He's a young teacher, who grades conservatively. He designs this course to be slightly harder than most professors, it's psuedo Harvard style.

NICE TEACHER, BUT TOUGH GRADER.
A real nice teacher, but seems that he wants the image of being a hard teacher. Doesn't like to give many "A"s. Believes that it's not all about the grade. Easy to sit in class, but he like to talk about one essay but then will be talking about another assignment without you catching it. Confusing.
We used the book at first, then sort of gave up. As long as you work your butt off on the papers and try, you'll get an A. Make sure you know how to do works cited, annotated biblio, and citing a source within the paper. If you have any questions, stay after and talk to him. He'll help and he's a GREAT GUY. Bought us doughnuts on last day!
He is an awsome teacher. It is a very laid back class. We always end up rambling on about stuff for almost the entire class and yet it helps us in our essays. He is a tough grader though, but if you try hard and do all that you are assigned to do, then you should be fine.
good teacher, relaxed style and very approachable. if you listen to him and participate in class you will do very well
The main thing (if not the ONLY thing) you gotta worry about are the ESSAYS! There are a few like 5. Yes extra credit (ex: watch Borat -movie). Laid-back class, participation, kind, cool, major movie fan!, sometimes gets sidetracked by students. Recite a poem in front of class, talk about your book while in your seat. Bought Krispy Kreme- last day.
I had so much fun in his class, We did very little work and talked about movies the whole time. It was a class to just have fun, as long as you did the few assignments that he has.
Really enjoys what he does
Hes a nice guy and very smart. I liked his class and I think if you take advantage of his help you can learn a lot from his class. He's kind of bad about grading stuff and he'll tell you something is due one day but then forgets and doesn't expect it due for another week or two which can be frustrating if you do your work ontime.
He really cares what you do BUT to critical. He comes from California, so he does not understand how the system is here in Las Vegas. So students did not have the caring teaching like he did in California.
Mr. Pant is a great teacher. At times he may seem kind of scatter-brained, but if you ask him a question after class, or email it to him, he answers it to the best of his ability. He is a very nice guy, and very fun. The class is extremely fun, since he allows his students to debate or deeply discuss a subject.
Mr. Pant is very nice and makes a lot of class discussions which are fun if you get involved. He is very picky when grade his essays and his summary/critiques so don't make a lot of silly mistakes and you'll be fine.
Class itself is fun. Teacher is kind of creepy.
Mr. Pant is knowledgeable and grades tough but he allows rewrites and late papers :)
Professor Pant is a good teacher. His assignments are manageable if you can just get through them. He main focus is class discussion. He is open minded, though it is rare to get an A. He is a sort of scatter brained cute little indian man. Easy class, just keep up with your assignments.
Being that this was a online summer course, I have never met the man; however, he assignments are easy essay and reading assignment that he will promptly help with directional difficulties. He does require thought put into every assignment but is fair giving what is gained. He would have to be the best online professor I have ever had.
I took Dr. Pant's class as an 8-week course. There were a total of three 2-3 page essays due and one 5-page research paper. He gave very few smaller assignments. He dropped the lowest grade of the three essays as well. Great teacher and very willing to help with proof-reading and review of papers.
He does not know how to answer emails. If you take the online class be prepared to be frustrated. The 'discussions' are irrelevant and are usually not even reviewed. His actual class is probably much better.
He was a pretty awsome teacher. He mainly has you write about two or three essays for the semester and has a final research paper. If you dont do the final paper, you wont pass the class. overall, a good teacher
Very offensive and rude. Uses softwear to acuse you of plagerism. Papers are easy. Class time is spent listening to him ramble about the last movie he saw and how socially akward he is...
Fun to attend class=D.only class i dont get sleepy.he is willing to help you out on essays.His essays are bit too broad, so might be bit difficult to know exactly what he is looking for.Overall good teacher=)
Nalin Pant was a tough professor when it came to teaching and his essays were hard for me personally, but he was good at teaching. Hard, but good. He's fun at times too.
Nalin is awsome. He is a great teacher. He is very clear, helpful, and instructive. He is funny and constantly engages the class in discussions to stress the point of our assingments. He likes Justin Biber, but is not very fond of Megan Fox. Great teacher I highly recommend his classes.
