Reviews of professor Sara Fanai-Khayat

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took her during summer for both lab and lecture and it was pretty tough. For lab, she gave a handout for what you need to study. (all on test)Lecture test was based off her PowerPoint slides/lecture. Goes off topic a lot and can be rude to students sometimes. You have to put in the work to pass this class. A solid choice. You learn a lot taking her

Messy. Almost every document she puts out will contain spelling & grammatical errors. You're only allowed to learn from her recycled (very basic) PowerPoints, nothing else. PP's were unprofessional sounding and messy. She reprimanded our class for poor grades on exam #1 and then berated students for offering their perspective as to why.

You will be fine if you listen to lecture recordings! Her live classes will not even help since she is just going to complain. I honestly felt bad because she has disability with her ear which is why she talks loud but it also kind of makes sense because she is just super rude. She has no empathy for students and it is either her own way or no way.

Dr. Fanai is a great professor. Although she is tough on her students you can tell that all she wants is for her students to succeed and use their common sense for certain situations. She may intimidate some, but over all her style of teaching made me study more & eventually earn my way through the class! Take her if you want a push

Professor Fanai is probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. She is extremely condescending and unsympathetic. Every time I would ask a question she made me feel like I was dumb for asking. She would give students a hard time if they didn't understand certain concepts. If there are no other anatomy professors don't settle for her.

I took her online for Fall 2020 (pandemic). She is intimidating at first, but that'll pass. Her lecture exams are easy if u study the power points and diagrams and she provides u a study guide for the lab exams. No textbook needed, she drops 1 exam, & no hw. She's easy if u put in the effort to learn.

Knowledgeable and straightforward, drops lowest tests and lab. Not for thin skinned students. Note what she says as it indicates its importance; ONLINE LEC PROVIDED IS HER SCRIPT. Register for boot camp; helps a lot with identifying. Use study guides as guide; not verbatim on the test! Her words hold more value which is why attending is important.

She clearly hates her job. She berates and degrades students who email her or ask questions in class, and when she doesn't want to answer emails she threatens and admits to deleting them. Her teaching style is non-existent, so you'll have to spend hours studying just to get a C. If you take her be ready to have lecture time be about politics & dogs
