Reviews of professor Sak Sar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really don't understand why these ratings were so bad. professor Akhtar is an engaging and sometimes funny professor. Although she may be a tough grader on projects, she is clear on what needs to be done to get a good grade and is quite helpful in office hours.

Personally I really like Prof Akhtar. She is kind and wants her students to do well. The only thing I didn't like was how important participation is to your grade. I think this put introverts at a disadvantage and isnt really a fair judgement of how someone understands the class. Also heard the other prof was easier and cancelled class a lot.

Honestly I'm not sure why she's got such bad ratings, maybe this was just over zoom, but Akhtar's honestly an engaging lecturer. She grades tough on projects, but she teaches the information well and is overall a good professor.

I would try to take the other option for this class. Professor Akhtar seems like a nice person outside of class, but her class is so unstructured and her grading criteria is so unclear. Majority of your grade is based on a group project which is loosely described in the syllabus with no examples given in class. There is no textbook at all.
