Reviews of professor Hatef Arshagi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unfortunately had to withdraw due to a poor schedule choice on my part and a noisy room making it hard to hear, just bad luck. I was also too cowardly to ask questions - my bad! But, he's clearly VERY passionate about his profession and loves math. He's super enthusiastic, and I'd love to try his class again now that I have more time on my hands.

Dr. Arshagi is a great professor. He does a lot of proofs in class which sometimes takes time away from problems, but they do help you understand the material. He is very kind and wants you to succeed. He is very passionate about mathematics as well which is obvious during his lectures.

I would not recommend Hatef Arshagi. His lectures are incredibly dull, he talks so slowly and quietly that you cannot hear him, and he is a bit hard of hearing. Also, homework is online, and tests are in person (2 tests + midterm/final). Yet, he manages to make concepts that can be explained in 10 minutes from Youtube take an hour. Teach urself.

The online version is extremely tough, His notes are not the best and are paragraph upon paragraphs of information with very little examples. Only practice problems come in the form of practice tests, and even then they do not help much.

He taught the material really well. Sometimes he'd go into proofs, but you can mostly ignore those. He gave handouts for every section and allowed us to use notecards on the tests and final. The only con is that he's bad with technology. As long as you go to class, do the homework, and take advantage of the notecards, you should be fine.