If you are a person who likes feedback on an assignment before you start the next one-you will not get it from this professor. He took two months to even grade my first paper. In class he is too busy talking about what movies he likes to see and rables to much about things that don't even have to do with the subject.I do not recommend him to anyone
Rude! not helpful! Don't answer emails on time! Insults students! Never register with his class! He's the worst professor I've ever had! If you ask for clarification, you'll get insulted! Rude!Rude!Rude!
Worst teacher I've ever had! He didn't come to class 2 weeks in a row.. not an email nothing. and when he came back it was time for finals & our last paper was due. He is NOT helpful at all. He is often rude and offensive. Find another teacher.. it's not worth it taking his class.
He takes a long time to grade the work and dosen't respond to emails. It has been four weeks and my midterm is still not graded. He does grade good and is clear about the work.
Such a fantastic teacher! He made the class fun and interesting. I love this guy! Hes very lenient about due-dates, just make sure you actually do the work. He made a lot of relevant jokes and was very chill. I wish I could take him for 102 but its not available :( Hes good at teaching if you're willing to learn. He also makes many movie references
HORRIBLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL! Takes forever to grade assignments and NEVER responds to emails! The assignments are super easy....I had a 97 in the class the whole semester. I know I did good on our final project and exam but mysteriously I got a B in the course and when I emailed him asking about my grades he never responded! So annoying! DONT TAKE!
Never writes back to emails, and if he does it's too late. Takes for ever to grade your work. Took this class onl, so 's not like I could just walk up to him and say "hey..." Not helpful at all.
Great professor ! I am glad I got the chance to meet such a good professor. Very helpful! Answered all my questions and always gave me feedback towards all my essays. He always answered all my emails and concerns. I highly recommend this professor! Take him you won't regret it.
online class, slow to grade and answer emails, interesting readings and assignments, probably would be a better class to take in in person
Likely one of the worst online classes I've ever had. He makes an appearance to tell the class what the assignments are and then disappears. At the classes end, 80% of the essays were not graded; I still don't know what I got. I had to look at my transcript to see if I even passed the class. Will not respond to e-mail, and does not "teach". Avoid.
easy class. about 4 papers and 12 or so discussion posts... i only received the grade from my very first paper. after that the professor never responded to my emails. he said there was a final exam nut when i asked him about it he never responded and I never took one. Overall, an easy class but I never knew my grade till it was on my transcript
His class feels like a high school class. He's very helpful if you ask questions. Only downfall is he takes forever to grade assignments!
I'm taking English 101 online. I have taken other online courses and this class is the most unorganized garbage I have ever seen. There was actually an entire week where nothing was assigned. The teacher had basically forgotten this class existed. Only after talking to the chairman of the English department did anything change.
Worst teacher I have had this semester. He was MIA for about 2 1/2 weeks and then starts to grade papers 3 days after class ends. Messaged him on a few issues and did not get a reply. Avoid this teacher at all cost. Its a waste of money learning Eng from this person.
I have a love of English, but learned nothing in this class. He didn't assign work for weeks, and this was an 8 week class. He didn't respond to emails, and still, a week after class has ended, there are several papers that haven't been graded. Completely useless.
Prof. Pant is great. I have him for English 223 online and his assignments are super clear, and overall they are very easy. You read books and then watch their movie equivalent, write a few papers, and do some discussion posts. It's honestly the easiest class ever if you like to read and watch films.
Very helpful professor. He has a really easy class. His class has a lot of participation. Only problem is that I wished he just grades faster.
the BEST eng prof EVER! assigns two essays (3 pgs), one research essay (5-7 pgs). Three presentations, two of which are group presentations. He also has a few more assignments that are the simplest of all. Very interesting class topics and discussions. He makes sure everyone's opinions are voiced. Taken over summer 4 wk & it was very manageable.
He is a very good teacher I would recommend this class, the only thing is there are a few essays as expected and his a tough grader on them. But he gives a grade for going to the writing center and getting help from them with you papers.
Easy, fun class. Handsome guy.
He is very knowledgeble,enthusiastic...
