the quizzes that were basically tests were NOTHING like the homework.. he's not good at teaching at all... please don't take this class is you care about your wellbeing and grades.. however, he does curve if you participate so PLEASE participate

 He thinks everyone understands/thinks your stupid if you don't & pretends to be all nice and ask if you understand but then moves on and says " you got that, its easy right?" when clearly no one answers bc we all lost! A top student, one of my classmates, a great student, who earns mostly A's even he FAILED his class!!! And that says something!

No one understands what he is saying 70% of the time. He never responds to emails. He's never at HIS OWN OFFICE HOURS. He says everyone is wrong but doesn't give any feedback. He gave me a 0 on a problem in which I showed all my work and had the correct answer. According to him, it's wrong since there was no "4 sentence long reasoning."

Don't take his class. The tests were insanely hard and beyond what we learned in lecture. He spends 5-10 minutes on a major concept and tells us to study the rest independently. He also expects us to know everything already. The averages on all the tests were terrible. He embodies the epitome of academic disappointment.

Super touch grader, nobody gets an A on any quizzes, but nobody gets a C either, super tight grade distribution overall.

Honestly people are being dramatic, skill difference i guess. Also seemed to care about students well being, asked us what turns us on during an in class assignment

Super difficult class. The most annoying thing I found was that he is always right. Tests are hard and the only thing you are graded by.

By far the hardest professor that I have had at SCU. His class is weighted 90% on 4 tests all of which the average grade on was an F. He says he does not curve, but he does at the end of the quarter based on your "improvement" throughout the class. His tests are much much much harder than the HW. Whatever you do I would try not to take his class.

Professor Reza cearly knows the material, however his teaching is hard to follow, and his exams are insanely harder compared to other teachers that teach the same course. for my class on the second quiz literally everybody failed the quiz. His test problems are ones that are much harder than any homework or practice problems we saw.

The professor was caring his student, and the lectures is very helpful for learning the content. One thing though is that his quiz are relatively difficult, and his class are not easy to pass but it will get you prepared for the math 13 and future math courses.
