Reviews of professor Hoda Mirafzal

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Hoda covered the material at a reasonable pace, and the tests and quizzes felt like they aligned very closely with lectures and homework. Group worksheets were quite annoying since it was easy to get a bad grade on them if you had to rush or ended up in a not-great group. But, Hoda was very approachable and felt quite accommodating.

Maybe having her for in person classes is different but I would recommend avoiding. This class alone made me want to change my major which was chemistry intensive because this class made me not like chemistry.

Doesnt really give notice on assignments. No practice problems/exams given for midterms or finals. Really is like youre on your own to find your own ways of practicing. Questions on tests on 10x harder than problems that are done in lecture.

She's a great professor with great lectures. Sometimes the Mastering Chemistry homework can have new material that she didn't explicitly go over, but for the most part, that isn't a problem. The things you're supposed to know are very clearly defined in lecture. The group worksheets are honestly the most stressful part of the class.

Horrible professor, I would never recommend taking her class if you want to learn

I highly do not recommend her class if you are going to take Chem 11! She is a quick professor and does not go through the entire chapter which then makes you lost for the rest of the class. Please save your time and avoid having her as a professor!

Test questions were all new questions and it was very difficult. Weekly lectures to watch online and daily online quizzes. As a person she is very nice and willing to help but do not put yourself through this class.

Dr. H was an amazing chem professor. There is a good amount of homework and take home quizzes but they are not too hard because she clearly explains the material in class. The tests can be kinda tricky but they are just like the group worksheet in class. I would definitely take her class again because she cares about her students.

This is the only class that made me seriously consider dropping out. There is almost never any way of showing work on anything graded and the way she teaches is split up between lectures and videos making it confusing and difficult to learn. I was sick ONCE and couldn't do an in class activity and my grade has been down a few percents ever since.

Homework takes almost 1-2 hours to finish and is harder material than what we learn in class. Lectures are somewhat good. Doesnt give pratice exams for midterms. She is very vague on what you should know for midterms so everyone does bad. Worst class ive ever taken.  Shows no mercy for students. Dont recommend.
