Professor Gulshan is great. Very clear with what she expects in her class. She does a good job of working with you, and is very understanding. I took her for English 111 & 112 and will be taking her again.
Prof. Gulshan is the best professor I have ever had. She enjoys mythology and loves to involve the class with her lectures. You have to read the material and understand it perfectly so you can do well in her tests. I got all A's in my tests and final. engage her in class! She gives group projects instead of quizzes and she is hilarious. Love her
I just love Prof. G! Just finished semester today for eng 125. Great semester. She is nice & helpful. I love her teaching style. SHE teaches with so many examples. Helps everyone pass the class. Spends so much time helping us all. MUST TAKE!
SUPER prof. Clear teaching, clear expectation, no final exam and super helpful. She cares for her students. Class was fun. semester went by quickly with lot of fun. Dr. G is wonderful! highly RECOMMEND!
Professor Gulshan is the best! There are 3 essays, a few quizzes and a presentation . She is so helpful and cares for her students success. She made the short summer semester go even faster. English is my worst subject and I was able to get through it because she is such a great professor. Just make sure to keep all your papers!
I love Prof. G too! She is the best. I have taken 4 ENG classes with her. I took ENG 111, 112, 270 & 257 wit Her teaching style is so good. What I like the most about her is how much she helps students. She will not hurry you at all. She will spend time with you and she responds very quickly to emails. She is very big on student success. MUST TAKE!
This prof. is amazing! In just finished a class with her and I am taking her for all my English classes. She tells the class what the expectaions from the course are and then she works individually with all of us. She is very kind and a great teacher
She is the best! I love prof. G. She made the semester fly by really quick. She works with you in class. No final exam. We had fun in class. AWESOME!
She is a very clear professor, everything must be turned in on time. She makes the class very fun. She can go off topic, but it always leads to a point. No homework, no final. 3 Essays.
She has a very contradictory approach when it comes to class discussions. She wants students to speak their minds and challenge her but she is also likely to criticize you and call you out if you disagree with her too much. Also, she likes word-for-word answers on quizzes if the answer is in the textbook. Lastly, follow rubrics exactly as written.
Shes honestly one of the nicest and most amazing professors ever. She totally understands stuents and will help you if you're stuggling. other than that just pay attention and its an easy A. best part NO FINAL!
Prof. Gulshan is one of the best at NOVA. She cares about your success and works w the class. Attendance matters w her, but she's understanding. Most of the assignments are papers/presentations but you can do them in groups. She gives you everything you need for tests and its easy to follow the rubrics. Easy A if you do the work and pay attention
Professor Gulshan is a very easy Professor. She expects everything on the due date. Just show up and do your work youll get and A. She really wants everyone to pass. She helped us write our final research paper during class which was very helpful!
Dr. Gulshan is very nice, and usually very understanding and easy to work with. She can be a little intimidating because she talks big but its actually very easy to get an A. She makes it seem as though she has very strict grading guidelines but she will give anyone an A. You can do well with just the bare minimum.
Shes awesome. What really makes her stand out is how much she actually cares. Unlike most. She wants to understand where your coming from and really help you succeed which makes the semester go by fast and easy!
Amazing teacher!! NO FINAL , NO HOMEWORK. 2 quizzes and one project. Easy A!!
She likes to interact with the class so class discussions are never dull. Her grading criteria are straightforward so don't miss a day or there is a heavy penalty. A couple of essays and one group presentation. Easy A if you do the work.
Prof Gulshan is awesome! I loved her class. She is a very good teacher explains very clearly and works with all students all the time. She made the semester fun and easy. Higly recommended!
SHE IS THE BEST!! Hands down. Im not joking you neeedddd to take her. She is good if english is your major, she is even better if eng wasnt and you just needed it b/c if was manditory. No pop quizzes, no final exam, no homework. Just discussions in class that u has to participate in. And u only have a final paper which she helps u write.
I Don't like her. She gives pop quizzes, and she makes us write everything out in pen. What was annoying is that she assumes things without even knowing the fact. I drop her class and it was the best choice. I took another English class with another professor. Professor G might seem easy, but her teaching methods was just no. Don't recommend.
Shes a great professor who taught me so much. Im not too good at English but, she worked with me. Great experience and everyone got a good grade. If you show up and try your best she 100% recognize it and works with you to get the best grade posible. She gives a very clear syllabus with the due dates for the semester in the first class.
Amazing professor. Clear syllabus and guidelines. She is probably the only professor ever to care about here students and to go above everything to help them do the best they can. Best thing NO POP QUIZZES AND FINAL EXAM! fun,easy,awesome made me actually enjoy an english class
She is a very good teacher. You will learn a lot.
She ís very good teacher. I took her last year and i am taking her over again because she is so good. She will always very helpful.
She is awesome. She works with you. Class is super easy with her.
I loved Dr. Gulshan! She is so nice and makes the class seem strict but in reality she is a pretty easy grader. We had two essays and one research paper which she helps you write. The group presentation was scary but try your best and she will definitely recognize it. The 2-3 quizzes can be hard since they are write in answers so do the reading.
I'm not an English person but Dr. Gulshan's class was the best part of my week! 2 essays, one in class and a research paper instead of a final exam, which she helps you write in class. She's super caring and as long as you're respectful and show up to class she'll love you. Very interesting class discussions and stories. Great professor!
Dr. G is one of the best professor in the NOVA college. You just need to the work on time and push yourself. That will lead you to get an easy A.
the sweetest ever! she was so kind and her outlook on life is so positive that it was so contagious! English 252 was very straightforward, she gives you 99% of whats on it on review day. She was so witty and charming, sincerely one of the best professors I've had and I had no stress from this class thank goodness!
Really nice woman. She has her rules and is strict about them, but she makes it a point to be nice to everyone and cares about her students. Unlike most teachers, she actually wants you to succeed and tries her best to help you. I would definitely recommend her.
Professor G is one of the best professor in Nova. she is so funny and the class is not boring. you will pass the class if you do your work on time. I took her in summer 8 weeks class. we only had 2 essays, 2 quizes, 1 group resentation, and 1 reseach paper instead of final.I recommand her and I wanna take ENG 112 with her.
TAKE HER!! Prof. Gulshan is the best professor I've ever had in Nova! I was genuinely looking forward to her class every week, and the class felt like a family. I took her 8 week class during summer, and she adjusted the syllabus to follow our pace. Her lectures are very engaging, she cares about effort and will help you as much as she can. :)
Professor Gulshan has a light-hearted spirit that I enjoyed, but I also respected her low tolerance for side conversations. Do not expect to be able to chat while she's lecturing, eat in class, or get away with using your phone. However, she very much cares about her students and is passionate about literature. Read, and you should not have issues.
Professor Gulshan is good if you want to improve in writing. She does assign group projects and makes us present it to the class. That being said you need partners who will contribute, she will give the whole group a zero if a partner does not do anything. If you don't read the short stories that she assigns, she will give a pop quiz to the class.
