Very nice guy and good teacher, calc is hard in general but he does his best to help come to class and pay attention and you should be good

Amazing teacher for Calc 2. Taught material in an explainable way, and made sure to explain derivations for equations which further helped me understand the course material. Would absolutely take his class again.

Maziar is a great professor. Sometimes he may move fast but he will always be willing to answer any questions. He does a great job preparing you for the tests.

Professor Maziar was my first math professor at Virginia Tech and I could not be happier to have had him. He is a great teacher, who goes through examples all class long and is always willing to answer questions afterward. Over the course of the semester we only had 3 tests that count for 60% , so make sure you study the content he teaches!

Good at lecturing, but sometimes jumps between topics. Make sure you're engaged the entire time in class. Gives little homework, so make sure you STUDY AND PRACTICE. Three exams determine your entire grade, and the material is tough. Need the discipline to practice on your own so you truly know the material. Don't get behind and take a W like me.

One of the best math teachers in my educational career. He is extremely patient with questions, gives excellent examples and definitions, and his tests are extremely reasonable. Make sure you attend class and do the homework. I would definitely take the class again! Thank you Dr. Maziar!

Professor Maziar is a gem in the math department! Since math professors are chosen 2 weeks before classes start, sometimes you get stuck with a really bad professor, but if you can choose Maziar, do it! Go to class, take notes, ask questions. MATH1226 is difficult but you hardly get lost with the way he teaches.

one of the best math professors you can get at VT. he doesn't expect you to know everything and is very straight forward. not one of those overbearing professors that expects you write complicated proofs or derivations. would take him again.

He explained everything pretty clearly and his lectures were him writing on a chalkboard for 50 minutes. You have to put in the work to do well in the class. The tests were super straightforward and just like practice problems in class but I felt his partial credit was strict. There was a weekly written HW that was only a few problems

Maziar is so kind, supportive, and inspirational. Cal2 never gets boring in his lecture. He guides the class through all theories and give real-life examples. Good sense of humor. Tests are to test students' knowledge only on what has been given in book, HW. I've been struggling with Improper integral for months, now no more with Maziar. Good luck!