He takes a while to grade papers
Professor Pant is a very good teacher. He makes learning English fun, very funny. He is a tough grader especially with grammar but helps in any way he can. He does take a while to grade essays which is annoying. Gives a lot of assignments and some quizzes which helps to bring your grade up if you don't do that well on essays. I recommend it.
I loved World Lit with Nalin Pant. There is a lot of reading involved, and as he said before every quiz, "You either read it or you didn't." He would tell you generally things you should know and understand about the reading, and that would definitely show up on the quizzes. He does take awhile to grade, but the grades do end up in the book.
awesome professor. I would recommend him to any student out there. The important key to remember is attendance never be absent and second just read the books and do the homework. I would definitely look into taking his class eng 231
If you turn in the essays and try you will get a great grade! Not a lot of tests or quizzes or assignments. You literally go to class to learn about the essay you'll be doing next. 5 essays total.
Good luck ;)
This is English 101 and reading and essays are required. The syllabus and outline are clear cut and to the point. Professor takes a while to grade papers or answer comments. I found my grade out by pulling transcript and tried to contact him because the grades were still not posted for me to review. Be aware and just call or email to stay on top!
I love Nalin's class! The only drawback is the amount of time it takes to receive your grade for your essays! He is great with everything else, clarity and reasonable with work. He is also a fast grader on all the assignments except essays! Expect not to know the grades of essays till the end or after the semseter
If I gave this class a LITTLE more attention I would've easily gotten an A+. First off, he gives a clear guideline with what he wants in the syllabus. So take note and stay organized and prepared for tests/quizzes. Honestly,most of the questions he asks on the test are pretty basic, so if you read the book (Sparknotes too) you will do fine.
He is cool. I took him online. I messed up grammatically and he let me redo it.
Easy online class. Majority of grade comes from four essays, so as long as you do well on those, you'll pass. There were technical difficulties with the program used, but he was very understanding and cool about it. The only downside is that he waits until the end of the course to grade essays, so you won't know what u did wrong until later.
The 4 week class was easy i guess. 2 essays 1 research 3 discussions. He didnt put grades for my essays so I didnt know my grade until I checked my transcript after the class ended.
I had him for ENG 101 online and I want him for ENG 102 so go for it. This course was very layed out for you if you do the work you will walk away with an A. the non research and the research papers you pick the topic he simply tells you some topics that are no goes. He is very understanding if something happens in your personal life he cares.
Great teacher ! Warning there are pop quizzes almost every single week; I have received bad grades on some of them but he gives you several extra credit options to bring it back up. Caring and over all great teacher ! Entertaining and kind as well. Be prepared to read as well !
Professor Pant grades really tough. Go to a tutor after you have already done mediocre on a couple of papers and you still receive a bad grade. Write your heart out and the professor has negative remarks about your paper. The toughest English 101 professor taken. Do not take this class if you other options for professors.
many books are required for this class to read. Not sure if he provides cheaper ways to access these, but I has to buy all my books. Fair grading, nice guy, fun assignments
He is an entertaining professor and very knowledgeable as well. Although you may do well in his class academically make sure that you go to class on time attendance counts HEAVILY in this class. Be prepared to read, give yourself time to digest the stories, you can learn a lot from this class.
Knowledgeable professor, but I am very unhappy with his performance as an expert. Delays grades for months, which doesn't help with future assignments. Don't know what I've learnt. No extra credit options. Get ready to read Afghan, Pakistan, and Hindu (India) based immigration novels. Would not take his class again.
This class is about what you'd expect, if not easy, for an english class. I really like all the books we read, connected to immigration. I'm glad it finally got me to read The Kite Runner! All you have to do is read the books and take a few tests and write a couple papers.
Relaxed atmosphere. Got through his class relatively easy. No textbook used. It is a requirement to go to the writing center for points. He is understanding and very charismatic. Most people that would complain about this teacher are the kind of people that never really wanted to try to begin with.
took online he does not respond to emails and takes forever to update grades. took forever for Midterm grades to be entered. he does not care about what's going on in your life so if you take him don't miss anything. he is usually not bad but it was like someone pissed him off this semester he just didn't care. know your format F if not followed
A great guy who wants you to succeed and has a clear syllabus. Read all of the assignments he assigns and pay attention to detail in the stories for his quizzes. Spelling counts!
