Reviews of professor Shirin Nilizadeh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Since the beginning of the class, she has had a strange thing about not having class recordings, and on top of that, it is a 3-hour straight long class what is she expecting from students it is nearly impossible for students to concentrate for so long. She doesn't care about your grades, your complaints, or anything else that could be improved.

Lectures are extremely slow, this class could have been 1.5 hours, but we read at a snails pace, very easy to lose focus. Often, shares random snippets of how one time she witnessed this or that actually happen. Exams are designed to be "gotcha" or tricky, used very similar words / synonyms make the exam more difficult than needed.

The professor is great and listens to the students if they are facing any issues. Also, there are labs for this course. As long as you score well in the labs, you can be assured of getting an A.

Class is relatively easy to pass if you cram correctly. Attendance is part of the grade. Your lab experience will depend on who you choose for your lab partner. Did not attend class often but from the few times I went, professor appears to care about the material and will attempt to make lectures interesting and not just an information dump.

She doesn't stick to her words, so be cautious. I had an issue with a TA, and when I approached the professor, the professor didn't care the labs are weird and are handled by TAs, which is a bad situation because you lose a large portion of your grades because of it. There are no other options besides this professor and the TA.
