She is not helpfull at all. She has yelled at students for asking questions.

She is horrible.. I would not recommend her at all... you can't understand her and most of the time she rambles on things that don't really go along with the class. She gets mad if you don't know the answer to problems she doesn't explain.

She was not helpful at all. She often gets angry at you if you need help and do not understand the work. Her English is hard to understand and she talks softly. I do not recommend her if you have never taken chemistry before.

Oh my god, she is horrible teacher.

Worst professor ever!! She yells at you if you have a question. She made my lab partner cry!! Made the class so much harder and so unclear. Did not feel like an intro class at all. Avoid at ALL costs! I am retaking this class because of her!!!

She was an awful professor. She is very hard to understand and she thinks everyone knows chemistry already. She goes off onto different tangents all the time that are just confusing to the students. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

Oh,my god. She was really horible. I really hate her. Her lecture was soooo bad. I never take her lecture any more.

AWFUL! Do not take her class! She berates students, cannot grade tests and is rude. She expects you to know the information before she teaches it. Won't answer questions, says it wastes class time! Be prepared to teach yourself.

She is compleatly REPREHENSIBLE - Zero teaching ability and lazy - Every test has incomplete questions, and trying to clarify the answers makes her threaten that she can make the class very difficult for us. Will not explain - only finds fault with you.

If at all possible take another instructor for Chem 140. Do not take Chem 140 from her during the summer session, it will make your life hell. She is an intelligent woman however, she does not know how to teach basic chemistry.

worst prof ever, i had to teach myself, she can't explain anything!!!

I totally agree with everyones commets. She is the worst teacher ever.

Does not teach. I found that if I listened to her I would become very confused and very frustrated. If you ask a question she tells you that you already learned that in grade school, and then contiues with lecture.

Im sorry to say but i had the worst experience with her. If you want to screw up your GPA then go ahead take her class. She cant speak enough english and her tests are incomplete. I wasted my money and my time!!!!!!!!

Absolutly horrible teacher. Avoid her at all costs. Cannot speak clear english. Does not help with any questions. And screams at students to embarrass them when they do ask questions. Offers no help. Not worth the time...or the money...or the humiliation :-{

I would actually cry after this class....she would make me feel incredibly horrible and incompetent after any question I asked during labs, after class, or even in her own office during her office hours. Please avoid her.

Her accent is very hard to understand. And the whole class feels that she is too smart to teach beginning chemistry. She's nice, but just too hard to learn from. She jumps from topic to topic, and doesn't give much of a chance for questions. She makes you feel pretty dumb.

If you enjoy being belittled, disrespected, ignored and basically treated like crap...then this is the class for you! If you actually NEED a chem credit TAKE ANY OTHER PROF!!! You can't understand her and she is completely unapproachable. ANY question is the WRONG question. RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!

VERY difficult to understand. She makes the course way above what it should be and insists that it is easy. She yells at you for asking simple questions and expects every student to be at her level of knowledge. She says all public school teachers are stupid. Watch out!

DON'T DO IT! save time, money, and a huge headache. the worst classroom experience ever.expects you to be a chemist on day 1 and is full of herself and hard to understand. your butt will be chewed if you ask any questions.she belongs in the research feild and not the classroom.

She sucks plain and simple. A waste of money and time. She doesn't explain what she is teaching and her manor of 'teaching' is a JOKE. She doesn't teach...she expects you to know everything right off the bat. This is NOT an intro class in my opinion...at least not the way she teaches it.

Worst teacher I have ever taken! She never explains what she is teaching, just rambles on. She will never think you understand and always makes you feel like an idiot. Expects you to know everything she knows and therefore she won't teach you. Her words exactly "My job isn't to teach you, it is to mentor you while you teach yourself!" STAY AWAY

i have to drop the class because she is horriable. worst teacher i have ever had. didnt understand a thing. nothing was clear and she yelled at us because it was our class as a whole's fault. glad i am done with her

This professor is the worst I have ever had. In chemistry I have been responsible for my own learning because she is not good at explaining anything! She continually goes off on tangents, expecting her students to follow her pattern of thinking. She cannot vary her methods of teaching either. She is also impatient with her students. Her tests suck!

