Reviews of professor Maryam Khezrzadeh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's really sweet and caring. Knows her stuff, and open to course structuring feedback. Really enjoyed her class. She uses questions from the textbook, so read it but work mostly off of her slides.

Maryam is very open to feedback and gives feedback if you ask. She teaches well and is clearly a passionate instructor. 1712 definitely requires more work relative to other first term courses so I recommend understanding her slides well and using textbook to reinforce what she teaches. Would gladly take another course taught by her if I could.

This class was designed absolutely terribly. We are rushed by a strict time limit to complete the only application-based material, and everything else is pure memorization. Maryam is only an instructor for the salary and it shows. She doesn't even read her own department's emails to her, let alone students'. If you are ESL, GOOD LUCK.

Lectures are terrible 
Walking textbook
Says you can ask questions but gets mad when done so
Unfair grading 
Figure it out your self response when you ask questions 
Expects students to know everything 100%

Drop her if you have the chance. I'm not sure how she got 4.5/5 other than fake reviews because my experience with her is much different. My perspective of her is the following:
-hypocritical
-condescending
-gaslights students
-ill-informed !!!
Maryam does not understand her own content (+ she got 5/10 on her own quiz) and avoids questions

She was a very bad teacher. In lecture, she basically just recited the text book but would leave out some information. Then her "practice quizzes" were just taken from the question bank at the back of the textbook so even if she omitted something from the lecture it would still be on the practice quizzes. Overall a terrible prof!

Horrid class, I came to BCIT's CST program because I was told by advisors it was a practical, application based program. Then I get slapped in the face by this class that forces me to learn more BS key terms than a first year biology class. Maryam makes lectures interesting, but it is evident she puts 0 effort into facilitating learning. JUST PASS.
