God, Shahram is honestly my favorite professor at DU so far. He really made excel and R exciting. I have never heard someone in finance refer to lines of code or excel functions as beautiful, but the energy he brought to class made material that could be dry very exciting and fun.

Shahram was the hardest professor I have ever taken. Likes to call students out if they are not paying attention. Takes forever to grade assignments. I didn't know I was failing the class until finals week. He goes over a lot of material during class and goes over it quickly, so pay attention.

The R section of the course was really beneficial and well-taught. The teacher shows a genuine interest in everyone in the class and wants to make sure everyone is paying attention. He is very smart, knowledgeable and funny, and knows what he is talking about.

Shahram is super fast paced, but this has been hands down one of the most useful courses that I have taken in the finance department. The inclusion of R is also a huge plus and, in my opinion, it should be a mandatory part of this course despite who the professor may be.

Professor Shahram is a consummate professional with a true mastery of finance and economics. I felt everything he was saying was of such importance, highly applicable, and critical to the success of finance professionals. The course is demanding and requires a ton of work.

Shahram is a must have professor. Lectures move fast and every second is valuable. He will take weeks to grade assignments, but the content is much more important. There's no time to lose focus in class but with how engaging he is, you'll be captivated. He understands his content thoroughly and makes for an excellent instructor.
