Reviews of professor Ardeshir Raihanian Mashhadi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a good guy and quite enthusiastic. The class was easy enough, although it was a bit boring. My biggest gripe is that lecture notes should be more clear and attention grabbing, particularly the math covered later in the course. It is very simple math, but it needs to be more clearly written and structured for quicker comprehension.

Ardeshir is not very good at explaining things and definitely seems to bother me during lecture. Lots of work for a 2 credit class. He also doesn't teach you anything about coding and how to use an arduino, simply expects you to learn yourself.

This professor have 0 sense of help and he doesn't care at all about your circumstances. I skipped 1 activity because I had a very good reason to skip it (I couldn't go to campus at that day) and I told him about it and he gave me a 0. I don't recommend him at all.

Extremely harsh on project reports. Gives vague and unhelpful feedbacks. Someone at UB reading this needs to hire better professor for this course and 451 and look into replacing awful TA.

MAE477 is one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. The coding and math is very difficult but always fair. His uploaded notes are poor and incomplete, but his online lectures were great. I got satisfaction from completing work for this class that I never felt from other classes. Really easy to reach by email.

A lot of the most recent reviews are a bit exaggerated. There was 4 homework's, 3 memos and 2 tests. The workload wasn't terrible but is very project heavy. The first test has a massive amount of material but if you study the day before you should be okay. Lectures weren't the clearest but he posts the notes online. Overall the class was enjoyable

Nice guy, but the course material was a bit strange, at least I thought. Felt the class was scheduled a bit awkwardly, and the project should have been worth a lot more than it was.
