Reviews of professor Mitra Kiamanesh

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Mitra is very disorganized and most class time is spent waiting for her. Assignment instructions are confusing. The final exam required reading each chapter of the textbook despite her not teaching the material in class. Stay away from this class.

Mitra replies quick to emails. Lectures are used to listen to her talk about real life negotiations and practices. Tests and quizzes are based off textbooks. Lots of little assignments in this course that adds up to your grade.

Mitra is a very experienced professor in her field. Definitely take this class. The exam is easy. There are 2 mock interviews/negotiations that you do. The reading is heavy for the first half of the semester and then you won't have much. This is a great add-on if you're taking a heavy course load.

I loved her! Her class was structured well, plus she gave you a week before the midterm off to study for it! She was always available for help. The class is a little content heavy before the midterm but the workload decreases.

Mitra is one of the worst profs at SFU. She is rude and condescending. Class is mandatory, but has nothing to do with the final exam. All assignments are graded by your peers so your mark depends on how nice students are. Assignment instructions are unclear. She gives weekly quizzes for textbook chapters but does not teach the material in class.

Each week you have to read 1-2 chapters at home and compete weekly quizzes. Mitra does not teach in class and expects you to learn everything at home. Grades depend on peers, as everything is peer marked. Mitra does not debrief the cases so you are not prepared when you negotiate with professionals at the end of the term.
