The course itself is interesting and easy to follow but the exams can be a tad bit challenging. The midterm was lengthy with tricky questions while the final was pretty straightforward. Just attend her review session before the final and you should be good. She is a lenient grader and really wants her students to learn. Lectures can be dry though.Rate My Professors ↗
The material is fairly straightforward and the professor is nice. There were some hiccups in the class as this was the first offering but all in all it was a pretty useful course.Rate My Professors ↗
She cares for her students but this was her first time taking the course and unfortunately, it showed. The material is not too difficult and the workload is manageable but the lectures are heavy. She updates the same set of slides before every class which causes a lot of confusion. The tests are incredibly long and slightly on the difficult side.Rate My Professors ↗
She is clear with grading criteria and what will be on quizzes and tests. Would recommend her for any class she teachesRate My Professors ↗
Prof. Azadeh really knows the subject and it shows. The course is well-structured and the material is not too challenging. She is really helpful outside of the classroom too.Rate My Professors ↗
She knows the material very well and explains it thoroughly. Her quizzes and exams are extremely fair and grading is to the benefit of the student. An effort is a must to do well on the project. Overall, a great professor.Rate My Professors ↗
