Selected Student Qualitative Responses

“Professor Pandey, bless him, because he is so genuine, patient, and, most importantly, kind. He is the type of person who takes the time to really understand you and help you out in any way that he can. A very down-to-earth person, he’s someone you can trust and turn to for whatever you need. I’m really glad I took his class. He communicates extremely well and always provides exceptional feedback. I would take his class over and over again if I could. Thank you, professor, you have made a huge difference in my college career path. I won’t ever forget you!”

Student Review for ENGL 3330 (Intro to Tech Writing), Spring Semester 2023

“Professor Pandey was highly educated in this course and was undoubtedly helpful with the assignments. The assignments were comprehensive and lengthy, but the way he structured the class made it easy to stay on track and complete them fully and on time. Another positive aspect is that he provided us with assignments and tools relevant for our future adult lives (e.g., writing emails to authority figures). Additionally, he was understanding about deadlines and partner situations. He was committed to ensuring everyone’s success to the best of his ability. I am truly grateful for him!”

Student Review for ENGL 4335 (Studies in Rhetoric), Spring Semester 2023

“Dr. Pandey is very knowledgeable regarding proposal and grant writing. This course has been one of the most hands-on courses I have taken throughout the technical communication program. Although I did feel this course leaned toward the heavyweight side in terms of workload, I would say he does a wonderful job of teaching students how to prepare, write, and present professional proposals and grants. I would absolutely suggest that other students take this course with Dr. Pandey. I will be bringing many of the concepts and knowledge I learned from this course into the workplace.”

Student Review for ENGL 3330 (Intro to Tech Writing), Fall Semester 2022

“Before taking this course, I thought that proposal writing would be a very difficult skill to master. Dr. Pandey made the content easy to understand and apply. He provided great feedback, and all assignments were meaningful. I felt as if he did not assign work for the sake of assigning it, but actually because it would help our understanding of the material. I really enjoyed this course!”

Student Review for ENGL 421 (Technical Writing), Spring Semester 2021

“Typically, I do not enjoy English courses, and I prefer courses that deal more with numbers, but I really enjoyed learning about digital composing. The class was well-run, the lessons were clear, and it was taught in an interesting fashion that made the course engaging and easier to invest in its work. I have a lot of respect for Shyam for conducting this course in a unique and innovative manner, and I believe that it was successful, as I enjoyed it, and I’m sure my peers did as well. Shyam is very accessible, and I have felt comfortable going to him for help on assignments and to ask for advice. I enjoyed having him as my instructor as well as participating in his class.”
