Reviews of professor Nastaran Simarasl

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Easily bottom tier of professors I have ever had in 6 years of college. Professor gets agitated when she is questioned or if suggestions are made. Actually got mad and accused the class of cheating when we all did well on a quiz which was the one quiz we had a lecture on prior to taking the quiz. She does not have a passion to teach and should not.

Professor does not provide a clear criteria/rubric for case study quiz resulting in random scores. Professor seems to have gone into overdrive with applying difficulty during Covid19 shutdown, not understanding the stress and drastic change of situations to her students. Unable to receive small assignments graded back in a reasonable turnaround.

The notes she makes in the textbook don't help on exams at all. She gets really nit picky on grading, and if you ask her for help more than once, she'll go on about how she doesn't believe in giving students too much help. She acts like students don't have any other classes besides her's and expects you to re-read chapters.

Dr. Simarasl is the most amazing professor I've ever had. Se goes out of her way to make students feel comfortable in the class and offers both academic and moral support. She answers questions thoughtfully and makes sure everyone understands concepts. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about management. In other words, she is a Gem!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! Tough grader, will still dock off points even after you followed her directions. does not give points back even after allowing to resubmit writing assignments. everything revolves around how you think strategically or NO POINTS. NO CURVES and expects too much. PLEASE AVOID IF YOU WANT TO GRADUATE ON TIME.

Took this professor during the COVID-19 pandemic. She lacked any empathy for us and even laughed at a student who approached her with a legitimate concern. She continued to pile up work, treated us like kids, and overall made me hate my last semester in grad school. Zoom classes were ok, but her overall lack of care for us was obvious.

Nice lady, but her class was difficult for being an intro class. Super annoying that shed tell us to read, then lecture the book verbatim in class. She forced us to participate and put people on the spot. Shes a tough grader and expects a lot. Be on your A game if you take her

Most stressful class because of her Grading hard and unclear. What she expects is wants is what she expects Lectures consist of "ummm"s and "mmmhmm"s, very unprofessional. Expects you to articulate the exact lingo jargon terms from the text. She wants above and beyond no matter and it is not enough even if you are a hard worker. Do NOT take!

If you learn, you will be okay in this class. It takes time to complete essay as the requirement. The essay is higher weight of total grade. You need to prepare earlier.
