TAs were tough graders on papers. Lectures were boring. Disorganized canvas, never know what to read. All quizzes were taken online at home. If most people got a question wrong she would give everyone credit. Overall, not bad but the grading is very tough.

This class was the bane of my existence. Lectures were not very engaging and while it is an English class, the many many readings were not well organized and I didn't know what to read when. Your grade is in your TA's hands so pray you get a good one, but they are all very particular with what they deem as "good writing" so beware.

She's a sweet lady and cares for her students. Lectures can be a bit boring but she tries to make them interesting. It's not too difficult to get a good grade, the tests aren't bad and she provides extra credit opportunities. It can be difficult if your Ta is a harsh grader though

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.

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.

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.