Nalin is a really good English 101 instructor. He is a bit of a grammar nazi so make sure you go to the writing center for essays. He's very easy to talk to and he's good at giving feedback. If you are struggling on one of the assignments he makes sure to help you understand it. Good luck (:
Definitely recommend taking his class! It was one of the best college classes I have had so far. Everyone knew each others name and he created a great environment where everyone actually talked to one another. There was a lot of reading but it was possible to get done. He does not tell you when there will be a quiz so make sure you read! Fun class!
(ACTUALLY I TOOK ENGLISH 231 WITH HIM) This is literature so expect to read. There will also be pop quizzes that aren't so hard if you read. The readings are kind of hard to understand at first and they get easier throughout the semester. One group project that's very easy. He's very nice and understanding. Definitely recommend him.
Very nice professor and easygoing. Relax and warm environment in his class. But tough on essay grading. Writing center stamp is required. Grammar takes lots of points.
Although I found the syllabus to be mostly clear (he does not specifically say there is NO extra credit, but as it happens, no extra credit). From what I've been reading it looks like he's better in-person than online. Class is over but I still have no feedback or grades for my essays. Did I pass? No idea.
Professor Pant had an easy course but I felt like I had a robot for a teacher. Furthermore he took an unacceptable amount of time to grade the work & by the time you got it back you had already turned in other assignments so if you didn't know the material then you would get the following things incorrect as well. Easy A if you are decent at Eng.
This is the only english class I have ever been successful in. There is a lot of reading, but it is all short stories. Every essay needs a stamp from the writing center which gets annoying, but it honestly helps. I love his class and always leave feeling inspired. I wish he could be my eng prof for all of college, take him if you can!! (EASY A!)
Nalin Pant is a swell guy. He talks about different aspects of culture and how they can pertain to what we are reading or how it affects us in the real world. His quizzes are not that difficult, just read the material. Pant was a charming professor that you could talk about anything with.
This professor was one of the worst professors I've had. I happened to have taken his class during the coronavirus pandemic so our class was switched online. He was not helpful with his communications and even when we where in class he would always talk about things irrelevant. He grades essays in a very unjust way and never in a timely matter.
Amazing professor, one of my favorites! He created a fun and caring classroom environment as he actually makes you learn students names. His lectures were always super fun and I was never bored. Attendance is mandatory and try not to miss class, lots of quizzes you can't make up. Super caring professor, but takes a while to grade things.
Professor Pant is a really cool guy! He gives 5 pages worth of reading every week and goes over it each class with interesting discussions. There's no pop quizzes or hard tests. The atmosphere is very chill and participation is always appreciated.
took the online summer 4 week class. As someone who hates writing papers, I expected a lot of HW as its only 4 weeks but there were only 3 essays that were super simple, with 1 discussion post each week (super easy too) & a few more assignments but nothing overwhelming. If you do the work you'll easily pass, 100/10 recommend (great feedback too)
Nalin is decent as a teacher. He doesn't respond to your emails. He also is very picky with syntax. Was a bit irritating at times, but nonetheless I still got my A.
Expect a lot of reading with very little resources or help. Does not give good feedback. Gave us an essay test which lasted 30 minutes with THREE ESSAY PROMPTS. Very stressful course with A LOT OF READING.
This teacher has a very bad attitude problem. I would ask for help through email because my class is online and I would always get the most angry emails. Teacher was very disrespectful towards me. Also gives lots of reading and essays. And is a very tough grader. Do not ask for help unless youre looking for attitude . I took this class online.
He is not responsive and he grades so differently from the other teachers in the English department. I felt like I did everything wrong and as of right now I cannot tell you what my grades are for two papers and a few assignments. I have emailed him multiple times with no response. Good luck if you take him during the semester!
