Reviews of professor Zeni Shabani

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Shabani had a good sense of humor especially for a 8:30 AM lecture. I struggled a lot with staying awake in his lectures. They would get off-topic sometimes. You can be successful with him! He does care and knows what he's talking about. I would print his slides (tests come right from slides) and write notes that he adds during lecture.

Dr. Shabani is a super nice guy. He cares about the success of his students and is easy to access outside of class. However, this class was very difficult and required endless reading/studying outside of class to get even a decent grade on the exams. Not many other points in the grade book other than exams, leaving little room for mistakes

Zeni is a smart guy, can be slightly condescending but not on purpose. He gets very excited about what he teaches and could benefit from slowing down a bit. Otherwise he gives you a lot of information, which some students like more than others.

Zeni is a great professor but he moves through the material very fast at times. HIs exams aren't word for word but he pulls material and topics right from his slides. He is helpful during office hours and he really knows what he is talking about. He uses funny analogies and cracks jokes, but can be a little passive aggressive.

Byfar the hardest class I have ever taken would never take again. Put me through so much stress, the concepts are hard to grasp. Dr. Shabani is really nice and hilarious, but can talk about one slide for 20 minutes so you miss essential material. He posts recording of class, but you really need to study. My grade is horrific, that's not his fault.

This guys is really smart but has a hard time teaching it to his students. He never slows down and when he asks the class a question we all stare at him not knowing the answer. He gives a study guide but that wont help. Wayyyy to much work for 4 credits. Feels like it should be 7 credits. I heard other profs are better.

Take everything you read on here with a grain of salt. Dr. Shabani is one of the best profs I've ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and their success. I would definitely take him again.
