Reviews of professor Shazia Sadaf

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
take 1 course throughout a year and still get 1.0 credit, take HUMR1001. its super chill, the prof is nice and u won't have in class exam or tons of homework. u just have 3 take home assignments and random in-class quiz/discussion that u won't know if u don't go to the lectures. prof Sadaf makes a REALLY clear n detail instructions for assignments.

She is so sweet, and incorporates all her own experiences into her teaching. Assignments are very predictable, well laid out, with plenty of time to complete each. Readings are not mandatory as her lectures fully explain them.

Her lectures are relatively short and she does read off of the slides but it makes writing notes very easy. Participation in tutorials are mandatory but theyre actually interesting. Quizzes are based directly on the slides and the slides cover the reading material so I never read the texts. The exam is almost the same as the quizzes so easy A

Professor Sadaf was easily my favourite out of all of my professors this year. She's extremely passionate and relates her own experiences to the course content, which emphasized its importance even more to me as a student. Super caring, super passionate, extremely intelligent, and frankly a total girlboss. Grading was very fair & criteria clear.

I have never met a more caring prof. The TA graded me hard and I met with the prof for explanation. She went over in detail about my essay and made me understand how to improve my writing etc. She answers emails super quick. Genuinely caring.

The lectures were short but slides were super dense and full of text. It was interesting content but delivered in a way that was uninspiring. I can tell that she really cared and wanted to make people excited about the class but it didn't stick for me :/

This is the best course I have attended in university. The topics covered were fantastic. I learned so much. Professor answers emails very quickly and cares about students. Brighspace page was very organized. Def recommend.

first off a bibliography worth 15% before we even have the essay topics ??? makes no sense. i wish her humr class talked more about actual problems rather than concepts. pop-quizes and discussion in class, not too hard if you review in the 45 mins she gives but still not great. kind of a boring presenter and the readings are awful

Loved having Shazia as a professor! Her lectures were interesting and never too long, her instructions were always clear and she really made the content interesting. You can tell how passionate she is about everything she teaches and she tries her best to instil that same passion in her students! Hoping I get to take another class with her!
