Dr. Asya is very helpful with teaching the class to organize papers and use sources in a research paper correctly. The text is required to be read outside of class, and you should read the text to learn what she will talk about in class. Short stories are also required and short quizzes are given in class.

Incredibly sweet-smart-and-caring professor. She creates friendly classroom atmosphere and treats you so well that you hardly wait for the next class. You have to read daily assignments and participate in class. She explains the course material clearly. Grading is fair but a bit strict on papers. Best and kindest advisor I've had for BU and beyond.

Professor Asya is an excellent communicator of ideas. Now a teacher myself, I still remember the topics, ideas, and books she taught in her classes. I took three of her classes. They were lifechanging experiences for me both personally and academically. You are lucky if you can take a class she teaches.

Dr. Asya was a gem. She was downright honest. She had the best method to approach teaching and students. She advised me to take a minor in education and that took me where I am now. She was my mentor. Now she's my model for teaching my own students. BU should have professors like her. All in all, she's the best of all. Thank you prof. Asya.

You learn writing by reading stories. The stories give you ideas for writing. She assigns many short papers and reads everything you write and gives you detailed feedback. She is a bit meticulous, but you learn a lot from her. She is very understanding when it comes to deadlines. She is also very helpful if you go to her office hours. Excellent!

The class was super engaging and prof. Asya was an exceptionally kind person. She set up the class so that everyone was engaged in the discussions. I took her class during my sophomore year, but she never forgot my name and said hi to me whenever I met her on campus. She is an extraordinarily intelligent person with a big heart. Great advisor too.

Dr. Asya is the smartest and best person I've ever met in life. Her class is the most interesting ever I took. The topics, writers, readings, discussions we covered in her class on American writers in Paris changed my life. Talk to her at least once and/or take her course before you graduate. She also has the most beautiful smile. Don't miss out.

Caring, enthusiastic, and encouraging of her students and what she teaches them, all in all professor Asya was my favorite professor. I took both writing and literature from her and learned a lot. She shared her work with us, and we learned that she is also a real scholar. She is very friendly and nice. Talks to students all the time on campus.

She was an amazing professor and person, and I loved her. I've never come across anyone who cared about students like her on campus of now named Commonwealth. She was kind and understanding. I worked part time and went to college. She always remembered it and asked me how I was managing my time. She helped me in class, papers, and office hours.

Dr. Asya was a super conductor of energy and good will to her students. My writing improved thanks to her continuous feedback and encouraging comments on my papers. I tutored at the writing center, because she advised and recommended me. I'm on my way to teaching my own classes now, all owing to her. She is a gem. Take her courses. Don't miss out.

Ferda Asya is the cutest human that I've ever met. Her jokes in class were sometimes so hilarious that I noted them to share with friends. She is also very kind and understanding. She was very smart with online issues and helped us on zoom meetings. I wish the class was in person. She said "have a good life" to us at the end. Have a good life prof.

Most inspirational prof and class I've taken. At the beginning I thought I disliked her and the topics she taught, but gradually both grew on me and I couldn't wait to go to class. I loved the way she listened to all of us and responded to all we told her. She wrote everyone a farewell note at the end of the year and made sure we knew she cared.

Loved her lectures and discussion style. She never called on us. We spoke when we had something to say. She gave midterm evaluations and took our comments and suggestions seriously to conduct the class. She made everyone welcomed and important in class. You definitely end better than you have started in her class. She listens all you tell her.

This prof was the best I've taken at BU. She was savvy in everything you asked her. There was no hesitation in her answers to any question. She was too caring, sometimes you felt sorry for her caring for students. She read everything you wrote and listened to everything you said. She wants you to be good and succeed. I highly recommend her. A++

I loved every minute of Dr. Asya's classes. She was the most understanding and inspirational prof I took at Bloomsburg University. Her lectures were life changing experiences I've never had in any class. I was a science major, but she made me love literature and writing. I now not only write better but think and act better thanks to her. Thank you.

Dr. Asya was hands down my favorite professor at Bloomsburg. I took her three years ago, and now every time I read a book, I remember the class and her enthusiasm of teaching it. She assigned a TON of reading, but she was so invested in her students and class that it made you WANT to read and participate as to not let her down. Definitely take her!
