ASAM5 . Pandya S P 10 Months Ago

Graded by Section Attendance/Participation, Midterm, Final (each 3 short answer ques). Readings were not as disturbing as people are making them out to be. Nuanced content, interesting to learn about. Only issue is Pandya would say he would post lectures after Wed. lectures, but would post them inconsistently; into the next week when we moved on

Lectures were VERY interesting, helped us to understand the readings, and WERE VERY SIMILAR to the midterm & final (75% of grade). A lot of dense readings (read around a book or multiple short stories/two weeks), but as an Asian American, I found them super engaging. Learned what it means to be ASAM via different lenses. Sections also were helpful!

I love Sameer sm!!! The material was pretty dense and vacuous at times, but Prof Pandya was super passionate during his lectures and made it easy to grasp the more difficult concepts. The reading can be alot, but if you keep up with the schedule it isn't horrible, and the assigned books were really good anyways so I didn't mind.

I LOVE Professor Pandya! He's is THE BEST. His lectures are amazing, he really shows that he knows what he's talking about and is VERY passionate about it. Grading is very clear and the reading is pretty chill, just keep up on the schedule he gives on the syllabus and you're good.

GOAT GE professor, his lectures were amazing first and foremost and was extremely interesting for a general education. Uploaded his lecture material when asked by his students, super straightforward midterm so long as you paid attention, and was aware of the situations that impacted his students. Super understanding professor highly recommend.

This class is a good, interesting, and pretty easy GE. Reading amount was expected for a lit class and all very interesting texts. Lectures were offered online as well but I wish more people had come to class because lectures were very engaging and interesting. Prof Pandya has very insightful things to say and perspectives. Highly recommend!
