She is an excellent professor. Not too much writing. Very easy to follow. Got out of class early all the time.

She's a great teacher, lets you out early, and grades the papers fairly...also is not big on late assignments, can turn it in anytime mostly!

awesome teacher who grades paper very fairly, she will let u know the places where u will need to improve on which is very good..

Awesome

We watched American History X for our core 1 project, AND she brought in candy and snacks for us to eat during the movie. Papers are medium difficulty, but she helps you through every step. trust me TAKE THIS CLASS.

Awsome, got out early almost everyday. The assignments were graded fair and we didn't do too much writing...a lot of class discussions, which was cool. I reccommend taking this class.

Best professor I have had yet. She understands those who have other classes with very heavy workload and that not every student is majoring in English. Will help if you ask. More thinking and discussion than actual writing here. Seemed to care about students and not just show up for salary.

You've just found your new english comp teacher. Fay is a flexible and very caring woman. She has a Ph.D, knows her stuff, and it REALLY nice. She's not a dictator, she's your friend in writing. EASY if you just show up and try...a little..

I loved her so much that i took her twice! She is an awesome teacher that is understanding and caring of her students. The class is relatively easy as long as you do your work and turn it in. Class discussions are fun and easy. I highly recommend.

Great personality and an easy class. Maybe too easy? Then again it's UCF.

Dr. Fay is very flexible and down to earth. Very relaxed class, as she wants you to enjoy it.

Dr. Hasanat was by far the nicest professor ive met yet. As long as you go to class and turn in your papers, you'll be fine. She's easy going and uncomplicated. You will be fine in her class. Take her.. shes awesome

I love the laid-back learning atmosphere. I wish she taught more classes that I need to take, because I would definintely take her again! She's very understanding. To all those who gave her a bad rating, it's Comp II, non-English majors are taking this course! No one likes mean people. :)

The best class ive had so far... Easy and laid back... shes always helpful and you'll DEF get an A as long as you do her papers and go to class... Fun class and almost always lets you out early... Highly recommended!

Very good teacher who lets the class discuss every reading before she lectures. Not difficult to do well on her papers

awesome professor. she's great

Dr. Fay is a very easy and laid back teacher. She gives in to almost anything the class asks her (going home early, deadline extensions) and lets you out early almost every class. Papers are graded pretty easy but she is not too organized and doesn't really give good guidelines for the papers. But otherwise a very sweet woman!

Cool teacher who is very helpful. Class discussions and lectures are interesting. Expect to write a few essays and a 8-10 page essay towards the end.

ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I'VE MET. SHE IS VERY CARING AND TRIES TO HELP HER STUDENTS. SHE TREATED US WITH RESPECT. I ENJOYED THE CLASS.

AWESOME ENGLISH TEACHER!! Dr. Fay's teaching style kept students interested! I can't say enough great things about her class! You must take her for english 2!

This class was alright. She was a very nice person, fun to chat with. The class became a lot about arab civilizations because she is foreign. This made the class very boring since it was ALWAYS about Iraq, war, and Arabs. Lots of essays, but nothing hard outside of that. No tests, had a party instead of a final!

She is very nice. sets all due dates back for every paper. easy class, i would take her again if she taught 1102

She was such a nice lady and was very helpful in writing papers. Class was short and sweet. I would love to have her as my professor again!

one of the best classes I've ever taken at UCF. Dr. Hasanat is great!

Proff. Hasanat is not a harsh grading professor. Yet this should not detract from the fact that she genuinely knows her romantic and victorian age poetry. She is very respectful to all her students and is actually concerned with you taking something away from the class besides a grade. Take her if you can, for as many classes as she teaches

Dr. Fay is very nice and truly cares about her students. The class is fairly easy but you do have to go- can get boring but overall easy class with nice prof.

Dr. Hasanat is the greatest teacher ever, and so funny! She's always telling jokes and she is so sweet and really cares about her students. She will do anything to make sure her students all get a good grade. Make sure you read the assigned readings, they're not long and will help you a lot. Must take!

