Would take again. She gives around 3 papers and works with class to do them properly and she's always available if you have a question. She takes her job seriously and does it well. Make sure to attend class and do the readings. She's not an easy grader but not impossible. She wants you to grasp the concepts and show it in your writing.

She takes her job very seriously. She is good at what she does, but the class is sometimes painful. Get on her good side by pretending you're a liberal. And participate lots. She loves that.

Professor DasBender is very nice, but not easy to pass. As an ESL student I wasn't used to writing long essays in English, but she is used to working with students like me so she knows how to explain and get the best out of her students. She won't give you anything for free, but if you really want to learn take her.

Comment:
Hardest English teacher I've ever had! She gives feedback on rough drafts but even if you improve those areas you still end up getting something wrong. Even after going to ARC and being told that my papers were good, I still ended up getting bad grades on them. She was the last professor available, I should have taken 1202 with another professor!

This professor is honestly the best teacher I have EVER had. A lot of people may think shes mean or scary but she that's just her sense of humor. She brutally honest which is something I admire. Its really important for her when students participate and answer her questions. She is really passionate, don't take her if you want an essay class.

Honestly Professor Dasbender wants you to do well but at the same time makes your work hard for your grade. She reads and gives feedback on rough and final drafts so take the advice to improve your writing. Overall she's an excellent professor, don't take her if you want an easy A because it won't happen.

Professor DasBender is a wonderful professor. She is extremely nice, and we always have good in class discussions. I love the class, but she's a pretty tough grader, so if you want to get an easy A I don't recommend the class. If on the other hand you want to become a better writer and learn something, definitely take her. I would take her again!

Professor Das-Bender is by far one of the best professors at Seton Hall. She was always available to help and really showed care for her students. I felt like I could go to her with other problems in other courses and she could still help. I highly recommend her for Women, Culture, and Society regardless of your major.

Honestly, this professor has compassion for teaching the class but it is over the line where I can't tell the difference if this is high school or college. The deadlines are easy but there is so much unnecessary writing and discussion. It is sometimes better to not say anything or state your opinion during discussion because there will be disagreem

Just happened to think of this site recently...I graduated a few years ago and still remember Prof. Das Bender as one of the best professors I've ever had. The class I was in was Advanced Writing and barely had 10 students in it which made it an incredible learning experience. I wasn't an Eng major, like the others, but she made me love writing.
