She is scatterbrained (loses work, forgets what she has and hasn't taught-then tests you on what she didn't teach) and is not very effective as a teacher (once curved an exam by multiplying all our grades by 3!!). Will most likely get an A or B w/ curves.
The test questions are totally different from examples you do in class. Good Luck.
She missed three classes in a class that meets only once a week.
The worst and most unfair teacher I ever had. Hated this class.
easy material. flakey proffesor...
She is a really bad professor, who never teaches anything nor return anything back. The exams we take are never taught in her class. I am very upset that the school will still have her here.
SHE TESTS ON STUFF THAT SHE HASN'T TAUGHT AND EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW IT ANYWAY! SHE GAVE A MAKE-UP EXAM FROM SPRING 1997 WHEN THIS IS SPRING 2004 AND WE'RE USING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TEXTBOOK.
Terrible terrible terrible. She just does not care. No response to questions, no replys to calls or emails. AVOID, although nearly impossible.
I have only had this class 2 times and hate her. Knows the stuff well but cant teach her way out of a paper bag. doesn't prepare for class, just picks one prob, does it and expects you to then do 5 on your own. Wish i could use bad words to describe her!
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. she is the first one to run out of the class everyday, when you go to her office she doesnt even let you in the door. WORST PROFESSOR EVER
I gotta take her again for 441?!?! If she hates teaching and hates working at WCU, why doesnt she JUST RESIGN?
I'll be taking her class in SP of 2005. I must admit I'm AFRAID to have her as my Prof. I'm concerned that WCU is keeping her here if she doesn't truly care about teaching us. What kind of a Prof is this? Obviously not a good one. If she doesn't change soon, don't expect my Prof Eval to be positive
Absolutely worthless. I cannot believe she is still allowed to teach here. I had aspirations in the field, but after taking her class, I am appalled and disgusted that there is a fraud like this prof teaching the material. Worst professer EVER. For the sake of education and justice,fire this woman.
Thought this class'd be close to EZ. God was I wrong! Tests: nothing like the assignmnts & she refused to review for the 1st test. I'm at the point where I want to die from taking this course. I enrolled for Summer 1 just in case if I fail. Hope not cuz I'll be stuck with her again. I'm very scared!
Okay...I just found out I have to take this prof again for MGT441 in FA '05. What's up w/that?! Now I'll have a total of 8.5 months w/this broad. Sing fat lady, sing! FYI: Prof. S is purposely failing us to line her own pockets. That's why her tests are impossible to pass. She's plotting against us!
ok. Got my 2nd test back and...She missed marking my 1st Q. Gave me 30/50. So, I had to go up 2 her office & show her where my answer was on my sprdsheet. She's so blind! I had PROBLEM 1 written @ the top of my exam I handed in. I'd hate to know how she'll grade 4 the final. She's sooo out there!?
She's not that bad if you show up to class and pay attention. If you don't understand something - ask a question... most people don't participate or ask questions (because they're busy surfing the internet), and then wonder why they don't understand what's going on. If she likes you - you'll pass!
Ok, I weathered 4.5 months w/her now. Not a bad prof but you have to study like hell for her tests. They'll look totally foreign...but there's a flip side: you can work with people to do the tests! She doesn't like it but then again, she doesn't care. Not too much HW in this course either.
ok hardest final of my life... no exxageration... the test was nothing like anything we learned
Evil. Copied all work to diskette - studied endlessly for nothing- tests were different material - struggled through the final which again was different material. DO NOT TAKE HER!
OK. haven't had her yet (not til 1-150pm today) and already I have had two upset stomach aches and nausea. I had her for mgt341 and her tests were HARD. Took a group to take the final. Tests look 4eign from work in class. Her idea of a test review is ONE QUESTION AND ONE QUESTION ONLY! The textbk is not cheap for this course either...
Her class today was ok. Although, I'm not a fan of Excel and apparently this course is centered around it. I wrote the comment below this one and I'm not sure why there's a smiley face beside it. I wasn't smiling when I wrote that comment.
I'm dreading this course this semester. I'm about to graduate and she's the only thing that's standing in my way of graduating. I'm just hoping that her tests aren't as bad as they were in MGT341, but I won't hold my breath on that....
Houston, we have a problem. Space cadet of a teacher, isn't quite attached to earth.
I would have to agree w/what the last person wrote. Selvanathan is the most clueless, disorganized, and scatterbrained person I have ever had as a prof. If I was her boss, I'd fire her in a heartbeat.