Id say this was an average professor. So much better than the current English professor I have, thats for sure. There wasnt too much homework to do each week but once we finished an essay, we would get started on a new one the same week. Criticism was solid too. Im not a good of a writer but I think this professor graded me fairly for my effort
Professor Pant is a good instructor. He is honest in his assessments and feedback and the module was fairly easy to follow along with. Overall I had a good experience and would take another class with him.
gives good feed back. However, he grades late. Assignments are not hard, but just be ready to read. You will pass his class if show up to class and study every now and then. One big writing paper that is worth 150 points&3 quizzes, but he gives you enough time. Attendance is not required, but strongly encourage.
Everything's fine. Show up, do the work, not much work honestly. However, always late on grading. This is my input but I my weakest link is english. I NEED* him to grade my assignments on time because how am I suppose to improve if I don't get feedback in time, and also apply it to the newer assignments.
He gives a big amount of work but it is a college class so it is expected, he can give you 5 assignments over the weekend, BUT they are easy assignments. He also really makes you interact with the class which is really great as you make new friends and get to network. Do the reading because he WILL have a pop quiz on it weather you read or not.
HE GRADES SUPER LATE YOU CAN'T TELL HOW YOU ARE DOING IN THE CLASS UNLESS YOU ASK YOURSELF. HIS READING ASSIGNMENTS ARE KINDA DARK AND GIVES POP QUIZES TO SEE IF YOU ACTUALLY READ IT. ONE TIME I ASKED FOR HELP WITH AN ESSAY HE SAID TO ME FIGURE IT OUT. I WROTE IT DOWN FOR YOU. I STILL NEED HELP WHEN HE SAID THAT TO ME I WAS OVER THIS CLASS.
I was so frustrated with this class! I really tried my best the whole semester, but it's impossible to improve when barely any of your assignments have been graded. The instructions are not easy to follow- to the point where he has to message the whole class to say everyone did it wrong. What is graded is very detailed though. Doesn't teach either.
I was very nervous going into this class since I am not a good writer, but his lectures were inspiring and helped open up my mind. He thoroughly goes through all steps for an essay as well. He gives short stories to read that link with the essays you will write later. There is a handful of discussions, but they really help with your essays.
Nalin is such a kind and caring professor. By the end of the semester, your class feels like a family. His essays are very straight forward and easy to write. No extra credit or late work allowed but the class is very laid back and easy. I don't know about online but the in-person class was so much fun.
this was my first english class since HS I came into class feeling I would do well, wrong he failed me on ALL essays.he was not good at giving feedback & told me what I did wrong instead of helping me improve. I stopped showing up to class, I felt discouraged. had to retake online during summer, chose a different professor & passed essays with A's!
I've taken a English class at a university and I try not to have a bias because I believe community college is for earning credits, not learning. But, this is not a real English class. He is terrible at grading on time. His feedback is just yapping. I wish he would try for his online classes.God bless to the newbies, you'll need it w this professor
I took this course online. He had very strict due dates and would not accept late work. My writing did get better; however, I am almost at the end of the class, and I am not sure what my actual grade is. Please be on time with his due dates. He does get back to you the next day when you email him. He is a hard grader.
He assigns reading each week and if you fall behind, you will not do well in his class. He gives pop quizzes after each reading so be ware. I appreciate that he tries his best to make the class interesting. He's a very friendly guy and makes it a point to learn your name. I dont like how many assignments there were and it was overwhelming at times.
Word of advise please take another professor. Grades super late gives pop quizzes does not help improve your essays just gives bs feedback. Does a lot for a 101 class and has an attitude. You don't even know how you are doing unless you ask. I stopped showing up to class because I got discouraged professors should help you improve not grade you.
I really enjoyed having Professor Pant as a professor for Eng 231. It seemed like he really cares for his students and wants you to get the best grade as possible. I also appreciated that he provided extra credit. I don't really enjoy reading but I actually really liked the stories we read in this class as well as learning about Greek mythology.
Professor Pant's class is a mixed bag - engaging lectures but disorganized grading. The readings can be a bit heavy, but unstuckstudy's summaries really helped. Overall, an average experience, though I'd take another class with him if needed.
He is really nice and very funny. The class isn't hard, you just need to complete all assignments because there is no makeup work. Only issue is he told us the final would mostly be on a certain subject and not much about the other stuff not true! You dont say this and do the opposite because it sets others up for failure! other than that great!
