Reviews of professor Noor Hashem

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took 'Imagining American Islam' with Dr. Hashem and really enjoyed my experience in her class. There were 2 major essays and a podcast project that we were given a very reasonable amount of time to complete, and had a lot of freedom in topic choice with. I think there is validity to the other reviews, but overall I'm glad I took this course.

Has an inferiority disorder. Demands a dogmatic acceptance for what she has to say. thinks she know more than she does. Is the most infuriating person whom I have even had the displeasure of working with. Is not willing to engage in a conversation if you disagree with her on anything. Easy class, terrible person to work with.

Often cancelled class/office hours. Over scheduled classes making them seem very rushed and making it so students take away very little. Emphasizes her own knowledge in order to assert dominance, as if she is in competition with her students rather than teaching them. Very few assignments are weighted extremely heavily to determine the final grade.

Gives very good feedback, but the course has way too much work for a class that isn't directly related to my major. Be ready to write, read and work a lot.

she is very unhelpful, condescending, and uncaring. I put my absolute 100% in her course and didn't get enough out of her. She shows up late to almost every lecture and gets mad when we do the same. Easy course horrible professor, I don't recommend

Okay class. reading was not always relevant but work was light. She's new so her teaching techniques aren't perfect. Class was interesting, more feedback on papers would have helped. Essay questions are not always clear.
