Reviews of professor Elham Satvat

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She's a very nice person but not the best at teaching. You need to read the textbook and her lectures are just rehashing the textbook, not engaging at all. Exams were hard, but you can do decent if you study well. For the assignment you need to follow the instructions EXACTLY... and they're somewhat unclear...

I would not recommend this prof at all, her lectures are directly from the textbook. Assignments had super specific instructions and grading was super tough. I lost marks for things like using Professor instead of Dr. and including my student number on the cover page. Exams were also really difficult

One of the worst profs I've ever had and will never take anything with her again. She's a nice person but an awful instructor, straight up read a script of the textbook for every "lecture" video which obviously made the material boring and impossible to grasp, plus told us we couldn't ask her or the TAs any questions about the assignment. Avoid.

I did not like this prof online but in person she was great. She was interactive with us and very kind/funny. Lectures are very important as the exam contains content that was only stated during lectures. Her lectures are easy to follow along with.

I am doing very well in the course, but it is purely because of the textbook. Her lectures are very sparse and unorganized, and are just summaries from the textbook. She is very rude and unapproachable, so it is difficult to ask for clarification. This is not a professional quality of someone who is supposed to be teaching.

Professor Satvat was a tough grader but was very knowledgeable in her resected field. You have to read the textbook to pass and study hard for the exams. Overall, I did enjoy her teaching style with videos and expected the difficultly level with it being a psychology class. She encourages discussion and answers questions in class and on email!

Dr. Satvat is a nice person, but as a professor, she was unapproachable. She and her TAs are extremely tough graders and they don't even provide a rubric, so I lost marks for missing the tiniest details. Her wording for the test questions is also terrible as they tend to be very vague and confusing. I plan to avoid Elham at all costs in the future.

Exams were pretty fair, read the textbook and watch the lectures and you'll do good. The assignment was a bit harder, but if you follow the rubric, you can definitely get a good mark.

She's a textbook teacher. I taught myself everything through the text book, because it was more engaging that her lectures. I did good on the assignment, just make sure you thoroughly follow the rubric. The exams are easy, but i am giving myself credit for that, cause again, i taught myself everything.
