She was nothing but encouraging and supportive. She makes her students push themselves. Very helpful when it came to suggesting extended reading material. Very knowledgeable lady.

Comment:
She knows her stuff really well, but is a very intimidating woman. All the comments are talking about how hard her course was, but I'm a psych major and I managed an 'A' in it, and I suck at english. She's probably not the easiest teacher but she prepares you very well for other english classes or any class that requires essays.

Comment:
Horrible proffessor! I would not recommend her for any course. She picks on people in class and even if you try to answer a question she often says your answer is wrong. Also she doesn't want people yawning in class. If you do bad in an essay and go see her she is not nice about it. Highly reccomend avoiding her!

Comment:
So she started the first class off by saying we were all zeros, and then held the opinion that we were all going to do bad. You deffinately have to show her that you are paying attention in class and work extremly hard... if you're lucky enough she wil pass you. And I suggest not yawning in her class. Best of luck!

Ok...wow...this truly was a horrible class to be in, i'm not gunna lie there were times where we had fun debates but other than that it's horrible. Very subjected to her own opinion and a very tough marker expect 50's and low 60's. Gave lots of information but didnt deliver it properlly. Does pick favourites. GOOD LUCK

Avoid like the plague, because she probably conjures it out of her boiling cauldron. Seriously the worst professor ever.

Avoid this professor! She is unable to comprehend any opinion other than her own. I attended all her classes (attendence is a MUST), Read all the material and wrote papers that would have earned me good marks in past courses. She failed me.

Comment:
I was in an accident, could not go to class, this isn't an excise with her though. Wrote an excellent paper but since I don't go to class she failed me. Went to talk to her about it, her response was "How do you expect to know what is in the books if you don't come to the lectures?" I was pissed so I just told her because I read the books and left.

Comment:
Never in my life have I ever come across someone with such a "My way or the highway" attitude. No matter how well you do on an essay, she will NOT take any opinion but her own..She has much to learn about opening her mind up to new and fresh ideas. She is the absolute worst professor in the school.. Avoid her at all costs.

She is the hardest professor i ever had!She doesn't open her mind up at all when it comes to other peoples views on a story and the only way to pass a test is if you use everything that she thinks the story is about and do not add any of your own thoughts because they are wrong or you didn't get the point as she would tell you!

Shes honestly not as bad as some people are saying. Yes, attendance counts with her. If you go to class, she gives you so much information on the novels there are no surprises on her tests. Read the novels, pay attention, and you'll do fine. Shes not cold-hearted when you show an effort. If you don't go to class, don't expect to do well.

Good prof, always in a good mood. Showing up for class is a must! She never did poetry in this course, which was a plus.

Dr. Baksh is wonderful! I look forward to English every day. She is always in a good mood, always pleasant to her students, and very helpful. You will be put on the spot sometimes, but if you read your materials and prepare for class (like you should anyway) you will be ok! P.S. I hate English, but she is making it manageable for me!

Ok, here's what you need to know about Stella. Show up to class! Read the books before you start them in class and think about the text. She's actually an amazing woman and if you work har enough to get an A from her, it really means something. She'll make you a better writer and reader so please, don't let your fear of her get in the way.

Comment:
Every negative comment said so far is right. She is the most cold-hearted woman I have ever meet. I actually was scared to go to class. The class would go silent as soon as she walked in and everyone would be petrified. I tried very hard in this course. She picks people that she will give bad marks and sticks to it no matter how hard u work. AVOID.

Comment:
A waste of life. There is no pleasing this woman. I worked harder in her class than I have worked in any course EVER, and still almost received a 70%. However, she marked my class so bad that someone stepped in and jacked our marks up by 10%. Overall, she has a vendetta against human life and makes students feel terrified to share their opinions.
