She is anything but great. She was very rude to people, and very unclear about assignments. She would tell us to pick our own topic to write about, and nearly everything anyone suggested was rejected. She was also somewhat **** in her opinions.

She's not a very uptight teacher, however she isn't very fair with grading. She's one of those teachers that you have to be on her very good side in order to get a good grade sorta thing.

She gave me a C when I deserved a B. Bad teacher, didn't teach me anything

She was very unclear on what she wanted! When I asked for help she was very vague in her answers. I learned nothing during her classes. When the class started there were 28 students and people who wanted to add. At the end of the semester there were 7 students left in the class. That says it all!

She's a punk. Dont take her. She does not teach. I have to be a teachers pet just to get a good grade. She just doesn't teach anything in her class. She makes us read a loud as if we were in 3rd grade. She does not grade fairly.

She is the worst teacher I have ever had! She is vague, ambiguous, and horrible! When it came time to do a ten page research paper she was so incredibley unorganized and vague! No one knew what the hell she wanted from us. She sucks, and I can't believe she is still teaching! If you want an easy A--go for it, but you'll have nothing but headaches!

It is hard to believe that someone like her could be teaching at a college level. She is never straight forward about what she wants, and is consistantly unorganized. She is demeaning and rude at times-especially when you ask her to be more specific. I made that mistake, and all she could do was put me down. SHE IS BY FAR THEE WORST INSTRUCTOR!

She came in one day and gave us a huge assignment (worth 10% of semester grade) which was not on the syllabus. Her instructions were confusing and self-contradictory, yet refused to clarify details, saying "You know what to do, stop asking questions." She then gave ZERO credit to 28 of 30 students in the class for not following the instructions. :(

don't take her.

The class was pretty easy but whenever you would get your papers back, you would always get the same comments. Then when you would ask her to help you figure out what was wrong with your paper, she would be evasive about it, saying things like "it could've been written better".

I got good grades on all my essays and did all the homework and in-class assignments... I should've gotten at least a "B"... and this teacher ended up giving me a "C". She's smart because she asks for all the work to be turned in at the last day of school... So if you take her, remember to make a copy of all the assignments with the points on them, so you have proof to show the school that she gave you the wrong grade at the end of class... otherwise, DON'T TAKE HER...

dont take her

She is completely unorganized. She likes to leave the room and come back 40 min. later. She does not hand out any promts. Her essay formats are ridiculous. Summary, biography, and then analysis. She is a very funny person though, and keep all of your work. Easy class, but you can probably learn more from a monkey.

Don't pay attention to the syllabus because she DOESN"T!! Acharya is extremely disorganized which leads to classroom chaos.She routinely stepped out for coffee for 40 mins. during our class.Group work is a joke!She is not specific with ANY instructions & she has a problem with showing up for her office hours.Way too much Havoc for 4credits

PROFESSOR ACHARYA IS NOT GOOD AT ALL! SHE DOES NOT FOLLOW HER SYLLABUS AND SHE IS VERY UNORGANIZED! NOT VERY CLEAR WITH INSTRUCTIONS! NOT WORTH PAYING MONEY FOR THIS CLASS............

DO NOT take this prof. if you want better than a C. Prof. does not follow syllabus and is very dis-organized. Gives prompts 1 or 2 days before 6 page paper is due. Not impossible if your only class w/ no life. Tardiness not tolerated, but she leaves 30-40min for coffee. No lecture to explain material and cannot give clear examples of what she wants

One of the worst teachers I have ever had!

Pay attention to her ratings!! I wish I had! This is not a critical thinking class, it is a class on feminism. She is nice, but her assignments are unclear, she does not give feedback, and will give different instructions to individual students. If you want an A, or even want to learn, DON'T take her class!

My college GPA 3.6 this teacher has decided Im a D student. I would write papers she would say this doesnt follow prompt asking where it doesnt and she replied oh it's implied.I went to her paper inhand 2 days before it was due she said looks good I got a D I had other english teachers read the prompt, my paper they said it was at least a B

She was a nice person and class wasnt so bad but she was completely unclear with what she wanted from the assignments. She would tell different students different things and then look at you like you were crazy if you asked her to clarify. I would never take her class again and everyone in my class shared my views.

Group sessions is NOT teaching. I learned nothing. I might have just stopped going to class and read the footnotes in the text; I learned more THAT way than by attending. What a waste of time.

The good news: she's nice. The bad news: everything else. She is horribly unorganized, her directions are almost incomprehensible and I learned absolutely nothing. Hands down, THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. Taking her class is essentially a semester-long migraine.

