Reviews of professor Nadia Mahallati

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Get ready to write papers with little to no direction. Vague on assignment criteria and doesn't get papers graded until after the semester; very difficult to know what/how she wants you to write. Expect weekly discussions with required posting and obscure rules about when posts are accepted. Very strict on grammar. Grades not correct/updated online

This class was easy for an online class with little lecture material. Get the eBook if possible as you can easily find answers to quizzes and exams through the search function. She also reuses quiz questions on exams. This will prevent having to read the very terrible textbook. Papers were interesting to write about.

She is unclear about grading expectations and docks assignments for ridiculous grammar rules. Class is too focused on her opinion (which is feminist theory). Textbook is incredibly boring. Test questions are overly specific. Final is open book with no time limit so expect questions about material that wasn't really covered in the lecture videos.

Nadia is really nice and her lectures are entertaining. Don't want to miss classes though, because on the quizzes there will be things she covered in class that are not on the powerpoint that she uploads to canvas. Not an easy A but if you put in the work, you can do well and you'll feel like you learned a lot which is refreshing. would take again

I loved Nadia's class, she is amazing at her job. I learned so much from her and enjoyed listening to her lectures. She always includes current events into her lessons while also helping us understand the history behind it. She is a great source of information, very qualified and educated. Not only was she a great professor but a great person too.

Nadia is a really good professor. Her lectures are interesting and very informative, and she will take time in class to answer all your questions. As long as you do the weekly quizzes, put effort into the writing assignments, and do the midterm/final, you should get an A. I only got less because I'm not great at getting homework done...
