Reviews of professor Saranah Selmi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She prepares her own hand-written lessons on pieces of paper. She works through them clearly and at an appropriate pace while answering ?'s. Her review for tests is good and helps you prepare and know what to expect. Responds quickly to email and is accessible. Homework is reasonable and graded leniently. Don't have to simplify on HW or tests :)

Selmi as a person is very kind & caring. It's difficult to keep up with her in lectures cuz she speaks fast & can be hard to understand. It sounds like she's speaking more to herself than to the class during lectures so it's kinda hard to retain the information she's explaining. Ask questions if you don't understand the material & study! Do hw!

She really wants her students to succeed. I originally failed Math 108 with Cigdem and was able to get an A with Selmi. Attend lecture as the notes she gives are helpful with examples. She will even tell you what examples in a section to study so you know itll be on the test. Would recommend her!

The subject of Calculus is a difficult one for sure. However, Dr. Selmi does a good job of teaching it. Be prepared for homework and a quiz every week, three exams, a final, and a writing assignment. Lots of work, but she is a very lenient grader.

Selmi is very hard to reach and get help from outside of class. I had issues with my online access code that she could have easily addressed through her account, but instead she told me to go to tech support for (who directed me BACK to my professor). She also had issues explaining concepts, asking students to explain to the class instead.

If you take her for an online class, anticipate her never responding to emails, not attending her own virtual office hours, and not telling the Bookie the textbook is needed. It has been several weeks since I have reached out for help in the class with no response, never was able to get the textbook, or know grades.. tutoring helps more than her.

Selmi is very nice and will do her best to make sure you're doing okay with exams and is very understanding. She is very fast in lectures and she doesn't realize it a lot. But she gives lots of extra credit opportunities and her exam review packets are almost identical to the actual exam. Very helpful professor but also hard to understand at times.

Attend her class (or don't) she will explain the concepts in class. Sit close to the front to be able to ask her questions. you will have homework due each week and a quiz due each thursday (unless it changes). She posts her lecture notes on canvas so if you miss a class you can look at them. Youtube is your best friend for when you miss a class.
