Reviews of professor Mostafa Abedinifard

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I had Mostafa in the previous semester and he was an expert in Persian literature and cared about us. But the grading scale was too harsh, my annotated bibliography even failed, and all the instructions were clear, but he wanted far more than the instructions demanded. So it's hard to estimate his expectations, everything is too difficult.

Mostafa is not bad, just don't think he's joking when he reminds you that his class has very high expectations. Even if you give it your all, it's hard to face brutal ratings. It will be easier for those with a background in literary analysis, less non-writing majors as an elective. Lectures are more like seminars, in fact, he rarely lectures.

If you are looking for a GPA boost run for the hills! The online format may fool you but the lectures were almost 2 hours long without a break, and extremely boring! Professor Abdenifard is really nice but he rambles so much and barely covers any material during the lectures as a result. They will offer extra credit. Overall don't take him.

Dr. Abedinifard and TA are very caring and super responsible, but it seems like he is a bit over-expecting when it comes to grading. While he understood that many of his students did not have a background in Persian literature, his expectations were still harsh. But overall, you won't be too bad.
