Come on she's a joke. Her class is a joke. Complete waste of time and a big hit to your GPA.

She is not very effective as an instructor, not to mention the fact that she is extremely rude and condescending.She mentioned at one point the fact that she had a doctorate, well that doctorate definitely does not qualify her to be an instructor.

Not only is she boring, if you do decide to listen her lectures are unclear, useless, and she refuses to listen to your questions or comments. I regret taking her class, it was a big waste of time.

If you value you GPA, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!! In a class of about 40 only like 3 people got grades above a C. Not understandable; thick Indian accent! She can't lecture, doesn't answer questions effectively, and her tests and quizzes will kick your A$$.

She is a bad teacher. She talks more about other things outside of the subject in class than outside the class. She needs to be more clear. She talks to silently.

Okay ijust got done taking her philo class in spring. she is one of the worst teachers i've ever had in my LIFE! she rants more about grading in the class than information she should be giving us about religion. aweful lectures always goes off subject.

avoid her. she is crazy. hard tests, not undrestandable, not clear, goes off subject. moody and rude. she even lied to us about being the chair of the department which she wasnt. in early morning classes she is always late. really hard grader.

SHe is so unfair and unclear. She lets people who get D's and F's re-take their test while people who get C's and B's dont. Unfair turnout at the end when people who got only F's get an A for the sem. As you can see i wasn't one of them. SOOOO UNFAIR!

She was difficult to understand, often incomprehensible. Couldn't answer questions. Her grading was awful. How she is still teaching is beyond me; when I start teaching I'm going after her job.

If you want to receive an F than take her class. I have never experienced a professor like her. She makes the class feel inferior and not to mention you will not learn anything in her class.

Okay kids!!! She is a bad teacher and she is also boring and anoying. She talks more about other things outside of the subject in class than outside the class. I’m taking her class right now Pilo 101 and it is very hard; not understandable. I regret taking her class. DO NOT TAKE HER

NO, NO, NO....

everytime i go in there i think about killing myself because she is so boring. isnt really well prepared for the class. borrows my book for lectures because she is an idiot for forgetting hers. You can tkae the class without her if you just read out of the damn book. just no.

OMG.. this lady doesnot know anything about phil. she talks and talks and talks.. shes soo boring and unclear.. doesnt know how to clarify questions.i didnt learn anything. trust me.. stay AWAY from her..or take a pillow to her class..

Everything everyone says is true. Worst teacher I have ever encountered.

horrible teacher. terrible teaching skills--or lack thereof. enough said.

Worst teacher I ever had in my 7 years of college and a masters degree. She allowed students to cheat on tests and when I asked her what I did wrong on an exam she said I should figure it out myself. Ask her about her niece and you'll get an "A". NEVER take her!!!!

She talks about nothing that has to do with the subject and is very unclear about her lectures and notes. She is not helpful at all when you try to approach her. She is boring~ She should not be teaching at all!!! DO NOT TAKE HER~!

Shes not really like a bad teacher, but she has a horrible teaching style, she doesnt really explain anything clearly. Most of the time she went off the subject with stories about her daugther. I would recommend taking Randal Parker instead.

She's one of the two worst professors I've had at GCC. She, literally, CAN NOT teach. She's terrible about giving clear and concise reasons as to what's wrong with your in-class essays. She's ridiculous; an insult to the profession of teaching. I received a decent grade, 'B', but I know many didn't.

Awful professor. Borderline verbally abusive to her students. Does not teach or explain anything. Is always late to class and then keeps classes late. Her tests are OK (hard but still manageable) however I would not encourage anyone to take her due to her rudeness and lack of teaching skills.

It's not a question she of being a hard teacher, it's a question of she not being able to teach at all. She looses homeworks, is unorganized, late to class everyday, and gives you 8 different questions to study from which she will choose 1 during the test day to write on. A horrible human being. Disrespectful to students.

My ability to comprehend and follow directions are, in the opinion of others, excellent. But when she lectures... i'm so lost...

