Reviews of professor Azim Shariff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Azim was a great prof for first year! His lectures were well organized and funny. Genuinely my favourite class I took all year. 4 midterms may seem annoying at first but it's so much better because they count for less and you really learn the material.

Just one or two youtube lecture videos, plus one reading a week. The lecture material is interesting and he is very passionate about evolutionary psychology. The tests were fair, with about 20 marks mc/tf and 10 marks written per test. There were 2 midterms, 1 final, a paper, and discussion posts. Hes great, i enjoyed this class.

Very fair prof. Textbook is online and free. There are 3 midterms and a final but they are each only like 15% and mc. Super engaging, the tests are fun, only hard part is that textbook content is included. This was the only class i had where people genuinely laughed and seemed to enjoy the lectures. For a psyc course, this was an easy grade.

If you're looking for an easy elective this is NOT it. Fought for my life to get the grade I did. Content was very interesting, without a bio/science background the first 1/3 of the course was tough, but gets progressively more relevant/engaging. Azim is funny, obviously incredibly intelligent, and at the fore in the field. Would not take again lol

Azim is definitely the best prof I've had so far. His lectures are so engaging and I'm always excited to go to his class. The online textbook is free and there is only one proper assignment outside the 3 midterms and final! Everyone should take this class it was amazing

Genuinely an amazing professor to have. He gives his textbooks in pdf so its free. Exams were quite tough (you have to understand the concepts not only memorize) but the way he writes the exam by including relatable case stories makes you actually enjoy doing the exam. I would 100% take his course again.

Azim made me genuinely look forward to coming to class everyday, a feat I have not experienced with any other Prof. Material is very interesting and life lessons are sprinkled throughout the course which was awesome. All 100 Level Psych courses are scaled to a certain average so difficulty isn't really a factor. Azim is the man.
