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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

She is SUCH a BADDIE. Best prof ever. I'm a comp sci major and I literally did not want to take this class bc...why? What am I going to use it for? But she made it so fun and easy. Just show up, do the bare minimum, you'll get that A.
