Reviews of professor Arman Rezaee

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The final is nothing like midterm, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a good grade on it. He does NOT give study guide for final, rather just vague tips such as "study everything". Never got the answer key for midterm as well.

I've been studying so hard to keep an A in this class, but this final is going to ruin it. And btw final is 40% of your grade.

Very interesting class. Tests are based on memorization of readings that are pretty simple and easy to follow. If you do the readings and show up to class it is easy to do well. Also one short proposal to write that is only 2 pages.

Nice guy, but he would get off topic on lecture a lot of the time and the subjects we were quizzed/tested on were not emphasized enough. Did not do a great job explaining the concepts in the second half of the class. Basically had to teach myself a lot of concepts because they were not explained clearly during lectures.

Exams were very similar to study guides, several questions word-for-word. Very straight forward class; professor provides many numerical examples that match exactly what he tests on. He provided an interesting perspective by incorporating his research. Very thoughtful answers to questions in class. Generous curve bc many people intentionally fail.

Homeworks are extremely time-consuming and the class is stressful. Midterm is a taken at home and open notes. For those students who prefer to study alone, avoid this professor if u can. He is nice but his class actually requires u to study with others to get a good grade.

He was accommodating and willing to adapt given the difficulties of going online. I thought he taught the material pretty well too. Midterm was exactly like the examples done in lecture, but his final was AWFUL. None of the problems had been done in the hw or section before and it destroyed my grade in the class.

Lectures were paced appropriately. Was able to score well on both midterm and final. Calculations from homework and practice tests covers around 75% of the test. The slides help with short answer questions which covers the other 25% of the test. As long as you study the homework, slides, and practice tests, you should be fine.
