Reviews of professor Aleks Baharlo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Baharlo was soo knowledgable on the entire development process and the players in it. Helped me get more comfortable with what actually takes place in RE development. He also has an architecture background if that's something you vibe with. Only downside is that attendance is -2 points of your final grade, so don't be late the first 10 minutes.

RED 398, taught by Professor Baharlo, was hands down the greatest class I've ever taken at USC. Engaging material taught by an experienced professor. If you enjoy residential development, you will love this class.

Professor Baharlo is an enjoyable, funny, and experienced professor. You must take diligent notes from lectures and MUST attend all lectures (few exceptions and no recordings). If you pay attention, take thorough notes, then you will do great. He appreciates students who ask questions and ends lecture early, if all topics are covered.

This is my last semester at USC and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to take professor Baharlo's class. This is a real estate elective but it should be a core requirement. The Professor really knows his stuff and does everything to make residential real estate development clear to the class. He wants everyone to do well and is easily accessible.

Baharlo is a boring professor and lecturer. There is a midterm and a final, and they are each worth 30% of your grade. There is a ridiculously complex and lengthy final project worth 35% of your grade. Baharlo expects you to do it like a professional without clear guidelines. Not worth your time for an RED elective, ridiculous class.

Professor Baharlo is one of my favorite real estate professors at USC, and 398 is an elective I would recommend to anyone. Attendance is mandatory but the lectures are engaging (and never run the full 3 hours). Development can be a dense topic but he makes it manageable and interesting, largely because he is speaking from his own experiences. 10/10

Professor Baharlo's 398 class is fantastic and I highly recommend anyone trying to learn about development to take it. Professor Baharlo is truly an expert when it comes to real estate, is excellent at teaching, and wants his students to succeed.
