Reviews of professor Mitra Shabestari

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This lab class is awful, it is conducted terribly. Labs are live on Canvas Conference. I spent over 6 hours doing every lab, because of how many times I had to redo it, which was the only reason why I got an A. Most of the time I would do sections before the lab meeting just to finish quicker and leave the conference.

First off I did have to drop the class, the biggest problem in her class from my point of view is her quizzes. She gives 6 quizzes for 40%, and she gives you a very large question pool to study and sometimes the questions aren't even in the pool. She is the tuffest grader i've ever had If you do not answer the question her way she will fail you.

I had this professor for the online physic 2 labs. When doing a lab online it is mainly done on your own but she was very helpful when anyone ran into problems. She is a sweet person and is very approachable to ask questions. Again, I only had her for the lab.

This instructor is the WORST I've ever experienced in my college career. She overcomplicates basic concepts. Blames students for their own misunderstanding. Heavy workload, pre-lectures, homework, and quizzes. Had to teach myself from the textbook. Lectures are mandatory but I would just put it on and leave it. Does not set up students for success.

It's not uncommon that bad comments about a teacher have a lot to do with the student, but Dr. Shabestari is not that case. Not only does she not have office hours, but her lack of communicative skills, obvious bias for favorites, and inability to properly teach are noticeable the second you are stuck. Utter lack of respect for students.

Shes literally the worst. The quizzes are 40% of your grade and only 6 questions each so there is no room for error. Homework is long and not related to her lectures. 100% on homework wont make up for bad quiz grades. She only answers emails if you absolutely hound her. Attendance is graded. No leniency whatsoever. Dont take her.
