Reviews of professor Mary Shiraef

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Shes lecture heavy, but her demeanor is amazing. She cares for her students and constantly makes sure they are doing well physically/emotionally with their work. Her pop quizzes are worth 40% of your overall grade, however you can drop your lowest 3 scores. Also, if you maintain an average of an A in the class, you can be exempt from the final.

Professor Shiraef is amazing! She is young, a successful Oxford alum, a curious student herself (currently working on her Ph.D.), and an amazing professor/lecturer. Above all else, she deeply cares about her students, makes herself accessible to them, and genuinely cares that we actually learn. She is inspiring. Take classes with her!

The class is easy if you go to class and do the readings (there is a decent amount of reading). Her lectures are also very easy to follow.

If you do the reading or the summary of the reading, you're able to do well. She does her best to connect with students and current political events.

Professor Shiraef really cares about your success, and if you put in the work, she'll make sure you succeed. She's very approachable during office hours and outside of class, and helped me work through a lot of challenging topics throughout the semester.
