Professor Nabi is an excellent professor who is genuinely concerned with the students' comprehension of the material. I thoroughly enjoyed her class because she doesn't just lecture, she throws out her own anecdotes; as opposed to a professor that just spouts out concepts and theories. She is very helpful when you don't understand the material.
Nabi is one of my favorite professors at UCSB. She is extremely smart, and super funny in a quirky way...you laugh every class period. She explains the material in an interesting way, but to do well, write down everything she says, even her examples. She talks so much and gives so much info that you don't need to read (I didn't at all and got an A)
very fun, kind & knowledgeable. earnest in effort to make sure students understand material. excellent in clarifying questions. very accessible outside of lecture. if u can get thru dolly's tests, u can get thru nabi's: be able to understand specifics of & theoret. apply concepts but DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HER EXAMS like i did today for her 117 class!
clear power points, very enthusiastic, tests are MC and short answer, to do well you have to memorize the notes b/c her tests ask for you to recall stuff nearly verbatim, which is doable since they are so clearly outlined/organized. interesting material, she really knows her stuff, really wans to help students do well. One 5-7pg paper, MT & final.
took her for health comm. may seem deceiving because she is very personable and enthusiastic about lecture, but her slides are awful - scattered all over the place and not coherent. also her exams are very hard. do good on the paper and you have a slight chance for a B! exams are thorough and intense mostly from her lectures - not really text.
She is extremly unfair and expects students to know more than is physically possible. Had she put all of her ERES readings into a reader, everyone would have dropped her class the first day because it would have been 4 inches thick. Do not take her, if you think Mullins are hard, they are a picnic compared to her.
Although she is very friendly and interested in the material her lecture notes are long and confusing and her grading is not hard but unfair. I would never reccomend her, but if the class is offered by another prof take it.
I took her Health Communication class during the summer. She is very kind and answers any questions you have with utmost care. Her exams are a bit hard and there is lots of reading. If you go to class and study, you'll do fine. (duh!!)
