Funny Prof. She has poor notes but if you study A LOT you will do great.

Hehe she is great, marks easy. is usally willing to help you. :)

Study a lot on your own to do great. She is willinf to help you and explains concepts clearly.

Do suggested questions and old exams and you will do great. Notes aren't so good but other than that she's a good prof. Very encouraging and willing to help, wants you to do well. Has a bit of an accent but you get used of it.

She is patient with students and is approachable. I went to her office many times and she was always willing to help me understand the material.

Very helpful prof. She explains chemical concepts very well and gives a reason as to why things occur the way that they do. The students that complain about her do bad because they don't study.

The only people that struggle with organic chem and who are bitter toward this prof, are the ones that don't study. Organic chem is one of the easiest courses you will ever take...IF YOU STUDY!

Before taking this class I heard a lot of bad stuff about this prof. But when I met her she was very friendly and easy to understand. Her accent is not that bad (YOU try learning another language).

She's a great prof! But the university has some better organic chem profs than GMCC. You are better off taking your organic chem at the U.

She is woderful teacher, she explains everything very clear, amazing teacher.

Very helpful and easy to approach.

A brilliant and facinating instructor. One of the best I have had.

well organized and good knwlege of chemistry

always available for help

Very frienly,personally concerned about students

Don't listen to these people who are saying bad things about Manzar! Her notes may not be the best. Yes, her accent is extremely strong, but just go to class and listen, then do the example exams and questions, and you'll get an A. This class was not difficult, and Manzar is more than happy to give you tonnes of extra help if you go see her.

Really good prof, when you listen hard enough. Very friendly and funny, extremely helpful in lab when doing practical work. Make sure to study for her exams, even if she says they'll be "SO easy"!

Manzar is a really nice lady. She is always willing to help you. Go to her office and she will basically tell you answers, and help you understand everything. In class she is not very clear and may ramble on. But now that I'm in Barb's class for 263, I really wish I could still be with Manzar. Study for exams, they are fine in all. Strongly recomme

Great instructor. Concerned about student success and is always willing to help.

Very helpful. Extremely knowledgable. Fair exams. Go to her classes, highly recommend her. Very nice to students. Knows more chemistry than anyone in our college, no comparison.

Manzar is probably the nicest teacher in Chemistry. She really wants every student to do very good. Ask for help, and you get it! She is wonderful. Sometimes she isn't clear, but if u ask, you get help. She is one of the best. Barb is your other choice, and well... goodluck with that! Manzar is the way to go. She is awesome. Take her course!

She is great! You just have to come to her class and pay attention. She will help you with everything and will up your grade if you ask.

The class itself sucks so it doesnt really matter on the prof but her exams are the reason I did well. Her exams are fair and well timed, and she is very helpful if you have questions and concerns. One of my favourite profs ever and would definitely recommend her. Because of the course it requires lots of studying though, but Manzar helps a lot!

If you ask she will practically do the lab for you. She is extremely helpful and wants people to do well. The lab quizzes are tricky but if you study you should do well. She is an extremely easy marker. I definitely recommend Manzar!

If you take her class you will be very much success.

I've taken both chem 263 and 261 with her. She is a wonderful professor who genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She loves organic chemistry and is enthusiastic in class. Don't be scared off by her accent, it takes 1 or 2 classes and you'll understand her. VERY MUCH recommended. I love Manzar, my favorite prof of them all

At times it is difficicult to understand. And she does move really fast through the notes but she will answer your questions. And she will help you with your homework questions which you must do in order to do well in the class. Her exams are very fair and simple. You will do well in her class if you try

After attending a couple classes you don't even notice the accent. Manzar knows the material extremely well and going to class is mandatory for very good examples- most of which show up on her exams. Manzar finds ways to give you marks, not take them away like many other profs. I loved her, she obviously really cares for all her students.

Excellent Prof. Gives great examples in class. Tells you what practice questions to do. Provides practice exams. Very helpful, will even meet you outside of office hours. Exams are easy if you do the practice questions. Does not try to trick you on exams. Her accent was not a problem. She is the best Chem teacher I have had!

Manzar was good, she knows her stuff, hepful and a nice lady. I would recommend her to anyone.

One of the most helpful teachers you will ever meet! She really cares about her students and is willing to do anything to help them. Amazing in the lab as well. One of the best lab teachers i've ever had!!! :)

Wants her students to do the very best they can. Gives tons of helpful examples and a review before every test and the tests are exactly like the reviews. Great prof! Found it helpful to learn from the text book after her lectures though.

Does everything she can to help her students succeed! Often uses assigned practice questions from text or ones she's covered in class on exams. A very easy marker. Will bump up your grade if she feels you deserve it. Initially can seem hard to understand and confusing but she always clears things up in the end and has AWESOME review sessions!

Professor Manzar is difficult to understand at first, but once you've gotten used to it, she's a really good prof. She's very passionate about chemistry and wants her students to learn. She's really sweet, too. Definitely not as bad as some people say.

Very helpful instructor. Sometimes difficult to follow, but she emphasizes the points you need to know. Her practice sheets are VERY useful! Work through them and understand them and you will do great.

Manzar is the best ochem prof there is, if u get the chance to be in her section do it! Always more than willing to help!

