great lectures, easy to understand and follow, very very caring about students and a very very smart lady. love her

She talks fast and only gives examples about vaping. She actually hates vaping so much, and I am not sure why. Also does not post slides, and if you try to take a picture she is going to single you out in front of the entire class. The course is so theory-based that it gets so boring. Online tests, but they are hard and have no study guide

Professor Nabi is my favorite professor at UCSB. She makes sure to give examples for all concepts which allows students to understand the material better. There was one midterm, one final and a small paper, which were all online.

The class is pretty interesting and she is passionate about the material. However, she isn't the most charismatic professor. Compared to the other upper division comm classes, this one is definitely more challenging. Grade is composed of 3 exams, a 2 page essay, and some participation. Exams can be difficult, but take good notes and read carefully.

Do not take her class, is she knowledgeable on the subject, sure. But her exams are the hardest I have ever taken in my academic career and even when you think you did well you didn't. her exams are 10% multiple-choice and the rest will be short answer and essay questions. Least favorite class at UCSB by far. The course consist of 3 exams/1 essay.

+ Content & teaching: very good to excellent. Nabi is a highly respectable researcher, especially in persuasion, and she is quite good at lecturing; I really learned a lot - Grade is heavily dependent on participation & lacking can SIGNIFICANTLY impact your grade. Those who prefer to be quiet/learn more independently, be aware & make an effort!