Professor Gulshan is a really goof english teacher. She gives like 2 essays throughout the Semester. One Final Research Paper that she works with you for bout a month and then a Group Project super easy. Her class is really slack but you have stay on top of the deadlines.
Attendance is mandatory. She comes off super strict at the beginning of the semester but she is secretly a sweet heart. Be respectful and you'll find the class is great! There were three essays, one was start and finished in class as an exam. One group project. She is super accessible in her office and if you follow her notes you can get an A ez.
She will get to involve with her students to the points it gets annoying. She is always late and she doesnt respect the time of her students. Good person, bad professor.
She is not that great of a teacher. She is always late and doesn't update grades. She talks for most of the class time. She also yelled at a students for disagreeing with her after she asked for their opinion. It got to a point where I wanted to meet with the English supervisor due to her actions. Only take her if she's the only option.
This class was in person then switched to online. Takes a VERY long time to reply to emails. Is rude to students and very blunt. Takes points off for the littlest things. Didn't feel respected in this class. 2 group projects. 2 essays - 1 in class. Must read the textbook! No final or mid-term. VERY strict with rules. Would not recommend at all.
Prof G is amazing! This class was supposed to be in person but was switched to online becauz of the covid. She was super flexibile and wanted to make sure we all met our personal goals and got good grades to finish the class well. Even added extra credit and was ALWAYS on time with emails. Couldn't have done it without her.
She reprimanded the entire class when she was upset with one or two students. She didnt give the feed back she said she was happy to give. I didnt like taking this course with her. Unprofessional, I dont expect to be spoken to like a child in college courses.
Professor Rima Gulshan is a gem! She will arm you with the skills and knowledge you will need throughout college and beyond. If you are looking for an easy A then this is not the class you're looking for, but if you really want to build a solid foundation in reading comprehension and writing skills then professor Gulshan is the one for you.
She is kinda rude and you won't learn anything in her class, but it is almost impossible to fail her class. She is moody and difficult to communicate with, but if you have a thick skin and looking for an easy A, take her.
Prof G is the BEST professor on the planet. You will never meet anyone like her. She gives tons of extra credit and is always willing to help you. No tests at all and quizzes are open booknote. She understands her students and wants to be there for them.
She is the most amazing person ever. She cares so much about her students and is always willing to work with them. She responds to emails within minutes and gives tonns of extra credit. She likes to have fun and helps me enjoy english which i never have been able to before her. A true gem.
There is no 1 on this earth like Prof Rima. She is so amazing and will do anything to make you succeed. She cares about each student and is always available for extra help. Tons of extra credit and no homework. Tests are super easy. I hate english but she helped me learn and changed my mind about the subdget.
Prof G is amazing! there isn't anyone like her. She is super flexibile and willing to work with you through everything. She wants everyone to succeed and leave the class with more knowledge then they came in with. Super easy A!
Professor Gulshan is a great teacher, but be careful to read the entire rubric and syllabus. MLA format needs to be strictly adhered to for all assignments, and late work is 100% not accepted. Showing up to all of the classes is essential as well for the attendance grade-bump at the end of the semester. She will always give you feedback if you ask.
Professor Gulshan was a great professor this semester ! There is a lot of reading for this class about 10-15 pages each week in which you will have a discussion for the next class. Barely any assignments only discussions, unmonitored exams, and a few essays. As long as you participate and do the assignments YOU WILL PASS. Super strict on MLA format
Prof. G is lit. no pop quizzes or final and tons of extra credit. I could tell she wants her stdents to succeed. the best kind of teacher. Have you really taken eng if you haven't taken it with Prof. G - the OG
Dr. G is amazing! Super easy and great at emails during pandemic. Makes you feel like your still in class. Wants everyone to pass. I look all my eng classes with her. Won't regret it
WOW! A real diamond. Best englush teach ever! No finals, no quizzes, easy tests. Super nice and she gives all the answers in her short discussions. amazing, showstopping, iconic, queen.
Super duper helpful! I couldn't have done my last paper without her. She made english a breezeee! prompt with email and very reasonable. Check Prof. G out, you won't regret it.
This is my second time taking class with Prof G and she is SO amazing! Easy A as long as you're willing to pay attenion. She gives like all the answers to quizzes in class. No proctoring and no final. Shes a literary angel sent from the heavens.
Professor Gulshan is literally the kindest, sweetest, most amazing person on the planet. She is always willing to listen to students and she helps out so much. She really just wants her students to do well. No final, no pop quizzes, short essays that she lets you pick the topic for. Shes also really woke which is a BIG plus!
This class was a nightmare to take. She's VERY STRICT on "MLA" format. She can be moody and she also yells at students in front of the entire class just for asking a question. I was constantly worried that if I said something wrong, she would hold it against me and lower my grade. Not very informative by email and just seems to not care.
She is the most amazing and kind professor. tru angel! Truly the most compassionate person at nova/nvcc. She always looking to help and suport. Teach me so much! She even helped me with my transfer.
Yes, Prof Rima really is number #1 . Super caring and always here for students. She respond for me in less than 10 min and sometimes even late at night. She always understand people. English isn my 1 language and she help me so much to understand
Just terrible. Very rude when corresponding though email and talk to you like a child. Very tough on no late work. Took her class online and had an error with Canvas, she didn't care and gave me a 0. Don't take her class if you're not going to fight for your grade I had to contact the dean with these issues
The G in Dr.G stands for GEM! She's literally the best professor ever and gives so much extra credit. There is no way anyone can leave her class with a less than favorable grade. Always willing to help and understands students so well. Like I said shes a GEM.
Amazing teacher! Super flexible and is more interested in students succeeding than anything else. She understands tough situations and is always willing to work with students. Responds to emails in minutes even at night. She's the GOAT
Took all my eng classes with Mrs.G . Super considerate and understanding. Fun assignments. Lots of extra credit. No pop quizzes!!! The best.
Super helpful. Wish I had her early on. Gives multiple chances on assignments so you WILL succeed. Very understanding and helpful to all situations. She even responds to emails on weekends. Tons of extra credit. You legit cannot fail.
She's a very sweet professor with strict expectations. No late work EVER. Assignments based off readings/personal opinions. Exams are half multiple choice, half essay. Essays are all 1 page, except for final essay, 5-7 pages. Few projects, mainly writing assignments. Fun class if you like reading short stories and discussing them. Not a hard class.
Super duper AMAZEING ! Very understanding and gives lots of extra credit. No homework, barely any tests, and all quizzes are open book! She makes sure you pass with flying colors! Multiple attempts to get things right and doesn't care about formatting! She just wants you to speak your mind!
Professor gulshan seemed really intimidating at first. Shes strict with her rules and doesnt allow any late work. The work load is reasonable and we had 2 timed essays including a final research paper and a webinar. shes not a strict grader in my opinion as long as your writing is decent. I recommend her if you know how to write.
highly highly recommend dr.g . cares for students and makes sure succeed. tons of extra credit and easy assignments.
