Professor Majedi is super charismatic and entertaining. You will easily pass this class as there is no homework or exams. You will get randomly called on in class to answer questions. I would take another class taught by her just to be in her presence.

Nice as a professor but I did feel that the course content was very mundane and repetitive in scope. It also moved extremely slow at times, causing me to feel bored throughout the course. There wasn't anything particularly fun, so this course wasn't rewarding to me. However, it's easy to receive an A, even with participation and the group project.

Seems to be well-intentioned and passionate about what she teaches, but can be rude and condescending at times. She also tends to ramble and have trouble concisely conveying the ideas she's trying to teach.

I genuinely don't understand the hate for Professor Majedi! She's super sweet and enthusiastic, and had me looking forward to each seminar. She is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable on the subject and I learned a lot of new things. All in all, would definitely recommend this course :)

Dr. Majedi is clearly very passionate about the class content, and creates the most interactive class environment i've experienced at UCSB. while there isn't a written syllabus, Dr. Majedi is extremely collaborative with the class in setting expectations for assignments. A fun, easy class as long as your willing to speak up and self-advocate.

Absolutely adored the course and learned so much! Favorite professor at UCSB.
