I LOVE HER! Sonali is nice, down to earth, very knowledgeable, and EXTREMELY helpful! Trust me I bugged her all semester and she never once seemed to be irritated by my constant questions. By the way she teaches, you can tell that she loves her job.

Sonali was probably the best teacher i have ever had! she is so intelligent and really knows how to instill her knowledge in the minds of her students! it is clear that she loves teaching with her smile everyday!

Dr. Raje was really nice. The class wasn't that bad at all. I didn't know anything starting out. Sometimes she is hard to understand in lecture. I took really good notes and I read the book ALOT! I ended up with an A. She also posts old tests online which help alot. She is funny too. Take her!

Intelligent and helpful professor. Sometimes she is hard to understand and can be confusing, but she is really nice and funny. she needs to improve with keeping your attention. Tests n quizzes are difficult. I took great notes and read the book and got an A-. I felt that I deserved an A. She posts old tests online which help a lot. Easy B.

very helpful- is ready to help whenever you need. you must attend every class to do well-posts old exams online which are a good study guide. Relies a lot on the book but she is fun and approachable.

Omgsh, Sonali is the best. Her lectures can be a bit boring but she's probably the best chem 105 teacher. Really helpful, and kind. She's really fun in lab too. DEF TAKE HER

She is awesome! The notes in lecture are exactly like the test. Attendance is not mandatory but it is definitely helpful to go to class. She gives quizzes after every chapter which help you understand the material and prepare you for the test. All the tests and quizzes from previous classes are posted online and are soo helpful to study from.

Absolutely the best ever!!! I didn't like Chemistry much to begin with but I learned a LOT from this class. It is easy if you work and she makes you work and learn the material but it is absolutely worth it. You feel accomplished once you go through her class.

She's a good teacher. She explains things in class until you understand them and is willing to help outside of class. Drops the lowest quiz grade and tests and quizzes are entirely from notes. Posts old exams on BB. Curves the class before it starts and gives extra credit.

RAJE IS THE BEST! I loved having her as a lab teacher and wish I would have taken her for lecture. She explains things great, is always willing to help, and really knows what she is talking about. She's always in a happy and good mood and answers/helps with anything to make it clear.

With the craziness that TU had for the chem department this year, she was the only professor where students actually learned. I had her for lecture, but I definitely wish that I had taken her for lab as well. Wonderful professor that desires for her students to pass. She's a harder grader, but fair.

Absolutely love Raje, she's the most helpful and sweetest person. She taught me everything in lab that my lecture professor never taught me- if it wasn't for her, I would have done way worse. Will always take the time to explain things until you understand them.

Attendance isn't mandatory but go every day. She is so straightforward. I never use the book and I've been getting A's and B's on everything. I hate chemistry and it never made much since to me but you'll do fine in her class.

I love Raje. I had her for lecture and she was truly the sweetest teacher and I would highly recommend taking her. If you're not doing well then just talk to her, she will get help for you.

I don't like Chemistry to begin with and I still don't like it but I learned a LOT in her class. You need to take really good notes but she writes everything on the board. She has an accent but speaks fluent English. She makes hard exams though- you won't see anything on the test that is not covered in class but that doesn't make it any better.

She gave us access to the Connect homework when we finished the chapters. Posts old exams with grading rubrics- very helpful while studying for tests. Insists that you to know your math fundamentals. Has high standards and expectations from students. She was very motivational and helpful when I approached her in office hours outside of class.

I loved Dr. Raje!! She was great! This class is not an easy A, but if you work hard and study, your going to be fine. She is a great professor, and the tests reflect exactly what is taught in lecture. Do yourself a favor and please take her.

I loved Professor Raje! She took the time to get to know all of her students and really cared about the success of them individually. She was so sweet and taught the information well. If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with her, dont miss it because she's great! We had 1 test a month and a quiz every 2 weeks.

Literally the best teacher ever.

LOVED her. I studied a good amount for this class and did well. Her quizzes and exams are pretty easy, as long as you look over the notes and keep on your homework you'll be fine.

