Reviews of professor Pati Shojaee

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Ok class but I would not want to take her class again. Very great course material but poor professor who made lectures very boring and uninformative. I don't really appreciate her style of teaching and she seems really strict and needs to be more loose in her approach and personality. Would not recommend or take again!

Mass Media, Pati was equally disorganized in this class, but the projects were not as difficult, but since she is so inconsistent with her own grading criteria she might have been just dismissive this semester. This class didn't seem as excruciating as her others. I don't mind flawed professors but I do not like personality to override competency.

Honestly, I am surprised by these ratings. In my experience Pati was understanding, communicative, and a fair grader. I appreciated her and liked her class. The only thing I would change was the group assignments and how long she gives you to do them. Fair teacher.

Pati is very friendly and encouraging, but some of the reading she assigns is radical feminist theory that has very little to do with the subject matter. She grades speeches according to a rubric that will give a good speech a D. I was within 1% of an A, but no, got a B. I have a degree in communications from MIT I got before she was BORN.

I got 89.5 she gave me B. She talks points easily. I think for commutation class she was unreasonable. Dont waist you time in her class.

She takes the textbook and relates it to interesting topics. Gives good feedback on assignments and she really cares about her students.

Phenomenal teacher, really takes her time to make sure youre comfortable with each topic before moving on and super supportive when youre giving a speech and get nervous. Gives quite a bit of homework but its understandable because class is only once a week. It was a pleasure working with you Pati!
