Comment:
Professor Manring is a very straightforward professor, show up to class, read, do the simple homework and you will an A. The class isn't hard by any means, a lot of people end up with low grade due to not reading and not showing up to class. She made the class way more interesting than I thought it would be, overall I would recommend.

Comment:
The worst teacher at IU. I did rather take a bullet than attend any of her classes. I really don't understand how does she hold so many designations. She is the worst and is never accessible. Her office hours are useless and so is sending her drafts. Would not recommend anyone to take her and any course she teaches.

Comment:
Amazing teacher, if you do the work and put the time in to read the assigned reading and do some research for the essays, the class is an easy A. There is no final and no homework only like 6-8 papers mostly consisting of two pages. She does take spelling and grammar serious but it's college and you should already be proofreading your papers.

Don't even bother trying to have a good semester if you're taking this class. This teacher will ruin your life, run while you can.

Comment:
She should just teach a grammar class because that's essentially all this class was. I would take our written work into the writing tutorial services and still get a D on my papers. Also, when she teaches she teaches as if you already know the subject. For sure way to hard for a 100 level class. She's also not accommodating at all.

Literally the worst professor at IU. It's a shame how a graduate student without her qualifications would have been a 1000x better prof than her.

100 level class and because of her poor teaching, lack of enthusiasm, and harsh grading on assignments she made this class feel like at least a 300 level course.

Comment:
Most cruel professor. In the syllabus it clearly states that she accepts late work and 10% off per day (which implies more than one). She changed due date for first assignment. I turned it in less than 2 days late, and she didn't accept it and gave me zero. That's 12% of my grade. I pleaded with her, she did not budge at all. Condescending too.

Comment:
This was quite possibly the worst class I have ever taken!!!!!! I would never recommend this class to anyone. The prof comes off as RUDE and isn't helpful to her students. Along with this, Manring isn't open to new ideas and often times cuts her students off. Not my choice class!

Comment:
Manring gives confusing and unclear lectures. She skims over huge swaths of material with little explanation. Test are essentially over trivia, not ideas, concepts, or an understanding of the material. She provides no study guides or outlines. I took this class because I was interested in India, however her instruction leaves much to be desired.

Comment:
I took this class an elective and it ended up being one of my harder classes. there were multiple long readings every night. She was very unclear about deadlines and graded assignments much harder than necessary. She didn't help prepare us for the midterm of final. I also did not participate in this class because she didn't make it a comfortable.

Comment:
Rebecca Manring is clearly highly knowledgable about Hinduism, but her lectures aren't organized, which makes all of the various gods and goddesses even harder to understand and keep straight. I was looking for a clear-cut introduction with lots of charts and history in a class entitled Intro to Hinduism, but it's way more about analysis.

I was interested in India until I took this class. She is not interesting and class feels like forever. Also, she graded way too harshly on small papers for a 100 level class.

The people giving her bad reviews were probably people who didn't care. If you care to learn, she is extremely helpful, and even more understanding. A really nice, thought-provoking teacher, who knows a lot!!

Comment:
Interesting film studies class that anyone with an Indian background should consider taking. Manring took a great approach to Bollywood film examples and tried to weave it into a statement of sorts. Not clear what exactly that is, but there should be something different for everyone.
