Sana Jahedi STAT400 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/09/2024	Sana is a very caring professor who really supports her students and will go above and beyond to help them with the material. That being said, I feel like the exams were unfairly hard at times and often included material we had never covered. Definitely not a bad professor but the exam material really should be changed.
Sana Jahedi DATA400 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/08/2024	Very understanding teacher, exams are just like the study guide. An A is basically guaranteed as long as you go to class.
Sana Jahedi STAT400 Expecting a C Anonymous 12/05/2024	I really liked this professor. I had a difficult time with the class and couldn't make the office hours, which she unfortunately couldn't work around, but she did the best she could when possible. I wish the homework was more spread out, as that would be more helpful for me personally.
Sana Jahedi STAT410 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2024	I write this review to set the record straight with this professor and this class. I am no genius by any means, however the reviews below me are being unfair and taking things out of context. 1. Organization It is true that this semester Sana has been a bit disorganized and I don't think she is proud of it either. She is incredibly busy herself and has had a ton of personal (career-related) matter to tend to. But in absolutely no way has this disorganization negatively impacted anyone's grade. I mean yeah I was a little stressed at times, but she always ends up compensating for it by extending deadlines or pushing topics to the next exam instead of an upcoming one. 2. That One Homework Problem Set This is a more theoretical STAT400 and everyone taking this class knew it going into it. You can't complain about getting assigned difficult homework as a result. They're not long homeworks but the problems themselves can be quite difficult sometimes I will admit. And the homework set that was deemed 'too difficult' by Sana, ended up being bonus points for every question you correctly answered. 3. Second Midterm If you went to class and did very poorly you must not be telling the entire truth. Sana mentioned in class that we would have a question for solving variance with covariance while we were doing that exact kind of question on the board. The day before the midterm, she did another practice problem solving variance with covariance. So on the day of exam, we have two of those questions, one generalized with variables and one with numbers. Those should have been free questions, as Sana intended. You simply regurgitate exactly what had been written in our class notes on that topic which are posted. We had 5 questions. One was very easy, truly. The two covariance problems we had seen exact one to one copies of those questions beforehand. And two questions were 'new'. Had you gotten the first three I mentioned, you would have baseline 50%. And most people should have been able to get some partial on the last two, bringing your grade to around an 80% if not better. It should be doable in class time but she allowed us to have up to almost 3 hours I believe. That is more of a luxury in my opinion, though some people may see it differently. Sana is not at all unreasonable. She's an incredibly sweet person and does not want anyone to fail. She wants us students to succeed but she also wants us to put in effort to study as well. In my opinion, if you want to take a more theoretical statistics class, then you should be prepared to spend some extra time on difficult problems. There is just no way around that as much as I dislike it as well sometimes. And no, these are not grad level questions lol. I think she takes some of the more reasonable questions from Harvard and/or MIT's first course in probability.

Sana Jahedi STAT410 Anonymous 12/02/2024	I was expecting her to be a good professor; there was only one review when I signed up for class which was 5 stars. She is a kind person, she is flexible with I expected her to be a good professor; there was only one review when I signed up for the class, and it was 5 stars. She is a kind person and flexible with assignments, often extending deadlines for the entire class or reducing the number of questions on homework and other tasks. However, this flexibility is necessary because her assignments are extremely difficult. For example, we had a quiz designed to be completed in 20 minutes in groups, but it took longer than the entire 1 hour and 15-minute class period. Homework assignments are time-consuming, quizzes are hit or miss, and exams take an excessive amount of time. Although she doesn’t impose a time limit on exams, I know people who spent over two hours on them, essentially taking the equivalent of three finals in this class.
Sana Jahedi STAT410 Anonymous 11/27/2024	She is mostly very sweet and will give extensions if you ask. However, she is convinced our homework and exams are easy when they are very much not. For example, our second midterm was deemed “easy,” but the mean was a 48%. She blamed the grades on us not coming to class. I come to every class and still did very bad. Her fix is applying our extra credit that we got for completing a homework that she realized afterwards was way too hard. I would not recommend if you prefer organized teaching either.
Sana Jahedi STAT410 Expecting an A- Anonymous 11/25/2024	Exam is impossible. I don't know what she expects of students. I came in with a full understanding of the material and the exam was impossible.
Sana Jahedi STAT410 Anonymous 11/21/2024	She thinks the class is for like grad students or something and gives impossible questions that she’s never gone over. She gives quizzes that take all class then wonders why we’re behind schedule. She changes her mind every day and is very disorganized. She changed our exam date like 3-4 times without telling us.
Sana Jahedi STAT400 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/18/2024	Sana is very sweet! Almost too sweet. Do not take advantage of her kindness (I will find your house). She's not the problem, I am (I don't study lol). PROS: - Her notes are the BEST (she posts "pre-lecture" notes and she posts finished notes after class)!! - Gives A LOT of practice exam questions, many of which are on the exam. - Answers questions and offers help a lot a lot!! CONS: - She has an accent, but it's not that bad. - Hw and exams are hard. - Discussions are usually quizzes (idk if this is a con, they're not that bad if you study).
Sana Jahedi DATA400 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/15/2024	She is one of the nicest professors and understands you. Offers help, her exams are just like the practice so if you get the hang of that you should be fine. She is also very sweet. quizzes and labs (which are like group quizzes) every week, you have about 7 of these a semester are super fair but attendance is mandatory in disscussions. 2 midterm exams 15% of your grade each. definately recommend her for stat 400.
Sana Jahedi DATA400 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/12/2024	She is one of the best stat teachers. She is super lenient, lectures well, gives fair quizzes, and there are a lot of team quizzes. 10/10 would recommend if you need to take this class.
Sana Jahedi DATA400 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 10/26/2024	Definitely one of the nicest professors I've ever had, especially if you meet her in office hours. She teaches the material really well, down to earth and always willing to follow on with you or meet you privately if you need help. Her exams are mostly easy and her work doesn't destroy you mentally because she gets that you have other classes and whatnot. Would definitely take her for this class.
Sana Jahedi DATA400 Expecting an A Anonymous 10/22/2024	She is the goat. Her practice exams is exactly like the exam. She's understanding and nice. Best prof I've had in MATH department, heavily recommend.

Sana Jahedi MATH141H Expecting an A+ Anonymous 09/11/2024	Super nice and understanding and really good at explaining problems and helping you with any questions in class
Sana Jahedi MATH141H Expecting an A Anonymous 02/19/2024	Very good professor on the whole. Very willing to answer questions and made a point to provide intuitive proofs for any major theorems/formulas that came up in class. All lecture notes were uploaded to the class website, although the lectures themselves weren't recorded. For each exam there was practice material analogous to what would be on the exam, and quizzes and exams were graded fairly (arithmetic errors incurred minor deductions). I strongly recommend if you want a professor who concentrates more on student understanding than rote proficiency with the tools of calculus.
