Reviews of professor Ellen Kombiyil

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Tons of reading first half of the semester. After that its focused down to individual projects. Don't skip classes there are in class assignments. She ultimately wants to help you improve writing, so she lets you revise papers as she believes its very helpful for improving writing skills. All in all Good teacher.

These reviews are scary, shes not that bad at all. Very understanding of deadlines but she does have a lot of "busy work" other than that, shes very understanding and is super sweet!

(PART 2) Though the homework readings can be tedious, I recommend doing them since there are in-class writings based on the readings that we have to submit during class. Also, PARTICIPATION MATTERS!!!

These reviews don't portray the class the way it's like in reality. Yes, professor assigns many readings, but nothing impossible.Yes, we have other classes to handle, but this teaches you time management. Very considerate if extension is needed. As for calling students on the spot, that barely happened unless you look deep in thought or confused.

Part 2: She lacks respect for students' boundaries by randomly choosing people to speak to in class. As an anxious person, it made me extremely uncomfortable and hindered my ability to focus. I missed a few classes due to my depression and it took a toll on my grade despite doing extremely well in my papers.

Probably my favorite professor. She's clear in what she wants and knows how to relay that info to students. While this class can be a bit reading intensive at times in terms of volume, it's not difficult in terms of content. Just show up to the lectures, keep track of when your papers are due and you'll be alright.

This professor is so passionate about creative writing along with knowledgeable about her material. She has an amazing heart in which she truly cares for her students. Workshops are important, dont be absent & participate. Its a class to discuss & receive constructive feedback. The readings are super interesting & enjoyable. Awesome class & prof!

lots of homework but liked the class

Part 3:She graded my final research paper last minute and I received a bad grade. This dramatically impacted my grade and was unfair because I was not allowed to redo it. I invested time and effort in a mediocre class but did not get the grade I deserved. There are indeed good reviews about her but I believe these are people of skilled writers.

A lot of daily readings but that's all

She gives a decent amount of work so be prepared for that. Other than that she's super nice and is very knowledgeable, definitely one of the best classes I had at Hunter.
