Reviews of professor Mahyar Vaghefi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best professor. He was to the point about the course content and his teaching. There were group projects and assignments. 4 quiz (open note) but timed. 2 exams and assignments due every week but fun project and easy to do. Great individual with awesome skills. Would definitely take his class again. You need to put effort.

Gives good lecture and wants everyone to learn. 4 HW (long but doable). However, extremely hard exams (3 mini and one final). Very tricky questions, almost as if he wants you to mess up. Does not listen to any students requests as well, not very understanding towards student's problems.

Dr. Vaghefi is an outstanding teacher. He makes you work and you get to learn a lot. If you want to equip yourself with real useful skills and get a good job, Dr. Vaghefi is your man. If you want to slack off, have an easy time and struggle later, take someone else.

The professor is fine. The class was fun. The grading scale is terrible. You can do awesome in all assignments but if you mess up on midterm, you're doomed. All other assignments for the work that is put into them counts almost nothing compared to exams which is a lot of work. Avoid this class in general, but if you have to this professor is nice.

Great class but may be hard for non-IS majors, a few general business people really struggled in my class. Several extra credit opportunities. Only complaint is the semester-long group project - a group of 5making a model online business. Nothing wrong here but 3 of my members were deadbeats leaving two to do all the work - lowered grades fast.

One of the best professors I have had for my MIS classes at UTA. I am just completely new to the field and therefore his class was like a hammer and I was the nail. But he made sure that I can ask him anything, anytime and come to him for anything I dont understand. Amazing guy!

Good lectures. 
Does not listen to any students opinion and point of views. Exams are extremely hard. He wants you to do bad.
