Reviews of professor Akbar Safari

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Safari was one of the worst professors I had. He tries his best but he isn't good at teaching. You have TONS of hw that he never goes over so you basically just have to teach yourself. You must remember everything from ACCT 201A to be successful. The class average on all the tests was either a low D or high F. He does give a huge curve, however.

Should've dropped when I had the chance. Worst Professor at CSUF! Expects you to remember everything from 201A, only reads off of powerpoints & hw due almost everyday, which he'll never go over. Yells too much. Technical difficulties with a quiz  0. His advice was always "help yourself" he does not care to teach students. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!

Most likely will have to take the class again with poor teaching, only receiving a couple of emails throughout the semester. If you can teach yourself accounting, then I recommend you take this as your class.

Brothers and sisters, take Prof. Safari! Cost Accounting is said to be the hardest 300-level accounting class, but he makes it manageable and fun with singing and jokes. He gives good examples, and the homework over-prepares you for the tests where you're allowed your own formula sheet. There's also one assignment, focusing on the early chapter.

This is a difficult class to take at CSUF and I recommend for business students take any lower-division accounting course at their local community college. Professor Safari does mean well but does lack many qualities to be a great accounting professor. I often was not able to understand him due to him talking under his breath.