Cameras must be on for Attendance. Little work but very strict on due dates. WILL NOT accept late work for ANY reason (yes even legitimate ones). Gives off mean vibes and most homework is based on textbook readings. Gave 3 essays and only 1 was about something from the textbook. Will call on you randomly and will mark you absent if you do not reply
She is a good professor but sometimes she wouldn't make sense so it was a little frustrating but other than that I would recommend her because she grades fairly and it's easy to pass her class as long as you do your work. She also offered a 100 point extra credit assignment which I thought was very nice because not many professors would do that.
one of best at nova. she is very good teacher. very helpful and nice. this is my 2nd eng class with her. Enjoyed both classes. Be regular to class. show her you are making effort. Best class- no final exam, no pop quiz, everything is open book!
If you want to pass this class with a good grade, take her. However, she is not the best at teaching. She is very strict. NO LATE WORK ACCERPTED FOR ANY REASON. Personally, I think that no one knows whats going on in her class. If you make a small mistake, she will lower your grade. But most likely you will get a passing grade at the end.
amazing prof! Success oriented and makes sure everyone gets A. actually cares. Shes a real one!!! Tons of extra credit and willing to meet on weekends to help. took all my eng with her.
Prof. Gulshan is fabulous teacher. Very clear, nice and helpful. I took both 251 & 252 with her. She teaches with real life examples. Easy to understand. All work is open book, no pop quizzes, NO final exam.
This prof is so nice and caring. English is not my first language. She was so patient with me and help me so much. I thank you her for all the good work she did. OPEN book and no final exam.
Lit! Highly recommend!
She is caring, compassionate and very helpful. Very good teacher and meets outside of class. Be regular to class, all is OPEN BOOK and best of all no pop quiz and no final exam. she also gave us extra-credit.
You can feel passion in her lectures. Always available for help and super easy grader. Gives second chances and she only want student succeed. Made me not hate english. Shes super cool too.
Are you an english major? Not an english major? Good at ENG? Bad at ENG? NOT A PROBLEM! Professor G is for EVERYONE! She is happy to work with you no matter what level your english is. She's super understanding and doesn't have strict bone in her body! Success with and easy A.
Professor Gulshan is a very sweet soul and she wants the best for her students, she shows passion within her lectures and she truly does care for every student enrolled in her class, always available for one on one discussions, and would readily reply to emails, do not hesitate to take her for you class!
A true sweetheart. Lots of extra credits and prof is always available to zoom or discuss assignment over email for extra help. Always there and ready to assist. wow great. Love her.
Amazing Professor, that cares a-lot about her students and will really help you achieve your goals and boost you up to a A. Lots of extra credit available and as long as you put in the work you will get the grade you want.
She is super sweet. One of best at NOVA who works very with students. be regular to class she will cover all material. Very approachable & personable. Highly recommend.
Such an awesome and caring teacher. Always ready to help and will even schedule appointments over the weekend to help if you are struggling. This is a class where if you put in the work you will reap the reward and Prof G is here to cheer you on. Tons of extra credit and open book assignments. No final, tonnes of extra credit!
Great teacher always here to help and cheer you on. If you attend class and do your work you'll be happy that you took her class. Lots of extra credit and will guide you through every assignment to make sure you do well. Just be regular!!!
Shes super duper cool. You will not regret it! Gives a lot of pointers about answers for upcoming assignments in her lectures so the key is to listen. No final, no quizzes, a few discussion boards and a paper. that's it!
SHE's so amazing and a true dear. Lots of extra credit, no exams, no quizzes, very understanding teacher will help you through everything. Even if you want to meet her over the weekend she will make time to meet you. Always willing to help.
She is true gem! So helpful and nice. Prof. G genuinely cares. She will help you to succeed. Very encouraging, supportive and meets you even over the weekend. Be regular to class. Highly recommend.
She is delightful teacher and very nice person. Caring and helpful. Responds quickly on email. Will meet you as many times as you need. No pop quizes and no Final exam. Gives extra-credit.
Prof. G is very enthusiastic prof with lot of positive energy. She is very kind and nice. I was very sick and she helped me so much so I did not fall behind. Very good learning in this course. I actually enjoy writing now. Be regular to class. No pop quiz, no final, all open book and extra credit.
She is a sweet person very nice and helpful. She will work with you. I liked the interaction in her class. Be regular to class. No pop quizzes, no final exam. Extra credit and open book.
Probably one of the coolest profs ever because she keeps the content relevant. Attending the class is important to getting an A because she literally does all the work for you during the zoom sesh. You can't go wrong with Prof G.
If you're willing to put in the effort, you will defs get an A. Prof G is great at meeting you halfway. Very understanding and wants the best for her students. I wish I would have taken 111 with her too. bonus, she gives a TON of extra credit.
She is organized and helpful. I enjoyed discussions in class. She goes over everything in class. very reasonable and understanding teacher. no final exam, no pop quizes, extra credit and open book.
Super cool and gives really engaging stuff to work on in class. You HAVE to attend to succeed but its super worth it because she goes over each assignment in such detail its impossible to go wrong. I would be shocked if you didn't get an A
She gives SOOOOOO much extra credit. Always happy to work with students. I got COVID and she made sure to help me get through the class. Shes an angel.
If you're willing to put in minimal effort, you can really get a fantastic grade in this class. Just physically show up and lowkey pay attention. YOU WILL GET AN A!
funny, charasmatic, and super into pop culture. I don't think i've ever met a teacher who listens to Kendrick Lamar. Prof G is actually in touch with reality and realizes that students have lives too. Just put in a little bit of effort and Prof G will take you the rest of the way.
Amazing Professor! Loved her clear feedback and was so caring and sweet. She wanted her students to get an A in this class and went out of her way to meet with you to help you answer any questions you may have for assignments. I took her for ENG 112 and would definitely recommend taking her!
Super enthusiastic Professor who actually cares about students which is wild, I know. Trust, she is awesome and gives a lot of extra credit. She literally just wants everyone to do well but in return expects that you also put in some work. Not a lot of work but just minimal effort. Who can ask for a better teacher?
Best professor I've ever had. For the first time in a long time, I felt as if the teacher had our best intentions as a primary focus. The homework load was very reasonable and it was a reflection of what was done in class. Extremely responsive and respective. I wish all professors were as great as professor Gulshan. I can't recommend her enough.
Unless you want to waste your time and just be babysat, do NOT take her. She is so particular with her grading, shes cool peoples I guess, but her teaching style is terrible. She talks about unnecessary things in class and literally repeats the same thing over and over again just to kill time. This is the worst teacher I have ever had
Absolutely the biggest waste of time of my year. Seems like she just like to talk to hear her own voice and she constantly asks if we had any questions over and over again just to drag every single thing out to waste time. She is not an easy grader at all and if you miss 2 classes she drops your grade a letter down. Do yourself a favor, don't do it
i have been meeting her almost every weeknd for three weeks now. Very helpful and kind. Always looks out for students. Clear teaching and clear class expectations. I am taking all english classes with her.
