was just spent on talking about hotels. I didn't learn anything from the textbook we were required to buy but didn't use at all. The class was super easy, you have to try to fail to fail.
He is easy going and so much fun!
Dipra is an amazing professor! He doesnt require the mindless busy work that won't be used later in life. He really knows how to get his students involved and helps them learn through experience!
He was clear on grading the criteria, he's there for his students, and I would recommend this to other hospitality students.
Easiest class ever, only 3 assignments.
Awesome class awesome professor! easy if you are wanting to look into hotels for your HRTM major
Very helpful, not too difficult of a class.
This class was super easy. The hardest thing was waking up for the 8am class. It was also an interesting class, we learned a lot about different kinds of hotels. I felt like he was bias toward luxurious hotels, but that is he's specially. I only used the book when I took the online tests.
I love Dipra. He makes class enjoyable. The lectures did not seem long because he made it interesting. I liked how applicable the lessons are. The tests are online and open book, and you don't have class the day of the test: Super helpful! Dipra got me excited to get out into the real world and start working. I would recommend this class!
Very great professor. I really enjoyed having him. He is always willing to meet outside of class and help with anything you need. By far my favorite.
Professor Dipra has been my teacher for a number of classes. Let me give anyone reading a piece of advice: You will learn the most relevant lessons, relating to the hospitality industry, simply through Dipra's discussions
It opened my eyes to all of the opportunities that I will have in this career and helped me gain more connections.
This class was a lot of fun! Dipra is a great teacher and really hoping I have him again in the future!!
I liked how he had actually professions in the particular degree to come and talk about what they do. It gave us an idea of what they do and what it's like.
I like taking the class, it was very interesting. It was fun to learn about the different things you can do with a Hospitality major.
I got a lot of helpful information out of the class and it helped me decide which direction I want to go in to further my career in the Hospitality industry. It also helped me to gain a lot of connections within the local hospitality industry to further my career.
Dipra is a funny and relatable teacher. I would take this class again. No tests, just three assignments and speakers. Usually got out early
This class helped me learn a lot of what the hospitality industry is all about and it was really cool to hear about real world experiences in the industry.
Do all your homework!
Professor Jha was very professional and gave informational lectures.
Professor Jha tries to have guest speakers that have all different kinds of background in the hospitality industry. He was always good about giving reminders about the different projects that you have coming up and always sent out an email at the beginning of the week to discuss what you would be doing that week. He was enjoyable to listen to.
Great professor, HRTM 479 is not your usual lecture/powerpoint. Really makes you aware of society and hospitality world
Fairly easy, informative, great intro class for the HRTM major. Make sure you show up and follow directions for assignments in the syllabus; but as long as you do that, you should get an A.
Professor Jha was a great professor. His lectures sometimes seem a little long but he has plenty of experiences to share which makes them interesting. The class was very easy but you still learn a lot. I would definitely recommend this class or any other class with Dipra.
Loved the class and the professor
Dipra is very talented and highly respected in his field. His lectures are very personal and interesting. EXCELLENT public speaker who gets his audience engaged and keeps them interested. Learned a lot from his knowledge of the hospitality industry.
I love love love Dipra! He always works with students if they're having troubles, and he is very understanding! For this class, you have to write 8 page case studies, but they're super easy. He likes them formatted a certain way, and if you follow the guidelines, you'll be fine! He is great to talk with and puts the students first. Busy guy!
This is a non-traditional class and is the capstone for HRTM students. You are required to have 3 books but only really need the case manual and bankable business plans. Dipra is such a great professor. He always has experiences to share and is a great network to have. There is a final project. My advice: start early & get it done.
Advanced Lodging is a fairly easy course. There are discussion posts and cases studies, as well as one project (not hard at all). Because it was an online course I was able to use my notes and the book on the tests. I honestly only ever opened the book for my project and for tests. You do have to put a fair amount of effort into the case studies.
He's part of my top 3 influences in my college career. He helped me see how the hospitality industry works. He always keeps his students updated on what's going on in the hospitality industry through social media. Not only is he an awesome teacher, he's alot of fun as well.
Dipra is such a great teacher. This class was great because it was mainly discussion based. It was nice to put everything I have learned over the years into case studies and my final business plan. I'm going to miss Dipra and his stories, humor, and care that he shares with the students.
Taught me a great deal about hospitality law. Was extremely interesting and was an engaging class.
Professor Jha is a wonderful teacher! Everything that is taught is worthwhile for your career in hospitality. He is a great teacher to get connected with because he has networks all across the world! He has won multiple awards for his excellence in teaching, and it is definitely deserved!
