Reviews of professor Amir Kouzehkanani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Amir is an intelligent man who cares about his students. He is strict, and attendance is required, but there is usually only one weekly assignment. You need to attend lectures or you will not pass his course. He gives 20 extra points on midterm/final and drops your lowest quiz grade. Highly recommend him.

Amir is so great! He made me like math! It is definitely a hard class, but it was so worth it and the material makes a lot of sense now. He curves the exam(s) generously and gives out lots of bonus points especially for the people who do all the work. Overall, he is a very generous and passionate professor, and by far one of my favorites at UConn.

One of the kindest professors I've had, and has a great respect for his students. Is a very clear lecturer, and reasonable. Attend class to do well, and he makes class very engaging. Only about 1 assignment per week, and mid term and final.

Lectures are a little boring but Amir is extremely nice and wants to get to know as many students as possible. He is very generous with grading (the class average on the midterm was a 65 so he gave everyone 20 extra points and bonus points on homework). Don't buy the textbook, everything is covered in lecture.

He is a person first, professor second. He cares about his students and is very reasonable. He does care about attendance, he passes around a sign-in sheet every class. Take home quizzes are pretty easy and don't take too long. Dont get the textbook, he only assigns readings like twice and they aren't really necessary. He curves exams generously.

A good and nice professor. A lot of take home quizzes and homework, however most of them are easy. Gives 2 hard exams that most people do bad. Gives extra credit to those who attend every class and complete all assignments. Lectures are mandatory if you want a good grade, for he basically gives you exactly what you need and what you need to write.

I'm writing this review because I'm crying over homework. My notes are useless because they are so disorganized and have no flow. He just rambles on in class and none of the lectures connect. He also wants things to be very specifically his way, and I have to unlearn half of what I learned in stat 1 just for his class.
