Super easy lectures straight from the book which made exams very easy to prepare for. Very friendly Prof!

Very clear lectures, high expectations, hard marker concerning papers, but exam is exactly what she says it is. Tough, but clear. wouldnt recommend her if your expecting to boost your grade, unless you really want to bust your ass in the class.

Definately high expectations for the class & a tough marker on papers. Though she's willing to edit papers - just be sure to ask alot of specific questions like if you've met the objectives or if you should build on sections. Exam has alot of information to prepare but she tells you the questions.

very nice and helpful. Knowledgeable.

Very well spoken & organized prof.No need to buy text.She gives each exam question prior to the lecture it corresponds with.She is willing to help with essays before hand,ask questions though.Kim the TA is awesome help! Very easy class ecspecially if youve taken soci of family and developmental psyc

She is a very HOT professor, in fact the hottest that I've had in psychology. A lot of the guys in the class are very attracted to her!She's also very clear and concise and a very nice person.

Other people who took this class with another prof claimed it was an easy class. However I found this prof to be a very tough marker, and the final exam was brutal. She DOES explain things clearly and gives great exam hints. But the midterms were also just as much work as the exam, but worth hardly anything! Overall, I was not impressed!

Great prof. Very well organized, speaks clearly, follows slides. She's always willing to help when approached, midterms and exams can be tough, but theres no surprises, its always based on what shes taught! Really enjoy her courses!

Looks evil and stuck up but she really isn't. To my surprise she was very approachable. I took her class in the summer and it was good. Her exams were fair and she will boost marks when needed. she is also organized and will explain everything well.

Kavita is a great professor! It's true, she does want to see her students do well in her classes. She is very helpful and understanding. I have taken a few classes with her and I hope to take at least one more before I graduate. Excellent, excellent professor! Take her courses!!!

Anyone being harsh when rating Kavita has obviously not been attending classes. She does rely on the book alot, but she adds quite a few research articles to the lecture, so if you do not attend class you miss the information. To then complain about being tested on information you missed is crazy. Kavita is organized, smart, intersting and fair.

Professor Prakash is great. She will always clarify something if you don't understand. People may not have done as well on the midterm as expected, but she did raise the marks (about 6 or 7% for most people) and gave us an opportunity to raise our marks with a bonus assignment. Have her for social development next semester and looking forward to it

I am not sure why people are being so harsh with Kavita. She is a very organized prof who answers emails right away and is always willing to help. If she misses classes, she gets a replacement. What's the big deal? People complained in this class because the material was harder and they expect grades handed to them. It is a 3rd year class!

Had her for 3 classes so far. First class was really difficult, especially for something I already had a background in and found the class to be unfair (PSYC2500). Both other classes were well taught and very good (PSYC 3507 and 2001) Would definately take another class with her!!!

This class was amazing. Kavita explained things really well and made it so interesting. I have never learmed so much in a course. Yes, you have to really work for your grade, but it is 3rd year. I would take every course with her if I could.

I am not sure if the other raters are talking about the same person! Kavita is amazing. She explains things really well, is enthusiastic and knows her stuff! I LOVED this class. You have to really work for your grade, but she helps you when you need it. I highly recommend you take this course with her.

I had Kavita for Psyc 2001, 2500 and 2600. In each course she was away for at least 1 lecture, which I cannot complain about! In her summer courses she skips a few chapters which is great! She never lectures for the full 3 hours (an hour and a half - 2 hours is typical lecture length) Dont skip class and you will do great! Awesome prof!

I took developmental with her and liked her but in social development, she let her TA mark the papers and he was horrible! But she herself is a good professor and goes at a slow pace. she gives you hints to questions that are going to be on the exam and exactly how she wants them answered so you can't go wrong there.

I am currently in this class with Dr.Prakash and I love it!!! She is alot of fun, explains things really well and is very understanding. You have to meet deadlines in this class or there is a penalty, but at least she is fair about it and applies the deadline to everyone. She gives exam questions in advance and lots of hints!

Amazing Proff, Yes you have to work for your grade, but its pretty hard to do bad if you attend the lectures. NO TEXTBOOK! All exam questions are given ahead of time, how much easier can it get?! Kavita is a really nice lady and is prompt with answering questions.. the TA's were a little unfair but they are reasonable in reviewing grades.

The last rater was crazy! Professors should not be expected to work 24/7. She was stuck in traffic one day and gave us an extension on our assignment. She IS a hard marker but is upfront about it and gives you everything you need to do well. Her research is on shyness but she also talked about bullying, self esteem etc. A GREAT CLASS/PROF!!

She is very intelligent and knows what she is talking about. Her class is difficult, but if you ask questions she'll know the answer. A "by the book" kind of prof. Stays on topic and is professional. I'd take her again.

Just to clarify, the last rater must have this professor mixed up with someone else. She has not taught Psychology 2100 in years.

