Im in her class now and am doing well. She is funny in a subtle way and a nice teacher. She pushed me to do better. I would take her class again and am recomending her class to my friends. You do have to go to the library for workshops. They do help though.

My favorite thing about Professor Bhogal is that shes very easy to understand. She takes time to make sure you get it. I enjoyed her class. We had to go online and she made it less stressful. Take her class!

I liked her style of teaching. She was very clear on what she expects out of you and grades fairly. She is available for meetings and feedback if and when needed. Would recommend her class.

Professor Bhogal needs to herself take some classes on being a better teacher. She is a super hard grader. Not helpful at all. She is very smart aleck. She is a teacher and she don't even teach. Nobody can meet her very high standards, she failed a lot of my classmates. She does not give you clear directions. I would not recommend taking her class.

Hardest class I've taken and I've been in honors gate and AP classes since middle school. I had a 4.0 until her class. She expects you to do more in the assignments than she teaches in her lectures and she never gives rubrics. When I asked if I was doing something right she said yes but when I asked her to look over it again she said it was wrong.

She expects more from her students than what she teaches. She doesn't give any instruction on how she wants her essays done. The workload isn't bad, there is just 3 timed essays, some random assignments, and a final research paper.

She is a tough grader. The only time I got full points on an assignment was when it was graded automatically by canvas. She doesn't give good feedback, she doesn't say how she wants her essays done. Basically, you better already be good at writing before you enroll in this class.

Toughest grader I've ever had! She's not rude and she is knowledgeable, but I've never had my assignments nitpicked so harshly before. There are better professors to choose for B1A/B1AL!

A real tough grader. Don't give good feedback. Expects you to be a professional at essays, so you better already be good at writing before you enroll in this class. I got help from another professor and a couple of people with their master's and they said they never had to do the work she is giving. Also don't grade/ assignments throughout canvas.

Very unforgiving professor, took her before and the grading was tough, she has a nice personality, but when it comes to doing the material, she's not so nice, doesn't give clear feedback. Also doesn't care for excuses when it comes to missing classes, whether it be an emergency or not, would definitely not recommend taking her class

The professor is a tough grader, but if you engage with the material and use study tools like unstuckstudy, you can succeed. Be prepared to put in the work, as the class is challenging but rewarding for those who are committed.

She seemed nice, but the course seemed so elementary at the beginning. She does not really talk about the research paper until you only have like a week and a half to complete it. If you miss one chapter of the novel, you can not take the weekly quiz. She talks like she grades lightly, but when you get your work back, you find out otherwise.
