Reviews of professor Mehdi Ahmadi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Tough grader and tests are nothing like the homework. Avoid at all costs especially if you are not already good at math.

Nice teacher, but to be honest, math labs are a waste of time and I have no idea what his teaching. What he taught in class is not what I learned in my Math lectures. Although we always got full points in whatever assignments we did, I still hardly understood what he taught. I had to get help from my other group members. Don't take him.

A bit challenging but very helpful for future studies.

Mehdi is a great lecturer---HOWEVER, he gives midterms, HW, and a final that are nothing like lecture notes and are absurdly hard. He does not curve hard and you will probably be fighting for your life to pass this class.

Take another professor at all costs :)

I hate his exams. I literally want to never take him again in my life. His exams are so unfair and go over complex theories rather than problems presented to study from the homework.

Professor Mehdi knows his Math but cannot relate to his students.  He grades unfairly by making the grading system with very few points.  Some exams have 2 questions so if you get one wrong or slightly wrong you are sure to get a D.  The class average is 70 points and get an A is impossible.  DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.

Very tough grader but also very good teacher. Class is lecture heavy and fast paced due to SCU's quarterly system. Exams are hard compared to the homeworks. It is important to understand WHY/HOW/WHEN a concept works, rather than knowing just how to solve it. I highly recommend practicing additional problems and using his resources / office hours.

He grades pretty harshly, and the class average on most midterms was about a 60%. He does end up dropping the lowest midterm, but it's still a very difficult class.

Prof Ahmadi has good lectures and explains topics decently well. However the exams are absurdly hard and he says he doesn't curve. Half the class dropped by the second midterm. He also doesn't explain the midterm solutions or provide homework answers- so you never really know the right answers. A lot of self studying is required.I would avoid him

If you already have a good grasp on the pre-requisites, this class could be easy for you? Nice professor during the lectures, but when I went to him for office hours he said a few off-handed things about the questions I was genuinely asking. He's pretty strict overall in the classroom, but also with grading exams. Would not take again.

Says that a C in his class is good.