She is very knowledgeable in her field and explains concepts very specifically and she is so nice!

This is a younger version of Professor McGonagall of the muggle world. Cannot find a better way to describe the professor or what you can expect from her.

While this class is a LOT of work, I especially liked the fact that there was nothing on the exams which we had not learned. Can't afford to skip class though because everything is tested. Still the lowest two are dropped so didn't matter much. Can treat you like an idiot if you miss class and make dumb excuses- seen it personally and -NOT pretty.

Professor Raje is the best for 131 at Towson, hands down. This is my third time taking the course, so far I'm thriving. I got As on first two exams while my friends in other classes got Cs and Fs. Raje has a lot of content on blackboard and is always willing to meet outside of class. She couldn't set you up to pass any better. I wish she taught 132

I absolutely loved Professor Raje this semester. Shes friendly and approachable and explains concepts clearly. She provides further explanations when asked and lots of study materials, Blackboard content, and worked problems to review. My only disappointment is that she isnt teaching Chem 132 in the spring; Id definitely take her class again.

Chem 131 is overall a relatively difficult class no matter who your professor is, however, Dr. Raje makes learning a breeze and breaks down everything with great detail. If you're someone like me who likes to skip a class then you'll find this class to be very difficult since she doesn't use powerpoint so it's important to take good notes.

Dr. Raje doesn't overcomplicate the material and grades fairly, so getting an A is very realistic as long as you study. Gen Chem I is a commonly failed course, but the department tries to combat this by building extra credit opportunities into your grade. DO NOT WASTE THESE POINTS, as the content grows more challenging as the semester progresses.

Okay listen, at first I was not a fan, but over time I realized she is #1 in the department for a reason. She is decent at teaching to the classroom, but if you ever get lost GO TO HER OFFICE! She will help you and make things clear, and is welcoming about it. She may seem strict at first but you'll realize she is super funny and helpful!

Doesn't take attendance but as with any science class not going would only hurt you. She's very clear in lecture and provides many examples. Homework reflects directly what is covered on tests and she doesn't try to trick you. If you need help go to her office and she is more than welcoming. Really knows her stuff, best 131 teacher at Towson

I absolutely loved professor Raje! The class was difficult and very fast paced, but she wanted the class to pass so she made sure that we all knew the content well before she tested us. The tests were only graded on what we knew and learned in class, so if you studied and took good notes you would be fine. Overall a really great teacher!

Chemistry is hard but she made it better. She drops the lowest quiz and allows your final to replace your lowest test. She gives 25 extra credit points and truly tries helping all her students. We were a class of 80+ and she knew us all by first and lat name. She really is one of the few professors who loves teaching and cares for her students

Dr. Raje is # 1 for several reasons :-Teaches the material in a very clear way -Spaces out H W so it isn't overwhelming -Office hours extremely helpful and is very welcoming -Genuinely wants her students to do well and keeps it REAL -Guides you and gives great advice on whether to drop or stay and is very encouraging -Never makes u feel dumb

She's the best chemistry teacher at Towson. Sh explains things clearly and gives so many examples there's no way you won't know what she's talking about. Textbook is very useful so you need it. Everything with her is straight to the point which is why I think she's so great. Doesn't try to trick you or overcomplicate things

I got an A in her class because of how amazing she is. She cares about each and every one of her students despite what anyone says. She will not move on until you UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. Speak up in class, ask questions or you WILL fail. Lots of extra credit. Do the modules!!! I also worked at my job more than 10hrs a week and I was fine!

Dr. Raje is a very nice lady who makes it very clear what to expect on quizzes and tests. Chemistry is a hard class but she makes it a lot easier

One of my favorite professors at Towson. She made everything clear and made sure you understood if you were confused. Also prepared you for tests very well, chem isn't an easy class so it was still not easy but she is the best professor to take.

Prof. Raje is an awesome professor. She made chemistry easier to understand than I expected and gave us a decent amount of extra credit to bump up our grades. To pass, DO THE HOMEWORK AND EXTRA CREDIT!!! Free points and it helps you understand the material. 3 tests plus a cumulative final. Take her if you get the chance!!!