Even though there's alot of reading for this class, it doesn't make it any less easy than some people might think. You'll still learn alot from this class.
I always appreciate specifics so I liked the breakfast tray comparisons or the shoe shine example. The more specific the advice, the more helpful it was.
Amazing professor, he really interacts and engages with this student. I know that he is extremely business, but I would have loved to take more of his classes in the classroom rather than online. I cannot say enough about him, take his classes!!! He provides student with great opportunities to learn, and is so knowledgeable about the industry!
Fun class
Every week there is an assignment due on Friday, super easy. The PowerPoint are helpful, didn't use the book once. Basically do the assignments and put some thought into them, you will pass. Would definitely recommend this class. Dipra is always traveling somewhere, but gets things graded in an orderly fashion.
The lectures may be long, but every bit of information is useful and counts.
Great professor, easily relates the class to the real world by sharing his experiences and news from the real world.
Easy class taught by a very knowledgeable and passionate instructor. He knows his stuff!
Great teacher! Is away from class due to traveling but is a good all around person! Lots of experience in this field!
Good blend of in class learning and online homework.
Dipra is very inspirational and motivating. He has great insights and knowledge on trends and current issues. He is a great professor to talk with and gain feedback from. I wish I would have taken more classes from him.
Very good class overall
One of the Best Professors I have ever had!! I love to take classes from him because he is so helpful not only with class activities/homework but outside of that also. He is the true definition of Hospitality!! Great guy!
Dipra is an amazing teacher. He really knows a lot about everything he teaches and can always bring in real world examples into the class. The workload wasn't bad which was really nice, compared to other professors. I will definitely be taking more classes from him.
Professor Jha teaches all of his students to look past the average hospitality goals we may have an strive for a "Wow" factor. His demeanor, dress, and lecture style are consistent to the message he gives of excellence, excellence, excellence.
He is a very helpful and personal professor. The class is very participation oriented class , he asks lots of questions and expects everyone to participate and respond.
Loved Dipra's class. He is a great professor. He really encompasses what it means to be in hospitality. He is someone you not only want as a professor, but someone you also want in your contacts. I would definitely recommend!
this class was awesome. I took this class as a part of my study abroad experience and Dipra was very helpful throughout the entire process. The trip itself was an amazing experience and Dipra made it even more amazing. His knowledge of the country and hospitality taught me so much on this trip.
If you have a chance to do a study abroad with Dipra, Definitely do it!! He will teach you so much, and not to mention will really take care of you. You stay in the best hotels, eat the best food. You experience the culture in a whole new way.
I went to India with the professor for this class. He did a great job of making sure that we had all the information that we needed and that we were ready for each day of touring.
Went on a study tour with Dipra over spring break and it was the most incredible experience I have ever had! Dipra is heavily involved in the Hospitality industry and knows so many people, so we got to do some very special things on our trip that most tourist or students don't get to do! Plus he is a great resource and teacher! 110% recommend!
Extremely knowledgeable about the Hospitality industry! A great connection to have for future purposes.
This study tour was really well planned out and super fun. We all learned so much!
Dipra has so many valuable connections in and outside of the University as well as the United States. He is very detailed oriented and ensures things to go perfectly and time is used most efficiently. With going abroad it is hard to fit everything in in such a short amount of time. I wish simply had more time to network!
Professor Jha was on of my favorite professors throughout my college career. He is so helpful and really wants you to succeed. I enjoyed every class I took from him.
Professor Jha goes out of his way to ensure the success of his students. You can tell he wants you to succeed and does everything in his power to help you get there. Amazing Professor.
Very respected within industry. Very knowledgable
Dipra is one of the best professors I have ever had while attending UNL. He knows about the subject matter he teaches and is always excited to share his knowledge with the students. The way he teaches makes it easy to attend class and to participate. He is not heavy on lectures, which makes it easier to focus and remain attentive in class.
Dipra is awesome and I have had him as a professor for many classes over my four years here. I always look forward to having him as a professor and his insights and experiences from traveling all over the place being a great perspective into the classroom and for great discussion in the classroom. Take his classes, you wont regret it!!
Dipra is easy to work with, and has a lot of knowledge and experience in the hospitality field.
This class was great. We talked about the hospitality industry and really got to discuss how it was changing. We also had a of discussions about important topics within our industry. It was a great class to end on. Also we had no test so that was really nice.
