Nazia Kazi is the best professor I've ever had. She made me want to go to class at 8:30 am. Her lectures are amazing. Go to class, do the readings, participate, take notes, and you will succeed. Plus if everyone participates in class she cancels the final exam. There are reading quizzes every so often so make sure you keep up. Overall awesome.

I loved her class. Dr. Kazi is so funny. I took her for Race and Ethnicity, and I am taking her again for Race and Islam in the US. Great lectures. only mid term and final. If the whole class participates, she cancels the finals and gives a pizza party instead. DO TAKE HER!! Great experience in class.

Wouldn't take again

Kazi's mind is brilliant. If you don't want to hear about politics plus a lot of reading, then don't take her. I admire her ability to have one think about something that they normally wouldn't have thought of. Her class is not easy peasy, but it's not impossible to pass either. Stay on top of the readings and take good notes! You will learn a lot

First day a class, she goes. If you don't like reading, or pop quizzes drop this class. She first off doesn't have notes on board. She is very annoying and mean. If you miss class, its your fault. Don't take if you can't write notes down from her talking!

One of my favorite teachers. I have never been much of a reader but she assigns by far the best content. I feel so much smarter after having her and I suggest that everyone takes her. She has amazing lectures and all you have to do is take notes. Tests are on readings and class lecture. Put in the effort, and your grade will reflect!

I had Kazi during the spring and was terrified since she seemed super tough. However, this ended up being my favorite class. She reiterated a lot during her class that these are not her opinions, these are FACTS you can find with a simple google search. Her lectures are amazing and easy to take notes on if you pay attention. 100% would take again.

Professor Kazi is tough but fair. She'll expect you to read (but guaranteed you'll learn something from the readings), but I also learned that skimming the readings will be enough to get by for quizzes and exams. The tests are open notes anyway. She does NOT use power points and does NOT take attendance (but gives pop quizzes).

Overall she taught us many things that we wouldn't have known had it not been for her. She does expect you to complete the reading ahead of time because you will get quizzed on the beginning of class. The quizzes are easy just do readings. Some of the readings can be long or simple short articles. We were the 4th class to get an A in the final.

If you take this professor she is very biased on her own beliefs whether they are correct or not. hard to get ahold out of classroom. I had Lap access but she never acknowledged it. Lies about syllabus and work that needs to be done. stay away if you care about your grades. if a teacher shaves its in the syllabus in the back of there head.

Took Intro to ANTH with her over the summer. It was all online. Easy, easy class, plus pretty interesting. You watch some recordings every week and then take a quiz, open notes. The readings were very good. Not sure if these comments would also apply to an in person class or a not summer term so keep that in mind.

I took ANTH 2245 in the spring, and she was a phenomenal professor, but there were a lot of readings. I spent more time doing the readings and taking notes on them than my other 3 classes combined. She has 7 pop quizzes (later changed to 10), and each is just one open-ended question, but as long as you read, then it's easy. Two exams, very easy too

DO NOT TAKE NAZIA KAZI!!!!!!! She provides zero grading criteria and zero feedback on anything. Said that we wouldn't have a final exam and then gave us one anyways...along with a final GROUP project. Really rude and self important. Says things that are blatantly incorrect and then gets mad at you when you call her on it. Generally insufferable

Took her class for Into to Anthropology online. Class is pretty straightforward for the most part. Gives all the work ahead of time so you could potentially work ahead if you wanted. The only thing you need to wait for her to post is the quizzes which are just pictures of your notes from the lectures/readings. As an intro course, I recommend it.

She was one of my favorite professors. I didn't have any background on most of what she taught, but I learned a lot of interesting history that isn't taught in most high schools. It's an easy class if you do the readings. 5 or 6 pop quizzes, usually with 2 questions, but open notebook. Summarize readings in your notes! 2 papers, not long though.

DOES NOT PROVIDE FEEDBACK FOR ANYTHING! Had to email her to ask each time and it was inconvenient to everyone. Graded by 4 quizzes that she doesn't provide feedback on and takes points off for every minor thing. This semester 68+ readings, some up to 60 pages. Very difficult if you do not have up to 15hrs of free time in your schedule per week.

Lecture is done verbally, notes must be taken on paper, and you can't make up any quizzes you miss. The midterm and final were extremely easy and open-note, worst part was the amount of readings required. Recommend you find someone to partner up with for collecting notes.

There were only a few assignments, and all the quizzes and exams were open-note, which made things way less stressful. Just what you need to learn and succeed.

This class is horrible .For a 1000-level course, the workload is honestly next-level ridiculous. Every single week, you're loaded with 1–2 hours of video lectures, plus around 5–10 readings, and then another 5–10 videos, but the note grading is the absolute worst — she harshly grades your handwritten notes like your personal note style is wrong.

class is easy bc all you do is read, watch vids, and take notes. It can be a bit too much to do every week, but putting time in its doable. She can be pretty strict on note taking styles and will deduct points off. She will ask to purchase the book, but, its no use. We've only used it once and it was just for a split sec- not worth buying.

Kazi is the best prof I've ever had. She may seem strict because she doesn't allow phones or laptops, but she just wants you to learn. Class is lecture based with pop quizzes on readings with 2 exams. Ngl there's a lot of reading but it's manageable, as long as you read and pay attention in class you'll be fine.