This teacher has to be among the worst I've ever had. She is very unclear, condescending, and lacks basic human decency for her students. She didn't show up to her office hour and fought with me in class about an essay,after I suggested I should meet with her in her office. Also NEVER told me what she wanted or how to improve.

I was very disappointed with this class. Dr. Gupta is consistently late. She is disorganized and gets extremely defensive in discussion. She easily goes off topic and seems to be lazy in the way she teaches. She does not stay on schedule nor does she thoroughly explain what she expects from her students. This class was very disappointing to me.

I dont really know about the way she teaches because i am LOST during all her lectures but i do know that professors can not talk about their family problems all the time and use them as an excuse to come late, lose homework and miss the final day.

Is there a way we can petition for her to lose her teaching license.... Damn this teacher sucks. Abortion this.... My Neice that my god someone shoot me!!!! I dont know how shes been teaching as long as she has shes worthless

The worst teacher I've had at GCC. Her tests were difficult & did not pertain to the lectures. It was a waste of my time going to her lectures. Philosophy is an abstract subject & needs a good teacher to make it comprehensible & she's not the one to do it.

sooooo boring. I was really disappointed because I was interested in the subject, but I didnt learn anything. She is a nice person but a really bad teacher and she gives a lot of homework and there is a quiz every week sometimes twice a week. All the tests are essay form. It was a drag.

Don't get her unless you're planning on learning everything yourself - if you are, she's a great teacher because you can just zone out during class and do all the work on your own time. I ended up dropping because she confused me so much.

Ive only had her a few day...she already cancelled a class!! I have no idea whether I have hw and I slept in class due to her story telling. The only reason why I have two 5's is because I like Philosophy...to any future student...dont take her class unless you cant help it.

She is such an terrible teacher that I had to drop half way through the semester--she doesn't explain the material AT ALL and her tests have nothing to do with what she talked about. She also doesn't give appreciation to people who try to share their opinions, she just tells them that they're wrong.

Gupta is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. She doesn't do any teaching whatsoever, she simply has us read out of the textbook (Which is a pathetic excuse for a scholastic publication), and then spew it back at her. She goes off on tangents during class that have nothing to do with the topics, and is belligerent to anybody with a different interpretation of a religion even though she lectures us about being openminded. She's already cancelled 1 class and has been late to more than half the classes.

arrogant, condescending, self-centered, late every day, unhelpful, unfriendly..i would never take another classes, whcih is sad because i love school and love philosophy

simply the worst teacher i have ever had. Cant understand her and the text is impossible to understand. Sad excuse for a teacher and really really unpleasant to look at.

i am sure the guy who wrote those nice things about her had a deal with her, or she paid her to write it, she is really bad teacher, i am an A student and no matter how hard i studied my final grade was C, and she even missed the final, she FORGOT,she didt even say she was sorry,do yourself a favor and dovt take her class b/c youll be disappointed

This woman is the worst teacher that I have had yet. She goes off on tangents way too often and at some points when she is teaching, it seems like she doesn't understand the concepts of her teaching. She forgets to give homeworks and assigns us the four that she missed to turn in the day of the final. Terrible communication skills and lecturing.

BAD communication skills. Frequent tangents in lectures. BAD lesson planning. Lack of knowledge of the subject. BAD choice of textbook. Homework / Quizzes / Exams involve regurgitation, not analysis. Expectations / instructions are NOT explicit. No website / online syllabus / schedules / notices. This prof made a great subject an awful experience

Mumbles and doesn't explain concepts well, then when she grades your test, she nails every one with barely passing grades. Avoid at all costs!

bad bad bad...she talks about her family and dosen't explain well and bad grader..avoid her she is bad news

Self centered, unhelpful,unfriendly, bad communication skills and a BAD grader....She is the worst teacher I have ever had. I love philosophy but she made me hate it...AVOID HER she is bad news.

This is a very bad teacher. She is not faire for grading. She only likes someone who is nice to her in class. Don't take her any class.

worst teacher ever!!!!!!!!

