Reviews of professor Arezoo Islami

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Islami is a really caring professor and genuinely wanted all the students to succeed. I took PHIL111 and although the math got complex and difficult she was really flexible and understanding and always was ready to explain and show examples. The class was a super peaceful environment and well paced.

Took PHIL111 pre-covid and I cant help but remember how inspiring and kindhearted Islami was. Definitely not an easy class, especially for introverts, but one that is worth it for a math GE. Islami tries very hard to make the class environment welcoming and presents an aesthetic in mathematics that isnt shown in other math courses

Professor Islami is amazing. I didn't like math with a passion but she opens new doors for math. You see perspectives you don't see before. She's super sweet and amazing.

I took her philosophy of science class and it was one of the most difficult and confusing courses I have taken. She definitely wants her students to succeed, my advice would be to only take the class if you have a genuine interest in philosophy. Dense readings, but she is accessible outside of class, she is very sweet and helpful!

She is the most wonderful math teacher i had ever had. She taught my quantatative reasoning class, and realized that most of us did not enjoy the subject. She made it her personal goal to make sure by the end of the semester that we did not hate math anymore. She is a very good teacher and will go over thouroughly whatever questions you have.

She sounds like a great math teacher but her philosophy of science class is extremely difficult. There should be a high prerequisite when it comes to science and math because the reading is dense and long. She is very nice and helpful but the readings are a bit too advanced for students without a background in science and mathematics.
