Dr. Mehdizadeh is a very cool professor i really liked her as a person, but in class, my fellow classmates and I didn't really like it. Dont get me wrong her class is probably the best english class i have been in throughout my life just being a freshman in college, but the workload is RIDICULOUS. It is not the traditional 3 essays then you are done. Her class is set up with a lot of readings that require annotations to show that you actually did it and each reading you have to give a summary etc. This class was a little stressful, but it was the only class i didn't fall asleep in all quarter. All her essays revolve around you and your input, which i loved about the class. We had 5 blogs due every friday, and the final project is worth 40% of the grade. The class is definitely doable but you gotta work for it. I did everything like EVERYTHING last second (even the final that was do yesterday) and still managed to scrape A's here and there. So take the class if it seems interesting but know that it is alot of work. She is a great proffessor!

Dr. Mehdizadeh is the first professor that I had at UCLA and I thoroughly loved her class. It was challenging but thought provoking and it could honestly be fun. We all became very comfortable with each other and shared our honest opinions about the texts we read. It was a discussion based class with Dr. Mehdizadeh guiding us through the texts. Professor Mehdizadeh gives great feedback on her essays and is very helpful in office hours. I would recommend Dr. Mehdizadeh for English Comp 3. Her class has been one of my favorites while I have been at UCLA.
