She is smkin' hot. Mostly she is liberal and brilliant. makes the class fun and interesting. Great class. Great teacher. Her last name used to be Rafii. She is divroced now and went back to her maiden name.

If you're planning on taking Poli Sci, Professor Shekarabi is the ONLY teacher to take. She makes class interesting and fun. Her tests are pretty easy, and we didn't have any homework over the summer. Also, she's a big liberal, but she still respects everyone's opinion. AWESOME class. Take really good notes, and you're golden.

Brillaint, compassionate, and hot!!!! Well dressed and professional. Helpful to studetns. Respects everyone's views. Great sense of humor.

Professor Shekarabi is a very intelligent and fun woman. She really knows a lot and class discussions are always fun. Take good notes and go to class and you'll do fine. I would take her again. She is pretty funny also...

Exams are easy EXCEPT the Final~!!! On Final you have to study for 7 chapters, and it has over 120 Vocabs to study for, not to mention she missed so many class she didn't cover anything on the final in class. ALso Final is 20% of grade and has 60Question, which means you better memorize all the vocab. Her class was easy until the Final.

An excellent teacher, funny, informative, and well spoken. She often encourages class input which helps you get involved with the subjects. Liberal, however as long as you approach her class with an open mind youll find it enjoyable, and this is comming from an arch conservative. Highly reccomended.

She is Awesome! just take good notes and you'll pass. you probably wont even need the text book. She really knows her stuff and brings up good points. test are not very hard. If you need help just ask, really easy to approach. shes hot too!

She is very knowledgeable about the subject. The material is very easy to understand and her lectures are very helpful

I TOOK HER SUMMER CLASS 2006 AND I GOT B. I THINK THIS CLASS IS FAIR EASY ESPICALLY FOR OUR ESL STUDENTS. I PERSONALLY RECOMMEND IT.

She is well-informed, she knows what she is talkin about, just listen to her and take notes she is on point. On top of everything she is CUTE. I would take her again.

Nooshan was a good professor. Class is extremely easy and interesting. If you need a GPA boost take this class, show up, study lecture notes, don't even need the book other than for the vocab on the final. I took the final early so I'm done now. I recommend her.

very knowledgable teacher, she makes the class fun, and always lets you out early. take good notes and you should be fine.

She is very easy and understanding. Homework is rare. just memorize and understand the notes.

She is a very understanding and sincere professor. She is also very knowledgeable regarding the subject matter, and her passion for teaching is evident. I loved her class and I suggest taking any of her courses, she is wonderful!

She is a hottie. Besides teaching Political Science she is fun to watch. Awesome Prof!!!

Noonan is a great teacher, very understanding and approachable. She gives points for class participation and extra credit points. The class was interesting and informative. She is very liberal but I highly enjoyed her class. Study for mid term and final and you'll do great.

Great teacher! Going into this class I would of thought that my conservative views would of been shot down, i was wronge, she is not bias at all and she takes ALL views into consideration...this is what all profs need to learn to do. Study all class notes = passing grade!!

She's great. Her liberal views of course shine through, but they're part of who she is so I should hope so. Not extremely biased, willing to listen to what you have to say and banter with you a bit. Boils down all info to the nuts and bolts. Teaches her tests. Come to class learn the info, and you won't even need the book. She wrote it after all.

i absolutely LOVED her class. she is VERY knowledgeable and passionate. she's funny and interesting. make sure to take good notes on EVERYTHING she says. i'd recommend her to anyone interested in political science.

She was a great teacher. Really gets you into the material. She's really outspoken and I loved it. Shes funny and incredibly attractive. She knows her stuff and you definitely finish her class wiser than when you started it. I recommend her!

she is pretty damn hot..! and a great prof. she is very wise and knowledgeable about her class. Very smart and knows what she is talking about. Her tests are easy but you have to study of course. she gives you everything you need to know on tests. makes a lot of jokes at pres bush. Great prof i strongly recommend her

Professor Nooshan is one of the most passionate instructors that I have ever had she made class fun as well as very interesting.The class is fairly easy if you pay attention and take really good notes.