This was an excellent class. Kavita was clear and concise, and went at the perfect pace to write everything down. Midterms and exams were fair; if you attended every class and put in a couple of days study for the final you could get a great mark. Completely reccommend it.

For a summer course, I really appreciated that she let us leave (mostly) 1.5-2 hours in instead of going the full 3. The subject matter was easy and she was very clear. However, her assignments are painfully precise and you can lose points for very small things. And her exams are relatively easy but VERY repetitive. Easy enough class though.

I don't like the course itself but she does a great job of making it bearable. Amazing professor.

She managed to make 3 hour lectures bearable, and was very helpful as she related the topics we learned to real life. I hardly had to refer to the text book since her lectures were so clear and informative. Amazing prof!

Amazing prof! Very clear, informative. Right to the point, most days ended lecture early. Very fair. tests were multiple choice.. Would def take her class again!

I really enjoyed Kavita's class, she was good at keeping things interesting and I felt like her class always flew by.

really good prof, would be nice if she used the mic but still had a pretty loud voice. her slides were really good short and sweet but she would give you everything you needed during the lecture to cover the material. her exams were really easy

Kavita's class was my favourite class this semester. Her grading criteria is clear to what she expects and she's willing to answer any questions you may have. Her experience within the field made the class that much more interesting. Definitely take sports psychology with her!

Very blunt prof. You need to check your ego at the door and not take any of her seemingly discouraging criticism personally. This class is stressful, challenging and the blogs SUCK but really help you stay on track. She tells you exactly what she wants, so read her feedback carefully and don't be afraid to ask questions. Shes very approachable.

The people rating her low because the class is too difficult just lack self-efficacy. If you enjoy psych this class is a great because you get to conduct a lit review on whatever topic you're interested in. The professors role in this course is simply to help guide the student through the research process and Kavita was super helpful with this.

Kavita is one of the only profs that makes you do blogs and other draft assignments for you project. This is very helpful since you get all the feedback you need and have a second chance to improve before submitting you research project. She may seem intimidating, but she just wants everyone to push themselves to succeed.

Kavita is an awesome professor. Before starting this class, I was extremely nervous and didn't know what to expect. Kavita laid out exactly what she's looking for in every assignment and gave well thought out feedback. As far as I know, she is the only prof that allows you to submit drafts for the intro and body of the paper which is super helpful.

One of the best professors I've had at Carleton! She is organized, teaches important writing skills with clear grading criteria, and genuinely cares about her students. Highly recommend taking her class!

Kavita is an awesome prof, I think that all of her poor ratings are just people who dropped the course because it is hard. This is a capstone course, it is supposed to be difficult. Kavita gives amazing feedback, with lots of improvement opportunity, if you just make the revisions and do what she says to do, you will get a good grade. She's great!

I see that previous evaluators had problems with the difficulty level of the course. But this is the honours project course and the standards are definitely higher, as they should be. This course will challenge you but Kavita provides you with all the information that you need to succeed. Once I paid attention to details, I started to excel.

It is interesting how students are complaining about how the Professor does not accommodate easily.I appreciate that she does not give any students an unfair advantage.This course IS hard and you must follow her requirements, but welcome to writing an Honours level research paper! If you want to learn how to write a strong paper,take her class!!!

Best prof ever! Always available for questions. do not take if you cannot work hard

This course is tough, but Dr. Prakash gives you everything you need to succeed. Students are shown step-by-step how to create their paper for this class. LOTS of examples and feedback are provided. She is quick to reply to questions and very quick to return graded work. I have learned so much from her. Work hard and you will do great.

Dr. Prakash is an expert in the field of sport psychology and provides helpful anecdotes and interesting videos to illustrate the content. As a strong writer and as someone who attended all classes, I did well in the class. However, those who do not have strong writing skills and do not pay very close attention to the lectures will struggle.

She's a tough grader but her feedback is super clear so if you correct your errors, a high grade is easy. Gives weekly feedback before the final product is due which relieves a lot of stress for students. Replies to emails almost instantly. This class is hard no matter who you take it with, but she's the only prof who provides weekly feedback.

On the very first day of class, this professor CLEARLY explains the course, all the expectations, how to succeed and that you will struggle at first. There is regular feedback to help you improve, samples to follow and recorded lectures. Students complain only when they do not follow her instructions. Follow the instructions and feedback!

This course is tough but you learn alot!Dr. Prakash warns you that it is a tough start to the course but she give weekly assignments (1% each) to help you get on track and adjust your process.Focus on what the feedback is and how you can adjust your research process.Then,by the time you get to assignments worth more you excel!Highly recommend her!

I'm happy I took Kavita's section for the honours project. While the assignments seemed never-ending in the 1st semester, she prepared us in a way other students didn't. Feedback can seem harsh, but it's constructive. Overall, I love her course structure. The 2nd semester was a breeze.