She is amazing! She is more like your favorite Aunt than a professor. She is very understanding and willing to work with her students. Show up, act interested and communicate-- easy A if you just show up.

She has a Ph. D. so she is crazy smart, but she treats everyone like an equal. We had a lot of fun and I don't think we ever stayed the entire period. Come to class, enjoy and participate and you should be fine and learn from a really great professor.

She is a great teacher she helps you a lot. She is pretty lenient and very understanding. It's a pretty easy class.

Dr. Hasanat is really nice. She gets sidetracked really easily and forgets what she was talking about, but its fun. You really have to pay attention to due dates once shes told you because it won't come up again until the day the assignment is due, but overall this class is really easy, really laid back, and fun.

She is extremely nice and very understanding. Can be funny too. She will help you with papers if your struggling. Most of the time you wont stay for the entire class time. Overall I highly recommend her!

What an amazing professor! Her class isn't a free A, but she makes the material interesting. She is quite funny and very down-to-earth. I'm definitely taking more of her classes. Thank you, Dr. Hasanat!

The first day of class I was worried. Her syllabus reads "Degree of Difficulty: Extreme." As it turns out, Lit Theory IS a difficult subject, but Dr. H will get you through it. One of the BEST professors at UCF. Her breadth of knowledge is incredible, but she never talks down to you. To her, an answer is never wrong as long as you can back it up!

I love professor H. She is a cool, funny, and laid back lady. She is very helpful, and says that she wont let anyone fail. She wants you to participate, do well in the class, and to have fun! She gives out candy too! Highly recommended. Im taking her for every other english class I can.

GREAT PROFESSOR!! She is soooo uber helpful and nice, she's like a mother to her students. There are about five short papers only two pages long, a few tests and then a final. It is a hard subject but because you have so many grades you can count on at least a B if you try. I am taking her again for English Lit 2. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!

I absolutely loved Dr. Hasanat!! The first day seemed overwhelming with reading and papers, but she's a lenient grader and she always gives her students the benefit of the doubt. Her intellect is very attractive and she's simply a sensitive and excellent professor.

AMAZING!! she was one of the nicest, funniest, helpful professors i've ever had. you have to work and pay attention, but the class is not boring so it's fine. if you can get her i would def recommend it!

Cool woman but as a teacher...bleh. The work/topics were pointless/annoying. Felt like 9th grade all over again. Its a good cruising class i guess.

Great and easy professor! Class was one of the easiest I have ever taken. If you want a class where you don't have much work, highly recommend this class.

If I never have to read romantic poetry again, I'll not shed a tear, but at the same time, Dr. Fay made this subject bearable. This was the second class I've had with her. She's very nice, funny, and helpful. Regardless if literature is your thing, or if you're just taking it because it's a requirement, I strongly recommend Dr. Fay.

This class was one of the more memorable classes at UCF. Dr Fay is one of my favorite UCF professor; she is smart, kind and truly cares about her students. I would highly recommend BritLit2 (esp if you like poetry). I learned a lot from her. Of course the text (Norton Anthology), is classic!

Dr. H. is by far my favorite professor. She makes the subject entertaining, because she is extremely knowledgable, and does not waste time. The assinments and quizzes are not very hard at all. I would recommend her to anyone who needs or wants to take an English literature class. Just make sure you show up to class.

Amazing professor. Knows her stuff and is so helpful. Very understanding, too. I visited her office with help on a paper and she was so incredibly nice. There's a lot of work in the class, but it's manageable. Made me LOVE Victorian lit, which I was not expecting. I definitely recommend taking Dr. H!!

AWESOME!

Dr. H is great, she is patient and willing to work through any problem you may have in the course. I've learned a lot in her class, more so than a lot of ucf classes. She's terrific.