Dipra is an all-around great professor. Learning any new material from him is easy since he engages the class and almost always has real life examples to go with his lectures.
Great professor, super nice and great to listen to. Attendance is required as part of the department requirements, but despite that its a great class with a pretty easy A.
Great professor as a whole. Great guy.
Great professor, he really knows what he's talking about. Super well-respected in the hospitality industry
One of the best professors I have ever met or had. His network is huge, and he is extremely passionate about his job and helping students find their niche in the hospitality industry.
Super enthusiastic and fun. Takes interest in each student and cares about our future.
This study abroad experience will one that I will never forget and Dipra did a great job planning the trip and making it exciting while we were there. He made sure everyone enjoyed their time there and was excited for all of the activities.
Dipra is my favorite professor. He doesn't lead a class that takes up all your time, but he leads a class where due dates are important and responsibility is a must. I would pick Prof. Dipra Jha over any professor at UNL.
Prof. Dipra Jha is one of the most respected instructors on campus. His will, determination, and investment in insuring students have the tools to succeed is unparalleled. While I am not a Hospitality Major, he has gone out of his way every time to make sure I am prepared for the next task. Words can not describe the significance of this professor.
I went on the Oman and UAE study tour and it was amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the hospitality field wanting to experience luxurious hospitality. Dipra does a great job setting up a very informative and once in a life time trip.
Seriously one of the best teachers I've ever had! Will definitely have a lot of fun in class!
The Oman and UAE study tour was an amazing opportunity to interact with Dipra Jha and talk to him about his experiences and knowledge of these countries. We were able to see numerous luxury aspects of hospitality and Dipra was right there the entire time to talk about the possibilities in the industry.
Dipra is one of the best professors to learn from. He has a worldly perspective and is a true expert in Hospitality. It has been a privilege to be his student!
Attendance mandatory but allowed several skips. Amazing professor. Very respected in the hospitality industry and has great experiences and stories to share with the class. Highly recommend taking any course of his. On-line courses are typically very easy but lectures are incredibly interesting if course is offered in class.
Dipra is an excellent professor. He is very involved in the hospitality industry, and the lectures and discussion that he provides shows it. His experience in the industry and around the world are great to learn from. This class in particular offers great guest speakers, intellectually stimulating assignments, and an extremely useful final project.
Dipra led the study tour I attended through the hospitality program. His knowledge and expertise in the industry taught us well throughout our time in the foreign country. He has made excellent connections and relationships with hospitality professionals around the world, who were great to visit and learn from.
The reading is easy and actually very interesting. There were no test or quizzes but a couple research/interview papers. I would definitely recommend this class with Professor Jha he sends frequent reminders which are helpful when taking the class online.
The London and Ireland study abroad experience was amazing!!!! I wouldn't of wanted to do it with any other professors at UNL. If you ever get the chance to go on a trip, do it! You will not regret it!!!
Classes with Dipra are always something I look forward to. He is incredibly insightful, knowledgeable, and is always available for guidance, career advice, he is a powerful advocate for students, and always offers to be a job reference. Traveling with Dipra in this class is something I would do again in a heartbeat and reccomend to all.
Traveling with Dipra is a must! This trip was one of the best and most memorable experiences I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable in the hospitality and tourism industry. The things you get to do and see on this trip are probably things you wouldn't do on your own. Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend!
I had Dipra for a study abroad tour. He is well traveled, has good connections, and is a great professor in the classroom too.
I took a study abroad experience with Dipra and I loved every minute of the trip! He was super knowledgeable and very experienced. He made the trip very enjoyable and really cared about the industry and the students. Would definetly recommend taking a class with him and travel with him if given the chance!
Great professor, love the class!
Professor Jha is by far the best professor I have ever had at UNL. He has a lot of knowledge about the Lodging Industry and makes the class engaging with real-world examples. We got to collaborate with students in Oman and Dubai through an online virtual classroom setting; coolest classroom experience ever. I learned a lot and loved this class.
A great professor who definitely shows his passion for hotels through this course. Even if you are not considering going into the hotel industry, this class is very interesting. Definitely take this class if you get the chance.
Love Dipra! He is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge and he really cares for his students' success.
Professor Dipra truly has so much experience in the field and strives to bring this aspect to class. His network is HUGE. Starting this semester he has set an COIL project, which is essentially classes connecting to other countries. Our class was able to have honest, in depth conversations about the life, culture, and industry of Dubai and Oman.
