Reviews of professor Maryam Shiva

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is by far my favorite class and I never thought I'd say that about a Physics class. She is funny and knowledgeable and absolutely caring. I will look for her other classes to take.

She is the best Science professor I've ever seen. She explains things in a funny way and she always has interesting stories and jokes to tell. I never thought Physics is something I would actually like until i took her course. I highly recommend her class.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! She's impossible to reach, disorganized, and passive aggressive! WEEKS go by without any communication: emails go unanswered, doesn't show up to office hours, no new material posted, HW remains ungraded, fails to include submission pages for homework or specify deadlines. When hw is graded, it's pass/fail but the exams are not.

you can learn a lot if you do weekly readings and homework. the homework is online and actually helped me a lot. She also takes the class to the observatory and that counts as extra credit and is fun

A very caring and knowledgeable professor indeed; she makes you feel good everytime you go to her class. I would totally take more classes with her.

she is caring and helpful. a bit messy and forgetful but her helpfulness and background knowledge totally beats that. I wish she was teaching more classes

You don't really know a subject until you can teach it to other people, and she does not know her subject well enough to be teaching college level. Her lectures are confusing, her assignments are confusing, the labs are confusing. She doesn't explain anything at all and won't explain anything at all. She'll just tell you to ask your group members.

I love how she uses examples easy to understand  and from everyday life. Honestly for the first time I'm really understanding Physics. She is also very kind and gives second chances. I totally recommend her. She gives these side stories mostly about space stuff, apparently very knowledgeable in that area.
