She is the most evil teacher i have ever had, and she expects way to much from you.
When asked to explain how to do a case study, she was not helpful.
ekkk!!!
Verrry difficult. She expects a lot & is not very clear. Sometimes singles you out if you don't know your stuff.

my only C also! verry strict about projects that are unclear, and weekly quizes are unforgiving
Very hard grader, unless u study very well and are very outspoken in class, she will give u a low grade. First D+ in my life! GRRR , talks too much about her past days as a buyer...20 YEARS AGO! get over it already.
HARDEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!! she said herself that she does not give out perfect scores. I would not take her, so avoid at all costs.
Best teacher I have ever had
doesnt teach very good just talks about her days at nordtroms and doesnt help you understand a thing she is talking about, then when you ask her what she wrote on your paper, she herself cant even read it! yeah now how is that suppossed to help us??
Lectures alot but always talks about her being a buyer at Nordstroms....quizes are hard....papers are hard.....class is always distrupted by her many tangents
took an elearning organizational business class. yes, i do agree that she isn't the most easiest grader, but getting A's doesn't always mean you learned something. i found her to be a very understanding, who was easy to communicate whenever i had a problem with the material. she'll respond back quickly. take the initative and you'll do fine.
This is one of those teachers who knows her stuff, but doesn't know how to bring it down to the student's level. You can tell she's smart, but isn't patient if you want her to re-explain something--seems to get annoyed with slower students. Hard grader.
To difficult. I understand that she expects a lot out of students, but she is extremly demanding and not really thorough when she gives lectures. If one is to suceed in this class, one must not have a hectic schedule.
had her for merch. strategies. Dont take her! she grades way too hard. she says that its realistic, but it isnt. and she writes a bunch of stuff on your paper and she cant even tell you what it says. she is a nice person, but as a teacher she is way too harsh and doesnt give us enough inormation to do the assignments correctly.
I had her for Social Pyschology. This was the worst teacher I ever had in my life. She was such a horrible mean grader that I went home crying everyday after class. She made me want to kill myself all quarter.

I strongly disagree with most of the students who say she is unclear and unfair. I agree she is tough- but for those students who have done college before and come to FIDM, will find thier money's worth by takking Misha as thier teacher. She almost teaches on a much higher academic level than most teachers. Grades are important but so is education.
If you have never had college before i dont recomend her. She expects you to learn. I found her very helpful. If you are expecting an easy 'A' this is not the class for you. This is a class for those who are really serious about their career!
I ended up staying in this class for only 3 weeks. She talks most of the time until all the info goes in one ear and out the other. More than 50 % of the class dropped and the others had C's and D's couple weeks before the quarter ended. I felt encouraged to change my major by her but I re-took this class with another professor and doing way bette
Those of you who do not like Misha are just lazy. Yes, she talks A LOT and never lets class out early. But she is clear with her info, does not give exams, and is more than willing to help students with ANY questions. Scantron tests every class sucks, but it is just definitions straight from the book. She is VERY easy to do well with.-Brittany
do NOT take her. i am not one of the "lazy" students and i have worked my butt off and am barely getting by and i have gotten straight A's here at FIDM..enough said
Mischa is not one of the easiest teachers at FIDM and she expects a lot from students, but you'll find that taking her classes makes your lerning experience more meaningful. You all can do great when you ask questions when you don't understand.
If you want a teacher who is actually going to teach you something and challenge you, misha is awesome. she is not one of those teachers who gives you an easy a. you have to earn it. if you wanted to just fly by with an easy a.. you shouldn't be at this school. misha is great, she's so nice and funny. i would know, i've taken her every quarter.
DO NOT TAKE CLASS FROM HER. She reads these boards and gets a kick out of bad comments, but that shows what kind of a teacher she is. She prides herself in the fact that "NOBODY EVER GETS AN 'A' IN MY CLASS"...she doesn't want to help her students to succeed! She is a very strict grader and doesn't care if you fail. She makes more $$$$ that way.
she is hard and very rude!! the only reason why she still works at fidm is because none will teach psych..im in the ba program wish i didnt have to deal with her but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger dont take anything she says personally she is just a very unhappy miserable rude person
This woman is so full of herself. Do not ask her a questions unless you want HER andswer. You don't want to disagree. take her class onlly if you have a thick skin. Whe will rip you apart w/ her. She picks on certain students and favors others. Yes she is intellegent but clearly does not know how to teach. She thinks way too much of herself and he
This lady has a clear advantage...she loves to hear herself talk..espically about Nordstrom. If she was so happy in that position, why did she leave? I know people who worked w/her and found her caustic and vindictive..nice resume for a prof & someone to infulence students. she needs to go away.
