Reviews of professor Cyrus Zargar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great professor! Attendance is required, but he makes you want to attend his classes. Clear assignments and clear grading criteria. Keep up with the class-- you'll get an A.

Dr. Zargar was a nice guy who was very passionate about the subject. Quizzes and discussion posts were pretty difficult even if you listened to his lecture and spend some time thinking. There was too much work for a GEP class on top of the fact that it was an A+/- scale. The essays are a large percent of grade and no students got full credit.

Professor Cyrus is a total Gem in that he was with on our side, with us through this tough time during covid. Not once did he try to make our lives harder or bring us any grief for the constant chaos going on around us during this spring semester! Thank you for being the epitome of top class, professional and skilled! 10/10 class! 10/10 teacher!

Very interesting and easy to email or get feedback from. Makes the class interesting and make you want to learn more outside of class. Material useful to the real world. Need to read in order to do decent on quizzes. Midterm and final are super easy.

He is an amazing instructor and seems very passionate about what he teaches. His teaching style is very effective and his lectures are very interesting. The class is very heavy on reading though and attendance is mandatory, but he makes the material worthwhile. He is very flexible and works with you if you want extra credit or help. 10/10 recommend

As much a history class as a philosophy class as a religion class. You get 3 for the price of 1. Professor Zargar is very knowledgeable of the medieval views and the context in which these ideas emerged. Strong emphasis on Islam and Judaism, and frequent mention of Sufism and mystics in Christianity. Very accessible professor who cares for students

So I'm currently writing this week 8 of the semester. I don't know what my grade is yet as to not bias the review. Zargar is probably one of the nicest professors on the campus. Opening day - "If I can give everyone an A and have them just learn, I will" and he has been true to his word. Anyone who shows up, pays attention, and reads can get an A.

Easily the best professor I've had- he made it so interesting! He's super smart and explains everything until he knows you understand it. The quizzes are hard, so he makes sure to give you all the info you need in lectures to do well. Midterm and final are both take home written essay questions; only have to answer 2. Go to class & you'll be fine.
