Reviews of professor Elham Ebrahimi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
To be blunt, Elham Ebrahimi is an excellent teacher and these ratings absolutely do not reflect her teaching. She is a wonderful teacher and anyone would be lucky to have her as theirs. She truly cares about her students and you can tell that she both knows the material extremely well and knows how to teach it.

I had Dr. Ebrahimi for 131 and it was great. The class is not difficult and she's happy to help you if you ask her. As long as you put in at least a little effort to actually learn the material, you'll do fine in her classes. A lot of the negative reviews are folks who want to coast through the semester without trying or putting in any effort.

If you come into this class knowing nothing about coding it is going to be very difficult. Good professor and super caring person but get ready to work extremely hard if you want a decent grade.

The terrible reviews listed here seem to be ENTIRELY misplaced because this has been one of my best professors so far at UNCW. Very adaptive and understanding.

Just don't do it. Find a different professor. First couple of weeks were fine and then it got worse as time progressed. Assignments take hours to do and she gives vague hints if any on how to do them. As an intro class, there should be more guidance. You shouldn't have to teach yourself a subject you've never learned the basics of before.

Hated her class and the way it was taught. One time almost the entire class got a 10% on a programming assignment because of her failure to teach what was needed to complete it. She emailed everyone saying she was disappointed in out lack of effort. I spent 5 hours on that assignment.

I took this class last fall. She mostly did lectures (which were boring) and when it came to getting help debugging our games she wasn't helpful. My teammates and I relied on each other which is fine. Her "tests" were terrible and only given because the CS department made her. If I could I would give her a 0 because of how abysmal her teaching was.

At the end of the day she's an ineffective educator. I'm not going to throw shots, but she has no business teaching. Do I think she knows the material? Probably, although there are times where it seems like she doesn't. Can she effectively teach the students she is paid to? No. Seems like a nice enough person but incompetent is a great word here.

Ebrahimi goes way too fast and makes this class so hard. Coding is definitely not an easy subject, but she does a horrible job at teaching it. I spent hundreds of hours outside of class working on code and would receive a grade of an F. When I went to ask her about it, she would say "You need to practice more." Overall, the worst prof ever.
