Can barely understand him when he speaks, doesn't really teach you anything that you can't read of the powerpoint slides. Google is more helpful than the teacher. I would not recommend Sharma at all. And he makes the quizzes for random times of the day, and doesn't alert you when they begin or end. Not very consistent with them either.

no use in going to class. very hard to understand what he was saying. test are hard

This was absolutely the worst teacher to take for this course. He was extremely hard to understand, his tests were very difficult, and he seemed unwilling to help at all. The final is comprehensive, 22 chapters long, and he won't give you a study guide. Just go ahead and expect to lose a letter grade after the final.

Don't even bother showing up to the class. Everything is done online. He is absolutely no help if you have questions. He rarely replies to emails and doesn't have consistent office hours. If you can avoid it, DO NOT take his class unless you want to teach yourself.

Awful teacher. You don't have to go to class and still make a good grade. Taught myself the information. He gave a study guide for the final that made it easy.

Don't even bother going to class. His english is awful and he is extremely boring. You can do everything online on your own. This class may as well be considered an online class.

There is no point in actually going to his class. He puts all his power points on Blackboard and literally reads them over in class and doesn't go in depth with any of the chapters. The notes don't even correspond with his two midterms and final exam. I passed with a C only because I did all the LearnSmart assignments and they were easy 10 points.

Says he will give extra credit at the end, never did. Never took attendance. The final review was basically the exact final exam.

SOOO BORING!!!!! I hated that class like no other. All he did was read from the powerpoint nothing about it was interesting, if you don't like biology don't him!! Only good thing is he doesn't take attendance so you don't have to sit through the boring lectures all the time but he gives a pop quiz every once in a while so...

So, I went to the first lecture and never went again because he does not speak good English and reads directly off the power-points. He uploads them to blackboard so no point in going. Homework is just learn smarts. NO quizzes. 3 exams; the first two are online(can do with a buddy). The final is in class.

Do not take his class if you aren't a biology major- maybe not even if you are! I had two bio major friends look at my coursework and they were shocked. So specific and such nit picky questions. It is such a boring online class and the material is so unclear. Stay away.

Literally terrible. Can't understand a single word he is saying. All he does is read off of the powerpoints so there's no point in going. Pop quizzes do show up every now and then. All of the homework is online on LearnSmart which you can just click the read more option to easily find the answer. I do not recommend taking his course.

He is the worst! He is so hard to understand and he is very intimidating. He lacks drive to help students, I emailed him once asking questions and he literally sent back "ok". Do not expect him to help you ever. He won't do anything.

He doesn't speak clear English and his lectures are straight off of his power points. I wouldn't recommend his class for anyone!

He was very hard to understand and he went very quickly. Tests would have information on them that we never learned in class.

I'm an online student with him. I've been trying to make sense of his inconsistent instructions via email for the last few days with no success. he either wont email back or his email doesn't address the issue and makes no sense. So i came here to see if anyone mentioned his English wasn't good. low and behold that's the number 1 complainant here.

Not a fan. Difficult to understand. Only took 3 grades and they were all exams.

I wouldn't recommend this class to my worst enemy. I emailed him about a PowerPoint in class and he didn't reply. He is not reachable outside of class. He is not very tech savvy at all. There are only three grades in the class so it basically sets you up for failure.

You cannot understand what he is saying half of the time. He is rude, does not respect his students, and contradicts himself half of the time. If you have this class without the lab, I would do all the work online instead of actually going to class, because it's easier to learn on your own.

Sharma is very hard to understand, and his class only consists of lectures. It is evident that English is not his first language. The only grades in his class are three tests. The test questions used are generally not covered in the material.

This class was the hardest class I took, the exams are not good and you only take three or four and that is your whole grade. I withdrew from the class so it wouldnt hurt my gpa. The other Biology classes (120 and 122) are better.

This guy is terrible. He has poor grammar in his powerpoints and in real life. He doenst try to elaborate, he doesnt make sure students are engaged/ following him. He will not answer questions in class. If its impossible for you to drop this class hire a tutor, MAKE SURE TO DO LEARNSMARTS, and pray. pray hard.

It is extremely difficult to understand Professor Sharma, I do not recommend anyone taking his class. He is very test heavy and lecture heavy. This class is graded only by 3 things. Dont try to email him because he will not respond.

Awful. Not worth your time. Everything, from the homework to powerpoints are from the book, but the tests are completely random facts from the book. Not what the book deems important.

I have him right now and it is so hard to understand him you might as well drop or switch to another professor. It is a complete waste of your time and I just took our first exam today and he gave everyone a study guide but NONE of the questions where on the test. Everyone failed it is clearly a sign that he CAN NOT TEACH!

