I took History 1B, taught by Dr. Mokhberi during 2011 Summer Session A, and I have to say it was not a bad class. Dr. Mokhberi may not be as good as Professor Getty (History 22) is in lecturing, but she definitely follows the textbook in lecturing. Her lectures can be entertaining if you like the time period as she incorporates pictures and movie scenes. Dr. Mokhberi is a quite reliable professor if one needs to ask her questions. She is one of the few professors that allows questions during lectures. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this class a 6.75.

So, so, so easy. Take her. I don't think she's terribly interesting, but that's because history is just really not my thing. She seems like a pretty cool person, but I never actually went to office hours. And I have to say...I usually fell asleep in her class. She likes to show movies, which is always a nice break from lecture (one time we watched a part of Monty Python!)

Raia thinks that the rooms she lectures in are haunted by figures of the occult. When I took History of Science and Religion, I thought she was joking, but after Western Civ I realized that she does in fact believe her microphone and PowerPoint presentations are possessed. This should be some indication that this professor is rambling, nonsensical, and completely useless at teaching anything related to her topic.
