Summer 2019 - Nooshin was a great professor and very helpful! One of the only professors that I've had that didn't make me feel like I was being rushed out during office hours. Class is mostly broken up by participation, midterm exam, and a final. Participation is easy, as class discussions are interesting and thought-provoking. She even shows you cool videos on YouTube that relate to class discussions. She offers multiple extra credit opportunities. Definitely recommend taking this class if you have the opportunity!