I can say without a doubt that she helped shape my direction. I am a Political Science major no longer at SCC and it is because of her that I am here. Thanks Nooshan

She is a very helpful professor. Her class isn't difficult as long as you try at least a little bit. Overall I enjoyed it a lot.

I have already rated Nooshan before, but I feel like I must reiterate how amazing she is at what she does. She's intelligent, but approachable and most of all she is passionate. She loves her job and it shows. It is because of her that I am considering minoring in political science. Hands down, best professor I've had at scc.

Shekarabi's teaching style is my favorite. She lectures, then tests you. No papers, no projects, no fluff. She gives you everything you need to know for tests. You have to show up for class though! She is liberal, but shows no bias in her teaching. I have a more open mind after taking her class. I wish all professors could teach the way she does!

great teacher. teaches out of her own book so she follows it very closely. easy to understand and almost no homework. ACE

HIGHLY recommend her! I took her 8 week class and I got an A. She's very sweet and welcomes all questions no matter what they are. I had no interest in political science and knew not one single thing about it and I ended up really enjoying this class. She is the best professor I have had at SCC. She says you need the book but you definitely don't!

She has an amazing personality. Her intelligence matches her assets if you know what i mean. Also shes really hot. Definitely take her if you want to watch beauty incarnate. Also tests are easy.

It was a hard class but I manage. It was so hard to pay attention because I was distracted by her dreamy eyes :/

She is by far my favorite teacher I have had at SCC. She is very helpful and it shows that she loves what she does.

She is an amazing teacher! She loves what she teaches and what she does. I liked that there were no random projects to worry about, your told what you need to know then you take the test. The only problem I had with her was that she talks pretty fast and gets off topic at times...

I've never written one of these for any teacher but I had to for Shekarabi. She is a great teacher. Probably my favorite at SCC. She makes things easy to understand and is very helpful. Take good notes and go over the book before tests and you'll have no problem. She not bad to look at either!

Enthusiastic and caring. She is brilliant and knows her stuff. Makes you think and care about the world around us. Freakin' hot!!! How is she single?

Enthusiastic and caring. She is brilliant and knows her stuff. Makes you think and care about the world around us. Freakin' hot!!!

Enthusiastic and caring. She is brilliant and knows her stuff. Makes you think and care about the world around us. A beautoful woman on the outside and the inside.

Tough class but she takes her time to explain things. Does not take any crap from anyone. Absolutely brilliant and it does not hurt that she is drop dead gorgeous. Love her and recommend her classes.

Great teacher. Took Comparative Politics last semester and IR this semester. Good sense of humor.

BEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER TAKE IN YOUR LIFE! Seriously this subject is the most boring thing you will learn about but the way she teaches it makes you care about what the government is doing and about politics. Dont buy the book just take good notes. She always wears these belts to. Anywho great professor!

A great professor who does not take crap from any student. Expects you to act like an adult. Love her. She is brilliant and inspiring!

Smart, caring, progressive, and not to mention drop-dead gorgeous! Love her!

had her for PS 101 and now for 201.she is by far the best professor i have had at scc. extremely knowledgeable, personable, compassionate, strong, and attractive. everything is straight-forward in the class and you never have to guess about surprises. highly recommend her even if you are not interested in politics, a great teacher and better person

Fantastic! She loves her job and knows her discipline very well. Open-minded and caring.

A true human being. A caring but tough professor. Learned so much about politics and life! Kind and beautiful too!

She is very knowledgable and well spoken. She is very respectful and overall a good teacher. She doesn't call on anyone at random which is a good thing in my book! Very sweet and a good teacher.

Such a good professor! She comes off as very conservative, but she has to be one of the most liberal people I know. About 4 tests with essay for each. Notes are a majority of it; textbook helps to reinforce her lecture. She talks very fast, so pay good attention and take good notes. I suggest bringing a laptop to get everything down faster.

An amazing educator and beautiful person inside and out. Definitely a liberal, but is very respectful of everyone's opinion. Exams all have an essay questions, and last exam is all essay. I couldn't afford the textbook and made it through the class just fine on her notes and lecture. She is also the dean of Poli Sci now, so obviously she's awesome!

