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.

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

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.

Professor Nabi is an extremely engaging professor and wants to support each student equally. She recommends office hours and is helpful if you are confused/ need clarification. She uses a lot of examples in her lectures that apply to the concepts we are learning. Lots of reading and only graded on a midterm, final, and essay.

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.

Prof. Nabi gives good lectures and her slides are easy to follow along. Her exams are online and open note which is great, but the tests are very hard. Some of the questions are subjective and they are mostly short answer. She also tends to ramble a lot during lecture and talk about herself but connects it to class content which is good.

Dr. Nabi is a pretty run-of-the-mill professor. Not too bad, but not amazing. She can be funny at times, which breaks apart the monotony of lecture. However, she doesn't post any of her slides and some questions on the exams (1 midterm and 1 final) can be kind of subjective.
