Reviews of professor Nasia Anam

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was not hard but extremely boring. I would not call this a history class, this was more of a philosophy class which was annoying. We had weekly discussions graded on participation, two papers that are not long, and a mid-term and final (not too difficult/open note). The lectures were extremely boring and you are expected to read a lot.

Avoid at all cost if necessary. She gives little feedback and docs points if she doesnt agree with what you write. She absolutely gives out too many writing assignments with little to no explanation. She also takes 100 years to put in grades.

Professor Anam taught the large amount of very challenging material an Intro to Literary Theory and Criticism in a way that was engaging and digestible. She taught me how to write an effective, concise essay that handles theory and literature effectively. I like and respect Dr. Anam immensely. She has been one of the most influential profs for me.

This class was pretty easy. There were only two papers that we had to do, and the final and mid-term were both take-home exams. The only thing is you have to make sure you go to the discussion! Attendance was mandatory. This was graded by having a short-question quiz on what was taught the day before and was given during the discussion.

Showed up to 4 classes when participation was mandatory and still got a B. An easy grader for a CH class, a good choice for ch202.

She was very by the book and didn't like it when something happened that threw her off. I had an emergency one class and had to step outside multiple times to take calls. She emailed me stating how disrespectful I was to the other students. She also believes that her writing style is the best and there is no other way to write a paper. Avoid.

I actually had Professor Anam for 486B this semester. I found her class really interesting, and you can tell she cares a lot about the subject. The class itself isn't too hard as long as you show up and participate.

Dr. Anam requires her students to read one or two English theorists twice a week, 4-5 hours weekly. The structure of the class is read and go to class for discussion, but what made this class horrible is she hardly teaches. The students learn from other students. The texts are HARD! and you shouldn't be learning from other students. DO NOT TAKE!!

Her class lacked structure and was often very boring in regards to her teaching style. She isn't receptive to criticism of her teaching despite numerous complaints by other students. She offers no constructive feedback on essays, just that you did great or did bad. She's also condescending in the way she talks to her students. Avoid if possible!
