Reviews of professor Nima Jalali

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This dude is a nice guy but his class is a waste of time. The simulation project is completely unfair - grading your performance based on "simulated data" so you have no control over your grade. Most of his quizzes are on quizlet until later in the semester. He gives study guides but they are basically his lecture slides so they don't help. Run...

I actually enjoyed this class until it came time for the exams - yes, there are multiple, plus a group project/paper.  The exams were not a fair assessment of what was presented in lecture and most students did very poorly.  It's a shame because overall I think this professor is very nice and this class could be great.

This professor was awful. If you can avoid taken, do so. He is not respectful of your time. His lecture is disorganized, ineffective and a waste of your time. He forces too much into one class period and will go over class time. He assigned a ton of work that is pointless busy work. His exams are not fair and unrepresentative of the class lecture.

He is honestly just kinda boring. There is a quiz due on Canvas every week at the same time which aren't bad and give more chances to get a good grade. Lots of group work but not super hard. Tests are 50 questions of multiple choice and true/false, but you do need to study. Attendance is determined by the in-class assignments but only 5% of grade

Task heavy course, it will require a minimum of 15 hours a week out of your business schedule. His instructions and how he grades you do not match; his questions are generally written "in general terms" but he grades hard because you did not answer the question(s) in a specific manner.  I learned very little, to busy with task no time to learn.

Honestly, this guy is really nice and wants you to succeed. He is a little boring when it comes to the lecture and you do need to study for the tests. He genuinely cares about feedback however and curved our tests, changed grades when we were upset, and listened to you if you needed to be absent.
