Reviews of professor Sam Anvari

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you're a student who expects your professor to spell everything out for you or hold your hand through every step, thats not Sam, nor how it is in the real world. If you're a self-starter; the kind of person who takes something and runs with it; then you will be successful in Sams class, not to mention your career. Sam's one of the best!

Anvari is a talented, genuine, and caring professor. In an asynchronous environment and short 8 week course, I highly recommend attending office hours for direct feedback on your projects. Anvari wants his students to excel and find ways to differentiate themselves. You will leave this class inspired, informed, and with a great portfolio piece!

A great professor. The class was hard because it's a 16-week class crammed into 8 weeks. I didn't know how to use Figma and he made a video for me personally to show me how to use it. He really cares about his students. He even extended the due date for our final project to a week after the semester ended to give us more time. Grades were timely.

Sam is the best professor who is not wasting the time on chit-chats. He gave detailed instructions and amazing feedbacks. Intense short class with a lot of useful information. Highly recommend him. I got one of the strongest UI portfolio pieces from this class.

This semester was online due to COVID, so lectures were recordings of Sam going over material, but that worked just fine! Assignments were explained clearly, he is very friendly, and its obvious he's cares about his students. Also quick to respond to emails. Only thing is that he's a late grader, so don't expect to get feedback anytime soon.

He's a nice guy but he takes two months to grade assignments. When class started, he was a week late in putting up class content on Canvas. In mobile design 75 he offered no feedback on my designs whatsoever. Almost everything was graded the final week. In mobile 76, he offered more valuable feedback but two months later. ugh.