She is one of the worst teachers i've ever had. almost all of the questions on tests are not anywhere in the book or in the lecture notes and she has no idea what shes doing so if you confront her about something she just stands there and smiles
Nice lady, good intentions. Her test questions are not on material covered or in book. If you tell her tactfully, she WILL change the quiz. Shes not as bad as these retards are saying. You just have to let her know shes not testing right. She changed the tests for us. Shes not that bad. So take her if you have to.
Explains stuff okay, but cannot teach...AT ALL. Gave us a spreadsheet w/ formulas that had B3s and E10s on one side of that sheet and the table on the left. I asked her what values she was referring to w/regards to the E10s and B3s. She had NO CLUE whatsoever. She's already wasted 3 class periods trying to solve one prob. I'm worried about her.....
Can't believe I have her AGAIN this semester. Class is a waste of time and she is a waste of space!
this woman is an idiot. There are no other words to describe her. She makes random assignments up as she goes along. She will then forget to collect these assignments and when you ask her about them she said it was just so you could look at something. Shes freeking nuts people stay away if possible. But if you need the class its easy.
Thank God I'm gradu8ing this Dec. She's THE MOST incompetent prof I've ever encountered in college. Assigns stuff for her classes then forgets to collect them. Tests take on a whole new appearance & aren't like the ones done in class. She's very disorganized & often needs to B corrected when doing in class i.e.s on the board. She's forgetful too.
She is a nice person, but she cannot teach. Her quizzes have nothing to do with material. You have to argue your grades. No explanations on group assignments. The last day of class, she still did not have our grades ready because she does not know how to use excel. she blames any problems on everything and anyone but herself.
Confuses not only herself but her students. Very disorganized & needs 2 B corrected 50% of the time. Forgets to collect assignments and is careless when grading them (Will mark stuff wrong if it's right). Exams->hard b/c they look 4eign from lecs. However, it IS POSSIBLE to get an A in this class! Just get As on assignmnts. U'll get 'A' for final.
After graduating from WCU, I can't believe I had this prof for 1 year. She's the most disorganized, scatterbrained, and forgetful person I've ever met! When I took her course (MGT341), I wanted to drop it 6 times. I couldn't. It was req. for my major. So I was stuck w/her. I also recall that she 4got assigning me HW during 1 of her LECs. Sad...
Here are some quotes: "Is it okay?"-asked after EVERYTHING she teaches.; "What?"-asked when she gets corrected in class; "I don't know."-stated after she realizes she graded an assignment wrong. I feel sorry for those who have her now and in the future. God bless you all.

Worst professor I have had at WCU. Very disorganized and even lost people's projects and their grades. Marked quizzes wrong and never made the corrections on her grade sheet eventhough people told her every week. Teaches straight from the book.
if u study for the quizzes u will be fine, the group projects are easy to get an A
She is late and she missed 3 3-hour class. My assignments always were missing. Final exam was something we never went over. She was very unfair with grading, check wrong, right and right, wrong. . If you can, avoid taking her class. It is such a disappointment.
horrible horrible horribe....totally unorganized and doesn't give projects back until the week before the semester is over...extremely boring...have to read the textbook in order to do well on the quizzes...she takes attendance in the beginning of the semester and then basically stops taking it after about the 3rd week
She scared me. It's been a year since I've seen her and I still get night terrors!
very disorganized and very repetitive...no tests though, only quizzes once a week so its not too bad
Wow. Where to begin? well, her exams are like NOTHING you do in class in her lectures; you will experience a near heart attack upon the sight of the first and subsequent tests; You will hear her repeat "Is it okay?" after every lecture example; and finally, her final exam....GOOD LUCK PASSING IT!!!!
She still gives me night terrors!!!!
The feeling you’ll get when you take her exams: Your stomach turning inside out, Xtreme constipation & worry. The feeling you’ll get when you await your test scores: Seeing your life flash b4 u in black & white. The feeling you get when you pass her class with a passing grade: PRICELESS.
has anyone had her in the summer time? i have read the reviews and it doesnt look too good but im about to take it in the summer..any suggestions?
My advice for the student who prev. wrote: Ask questions on everything. Even if you're sure u might know what ur doing. Take advtge of her office hrs and go over what u learn in class. Apply what u learn on tests. u should be ok.
she gives you a quiz every week. The quizzes are difficult because they are not anything like the stuff she goes over in class, she also is very disorganized and forgetful. She makes errors on the grade sheet, and when you tell her to fix them, she doesnt
She is very unclear. You have a quiz every week but it's really easy as long as you go by the chapter outlines at the end of each chapter. She gives huge curves and the homework in most of your grade. You pick your group the first day so pick people who will show up and do work correctly if you don't want to do it all yourself. Easy A.