Tell me why she teaches phyc classes? she could use therapy herself. I asked questions on a theory. You would have thought I insulted her . I have read inperfection comments others have written & thought them too kind. She shows favortism to some & is rude to others.. I'd say She has a problem. Higher ups should audit her classes unannounced!
yKES.....SHE IS A NICE PERSON BUT HAS NO IDEA HOW TO GET HER POINT ACROSS. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I ENJOYED HER CLASS BUT CAN NOT. SHE HAS A PERSONAL PROBLEM LETTING GO OF HER PAST LIFE..I THINK SHE BRINGS THIS INTO HER TEACHING AND IT REEKS HAVOC ON THE SKILS SHE IS TRYING TO TEACH. HER RAMBELINGS I AGREE WITH THE OTHER STUDENT SHE IS A LITTLE EVIL
she always talked about Nordstrom!!!!! i mean all the time and she favored certain girls.....we started the class with 30 and we ended with 10 and a few failed..so i seriously think that only 4 or 5 people passed!!!
I took her class online, she leaves rude comments that are completely unnecessary and is unclear about what she wants from you. Even online you can tell that she is not a good teacher! I have hear only bad things about her.
she made about half the class drop in the first week. dont get on her bad side! she makes you hate learning and make you feel horrible if you answer a question wrong. DONT TAKE HER!!
She is not a good teacher. It has been said over and over. I had to take this class and unfortunately with her. She doesn't know how to teach.The tutors teach better and state that you don't even need to know more than half the stuff. She's not interested in helping like a teacher should. NOT A GOOD TEACHER! You'll pass if you're cute and skinny...
Honestly, not that bad. The quizzes you study off the powerpoint and she tells you what to read in the book. I've only had her for BUAD 2000 and I heard it's not her worst class. I got a good grade but I studied. I didn't feel that she had any favortism, but I mean, don't just sit there and stare at her looking disinterested.
She ROCKS if you pay attention and if you TRY in her class it's not hard. She's blunt but I find it mostly funny, not offensive. Great quiz method-- she checks the quiz answers and if you get it wrong, she'll give you another chance to try and get it right before she marks it wrong! AWESOME.
I had her for Math as well. She does everything she can to help you succeed if you let her; if you aren't motivated she feels no need to waste her time helping you. Her backgound is at a UNIVERSITY where yes, it is harder than FIDM. Expect the coursework to be challenging and expect to work your ass off for an A. But she makes you use your brain an
I LOVE her! She's down to earth and sweet. She doesn't just teach what's in the book but she also makes a point to tell you how it is in the real world, like how to negotiate and what things she used when she was a buyer. If you're failing then it's probably because you're not comfortable with math, so get a tutor. And p.s. I'm fat :)
of course its been said before. she is unclear about what she wants when you ask her about a paper. she doesn't teach well and i will never take another class with her again. especially after the rude emails she sent back to me.
Go to class if you're bad at math like me. And keep your handouts cuz she test directly from those. And she asks other students to help the ones who don't get it so it's easier to learn from your peers. I don't think she's biased or anything. Just show up and work hard, she'll notice ur effort.
I have to disagree with some of the comments that say she is biased and what not. im not cute nor skinny and i still passed the class. She has a great quizzing method and is clear in her lectures and answers all your questions. i took her for Merchandise Math. So attend all classes and dont be afraid to ask for her help.
i am a hard worker and honor roll student and i hate her. shes rude, plays favorites, talks incessantly about Nordstrom. No body cares. She says mean things to students, she doesnt answer your questions. She sucks. Go back to Nordstrom.
I LOVED her class. She is the nicest teacher I've had so far. She goes the extra mile to help you, just ask. Do not miss class and you're going to do well. Easy A if you do your homework and go to class.
On of my favorite teachers at FIDM! now that I've worked 4 years in the industry, I use what she taught me more than anything else. Yes, her classes are HARD. I had 3 and I got 2 Bs and an A- (my lowest grades at FIDM. However, I also felt the greatest sense of accomplishment afterward. Learn her style for the quizzes and they aren't too bad.
Do NOT take her!!!! She's rude, totally unclear when she teaches and still says negative comments about how none of us are going to get far in the industry because of how bad the economical situation is. Thanks for the support Misha!
she doesn't know how to teach!!! don't take her!!
This teacher is by far the worst Math instructor that I have ever had. She does not explain the material, she collects the homework before going over it, and she will not return tests to you so that you can learn from your mistakes.
Shes fantastic. If you pay attention and listen to what she has to say, you'll get an A. Else its your fault. Don't know why there are so many negative comments. Take her.
HORRIBLE TEACHER. Rude woman and flirts with the girls who don't do their work but find them more amusing then those who want to learn. She's disgusting. Do not take her if you really want to learn from a good teacher because that is not what she is. Waste of time.