She lost my blue book for one mid term...then she marked me absent for my final when i was there and have proof of it...after she realized she messed up she still failed me because she took half points off my mid term because she said it was late....She's CRAZY!!!

Definitely do not recommend taking this teacher. She is extremely boring and i had a hard tme staying awake. The key to the class is reading all class material and understanding every concept.Must attend class everyday. Not an easy A and she likes participation. You either hate this class and the teacher or love it. I hated it.BORINGGG>>>>>

Terrible teacher...absolutely horrible and the most boring ever!!! She is very unclear and if SHE screws something up it is always the student's fault.

R U kidding? you expect good discussion in class? U won't get it. By the book. study on your own! she's okay but about as interesting as watching cement dry.

If you ever wanted to turn someone off philosophy, forever, enroll them in Gupta's class. She stands up in front of the class, reads directly from the text, babbles and paraphrases for literally over an hour. I don't think i've been more bored in my life.

I took Mrs GUptas philosophy 101 class two times and both times she failed me. The first time i understand it was my fault i missed alot of class but second time i wrote the mid terms perfect and she would still fail me. BORING CLASS DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS UNLESS YOU WANNA STRUGGLE

nice person, HORRIBLE - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE - teacher. She does not do ANY teaching at all. Class is complete waste of time. 100% of learning is done on your own at home - she teaches ABSOLUTELY nothing in class. YOU have been warned. Tests are straightforward and not too hard if you study.

Very nice Lady, terrible teacher. She told too many of her personal stories, and got off topic. She repeated some of the same stories 2 or 3 times. She didn't return any graded homework, quizes or tests until a few weeks before the semester finished, no feedback was available, limited chance to improve ones grade. Avoid this teacher if you can.

GUPTA IS THE WORST TEACHER YOU WILL EVER TAKE!!!!it is a self taught class she does nothing to help you,all you do is listen to her argue about students talking in class,i never once saw her stand up from her chair even to write on the board. she doesn't make it interesting and you will kill yourself if you take this class...DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!

WORST teacher AT GCC!every time you go to class you have to do group discussions which basically means you're classmates are teaching you not the teacher.you won't understand anything.HORRIBLE teacher.she doesn't teach philosophy how you think it would be...there's no talk of the chicken or the egg theory.all you do is read/study theories.AVOID HER

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? I'll never know because all she went over are BS theories that are of no interest to me. Hardest teacher I've had so far and I regret taking her. RateMyProf will be my friend for upcoming teachers (especially Philosophy) since I have to retake it. Thanks for the D!

Terrible teacher. Absolutely terrible. Unhelpful, lectures are unclear and off tangent. Worse, she disappears from the classroom almost everyday for 15-45 mins. Pretty much it's just the book and the tests, forget about learning anything from her. Might as well not go to class, read the book, and show up for the tests. Waste of money and time

This professor was rude to students, announced to the class when someone received an "F" (included the namne) Wouldn't work with you after class. She believes only in her own voice. Do NOT take this class. Even if there are no options.

Horrible professor...you might as well not take the course because you will be teaching yourself. With such a difficult subject for most people, you'd think they would put a somewhat understanding person to teach the subject matter. She is of no help to anyone and does not clarify anything.Not only that, but she is the Head of the Philosophy Dept!

THE WORST philosophy professor i have ever come across. Im a philosophy major and i right away i could tell that she didnt know what she was doing. she would brake us up into groups and make us read the book while she sat in her desk and read the book along with us. she didnt even lecture. Sexist-hypocrite is an understatement.

DO NOT! Take this teacher. She grades off her bias & her emotions dictate wether she decides to participate in teaching. She constantly loses students work/ tests! She doesn't give clear instruction & always rants about her personal life! Idk how she is still teaching. She's a horrible teacher. Just look all the pages of comments below.

A TERRIBLE TEACHER! I made it a huge point in my life to come to this class on time every week (2 days a week) for the first two months! The teacher was never prepared for class, would go off on stories that never circled back to the topic of philosophy, would say a test or quiz was one day and then push it back! NEVER TAKE HER! She is terrible!

