She's very passionate about government and why things the way they are, but her class is extremely BORING. She reads straight off the power points of REALLY LONG paragraphs and you're just like... Kill me. She's posts all the power points on D2L, but didn't really follow the syllabus or had one to my knowledge. Her class is an easy A.

Although she is a really sweet, I feel like she doesn't really know how to teach. She reads straight off of the powerpoint and doesn't really explain much, and also waists a lot of time. Aside from that she also makes very confusing papers, and she gives a study guide but half of the exam is something that is not mentioned in the study guide.

With Mrs. Dasgupta she does grade by a few things, but she does care about if you pass the class or not. She's a total sweetheart, With the textbook you will need it, but for the crosswords that she does. Notes just copy the powerpoints and the stuff she writes on the board, and you'll do just fine

She will tell you that you don't need the text book as long as you read the pwerpoint and then mid semester tell you that you need the book.

Overall, she is a good professor that cares about her classes & their grades. She's been going out of her way in sorts to help bring up our grades if we aren't doing good on the tests. She does tons of participation group work, and sometimes her reviews are easier than her tests. The tests are worded weirdly, definitely recommend reading the book.

I didn't really learn anything in this class, she was all over the place. She'll google articles when we should've been going over the power point. Difficult to understand the essays we had to write.

Professor Dasgupta is a nice professor. However, be ready to only learn by powerpoint lecture. She gave easy daily activities like puzzles and word search, but how come we all got 80's for EASY assignments? Also, in all my other classes I made 100's on essays, on the project and essay for this class both were 90's. Easy class, yet still no A.

Took her online federal government class due to COVID-19. She was good, it was a bit confusing because she did not have a full on syllabus with the weeks broken down. She just kind of assigned work whenever. Two major projects at the end of the semester, and her quizzes were exact copies of her Q&A review sheets. Good professor overall.

Decent professor. However, a strict "no-phones | no-technology" rule in her classroom. "Strange because I'm paying to take the course and we are adults..." Tests and assignments are VERY poorly designed. No emotion or passion in lectures. Overall not a BAD professor, but many others are definitely better options.
