I was very excited to take the UCLA Environmental Science Practicum class. However, Professor Deepak made this class unbearable. Constantly changing meeting times, sending rude emails back, not understanding our project to the full extent, making it uncomfortable to speak up and at the end of the year / practicum not responding to emails to publish our research and finish our final report. I am very disappointed as I know other groups have had much better experiences. This was a sad way to end my time at UCLA with such a disrespectful and unhelpful professor. Speak up to Noah early into your practicum project and get help from him instead.
