Reviews of professor Maziar Ouliaei-Nia

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Does not give partial credit on tests, and they consist of eight to ten "challenge" type problems, which are extremely hard and nothing like the problems covered in class. All class averages for tests are following: 60.00%, 43.67%, 58.50%

Maziar was my first calc professor coming into Virginia Tech, and it has been a blessing to be in his class considering the situation with Virginia Tech's math department. He teaches by giving practice problems instead of showing proofs and other nonsense. The only way to pass the class with an A is to do a lot of practice problems before each test

Great teacher. I ended with a C but it was my first semester and coming out of the class I know I could have done better. A fair teacher-doesn't curve but the tests are very reasonable and he redistributes the weighting of tests to your own individual advantage at the end of the year. I would definitely take him again. A really nice dude.

Maziar has been an amazing professor. The material is difficult if you dont go to class, but he works through useful examples skipping nothing, even simple algebra in case you have forgotten. Exams are EASY if you go to class and follow along. He spends more time doing examples then talking through nonsense proofs and theorems. Highly recommend.

Maziar is a great professor. He doesn't want you to fail :) I missed up bad in my first test that's why I ended up with this grade in his class. If you want to do well in his class do all the suggested H.W. questions from the textbook (all his test/final questions come from the textbook). His tests are easy just practice the textbook questions.

Demonstrates great knowledge of the concepts covered. Grade is comprised of 3 tests, all online homework assignments, and attendance. He will work with you to earn the grade you desire.
