She's sweet brings snacks to class hella easy

Professor Afary is very passionate about her field of work, but she does not really show much interest in her students. I had a hard time contacting her via email and she also didn't seem to care too much about keeping her students a priority. She would come into class not prepared and completely forget what we talked about since the last session.

Love her! Took RGST 29 with afary and she brought snacks. She also had a really cute Halloween and rainy day outfit. Two handwritten midterms and a final but they were hella easy and self explanatory questions so I never did the readings and aced them. Read off her slides a bit but she clearly knew her stuff. Would take another class with afary

I took RG ST 29, it was a really great class. I was interested in the material before so taking the class was very interesting, I loved the material. The exams were not stressful and homework was basically just readings that she went over anyways in class(slides). Overall a light and easy going class! I loved it and would definitely take it again!

Soft spoken professor and slide dependent lectures but if you want to learn about Iran its a great class to take that wasn't hard really. Two midterms that you have to study for but if you study they're super easy. Section attendance is mandatory but you go over a lot of topics that help with the midterms and final. Final is a paper and easy test

Professor Afary is extremely knowledgable about the topic, but her lectures were often hard to pay attention to. The midterm and final are both a mixture of multiple choice and free response questions. Attendance was supposed to be mandatory, but she was very inconsistent about taking attendance. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH JANNA HAIDER IF YOU CAN
