Reviews of professor Mohammad Zarifi

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Zarifi is bad at explaining things. His notes are extremely cluttered because whenever he does an example he adds in extra unnecessary steps. One time he derived the product rule in the middle of an example, which made it very difficult to follow. I ended up learning most of the class from the assignment answer key made by a different professor.

horrible prof. screwed the whole class over by making the midterm invigilated on zoom and everyones mic had to be on as well - not great when you have ADHD. Gave the bare minimum needed to pass the course. Lectures and notes are confusing as hell. Seems like a nice guy but not great for online class.

JUST GO TAKE THE LECTURE, ALL THE TIME! At the end of the term, there are only 20 students out of 70 still attending. Go to the lecture, take the notes, attend tutorial, solid A coming through.

Dr. Zarifi is a very helpful, understanding and a kind professor that I ever had in UBCO. He explains everything step by step and doesn't hesitate to go over and over again on course materials to make sure students get a good understanding of stuff. Great Guy!

Dr. Zarifi is a nice man who's accessible and encourages participation. However, he spends too much time covering content that was barely covered on the midterm. His lecture section fell far behind the other, lectures have a stupid amount of content, and his notes are extremely cluttered. Swap sections if you can. Midterm class avg of 46...
