Prof Azoulay is funny and understanding. She wants her students to do well and encourages you to do your best work. She reviews before quizzes, but you still need to study on your own. Pay attention, ask questions, sit in the front, and don't be afraid to joke with her. She appreciates a sense of humor if she knows you're learning.

Prof Azoulay made a research class bearable and even enjoyable. She jokes around a lot and believes in her students. There is a semester-long group project but no final. If you pay attention and take good notes, you won't need the textbook. She reviews before each quiz too. I'm hoping to have her again for sales promo!

Azoulay is a wonderful professor. She turned a research class that would otherwise be boring in to a fun learning experience. There is a midterm, but a group project as a final. She gives weekly quizzes but they are simple & as long as you pay attention to her slides you'll be ok! I would recommend her to the fullest. Thanks for a great semester!

the material has the potential to be quite dry, but this professor gives great lectures and is very personable. She keeps you on track and helps to boost your grade with mini quizzes every week (she reviews before each). She does a research project to show how useful the material is. Very helpful, the class is well organized. Pay attention/ study!

Professor Azoulay seriously knows her stuff. She answers all questions to the best of her ability, and tries to keep the material interesting. She is upbeat and funny-- especially for a 9AM class. There is a term long group project; my best advice for the project is to be organized. Don't be late because it will hurt your grade.

Honestly, her class was informative, although really boring. Her presentations are 75 slides long unedited. Class sucked for me because the group she put me in for the semester-long project was terrible. I ended up doing most of the work and I'm talking 20 page long papers. When I asked for help getting my group to work, she said it was my problem.

Prof. Azoulay was super picky about students turning on cameras and would threaten not to help us if we didn't have our cameras on. Forces you to buy textbook, but you do not need it. Have a group project throughout the semester, extremely rude to my group and always had an attitude. Quizzes were fairly easy, Final had very confusing questions.

I took this course even though it was not part of my requirements. I heard she was a great teacher and the course met my expectations. I am confident that I can use what I learned in this course both professionally and academically in the future.

Professor Renee Azoulay is a great professor! She provides great information, great references and great resources to help us along the way. If you haven't taken one of her classes you should. Not to many teachers left around like her. She cares and provides the information you need in all of her lectures.

Professor Azoulay was an amazing teacher! She is incredibly understanding, and if you ever have an issue with an assignment she will always be willing to help you/hear you out. Participation is definitely important in her class, and if you stay on top of your work and make an effort to participate you should do well. I learned so much in her class.

Although we don't "need" the book I found it helpful as the powerpoints were sometimes confusing. Other than that she is hilarious and if you participate you should pass as long as you put in the work. She can be kind of strict with turning on cameras during the quarantine but it's just to make the class more lively. Also don't miss any quizzes.

I took an asynchronous class with professor azoulay. i like the way she has very organized units and that really helps. there's assignments, quizzes, and a term project broken up into 2 parts, which is manageable. for my class, i get 2-3 weeks per unit.

Im sorry but professor azoulay is not it. Maybe shes better in person but remote class with her has been a pain. Shes super unclear and honestly rather rude sometimes when you're confused on expectations. She only gives negative feedback too for projects so you don't know what's going well. Im a straight A student, not anymore after her class.

I really enjoyed Professor Azoulays class this semester!! It was definitely a lot of work but she really wants everyone to succeed, and the majority of the semester is devoted to doing our final project. Shes very knowledgeable and kept class as entertaining as she could! Would definitely recommend if youre looking to actually learn something.

DO NOT take this professor for an online class! She is a really tough grader, even when you do all the requirements. You have to do a group project the whole semester, and it's on you to figure out how to get that done in an online class. Makes you buy her textbook that she wrote also.

Prof. Azoulay was my favorite professor this semester. She is an industry professional in this topic so she has the real-life experience and is very knowledgeable. She says a textbook is required but honestly, if you take good notes on the PowerPoints you can get away without it. She does not assign too much homework. Definitely learned a lot.

Renee Azoulay was an exceptional professor. She was hilarious during class and a true gem. Be prepared to take a light quiz every week, she does give a review right before. She does make you work on a group project during the whole semester which isn't bad and is graded heavily. She is very understanding. Would take again.

Prof Azoulay is the funniest professor Ive ever had. She is super relatable and cares about her students understanding of research in the real world. She makes the class stress-free and leaves you feeling like you actually learned something. You dont need to buy the textbook. Take her if you can!

One of my favorite profs this semester! Knows how to talk to people and is super relatable and hilarious! She makes the class fun, but is also very good at teaching you what you need to know. She's also the only professor I had this semester who kept her personal politics out of the classroom, which I greatly respect.

Professor Azoulay was out for a few weeks this semester but she's truly amazing. We had this crazy guy come in to teach us and she was so understanding about what we went through that she changed the class completely to fit our needs. I wish I got to see her teach for the full semester because she is so witty and hilarious.

Prof Azoulay is great! There are short weekly quizzes but she reviews at the start of class. There are 3 big group papers (you present 1), but she goes over them in depth and gives examples to refer to. Work isn't easy but she grades fairly. She does her best to make a "dry" subject interesting. I am taking another class with her this semester!

You'll either love or hate her. Prof Azoulay is sarcastic and blunt. Her attitude can sometimes seem condescending or mean, but if you get to know her it's clear that she really cares for her students. She assigns 3 extensive group projects (2 are presentations) and 2 discussions, but grades fairly and allows you to be creative. I learned a lot!

Easy weekly quizzes, 2 papers, final project is split into 2 parts. Can feel like a lot of work at the time, but explains it well. Her biggest priority is helping us learn, and she cares about her students. Work in a group for the whole semester. Felt a bit disorganized with wrong dates on syllabus, and 10-15 minute breaks turned into 30 minutes.

This professor is super easy going, but somewhat a harsh grader. Each assignment was a group project which complicated things especially since my group wasn't the best. She chooses them for you and you keep them the entire semester However, overall, she was pretty great

She's a funny great professor, although I took her blended course and didn't have as much in person time with her, I enjoyed it. I would recommend if you do take the blended to actually READ the powerpoints during your online weeks-it will help you in the long run for quizzes.