1st of all u get marked down 4 not agreeing w/her even if u show evidence 4 ur opinion. im usually an A student in Eng im majoring in it and still got a C! also she expected us to rewrite a 6 pg paper in 1 day because she changed her mind on the topic. Never says what she expects, I don't think she even knows and no use asking 4 help shes useless

Oh boy, this teacher is a joke. She doesn't even know what she has assigned and rarely lectures. Most of the class revolved around watching youtube. Would have been alright, but she grades her papers really hard. She couldn't even explain why she gave me the grades she did. Nonsense Professor!

All the comments below are true. I took her class and hated it like my class mates. She changes her mind alot, plus its hard to understand what she wants. She cant explain how to write any type of essay required by her. Who ever said she doesnt care if you learn was soo correct. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BTTER PROFESSORS!

ughh keep away!!! seems nice but then surprises u at the end of the course with an F.

DO NOT take this class. This is for your benefit. She does not care about you or your grade; she losses students work, and then says that it was not done. I am an A/B student, and she gave me a C. She tell students one thing and does something different, so save yourself the trouble and take a different professor because she shames all English professors.

this lady should not be teaching. waste of time!!!!! gives busy work then leaves to her office to have her lunch. her expectations of you are not clear. learned nothing from this class and she will not (or is not) able to help you in her course. 5 essays in this course 3 of which are in the last two months of semester. absolutely awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are lucky enough to read this before taking her class STAY AWAY!!!! ALL of the the comments on her are pretty accurate. You will learn nothing from her and just waste time and energy.

WORST Professor I've had at RCC so far. She is incredibly unclear on what she wants from you in your essays, doesn't prepare you to write them what so ever! And she lectures MAYBE a total of 2 classes, the rest was group work or watching a movie...You learn nothing about how to improve your writing skills! STAY AWAY!

She is very unorganized and she is unclear about what she wants. Do not take her unless you want to be more confused about english

If you manage to read this before taking her class then you might have been saved. Yeah she is a nice lady but that's about she goes over nothing with you, and you are doubtful to get anything out of the class. She is by far the worst teacher I've had yet so far and would strongly suggest that you take someone else.

Very unorganized. We had lectures for the first month or so after that she showed videos and documentaries and sent us to the library instead of instructing. The instructions were unclear for assignments. She broke faculty rules several times, but has been here too long to be fired, so just don't take her class. Not dsps friendly.

She is nice but I would not recommend her class. She gives due dates and then forgets when they are. She makes you turn in your homework only to give it back to you without putting it in her grade book. If you do not give her the piles of homework at the end of the semester she doesn't give you points. Unorganized.

OK, I am not one to really post about a teacher but hell. This teacher is REALLY REALLY REALLY un-organized. She lost three of my papers which put a ding on my grade. She isn't clear about what she is looking for in a paper.All assignments are group work so its not really fair to everyone. Doesn't follow her schedule. All in all DO NOT TAKE HER!

Not Helpful. Not organized. I did not understand what she was talking about. Gives busy work. Definitely not reliable when it comes to grades. Terrible. Not recommended.

Horrible teacher, she is never clear about the homework she assigns. She is very unclear about assignments that need to be turned in. Gives a ton of busy work, very unorganized. Never know your grade for the class until the end. Is very forgetfull about due dates and what she assigned.

her class so bad she never explain what she want you to do everything in groups expect essays dont take her class

Worst professor I have ever taken. Get ready for quizzes from the textbook but also her random google searches, material that wasn't covered in class and that you aren't even sure are real. Replaces lectures with YouTube vids. Doesn't know what she's talking about and it shows by how much she has to search for. Stretches class out but won't cut it.

She is not very clear on what she wants from the class. Very nonlinear in her thought process, always jumping around, it's very difficult to follow. For some reason she didn't pass out or email us the study guides/homework/etc, she would project it onto the board and you would have to take a picture with your cell. Very difficult.

She NEVER responds to emails, everything has to be turned in physically and she's never in her office. If you take her, your syllabus is your guide because she WILL NOT tell you assignments are due until the day they're due. She doesn't give any details on assignments and drops people immediately if they don't show up. I don't recommend her at all!

Professor Acharya didn't teach anything in lectures. The discussions were dominated by two students in my class and they taught me more than she did. The class seems laid back but my essays were graded harshly and I didn't know what I did wrong. I felt confused throughout her class and I didn't know what was going on half of the time.

horrible with technology. didnt know how to put our grades in the system so spent a whole semester having no idea what my grade is. nice lady but harsh grader that gives no rubric or feedback as to what you did wrong, often hard to reach via email, and useless with technology despite us being online only. Seriously pls dont take her class.

