Reviews of professor Behnam Amlashi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst teacher I've ever had in my life. He is horrible at explaining things as he assumes for you to know everything even though he doesn't teach and just has you watch his unorganized YouTube videos. Im sure hes better in person but online, he is terrible.

Professor Amlashi actually cares about teaching. He is the type of professor to go the extra mile to help you understand if you need it. The exams are somewhat difficult if you don't study. Take good notes and ask questions. He cares about his students and their education, you don't get many professors like him...I wish LAVC would hire more Amlashi

I was very excited to take this class, but it is just a huge disappointment. it is hard to rate this professor because he hardly ever teach us. All we do is watching videos that were meant to support his lectures last year , and we take tests. Oh i forgot there is homework and recitations that take points off for trying the problem. i learn nothing

Day 1 I could tell Prof. Amlashi definitely adjusted to the online format. The class is video lectures and in-class problems so if you're not good with that, maybe skip this one. I liked it because I could re-watch lectures and do it in my own time. You need to be disciplined to pass. Slack off and you might as well drop early cause you'll fail.

This was a really hard class for me Fall 2020. Some concepts were hard to understand through the videos but when I asked him to clarify them he did. He is always open to answering questions. I've had good and bad physics professors before and he's a good one. Do the recitations and don't procrastinate. THE FINAL REPLACES THE LOWEST TEST GRADE

Took him for online class in Fall 2020. The format of his class was watching recorded lectures, and they were fairly decent, I learned from them, and he was there to help if needed. The homework is online and wasn't too bad. We had three tests and the final, all which aren't too bad if you read the book and practice as many questions as possible.