Been at GCC for almost 4 years and never have experienced a teacher like this. Simply, the worst. Never prepared. Learned more about her life stories like her fathers than actually Philosophy. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She abuses her head of philosophy position too much. Its a disgrace how a head of a department can be so lazy.

You will be teaching yourself philosophy if you take her class. GCC has some great philosophy professors, Gupta is not one of them, stay away and take philosophy with Bie you won't regret it. She may be a nice lady personally, but as a teacher she gets an F. TRUST ME - STAY AWAY from her class if you can.

Well in all fairness I have no idea about how easy or not she is because I only stayed 3 days. However the reason for this is simply because she is poor at conducting a classroom. When she could be teaching she will spend literally 1/3 of class time explaining why people "chit-chatting" stop us from learing. Not her reapeating herself 12 times.

DO NOT TAKE HER UNLESS YOU WANNA DO TEN TIMES THE WORK YOU ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE TO DO FOR ANY NORMAL PROFESSOR! SUPER HARD AND I AM A STRAIGHT A STUDENT! Unclear!!!!

Horrible teacher. All over the place with her lectures.

She is obviously wise and caring. However, she is (in my most humble opinion) not very good at teaching students. I would go so far as to say she is bad at what she does. You'll need to attend class because she takes attendance, not because you will miss out on good lectures. Just read on your own and understand the material. You can do well.

Horrible teacher. Stay away from her. Has problems with her memory. Essays are super hard. If you want to earn a good grade you have to learn the textbook by heart. Otherwise you will get not higher than C. GCC has to get rid of such kind of professors.

I got Bs and As and Cs on 10 of my quizzes and decent grades on my midterms. But this lady really was one of the worst professors I have ever had. She did not know how to teach. Had to do everything on my own read the material and if you didnt have everything memorized she would give you a C or a D. Most of the class got F's. Just try to avoid her

Gupta is very unorganized. Misses class often, always late, keeps you late, study guide is given to you and questions will be from there, if youre not good at BSing, this is not the class youll pass in.

Before taking this class I was REALLY excited to learn about philosophy of Religion and then my interest just went downhill. She is very unclear on what she wants on her midterm essays. She very often diverts from the topic of religion to her family. I am sorry to say she is not a very good teacher.

Do not take this class! Phil 101 was torture. Whatever you say is incorrect, even if you try your best you will be lucky to receive a C.

Do not take the class with this teacher! She always drifts off into her own life stories and doesn't teach you anything. Everything is all about what the students teach each other, so it all depends on you. You learn nothing from her. I definitely do NOT recommend her!

Gupta is so unorganized, shes all over the place. usually freshmans are forced to take this class since nothing else is available. She never stayed on topic.. the reason she talks about her life so much is so you guys bring in examples of your own and "relate it" to the topics shes teaching. Hardest and worse teacher. EVER.

This "teacher" is the worst Glendale College has to offer. She constantly drifts of topic and tells stories of family members and friends that have just died. Every single class! She tries to preach more then teach, and questions are not allowed! It's not rare that there won't be a single A in the class on an exam!

All I can say is wow, unorganized all over the place and very forgetful. The only thing you have to do to learn in her class is focus all you attention on your txt book, she will talk about family and other topics. This class is about teaching your self, not learning from a teacher

The only C i got was in this class. There's no set curiculum of any sort, and you don't really understand much other than what you read in the book. I wouldn't advise this class to anyone. I really love philosophy but i didn't get that investment back this semester

WITHOUT A DOUBT the worst teacher on campus. If your goal is straight A's, she'll make your life hell. She is probably the most unorganized & outdated person I've ever met. She is always off topic a&nd is very unclear. Her tests are practically impossible to get A's on. I studied a lot for the tests, & I got 2 C's & a D. TRUST ME. DON'T TAKE HER!

Had to teach myself philosophy. Lectures are either paraphrasing from the text or about her family. Prepare to write your essays ahead of time before exams, and participate to get your daily points. Slowest class ever

If you're passionate with the subject you will not be dependent on the teaching capability of a teacher. However, most students are intimidated with this class, so it is paramount to have a competent professor that can guide students through a class that tackles conceptual ideas. With that said, she doesn't have the drive nor the skill to teach.

