Dr Mehdizadeh seems to genuinely want us to internalize her advice and improve our writing. She is at times unclear and sometimes rigid, but if you follow her train of thought and write according to the way she wants you to, you'll be on track to receive an easy A. Additionally, she gives readings and weekly homework assignments that are sometimes tedious or intimidating, but you'll receive a fair score if you put in the effort. Overall, I think I was truly able to take away something useful from this class; all her modules will come together and make sense in the end, in my opinion.

Dr. MEHDIZADEH is a 10/10 professor. Clear, to the point, and inspiring.

A heavy workload will have you writing 4-5 pages for homework due one day later. The topic is wellness, which is incredibly boring in the context you are learning. The final project is more manageable than the homework.

Easy A as long as you do what she tells you to do in the SPECIFIC ways that she tells you to do. As long as you do you homework (like 3h/wk) and not procrastinate (IMPOSSIBLE) you will be basically guarenteed an A. She has an extra credit thing at the end that gives you like 3 extra points on your final essay (out of 20).

One thing I liked about her lectures were how engaging they were BUT THAT WAS IT! It was clear she had favorites and spoke to people differently for odd reasons. She would dock points off on your assignments and never leave comments on why. She assigns long assignments and says to answer them thoughtfully, but when you do it's apparently not enough. I honestly was pissed about my grade because I believe I deserved an A but due to her randomly docking off points I received a B-. Like for example, on an Community Engagements doc where everyone was supposed to write down one thing they would like to see in the class regarding how we would like our class to be structured she docked off like 5 points off the assignment even though I completed it. She docks off how much she wants then never gives an explanation on why even when you come up to her and ask. She also has her email set to an automated message where you rarely get a response back. I wouldn't recommend taking her please choose someone else!!!!!
