Reviews of professor Katanosh Morovat

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Going to class will actively obstruct anyone trying to learn the concepts being taught. Class time is very poorly managed and one is often left uncertain of what is required of them. She's nice, and genuinely seems to want to teach her class, but isn't meant to be a teacher. Likely to make many students reconsider their major. Avoid if possible.

I'm in her CS191 class which is the freshman seminar class. You don't have to be a computer science major to take this class and I went into this class thinking I'd learn a lot of stuff about coding. There's currently 2 weeks left in the semester and if you asked me what I had learned from her I wouldn't be able to show you anything. Don't take it.

She knows what she is talking about, but she has no clue on how to teach it. Her accent makes it difficult to understand her and her examples rarely work in the first place. I have had to pay for an online course just to scrap by.

The worst class I've taken by far. Two weeks left in the semester and she's literally graded one test that we took the fourth week in, and that's only because the students begged her to. Her teaching methods are terrible and she honestly makes coding much more confusing than it needs to be. Your best bet is to teach yourself... or avoid the class.

Just gives definitions for what things do and doesn't really explain how, when, or why to use them.

I actually had a great time in this class. Dr. Morovat was very knowledgable and took the time out of class to answer questions to the best of her ability. This class can be difficult for some who have a hard time with the language barrier. Overall good class, UM ACTUALLY great!

I have had classes with Dr. Morovat for 3 years now. When I first took her for CS 150, she was hard to understand and didn't teach well. I had hope she would improve. I like her as a person. Unfortunately, 3 years later I am in her CS453 class and she has only gotten worse. The class is a mess. She doesn't seem to care anymore.

Slow at grading, with how few grades we are given. Class every week is reading off of a powerpoint. Need outside learning to do well in this class in my opinion. Hard to reach outside of class.

Its pretty hard to get over the language barrier. A lot of questions get asked in class and she doesnt really answer them. Many students are left confused and forced to learn the information by themselves because they couldnt understand it during class.

Worst CS teacher at WCU. Instead of doing normal Blackboard quizzes she would ask each person one question during a Zoom. Everyone in the class expressed concerns about this and she just laughed at us. It has been over a month and I haven't gotten a homework assignment yet... The first test is in 4 days and I still have no idea what I'm doing...