I ended up getting an A in this class, but let's just say she's one of those professors that just doesn't want to give As on examsin class. Most of the time there's little to no feedback about your exam grade so ur left with no idea of what you need to improve on, etc. Her lectures are unorganized, go off topic, and the list goes on lol. Avoid!!!

No point in attending class. All the learning you get is from personal reading. Dont take class! By far the most difficult professor I have taken in my life. Test is purely based on intense memorization (detail for detail) on a lot of theories and writings. The studying required makes studying for Calc 2 looks like a walk in the park.

This class was an absolute nightmare. Professor Gupta is the queen of asking for one thing when she wants another. She never clarifies what she wants, she is very unorganized, and she leaves you with more questions than answers. The essays are a waste of time unless you LITERALLY memorized the entire book, word for word. Would not recommend.

Dont take her you have to memorize to pass the class if your an auditory learner I guess you will be fine but good luck.

This was one of the first classes I ever took at GCC. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone, honestly. She's not a mean person, but she honestly has no idea what she is talking about, so following lectures is a bit of a challenge. She also is incredibly hard to get ahold of.

The professor is a harsh grader, she expects you are able to write concise essays on what you learned and make sure you understand the concepts eve though she doesnt explain at all during lectures. She will literally tell stories of what shes done and assign groups you dont even use. Reading the book on your own and taking own notes is recommended.

I was never sure what was relevant to the class. Often she would just gossip or complain about her personal life. She assigns homework and then forgets about it, and in class assignments are impossible to complete because she talks the whole time that you're supposed to be working. Book was great though! Ecofeminism, Globalization & World Religion.

She will not give you an A. She is never clear on what she wants and honestly the way she grades is ridicules. Every time I would ask her why I received a certain grade, her response was every time I wanted more or some other reason why she didn't want to give me an A. An A seemed impossible. Good luck and take her with caution or don't take her.

Do not take her, you will not get an A.

Very very unclear this professor just talks and talk and talks. She is very unclear in what she wants and her grading scale. Never makes any sense and he test essay questions are very vague.

If you want to take a class where you will fall asleep in the first ten mins, then take her class. She is very unclear on her explanations. She does not have a lesson plan, this class is for students to self teach themselves. Follow the syllabus and you will at least pass. advice: DONT TAKE HER.

She is the worst Professor at GCC. I can't believe they let her teach.

She is easier on students she likes but picks apart others looking for a reason to lower your grade when there isn't any. She favors students, is not clear on what she wants, takes points off without reason, no clear grading criteria, and is so monotone that it made a subject I'm majoring in a living hell. She is the worst thing to happen to GCC.

She's not very good at teaching philosophy because all she does is to preach philosophy to her students. We don't need her to keep talking and talking because that's not philosophy. I think she believes herself to be some good philosopher or educator but she's not. Very dry teaching and makes philosophy very boring. Her SI leader is much better.

Worst professor I've ever had in my life! She is so rude and she doesn't accept any opinions from students. I got an F in her class and I have no idea how that happened since I tried hard to do good in her class, but it just wasn't possible.

Nice Lady. However she is a very tough grader. If you want an easy class do not take this class. I'm taking her right now and I regret not dropping it. If you are a lazy student like me then this class is not for you. You will have to teach yourself in this class because it's hard to understand her. She does not explain information well.

Worst professor I've taken in all my semesters at GCC. I'm a philosophy major and for an entire semester she managed to make me hate a subject that I love. Don't take this course. Grade is based on 3 midterms, one of which is dropped, a final, and a group project. Professor Gupta is extremely unorganized, repetitive, and lacks teaching skills.

She is a terrible professor! She doesn't teach at all, she's very close minded and doesn't like to hear other people's opinions. She just talks the whole class about personal stories about OTHER students. If you take this class prepare to teach yourself.

