Reviews of professor Jamshid Namdari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Namdari is the best Stats professor ever.  The reviews that are negative are false since the class is easy to understand.  You do need to do all calculations by hand which is more beneficial than using a calculator and not understand the material as well.  Take Namdari since his grading is very fair and honest.

Graded by very few things: a few quizzes, 2 midterms, and a final. The midterms only have 12 to 14 questions so if you miss 1 problem, your grade drops significantly. Lectures were boring & unenthusiastic and concepts behind the math were barely explained. Was hoping to learn about stats but ended up simply copying calculation steps.

Honestly, the best Statistics professor I have ever taken at Davis.  Homework 15%, 3 midterms at 55% total, and final exam 30%.  The midterms have 12 questions while the final exam has 25 questions.  Easy work if you put in the effort.  Very caring and willing to help answer even the most basic questions. You will not regret taking him.

I have never seen this man smile once. He seems miserable, and the class feels like it drags on forever. Graded on only quizzes, 2 midterms (25% EACH), and a final (30%). genuinely ridiculous. got a 10/12 on a midterm and i'm already out of the A range. can't make any mistakes. impossible to learn from bc its just so boring.

He's a really good lecturer and his notes are really well organized. Homework and discussion sessions aren't mandatory but if you do them you'll do really well on his weekly quizzes which make up a lot of your grade but they don't have a time limit. His midterms are similar to his quizzes so they make great study material.

He will write down the material on the paper but no enough explanation. The class is practical but he only go through the math. It is highly possible that you spend tons of time on computing math to get something that you don't truly understanding.