It's easy for the subject (lit theory) to be boring but she delivers the info nicely. She's also really sweet, will work with you. If you show up to class she'll grade accordingly. Also, she's super nice and friendly!

Dr. H is an incredible woman. She's extremely intelligent, but not intimidating; actually, she's one of the more approachable professors that I've had. Her class could easily be boring given the amount of theory covered, but she's able to keep the interest up. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Hasanat is simply incredible. Her presence commands the attention of a room and her intellect is baffling. She takes a relatively complex field, theories of literature, and works to make it not only accessible to students but as fun and as interesting as possible. She adores what she does and all she wants is to communicate it to her students.

Dr. H is awesome. She is super helpful and is incredibly intelligent. I was pleasantly surprised with the Post Colonial class that she has taught it in an interesting, approachable way. I really liked that she incorporated humor into what could be really boring material. I recommend her to anyone in the English track.

Extremely helpful, and willing to work with students. The online class is very fast paced, and not all that clear of a syllabus, but she definitely has the patience!!!

I took her half online/half in person. She rambled quite a bit and sometimes I felt extremely confused about the theories she was teaching, and she was unclear about some of the assignments. Having tests/quizzes online was nice but she does use trick questions a lot.

This class was enjoyable. The professor is hilarious and down to earth. Her assignments are fair and most of her directions are pretty clear. If you need help, she is easy to talk to. I would get the text because it helps on quizzes but some may find that they don't need it. Also, go to class so you don't miss anything !

I highly recommend taking her in person as she is somewhat scatter-brained. Overall, she is an incredibly intelligent woman. I see a lot of complaining about her clarity, but I found her analogies in theory easy to understand/helpful. Do not take a class with her if you are not a disciplined learner. (What are you doing in college, anyways?)

Very nice, and very intelligent but a little scatterbrained. I had Practical Criticism with her and she was very understanding about our class's attitude toward the subject, and very funny about her own dislike about it. She misspells things sometimes, but don't take that as her being inept.

Easy A. Keep up with the reading, notes, & assignments, it's a breeze. She's really courteous and funny. Very helpful in clarifying theories that are hard to grasp. I actually looked forward to doing the work for this class every week. One of my favorite college courses I've taken because of this professor.

Took her class online. Class wasn't an easy A, but it wasn't as tedious as others have mentioned. As long as you show her you're making an effort, she helps you in any way she can. One thing I can say for sure is she's a more than fair grader.

Took her class online. Class wasn't an easy A, but it wasn't as tedious as others have mentioned. As long as you show her you're making an effort, she helps you in any way she can. One thing I can say for sure is she's a more than fair grader. Do the work and you'll pass the class.

She is a great professor. Her class wasn't an easy A, but it wasn't as bad as others have mentioned. If you do the work and show her you're trying, she's more than willing to help you. She's also more than fair when it comes to grading.

Nice intro to literary criticism. Short writing assignments keyed to Neil Gaiman's _Sandman_ volume 4 allowed us to use the theories. Term paper on Kenyan author Ngugi's classic _Weep Not, Child. Thorough notes supplementing the text. Helpful. Online, so little interaction but we got to read each other's short papers ("blogs") which I enjoyed.

She's the best! She gives notes and the exact answers to tests and quizzes are in there and the book. I completely forgot about taking my final exam and I never asked her if I could still take it but she took it upon herself to email me and keep it open for me till grades were due. LOVE HER!

Immediately felt welcomed into this online course by Prof. Hasanat- very kind) she makes the course fun and interesting! LOADS of reading , start early DO NOT procrastinate!lAlso lots of discussions and essays, if not good writer, utilize the writing center, get help : I am going to in the future

she is the best. her class is tough and her quizzes are tough but she will help you if you really try. she wants to push you and wants to see you succeed.

