Comment:

This class was very difficult to go to, she made it not interesting. You have to read and study the textbook to pass because her notes are too vague. Occassionally grades tests wrong so check your answers. Study a lot

Comment:

Mozayeni is probably a great economist but she truly can not communicate the material effectively to students who are taking her intro level class. She lectures about unimportant things and explains the material in a very confusing way. When you ask questions, you end up even more confused than you were to begin with.

Comment:

This professor was my only choice that fit my schedule, This professor is very rude and if you have questions/concerns he won't answer it, He tells you to read the textbook. Unorganized, misleading syllabus. Has attitude issues, grades your tests/exams incorrectly so make sure you go over it.

Comment:

Rude and not helpful at all. She acts both clueless and annoyed when I ask her about a question on a test. Office hours are of no help either, instead of explaining useful information to you she just complains the whole time about how little time she has left. Learned nothing from this class. Do NOT register classes with this professor.

Comment:

Rude, not very good at giving lectures, gets irritated when students have questions, not organized at all, has an attitude problem, incorrectly grades tests/quizzes (so make sure you go over it in class becuase there's usually at least 4 questions incorrectly marked wrong)

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. She is rude and doesn't care about her students at all. If you don't understand something good luck. You'll need to teach yourself and read the textbook every lesson to understand what is going on. Her lectures are horrible. Tests are very difficult.

Comment:

She's pretty... TERRIBLE Worst professor I've had in college so far, she babbles in class and is terrible at explaining. If you tell her you don't understand, she just restates exactly what she already said instead of trying to explain it in a different manner. She offers no extra credit and her exams and quizzes are very difficult.

Comment:

The best way to survive her Microeconomics course is by reading the textbook know everything in the chapter she will not go over everything. You will have to teach yourself a lot of the topics to get a better understanding. It will feel like a waste going to her class since shes giving you very vague notes but I would go to class just to ask stuff

Comment:

Extremely difficult professor but she will give you the skills you need to understand economics. You have to pay attention in all of her classes and go to office hours but she is very understanding in her office and will give you an extension if you need it. Be open minded cause she doesn't like students using bad logic to justify their answers.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had. Her lectures are unorganized and confusing. She has no idea how to answer student questions or communicate effectively. She speaks in general terms and has no idea how to actually give examples. I'm a senior and have earned an A in every business course except this. She simply can't teach and doesn't care either.

She says she wants you all to pass but is extremely tough grader and really wants you to get a poor grade. No partial credit, not clear, doesn't answer students questions an rambles on about her past in how she had it so hard in college.

Comment:

This teacher was the worst teacher I've ever had. Her lectures are not helpful at all. I truly believed that this teacher wanted to see me fail. She is very unclear. She doesn't believe in answering emails and has no clue how to use the college online system Blackboard. I honestly tried and studied and in return I have to retake the class.

Has an accent. Gives 3 quizzes (20 multiple choice questions each), 2 tests(50 multiple choice questions each) and a final(100 multiple choice questions). One project. Doesn't have a lot of office hours. Would not take again. Read the book, take good notes.

Comment:

She is by far the WORST professorteacher I have ever had the displeasure of having "teach" me material. At the beginning of the semester i tried to see through her tough grading and heavy accent, the awful lectures and nearly nonexistent help she gave. I had an interest in Economics before her and now it's gone. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Comment:

Professor Mozayeni is by far the worst professor I have ever had. Her lectures are extremely boring, she is awful at understanding questions students had and the multiple choice questions on all of her tests and quizzes do not even relate to how she describes them in class. If you want to pass microeconomics,do not take this lady, she is the worst

Comment:

Im a straight A student. I worked so hard for this class. Read and reread the book. But tests are so hard and not clear. What she talks about is not on the test. Hardest class I have ever had. Very disappointing and discouraging. Seems like she doesn't want you to succeed.

Comment:

For a 200 level class that is required by ALL business students (majors & minors) she is definitely not the best choice of a professor. Her tests are extremely hard and the wording of her multiple choice questions are really tricky. You can read the text book & study for hours and still not get a good grade in her class.

Comment:

Okay, Professor Mozayeni is not the greatest at teaching. But she is consistent and she really is a nice person. If you want to do well you need to read the textbook and practice on a weekly basis. If you go to her she will clarify. Exams are very difficult. Her expectations of you are clear, but very high. You will learn a lot in her classes.

Comment:

do NOT take this professor. She is the ABSOLUTE worst. I have her for microeconomics and her tests are so hard. Dont even bother. I studied so much and knew every concept, but the wording of her tests and her choices mess you up. She can't speak clearly, and she doesnt even offer extra credit. Your grade is based off of 4 tests and 2/3 quizzes. >:O