She arrives late to class.Complained about A/C for 10 mins.Roll and her setup(15 mins)Wkly Quiz(45mins).THREE EXAMPLES "taught" on board is supposed to teach me an entire 30pg. section of the text book?Sheshould not teach math ever again.Waste of my time&money!Homework assignment 30+problems each week and we are expected to learn from 3 examples??
when you teach you should inspire. she does not do this. she rambles, is unclear asking for assistanace is usless. i am an other student & was shocked at her style of teaching and that she is still employed as one. I felt sorry for the younger students staring out. she very full of herself & has little respect for others.
I wanted to continue my comment...i wanted also to say i took a few years ago & id not know i could comment.i wish i could have done so before so others could be warned. she affect many negatively. How sad. wish i could have expressed myself sooner. wake up admin & get rid of this teacher.
She is very difficult... I took merch math from her my first quarter. I had to go to tuturing three times a week and work a lot on my own just studying. But I ask whats wrong with that? Some find her negative and discouraging. I think most student who feel that way have never had a problem with school and aren't used to being told they are wrong.
This professor is awful. She wastes time at the beginning of class an then is upset and condesending if you struggle to finish an exam or quiz on time. I am a top student in my major @ FIDM and I have a bachelors degree from a previous university... I have NEVER had such a horrible experience with a professor in my life. Steer clear she's a witch.
I loved Misha! The concepts of the class are pretty difficult to grasp and she is a little difficult to comprehend sometimes but if you put forth the effort, she notices and helps those who genuinely want help. I learned A LOT in this class and got an 100% on the final because of some intense studying and Misha's help.
If you have questions, do not expect to get an answer, as she cannot teach to save her life. im awesome at math but just seeing the looks on my classmates faces is enough for me to not like her. she is rude and condescending. ill pass with an A, but i walked out of her class last week because i could not stand her attitude!!!!
I had to work extremely hard in this class but it was absolutely worth it. If you allow yourself to keep an open mind about her classes they are very rewarding. I learned a lot, especially how the information learned can be applied to real world practices. Hard but not impossible.
Misha is a wonderful instructor. I had her for MRCH 1700. The content is extremely easy and the textbook was only needed for homework assignments. Lectures were very easy to follow and Misha is eager to help anyone who may be struggling in the class. I would recommend her to anyone.
Behbehbani is rude and condescending. I would not recommend her as an instructor.
This was a difficult class...tons of research, which I don't like, but Misha was very helpful. She will work with you to help you understand what you need to do. Don't get discouraged!
I'm terrible at math, I failed Algebra in HS. Don't think about the teacher, think about the course itself because no matter who you take it with at FIDM, its the same quizzes/exams. If you pay attention, you'll see she is pretty easy. Also, she gives you a chance to fix your answers on the quizzes by looking over them and letting you correct them.
she is the WORST TEACHER EVER! i attended private school so i am capable of the work load, but the way she speaks not only in the lecture but to the students is so annoying.she wastes time talking about non sense i had her class at 6pm and there were so many people who had to take the train back to OC or wherever and shed keep us till 9:30! really?
I would recommend this teacher! I am not very good at math and do not always understand the lecture but she has office hours and is always very helpful if you need additional help outside of class. You have to want to do well but if she sees effort she is very nice.
This teacher is no help at all. She is hard to listen to/understand. Writes you off by how you look and refuses to help. She doesn't remember which student sent emails to her. Save yourself the trouble and don't take her.
I have struggled with math forever. I graduated from UC Irvine and math was a sad story there, too. Misha is the ONLY professor who has EVER made math clear to me. I don't know why there are these negative comments, because she's clear, patient, and one of the best professors I've ever had.
if you actually pay attention and do the work its OKAYYYYY...... but if you need help SHES REALLY NICE AND WILL HELP YOU. depends how badly you want that A or B but i promise you if you actually commit to going to the study hours she has in the library and asking a lot of questions youl do fine... I'm really not that good at math either..
Behbehani is not a good teacher at all. You cannot understand her, she favorites the smarter students who understand the material. She called me out in front of the class because I was sick and asked if I could leave early after my quiz. Asked her for help on a problem and she ignores me, but went to help others. Would NOT recommend this teacher!
I like her very much and she truly wants her students to succeed. She is not warm and fuzzy, but is fair and cares for us very much. She teaches out of the love of it.
I like her very much and she truly wants her students to succeed.
Do assignments every class and you'll be set for tests.
A lot of students take Misha for granted because they judge her off the tremendous amount of work she gives. Trust me, she only provides it so that we truly understand the curriculum. She's awesome at making formulas, and lectures easier and more understandable. So don't be fooled by all the work she gives, it only makes midterms and finals EASIER!
