Reviews of professor Elham Sedghi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Elham is without a doubt the worst professor I have had to date at UVIC. She speaks extremely quietly and refuses to wear a mic. Hides behind her desk and reads straight from the slides. Everyone talks about random other things because no one knows what's going on making it even harder to hear her. Also has no office hours, and breaks UVIC policy.

Needs to speak up and organize

She provided comprehensive course material that made the course easy to understand. Her class was small and crowded that we had trouble hearing her sometimes. She had no office, but she used to stay late to address everyone's questions. I have learned great stuff about Data Modeling and APEX.

I probably dedicated less than one hour a week to studying for this class. I understand the comments of other classmates with their frustrations regarding the course, but really, I think this is a class where self-learning is crucial, so don't expect to learn only during lectures. Find a good group for the project as it will make or break yourgrade

I really enjoyed HINF 200. The group project let us put our database learning to use and Elham offered a lot of support. I wish the classroom had computers, but otherwise a great class and worthwhile learning.

Literally reads the slides out word for word, and occasionally goes off on tangents that are extremely difficult to understand. Her voice is really quiet but she makes a point to say that she's not going to speak up and that we should listen better. Everything is disorganized and feels like its more complicated than it has to be.