This was my second course I took with Professor Jha and thoroughly have enjoyed his classes! It's easy to tell he is extremely passionate about his work and is happy to be in class each day. The COIL project we participated in was interesting and something every UNL student should experience. I absolutely recommend taking any class with Dipra Jha
Dipra has SO much knowledge and experience relating to the hospitality industry. He teaches by referring to personal experiences and sharing stories of his own work, which makes his classes so much more interesting.
He's a fantastic professor and is very knowledgeable in the field of hospitality, specifically lodging. I highly recommend taking any classes with him, especially any study abroad trips. He truly cares about his students and want them all to succeed after graduation.
Dipra is one of the most interesting professors I have ever had. He has great connections, stories and insights about the hotel and lodging industry. You'd be hard pressed to find someone more knowledgeable about the industry than Dipra. His lectures are fun, interesting and insightful.
Dipra was a great teacher for intro to lodging. He makes the class interesting and invites our own personal experiences as well as experiences from those in the industry. The COIL project is worth the work and I highly suggest taking an active part in it!
Professor Dipra Jha is the best professor I have ever had. He is very passionate about the Hospitality program but especially lodging/hotels. He will share the amazing experiences that he has had as a professional and a guest. He is an easier grader, as long as you follow the outlined requirements. I recommend taking at least one class with him.
Professor Jha is the best professor I have had in college so far. I learned so much, and he has so many connections with speakers he had present for us. He always makes class interesting, and he is a reasonable grader.
Professor Jha has been one of my favorite Professors at UNL. He makes class enjoyable and the homework and projects have shaped me into a better student and I will apply all knowledge and material to my future in the hospitality and tourism industry. This class was highly beneficial for my learning and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Dipra knows what he is talking about but does not overcomplicate things. He is not worried about grading tough, he is mostly concerned with making sure you know your stuff. Great professor and very knowledgeable. He encourages you to think outside the box and grades based on your creativity and ingenuity.
Lodging w/ Professor Dipra is an AMAZING class! Most of the classes are COIL, so if you attend and listen to the presentations- you'll do great! There are no tests, and the grades are mainly participation based. There are a few other assignments, but grading is lenient. You'll leave this class with great new resume material too- if you participate!
Always talks about his experience in the industry and is really inspiring. He loves what he does and it shows.
Dipra cares about whether or not you take something away from the class, not necessarily about the grade, so as long as you show up to class, be engaged, and put some effort into the assignments, you will get an easy A! Not only that, but I thought his lectures were very interesting, as he tied many of his personal experiences to them!
Highly recommend taking any class you can with Professor Jha! He is my favorite! He's traveled to the coolest hotels and has taught us so much that we can apply to our future careers whether you're a hospitality major or not. You have the opportunity to learn from hospitality institutes across the world, which is really neat! Easy but great class!!
I loved this class and I learned a lot
Professor Jha is the best! He's an expert in the lodging industry and has various assignments that are insightful and fun. His projects are applicable but not too difficult. The best part of his class is that you get to communicate with other cultures via Zoom & learn a lot about the hospitality industry around the world. 10/10! Loved this class.
I loved taking this class! Professor Dipra made the lectures interesting by incorporating real examples and learning about different cultures. You get out of this class what you put into it. This class inspired me to travel the world using the knowledge I have learned. I would take this class again!
Professor Jha is amazing! If you have the opportunity to take a class with him definitely take it. He is looking to expand the idea of online classes and allow for different types of online class learning experience. Definitely one of my favorite UNL professors.
He was a wonderful professor. Whenever I had questions he replied quickly and with helpful answers. He was always very positive in class and is so passionate about the lodging industry!

Dipra is amazing! This online course is graded based off weekly discussion posts and one paper.
Professor Jha has been one of the best and most helpful professors I've met so far in college. He cares about his students outside of the classroom and always wants them to do well.
Professor Jha's Advanced Lodging is an online class. There are very few assignments, so as long as you do them & communicate with Professor Jha-it is an easy A. We also watch really interesting documentaries about luxury hotels around the world. It's a class worth taking if Professor Jha is teaching.
Highly recommend taking HRTM 485 with Professor Jha! He does a great job of communicating with the class weekly, and he is always willing to help when you have questions. You get to watch some really neat videos on the behind the scenes of major hotels and discuss with classmates!!

Dipra is the best professor I have had at Washington State so far. He truly cares about all of his students and wants everyone to succeed. With Covid, I was worried that I would not look forward to online classes, but I looked forward to his class every week. He is an amazing professor and I guarantee everyone who took his class would say the same
