Reviews of professor Zahra Alavi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Alavi's lectures were hard to follow, and questions during class were not answered well. Her tests were usually fine as long as you understand the practice problems, but the lectures can be very confusing. She's helpful in her office hours.

Just a great teacher. She knows physics so well and she is so gifted at explaining- I cant recommend her enough. You'll know exactly what to expect on midterms and the final, and she is very accessible through email and office hours. She is a prime example of what a professor should be like.

Great professor and really nice person. I took her Intro to Astronomy class and she did a really good job keeping things simple and fun. The class wasn't too hard and homework is brief and not often. Tests could be difficult but she does grade on a curve. Do yourself a favor and take this class!