Lit, lit and lit! Awesome teacher and always there for students. No pop quiz, no final exam. She adds so much extra credit.
For an English professor, her English isn't great. There are a lot of grammatical errors! Also. She doesn't really teach. Each class is spent discussing the project that must be done, but nothing is actually taught. She is a very nice person though and seems to care about the students.
When it comes to assignments, she is very unclear about most of them, and it's always the ones that impact your grade the most. She constantly asks for people to ask questions but doesn't answer them correctly. She cares about her student, but that is not enough to convince me to retake a class with her.
Real gem! I wish I had taken her for all my ENG classes. Always there for students. She gives you detailed useful feedback. Very helpful and clear teaching.
supportive and encoraging. Very caring and helpful. She wants all her students to do well. Big on student success. I liked class discussions. very good and kind teacher. No final exam, no pop quizes.
She cares to help you out if you need it, she gives opportunities for extra credit. Basically, show up to class and do the assignments and you will be fine.
This was my best class! Learn so much. Not an eng person but enjoyed readings. Attend class and do all work. She is very helpful prof. will help you outside class and gives so much extra credit. no final exam. Must take.
Dr. G is a GEM. She genuinely cares for her students and truly wants them to succeed. She's more than willing to answer any questions and replies to emails in a timely manner. Gives students lots of opportunities to boost their grades and assigns due dates to fit their schedules. I'm going to miss her so much, she's so sweet. Enroll for her ASAP!
She's kind of overrated. She doesn't even teach in class, just talks about the next assignment the whole class and doesn't explain what to do. Must attend class to pass of course. Always ask the class if we got questions like every 5 minutes. Grades really heavy, petty little mistakes. If you want a good teacher find someone else. Good extra credit
Spent too much time talking about useless things, extremely frustrating lectures and she did not analyze correctly. Assignments were useless and she did not know how to write instructions or explain the assignment properly. Class was always confused with her and she structured the class so poorly. DO NOT take idk y positive reviews exist, horrible!
She cares about her students and gives tons of extra credit, but class time was only talking about assignments. I found the class to be repetitive and boring which was really disappointing. Also found that if you don't agree with her explanations, she'll snap at you and won't explain her points. She's nice one-on-one, but not so much in class.
I don't think any other professor does it quite like prof G does. Classes are awesome and chill. She gives you all the stuff you need to do the work. super caring and always understands if you're having trouble. I met with her one on one and she always helped. Also she gives so much extra credit its impossible to fail.
If you want to learn and guarantee a good grade then Professor Gulshan is THE ONE! There is literally so much extra credit if you don't get an A then something is wrong. Shes iconic and super fun. She made tik toks with us in class.
She just gets it. A true boss. She knows students don't always have a ton of money so she makes sure readings are available online for free. I don't think i've ever had a teacher give so much extra credit. Just show her you're doing the bare minimum and she meets you half way. Classes were super fun and I feel like I learned so much. LOVE YOU DR G
She'll give you points for just breathing like! The coolest. I get sad on my birthday so I didn't come to class. When I didn't write to her she wrote to me to check in on me!? Which teacher is actually that nice. So genuine and kind. My fave class by FAR. She also started like every class by saying hi to us and our pets!!!
How anyone gets less than an A in this class is beyond me. Show up, act like you are doing something! ANYTHING! and you will be very very happy. Shes pretty awesome actually and super understanding. Classes are informative and fun even for a boredom inducing class like english. If you love yourself and your GPA take this class.
Super cool prof. Caring and very very helpful. She checks your work before you make your final submission. Gives detailed feedback. Responds to emails promptly and respectful. No final exam, no pop quizes. I am taking her for all my english classes. MUST TAKE
She is a star! Compassionate, kind, understanding. All readings are online. She will help you so much. Structured class all open book assignments. It was fun to read about world classics. No final exam and lots of extra credit. Highly recmmend.
Shes literally so awesome and so much fun. Classes are the best! I fully wait for class time. Really caring. No exams and Tons of extra credit. Impossible to get anything lower than an A and you actually learn a lot too. Professor of DREAMS!
literally the star of NOVA! No exams to be found and so much extra credit that your grades don't even matter. She wants you to LEARN and as long as you can show you did something she rewards you. Helps you learn actual skills. Super caring and understanding. I broke my leg mid semester and she helped me so much! LOVE PROF G the OG
True gem! I liked how we were asked to think outside the box. She encourages independent thinking. Discussion boards were fun and had relevant topics to work with others. Easy grade and so much extra credit! No final exam!
She is very Nice and understanding. Class is relatively easy and directions are straight forward. Make sure you attend class and participate if you want to succeed. She is very kind and can relate to students. Make sure to start you final project asap since they will be due before you even know. I would definitely recommend, u can get an A fairly.
Okay Professor. She had a diagnostic timed in the begging not counted as a grade. 1 quizzes on textbook also 1 on syllabus. 3 discussion boards, 1 draft and final essay, 1 final research paper, 1 webinar. Somewhat of a harsh grader but gives extra credit for some assignments and for attendance and other opportunities. MLA format strictly required.
She is very reasonable and understanding. Cares for students and wants the best for them. She is very helpful. Responds quickly to emails. Show her you are making some effort and she will help you. SO much extra credit. NO final exam. Must take.
Shes awesome . In depth feedback and super understanding lots of extra credit
if you are looking for the best Eng teacher take her. She is the best teacher and cares for her students. Im so excited to take her this year for Eng 112. She gave us a month to focus on our project and final research paper. Attendance is very important she will give you extra credit at end for that. Also participate and do your homework.
Amazing prof & kind person. Clear teaching. She care for students and understanding. Reasonable due dates. No final exams. Be regular to class and do all your work. She will help you all you need.
She's a pretty good teach honesty. Nothing really bad to say. I feel like she can give a little too much feedback sometimes but, I guess shes just trying to be helpful. Allows me to improve. I needed the class for my degree otherwise eng is not my fave. I felt like I learned but wasn't bored to tears as eng can sometimes do. So much extra credit.
Sweet and caring person. Will work with you all you need outside class. Due dates are easy to follow. No final exam and no surprise quizes. Do all your work on time. Late work not accepted.
I miss her already. Nice, caring and understanding. Organized with no pop quiz and no final. Discussion based class. She stayed back after class to help and even on email. All readings assigned on syllabus and announced on Canvas. Be regular Late work not taken.
This Professor changed my life. Lots of extra credit and actually makes you succeed. She tries to do little writing projects and spreads out deadlines so you never get overloaded. It was my safe space.
She gives detailed helpful feedback. I am taking all my eng classes with her. Be regular turn all work on time. Late work not taken. No pop quizes and no final exam.
Love professor Rima. Definitely take her.
