Reviews of professor Farrah Fayyaz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Her notes and pre-recorded lectures are completely useless. She gives very little time to do the quizzes and she REFUSES to adjust it to make it reasonable when students addressed their concerns. The quizzes' average is 4.9/10. Avoid her. ELEC242 is already a hard course, but taking her as a prof will only make it worse.

Honestly, better than most electrical engineering profs at conco (this is a pretty low bar, however). Her exams are quite fair, and it is possible to do decently in them if you study the material in the tutorials and class examples. Her lectures and lecture notes are a mess though, so they can be rather difficult to grasp. Overall not bad.

I had her for ELEC 273 too, she gives extra lectures videos which are helpfull and she will answer your questions. However, takes WAY too long to correct materials, you wont get your grade of your mid terms before the second one, and same thing for the assignments, taking way too long.

As long as you attend the lectures and tutorials and pay attention in class, you will be good and everything should be straightforward. A really good prof, she tries to make sure you understand everything and encourages you to ask questions.

She has hard midterms and finals. her exams are based on your understanding of the material. her correction is very flexible and gives partial points, she cares most about your steps rather than the final answer. You need to attend all lectures, study from the textbook and attend the tutorials. Her exams are very doable if the work is put in.

She gives you her notes for each chapter, but they are not that organized and clear as a lot of the time I did not understand the chapter enough to be able to do the questions. Instead of a midterm there are 7 quizzes and I did ok on them but a lot of people failed them. She tells you what will be in the quizzes and final. Curved our grades.

Ruined all of our summers. Firstly, her grading scheme makes no sense: very difficult assignments for 0.5% of your final grade. Workshops in class where you need to answer questions in 20 mins and submit them for grading (literally like an exam). 2x midterm with difficult questions we NEVER did. And obviously, you need to teach yourself, goodluck.

She's an amazing professor that cares about her students, will spend time during lectures repeating concepts if even one person is lost.  Some people may not like her grading scheme/workshops but I thought it was a great away to practice during the semester.  Very approachable outside of class, if you make an effort she will meet you half way.
