Dr. Valizadeh is one of the kindest and most genuine professors I have ever take at UCLA. She engages the class and teaches clearly and thoroughly. Participation counts and she truly cares for each student. Above all, the material she teaches is very interesting and the teaching methods she uses work for all learning styles. Exams are not tough and truthfully based completely on class material. Engagement in class discussions is highly recommended. I would 100% take her class again!

Dr. Nooshin is one of my favorite professors at UCLA. She is incredibly compassionate, caring, knowledgable, and fun. She makes the lecture discussions super engaging and interesting. There is no actual midterm/final exams, she gives us options of social media discussion, an event paper and one final paper. In general, this is not a hard class, but you learn a lot and Dr. Nooshin makes everything so fun to learn. She is also an activist and participate in Slut Walk performances etc. Dr. Nooshin enjoys knowing students, by the middle of the quarter, she remembers most students' names and my classmates always participate in active discussions in lectures. I highly recommend this class!!