Prof. Gulshan's course is great. She is an easy grader, and she doesn't have many assignments. There is also a lot of extra credit. However, she is extremely strict on due dates and specific details. If you are even a second late, you would receive a 0. Overall, this professor is great.
She is amazing!! Always ready to help.
The most iconic class, I swear if you didn't take ENG with Dr.G, then did you really take ENG? She gives a ton of extra credit (like literally the first assignment had extra credit) and she is super understanding. She loves hearing everyone opinion and really wants people to vibe and live their best life. Yes you do learn, but its FUN somehow.
Super Lit!
understanding and reasonable person. Discussion based class. No final exam and no pop quizzes. I am taking her for all my eng classes. Must take!
Fun class and fun teacher. Well planned class with easy course work. We even discussed pop culture in class, best is No final exam.
I was amazed at how well structured this class was in a six week semester. Assignments were due with one week intervals which gave us time to finish our work. very helpful teacher who will meet you outside of class to help you. Never had a class like this. No final exam. It is all open notes. Caring and kind prof.
This was my last class at nova but the best class ever!! I wish I could take more classes with Prof. Rima. She is truly delightful & kind. It was fun learning. Very helpful teacher who will meet you when you want help. She gives you a week in between assignment due dates which gives you time to work with her. Must Take.
She gives a lot of extra credit, and you will for sure get an easy A just staying in class.
I have to mention that Prof G makes the cutest landing pages on Canvas...she fully knows how to run an online class. Literally so much extra credit. The class is an easy A if you show up and honestly, I left with improved skills and a better GPA. She doesn't give homework or any exams. Best semester ever.
Great prof, just show up and you'll do great. Uses a lot of free materials which is a plus. Doesn't grade harshly so you actually get chance to learn while also getting good grade. Tons of extra credit which makes things even easier. Great great prof.
Professor Gulshan, I would not recommend taking her because she times everything within the time frame for the assignments. Tough grader. Papers too much.
Not too much work, no more than 3 quizzes (open book), no exams, no pop quiz....easy A. I learned a lot without tons of work. Super flexible. She is strict on attendance so don't miss class.
Supportive and helpful teacher. She wants whole class to do well. She will help you all you need. No final exam and no pop quizes. All open book. She gives lot of time in between due dates. Easy work load. Highly recommend.
Very nice prof easy to talk to and very helpful. Canvas announcements were very helpful. Be regular to class and partcipate. She will add extra points for attandance at semester end. No final exam and no pop quizes. All open book. Late work not accepted. Must Take.
Nice sweet person and helpful. Light and easy workload. You learn and have fun. Ask her for help and will be there for you. I met her two or three times every week .Best is no final and no surprise quiz. Highly reccommend.
Very tough grader. Does not allow for any error to occur or a failing grade is administered.
Amazing Prof. Put the life long love of reading and writing in me!
I had her in the fall of 2022 hybrid class. She is an amazing professor, gives extra credit, attendance is mandatory, and assigns a light load of assignments. A little tough grader, and does not accept let work. Try to understand the assignment and ensure you completed it correctly before submitting it. No final exam just a research paper.
Very strict on attendance. Tough grader who doesn't tolerate minor mistakes. Quizzes are very tricky. The guidelines and requirements of her assignments are extremely hard. I recommend choosing someone else.
Pros: workload is super little, barely any assignments. all we had to do is read the readings every week. answers emails, grades fast Cons: boring lectures, super picky on grading overall, I just didn't feel like I learned anything from the class
Best prof ever. Made sure we all succeed no matter what our goals. If you told her your goal, she'd make it happen. Super easy going and flexible, fun discussions, basically no homework, no pop quizzes or random assignments. No exams, a life saver doing finals week!!!! My fave prof at NOVVA
No exams, no homework, one paper. Very caring and understanding. Syllabi is very organized and she always sends out a million reminders on canvas. One of the most understanding teaches ever. Even available on weekends for help.
I don't recommend her because she is strict on attendance and grade. She also deducts points for small errors.
So much extra credit, prof really wants everyone to succeed. Lots of the materials are free so you don't have to pay for books. Super duper easy grader, like you'd have to really turn in something bad for her to cut points off. She talks bout pop culture alot like we had a whole discussion on White Lotus, Euphoria, The Weeknd...she knows her stuff.
Attendance is strictly mandatory. Tough grader with very difficult assignments. Her class is organized as a Q/A session most of the time.
Super easy class but you still get to learn a lot. Works to meet your goals and she's super kind! Iconic teach
One of the absolute best professors i've ever have. She's soo nice and soo helpful! I needed help on the weekend and she met with me. I wish every teacher was like prof G! You really have to want to fail if you get a bad grade, literally so much easy extra credit. Your goal is her goal, shes awesome.
Even though attendance was mandatory shes a very compassionate and funny teacher who actually cares about your grades and understands you have a life outside of college. As long as you follow directions on her assignments your good.
Super fun class with a super fun teacher. Must take!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Gulshan is very funny and uses real life situations to explain things. She was very understanding when I was absent due to a family death. There is a lot of reading but the book is a lot better than I expected. Just make sure to keep up with the work, there isn't a lot but it has a big impact on grade. I definitely recommend this class!
Miss her class so much. Kind person and clear teaching. Does not load work on you. Took all english classes with her. She will go above and beyond to help you. Turn in work on time. Late work not accept. Must take!!
The class itself was pretty easy. The material was fine too. The professor was very critical and was really big on the little details. It wasn't a problem at first, but it became an issue as the semester continued. Lots of points got taken off bc of minor problems, which was annoying.
Dr. Rima is very supportive and kind. Easy A if you do your work on time. She checks your work before submitting for grade. She will help you as much as you need. Caring and kind person. No pop quizzez and no final. Must take!!
Truly the best teacher I have ever had. Barely any readings, no exams, and a ton of extra credit. She also gives opportunities to network with transfer schools at events which is super helpful. No one like her exists at NOVA. Calling her a diamond would be an understatement. She's also a Rihanna fan which is a plus haha.
Pretty easy assignments, however she is a tough grader and will take points away wherever she can. If you are late to class, she will not tell you what the assignment is, and will give you a zero for showing up late. If you can deal with horrible professors, but easy work then take this class. The book assigned is expensive and not cost friendly.
Must take! She is the sweetest and best! Her class was my happy place! Gives plenty time to do work. Clear written instructions.She will check ur work before it is graded. Gives so much time for helping students. Very caring. Never have to buy book. she makes sure all readings are online. No pop quizzes and no final exam.
Shes an amazing prof. One of the best I have ever had. I had class with her in the evening and she allowed us to take a break so we can break our fast. Very respectful of everyone and gives a lot of extra credit. just wants succeed :)
Inspired me to pursue writing. Shes an awesome teacher and a fantastic mentor. Invited us to an event in DC to meet with transfer schools and network. She may be one of the very few professors who actually cares about her students and wants the best for them.
She is both tough and strict. A small mistake can take away your points. She does not tolerate absence even you provide valid reason.
