She is unhelpful when it comes to things she wants you to improve. She does not tell you why she grades you a certain way, she will just put "B" or "C-" on your paper with no explanation. There are pointless movies that she shows that are older than dirt. The subject is interesting, but the teacher is not. She appears to be rude. Not reccomended!

her grading is B- or B on all your assigments and if shes in a good mood she'll give you a B+ but thats very rare. if she doesn't like you she'll give you a bad grade and it isn't easy to get her to like you. all her grading is based on her opinion and hers alone. dont question her irrational grading because what she says has to be right.

If you aren't the best writer don't take her. I didn't like her class at all, she is a very tough grader on all written assignments. There are a few in class essays and one research paper you work on the whole semester(9+ pages). Two oral presentations. And at least two hw assignments per week(A reading with an writing assignment included).

Caring professor, but she is a hard grader. If you were going for GPA, I wouldn't recommend her. But if you wanted to learn how to write and research, you could take her class. Dont be afraid to ask question, she is very nice.

I really enjoyed her class when I took it this semester. She clearly cares both about the materials covered in class and her students even though this was an ASYNC class. Two assignments a week, a research paper and a midterm and final. I found all of the work pretty relaxed but the final and midterm were a little tough. Would gladly take again.

has been one of my more heavy loaded classes i have taken so far in college, 3-4 in class essays and 2 papers will be due throughout the course, with also presentations that you'll have to do in class. If you get the work done and manage your time, you will pass, she is reasonable and allows for late work if you check in with her

Important things to know: she expects two journals and a weekly discussion post. She grades hard, rarely gives out 100%, and does not post clear rubrics for the assignments. All of her assignments are on current social issues which is nice to educate yourself about. This is not it if you're going for a GPA and want an easy class.

Professor Banerjee runs a solid class. Expect plenty of writing assignments, but she's a fair grader if you put in the work. Unstuck AI proved helpful for studying and staying on top of the workload.

Professor gives 2 journal assignments per week with 300 words minimum each journal and are all about social justice issues. She grades unnecessarily hard for the journal assignments which are supposed to be YOUR OWN THOUGHTS/OPINIONS on the article. Very hard grader, class high score never reached 100 for any assignments and not the best feedback.

Prof. Banerjee is a very forgiving, understanding and a caring professor. BUT! her grading system is very strict. She barely gives 100 and even getting a 73/100 would boost your grade up by 1%. If you're failing in her class, good luck in trying to pass. She has new modules every week and expects at least two essays every two weeks.

She gives really general feedbacks and I found her lectures a bit boring. No offense, but her monotone voice delivers me to sleep many times despite how hard I tried to stay awake. Moreover, her feedbacks are really confusing and don't help much. My friend was told to develop her ideas further all the times without knowing which point specifically.

I loved this teacher with my whole heart and truly believe she cares about her students' success. She offered us the chance to revise papers, assignments, and work on missed assignments to get a better grade. I would take her class again in a heartbeat, not only because she is a fair, quality teacher, but a good person.

Took C1001, or 1C. Very understanding, gives extensions as long as you communicate with her. Really sweet, but lots of in-class work feels like busy work. Minimal homework but you have to put lots of effort in. Rarely gives 100s. Essays she is MUCH more particular about. Weekly hw includes discussion + journal. Large research paper @ end of sem.
