A lot of people don't like him because he can be confusing but besides that he's a great teacher. He assigns a lot of papers but what else do you expect it IS an English class after all. His way of grading seems fair you can receive a B if you try and revise. He's there if you need him and likes to be involved. Great teacher.

He seems to be confused most of the time. It is his first year teaching, our class feels like he is experimenting on us. He tries too hard, his actions come out weird. Class is boring and akward. He needs more practice in teaching, because the infromation is unclear and you dont know your grade until the last day of semester.

He is always confused and seems to do a lot of things backwards. Many of his assignments don't make sense which makes it hard to be motivated for this required class. I'm sure he will improve in the future but as of right now, i don't reccomend him.

He's a great professor, those that complain about him probably expected an easy A. He's very passionate about what he does and I personally found his papers great. If you want a GOOD COM teacher take him. But if you take him be prepared to actually DISCUSS and not just sit there rolling your eyes. The class isn't awkward, the students are.

Panshula is a very intelligible professor but he is not a teacher you want to take for an easy A. He assigns numerous assignments all that regard the environment and grades them VERY hard. He can tend to be boring but he gives you everything you need and can be extremely helpful when confronted. You could earn a B- at best with very minimal work.

Great teacher overall. Is always willing to help, gives very good feedback, and allows you to rewrite each exam once if you don't get the grade you want. If you can, however, avoid his environmental themed class if you really aren't into the environment. While the teacher is good, the reading is not. Would still highly recommend taking him.

Professor Ganeshan was a HUGE inspiration for me this semester. He is passionate about what he teaches, and takes pride in his students becoming better writers. Mostly all homework is essays (it is a writing class) but he gives WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH time in class to finish them. He is crystal clear on what he wants from the assignment with a rubric

You wont regret taking his class, hes the nicest guy on the planet and the papers you will have to write reflect that completely. You will have a lot of laughs and fun in his class, he makes sure to be bright and kind but also reads the energy in the room so if everyone is tired he will make it a chill day and push a due date back, for example.

I put full effort into all my classes and tried my best. I took 6 classes last semester and 5 of those classes were A's. However, my grade in Com-101 was a D. He is extremely strict with grading. I received a terrible grade on a final essay in which I spent 4 hours writing. I asked for a rewrite, he replied saying"I'm Officially Done with You".
