Grade consists of Midterm, Final, Essay, and Social Media Assignment. Midterm and Final was difficult, a cheat sheet was allowed. Attendance not mandatory but I wouldn't take her class again and I did not know my final grade until grades were posted on gold because canvas was not updated the whole quarter.

An absolute gem of a professor! Super personable, helpful, and engaging. Uses a lot of useful examples in lecture that aren't in the slides, so I recommend including them in your notes. Exams are a bit difficult, but are open-note with a study guide provided so if you do your due diligence you'll be fine!

Class consists of a midterm and final (MC, TF, short answer. All online, but still difficult). Research paper that was graded kinda harshly, but you have lots of free range on the topic. Also a social media assignment (super easy). Go to lecture and take good, detailed notes, w/ examples, and you wont need to study to pass/ get a B in class

Overall confused by this class. I attended every lecture, studied for the tests and worked hard on the paper but was graded very harshly. Got worse scores on these online test than in my bio and chem classes. Do not recommend.

It was my first time having Nabi, and it was great! The material is so fascinating and applicable to your own life; she uses tons of examples in lecture that I would write down. Grade is based on midterm, paper, and final. Exams are online and open note; paper is easy and broad(I did it in a day). Class is great bc Nabi is so personable and lively!

Professor Nabi is a good professor and her lectures are interesting to an extent. Your grade in this class is based off of a midterm, a paper, the final and your participation. This class was not very enjoyable, I don't recommend. Nothing personal to the professor but not a lit class.