Terrible Teacher. She claims to care about getting you good grades, but won't tell you what you've done to get the wrong answer. Avoid her classes if you can, and if not, Good Luck! Team up with someone good at math as she won't always catch wrong answers. Also she does explain anything well and her voice is annoying.
Amazing teacher! Not sure why other students are complaining. She thoroughly explains every math concept and offers opportunities for you to correct your scores if you make a mistake on the quiz. There is also extra credit homework because she wants everyone to succeed. She will explain real-world applications of what we are learning math-wise.
Do not take her! The material is not hard but she is horrible at teaching others. Quiz every week, Books not needed. She takes off a lot of points. She does not understand what you say. You can ask a question 3 times and she will give you 3 different answers. Get anything she says in writing because later she will not remember she said it.
Math was a huge reason it took me so long to go back to school. I was so intimidated by math. I always thought I was bad at math but after taking Misha's class I realized I just always had bad teachers. Misha told us straight out that we lost our confidence and we need to get it back because you can do it. Adds positivity to the classroom.
Math is not easy. You have to do the work. Misha is an excellent teacher. Yes there is a quiz every week but that's math. You have to do the work. She gives you a chance to correct what you've missed before you turn in your quiz and give lots of extra credit. She wants students to do well. Yes it's hard and it's work. It's not supposed to be easy.
She makes math easy! Yeah there are quizzes and hw but those are to help you learn the material. I would highly recommend her!
Okay so I took Misha a while back and since it isnt a pre-req I have been avoiding her at all cost, i haven't took it for the past 3 quarters because shes the only one teaching it, the work is super intense and she seems bothered when you ask her questions, also about like me & 8 other students had a D by the 5th week of class so we had to drop .
Worst teacher I have ever taken for math. Does not care about you or helping you. Goes way to fast and barley even teachers. I asked her for help and she told me no and that I need to figure it out on my own. Avoid taking her at all cost. If you struggle with math I suggest not taking her.
Teaches way too fast and doesn't stop to help you! Says she'll review things and when you ask her a specific question, she states it's "unimportant". Very rude! You have to ask her anything 3 times or more before she understands what you're saying. She means well, she just needs to change her teaching mindset!
Worst teacher I have taken. She does not care about you learning and understanding the material at all. She teaches way to fast and once I asked her for help she told me to "figure it out on my own". Even when I go in for help, She's no help. Avoid taking her at all costs.
Let me just start of by saying that no matter if you go into her not so worth your time study sessions u still won't pass. She times quizes one thing wrong, all wrong. She blows up and says figure it out when u ask a question. Everyone i've met fears her. She doesn't teach. I feel like she gets pleasure calling u out in front of the class rudely.
She is by far the WORST teacher I've ever had. She absolutely does NOT know how to explain the material, and gets ANGRY and makes people cry in class when they ask questions. She is an awful person. STAY AWAY!!!!
I haver never in my life come across such a person. She made me cry in front of the whole class. I have never been through so much pain in my life and cried everyday of this class, I would drop out of FIDM if I had to take her class again. I am not good at math but she made me feel even worse, I would not recommend ever taking this class.
I am an international student, I came here to study, do well and be happy, as FIDM is a wonderful place. But I have never felt so sad and bullied by a teacher in Fidm, I feel homesick and I have been so demotivated and mentally torched in this class. she take pleasure out of not giving grades.
Overall, she is not bad at her job. The lectures are very slow paced and most of what she says feels like time filler. At the end of the day, it's a math class and there's a lot of formulas to remember. Her methods are direct and easy to understand but when someone needs help, she doesn't clarify anything
I have never dealt with a more incompetent person in my entire life. I am a straight A student, shooting for valedictorian of my class, and due to this disaster of a teacher I received my first B. Her grading doesnt make any sense, she doesnt understand canvas, and your midterm/final decide your final grade. Shes a disaster and I am reporting it
Best teach I had during my first semester! She has a lot of energy. Very knowledgeable and makes classes easy to understand.
The work in this class isn't even difficult, but she makes it so much more confusing than it has to be. The class is simply memorizing formulas, but she doesn't properly explain relevance and context. She's messy, unreasonable, and has a soulless presence. Her lectures are fast and she did not adhere to class time standards at all.
The class is about understanding formulas. Great things about her is that she really knows what she is doing. She wants students to learn and succeed. She helped me so much. Quizzes are timed. If I could change one thing about the class it would be a little more time on the weekly quiz.
I met with Ms. Behbehani every single week on during her office hours and asked her many questions on the homework and quizzes. This class is very challenging, but she does a great job at explaining your mistakes. She cares about her students. Quizzes are timed but you get multiple attempts. Put in the work, meet with her, and you will pass!
