FEMST20 . Dasgupta D A Month Ago

Took in summer 24. Professor was fine but the TA was AWFUL. Spent so long on my essay and met with TA to discuss & check I was on the right path. TA was useless, referred me to the rubric, and didn't want to have a conversation. I was just hoping to build rapport since it was online. The quizzes also dropped my grade a little but beware TA grading!

Prof D is very friendly. His lectures at times can be difficult, but there are videos, films, visiting speakers that helps. Loved making the Zines that helps connecting your experiences with the content

Prof has a fun personality and knows how to connect with his students, but I wish the class was better organized. I never knew what was going on or what we were covering. Lectures never helped so I stopped attending. I basically was guiding myself and with the help of my TA. Readings were very interesting though!! Easy writing course tbh

The professor means well and is knowledgeable but lectures were usually not that important nor clear. If you read the 'mandatory' readings and have a good TA you'll do good in the class without having to go to lecture. I relied heavily on my TA to understand what the professor wants from us but it is a good class.

Professor Dasgupta really cares about his students and is very passionate about the material. The class has an essay for the midterm and a zine for the final project. Neither is hard and the zine is cool to make. TAs are also super knowledgeable and are very willing to help clarify any concepts.
