Reviews of professor Asma Tahir

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very lecture heavy. She's a nice teacher, but she doesn't hold your hand. 2 exams and a final with a group project. She curves the first two exams, but not the final. She expects you to read the textbook and she has ppts posted on Canvas. She's cool, but you'll have to study to pass her exams.

Just like the other commenter have noted, this is a fairly easy course. There are only like 5 or 6 assignments. One of them is a group project which you present at the end of the semester. She's pretty lenient when it comes to grading and provides very good feedback on how to improve. The instructions to each assignment are always made very clear.

I really don't understand why Professor Tahir's rating is so low. She makes it very easy to get an A in a gen-ed class. Just go to class and study the powerpoints for exams. HW is limited, extra credit is offered. I can't believe people are complaining about easiness. Professor is approachable and down-to-earth.

Course itself is easy. Only a few tests and short papers. My main complaint is that she put weird time slots for the exams. Example, the first exam was 8am-5pm on a Tuesday. The second exam was 6am-12pm on a Thursday. Why are you putting short time slots for a remote course without taking into consideration that students have other classes or work?

Professor Tahir is the sweetest and most genuine professor I have ever had! Shes always willing to answer any questions you may have and set up meetings with her if you want to talk to her privately. The course itself is really easy. There are 5 2-page papers, 2 unit+ 1 final exam, and A TON of extra credit opportunities. This class was an easy A.

You will have to do a group project where you research a health issue.

Good professor. Only a few writing assignments throughout the semester that are incredibly easy to complete (read an article and write about what you learned). There was a big group project but she stated that she's considering removing it as there were so many issues with people not participating. Go to her lectures--she grades on participation.

Love Prof Tahir! She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, informed, & respectful. I feel like you can tell she cares about her students and wants to give us the best, most current info. She uses lots of examples to make points in lecture and incorporates additional resources like documentaries & TedTalks into the class. Highly recommend her class!