She spends all class time lecturing and goes off topic too often and for too long. She is unorganized and incompetent in her teaching skills. Grade is based on 3 midterms, final, journals, and participation. One of the midterms can be dropped. I dont advise taking her!

She's not clear on what she expects from you. If you HAVE to take her just remember to be as detailed as possible when taking the tests, literally don't leave anything out. There is no homework so you only know if you're doing poorly based on the tests, so by the time you get the second one back you've wasted half a semester. READ THE TEXTBOOK!!

Shes awful never take her class I had to drop with W I lost my passion in philosophy by taking it with her

PLS PLS DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I know we moved to online class but her lectures are not helpful at all. I am warning you, DO NOT TAKE HER. She is confusing, doesn't help you when you need help and she is not a good teacher. She goes off topic and never finishes her sentences. PLS DO NOT TAKE HER !!!!!!

Do yourself a favor and take this class at another school. It's not hard to get an A in the class if you do all the work, but she is the worst professor i've ever encountered. She never replies to emails, has a nasty attitude, acts sweet but really isn't and is incredibly disorganized. She also takes FOREVER to put grades in. Wouldn't recommend.

Gupta is THE WORST professor I have ever encountered. She is an unreasonable grader and doesn't explain anything. She often strays off-topic and has no sense of time. You will have to teach yourself in this class. It' hard to get an A because she knocks off points for the most trivial things. Do your self a favor and take this class elsewhere.

This was my worst experience in a class at GCC and I left the college after this class to go to another college in the area. Gupta is the most disorganized wandering professor with 0 connection to the text or any kind of grading criteria. I am a philosophy major and I fought with all my energy to get a B. Literally, worst class ever!

Do not take her class! I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! Lectures aren't interesting at all. Doesn't make them interesting. Gets off topic all the time to things that aren't relevant to what she's talking about nor what we are reading and the topics.

She has a really bad attitude towards teaching. Argues with students if they have a question about something, not clear at all on how she wants things done, speaks very boring and unclear, she probably didn't want to show up for our class at all

Don't take her class. She grades like it's the end of the world. On top of this, she is really vague. I would go on to explain further but I can't be asked.

She doesnt answer any questions when you need feedback, and never responds to emails. Ramble on her speeches in class

One of the worst professors I've taken. Her lecturing "style" is the worst I've come across - she simply asks many questions and expects students to answer of their own volition, she does very little teaching. Seems to take a lazy approach and would rather share a recorded "lecture" - but even those are vague and hard to go through.

This professor and class are a giant oof. Honestly do not take this class. The professor is the worst in terms of communication, tech ability, lecturing, etc. Everything about this made me grit my teeth and just hoped that I passed. Her grading is rediculous!

She was one of the worst professors I've ever had and one of the worst classes I've ever taken. Do yourself a favor and don't take this class. It was a stressful class.

If you want to ruin, your GPA take her class. This class was very unorganized and very confusing. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS because you will definitely regret it!

Nope! Don't even think about it. This was one of the hardest classes I have taken at GCC. Not only does the professor never respond to emails, but the class is incredibly unorganized. She grades very harshly and never gives good feedback for the exams.

She does not respond to emails, she is clearly a tough grader, she is aggressive enough, lectures are based on a plain reading of the book. Also, she doesn't know that it is an intro class and demands you to have more knowledge. You may need an intro class to an intro class.

Absolutely terrible as an online professor. She has no idea what she is doing. I'm sure she's decent in person but stay away from her online classes. She is also incredibly rude to people who are asking simple questions about the syllabus and tests.

DON'T TAKE HER! Quizzes and essays were incredibly difficult. I started out with an A and it started to drop very rapidly. Her lectures are long and boring and she goes off topic a lot. Garbage professor. Good luck if you made the same mistake I did with taking her as a Professor.

She doesn't know how to use technology. No slides, screen sharing, breakout rooms, doesn't even know how to check the chat. She makes you type "hello" on the canvas chat box, then calls out names to verify when she can easily copy the log. She makes you read the textbook in class and her exam grading is not clear. This is coming from a 4.0 GPA.