She's really cool and is very straight to the point. She tends to go fast in class but if you see her after class or in office hours she explains things very clearly. She really gives a good foundation that you'll need if you're going to take chem132 in the future

This class was kinda hard. The professor had a lot of material to cover over the course of the semester so she moved quite fast but always made sure to open the floor for questions. During her office hours she will break down concepts step by step as many times as you need. Because she cares for her students, passing is definitely possible.

Starting off, I tried taking her class online and she isn't the best online teacher. But taking her in person made my performance skyrocket. Dr. Raje is a great teacher but the class is lecture-heavy. So, attend class, take notes, and study, you should be straight.

I loved professor Raje. I was nervous taking chem especially after a year online, but she was able to make the transition to in person super easy. She always accounted for her students opinions and made sure to ask us what the class preferred in regards to how lecture was taught, how tests dates should be laid out etc. Definitely would take again!

Lectures weren't available online unless that class was held online, so make sure there's someone you can ask for notes from. She was very generous with grades--all homework has 2 attempts, and the lowest quiz is dropped. B/c of omicron, she made the final optional: if you skipped the exam, the grade was averaged, but she kept final forgiveness.

Professor Raje was a great professor. She was always available if you needed help by emailing you back quickly and having office hours at a reasonable time. Her quizzes were fairly easy if you showed up to class and did the HW, they resembled it exactly. All in all, she was a fair and easygoing teacher. I recommend her!

Professor Raje is an intimidating woman to be sure, however she's fair, funny (when you get to know her) and will help you if you go to her office hours. I'm normally a straight A's kinda student, however this class totally beat me - you really have to put Chemistry first in order to pass (mostly because it's so much memorization).

Dr. Raje is terrific! She is empathetic to the class and makes sure everyone is keeping up during lecture. She puts a lot of thought into making information digestible (by giving handwritten notes, checking in with the class.) She is highly accessible during office hours if you need some help -late night online office hours saved me! Funny too!

Chemistry is a hard class with so much material but she does an amazing job at teaching it. There are a lot of quizzes but you just need to study the material. She gives homework with the exact format of the quiz questions and lots of practice problems that are very helpful!

She is very good at explaining things, is always accessible outside and after class, and is just a generally good person to interact with. Could not have had a better chem professor!

Dr. Raje was a fast paced professor but gave many practice problems. She posts study guides for each chapter online if you're ever struggling and the quizzes and exams aren't the worst. If you stay focused in class and put some studying into the material, it will be easy. Overall Dr. Raje is a good professor and I recommend taking her.

This class is difficult, but worth it! She cares about her students and is a fair grader. She writes her own notes and projects it as you're writing hers. There are many different things you are graded on an extra credit opportunity. As long as you are willing to do all the work and study for every quiz and exam, you can get an A.

This course was very, very hard but Dr. Raje made it all worth it. I learned so much but beware it is a very fast paced class. She is always able and open for office hours and is very supportive and caring. I hope I get to take one of her classes again. She loves what it teaches and it shows. Labs are stressful and there are a lot of tests/quizzes.

She's very nice and if you ask for help she does help you and explains it pretty well. She is a tough grader and quizzes can be hard but overall she does help you. Her lectures notes are not the best and you might need to sit in the front if you want to truly succeed in this class. I personally enjoyed the class but it is a hard class.

Although I withdrew from CHEM131, it wasn't because of Dr. Raje—she's an amazing professor, and I highly recommend taking her. 131 isn't easy, and that's coming from someone who loves chemistry and took it 3 times in high school. Dr. Raje teaches really well! Lot's of content, weekly quizzes, and homework, but she's great. Definitely take her!

I loved Dr.Raje. She is caring. I will say, her lectures are extremely fast, and she could definitely be better at explaining some things, but she really wants her students to understand and encourages questions. To be successful in this course, you have to study outside of class. She gives a good amount of homework but they make good practice.
