Reviews of professor Niree Kodaverdian

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would certainly recommend Professor Kodaverdian. The assignments are clear and are helpful in learning the material which is essential for classes down the road. She also lectures using materials from the book which reinforce important ideas from the reading. Overall, a great intro econ class and has prepared me well for other classes!

Prof. Kodaverdian is one of the best & most knowledgeable professors I've had! I learned a lot in her class. She cares about each of her students and is super approachable/ accessible if you have questions. Also, she's clear on what she's expecting on tests & HW. As long as you actively listen/ participate in class and do the HW, you'll be golden.

Fantastic professor and person. Cogent, thoughtful, deliberate. Answers questions thoroughly. Comfortable and refreshing combo of lectures and in-class group-work. Clear expectations, fair grading. Pomona is tremendously lucky to have Professor Kodaverdian!

Kodaverian has very clear grading criteria, and her exams are not that difficult to do well on. That said, she assigns a ton of homework - it's helpful to a point, but after that point it's drudgery. It is important to keep up with the material (she cold-calls). I don't enjoy her personality (cold, dismissive, curt), but it may not bother you.

Prof Kodaverdian gives a fairly excruciating amount of homework. Don't fall behind in the lectures, because she will call on you during class. Also, get ready to spend half of many classes sitting in silence and doing problems. Not enjoyable, but I learned a lot, and she/her graders are fairly kind with points.
