Horrible teacher!!!!! Gives pop quizzes and literally lies to students about what to prepare for on tests. Do not take him for anything!!!!

He likes office meetings and gets very excited when he explains the homework problems. I'm a transfer from chattstate and enjoy utc classes. Perquisites are not required but it helps to have a similar class before taking this one. Attendance is important

Ari is an awesome person in general dont get me wrong but from my experience, his method of teaching wasnt progressive. He gave random quizzes at the beginning of class so if youre 5min late its a 0. The exams were a bit more complicated than in class problems and his partial credit was not based on correct answer but his preferred method

It's hand-holding until it's not anymore. The homework is always optional, but I highly suggested doing it to become a pro in the subject. Professor Ghasemi is not here to fail anyone or convince you to change your major. He tells you from the start to see this class as an investment and not as a chore. He gives quiz bonuses & midterm waivers! TAKE

great structural analysis class

Kinda torn on this one. Material is hard but he tries really hard to explain it and make you think things through. Gives plenty of opportunities to possibly get extra credit but they're hard to get but also gives a number of super easy quizzes to buffer your grade. All in all, pretty good prof, material is hard, pay attention and you'll be alright

Extra credit does not REPLACE your bad grades! They add up to the overall grade.

Random pop quizzes that range from material taught that week to writing your name down count for 40% of your grade. You can receive an 80 on your final and still end up with a D due to the quizzes.

Great professor overall. Presentation of the information is very professional and thought provoking. The studying habits gained from this class were crucial in my success in other classes. Study intensive but practical applications.