Yes, I'll take her again! I wish I knew her before. So kind, caring and nice. Very fair and SUPER helpful! Easy class, no final and no pop quizess. MUST TAKE!
She is absolutely a tough grader, especially on the bigger papers, but she was overall a good teacher. Some homework here and there could help you if you didn't understand the assignment. Don't expect class to end early in the later half of the semester though.
Shes a true G. Like absolutely iconic. Lots of extra credit and easy assignments that boost ur grade up. I had over 100%. low stress easy A.
Low stress, easy A course! All we had were 2 essay's, and a webinar to do, gives plenty of extra credit too. With that being said, her classes are set-up as dull Q&A's and rarely ends class early. She grades on technicality (proper MLA) so don't expect valuable feedback on the content of your work. Overall, I'd take her again for the low stress.
AWESOME is the first word that comes to mind for Dr. Rima. Caring and helpful. So much extra credit. You do have to show her you are making effort. no final exam and no surprise quizzes.
Wonderful teacher and a great mentor. She is very encoraging and inspires you to do well. Checks your work before putting on canvas. Clear and helpful. of course, there is extra credit.
She is a sweetheart! Brings positive energy to class, very knowledgable and fun learning experience. Easy class, just be regularand turn in work on time. doesnt give you lot of work. Extra credit!!
took her in summer last year. she was phenomenal so I took her again for different course in fall and she was even more phenominal! very caring person. Speak to her share your goals and show her youre doing work. Just don't miss class. She goes over all work in class. No final. must take!!!!!!
Don't take a class with this professor. She is a very tough grader. She gives me 20 from 100 points on my paper and she cut all my points from punctuation. She is not giving you a chance to resubmit the paper.
Dr. Gulshan rocks! I took the 6 week summer zoom session and it was easy. Just quizzes (the answer choices are hilarious), two papers, no exams. I got over 100% on the essays just because she's super nice. She also cares about your personal life and wants to support you. Please take her class. It will make your life so much easier.
Iconic class and iconic Prof! Completed my 6 week summer class with her and she was amazing! Just don't miss class and show you are working! Clear and easy directions. No final exams!
I would take prof Gulshan again except I am transferring now. Caring prof and wonderful learning experience. Super helpful and friendly. She also gives extra credit.
She is so sweet and knowledgeable! I just finished my six week summer class. It was a lot of fun and I was learning so much. Gives one week between classes to finish work. Best is she check your work before grading. I was able to finish my work two weeks before semester ended because of how nice Dr. G is. Highly recommend.
Just completed the 6 week semester it was really good! Dr. G is very sweet and caring. She encourages and inspires you to do good. you can see she was so happy when a student shared their paintings, another one their poetry and one was making video. It was so fun I did not feel it was class. Do not miss class ever. There was so much extra credit
If you want to fail your first semester take her! She will never answer emails or canvas messages. She's very passive-aggressive and does not care for her student's feelings at all.
Dr. G is best english teacher ever!! Not too much work but you actually learn in her class. Super helpful & super nice person. Checks your work before you give for grading. I am taking all my eng classes with her. No pop quizes and no final exam. Extra credit is plus!! MUST TAKE!
Best Prof ever! I took her for 111 and after that I took all eng classes with her. Super helpful! Responds to emails promptly. Dr. G understands you have a life and works with you. Easy and light workload. No final exam and no pop quiz. highly recommend!
Would take this Prof over again in a heartbeat! This was my last class before transfer and absolutely the best. My experience is talk to her, tell her your goals and she works with you to get your goals. She is nice and friendly. Very very helpful. She helped me with my transfer details too. You have to take her!
The class is set up to get an easy A. The workload is light and time flexible. My concern is I feel like I didn't learn much. I will have to write research papers for my major, and this class didn't give me the needed practice to prep for research papers. Be mindful of her passive-aggressive and strict tendencies and you will be fine.
Best prof ever! Gives detailed feedback which is very helpful! Understands you have life. Balanced work load. No final!
Ms. Gulshan is very sweet and a very easy grader as long as you follow the instructions. She also lets you send your paper to ask for feedback before you submit it. She gives very good feedback. Besides, she is passive-aggressive sometimes, but it doesn't affect your grades. She always motivates and appreciates students' hard work.
She is such an icon. I learned so much. She even read my transfer essays and I honestly feel like I got into UVA because of her. Super sweet and really cares about students. She gives out so much extra credit that you really have no choice but to get an amazing grade. Just follow directions and be respectful, youll get rewarded.
Best ENG teacher ever. Only a few papers and tons of extra credit. It would be hard to get anything lower than an A as long as you put in some effort. light work
She's literally a queen. She was guiding us through a reading and she started acting out one of the characters and I was like wow you ate that. She is a ton of fun and she makes the semester go by so fast! tons of extra credit.
I would take her over again in a heartbeat. Gives detailed feedback and she is funnnnnn. Be respectful and work with her. she will do her best. and there is xtra credit.
Best professor ever. She gives a ton of extra credit which makes it super-duper easy to get an A. As long as you mildly pay attention and show her that your making an effort, your A is guaranteed.
She is the coolest prof I've ever had. She is super understanding and kindest. She taught me so much and even helped me with my transfer essays to Virginia Tech. I wouldn't have gotten in without her help. Super approachable.
If you want to feel like your work is worthless and almost fail the class, take her. She's the toughest grader I know, she takes major points off on work that aligns with rubric.
luv her! amazing teacher and lovely person. gives detailed feedback. Clear syllabus. Shes the best choice I made!
Attendance is MANDATORY! Some assignments given during class and cant be made up. Projects and essays given way beforehand. Some extra credit given. She's nice and funny, but can be passive aggressive. Take advantage of her reviewing your draft, she's gives good feedback. She's very strict on grading, follow her directions/rubric and you'll pass.
She is a tough grader. She wants to show you that she is sweet, but she can be passive-aggressive. Easy workload, there's not much to do, so make sure you do your work nicely. She was ok.
Super easy class. Lots of extra credit. She reviews your papers before you submit so you get a good grade. No homework so the workload is VERY less. Shes also super duper nice and understanding. I have never met such an amazing prof before.
Shes soooo great. Super easy assignments, easy grader, tons of extra credit. Very understanding and kind. I had a death in my family and she just told me not to worry about the class. If you don't take her class while youre at NOVA you're missing out!! She also loves music and movies - shes a lot of fun.
She is so great! She taught me so many life skills like how to not procrastinate and how to write best essays. Super easy class but you learn so much. She add so much extra credit, you get to learn with no penalize. Luv her.
Shes a sweetheart! Balance and Not too much work but you learn. Clear and esay. Work with her and tell her your goals. Super helpful and nice. No exams. EXTRA CREDIT!!
She's a fantastic prof. Easy grading, easy assignments, lots of extra credit. She's also super duper sweeeeet!! She helped me so much. If you want the best eng prof at nova then take her.
