Reviews of professor Sima Sarvari-Zadeh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This is a very tough class since this is a class belonging to the medical field, where it's a matter of life or death. However, it's worth it, since professor is fair, despite the difficulty. The course is condensed because summer, so it is very fast paced, but manageable.

Excellent lecturer & teacher. Organized, knowledgeable, top-notch prof. Has high expectations, but appropriately so. If she puts you on blast in class, you probably deserved it and need to step up your game. A lot of assignments, so be prepared to put in the work. You should finish this course a better student with a strong foundation in biology.

She has hands down one of my favorite professors. She is tough, but she is always available to help you. This class in general is material heavy and lectures do go by fast, but if you just go back to the lecture slides she provides in canvas it isn't hard to keep up. She does pay attention to who participates in class so make sure you do.

I enjoyed Professor Sarvari's course a lot. She taught Intro to Biology for the Health Sciences at Chabot (bio 41) at Chabot. She's knowledgeable, caring, and has good lectures. She's happy to answer questions and wants to make sure you succeed.

Does a great job of putting a lot of content into a little bit of class. Very knowledgeable about the subject matter. You'll need to review/study lectures and probably material outside the class in order to get a good grade. Tough grading, but willing to talk to students about what she expects. A solid choice if you want to prepare yourself.

Professor is scarily caring and will always help you. This isn't an easy A class, lectures are info heavy and can be continued into the lab. Lectures don't cover all necessary information. Textbook isn't useful, but has good practice questions. Do all the work, pay attention, study ~7 hours in preparation for a midterm or final and you'll be fine.
