Judging by what other people have said I might be alone in feeling this way, but I hated the way Ghosh lectured. She made really easy concepts seem way more complex than they were and I simply couldn't follow along her lectures. Nothing she said made sense to me. Class is very easy with posted lecture slides and papers graded super easily though.

Online midterm and final; she really hooked it up. Got an A on both midterm and final and only one B on one of the essays. I skipped 3 out of 10 sections and got a B in the class because of it. Just don’t skip section (even if it’s a waste of time) and you’ll be fine. Material is very basic in this course.

Professor Ghosh is really sweet and made lectures very interesting. midterm and final were both straightforward, online, MC exams and the two writing assignments were super short. easy class but your grade definitely depends on the TA (mine was vague with their expectations and didn't provide any feedback on assignments which was frustrating)

Graded by sections, midterm, 2 2 page papers, + final. Attendance was optional for my section but TA was so engaging, also had us write 150 words/week. Midterm/final were multiple choice; questions can be misleading. Papers were easy/straightforward to complete. Very informative lectures, many interesting concepts. Class content is strangely broad.

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!

Lectures are very dense, my hand cramped up every day from writing so fast, but overall a pretty easy class

She was a fantastic lecturer and her lectures were fairly interesting. You have to show up because she wont post her slides, but the lectures are far from boring. Once you become aware of how often she says right? or yeah? at the end of her sentences, it will become painful.

She's super sweet and I enjoyed listening to her lectures. She doesn't post her slides, so you kinda gotta show up. Not a lot of work, interesting topic, overall really liked it.
