To the poster saying she's hardly qualified to be an English teacher: You're kind of backwards. She has a masters in English and another Masters in Education, planning and management. Along with over 25 years of teaching experience. Although she has an accent, she is very clear in explaining whatever subject is at hand. If you get anything less than an A, then you were not serious about the class to begin with. Great teacher, very friendly and accomodating. Will help whatever the case. Will help if u ask.

Textbooks are a NECESSITY, and pretty pricey. Rizvi is okay, but the TA is completely different. TA wants to wreck your grade. She's EXTREMELY nit-picky and grades majority of assignments. I had to constantly argue for my grade. It's almost like she's your teacher instead. You'll get EC on discussion posts, but consider taking another professor.

I wouldnt really say she was a bad teacher she was a great teacher her ta was just soooo picky with grading she would dock you off points for anything she could find even one minor spelling mistake out of the whole essay will get you points docked off.

At first, I was worried her class was going to be really hard; however, the class was the easiest class I have taken so far. She gives extra points for going beyond what she asks for and gives extra credit assignments. I recommend her 100%!

Amazing professor. If you need help and have any questions, she will answer your questions as quickly as she can in her email. Very kind and thoughtful. Gives you plenty of extra credit to make up anything you need. very easy. Her assistant is a tough grader on the essays but can still get a good grade. I highly recommend enrolling in her class.

One of the best professors I've ever taken! I took both English 1A and 1D with her and she was very understanding. She held weekly Monday morning office hours for anyone in need of help. Only downside was her TA who is a very tough grader. Put effort into all your work and professor will give extra credit, especially for discussions.

Great teacher to complete ENG 1A with during the summer. Very manageable six week course so long as you are on top of the essays and start them when they are released. Offered weekly meetings to discuss questions and upcoming assignments / exams that were really helpful. If you write well you could also possibly earn extra credit.

Mrs. Rizvi is an amazing teacher! This was my first online college course and as a high-schooler I found her extremely easy going, she really does care about her students in matter of workload and how to challenge her students the correct way. I couldn't think of a better teacher for English if I had to!

This professor will give you grace periods and extend your assignments if you're going through hardships. She's forgiving and will help you pass her class as long as you're able to put set aside an hour and 30 mins a week you should be able to pass her class easily. This class does require 2 textbook so make sure buy them early.

I suggest taking this class online. She won't post your assignment online, you will have to jot it down when she assigns it in class. Her TA is a meticulous ass grader, she only grades the essays though. Overall she's chill and nice. Lwk a lot of writing and reading, but you get a week.

She is a very kind professor and easy going, the assignments include some amount of reading and writing but she gives us plenty of time to do it. We only had a few essays which werent too hard. She also allows late work to be turned in. Overall she is a funny and kind professor I have no regrets picking her as my first english professor.

I loved Rizvi's caring nature, but ran into confusion with her TA, who graded much differently than Rizvi herself. There was a lack of communication between the two that resulted in back and forth emails in order to gain clarity. While the class was a breeze otherwise, the TA's comments were not always the easiest to decipher and/or contradictive.

She is very understanding and gives students additional time to submit assignments, even if they have passed their deadlines. Assignments primarily consist of essays and reflection summaries. There is also a research paper, which I found to be easy. I appreciate that she allows us plenty of time to complete our assignments.

Professor Rizvi's class was very easy and understandable. I usually find myself not enjoying writing but the weekly journals were thoroughly enjoyable. Weekly assignments usually include two journal entries (200 word minimum each), and either an analysis assignment or essay (essays were 600 word minimum). Make sure to write extra for more points!

The weekly assignments were pretty easy, though the instructions were sometimes confusing. As long as you meet the word count and generally seem to put in some effort, you'll do good and usually get some extra points. Only one research paper, and there were 2 books to read, which you can probably find online.

If I had to take English 1B again, it would be with Professor Rizvi. Professor Rizvi cares about her students and does not want her students to fail her class. As long as you read the books and do everything the assignments ask you to do, you'll pass the class without a doubt.

Professor Rizvi, is a caring about her students. She gives amazing feedback on the work that is given, and easy to understand. The one thing if considered taking this class is her TA, she is rude and she's is charge of grading one assignment throughout mid-semester. The TA wants the way that leads to her expectations.

Prof. Rizvi is sweet and helpful. If you have any questions, she'll answer them honestly. You'll be reading from the required textbooks for homework a lot. However, the grading was somewhat confusing, as there were no weighted categories. There's extra credit and the Goleman library, where the TA grading will help with your essays---very important!

Her class was pretty easy and you could get an A easy. She has 3 assignments due on Sunday, and as long as you reach the word count, she gives you full credit. TA grades the essays harshly. I just made sure to always go over the word count for the discussions because she gives extra credit on those, and they make up for the points lost in essays.