Absolutely worst teacher I've ever had throughout all my years at WKU. You can't understand a single thing he says-- extremely heavy accent. The only reason I kept coming to class was because he would periodically have us write our names down (pop quiz as he calls it) and turn it in. I gave up attempting to understand his accent. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!

I do not recommend taking this class. His lecture style is not helpful. As far as a teacher goes, he is not worried about the students learning as much as he is getting through the massive amounts of information.

This class is terrible. Professor Sharma is difficult to understand, there is minimal feedback from him. He does not answer emails and his tests are very difficult. Nearly everyone in my class failed the first exam and only after we all failed did he offer to reach out with a zoom meeting. Only take this class if you plan on getting a C or less.

Extremely hard class. There are only 3 exams in this course, and this professor does not help what so ever when you are struggling. Do not recommend taking this class

Dr. Sharma is very difficult to understand and gives little to no feedback at all. Every class is straight lectures and theres only 3 tests all semester. The content is also very fast paced and difficult and Dr. Sharma gives no extra help outside the powerpoints.

There are 3 exams, classes are lecture heavy. He says study the 4, 50, slide PowerPoints for the exams if you want to pass. The first exam had an average of 70 percent, and instead of owning up to his poor teaching, he blamed it on the people who do not show up to his class, regularly, for lowering his class average. He is rude one on one.

Honestly, I have idea how this man still has a job. He's impossible to understand and he provides little to no help. He never replies to emails, which sucks if you're struggling. The best way to pass is by not attending his lectures, everything he says are on the powerpoints, and are easier to understand. He's rude and cannot admit to his mistakes.

This class was all in all a terrible experience. You can't understand a single word he says. I stopped showing up after the first few lectures, because all the material you learn in class is accessible through blackboard. He is non-negotiable and careless. I missed an assignment due to the passing of my father and I had to beg for an extension.

Horrible is the only thing I can say. He is difficult to understand and I basically had to teach myself everything. Even if you ask him a question you don't get a direct answer or a clear understanding and end up more confused. He walked out mid-lecture once too without saying anything then came back like 10 minutes later.

Do not take this class here. Take it as a summer class at community college. He does not offer any help nor can you understand him. The tests are absolutely nothing like the power points. Studying for 7 hours a day can hardly get you a C

If you take this class online.....DONT- it was horrible. I had an A all semester and then he made everyone take the final at a computer testing place off campus and i studied so hard for it just for none of it to be any of the material he gave. So in result i failed and went from an A+ to a C- and dropped my gpa. Absolutely disgusting

You do not learn anything in class that you couldn't learn by just reading the powerpoints. The exams are hard and you have to study everything from that unit or you'll definitely miss stuff. Study the powerpoints.

I would not suggest him as a teacher. He is so hard to understand, and his tests are hard. It was impossible to even get tutoring because everyone else was doing the same thing to pass. He is a nice person just not a great teacher. If you are better at teaching yourself through PowerPoints, then this would be your class. Otherwise do not take him.

Professor just uploads PowerPoints and then makes exams for them.

He is not nice by any means. I retook this class online and did ten times better than I did in person. If you take this online though be prepared for passive aggressive emails. He randomly changed one of the homework due dates even though they had been the same time all year. I asked him for grace to do that one assignment and he said I didn't care

Pt. 1 I felt bad for Sharma at first because everyone was making fun of his accent. I would stick up for this man because someone's nationality should not determine them as a professor but I was wrong. His thick Indian accent does make it hard to understand content. I wasn't retaining anything so I taught myself all of the material from my dorm.

The smartbook concept checks take you about 2-3 hours. I unfortunately overslept my final for this course. I take full responsibility for my actions but when I rushed to KTF to talk to him about what had happened he belittled me and called me unprofessional. He full-on laughed in my face. He is not a nice man. All I have to say is good luck

DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE!! His exams are NOT based on his slides. I earned an A in anatomy 1, so I know how to study, but there were so many questions that couldn't be found anywhere. When I asked him where the answers could be found, he said they're in the slides, but could not tell me where. He said, “I fear you do not read between the lines.”

You cannot understand him at all, his accent is very thick. A complete lecture class, nothing else is done in class. He doesn't take attendance. He reads straight off of a powerpoint. Exams are hard, unless you go to the pass sessions. Expects you to learn from 60 slide PowerPoints and will add an entire chapter to the exam 2 days before.

I am unsure how this professor is still a professor! His class was beyond hard and he told me had no time to assist me! He would not help me! Sad he was so hateful! Did not care about my success! Only 3 tests ! It's great if you know biology!

If you want to learn another language I highly suggest you take this class. Very hard to understand. Did not show up to any lectures because I could take the time to teach myself which was so much better than trying to focus on what he is saying rather than the content which he reads word form word on the slides.
