Reviews of professor Shani Halperin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She always seems unsure while teaching. If a student asks a question she doesn't really know how to answer it and seems confused. Other students in the class had to answer questions for students bc she didn't know the answer. She also read powerpoint slides word for word. I thought it was her first year teaching but its like her 4th or 5th...

From the beginning of the semester, she was really tough. The homework are due every week with many questions, so far, my grade is down because I worked so hard on the homework and still get bad grade, my first exam, failed it. there is a group project at the end. she got bad attitude and she picks on people to share so watch out. good luck!

This is great professor to be honest. The first exam is the hardest. Not to scare you but not a lot of people passed. The second one is easier and a lot of the students did amazing. Her rule is if you do well on final exam she would replace your lowest test grade with the final grade. The homework is also very important make sure you do it. :)

Professor Halperin comes off a little bit intimidating at first but she is really kind and does care about the success of her students. She values participation and wants her students to be active in the lesson. She does spend a lot of time writing on the white board but it meant less work for the students. Material was really easy!

This class was pointless lol. She grades pretty hard but its all pretty easy and shes not good at explaining things

She's an alright lecturer. Lots of definitions and going over slides from the book. If no one wants to share answers, she randomly calls on you. Gave some extra credit opportunities. Group project at the end of the class, which can significantly help to boost your grade.

One of the worst professors I have had and I love math. She was not great at explaining the material and made you feel dumb when you ask questions, but forced participation. For those who struggle with math, I imagine her course would be very difficult as you do not get much from her instruction. Unfortunately, there are very few LB math teachers.

Not my BEST professor but shes manageable. She isnt always prepared it seems for class. Reads off slides a lot. Its her 3rd yr teaching though so cut her some slack. Not an easy class to teach at times. Easy Quizzes often, 4 exams, homework weekly (5-10 questions). MUST ask questions yourself and then shes mostly helpful.

She is not helpful, and never comes prepared to class. She never knows the answers to the questions on the PowerPoint but pretends as if she made them. Does not know how to answer student's questions, and will support an incorrect answer until someone speaks up and explains that the answer is wrong.