This professor is the most amazing professor I have ever had. Her lectures will change lives. She is always very willing to help with any concerns that you have. She should be teaching at a prestigious university so take the opportunity to be in her class at santiago.

Took the 4 week summer course. Quiz every week. Only used the book to study vocab from chapter summaries. No homework. She's a great teacher for an opinionated subject. She does a good job of trying to stay with neutral coverage, but over time you can see her liberal views come out.

Very intersting class. I could not care less for politics until I took this class and had it not been for this class I wouldn't have voted.

Great teacher! Class wasnt very great she doesnt go over material to much so you have to read. The book sucks. I highly recommend her for poly sci majors! She will cover alot current issues and relate them to the material. She is very passionate about teaching and makes 3 hours go by fast.

Professor Shekarabi is one of the most kind, cooperative, and genuine woman I've ever had as a professor. She is obviously extremely liberal, but does not discredit anybody who shares conservative views. She is always there to answer questions, emails back promptly, and is very understanding. I always looked forward to her class

This class is very approachable as long as you attend all of her lectures and read the ENTIRE book. No homework and there are exams every few weeks which cover three chapters and contain one essay question. Always take notes and actively listen. Rarely any pop quizzes. Overall, a very kind teacher who really knows what she is talking about.

I've had Prof Shekarabi twice while in Santiago Canyon College for POSC 201 & POSC 220. She's an amazing professor that will help you if you actually try on her exams and show up for class. I've gotten A's in both classes. Her classes require a lot of reading from the textbook and her lectures are worthwhile. Take her class!

She's a very good teacher. She's clear with the notes and very helpful. The tests are multiple choice with an essay. Try to get this teacher.

Excellent professor. Took her f or American Government(Political Science 101 at SCC) and got an A. All the tests are extremely straightforward, they are taken from the notes and the chapters in the book. I skimmed the chapters and reviewed my notes before the exam and got an A. Super easy course, great professor. Highly recommend.

Ms. Shekarabi is an awesome teacher. He clearly understands what she is talking about during her lecture. She makes everyone feel welcome to voice their opinion. Make sure you buy the book and read it if you want an A in the class!

Such a wonderful professor !! Not only is she clear on what she lectures but she outlines what to study. She has been the best professor I've ever had and she is so nice and understanding. Just make sure you read the chapters , what you give is what you get as a grade in this class.

A lot of work. I took the online 4 week class it had 4 chapters a week with the exception of the last which was 5 chapters. Tests are timed online and range from 50 to 60 questions. Do not buy the book or waste your time with the Powerpoints she claims to work on so hard for the students. They were clearly made by the publisher of the book.

She is smart and a fair professor there is no doubting that, but her political bias is obvious. In my mind a professor should try to remain as neutral as possible, especially a political science professor. So If you don't mind hearing her personal beliefs and opinions every class day, then this class should be fine for you.

Professor Shekarabi is truly a great professor. Her lectures are clear, informing, and eloquent. She has a vast amount of expertise on the subject. 5 exams( essay attached to each exam) and one group project. The book is necessary if you want to pass her class. I highly recommend this class.

Professor Shekarabi is an excellent teacher. She knows her stuff and is ready to answer any questions that you have. Did not expect to have a presentation when I signed up for the class. but it wasn't too tough, 2-4 people in a group and she does not grade you on how well you present. Tests were pretty easy.

Shekarabi is a great professor. The lectures are long and she gives a lot of information,but the class is still fun. As long as you take lots of notes and study tests you should pass. I have taken two classes with her, and passed both with A's, even though I am an Art Major, not PoliSci. I would recommend her to anyone with any in the topic.

Easy A!

Love her!!!!!!!

I adore her! Those who do not like her, either failed her class or were intimidated by her. She is not interested in being popular or liked. She is interested in being respected and most importantly wants the students to learn and think critically.

This was a great class, I can't wait to take another one of her Political Science classes.

