Reviews of professor Neda Bolourchi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had her & am surprised by the comments below. I found her enthusiastic & caring. I needed help getting in, rescheduling tests, and more. She was supportive. In her teaching, I found her to be one of the most thought provoking & challenging professors I've had in the best possible way. I'm sad I won't be able to keep learning from her. I graduated

I found Professor Bolourchi exceptional. I expected to be told about history and instead was taught how to think about history, how to think about what we study, and how to think about what we are told as a society. Professor Bolourchi's approach is meta. I learned more than the simple dates of Middle East history.

Tough class. You don't have to do all the readings - just know what she emphasizes on. Didn't learn one thing from the class. A good amount of work and its only worth it for the 3 SAS cores u knock out.

We had synchronous classes online and participation mattered. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of her teaching style, but classwork was still manageable. Her quizzes/exams could be quite difficult at times since some questions would be really specific/confusing. It's not impossible to get an A in the class but you definitely need to work for it.
