Reviews of professor Karolin Mirzakhan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
By far the best professor I've ever had. Actually cares about her students and has a true passion for philosophy. Taking her class changed me as a person for the better and I ended up taking every class she taught before I ended up dropping out lol.

I had Dr. Mirzakhan for my summer philosophy class, thought it would be boring but the selected materials by Dr. Mirzakhan proved me wrong. Content was interesting but get ready to read.

Took this class bc I saw the professor had good reviews but after taking the class I'm confused why. Professor provides an EXTREMELY heavy workload but the work given was extremely tedious & unnecessarily difficult for an intro course. Took so long to actually grade the insane amount of work she gave. Quizzes provide no actual  substance either

I love this professor! Classes schedule is loaded on to d2l at beginning of semester, so it is easy to prepare for each class. Quiz or swa due every class, but they are simple and easy to do. Attendance is mandatory, but it is honestly not that bad. Discussions are fun and intriguing, especially near end of semester. Would recommend!

discussions are open-ended, quizzes and writing assignments are SUPER easy, but there's a lot of reading, daily work, and a tough final/midterm. definitely a specific grader, but you'll make an A if you put in the effort, show up to class, and actively communicate. im minoring in phil just bc of her class and taking her next semester. take her!!

Engaging, fair grading criteria, learned lots. I wouldn't say it's an easy A but it is a reasonable amount of work. Most of the class is discussing assigned readings and taking open notes quizzes. You'll enjoy this class. Take her.

She's quite amiable and a great teacher that clearly cares about and knows her subject. If you engage with the texts and participate in class you shouldn't have any issues. Some say that she gives a lot of work but it's just a few assignments a week and some readings. 100% take her in person though, her class is formatted to be discussion-based.

The only reason I'm not giving her a perfect score is because she only accepts work being turned in on paper, by hand (with a few exceptions). This wasn't too compatible with my workflow. That said, her class is built on discussion, and Dr. M clearly shows a passion for the material and the discussion of said material. I'd recommend her to anyone.