If you can avoid taking this class, PLEASE do so. This professor is way harder with English 1A than English 1B. She's not clear with what she wants on her essays and discussions. It feels like no matter how hard you try, it's like she wants you to fail. She doesn't give helpful feedback at all either.

Nice person but horrible grader/teacher. She felt the need to say that going to class was not mandatory but changed her mind midway through the semester. She does not grade clearly, has terrible powerpoints, and will assign work on the same day it's due. I'd avoid going into this class and to just look for another teacher instead.

I never knew what my grade was throughout the course so I didn't even know if I was currently failing or passing her class. Unnecessarily a harsh grader and does not give any help or remarks to help you understand what you can do to have a better paper. Some essay prompts will have you do 6 pages or more when it can easily be done with less pgs.

Discussion post/ response that answered the prompts, exceeded the length requirements, and was grammatically sound? 8/10 Grade for first homework assignment: 9/10 with feedback: "Excellent points". I don't know how she arbitrarily decides your score, but as an A student who does the work, I didn't appreciate it. Dropped.

Don't bother turning in late work! Save your time and energy for any other class. Even if it's late by just a few minutes she won't accept it and docks points if you don't meet her high expectations on homework and essays. Never got full points on anything just doing the minimum word count, despite covering everything she asked for in the prompts.

This class was stressful for no reason.

She was not helpful throughout the entirety of the course. would ask for why I got a certain grade and every time the only critique she'd give me was "there were some format errors," but never went beyond that. scheduled zoom meetings n' all she could give was "it wasn't what she wanted." If you HAVE to take her, good luck. This class was awful.

Most of her lecture consist of things that you are not going to need in your exam and papers. She never give any feedback or how to revise your papers. I suggest to AVOID her class at any cost.

This professor doesn't seem like she cares about giving you a good grade, seems like her ego is bigger than wanting the students to succeed. She barely gives feedback. Avoid taking her at all costs. She never gives a perfect score even though her minor feedback is "excellent".

She is nice but unfortunately she really is a bad professor. Doesn't explain why she docks points even if keep asking about it, despite matching every requirement in her rubric she WILL give you the lowest score in your tier, if 10 or 9 out of 10 is an A, she will give you a 9/10. She also keeps work locked right until a few hours before it's due.

Regrettably the worst teacher/experience I've ever had. She does not give clear instructions on assignments and when she will drop them. Barely gives any time between assignments. Will not take any legitimate excuse for an extension if needed. Grades REALLY harshly and refuses to give clear reason as to why. Late in submitting final grade.

Really awful educator. Not tech savvy, consistently made errors on due dates and did not inform the class of last minute date changes. Provides zero feedback even if you beg for it, refuses to give full credit, I dont think a single student got 10/10 even once. Its a shame she is able to fail students without beint stopped. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

shes one of the worse teachers i ever took. i understand that shes also a human being and had a lot going on with her husband since he has cancer but it is not an excuse to give us loads of work and essays when half of the time she wasnt even present at her own class. Discussions were impossible to get 10/10. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS

Do not take! She's not tech savvy. You will never get a 100%. Miss 1 day and drop a letter grade. No communication with students. Constantly forgetting to upload assignments. Stay up on sunday cause she uploads 8-10pm and are expected to read before class. In-class assignments are not graded. Weekly WRC/Lab, Discussions, and Study Questions. Run!

Never take her class, she is awful. She will make you embarrassed in front of the whole class. She is very raced as well. I took her class and cried because of her, then dropped her class. She ruined my grades, cut all my points, and said that I couldn't write, but even WRC instructors said my writing was so good.

She's horrible never gives 10/10 even if i write them really well! No feed back on how i can Improve them! Always just gives me 7-8/10 and says good job! Never gives good grades to anyone in the i even asked my class mates!

she is the worst professor ever!

She is an awful educator, always makes errors on due dates, and does not inform the class of last-minute date changes. She provides zero feedback even if you beg for it and refuses to give full credit. I don't think a single student got 10/10 even once. It's a shame she can fail students without being stopped. She is so races is well.

Avoid this professor at all costs! She's disorganized, unhelpful, and harsh with grading. The class is extremely difficult, with strict attendance policies and unclear instructions. However, Unstuckstudy could be a lifesaver for study prep.
