Reviews of professor Parisa Fatheddin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Explanations of things were very good but I don't want the derivation of certain equations if we are never going to be asked to know how to derive them. Homework given was good and help prepare for exams.

Jumps all over the place. If you have never taken calc 1 before, avoid her at all costs. You will be extremely confused. Nice lady, but did not prepare me for calc 2 AT ALL and now calc 2 is a struggle!

Dr. Fatheddin was a fair professor. She was not the greatest lecturer but she prepared students for her exams, which were rather straight forward and doable if you studied. She was a sweet woman who truly wanted her students to do well even - If you have the chance to take her for your MATH 0220 class, I would recommend her.

Class with Parisa is a nightmare. She comes to class with examples straight out of the text and doesn't explain them. She talks quietly at the board and her handwriting is barely legible. Grading is harsh and inconsistent. Lectures leave you knowing less than when you got there. She is terrible at explaining content in general. Avoid at all costs.

The worse professor I have ever had. She has changed how she grades 3x before 5 weeks into the class. Good luck reading her writing or getting her to explain anything. Lecture videos are handheld. Often makes mistakes or doesn't know how to solve problems. Does not prepare you well for exams. Horrible class management. I'd avoid all of her classes

I literally pointed out how she was wrong and contradicting my prior learning from high school and the txtbk! She says just ignore it, i cant give u the pt back on the exam as i would have to change everyone's. I am not going to reteach it as it would confuse everyone . We will just not do spirals on the final exam... AVOID! You will not learn ODE.

Parisa isn't a great teacher. She's one of those professors that you like as a person, but don't learn much from. I would have switched classes if I hadn't taken AP Calc AB my senior year. If you have no experience with Calc 1 or have struggled with it in the past I would tell you to take someone else.

I think she is fine. Gives lots of examples in class and makes the lecture stimulating. I don't think she jumps in different topics as she teaches and you have to study the material to keep up with the class.
