Reviews of professor Blessy Samjose

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Will not accept absences.  Makes mistakes on grading and takes it out on you.

Blessy was a great instructor. Very forgiving when I would turn in assignments late. very clear grading criteria and offers guidance if there is confusion. There were weekly readings and roles to go along with that, very simple. Truth be told, I never once read a full book or the readings, just picked out parts that applied to the prompts!

DONT take this class with her. She is a grad student, and she has improved but the class is pretty terrible. I will end the class with an A, but I have learned nothing. Her grading can sometimes be unclear and unpredictable. 1 test, 1 group project, weekly journals and a final 5-7 pg paper. dont buy books, you can get by with not doing the readings

Blessy is such a sweet person and very understanding however the class is very very long. Discussion based so the whole 3 hours is basically asking your opinion on the assigned book which is not hard at all but gets very repetitive and boring. Easy reads, 500 word weekly assignments, and one final project. Not too bad.

I took the asynchronous version of this class, and it was very easy. Since we read Childrens books, the readings did not take very long, and the blog posts were usually pretty straightforward. The final project was kind of daunting, but after completing it, it was not that bad. I would recommend using a library card and checking out books early

Not kidding, if you are looking for a 2000 level writing class DO NOT take her class. Her grading is not clear, you can get 2 out of 5 just because she think you miss something important from the book. BUT! it's an after reading discussion, it meant to be open for every kind of thought. The task is heavy, you have to pay for the book sometime

Blessy is the sweetest ever!!! She gave a lot of readings, but I never read them just skimmed and she goes over them in class. It is important to go to class. There was only one quiz and a final paper which I got As on both. People who complained about this class/professor were just lazy-- trust me. Ask questions when confused and she clears it up

She doesn't plan her curriculum well so it is agony sitting in class for 3 hours while she is going along. Her grading is sloppy. We read a story and we all interpret it different but if we don't get the main idea SHE HAS we are wrong. And I hated that. She will give you 0's if she thinks you didn't answer it HER WAY.

I took the 3 hour version of EDUTL 2368 and if you get bored sitting in an hour lecture do not take this class in that version. The lectures are boring because doing anything for 3 hours is boring, but I still thought that she had clear topics for each class. Besides the format of the class, Ms. Samjose is an easy grader and super sweet!