She's a very good teacher! Slight accent but it isn't too bad. It just makes her so much cuter than she already is! She is so funny cute in an old lady way. You can tell she is very smart and knows what she is talking about. Her tests are long but she is a generous marker if you get on her good side

She's a really good teacher, read the textbook and do all the practice problems and you will be fine. I don't understand the comments which call her a tough grader though, she repeatedly marked generously on my exams. Awesome lady

Big beauty, Do the practice, and textbook you will be fine. Preread before lectures and you will do fine. She's not going to baby feed you information, you have to want to learn to get a good grade

Dr. Saberi is the best professor one can take for organic chemistry. On her midterms and finals, she used some of the practice examples that she had put up online at the beginning of the term. If you do those, you will be aces. Also, go to class! She does so many practice problems that it is impossible not to do well.

Dr. Manzar is an amazing and caring professor. She teaches you the material well if you are prepared ahead of time going into the lecture. Her practice exams are almost identical to the midterm and she tries to help each student succeed. Manzar genuinely cares for students success and that is a quality of the best teachers out there.

Absolutely fantastic. Always made time for extra help, fantastic lectures - Manzar has a way of making even the toughest concepts simple to grasp. Use the textbook, come to class prepared, and complete the suggested questions and you'll do fantastic. Exams are fair and Manzar is always eager to help. Course is tough though so put in the effort!

#1 prof. Kind, genuine, funny & brilliant. Completed 261 & 263 w/ Manzar & am sad to not be able to continue higher level O'Chem with her. It is a tough course & requires effort & hard work but she always ensures students are well prepared & is happy to help in office hours. She has inspired me& impacted my life immensely. I highly recommend her!

Manzar is a great professor! Her exams are very straightforward if you do her questions and the textbook questions. She was always helpful during office hours and was always eager to answer any questions. When I first went to her class I was scared due to all the bad ratings but she is very nice, if you study and do the questions the class is easy.

Manzar is amazing! I was petrified to take her class after seeing her reviews, but she is honestly one of the best profs I have ever had. Chem 263 is a heavy course, but if you show up, do her practice questions and all the questions she assigns from the textbook you are golden! She is always available outside of class and loves participation.

When I first read the online reviews, I was terrified to attend her class. She is completely different than the reviews and is so sweet. The course itself is HARD, but she tries her best and is very compassionate. She waved one of my midterm grades, and clearly cares about her students. BUT, expect to study 40 hours a week.

I heard bad things about Manzar and was worried, however I found her t be a great prof. She knows what she's doing and tries her very best to make sure we understand the matter as it can be very difficult. She is pretty accessible outside of class and her tests are fair. Also super cute and funny, makes lectures more bearable :)

After seeing the reviews on here I was definitely scared. But after being in her class she is the sweetest lady and quite funny! She throws little jokes in once in awhile. Yes she has an accent but you get used to it. Shes definitely willing to help you when you ask and explain it until you understand! I would take her again for sure.

Manzar's in class examples are very helpful and she tells you what you need to know for tests. Ask questions because it makes it easier for her to teach to what the class doesn't understand. Sometimes she goes on rants or tangents from her slides that don't make a ton of sense but the examples help.

Manzar is a very caring professor. She wants her students to do well and always asks how she can make the midterms better for us. Unless you are naturally good in o-chem you need to put in a lot of time and hard work to succeed. You need to read the text and do practice questions! She is a fast lecturer but thats needed to cover all material!

She doesn't teach very well in lecture so you must read the textbook and do practice questions. 3 midterms that were very easy and were all similar to her practice midterms. She's a sweet lady but can come off as rude sometimes. She marks hard on lab reports but will help you if you're confused

She gives you clear expectations of what to expect on your tests. All of the examples she uses in class are very similar to the ones she uses in exams. Genuinely wants all of her students to do well. Her accent can be hard to understand but you get used to it.

Honestly, I was super afraid to take Manzar's class after reading the reviews and knowing I struggle with chemistry. I found her classes to be lecture heavy but she wasn't a tough grader and the exams were straight forward. Just be sure to put in effort to study and do the practice exams/questions.

I had Manzar for 261/263. She really wants you to understand the material and will do tons of examples in class until she feels the class understands. She also usually has a review class before each midterm and the final where you can ask her any questions and go over the practice tests. She provides answers to all the examples on the slides

Manzar can be intimidating at first but she really wants people to succeed. Her questions are similar to her powerpoint examples. Her notes are exact to the textbook. She clearly outlines what you need to understand and what not and the types of questions. Her exams are shorter now, given you know what you're doing. This is o chem, put in effort!!

Such a good and caring prof, I don't understand why so many people dislike her. Her tests are similar to the practice exams, questions at the end of her slides and the textbook questions she assigns. She is accessible and very helpful if you go to see her outside of class. Manzar is the best!

I had Manzar for Chem 261/263 and I have never had a professor care more about me and how I do in her class. Attendance is not mandatory, but it goes a long way to participate. She's flexible with her exams and is quite forgiving if you show effort in her class. Tell her what you what you struggle with and she will actually make it easier on exams.

her notes are very straight forward and if you actually show up to class and listen, it is a very easy class. you have to study outside of the class because some concepts are harder than others. her exams are exactly like the practice exams and very straight forward.
