Nasim DarouieHaghighi CMLT277 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/13/2024	Professor Darouie-Haghighi is the kind of professor that you're sure is a really nice person but isn't very good at her job. She's a bit awkward like other reviews say, but means no harm - she asked students the day of the election how they were feeling about the candidates, explaining how in her country she's used to dictatorships. It wasn't the most appropriate topic to start the day off with, but she really did mean well. She also bases the class on group discussions about the readings, which most students don't do - so it's just awkward convo with you and the people around you for 15 minutes. A lot of painful silence. Every single class. The assignments are not hard, but her rubrics are very inconsistent. She will clear them up if you ask but it is annoying. Most grading is pretty lenient and she will always email you back right away if you have questions about anything.
Nasim DarouieHaghighi CMLT277 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/11/2024	I do understand a lot of the comments and agree that she is a little awkward at times. However, she is a super easy grader and she at least attempts to make it endurable. The class I was in didn't really engage and I think that makes it hard. The issue is that there is a lot of material and it can be pretty boring. I'd recommend just reading summaries on it. Her jokes bomb often but her determination to have one land is quite frankly inspiring to see.

Ralph Bauer CMLT277 Anonymous 12/17/2009	i thought he was a decent professor but really really boring class. he knows a lot of what hes talking about, is good for answering questions, but unfortunately requires you to go to class because participation is part of your grade (20%!!!) the way they do participation is by making you answer a question near the end of lecture and handing it in. and my TA was pretty bad, i didn't like him at all, he tried to make lame jokes and tried to "scare" us into answering questions during discussion, it was weird. overall didn't really like the class, and there was WAYYYY too much reading!! [atleast 5 books, and that was only during the second half of the semester... one of the books was 700+ pages long]
Ralph Bauer CMLT277 Expecting a B- tallboyt 12/29/2008	I don't like reading at all, but when you come out of this class you learn a lot about history. Bauer is very helpful if you go to his O.H; he is also extremely smart so ask any questions, inc. Qs about the 2 essays and terms regarding the 2 tests. If you read and can write standard essays, you'll do fine; don't read then pay careful attention.
