Amazing professor and amazing class overall. I will say do NOT go in with the expectations that this professor will go easy on you. The analytical skills for this class are set at a higher bar then I was expecting but it really pushes you to be a better reader and writer. Wonderful professor to work with would recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
So sad she only teaches one law school class. Very passionate about what she teaches - it's infectious. Her final exam is tough but fair. She's absurdly smart, detail-oriented, and a joy to be a student of. Everyone respects her a lot and she makes you want to do well. Lucky you if you get her your 1L year!Rate My Professors ↗
Incredible professor. Best of the best.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Sharafi is a great law professor. You can tell she genuinely cares for all of her students. Contracts is a hard class to teach but she made it bearable and even enjoyable. She sets out expectations very clearly and follows the class curriculum so that you prepare with time.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Sharifi is the best professor I have ever had. She clearly wants all students to succeed. You definitely need to do the readings when they are assigned or you're screwed. The midterm and final make up a majority of the grade, but she prepares you really well. If you attend lecture and take good notes and do the readings it is an easy A!Rate My Professors ↗
Sharafi is by far my favorite professor. It is the one class that I felt like I actually knew what was going on during the semester. She teaches the material very well and makes class interesting. Her personality is great! I wish I could take more classes with her.Rate My Professors ↗