I love dr.Rima. english is my second language so I was very scared about taking eng class. She is very calming and kind. I learn so much from her and I am more confident in myself. She gives lot of extra credit and grades are not focused on tests. very low stress. you want good grade and learn, take dr.Rima.
Best Professor listen, you want good grade? You want to learn? Look no where else. Love her.
She is best! She gave me ideas to learn and grow. I took her advice and got A!! If you tell her your goal she will help you. Very sweet.
Great prof, would highly recommend!
Dr. G is the best! Took her 111 and now for 112. Super helpful. Works with you for as long as you like. Never rushes you. Taking all my english classes with her. Must take!!
Shes literally the best. She is super nice and literally gave me enough extra credit that I went from a C to an A. She really wants to see your trying rather than being accurate which means you actually learn. She saved my life.
She is SO cool and loves bringing in relevant pop culture things. Makes learning so easy and gets rid of boredom. Super nice to just have a teach that wants students to succeed. Tons of extra credit and shes super understanding too. Love her soo soo much.
Takes off points on the smallest things rather than the actual content of your writing. Is NOT reachable and does not explain things clearly. I don't even know how she is an english teacher.
honestly, she was a bit passive aggressive.we're graded by few things so it's important to turn hw in.She would assign random extra credit & was never clear with instructions and would time it & feel rushed and if you didn't turn it in on time u would lose points. we met once a week and even that was too much. she's ok but look into other options.
The best teacher ever shes super sweet and she gives so much extra credit its impossible to do bad in the class. I got an A superrr easy. She just wants to see that you're trying your best.
Does not tolerate absences for any reason even if they're valid. Her lectures are slow and never feel like they go anywhere. She grades fairly, but other than that, she is all around a bad prof who has a massive ego. She gives very little info on the smaller assignments and gives out pop quizzes left and right. I would definitely not recommend her.
Imagine my shock after I came here to feel validated in my hatred of this professor and everyone loves her! She has a very strict attendance policy; two absences and you drop down a letter grade. Most assignments done in class. IF you are late, you cannot do them and no one is allowed to tell you what the assignment is. No writing in this class!
Theres a reason Prof. G is known as the chillest and best prof at NOVA - its cuse she literally is. I have never met a kinder prof. I hated english because of all the bad experiences I had but she actually wanted to learn about who I am and how I learn best. LOTS of extra credit. No other option other than an A with prof G.
As someone who had her only once a week, I was pretty overwhelmed by the amount of work to do outside of class compared to my twice a week English related classes in previous semesters. But I am glad she did her best to make the class engaging with the journals. She was strict at first, but felt safe to talk to after the first 7 weeks.
I didn't learn much from her. She is not reliable, so don't expect her to answer your questions. She hates questions. It's just English, but she rambles about pointless information that is not tangent to the topic.
She is the sweetest, kindest, most lovelyyy human being ever. She truly has passion for her work. I was not a fan of English since its my second language and she did everything she could to make it a good time. She even met with me on weekends if I needed it. I've never had such an amazing teacher. All my blessings to her.
She's very difficult. Her assignments are difficult to understand and it's hard hearing what she says. I don't understand how she speaks and she talks a lot. Lots of micro managing and it shows in the grading. You lose lots of points over minimal details. You won't learn much.
Caring, kind, modest, professional. I was going through a super tough time in my life and she helped me. She gives a lot of extra credit. If she sees that you're trying she'll make sure you get an A. She's a true blessing.
She is SUCCCHHH a good professor. Calling her a gem is an understatement, she is DIAMOND! She gives so much extra credit and n assignments are so easy yet you learn so much. Shakesepere used to bore me but she showed me how interesting it can be. I wish all teacher were like her. Easy A as long as you show you care.
When Dr. G agreed to meet me on the weekend because I needed help with an assignment she became my favorite teacher ever. I could email her and within 5 minutes I get a response. I swear shes like super human. But meeting over the weekend was the kindest thing. She walked me through the assignment again and I ended up getting an A! Love her.
What I like about her is she wants all students to do well. Written clear instructions. Actually sits down with you and helps you. whole month of nov. she helped drafting for evryone so it is very easy to get A. No final, no pop quiz. Highly reccommend.
This professor is incredibly rude. Not only does she grade tough but she does not provide any good feedback other than to criticize your work. Any big writing projects you think will be an ease will become 100x harder because of just how strict she grades. Worst English professor ever. Honestly, try ur luck with someone else.
If this wasn't a gen ed class I'd understand why this professor grades so tough. But it's not, so why is she like this? Who knows. Honestly, be ready to not score well on easy assignments and get ready to be flamed for every single mistake with no explanation. Find a better eng professor cause gulshan is not a good one.
Such an awesome and lovely prof. Truly kind and caring. Super dedicated. She broke her leg and still found her way into the class. She loves what she does and honestly that's why the vibes in the class are so good.
Best professor I ever had. Honestly, best eng teacher I have ever had. Lots of extra credit, very caring. I had a religious holiday in the middle of the semester and she gave all of us practicing the freedom to spend time with family and break our fasts. Super duper caring. No other eng teacher has instilled this kind of knowledge in me.
Lectures are boring and not relevant to the material going on tangents on whatever comes to mind. Assignments are few but are weighted heavily and she takes of points or fails you for the smallest details. She also has the biggest ego saying shes the nicest person at the school but really passive aggressive Late policy is bad 3 absences grade class
She is the GOAT like truly the best prof I had while I was at NOVA. I took every English class I could with her. Cuse she gives so much extra credit you literally WILL get an A. I cannot recommend her enough. She's also super funny.
wish I knew about this prof before. Kind gentle person n' understanding. She gives you very detailed feedback which is very helpful. promptly respond sto emails. no final and no surprise quizzes. MUSt take.
I just finished class with her and I loved it! She is flexible. all writing work had clear instructions. One thing I will say, talk to her 1 on 1. she is friendly and understanding. Grades are on canvas.
Prof is so passionate and energetic! Knowledgable and upto date on pop culture! Wants everyone to well. Easy paced class. Just make sure to show her you are making effort. She doesn't give surprise quizzes. No final exam!
Dr. Rima is the best! Supportive, kind and very helpful and always smiling. Detailed feedback really helped me to do well in her class. She also helped me so much. she gives work with a lot of advance notice and works with yu. No final. AWESOME!
Will fail or take off a lot of points for even the smallest mistakes on your papers. Does NOT give good feedback at all, rather she doesn't give any helpful advice. Consider another english professor because this one is not it.
Super cool prof! Easy and well structured class. I like how she posts announcements on canvas for every class. Clear expectations. Grades on canvas. Works with you as much as you want. Very helpful. No pop quiz and no final. MUST Take!
The best professor I have truly ever had. Changed my life. She helped me get into UVA by working with me on drafts of my personal statements outside of class. I couldn't have done it without her. She is super dedicated. She even responds at midnight to emails if you need help. Shes a gem.
