Reviews of professor Alifa Bandali

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Bandali is a very caring professor. You can tell she's very passionate about her field, and her lectures have left me rethinking and questioning a lot of things around me, in a good way of course. She's always open to discussion/critique about assigned readings and it almost feels like talking to a friend! Loved the final project.

Very well organized professor. I highly recommend her to anyone. Very nice and caring, and she is a fair grader. Willing to give you good feedback if you ask her.

Lectures were quite dull. She reads from her paper in a monotone voice while she teaches. Participation is important, but I was afraid to say anything that would counter her opinions in any way, so everyone ended up parroting back her ideas. However, she gives the exam q's in advance and is very kind. Lots of readings that are necessary but boring.

Dr. Bandali is definitely very enthusiastic on the subject of cultural studies, and is a nice person who encourages students to be a part of conversations as well. However, the course contents are just boring and don't have much of knowledge you find useful. Her lectures are repetitive and the essay topics are really really dull.

For a class about greater issues of racism, sexism and oppression. This prof is so apologetic about everything, and constantly goes around the bush about everything. She seems to not really be aware of things in her field, also seems like she wants to be liked by everyone more than she wants to make students aware of the greater problems in life.
