Reviews of professor Mariam Durrani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved Prof. Durrani's class. She's an incredibly intelligent teacher and is also very caring about your experience as a student. Very easy to talk to in office hours, and will give you helpful feedback on your past/upcoming assignments. I really appreciate that she highlights not just things you could fix about your work, but what you did well.

Please don't misunderstand- she's so smart, and great to talk to! But wow, you are NOT allowed to have a differing opinion. She's set in her ways, and anything that doesn't align with her own views is ripped apart. Again, SUPER smart! But I don't think I could stand in front of a class and be told all the ways I'm wrong again.

Dr. Durrani is one of my favorite professor's I've ever had. Would highly recommend her classes at AU! Lots of reading, but her classes can be life-changing.

LOVE Durrani. Very easy grader as long as you put effort into your papers/projects. Great teacher and very kind, she's just really blunt which bothers some students. Lecture heavy but very interesting with some group discussion. Did not grade strictly on participation as long as you participated in group discussions. Assigns a lot of weekly reading

Prof Durrani is new to AU. That being said, she is very knowledgeable about linguistic anthropology and intercultural communication. Any questions or comments you make, she always makes you feel heard and answers in-depth. Also loved the application to real-world phenomena and pop culture. She is amazing despite what reviews from other colleges say
