Reviews of professor Mehrnaz Golestaneh

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is extremely boring. The material is so dry and she does not make it interesting at allThe grading criteria is non existent and the midterm was 5 short answer questions worth 30%. The day of the midterm she held a review the first half of class? Wouldn't it be typical to have a review prior to midterm in order to study relevant material?

Honestly one of the worst profs Ive had. Extremely boring and using most of class time for unecessary discussion time between students. Feels like there isnt enough criteria for her to teach, so she needs to fill the time through wasting it. Beware of pop quizzes. She is also very very hard to understand, regardless of how slow she talks. Quiet.

Super interactive and enjoyable class! She is passionate about the topic and provides very good examples. Doable readings and fair assignments. Just be in class and get a good mark!

DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!! I thought this course might be an easy elective option, but no. The lectures are recorded but they are literally just close up videos of her face, NO powerpoint or anything. The syllabus is extremely misleading and the evaluation criteria is very unclear. Plus, very unorganized. Dropping it ASAP.

I had her for SOCI 1002. She is by far the worst professor I have ever had and I am in 4th year... STAY AWAY.

This is actually the most useless prof. Never seen one so uncoordinated. Studied hours for a midterm and the questions were actually simple. Got 50% despite numerous references to readings and lectures because I didn't list the specific language she gave to the TAs. Never gotten below 80% in an Anthropology class and just got 20% on another one kmn