Meet Rani: Disorganized, forgetful, and unreachable via email. To get an A grade, take advantage of her office hrs. And bug the crap outta her til u understand!!!!
Shes a really nice lady and you have no big exams or finals but the weekly quizes are pretty hard even if you study. Almost everybody does bad. The good part is half of your grade is based on group projects that are an easy 100%
She embodies what a good professor should NOT be. Most of the time, she had no idea what she was doing. Luckily, I was there to correct her-else, it would be the blind leading the blind! Blerg.

Pay attention during her explanation of how to do the problem. Study from the book for the Final, none of the problems you do in class are on the final. If you need the book for this class, I have it for $40. I originally bought it for $60. You def. use the books for the problems.
She's one of those profs you'll remember for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! You'll never forget her. I do not mean this in a positive sense....
A good grade is attainable in this class however you must teach yourself because she surely does not.Class lectures are directly from the book so attendance is not crucial esp when she rarely attends herself.Test questions are worded tricky so make sure you read the text thoroughly. You'll eventually find out how you're doing the day before final!
She is hard to understand, and she writes very lightly and in small cursive on the blackboard so it is very hard to see. Quizzes arnt bad and most of your grade comes from group projects. My advice is sit in the front center of the room so you can understand her and read the writing
Rani Selvanathan: "Confusing students since 1999"
Takes Attendence everyday, Poor English, handwritting is small and in cursive, NO FINAL!, VERY BORING, Straight lecture from the book everyday, Not very helpful, But I did get a "B"
Slightly difficult to understand, weekly quizes, group project(Significant Portion of your grade) and no final. Basically if you do the work and actually study you will do fine. Lets be reasonable here, all in all at the end of the day it's still a management class, it's not that complicated.
Basically, you need to go to class for the sole purpose of making her feel important. Her accent is thick and OFTEN hard to understand. If you ignore her and take a nap then read the chapter before the weekly quizes you can get an A. She doesn't seem approachable but she's actually a very, very nice woman. Always willing to help. Take her!
She is really hard to understand and the entire semester is based on a quiz every week. The quizes are very difficult because they do not cover anything that she teaches or even the vocab from the book.
Had two classes with her and spent most of the semester correcting her. Can't begin to describe how much "fun" that was...
DO NOT TAKE HER!! Her accent is thick and hard to understand her handwriting is terrible and she doesnt know how to teach or even what to teach. She makes you go to class for no reason because what she teaches in class is never on the weekly quizes.. infact what is on the quizes she just expects you to know because its not even in the book.
awful awful awful!
Weekly quizzes made an A in this class easy.
this be the baddest teecher i eva seen. for real yo dis class suckz, its mad hard cuz shes so hot and its madd distracting and like i cant hear what shes saying.
Umm.. first off probably one of the worst teachers ive ever had. she barely teaches the class. expect to read and comprehend the textbook yourself. group projects and quizzes done weekly.
no tests but quizzes have nothing to do with the notes, all from the textbook, on the projects she just gives you what she feels like. do not take her.
Toughest prof ever! Took 5 people to take the final. No joke, the FInal was nothing like what we learned in class. Good luck to all who have her in the future and good riddance!
Awful. The class is boring and pointless, but unfortunately mandatory. She has these stupid 30 question quizes every monday. If you skim the chapter that the quiz is on, but know the vocab, you should do fine. No final thank god. She also does these stupid "group projects" every friday which are easy but tedious and annoying. I hated her.
BY FAR the worst professor I've ever had. I could not understand her with the accent, and her writing is chicken scratch. 30 questions quizzes every week which most people failed, but group projects also every week which most people got A's on, so it evened out. Quizzes have nothing to do with what she teaches. THANK GOD THERES NO FINAL EXAM!!!
She is a joke. She does not care about her students or her profession. She took no initiative to even know our names. Attendance is mandatory. You have a quiz every week, and there isn't a great prep method for them. You have group essays every week which is so stupid. I got a B but hardly tried. Class is mostly just annoying!
WORST TEACHER EVER! I almost failed all of her quizzes but get 100% on all of my projects. I went to see her about my grade and she told me that I was going to receive either a high B or an A. When I got my grades she gave me a C. Then I tried to talk to her about it and she completely ignored me! NEVER TAKE HER. She should be fired.
