Reviews of professor Rahmon Pashtunyar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Honestly just a chill guy, the lectures are engaging and he definitely shows interest in what he's talking about. Only thing I've noticed is that he grades essays fairly strictly and can (imo) tell when you're BS-ing parts of it. Just speaking from experience and I still did fine, class didn't give me too much trouble overall. Would recommend

Make sure to do every assignment or risk losing 5% of your grade. You are graded on a few things: weekly discussion posts (500 words), 3 big papers (1k-1.5k words), and 2 class meetings with him. Don' miss any of this and I'm sure you can get an A. Ask for outside help, the vocab is difficult, and his 3 lectures aren't much help. All self-learning.

The class was once a week for an hour and 15 minutes. Before each class, you do a reading and come in class and respond to some questions he puts on the board on paper. That is basically your participation grade and the papers overall aren't hard. Your final paper is where you want to live and justifies why you want to live there. Easy COMM class.

Very chill and laid back professor. He tries his best to make you feel comfortable to speak freely. I felt very comfortable to speak about my own thoughts and opinions easily in class. Usually weekly quizzes. For this class, as long as you put in effort, you will be good. Also major speeches are graded a bit more tougher. Lowkey talks fast though

I had him at EVC. Really easy grader, but doesn't really explain his thinking for essay grades (kinda my fault for not asking either) and took a long time to grade discussions/assignments. The notes he gives are understandable and very in-depth but can be long. We didn't have any Zoom classes or in real-life classes.