She is hard to understand. Her tests are extremely difficult and even if you show up to class everyday, you may not pass. I never missed a class and i still failed it despite even going to her office for help.

Definetely not a good teacher! One of the worst I've had...she is not helpful and really only cares about what she understands! If you don't get something, good luck with the entire class! Ah its a total joke! and waste of time!

This was a very frustrating class. She does not teach well at all and she can be very moody, which affects her grading. While I think that she cares about her students, she is incompetent when it comes to teaching this subject. I ended up dropping this class from her so I could take it with a prof that can actually teach it.

Hard to understand what she says and does not teach well. I liked chemisty before this class!!!!!!!

Very unorganized, does not know how to answere questions and sometimes refuses. Rarely available during office hours.

Horrible teacher. Says the book is wrong and you have to do it her way otherwise it will be wrong on tests. On a few days (when she is behind in her teaching) the book will be right and we have to use it because she won't have time to teach it. It will still be wrong on the test...DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! EVER!!! Worst teacher I have ever had.

Dr Sadrai is a crabby professor who says she wants to answer your questions but snaps at you when you have them. She is an extremly intelligent person but doesn't convey her knowledge well to others. It is also not helpful that it is hard to understand her accent. If given a choice again I would not have taken CHEM 211 with Sadrai.

She is by far the worst teacher i have ever had. If you try to ask her a question she will interrupt you and say that you dont know anything and say that you should go retake a lower class for any question you ask. It can be an easy A but you wont learn a f%$#@*^ thing!

I cannot say in clean words how much I hated taking this class. She is so smart that she expects everybody to know everything that she knows. She is so spacey; She'll start talking about something, then say "Oh but you dont need to know that until CHEM 211 or CHEM 430" or something crazy like that. It's hard to understand her through heraccent, but

Worst professor I've ever had. Do everything in your power to not take a chemistry course with her as a teacher. I have never had less than a B my entire life, and I currently have a D in her class. You will learn absolutely nothing taking this course. Main point: friends don't let friends take Sadrai.

She is a very smart person, but has no knowledge of how to teach. She wastes our time by talking to us about things we don't even need to know until later chemistry courses. She also shares with us pointless information about what is REALLY in our food. I took this course with an interest in chemistry, now I feel I am not prepared for CHEM 211!!

The worst teacher I have ever had. I maybe understood 50% of the words she was saying. I got solid A's in high school and don't believe I have learned a thing in her class. You'll never know if you get a problem right in class or not. She attempts to do complicated math in her head because she doesn't believe in calculators. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

The only way to pass is to suck up to her. I failed most of my quizes and still got a c+ because I visited her during office hours.The final is SUPER hard, I only knew 10 out of the 70 ?'s (standardized). To pass quizes you NEED to study the example problems in the book... the crap she does on the board means nothing. Labs are easy bc of the TA's!

One time during a class excercise, I asked for help, and she got so mad she got in my face and yelled at me in front of the whole class, and I honestly thought she was gonna slap me in the face. Need I say more?

Hard to understand accent and grades based on favoritism. avoid at all costs

Good Luck!

Not worth it. Avoid her at all cost! Seriously.. Unless you're into teaching yourself, then go for it. She grades unfairly and yells at you when you ask questions..

She is not helpful at all. She thinks she is the best teacher there is and all the other chem teachers suck. Don't ask questions in class, she will embarrass you. I suggest not taking this class with her.

The class was going to be hard regardless but having a heavy Iranian accent and a vengeance for american students made this course unbearable. She will make you look stupid in front of the whole class. She goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with the subject and a whole class period can go by without learning a thing. AVOID!

Would not recommend this professor to anyone! She basically read power points to us straight from our book and told us we were all 'mindless'. Also stated she was not there to teach, only to guide. Extremely difficult tests and makes you feel stupid if you ask any questions!
