Reviews of professor Reza Shariatmadari

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I recommend avoiding Professor Shariatmadari at all costs. His lectures were confusing, and the class is based on 3 major quizzes and 1 final. The third quiz is given during week 10 right before the final. Test questions are often unlike anything you have practiced in class/homework; the average was never above 70%. He is not kind or understanding

I have not once in my SCU career contemplated dropping a class and unfortunately, due to his insanely hard quizzes and tests, I think I'd rather save my GPA and drop then merely pass this class. DO NOT TAKE!!! I don't care if you NEED this class, just wait for a better professor.

Tests were super hard, way harder than any thing we did in class. Little homework sounds good, but you need to practice yourself.

Professor Reza is definitely a hard core teacher. Four quizzes are hard. He focuses on lecture, so anything more can only be learned from lecture or office hour. But he is very caring and will be happy to answer questions as long as you engage in class. He will give a certain amount of curve at the end of the quarter based on your improvement.