There is a quiz every class but no final. She really isn't as bad as everyone says. You must study for the quizzes though because they are a huge part of your grade. The porjects are easy but make sure you do well on them. Attend class and study for the quizzes if you have to take her.
She is horrible! I had the 3 hour class which consisted of a quiz, then notes, and a project. The notes she gave us had nothing to do with the quiz! You had to read the textbook by yourself to even try to get a C on the it. She never answered her emails and you could hardly understand her accent or handwriting. DO NOT TAKE HER!
She was a nice person but you could not understand what she was saying. Also writing on the board her handwriting was awful. Quizzes I failed most of them. They were everyday and on one chapter in the book. I didn't like the class at all.
Her lectures are useless, she doesn't return emails or use D2L, she warns you to hold on to all work and you should cause she loses and forgets stuff all the time. If you are looking to add frustration to an already hectic schedule take this Professor
Absolutely the worst teacher I have ever encountered. Her English is terrible, makes a 50 minute class feel like 2 hours, and nothing she says in her lectures is on the quizzes which are every week. Projects are easy but she also grades them grammatically. I thought she was a business teacher not English. DO NOT take her
OMG. She's STILL here!? Word of advice who have to take her: "If you can survive her classes, you can survive ANYTHING!"
Can anyone find the optimal solution off the top of their head? Oh, and you can only do this when using EXCEL! Yes, her teaching methods leave less to be desired.
she takes attendance every day in classes of 90.. which is annoying because nothing she says in class ever appears on the quizzes, she seems to just make stuff up for them. Its really hard to do well and its frustrating to have to go to a pointless class that feels like a 3 hour every time you go. look elsewhere.
1. cant understand her 2. the quizzes are hard because they are not from her lecture, or the text book. The questions either have typos or the answer isn't even there. 3. Boring 4. not even halfway through this semester and I hate her
I LOVE professor selvanathan. She is the best lady ever. She is so nice, so cooool, and really beautiful!!! I wish she taught all of my classes!<3
If you ever had the urge to gauge out your eyeballs, don't take this class. It is ungodly boring and she is the worst teacher I've ever had.
I've had this class for a week. And I can confidently say that all the reviews on here are 100% true. One quiz in, and I can already tell she pulls the questions out of thin air. Half of them have typos. The rest just don't make sense. Do not take this class. Reading, studying, and taking notes will not save you from these quizzes.
If you have this woman for ANY management course, GOOD LUCK!
Her lectures are boring. Grade is 20% attendance 80% online quizzes. How you do is totally dependent on how you do on quizzes. She keeps them open for 24 hours, and gives you unlimited time to do them. Shouldn't be a difficult class for most, but definitely a boring one.
Class is horrible but you can show up 40 minutes late, sign the sign in sheet and leave. I got B's on most quizzes because a lot of the answers are out of the text book. Teacher wise: horrendous Class wise: Easy B with borderline no effort.
She seems like a nice person, but she is the worst professor I have ever had thus far at West Chester. Her teaching style was bland and very unclear. Her quizzes that she has every week certainly were not based off of anything she taught us. The university should look into getting a better professor for this class.
Quizzes were nearly impossible. The questions made no sense most of the time. i emailed her to reopen one and she emailed me back the day after the semester and said it was too late to reopen that response was about 1 month and a half after I emailed her to open it AND talked to her in class. Don''t buy puzzle book.
AWFUL. very thick accent, hard to understand and sit through the class. grades are attendance participation and online quizzes which are super easy.
She is a clown. her English is god awlful. nothing she says makes sense. class of 80 and she sends the sign in sheet with ten minutes left. all tests are online and all you have to do is google the answer. she is not helpful and doesn't know how to use any technology. she can't be avoided as a business major but an easy A. also textbook is a waste
She is terrible but an easy A. Going to class was terrible and she has no idea what she's even saying. The quizzes each week are easy if you google the answers. I learned absolutely nothing from her class.
Worst class ever. you should not be in college if you cannot get at least a B in this class
Very boring but also very easy. Deal with the lectures and take the easy A.
Good professor. Pretty regular. Gives the lecture and always lets you leave early. Easy grader. Always extends your quizzes and lets you repeat. Attendance + answering questions getting good grades. Not the most enjoyable course but good enough. Don't skip class then complain. College students have to be willing to learn and not just get by only.
Tests are never based on course material lectured in class. Prof is forgetful and will forget occasionally that she had assigned homework. She is somewhat accessible during office hrs so be sure to take FULL advantage if you get stuck on anything. Good luck trying to pass her courses. You will need it. You will also never forget her.
