Reviews of professor Maryam Khezrzadeh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Horrendous. Grades students based on her mood, changes evaluation criteria and exam grades on a whim, gets lost in her subject, "you think THAT's the answer???" at students answering her questions, doesn't read/answer her email ever, gives little to no feedback, often dismisses questions or answers vaguely, curves grades, etc etc.

Not a good professor. Avoid if possible.

Lectures are all online, and uniquely dreary and boring. In a two hour lecture, maybe 20 minutes are useful. Textbook doesn't cover everything, and no information is given on which parts are critical to read.

Maryam is a very friendly person, and you can tell she tries her best to teach. But it falls flat, her lectures are verbose and the content isn't clearly explained. She will jump between slides, sometimes spending 20 minutes on a single slide and skipping over others. Unfortunately ESL students may struggle to understand her as well.

She does not even do the lab exercises herself, the textbook answer is CLEARLY wrong and does not provide adequate details in the instructions yet she stays adamant that the textbook answer is correct. The textbook answer had wrong calculations. It's clear she is not up to standards for teaching this course.

She was the best instructor in 1st term. All the knowledge I learned is important common knowledge for software programmers. It's hard to prepare exam because there are a lot things to remember, but I think this is helpful to open my eyes to understand this industry.

We are in CST program but what you spend most of your time is for comp1712. Harder than all the courses in CST. I just took for CST coop if there is any coop offer or something i ll def drop this course asap.

Her lectures involved reading from the book, but I believe I could learn faster in the library (which I did); despite us paying for the course, she never shared her slides.
Once they have a little power, some people will go to great lengths to use it to make as many people unhappy as possible. Unfortunately, this is my evaluation of this teacher.

Business Analysis is not a very interesting course since its more like a business course, but Maryam is a good teacher. I was lucky enough to take this course before the pandemic, so I had the chance to meet Maryam in person. She is very engaging in teaching and very nice to her students. She tried to make this course organized and interesting.
