Reviews of professor Shirin Saeidi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I adore her! She is so much fun and passionate about her lessons. She is very personal and I think that helps her teaching a lot. I am taking another class offered by her and the teaching style is the same. It is a lot of reading and then doing weekly responses but she is flexible with due dates. She genuinely wants to help her students pass!

one of the best and most brilliant profs I've ever had, made lots of effort to connect to us as people, very respectful and compassionate, connected content to real life and challenged us to think deeply about problems and solutions proposed

This class is very reading based. There are six assigned books and you are graded on weekly responses, quizzes, and the final paper. She uses no slides or notes. She says it is like a "seminar" but we frequently went off topic and it seems like you learn nothing. Overall, if you prefer taking notes I wouldn't take this class.

Dr. Saeidi is a rare professor. They really do care about their students success and understands how difficult undergrad can be to handle during covid. Dr. Saeidi is a real gem and i would recommend taking their classes any chance you get!

One of my favorite professors Ive had, and Im planning on another one of her courses she teaches. Focuses more on discussion and making sure students understand and interact with each other on the topic. Very understandable on situations people may be in and makes sure that the students understand the course but doesnt overwhelm you with work.
