Reviews of professor Naeim Rahmani

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
expected us to read sheet music when he didnt teach us how. quizzes were really hard and you had to search for the answers. didnt teach us about the notes just taught us how to play certain songs and didnt go into which notes was which. he sets you up to fail, gives good feedback though but takes off points for thinks he didnt teach.

Online course with 150 graded tests/quizzes, each one with about 15 questions. Add to that some writing and discussion assignments--this class is incredibly tedious. Professor Rahmani offered almost no feedback on anything; just a couple of sentences here and there. It was as if I was taking the class by myself.

the class is very reading heavy (out of the textbook) and with every chapter you do a 5 question quiz (which are pretty easy so long as you take notes/actually do the reading). theres also asynchronous discussions and analyzing some music. the final is pretty fun and simple, and you'll do fine in this class as long as you don't procrastinate :)

I love guitar but this professor made it dull.

We had to learn a piece every week and perform it during class. It was pretty difficult to learn those pieces through his videos. There was little to no indication of what would be on the quiz. He expected us to remember difficult concepts that were discussed in class that he didn't explain well. Nice guy but I would not take another class from him

Will not respond to emails at all. Also takes weeks to grade anything so don't expect a quick response. Doesn't plan his performances out properly so you often don't get the chance to play your music.
