Reviews of professor Bozena Welborne

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Boz is a wonderful professor and I would highly recommend any classes with her. The content is certainly challenging, but she presents it in a manageable way and values everyone's opinions. She's also great with feedback and always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. Her passion for Middle Eastern Studies is apparent in her teaching.

Too many readings, very inaccessible language. She dives into topics expecting you to know everything, and won't really answer your questions or accept an answer to her question unless it's exactly what she wants to hear. Also, weak discussions - if they ever happen. Lecture heavy. No point in the readings because we never talked about them.

One of my favorite professors at Smith. Very knowledgeable, accessible, and funny. She's really 'a bigger picture' prof, and I love that about her. She puts all abstract stuff you learn into context. She gives a lot of readings but you will come out of the semester, having learned so much. Highly recommend!!!

Does not know how to teach a class and you can tell. Gave an in-class midterm and final on what was not covered in class to "make sure we knew it." The final group project was incomprehensible and she is unclear on everything the whole semester.
