Reviews of professor Farnosh Mazandarani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's fantastic, willing to help you achieve goals, understanding and happy to work with you. Makes it clear what she's grading for, makes good study guides, and is extremely responsive and reachable despite being a grad student. Good at facilitating class discussion and overall a wonderful person, 12/10

Brought energy and jokes to a 3:30 class every time. Uses a unique mix of assignments for grading, including prompts with v specific instructions and a Slack channel for participation points. A refreshing way to teach media ethics. Study extra for tests; I didn't, unfortunately, and that's what dropped me to A-. She is awesome, tho!

The pace of the summer class was fast but not overwhelming. Each week had 2-3 chapters of reading (30-50 pages) with async lecture videos to expand on each chapter. Farnosh was super enthusiastic and passionate about the material. 3 assignments, 2 quizzes, 2 light exams, straightforward grading. Participation is discussion posts on Slack.

I love Professor Mazandarani. She was really intimidating the first day or two of class but stick it out, she is SO cool and just an awesome human being. She cares about each student and her tests and assignments are really straightforward and fair. She was so awesome!

I expected this class to be dry and annoying, but Farnosh made it soo amazing. Every lecture was basically just a discussion where we talked about anything on our minds. She used an online forum for people who don't like to speak so they could get participation points. Super funny, engaging person. Assignments were very straightforward.
