Reviews of professor Faranak Bayat

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
There are times I can't understand the material and she just continues with the lecture without even explaining in further detail on what she did. If you don't understand from the start then be prepared to not understand most of the concepts because she will not go back and help. I wouldn't recommend this class if you are trying to take it in Zoom.

Never answers back emails. Most of what I learned was through YouTube not lectures. When the class was failing she deemed it the students fault even with clear comments on what needed improvement. When I got a question correct on a test but it was graded as wrong she told me it didnt matter about the point I made a good grade anyway.

I took her in summer flex which was really challenging. There is a lot of material that is covered and taking in flex or summer is too quick and hard. I recommend taking the full 16-week semester term not flex. She is always available if you need extra help. She genuinely wants to pass you and drops your lowest test grade.

Terrible teacher. Doesn't provide any examples or videos of problems to help students. Doesn't communciate effectively. Doesn't answer messages timely. (takes days to receive a response) She is extremely rude and unwilling to work with students. I regret taking her class with her as the professor.
