This Professor is a hack whose articles in the Iranian-Jewish Quarterly are misspelled, and negligently researched at best. Worst of all, her course, History111C is listed as "modern middle east politics" when, in reality, it is a myopic study of Iranian Jews taught from a book of poorly cited anecdotes, and which ignores the Persian history completely. Total bait and switch with the course listing, otherwise I'd never have signed up. Stay away if you value your GPA, because she doesn't bother to double check her TAs grading, which was inane and rife with mistakes. Remember: you can't un-take a class in your university career, so research before you commit. One out of four, all 'round.

HISTORY 111C Here's the deal: If you aren't Persian, you might have a hard time understanding her accent. But you get used to it by the 3rd lecture. This class, however, is super simply. As long as you take notes and fill out the study guide, you're set for an A. She gives you all the possible questions for the midterm and final. She also gives you the terms to look for in each week's readings. Overall, easy A. If anyone is looking to buy the Habib Levy book that is required for this course, I am selling it for $60. I bought it for $110. Text me at ********** :)

She is terrible. Stay away from her classes at all costs. She is somewhat of a nice lady and tries hard, but she is just not cut out for teaching. Her class isn't too hard but I dreaded seeing her. I don't think I can put into words how much me and my fellow classmates despised her. Whenever we would set up any study sessions, we would have to spend a good hour complaining about how bad of a teacher she was and how much we dreaded going to class. I got an A in the end but would have preferred a C on my transcript if I didn't have to put up with her horrendous attitude. I promise you you will regret taking any class with her.
