Reviews of professor Zahra Buttar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Quizzes are based on readings from the textbook, if you read and pay attention you will do well. The syllabus says no extra credit, but if you do a great job on the PowerPoint/papers for the quizzes, extra credit is possible. One PowerPoint project that was able to be done in a group. Pay attention to the syllabus and know APA inside and out.

Dont recommend. I took her class on a whim even after I read the terrible reviews she has on here, i gave it a chance and I regret it SO MUCH. Cant ask her anything directly, you have to ask a classmate because she wont help. Theres so many quizzes based on pages in the book, but the quiz questions do not correlate to the book pages!!!!!!

I would say that Prof. Buttar is so-so. For her women's studies class, she makes you write one APA paper that she never stops talking about. She grades things on time, and you'll pass so long as you listen to her instructions. She has a bad temper, but get on her good side and everything will be okay. Quizzes are from the book, not online.

I wouldn't take her class again because I couldn't stand her personality. She was very condescending and acted like she knew more than everybody. One midterm paper APA. Weekly quizzes very easy you don't even have to read the book. The midterm exam and final also easy. I didn't to the midterm paper and got a B. Responds quickly. One group project.

I see a lot of people c/o her being a tough grader, however, she gives plenty of her examples of what she is expecting from her students. If you follow her formatting you will be fine. She is a very interesting woman with a lot of very interesting life experience stories. I was dreading taking this class, but was actually sad when it was ending.

Once you figure out her formatting requirements she grades really easily. Plus she hands out extra credit like it's candy. She even gave me extra credit a few times for turning in something the day before the due date rather than the due date. She is interesting and a little abrasive, comes off harsh but I don't think it was too bad.
