Yeah, she was nice buuuut she was tough. She was a little hard to understand sometimes because of her accent. The first class she gave us a fun assigment; after that it was all downhill. he makes you type up outlined notes of the text. This is not effective for every student. I'd say don't take her.

Dr. Wesley is a tough teacher. When you have a test, expect a paper and an outline to be due the same week as the test, which makes your life hell. She falls behind, so the schedule in the beginning of the semester is useless. Her grading is fair. She does care about her students.

Dr. Wesley is an extraordinary professor. The people that thinks she;s hard must not be dedicated to the class. She will go out of her way to help a student just DON'T TALK IN CLASS, and do your outlines and you will pass. The study guides she gives are exactly what's on the test. I loved her. I got an A. Her final is exactly what she says.

Makes you outline the material from the book before she lectures on it, turn it in then you get it back the next week. Maybe this is helpful for some students to learn, but for me was a waste of time. I know how to study; this is college, not grade school. I dropped the class because it actually interfered with my ability to learn the material.

Very unprofessional professor. Did not give full access to our material this semester and passed the responsibility to other students even tho she was the only one who could rectify the issue. I would never take this professors class again. Avoid at all costs. Unprofessional and irresponsible.

Professor Raj wasn't the best prof i've had for a psych class, but she does care about her students and I have learned so much in her class. I didn't do a big assignment in her class and she reached out to me and gave me more time, which I appreciated. The work load IS heavy, but honestly what college class isn't. I would definitely take her again.

Every week, you have discussion posts, and for each question, you need a minimum of 2 paragraphs to get a good grade. Essays are ridiculous, and she is barely accessible outside of class, and when she does answer you, she's pretty rude. Save yourself the time and the stress, don't take her.

tough grader, she will not explain any projects, essays, etc. in class ever. You'd have to make time OUTSIDE of class to go to her office hours or else she will reject your work. Participation counts too, she'll fail you if you don't participate in class. The group project is tough and she'll single you out any time of day.

Do these things to pass: Go to her office hours. Find the section of the topic in the book and reword the entire section and cite EVERYTHING. Bolden or highlight ONLY keywords. Discussions will look more like essays so YES, it is writing-intensive, but again, you're just rewriting everything out of the book so you don't hit plagiarism.

Regardless of the other rates given to Raj, she is such an amazing and inspiring teacher if you really work hard for your grade. Beginning of my semester was rough, but once I actually started taking the time to read the textbook (ITS A MUST FOR THIS CLASS) and budgeting my time for the assignments, it became my favorite class I have ever taken.

Raj is a very good professor and you will definitely learn a lot. Nevertheless, this course is not easy and you will have to work hard for your good grades and do your homework (which usually takes numerous hours) weekly. If you are just looking for a class where you can get good grades without a lot of work, don't choose Raj as your professor.

I loved this professor as a person, but the way she graded did not always feel fair. I was able to stay in the 80s until the midterm where she gave me a 10/25 just because of the amount of pages I wrote (6) but when I talked to one of my classmates he said he wrote 7 and got a 20/25. My grade became 61 and she said no one else wrote less than 10.

this professor was highly unprofessional in the way she spoke to her students. she spoke in a very condescending tone and berated students during class hours. she does have a strong concept of the class subject, but is does not have a presence to appropriately teach to a group of young adults. be aware if you take this class.

Instructions for assignments are not clear. Will ask for things " in your own words" but will then question why you had not used examples from the text.

Raj is a tough professor, but if you put in the work, you'll learn a lot. Lots of weekly assignments and essays, but unstuck study can help with prep. Avoid if you're just looking for an easy A.

Raj assigns crazy long readings each week and notes that if not done correctly, she tells you how badly you did (takes 8 hours). The 5 essay's midterm won't be graded unless you do all her assignments and even if you miss one, she will kick you out of class. Disrespectful but demands respect. If you want to teach yourself, go for it.

Initially, Raj seemed like a very kind, caring professor. That changed about a month into the semester when she lectured the class for 30 minutes about how we are taking notes wrong! If you don't do it her way, expect a poor grade. The midterm is a 15 page open-ended essay and you will be expected to give a 3hr presentation. Great person, bad prof

She is a nice person to talk to, but as a professor she is extremely unprofessional. She yelled at me once for 5 minutes because i had my textbook open when we were looking over material in the textbook..doesn't make sense i know. She assigns an insane amount of work with a short period of time to do it with no instructions either.

She's a very negative person. She does not grade fair. She will ask you for one thing and tell you that you're missing 27 things she never asked for. Then when you speak to her for clarity or help she talks as if she's above you and you are basically nothing without her. I would never take her class again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

She gives bad grades to students even though they are trying hard, while giving good grades to students using ai. I went to see her during office hours, and she said I needed to model my work after a certain student. I checked the students work and it came up 100% in ai detector while she told me I wasn't trying hard enough. Worst prof. I have had.

She has shown disrespect towards Black women and others when they show up as very confident and experienced. Unfortunately, she has discriminated against individuals with disabilities and mistreated older classmates. She has called students liars, told people to shut up, and sometimes yells at them.