ENG 3014 and Gothic Literature; Dr. Hasanat is a wonderful professor. She's especially understanding and lenient, if you reach out. Yes, her methods are sometimes a little unconventional (she's aware), but she knows her material. But her courses are difficult, you need to put in the work and stay on top of it. If she's confusing you, ASK QUESTIONS

Dr. Hasanat is a wonderful professor, hilarious, fair and caring. However, when it comes time to take quizzes/test don't just rely on her notes but study the Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice text as well (the material is taken from both).

Dr. H is one of my favorite professors, despite a large amount of coursework. Every semester I specifically look for classes by her. She's a very generous grader and always happy to clarify something if you reach out. Tests are open note. Extra credit opportunities. Witty. Types *hugs* at the end of announcements. Sympathetic to student life.

Dr. H is an angel. When Irma hit and most of us were out of power, she either extended deadlines until the end of the semester or cancelled assignments altogether. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. This is my third class with her, and if she had another class available I'd take her again next semester.

Dr. Hasanat is one of the best professors I ever had. She is very kind and extended deadlines during hurricane Irma to help her students recover. She gave helpful feedback on assignments and encouraged students to reach for their potential. When discussing Victorian Lit she recommends text to further reading (The Awakening by Chopin).

Took Dr. Fayeza Hasanat's Gothic Literature class. Informative course with hilarious lectures detailing knowledge from the Goth's early history to current gothic novels. Hasanat is an amazing professor who extends deadlines, is willing to work with her students so they suceed and is very knowledgable. Defintely recommend her for any English Major.

Took British Authors: Brontë which covered the novels of Charlotte, Anne and Emily Brontë (excluding the novel Agnes Grey). Dr. Hasanat is one of the best English Literature professor at UCF and is a real treasure. Hilarious, kind and considerate of her students. Be prepared to read and write a lot, from short 300 word blogs to 1,000 essays.

Took Gothic Lit' and loved her course! Sure, her quizzes can be a little tricky and, yes, you have to write a lot of papers (if you're an English Major you shouldn't be surprised with how much writing you have to do) but her lectures were hilarious and informative (yes, there's spelling errors/colored notes) but she's amazing! Would take again!

Hated at first. Quizzes are confusing. Can get stressful waiting for grades/feedback on writing. If you are logic-orientated and need instant feedback, take a different professor. That said, Dr. H gives multiple attempts on quizzes and grades fairly. She is whimsical and creative. If you can relax while you do work/wait for feedback you'll be good.

A really sweet lady. As long as you show up and prove that you're hardworking, she'll go easy on you.

Black British Authors class contained informative lectures on the topics, including academic journals, videos, and notes. Unlike some other comments mentioned, Hasanat replied to my emails in a timely manner and, while her notes are colour-coded, they were nicely detailed and pertained to the topic being discussed. Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Hasanat's Black British Authors class was reading intensive but her notes (while colorful) helped in understanding the material. Easy to access outside of class and a very kind lady who cares about her students. Her writing can be a little sporadic, but that's because she writes them as if she were giving a lecture in class. She's awesome!

Interesting class. The books were a little difficult to get but Hasanat was lenient by only requiring students to purchase one book. Would take this professor again.

Hasanat's lectures were funny and very informative on Postcolonial theory. Would definitely take Dr. Hasanat again.

I had a really rough first half of the semester, and this was the last class I needed to finish my degree!!! I thought I was going to fail. Hasanat was understanding & allowed me a second chance to work for my grade. I wasn't asking for a free pass, and Hasanat allowed me to make up work when I was in a tough place. She was kind and respectful.

I would have like to have more feedback on assignments but this professor. Other than that, the class was straight forward and I enjoyed it. There is a lot of reading but she provided her notes of the texts, which is very helpful.

took online. didn't find the material difficult and I didn't need to E-mail her because it's pretty straightforward. We had discussions (didn't have to respond to other people), music critiques. You do the modules when you like- the dates are weird in a good way. The test are tricky wording. 2 kinda lengthy novels to read. EC. Id take again.

