Comment:

She respects hard workers. If you are mature about the commitment she usually hands the best problems to solve in a design field. she is conscious of the real problems that you will face in the future and hence it requires maturity. If you gain her respect she has a sense of humor and cares for your project while at the same time gives you freedom

Comment:

She is more helpful for upper level studio. If you do the design simple and well thought, you should be fine. It's kinda hard to guess what grade she will give you at the end (I think it depend on the critics at the final), so Zehra is a risky choice for design studio. On the good side she allows you to work after the final to improve your grade.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. She really is terrible all around. Doesn't know what she is talking about. All she does is complain, not teach. A waste of a semester with her. I learned nothing from her. Overly critical and just mean to everyone. Avoid at all costs.

Comment:

She was my first year studio professor and worst professor/teacher ever in my life. Doesn't teach anything, complains all the time, never give you constructive feedback, never willing to teach. DO NOT TAKE HER COURSE or you will end up hating architecture

Comment:

Zehra does not respect the young mind. She does not understand that the architecture profession takes practice. She is very demeaning and is not fit to be a college professor. She told me along with another classmate to leave architecture. Me she told to become a renderer, my classmate she told to become a pianist - avoid her she cannot help you

Comment:

She was definately not of the of better profs ive had.shes rough, and usually pretty harsh.i did learn things from her but found her to be generally unsupportive.she admires new ideas and bashes typical ones.if you do take her,be prepared for alot of work,and drawing to the point that there would be no next step except actual construction.

Comment:

Her class will do you more damage than good at this point of your studies. If you are unfortunate to take her stick by your reasons dont let her verbal beratings distract you and reference any lessons previously learned to build from. She will not be presenting you with anything new to build from

SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TEACH!!!!!!!! its so fustrating, she creates a enivornment of pure hell, literally telling students "drop out of architecture, its not meant for you" or "I dont know how they let you into this school, you can bearly speak english" just some of my favorate quotes.

Comment:

by far the worst ive encountered/heard of at pratt. kuz is a bad prof in addition to not having anything to teach her students. she'd be more bearable if she knew what she was screeching about. well, there goes $4,000 down the drain with nothing to show

Comment:

Just don't take her. Honestly didn't learn much of anything. I feel as if semester was a waste of time,Ive never felt that way before about a design studio. 1st project i've actually resented(partly 300 level fault). Takes favorites, highly disrespectful.
