Reviews of professor Shabnam Fani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Honestly, this prof gets bad reviews because this is a hard course. She covers questions in class that will be on the assignments and responds to emails quickly if it is important. Sometimes the lectures can be confusing, as she explains how to do things multiple different ways, but if you work hard to succeed, she will help you get there.

Took this class during spring and she was not a good prof at all. The class itself is relatively straightforward and isn't too difficult if you have some decent math skills but she refuses to reply to emails and reads her notes like a robot

Her teaching style is not very engaging as she just solves the question without much explanation or notes beyond whats already on the paper. She also does not solve all the question in her lecture notes and leaves some questions blank, and also she always rushes near the end of class. She also does not reply to emails.

Not horrible but not the best. She relies on the poor TAs a lot, so if you have a question its smarter to just email your TA about it instead of her. Tends to go kinda slow in class but it lets you work ahead on some problems and check your answers. Again, there are better profs but she is not too horrible.

it is difficult to understand her but going to class and taking notes will help you so much. she wrote really good notes that were super useful. She seems to really care about her students and was always available for office hours if you needed extra help. the textbook was the most helpful in the course. the online section is what helped my so well

Introductory statistics is novel, challenging, and requires a thorough review of notes. Despite this rating, I do not feel that Dr. Fanis methods are significantly poorer than other professors I have had. I would describe them as more than sufficient.

bad, everyone i knew in that class had to teach theirselves including myself.

Shabnam Fani was hands down the worst professor I have ever had. That woman simply does not care. She can take up to a week to reply to email (or ignore them altogether), the remote-delivered final exam was INCOMPLETE, she blew off Zoom meetings, and "taught" solely by reading from Scott's lecture notes. Rude, passive aggressive. AVOID.

She's probably one of the most useless professors. She reads off the texts that are given to us and makes the topics taught more difficult than they are. Robinson is not better because he is unreasonable when grading quizzes or midterms on webwork. Although she tries to be helpful but she skips steps and when she explains, it's irritating.
