Reviews of professor Nader Sayadi

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Nader's lectures were dry and boring. No one in the class participated when he asked questions because no one was interested. The class itself is super easy. There are 3 exams that are all essay based and no final. Every week, you have to turn in 2 1-page essays based on the weekly readings (I never actually read but was still able to do them).

Not a difficult class BUT: - 2 one-page double spaced essays a week - (2) Tests are easy, look over his power points/essay based all compare and contrast - One major paper, not hard. minimum 4 pages - Cant skip class - Extra credit opportunities - Nice guy, just a bit extra - Grades never in Not the most entertaining class, but it could be worse.

1. Class attendance is graded, but he gives extra credit where you can make up for up to 3 missed classes.                         2. You have a 1 page, double spaced paper due every Tuesday and Thursday, they are completion grades. (Easy).        3. There are two tests and a term paper. The tests are extremely easy and free response.

you'll get a 50 in participation in this class if he doesn't "know your name" even though it's a huge class. It's not a hard course I guess but it is hard to get a solid A and not an A- so keep that in mind if you want a 4.0 to go into your GPA....

Attendance  Mandatory. Two weekly essays (1-2 pages long double spaced). Two midterms and no final. He also has a participation grade which is worth 5% of the final grade. For this you should talk in every single lecture and visit his office hours. I only spoke in a few lectures and I received a 50.

Professor Sayadi was pretty chill and let you make up assignments/attendance. There are two papers due each week, but they're 1-2 pages long and it's very subjective and only completion based. Lectures can be dull, but take random notes and comments on what he says about the meaning of the art and then use that in your papers or the exam.

Professor Sayadi is really interesting once you get to know him a bit better, and he also provides really good feedback on essays. He prepares you well for exams as long as you pay attention during class.
