She was good. The class was not very interesting, but it was clear what she wanted, and the tests were easy enough, but super time consuming.

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.

lots to memorize, but honestly still pretty easy. midterm was pretty easy. dont need to go to lecture and she gives you a guide on what you need to know for the midterm/final. just memorize the terms and do the readings and youll be fine.

Honestly, this is messed up to say, but every time I would fall asleep in her class, IDK why, but I just would always fall asleep. The readings sometimes matter but not always, my TA was kind of doing too much, and the midterm wasn't so bad.

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!

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.
