An incredible English 11 professor excels at teaching, especially on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She handles tense subjects with care and grace, focusing on uncovering political truths rather than mere opinions. Highly recommend her, she often invites visitors to speak, as a result there are never any dull moments!

Ghosh is a really nice woman and her lectures are interesting if you like English. However, your grade solely depends on your TA. My TA was really nice, so that worked out. You don't have to attend lecture, but it does help writing papers. You do also have to read in order to write the essays. Unless you're really good at faking it lol.

Ghosh is a sweet little lady, but obviously very liberal. Dont bother with lectures. Your grade is completely based on section participation and essays. As long as you read whatever book or poem you choose for the two papers, you will be just fine. You can scrape by in section without really reading if you catch the gist of the conversation.

Read just what you need to write your papers to save time. Participation in section matters, so you should at least know what to say if you didn't do the assigned reading. One midterm paper on a poem, a final paper on a novel. Office hours with TA Cortes was extremely helpful. If TA offers an opportunity for help on paper, take them up on it.

You have a few papers to write that are TA graded so your grade really depends on them. Ghosh is a good lecturer, but sometimes she goes really fast. Participation is only mandatory for section. I would recommend doing the readings if you actually want to learn.

Honestly, the grade totally depends on your TA. The professor doesn't grade any of the writing since it's such a big class. Lectures are not mandatory but is not horrible. Also didn't read any of the books and just the summaries and did just fine! Just go to TA office hours and ask him to read over your essay!

Prof Ghosh is a very sweet woman who genuinely cares about the subject she is teaching. Gave us a lot of opportunities to better our scores and gave us a wide variety of options. Lectures were pretty dense/dull. Just read and show up to section.

Professor Ghosh is clearly very intelligent and very interested in what she teaches. It's nice to see that she actually enjoys her job. Attending the lectures, while not necessary, is helpful in writing the essays (most grading is done by the TA, though). The style of lecture is rather dry, but the material she covered was interesting.

The class attendance is not necessary. just read the books and you will be fine

Lectures weren't necessary since your grade is based on separate assignments and section participation. Generally speaking, it was an average class but nothing too special.

Lectures were a bit dry. Boring at times. Material and grading really comes down to your TA. Pretty okay class

Her lectures are absolutely useless as the class is not tested on anything in her lectures. It is a pretty easy class and only requires putting 3-5 hours in for each of the two essays. That is basically the only assignments in that class.

Although I went to all of them, I felt like the lectures did not pertain to our assignments or papers at all! However, thankfully the class was still rather easy, sans the help of lectures, as long as you put in a few hours of work to each assignment. Discussion helped a lot. She says "yeah?" at the end of 1/2 her sentences.

Professor Ghosh is the sweetest most lovable professor! English 10 was extremely interesting and she gives a reasonable amount of papers and time to do them in. She talks for long periods and her slides are jam packed with info but she is clearly very passionate about English. I ended up with an A, and my TA was absolutely amazing!

Lectures are useless, full of way too much information, and if she didn't take attendance via iClicker you wouldn't need to attend at all. Every other word she says is "right?" It is VERY distracting. On the other hand, the class is incredibly easy; no tests, just a few at home quizzes and two papers.

Great professor. Of course English 10 is just high school AP English again...this course has a lot of annoying things like tricky online quizzes and i-clickers. I switch backpacks a lot so that affected my grade more than necessary. But Ghosh does a great job of teaching the material and ensuring the class understands everything.

Lectures on poetry were excruciatingly boring, but once we got to "Frankenstein" things got better. No midterm or final, and only a few online quizzes and two papers which build off of previous assignments making them easy. Only take this class if it is required for your major!! It is boring, and I am an ENGL major, I am supposed to love this!

Lectures can get a little boring but and are fairly pointless (considering there is no midterm or final) but she's a very nice woman and you can tell she loves what she does. Very lenient and understanding when it comes to online quizzes and assignments (she gave us extra days for both of our papers). Uses iclickers for participation/attendance

The class itself was not a whole lot of work--2 papers, 2 smaller written assignments, no exams, 3 short online quizzes and there's a lot of time to get the assignments done. She is clearly knowledgeable but she tries to cover too much in one lecture/powerpoint. She laughs at EVERYTHING and her tone of voice is annoying. Class is very elementary.

the only issue with this class is her overloaded power points- they are so full that often times I missed what she was saying because I was writing everything down (which is crucial for this class); she is lenient with online quizzes and you are given a lot of time to complete assignments (1-2 weeks)

A very personable person but not good at teaching. Class was boring but relatively easy. My ta was terrible.

Professor Ghosh is really nice and tries to make the lectures interesting. The content is very easy to understand but can sometimes feel boring, but she does her very best to help you prepare for the midterm and final. Depending on your TA, you may or may not be graded strictly, but overall this class was fun.

Pretty easy class, lectures were almost pointless but entertaining and interesting, clear midterm/quiz/final study guide, make sure to do the readings, and memorize stuff. My ta was a bit nit picky on grading but very knowledgeable, mandatory section, not lecture. Lots of info in lecture, but again its kinda useless, overall boring class but easy

Boring class and lectures, but fairly easy. Midterm and final are also easy because of the study guides, memorize those and you're good to go really. Doesn't build excitement for the Global Studies major.
