Reviews of professor Afsaneh Nouri Houshyar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This course is not hard, but requires some work. (Hybrid) met in person Thurs and via Zoom Tues. Attendance is a must, or your grade will be affected. 3 quizzes for ch. 10-12, super easy & online. Midterm & Final were easy if you studied a bit, also online. Ch. Summary for chapters 3-10 & 1 group presentation on a chapter.

She is a horrible and lazy professor. We're more than halfway through this semester and she has really only given us 3 full lectures. The class relied on other groups' presentations for course materials/"lectures" - which are videos and clips heavy. Imagine the blind leading the blind. I feel as if I have not learned anything in this class.

Professor Nouri is a solid choice for IME 4030. She never gives hw, however this means you should always be on top of the material. B/C it is mostly just quizzes, midterm, and final which is part of your grade. She explains the content pretty easily, and the material itself isn't really that challenging. Hardest part was the time crunch on quizzes

Not that great but the class itself is not too difficult. Lectures are boring and the quizzes have some questions that aren't relevant to the material but overall not bad. Only true downside is mandatory attendance.

She had the blandest lectures & is crazy slow to the punchline. Prepare to teach yourself all of the material. Pray she feels like making a study guide so you can get practice in before taking her exams. She also moved the date/time of the mandatory final with less than a week notice & refuses to accommodate.. Good luck to the parents/professionals

Took her for IE 4160. She took attendance in every class and was worth 10%. She sets a standard of how she wants homework and tests formatted and submitted. She uploads weekly videos, where we are supposed to watch and complete the homework before class. For class, we go over the homework and ask questions. We met over the weekend for project help.

Overall I would recommend this professor. Understanding responds to emails and always willing to clarify. 

She does credit attendance but not mandatory. Test and homework all have to do with the related lectures and chapters.

If you get her online easy. 7 Summaries Chapters from group presentation that you don't have to show up for just turn in at the end of day. The group presentation was easy as long as everyone does their part once you do it you are chilling. Prerecorded lectures but watch out she does call on people sometimes. Exam and Final findable on the web.
