I'm currently taking her online. The class is confusing and without direction. You are required to meet at various times for online chats which negates the purpose of taking the class online. Very time consuming class! I would reccommend taking E.Walsh for this class, as it is required for Honors students...

This is a PowerPoint lecture class. Best to take Online. She has an accent which makes her difficult to understand. She never goes over homework, quizzes or tests. Be prepared to do it all on MyEcono Lab. She does respond quickly to emails. She does not teach the course.

Professor Kumari's online class is extremely easy. I didn't do any of the 3 discussion boards (4 discussion boards in 1) and I missed 1 of 3 tests (not proctored, aced 1 and failed the other) and ended the class with a B. Read the material, do all of the homework, practice homework, and quizzes and you are golden :D

One of the worst teachers I've ever taken. Too many assignments for an online class. Too many small things you had to complete in order to get your real work done. Too many things due at once. Too many things due back to back. She was really rude when you did reach out to her. She just didn't care.

Her expectations are clear, each Module structure is easy to follow and understand, and she provides personalized feedback. The course itself is tough, but Prof. Kumari offers generous extra credit, and no proctored exams for this class. Would definitely take again!

SO. MUCH. CONTENT. You are essentially teaching yourself with this online class and in my opinion this class is probably better taken in person. Reaching out for help does nothing and feedback is very generic. The only positive is that Prof. Kumari is an easy grader on discussion posts but that only helps so much when the tests and quizzes are hard

I don't know what all these negative reviews are, this class was very simple. Read a chapter in the book, answer a few questions for homework that are basically directly quoted from the book. The teacher is really helpful and shows you everything. Probably one of my favorite classes and teachers out of all my time in school, no reason to fail.

I felt the lectures didn't quit cover the material well so it was important to read the text book. No honorlock. 2 chapters/quizzes a week, 1 test and discussion every 4 chapters, no midterm or finals. Attendance is a grade. Easy class if you study on your own and find resources that match your learning style. Time consuming but not extremely hard.

Mrs. Kumari was a really good professor. There is sort of a lot of work with the weekly homework assignments, but she uses in-class worksheets that prepare you for them. If you are a good student and communicate with her effectively, she's a little lenient if you have a minor slip-up with an assignment. She was extremely nice & I enjoyed the course

With this being my first college class even and not being in school in about 12 years, I did not know what to expect. With this being an express class there was a lot of homework and reading, which I assume happens with every express class. With A job and a family, I feel it was very easily manageable by setting a few hours aside every night.

The class is insanely easy. However, the professor uses an AI detection website that is completely garbage. For every discussion post I wrote I was flagged over %80 AI generated. This was very stressful because my writing was genuine. I had to dumb down my discussion post that way I would get a good grade. I am sure this is not the first complaint.

Dr. Sunita Kumari's class has been a frustrating experience. She seems to lack understanding of the material and doesn't engage with students. Her 500+ word discussion posts are excessive, and the McGraw-Hill lessons offer no guidance on problem-solving. Overall, her teaching style makes the course unnecessarily difficult and unsatisfying.
