Reviews of professor Saman Bastami

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Saman Bastami is clearly someone who understands the material a whole lot but has no ability to teach that knowledge to students. All practice problems he solves on the board are just a series of equations he derives and never completes. The midterm exam was near impossible with an average of a failing grade. You will not learn anything with him.

Had Professor Bastami for Astronomy class, guy clearly didn't know what he was teaching so in result the class suffered. Was late numerous times to class, spoke super quietly, and had trouble explaining important. He also gave us the exam study guides 2-3 days before the exam and the study guides barely helped with the exams, do not take this guy!

Saman is mad quiet. Like he won't use a microphone but he really needs to. He loves to do problems on the board in tiny handwriting in a full sized lecture hall, so there's that. His test questions are wrong, like they don't work, like he said out loud during the exam that it wasn't solvable. Also there is too much online hw that he assigns late.

He knows so much about Physics that he doesn't know how to teach the topic. To be fair, this was his first class he has ever taught at college level. Difficult exams, not organized, presentations are boring, and has the most monotonous voice its impossible to stay awake.
