Probably the easiest English professor. Basically slept in the class all the time, still got an A. Super easy grader.

Don't believe any of the good reviews for Prof. Amatya. He's literally horrible and grades super hard. Also, his grading scale is so weird that you don't even know your grade in the class half of the time. It's really annoying, so I was constantly wondering what my grade was in the class.

He is a really caring and friendly guy and very understanding. Also he's a super easy grader so this class wasn't very stressful.

Definitely learned a lot about writing and literature of migration by taking this class. Transition to online teaching was smooth.

Dr. Amatya was an extremely chill guy, hands down. He taught a Global Environmental Justice themed English class. There were discussion boards every classes that were graded on participation, and the 'Artifact' projects were graded very leniently. The lectures themselves were kind of boring, but it was a very laid back class in general.

A lot of people said Professor Amatya was an easy grader, but that was not the case in my semester. Most of my classmates received B's in the class and he graded everything pretty harshly. If you're looking for an English class that'll get you an easy A, don't take one with him.

Dr. Amatya is a very nice man that really cares about his students, but his grading is very unclear and there's a lot of work. He boosts grades up at the end of the semester, but grading is unclear throughout. I had a B if you just go by his syllabus weighting, but he boosted me up to an A, but he didn't do the same for some of my friends.

The readings and lectures in Dr. Amatya's class were very insightful but I am biased having an interest in environmental science and related issues. I found it very helpful that he shared the class agenda for every class, which has detailed instructions for every activity. Overall, he's approachable and always ready to answer student questions.
