Reviews of professor Cyrus Dioun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cyrus is truly interested in the student experience & developmental process that comes with grad school. He makes a point to learn about his students, to provide and ask for quality feedback and make adjustments as a result, and to get people thinking about how they engage with the world. He'll give you in return what you offer to the shared space.

Terrible. Great research scholar, I'm sure, but does not respect the fact that most of these students are trying to finish and is putting up a rather large barrier to finish. Not interested in being a resource either. Sometimes data analytics and a life of research don't translate to being a good teacher. YES, you do get empathy in the real world.

Only 4 deliverables: 2 papers, 1 group project, 1 exam.  Leaves little room to work on your grade or get a feel for what/how he tests. Lack of rubric for papers. Tons of reading from a variety of sources and perspectives. Speech pattern can be hard to follow with lots of trailing off sentences and bad audio. Interesting and introspective class.

Was expecting the class to be more difficult.
