Reviews of professor Nassim Tabri

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He clearly cares about his field; he sometimes goes off on tangents and jumps ahead of content. Only exams (2 midterms+final) that are extremely textbook heavy - you will 100% need it; you cannot avoid it. At least min 60% of the exams were questions from the textbook. It can make the lectures feel pointless at times. Overall good professor.

Dr. Tabri cannot help that the textbook is big. He really finds what's relevant, organizes that info in a an easy, helpful way for class, and bends over backwards to help students. I felt engaged in class and he is very good at having dialogs with students as soon as their hands go up. I don't really know what more you can ask for... he's awesome!

It was clear he almost never knew what he was talking about, I think he got the slides from someone else, he literally reads off the notes. His lectures are so dry and long. A few questions will be from things he said in lecture, but at least 40/60 were from the textbook. The slides weren't useful. Seems like a nice guy though.

Nassim is a very kind professor and grades only on the midterms and the final. However, the lectures were very heavy and he often goes off-topic and it sometimes can get difficult to follow along in his lectures. In addition, I do not like the midterm format since there was no clear guideline on what to study for. Use your textbook!!

i was a bit hesitant to take this course with him because his reviews were low but i am so glad i did! he is so kind and you can tell he is extremely passionate. i have never had a professor that is as genuine and willing to chat as him. the textbook is long but he gets a lot of his content from there, make sure to read it! overall, great prof.
