Reviews of professor Nabaparna Ghosh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This woman should not be teaching. While she is passionate about the topics, she stresses small things too much, and I found that what she talks about doesn't actually really matter in the real world. Don't let the syllabus scare you though, its a relatively easy A, and you don't need to do all the readings she assigns.

Professor Ghosh is an AMAZING person and genuinely is passionate about her topics. The course itself is reading heavy and involves a lot of lectures with minimal discussion. The course had a lot of great activities towards the end. She's a surprisingly aggressive grader but is overall really approachable outside of class.

Professor Ghosh has been one of my favorite professors at Babson. South Asian History is a discussion-heavy class, so be prepared to participate (if you don't, she will reach out to you about it). There was no textbook, but she selects highly relevant and interesting readings (articles, short stories, novels, documentaries, etc). Highly recommend!

Never take her!!! She did not grade anyone's participation in our class correctly. We were all shocked when we received our grade and that only 1 student received an A. During office hours, we were told our participation and class effort are exceptional and most of us have received a horrible participation and final project grade

She should not be a teacher. She is not open to students' ideas or original thoughts. It's difficult to get an email reply from her. Extremely difficult grader who gives unclear and vague prompts but then takes off points for you not reading her mind. Participation matters a lot, but she won't give you an A unless you say what she wants to hear.

Easy class, but hard to get an A (because there are some group projects that might be out of control.) She cares a lot about participation, and there are readings every week. If you just want an easy class for FCI and are ok with getting A-/B+, this class is the right choice.

I am really surprised by the divided comments below. Prof Ghosh was the favorite of our section . She is sweet and understands students academic and personal pressures. She is a Gem. I have recommended others to take her courses.

Loved class discussions. Global cities both relevant and good for understanding real estate.