Study hard for tests.... You need your textbook . She's a wonderful professor and extremely clear. Study and you should do fine.

Awesome professor!

Professor Shekarabi is the best! She is so clear in her lectures and they're so interesting! There is a group presentation at the end of the semester but she makes sure NO ONE is disrespecting students when presenting. Her exams are like the study guide! Take her course and you will pass if you put in the effort. It's not hard I promise!

Took this online for intersession. The class was just 17 chapter exams. No discussion, no essay, nothing else. She seemed irritated that she needed to explain things beyond what was outlined in the syllabus. Even her notes were made by the publisher. She made no effort to improve the learning experience of the class. Easy class, crappy teacher

Best teacher I've ever had, would definitely take her class again! She doesn't assign HW, your grade is tests and the group project (which is actually really interesting, everyone enjoyed doing it). The tests are extremely easy, all you need is good notes and you should easily get an A. I recommend sharing a book because you rarely use it (once).

Shekarabi is an amazing instructor. You'll learn a lot at her lectures. She explains everything clearly and answers all the questions. She is really helpful if you have any problem with class or exams. Chapters are long but if you take good notes at her lectures you'll do great. There are essay questions on exams, try to be specific and in details.

Took this course online during an 8 week intersession. Very structured - easy to understand when exams and reading are due. There were only chapter exams, no other assignments. Perfect class for an intersession if you function well on structure and online courses. Would even be a good online class for someone who has never taken online before.

No homework which was really nice! she is very opinionated when it comes to politics but never once did I feel like she was trying to change my political views even though mine are different than hers. lectures are a good length and class participation it easy to get credit for.

Great teacher. A regular class day consists of going through powerpoint slides, writing activity, or sometimes watching videos. There is no real homework. For the tests, I would recommend going over powerpoints thoroughly and reading and rereading the textbook for specific details. Your grade reflects the amount of work you put in.

Shekarabi's class consists of mostly lectures & note taking. Get someones number so you can get the notes if you're absent because they're not online! She's very clear she's a liberal but doesn't disrespect conservatives in any way. Your grade is based off of 4 tests & attendance so dont skip because she'll let your class out early almost every day

Professor Shekrabi was an awesome professor!! Took her for online and as long as you did all the homework you will do great!! :)

Prof. Shekarabi isn't a bad professor. She lectures every class but doesn't give homework. She pleads with her students to read the textbook but I read the book for the first test and I got a C on it. I never read the book again and for all the remaining tests I got an A. Never miss a class though if you decide not to read the book.

Took Professor Shekrabi over her 8 week course online class and she was awesome!! totally reccomend her!! :)

Shekarabi is an amazing professor! She's caring, informative, and willing to help you do your best. The book is mandatory, the exams are about half on the book and half on the notes in class. She gives in class assignments on videos, lectures over slides and assigns almost no homework. She's really cool, we had good class discussions on the topics.

I took the IR class in spring. Shekarabi has great lectures and class discussions, and doesn't make you do homework. Your homework is reading the book and reviewing notes, as the IR class was graded off 4 tests and a final. Class was interesting and not too challenging. It is not an easy A, but you should pass as long as you show up and read

Took the 4 week online class over summer. No HW or quizzes. 17 tests over 17 chapters (3-5 ch./week). Extremely easy. Answers to text questions are on quizlet. No need to buy the book. The tests are posted on Thurs morning and closed on Sun nights at 6pm, so plenty of time to finish the exams

I think Professor Shekarabi is an extremely smart and down to earth person. She cares about her students and their success. She is funny and caring. Considering all of the discrimination that she suffers through being a woman of color, liberal, and Middle Eastern, she handles it with grace and tact. She is wonderful!

took her this last semester and I absolutely loved her! She is very knowledgable with politics and explains everything clearly. she's also super sweet. Just 1 tip would be to take as much notes as you can during her lectures, and READ THE BOOK before taking her tests. The tests are overall easy as long as you read and look over your notes.

