Reviews of professor Mariam Alkazemi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
There are only a handful of assignments and they are weighted heavily. I went from a B+ to a C- for making a bad grade on ONE assignment despite doing well on the others. The instructions to the assignments are unclear which is unacceptable for an asynchronous class. Many of us in the class had to ask for clarification on multiple assignments.

Recommend taking her online! Course is super straightforward with just one reading quiz (open book) every week and 4 small projects for the semester. Course is based around textbook, so read the chapters and you're good to go! Didn't interact with her much, maybe that's why I had a different experience!

Dr. Alkazemi is the worst professor I have had while at VCU. She does not thoroughly explain assignments then gets angry when we don't understand them and once spent an entire class going over our mistakes on an assignment. She calls students out for not attending class & scolds us for going to the bathroom. Take literally anyone else for Strategy

Awful professor! Highly recommend NOT taking her class. Not clear on assignments. Its literally 100 parts to 1 assignment. If you email & ask her question, she makes it seem like youre bothering her. Very passive aggressive! Choose another professor if youre able! Not enough assignments in one semester, 3 assignments & 2 exams over 4-5 months.

Mariam's class was overall horrible. The last two projects are group projects but still extremely hard. I do not recommend taking her class; however, if you have to GOOD LUCK CHARLIE :/