Great classes, but her tests are though. Her wording for questions tends to be convoluted and unclear in relation to learned material. Papers also tend to require way too many references, in my opinion. The amount of quotes needed makes it difficult to convey your own words and thoughts on the novels. Overall fun class, but beware the tests.

Prof. Hasanat is an extremely intelligent lady, and so sweet and fun to talk to. Her lectures are a lot, so pay close attention, and it can be a little difficult to get your mind around the concepts sometimes. But if you're willing to work for it, and ASK QUESTIONS, it's totally worth it. I had fun!

This class really opened my mind to a lot of different things. You must be open to reading though because we read pretty difficult theories and then wrote papers/discussions and took exams. My writing skills have definitely improved because we review other students as well. Loved this class.

Professor Hasanat is an excellent teacher! I've taken her twice. This time I took her class Gothic Lit. There's a lot of reading, but she gives you enough time to do it. She gives multiple attempts on quizzes. And she gives great feedback and interacts with the class. She was a pleasure to have as a professor!

Dr. Hasanat was great! The course is very text heavy, however in my many classes with her she has provided the textbooks. There are a few writing assignments based off lectures and 600 words, and "Short Essays" that are 1200 words, excluding quotations. You have to put in the work for this class but I found audiobooks on Youtube to be a big help!

There is a lot of reading. Sometimes it can be confusing but Dr. Hasant gives you enough time between assignments and modules to read required books and fully grasp the subject. The quizzes and final are open-book. This course is very reading heavy and if you aren't ready for that don't take the course. But if you work hard you can learn a lot!

Refreshing, upbeat attitude in lessons and quizzes Lectures can be read and reread as needed Explains complicated ideas in simple language Emphasizes the fact that perfection is impossible, shows in grading DO THE READING. I failed when behind on reading, this time got an A All assignments due one day per week, great to go at your own pace

She's incredibly sweet and helpful. My only criticism is that I wish we received some more feedback on our papers, as the rubrics often weren't enough to tell me what I could do better.

I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Hasanat! I do wish she gave more feedback, but she seemed really genuine and caring (even online). Quizzes were open book and allowed 2 attempts. There were ~6 papers + a research paper. We read 6 novels + a textbook, so if loads of reading isn't your jam, pick another class. Overall, easy A if you try.

I love Dr. Hasanat. I took her for the British Authors course, focusing on the Bronte sisters. There are a fair amount of novels to read (and yes you have to buy/find them on your own), and there is a lot of writing, but as long as you actually read the novels you should be able to write about them no problem. Definitely would take her again.

Dr. Hasanat is one of the best professors at UCF. She cares about her students and goes the extra mile for them. Do the reading and be ready to participate in class. Make sure to be ready for the quizzes

Her lectures can be messy but she usually posted clearer notes after class. Tough grader but it helped me improve my writing a lot. Very passionate about literature and cares for her students. Just take notes during class & read the book and you'll be fine. About 6 papers total and a few quizzes. I adore her but she's def not for everyone.

Dr. Hasanat is one of the most caring and understanding professors I have ever had. I took this course during summer, so the class was condensed. When she saw that we were having a packed week, but the next week looked clearer, she would extend deadlines to make sure that we could be set up to succeed and have enough time. Loved her class.

She is a wonderful professor! Very understanding and lenient (within reason!) and really just wants you to take in the material. Her assignments are challenging, yet not excessive. It's college... you can expect to write and read a ton! Overall, her course was very easy to follow and I would 100% take her again :)

Dr. Hasanat is a beyond-caring teacher who truly cares about her students. She tries to keep workloads low and is easily accessible and understanding, just in case something comes up. She offered an extra credit opportunity and rounded up grades for anyone within 5 points of the next grade. Heavy on textbook assignments, so they're very necessary.

I loved Professor Hasanats teaching style and class preferences for this required class. She truly reads assignments and cares about all her students progress and use of the class for future requirements like grad school. Attendance was mandatory but classes were laid back and mostly peer oriented. Overall she was an amazing experience as a teacher
