Reviews of professor Safoura Nourbakhsh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Nourbakhsh is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Not only is she defensive and presumptuous, but she shamed my class when we asked her to clarify one of her prompts. She assumes that her class is the only one you're taking. Her assignments are vague but tough, and she expects you to read your mind. Get ready to teach yourself.

There were three specific areas where this class failed to practice a universal learning design, respect and care for others as well as dismantling an oppressive system of education. Being in her classroom constantly left me feeling censored, hopeless, and like my presence or learning didn't matter to her. She has some growing to do as an educator.

Honestly ignore the other reviews, she is the best professor I have had at Georgetown so far, our class was small but amazing. She is so caring and will give you an A if you show interest, do your readings and make good points that are always in the readings.

A lot of reading and viewing assignments but the content is very interesting. You'll learn a lot and if you keep up with the assignments it's not difficult to get an A.

Her assignments and lectures arent very structured at all. Shes very vague with prompts and projects seemed to be assigned willy nilly. She doesnt keep grades up to date and seems very unorganized. She does know a lot of information and can teach it well, but we are really just learning from the textbooks or the readings/viewings she assigns.

She is very fair and straightforward, no nonsense and beating around the bush.

I loved Professor Nourbakhsh; she's my favorite prof at Georgetown. She had so many helpful insights and was very attentive to what the class had to say. All you have to do is respect her as a professor and contribute to the class to do well.

This was one of my fav WGST classes at GU because of the knowledge and expertise Professor Nourbakhsh demonstrated in class. The reading materials were challenging but Professor aided tremendously in translating difficult theory into accessible information. The viewing materials and reading were brilliantly chosen. I was excited to discuss in class

Prof. Nourbakhsh is by far my favorite professor at georgetown. If you are looking for an interesting intro to WGST class, I highly recommend Prof. Nourbakhsh. As long as you do the readings and participate a few times in class, she will be very considerate in her grading. She is the best!

Worst prof I've had- doesn't respond to emails, won't grade your assignments until grades are due, doesn't give feedback, makes vague prompts and gets angry at the class if you don't read her mind, shuts down opinions that don't match her own, and generally makes you feel bad about your work
