"She was great about answering questions during class. I loved how willing she was to take an extra minute to re–explain something or go back."
"Professor Lahijanian has been one of the most understanding professors I have ever had. Her true kindness and extreme care and consideration for her students really inspired me to work as hard as I could in her class."
"While having very clear and helpful lesson plans, she provided tons of resources and help to anyone who needed it. I never had an issue understanding how to complete problems because she was so thorough and direct in lecture. "
"Enthusiastic during lectures, answered questions well. "
"Her strengths are her enthusiasm for the topic and ability to present complex topics in formats that are easy to interpret. "
"She made it very easy to follow along and understand course concepts. She was engaging and did a great job making sure everyone followed along and could ask questions when needed. "
And from ESI 4523 in Fall 2020:
"The time she spent in class, after class, and in office hours answering all of the questions we had. She was very helpful and eager to help us understand every topic where we had questions in a very friendly manner. "
"She was effective at teach and explaining the material. "
"I think she was kind and open to helping in every way she could. She provided positivity and patience when we were struggling. "
"Ms. Lahijanian brought a lot of great energy and excitement to her lectures. She is very eager to help and answer questions and makes a point to go through the breakout rooms during a lab section to see if anyone has any questions. "
"Professor Lahijanian was a nice professor she was kind and always willing to help the students in any aspect. She did the best to teach the course and explain it well i just think because this was a new software it was kind of new to everyone. "
"Professor Lahijanian was very enthusiastic about the course material and always encouraged participation. I really enjoyed the in– class labs because it was a collaborative learning experience. "
