Reviews of professor Ghazaleh Parvini

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She's the best lecturer in the Computer Science department - period. She's also extremely accessible outside of class and she actually cares about teaching her students. She teaches at a really good pace and offers lots of opportunities to learn from your mistakes. This was the best experience I've had taking any class at ISU so far.

By far the best professor I've had yet at Iowa State. She really does her best and tries to make sure every student in her room understands the material, if they don't she'll do her best to make sure the student does! If you EVER get the chance to take a class with her, I highly recommend her and you most definitely won't be disappointed!

I took coms230 with Zack lutz last semester on fall. It was horrible and failed. I took Coms230 class again with Ghazaleh and she is the best. She cares about her students and wants them to learn. She really tries hard. She goes above and beyond to help students. Highly recommend!

COMS 230 used to be a 300 level class, so it's pretty difficult. Ghazaleh will spend as much time as necessary responding to questions, so ask good questions. If you need extensive help just see her during her office hours. You're going to have to "self-learn" some subjects in 230 but she taught most of the material really well. Good teacher

Is probably the best person at explaining how to do all of the work. I took this class more then once and she by far taught it the best. She helps you get everything, and kept exams closer to homework examples rather then making them 10 times harder then the homework or in class examples.

Amazing instructor. Only way to pass Com S 230 is with her. Lecture notes super easy to understand.

She is an amazing professor who find creative ways to teach. She is willing to help everyone and explains concepts fantastically. She uses LeetCode as an extra material to help students practice on real stuff. Although the course goes really fast, as long as you study daily and practice, you'll be good.

This is the second time I've taken this course. She is one of the professors that really care that what you learn from the course. She answers our question clearly and helps us with our questions even though it is not her office hours and way pass the original class time. The exams test your understanding of this course.

ComS230 is easily one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. I took it 2 summers ago and she was an extremely good professor. Lectures were a bit dry, but they made sense and were helpful. She also genuinely cares about her students and will work with you to resolve any issues you may be facing. Take the class with her if you have the option.
