Reviews of professor Edris Ebrahimzadeh

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Overall class is fairly simple. You have to pay out of pocket for materials for his final group project. Average cost in our class is $100-200. That's more than the cost of this 1 credit class!

Will move up due dates on assignments without notice. Does not cover material that ends up on homework and tests.

Very hard to understand and doesn't seem to know the material he is teaching. He gives zero prep for his exams and quizzes and really can't explain if you have questions.

I had Edris most recently for calc 3. The difficulty was a little harder than normal but nothing out of the ordinary. I believe that he really did care about his students. He asked for opinion on how the class was going and made changes based on how he thought the class could improve. Would definitely take again.

I understand that this is an entry level class but I honestly think he cares less about the class than the students. Reads directly from his powerpoint, assigns a couple of articles to be read in class, then goes around the room and asks what you learned from a 1 page article and bases 40% of your grade on that. Miss more than a day and you fail.

He's a nice guy, but this class will make you feel like an idiot even if you are good at math. Students can't keep up with his pace and he doesn't explain steps very well when he solves problems. If you don't remember stuff from previous math classes or weren't taught it, he'll say you should already know it and that this class isn't for you.

Bad lectures, tests are only halfway related to the lecture content, and there's tons of unnecessary work outside of class (such as completely teaching yourself the material so he doesn't have to be bothered with that).

Just goes through the problems, and doesnt explain them throughly. When you ask him to explain more in depth get bombarded with questions like "What specific problem", "What specifically about the problem". Went to his office hours and often wasnt there, and although I went often and asked him for help, he wasnt of any help. I relied mostly on YT.

The materials taught in the class are different from the exams. Most of the time I even did not get what he said, lack of communication was totally noticeable. Would never take this again.
