She's very caring and starts every class by asking us to share good news. She wants class to be fun and a safe environment and is good at explaining material. She understands stress and tries to give more time on weekly assignments on weeks we have quizzes. She cares about your feedback and if you follow rubrics you will get good grades.

I LOVE Prof. Parikh so much. She's so caring and her video lectures are amazing. She does an incredible job of explaining herself and everything online so I'm assuming the in person version of this class will be even more amazing. She genuinely cares about your grade and well-being. Her tests/quizzes/assignments are not difficult, just study a bit.

Dr. Parikh is a great professor, and she really wants her students to do well. This is not a difficult class as long as you attend class and watch the video lectures she posts online. She gives you time to work on the assignments in class and ask questions if you have any. Great class, but beware the final was extremely difficult for no reason.

Attendance isn't mandatory and is done on PollEv, and there is a midterm and a final that are both open-note and moderate.

Dr. Parikh is great. She teaches about the things that matter. It wasn't that hard of a class considering it was a stat class. I wouldn't say it should really be a psychology class, though. Either a stats or maybe ethics class, but it wasn't psych heavy at all. The software was super easy to use.