I am taking her again right away this summer. Clear easy class,no pop up quizzes, well paced class. Very helpful prof. No final. What else can you want? Must take.
I addddoorrreeeeeeeee her. There is no professor like her at NOVA. She'd the sweetest, kindest, cutest, professor I have ever had. She is very very understanding, gives a lot of extra credit but also really wants her student to left class learning something. I love her. All blessings to her.
Prof is sweetheart! So helpful, gives very good feedback. Make sure to show her you are working. Values effort. Grades are clear on canvas. works with you for drafting. No final and no pop quiz. Love her!
So nice but cares about participation !!!!!!!! easy A
I come back to this prof every once in awhile and I'm still shocked on how she has so many good reviews.This prof is not nice, she is extremely strict, and she in general does not seem to care about her student's education.She'd rather see her students fail than to see them succeed.Take another prof, this one is not worth your time and money.
Like fairy, profesor G came into my life to save me. I had lot of bad teacher who laugh at my eng but she always try to help me. I love her. She is angel.
All anyone wants is to learn and protect a good GPA for transfer. If you feel the same way - take Dr. Rima. I told her my goal was to get an A and she led me to success. If I ever made a mistake she gave me extra credit to make up for it. I think she is the sweetest. I emailed her scared on the weekend and she responded within minutes. She cares.
Shes the best, no notes. You won't regret taking her.
She is the sweetest teacher! took a 7 week class with her and one point we all got overwhelmed and she extended assignments for the whole class. Hands down a great teacher!
She's literally the cooollllesst. She also runs this literary journal and allows us to get our stuff published! It looked so cute on my resume that I published something. She's the kindest soul and really cares.
Dr. Gulshan is a fantastic professor. She wants you to have a great grade and a successful career more than anything. And you will put in the work in order for that to happen. Lot of discussion boards and creative thinking. I would take her 10/10 times without a doubt. Thank you doctor Gulshan for being a fantastic teacher for my semester!
she is very strict with her syllabus and is a tough grader but does try to help everyone pass, she is extremely nice and if you do the work class will be a breeze.
Really sweet I mean really sweet! Clear syllabus, easy workload. Gave us bonus points on the last assignment. Gives you extra credit work. It is upto you if you do it or not. Makes sure everyone passes. No pop quizes no final. Jsu finished class with today. Love her!!
Not a good professor at all. Contradicts grading rubrics leading to poor grades on finals and is just plain mean to students asking questions or having concerns. Worries too much about attendance rather than teaching. Grammatical errors all over syllabus, rubrics and tests. Class is easy but definitely take a different professor
Shes a lot of fun and you get so much extra credit. If you need a class to boost your GPA or just wanna get a class out of the way EASY - take her. She's super duper kind too. Easy A
I legit couldn't have survived without Prof Rima. She helped me soooo much. I learned a lot in her class and she's a super duper easy grader. Any points I lost, she gave extra credit to make it up. Love her
She was good to me at the beginning of the semester, and gave good feedback to students such as myself, but she has these specific guidelines on exams, final presentation/webinar, and final essay, which hurt my grade from an A to a B. I tried to explain my approach to it, but she disregarded that and told me to follow her directions. Be careful
Took Eng236 last summer in a short semester. Prof. Rima is such a darling! Gave so much time between assignments. NO tests, no surprise quiz and final. Shhe will check your draft if you do work on time. Finest prof. HIGHLY Recomend!
Prof. Gulsha is the absolute best!! She's soooo sweet and actually cares about her students. Super chill, always kind, and just really understanding. Gives a LOT of extra credit which is amazing. Her class is pretty easy if you show up and do the work. Take her and ONLY her for English!!
Dr. Rima is the nicest prof I've ever had. She really cares about her students and always makes time if you need help or want to talk. If you're going through something, she totally gets it and works with you. Her class isn't hard as long as you show up and try, and she gives out a ton of extra credit. Super chill and just a genuinely kind.
Prof. Gulshan is a must take prof—she's caring and always supportive. Her class is low stress, and she's SUPER fair with grading. Lots of extra credit and she's always willing to help. One of the most genuine professors out there.
If you're looking for a professor who actually gets it, take Rima. She's one of the fairest graders out there. Periodd. straightforward, so so much extra credit, and no tricks. She's super duper kind, always understanding, and truly wants you to succeed. Truly my fave. I'll miss her when I transfer.
Easiest A if you just show up and do the work. Grading is mad fair, and she hands out extra credit like candy. Super chill, actually cares about her students, and always down to help if you're struggling. Whole vibe is positive and low-key. Total gem.
Prof Gulshan class was awful. She demanded perfection in this class. When we had individual meetings with Prof Gulshan after turning in our papers she never told me how to improve my writing for the next paper she said my paper was bad and moved on. She did not give clear instructions on her assignments and often gave hard to complete assignments.
There is no else like Dr. Gulshan! Just awesome, kind, & compassionate. Just completed class with her. She will help you so much. She had drafting sessions for all of April. Gives great feedback. Gives detailed feedback. She put the love of writing in me. No final, no pop quizzes. MUST TAKE!
Amazing prof. Easy to get more than 100% in class. Gives extra credit. Helpful. wants all students to do well. She doesn't give surprise quiz and no final. Really she is so nice.
i think dr. G is lovely! she's great teacher and mentor.worked on all transfer essays with her. she's super fun and knowledgable. gives very detailed feedback which was so helpful. Doesn't load you with work. No final. Easy to get A.
Of course, would take Dr. Rima again! What I like about her is she wants all students to do good. Helps you as much as you need. Even check your drafts beforee garding. Clear instructions on asignmnents.
Dr. G is so friendly and fun! Her knowlege on pop culture is current. Easy to make a good grade in her class. Doesnt load you with work. no pop quiz and final. Gives good feedback. Works with you on drafting. I say must take!!
Pretty chill and very nice. Best is she wants good for all student s. just finished last semester and she just stayed with us all of April to work on our dratfs. She does not rush you. Structured class, no work pile up. doesn't give any surprise quiz and no final. Extra credit is there. Best teacher!
Very difficult teacher, too strict and doesn't help. She would tell you to go to the writing lab to ask for help. If you make a mistake on your essay she won't tell you in what area you need to improve She just answer requirement no met no credit and she will give you a zero and at the end of the class she tells you " you fail the class"
By far best teacher! Kind, compassionate and helpful. Super helpful even meets you on weekends. Checks your drafts and gives you very detailed feedback. Understands work life balance. Doesn't overload you with work. No final, no surprise tests. Must Take!!

She is a point pincher and is always looking for a way to give out 0s. Gives out pop quizzes daily and any comers or outside of class at the start of the quiz have to miss and fail. Attendance is 2 absence letter grade drop 3 class failure. She is also extremely egotistical.
Amazing experience! Taking her again in fall. Very supportive and helps you all semester. Checks your drafts for best grade. Easy to get A if you do your work. No pop quiz, no final. Gives you extra credit also! Just amazing.
