Reviews of professor Nastaran Simarasl

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This professor is the worst professor I have ever had in my entire life. I took her for the graduate level class during the COVID-19. She was not empathetic at all, she would not accommodate us. Her quizzes didnt make sense, you can tell she gets the questions from a test bank and switches word around. This professor should not be teaching.

Professor was a not organized. She wanted everyone to have an open mind but would close up and get defensive when she was critiqued. Only had to read the easy simple chapters every week to prep for pop quizzes that were confusing. A group project is required, but instructio s were given a week prior to due date, and then graded harshly.

150 pages worth of reading every week. Participation counts towards your grade. She will pick on students and put them on the spot. She treated graduate students like kids. Her class was the lowest grade I ever got. Her class is about reading and taking quizzes before each class rather than being hands on learning. Grading didnt make sense at all

Took her for summer 5 week course. The exams are difficult, and the quizzes are way too easy. I dont think this is a good way to prepare students for exams. There is also a paper that she grades very hard and takes a very long time to grade. You wont know your final grade for a while. You have to work really hard for a good grade in this class.

Extremely tough grader! Even if you follow her directions, she will still give you a bad grade. She expects us to have a further understanding in the topic aside from textbook information, but has taught us none of that. If you want a good grade do not take this class, these writing assignments are worth 45% .
