Reviews of professor Alisina Azhang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Usually great at math but the professor is making it impossible to get a good grade. He only reads out the textbook and just copies it down. I do not learn while in class. I'm learning more from videos online than him. I highly advise you to choose another professor. DO NOT TAKE!

Dr. Azhang is awesome as person who is kind and friendly. However, when it comes to his teaching, he is very conceptual and theoretical with his teachings avoid actual application through examples, there is room for improvement on that. Overall, his class isn't bad but make sure you study.

Taken for 2090, try to avoid if you can. Tells you to practice every problem in the book for the exams and has to curve heavily since most people fail. Lectures are also pretty bad and is impossible to stay engaged in. Much easier to just learn from online and only attend for exams

Taken for 2090. Course was only graded by homework and exams. Each exam including final was curved and homework rewarded bonus to overall grade if fully completed. If you can complete his homework, you can complete his exams. Whether you use the lectures, the textbook, or YouTube, make sure you understand the material and you will pass.

Beware!! You have 4 exams and tons of homework. The first exam is out of 140 points. The second exam is out of 200 points and the third exam is out  of 220 points. Not many questions on the exam so you mess up on one test your basically screwed! The final is 300 points and 30 percent of your grade.

He reads straight from the textbook and provides no examples in class, so when it comes to doing to the Homework, it is extremely difficult for a concept that seems easy. He does not allow notesheets or calculators. His solutions to practice problems consist of more questions, without providing the answer to check your work. Find another professor.

Very test heavy. Does not teach the material at all. Exam are graded by TA but if you show it to him he tells you TA's graded it wrong. Takes 4 weeks to return exam.

Homework will always have 10-20% extra credit on them. Exams are similar to questions on the practice exams. Class is primarily theory-based which is not helpful for the actual exams. Stopped going to class after the first exam and my grades went up.

I would really not recommend this professor. Exams took about a month each to get graded, and his lectures were not helpful. Grade is heavily determined on exams which are very difficult, but also curved.

Azhang is a very caring professor. However, I often found that the notes in class didn't always help me with the content on the tests. Homeworks always got extended for 2-3 days later, but YOU NEED TO DO THEM! Once they close, he will not reopen them for you. Get 100% on all the homeworks and study them and you'll get an A.