She knows her stuff! Just pay attention and youll pass. No homework but some class work and test. She's great. Real passion for politics

Professor Shekarabi is a great proffessor. Shes one of the most intellectual professors at SCC and knows her material inside and out. Class composed of 4 tests, each one weighted more than the other, based of text book readings and in class notes. Only problem is that it is the most liberal class tht Ive taken at Scc, but she means well.

Shekarabi is a great teacher who made a night class very enjoyable. This class is not easy, and you must study in order to get a good grade. She does give a 100 points for attendance, though, so go to every single class to get those easy points.

She is very informative and you can tell that she is passionate about what she teaches. Her exams are NOT cumulative. Show up to class, take the notes and study your notes. Attendance is "mandatory" but if you email her for her powerpoint, she's more than accommodating.

Prof. S. is a very caring & passionate teacher. She does everything in her power to make her students as successful as possible. Class consists of lectures, few in class responses, & 4 tests. If you take good notes/read the info she went over in the book, you'll do fine. Buy book from BVT publishing online to save $ & have helpful study materials.

Take this professor online! I took her spring intersession 4 week course, Only 17 tests and all the answers are online in quizlet! Couple of discussion boards, she tells you to purchase a textbook, but save your money! Not worth getting it cause all the answers to the 17 tests are online. You won't regret it!

Didn't have any projects/papers, as long as you pay attention to her lectures and really read the book it'll be easy to pass1

A super easy teacher took her 8-week class online and there where no projects/papers which was great.

One of my favorite teachers I've ever had.

Her online class was very repetitive so it was easy to complete. All you had to do was catch up on your reading and take a test at the end of the week.

Professor Shekarabi was a great professor and I really enjoyed her class. Her lectures are very helpful and insightful. Make sure to get the book for the exams, it will be helpful.

Professor Shekarabi was a great professor and I really enjoyed her class. Her lectures are very helpful, organized and insightful.

This Professor is awesome! I took her for Fall 2020. She is an amazing grader and is great at responding to emails. Remember to review your exams and follow her directions on exams. Be patient and empathetic with her and you will have no problem passing the class.

Professor Shekarabi is a great instructor. I took her class online for Fall 2020. Her class consisted of weekly discussion forums. 4 tests as well, each being answered in a word document, paragraphs about the power points and book that is assigned. Be sure to read the book to score a very high grade! Very caring professor and a very fair grader!

Professor Shekarabi was amazing!! I've never had a professor that willingly communicated with her students so much. She was super nice and gave motivational messages and updates throughout the week and really wants you to succeed. The class itself wasn't hard either, just essay exams about the chapters. Definitely one of the best prof I've had

I loved taking the political science class with Professor Shekarabi. She was a kind, caring, respectful Professor, that always gave good feedback. The coursework was well organized and easily accessible to the students.

It is gonna be a lot of reading, took her for 8 week. You read 80-100 pages per week. There is an exam with question that you must response in short essay. Just read and you will do well.

There is a lot of chapter reading. The class is structured between Discussion Assignments and Exams. If you read the material you should be fine, although some of the questions can get pretty detailed. The exam questions require short essay answers. If I had devoted more time to the class (I work full time and am a mom) I could have gotten an A.

Easily assignments! I was confused by the essays at first, but they are fine now. I would take this class again.

I really love Professor Shekarabi, she's super straightforward, which I love. First, assignments are straightforward the first essay I kind of messed up because I didn't understand but after that, it was easy I personally like to learn on my own, which I love how she let's you learn on your own if you can't learn on your own don't take this class.

Professor Shekarabi is nice and does care for her students, but this course is heavily dependent on yourself. She personally doesn't teach, but provides a short PowerPoint for key details in each chapter of the reading. Get prepared to read a lot, as the essays are reflective of the content. I wrote 19 short essays in 8 weeks so get prepared.

The class was easy, she does require a book, it's very test heavy. You will pass the class if you do the work.

I loved her! I took her for 8 weeks accelerated, so it was a ton of reading and a bit fast-paced. She's very straightforward, really kind, and cares about the success of her students. She gives helpful feedback and responds decently quickly to emails. I really enjoyed her class, and I'm taking her again in the Spring! I highly recommend taking her!
