Absolutely amazing professor. I had her for multiple classes and I love how much she cares about each student. Honestly, even though she doesn't tach my major and I took the classes to be more in touch with my Persian heritage, I would always take the higher level Persian class and accidentally got a minor in it because of how compelling she is.

Prof Feiz is THE BEST prof ever. She cares a lot about her students and her class is really easy. I took 157I and it was the best GE I have ever taken.

Dr. Feiz is genuinely an amazing professor, and I'm writing this review years after I took her class. I was a student at UCSB several years back, and the only professor I have fond memories of is Dr. Feiz. She is so kind and caring, and everything a professor should be. You will love any class she teaches, that's a guarantee.

I love Prof. Feiz! She is so sweet and caring. I am a heritage Farsi Speaker but never knew how to read and write, but taking the series of 58A-F has changed my life. I know so much more about my own heritage and culture just by virtue of taking classes with Aazam. Take her if you can!
