Reviews of professor Sahar Razavi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Razavis class wasnt as bad as people are making it out to be. At the same time her class is still a bit difficult. That said an A or B is possible as long as you do your work and read before class. She is a bit more theoretical in her questions and definitely checks to see if you not only did the reading but if you understood it.

Worst professor I've had in my 4 years of college. Strict grader with very little details on instructions. Seems to not care about teaching or having her students learn.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Accomodating but fast pace with her lectures slides, readings crucial for this course have to make time to read (simple readings though). All assignments if not changed, Midterm Exam, weekly Critical Reflections, Pop Quizzes, and a Final Project. only a few heavy graded assignments, not a lot of room for recovery.

I've had razavi as a pols professor 3 times, she's super amazing and genuinely cares about the success of each of her students is super accommodating. this class is difficult, but really interesting and well taught. one of my all time favorite pols classes. definitely take it if you're curious to learn more about revolutionary movements.

This is going to be an extremely honest review. Professor Razavi is GREAT, kind, and cares about her students. she is very knowledgable and passionate about what she teaches. But her exams set up her students to fail. I would not take her again just because of how diffcult her exams are. She throws a lot of information at you. Exams-cumulative

Razavi is caring and awesome. My issue was with the class itself. The tests and quizzes are all memorization. There's a lot of dense material to read through and everything is about remembering what author said what abstract theoretical idea. A term paper instead of a final would have been nice. Gives a lot of extra credit chances.

pols148: she knows what shes talking about. so knowledgable and structured! could literally answer the most difficult questions with such ease esp. considering SWANA is so complicated. she is the definition of academia. quizes on ever unit, review notes and youll pass. dont be scared off by readings she goes into them. very reachable and humorous 2
