Reviews of professor Siham Raboune

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Go to office hours! Dr. Raboune cares about her students and she will absolutely help you if you show up with a good attitude and take the initiative to improve. Her exams aren't hard but you do have to study. More than anything though, she's just a cool person to learn from. She makes class interactive and gives extra credit. Don't skip class!

Dr. Raboune is one of my favorite professors. she explained everything in a way that is easy and engaging. i loved her teaching style, she encouraged us to ask questions in class and was always available for office hours. The take home assignment were eye opening to the broad field of neuroscience, I really learned a lot from taking this course.

Dr. Raboune is a great professor. She helped me a lot to be able to keep up with the content. She really wants her students to succeed , she was always willing to meet outside class to go over the material and gives advise on how to study.

Dr. Raboune is a very kind professor, but her lectures can be quite contradictory to information on the test. To prepare for the test, you should most definitely read the textbook. 15% of your grade is essays, which are easy 100s, so there is good padding for your grade. She also drops the lowest exam.

I have a love hate relationship with Dr. Raboune. Her exams are basically from the slides but MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE FIGURES. It's not a crazy hard class but sometimes she would contradict herself and so content would get confusing- just stick to the slides. Had random EC in class. Final is questions from old exams. I never read textbook.

Neuropharm w her is moderately difficult and test-heavy. Exams are meticulous. Her lecture style is a little hard to follow but all of the information you need should be in the Powerpoints. She is very kind and will gladly encourage you and help you understand things if you need it.

Difficult to understand. Tests are offered on Elearning and taken in the classroom. Each test is 40-45 multiple choice, T/F questions with a time limit of 45 minutes. She tells you at the beginning that the brain takes no longer than 30 seconds to respond to a question if you know the answer so she is "being generous by allowing a minute."

I was honestly really disappointed this semester. I had seen her reviews as really good and was excited to learn Cellular Neuro, but her class was unorganized. Maybe it is only this class, but she seems very unenthusiastic about the information. She is honestly not a great lecturer andher lecture slides were really bad so it was hard to study for.
