Professor Khosropour is passionate about the field of Peace & Conflict studies and engages students in exploring the subject matter and applying it to real-life situations. Her lectures were enjoyable and easy to follow. She asks thought-provoking questions and genuinely wants to know what students think. I highly recommend this internship class.

So interesting, you just want to stay back after class and keep discussing the topics. Don't take the hybrid class though, you just get one class session, which sounds good but the reading homework plus all the other assignments will kill you. The classes are the best part, with lots of discussion, so choose the option with all the class time.

She was kind and understanding especially during this COVID time. She really appreciates students opinion and loves to talk to us. The test questions were sometimes tricky but its open textbook anyways. I do wish I could take more of her classes because I really enjoyed her!

The online book was a difficult read for someone having retina issues; didn't like the paper copy either. Prof was professional, knowledgeable, personable, and very likable. Love her psychology viewpoints and the discussions about applying peace and conflict concepts. I'd love to take another course from her in the future.

This is the internship class for the PACs degree. It's been well managed and pivoted when we needed to pivot. The texts are small, but powerful. I learned so much from this class and can't wait to take next steps in creating peace beyond.

Definitely recommend taking her! Lectures were always engaging. Test over every chapter. NO FINAL. 4 short writtings. Responds to emails quickly. She is very understanding and don't hesitate to contact her if anything comes up.

Took an average of 10 days to respond to emails, didnt allow questions about assignments, late in updating grades, cancels class and office hours, not engaging and passive aggressive. If you take this course expect to do a lot of assuming because it was very hard to get her to communicate through email, class, and office hours.

Overall she was a ok teacher. She wasnt good at emailing you back until tje end of the semester. Sometimes she even ignores you on email and sends a group email to the class that can be passive aggressive. She was very unorganized. She didnt really know how to teach tje class. On the other hand, she is very empathetic and nice.

Shirin has definitely structured this class in an interesting way and I learned a lot. However, most of that learning was done on my own. Unclear expectations, no communication on assignments, passive aggressive and overall detached from our class. Easy A if you do all of the work, don't expect her to explain anything about it, though.

Dr. Khosropour is an incredibly sweet and understanding lady. Her class for me was a once a week hybrid class that relies heavily on online assignments for grading. She loves favoriting students who participate. The grading system is a little complicated so get organized with assignments as she sometimes forget to remind you.

Dr. Khosropour is the best! Her class was hybrid so all the work was online and the class was discussion based. You are graded in blogs (discussion boards) for each chapter, chapter quizzes-open note, four essays, and two more assignments. She really cares about her students and about them learning and applying the concept she teaches. Recommend!

one of the best profs ive had, she truly cares about students and their well beings. on top of that, she has no final or tests for that matter. there was a textbook but it was free and the quizzes I believe were open notes as well. the workload is not too much at all and is fairly spaced out and her class in general is fun! it's also hybrid.

Dr. Khosropour is an incredibly understanding professor with lots of helpful information! The course consists of lots of reading, but the information is easy to follow and very informative. Dr. Khosropour is also very understanding when it comes to late work and life outside of class, just be sure to communicate with her beforehand :)

I took Prof. Khosropour online over the summer mini term. Clear cut class, complete your chapter quizzes and prep as soon as possible. 3 graded discussions, make sure to follow the rubric and cite your resources in text, if you have them. No exams just reading, videos to watch (very interesting) and the discussion posts. Very happy with the course.

Prof. Khosropour relies heavily on you reading the textbook and doing online quizzes for her to know that you're doing the work. She has three papers that are due online, but they are not incredibly difficult. The hardest part of the class is making sure to get things in on time, because the class (over the summer) is FAST. But completely doable!
