There are no redeeming qualities to her teaching style -- she manages to be both condescending and totally incoherent at the same time. The book is hardly used, except for trick questions on her exams. Also, no matter what size the class is, there is only a 25% chance she'll know your name.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/949199","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:43:42.661760+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTE4NzAzNTg5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:266500","instructor_name":"Dhavan Shah","course_label":"JOURN345","course_id":"JOURN 345","course_uid":"course_65d7a926ef836ca5b1857d3f","review_date":"2011-06-06 14:25:24 +0000 UTC","comment":"Shah is a great professor and always keeps students interested in the material.
