Reviews of professor Amir Danesh-Yazdi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
ConApps is a hard ME class, but Dr. Danesh made it feel much easier. He hosted recitation sessions on Wednesdays to practice problems with peers, was always available for help, and the weekly "Skills Assessment" exams helped reinforce the key concepts of the week. Grading on exams is super fair and problems are similar to ones you've done before.

For ES213 - While Dr. Danesh is friendly and enthusiastic, I found that he starts lecturing faster and faster as the quarter goes, and his accent and speed really starts to make lectures difficult to understand and follow. There's no time to write down everything. He also doesn't post notes on Moodle so it's tough to find resources.

Danesh gives numerous resources to help learn the material which makes conapps not too difficult despite it being a usually hard class. Generous partial credit is given on exam questions as long as major steps aren't skipped, and he makes it clear which steps need to be followed for most problems.

Dr. Danesh made Conapps fun! There's a lot of homework, but that's pretty course-specific. He really tried to make the class interesting and make sure we knew what we were going to be tested on and prepared for it. I really appreciate that he did lots of example problems so we knew what to do when faced with a similar one on the exam.
