Reviews of professor Alan Farahani

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mr. Farahani is an excellent anthropology professor with field experience. I took this class as a requirement, not being an anthro major myself, but took so much from his class that I almost became one! His lesson plan is clear and his lectures are fun!

I took this class during my last semester at UNLV and I am so happy that Professor Farahani transfered to UNLV!!!! This is one the of best classes I've taken and would highly recommend him for any class. He teaches in a way that is interactive and easy to understand. Also his witty side notes make the material super relevant and relatable

Professor Farahani is a chill dude. He may seem somewhat intimidating at first, but it is only because he is SUPER passionate about his profession and the content he teaches. Don't skip, there's a lot of content and if your exam grade will rely on your notes. Just pay attention, he's super funny and witty and likes to make his lectures engaging.

I genuinely wish every single teacher or professor cared as much as Prof Alan Farahani. School would be an absolute pleasure if I knew I was walking into his class any given day. He always has interesting material (even when he talks about dirt), and he's passionate about what he teaches, and passing on the knowledge to his students.

When I first got to his class, I thought he was going to be mean. But he's actually a really great professor. He actually cares. Show up to class, pay attention, and you'll get a good grade.

Dr. Farahani is perhaps the most helpful and passionate professor I have ever encountered. If you want to learn, he will be there to help. Also, he's extremely knowledgeable on many topics, not just his sub-specialty, which sometimes feels like a rarity at universities.

Very funny and knowledgeable about archaeology. He gives quizzes, but they aren't graded. He specifically tells you what you need to know and have in your notes, and the notes are allowed on all tests. If you miss class, have a friend in the class who you can get the notes from. My favorite class of the semester, and I decided to take him again.
