Very unclear and unorganized; did not turn assignments back before the final. Misleading when it came to studying for tests. Very harsh, unfair, and slow grader. Does not give partial credit. Slow on responding to emails or questions. I don't recommend this teacher at all.

do not recommend at all. She is probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. does not know to rel material. no one in the class answers questions because no one understands. her tests are hard to prep for. she doesnt do hardly any examples and when she does, you are expected to know how to do it rather than showing you first. GOOD LUCK.

Could possibly be the worst professor I've had the displeasure of taking. She does not explain anything. Puts equations up on the board then jumps straight into practice problems without explaining any of it. If you enjoy relying on the book than take her class. This course should just be online since she doesn't actually teach anything.

Worst teacher ever. Class average on the midterm was 67% and most of the students in her class are failing, and she says the reason is that we didn't study right.

She is very passionate with physics, but as a teacher, does not do well. Most of the time she puts up problems on the board and then asks for answers without explaining how to do them. I only got by with the textbook and other resources. Do not recommend if you've haven't any experience with physics prior to the class!!

She just puts up some formulas on the board and explain what the formulas do and she does not explain the concept of the lessons, so you just learn how to work with formulas and you get nothing of the concepts. But when it comes to exams she expect students to know the concepts. she is very unorganized. I really don't recommand her.

Very unorganized, didn't know about the textbook needed until first day of class. Homework was given, but not told what textbook it was for... hard class as the concepts aren't really explains besides in the textbooks.

Really tried in this class, did not want to have to retake. Professor constantly changed due dates, sometimes by a week an hour before originally due. Wouldn't answer student questions and rambled. Messed up my accommodations multiple times, especially exams. Points per assignment and grading made zero sense, and help was fairly inaccessible.

Professor was very unorganized and graded homework very slowly. Be prepared to do a lot of self-studying.

I'm not going to lie, in the beginning I was okay with the teacher. But later on, in her lectures, they were all over the place; she introduces 10 things at once without explaining what everything is- then gets frustrated when you say you don't understand something or ask a question. Do yourself a favor and don't take her class. She ruined my GPA..

This professor cant make things clear. her lectures are all over the place and unfocused, her assignments are confusing at best. she relies heavily on here old videos to teach for her. All of which sound like they were recorded on an xbox 360 mic. this professor is just an overall headache.

Teacher is very picky and will give you a lot of homework and she expects every assignment to be perfect or you won't get full marks, you can't resubmit assignments and there are no test corrections. Honestly the hardest level 1 course I have ever taken, and I even had another physics teacher tell me that kimia was being a little harsh

Professor's lectures are often not a good representation on what is going to be on the exam, despite verbal confirmation stating that it would be very similar to certain assignments. She also take a very long time to respond to emails, if at all, and grades very harshly. If you have to take this professor I wish you luck.

This professor and this class are quite horrendous. She is a very tough grader and throws lots of curveballs into the tests. She makes assignments due the same day she assigns them. She doesn't explain her material very well. She also messes up on/can't remember the physics problem that she writes a day earlier. All in all: do not take her.

The worst class I have ever taken. She will not prepare you for the exam! None of her class content, lecture content, or activities done in class, will prepare you for the exam, so be ready to do A LOT of extra work. Normally professor will work with you, she will work against you. Basically wants you to do extra work instead of herself. HORRIBLE.

Anytime I ask her a question, I never get a straight answer, and if I wait and ask her the same question again 10 minutes later she has a different answer. very confusing and not straightforward. I regret taking her, she has ruined my GPA, and my hopes of transferring, all while she blames everyone but herself for the class averaging below a 3.0

No. Just no.

TLDR : dont take this professor if u have plans to transfer. I beg you. this class has jeopardized the future of several students, seriously. If you take her, be ready to constantly be worried about exams and labs. You NEED to stay on your toes for all three exams if you want a 4.0. The exams also cover literally almost nothing we cover in class.

Your grade depends on your relation with her, so be aware of her grading, check your grades.

DO NOT TAKE HER. She is the worst professor at the school. She dose not go over all the materiel and tests you of stuff that she haven't covered. Your relationship with her also determines your grade in the class. Take any other professor that teaches physics, you will save yourself many stressful nights.

I am a straight A student but this class was next level, Kimia doesn't know how to get her point across. Most of the time the students were telling her how to solve the problems. She messed up a lot of the numbers and concepts while teaching which is frustrating when you are trying to learn the content.

The lectures felt disorganized, and Kimia needs to work on clarifying. She can also get annoyed easily when the class doesn't understand the material as fast as she wants. Expect to read 30 pages and watch 5-10 videos each week on top of understanding the problems from the lectures 3x/week. If you have a solid background in physics, you'll be fine.

I took her class in my fifth quarter at Cascadia, and it is the sole blemish on my otherwise 4.0 GPA. Her grading was merciless and seemed low effort. Extremely strict late work and resubmission policy compared to the other teachers at Cascadia. My test average in other classes is never below 90 but I had an average of 81 in this class.

Let's say you need to spend 10+ hours/week to pass Calc3, in this class, you need to spend nearly 30+, not an organized class, and a tremendous amount of homework. DO NOT TAKE this class even if it is your last option, wait for the next quarter to choose another professor

This professor is not clear whatsoever in her assignments and never puts them into canvas on time. She would take weeks on weeks to grade homework assignments, and if you miss one homework assignment, your grade will drop 5 percent. The class is not difficult but she tries her hardest to be incoherent, tests are barely any percent of your grade

take this class to learn about the most important part of the physical world: struggling and living through power imbalances. expect lectures where you will become more confused+rushed. feedback for HW comes after exams: you are working blindly. expect to be disrespected as a person, for your time and questions. your mental health will come last.

would never take again. non-organized class

Possibly the worst professor I've ever taken. VERY disorganized, tons of homework for no reason, and doesn't cover anything relevant in lectures. Doesn't respond to emails timely, and is a very late grader. Her lectures are also very unclear, and she sounds confused on what she's teaching most of the time. Overall, not worth taking.

Overall, one of the WORST professors I've ever taken at Cascadia. Her course(s) are extremely disorganized, having multiple homework categories for absolutely no reason that aren't graded on time. She rushes through lectures and only covers base-level knowledge with poor explanations - she teaches directly from the textbook. Overall, not worth it.

this class took years off my life in just 3 months. save yourself.

NEVER TAKE CLASS FROM HER!!!

Dr. Ghanbeigi is very disorganized. Her canvas course is unnavigable. Her general physics class consists of a few assignments graded with unclear guidelines and unhelpful feedback. Her exams are just as unorganized as her class structure. Missing class means you either miss nothing or get a 0 in an assignment you were unaware you had.

Do not take her unless you have no other choice. Possibly the worst teacher in the department. Go to all of her classes and interact, even if it kills your soul. Make sure you turn everything in on time. Email her immediately if something is wrong (typically with the assignment). Her test questions are from the open stax textbook.

You wont know when assignments are due and if you do be prepared for them to change up last second. You wont be able to have any information on some assignments unless you attend class, canvas page will not tell you what to do. Cooked class.
