Student reviews

Prof olia was amazing. Quizzes were super easy 1 multiple choice question and he said exactly what it would be on. Hw doesn't line up with content exactly but was helpful to learn the content. His lectures are clear and easy to understand but still interesting. 100% would recommendME2355 2022-05-02 19:32:23 +0000 UTC

Very nice, good pacing, always does a few examples to drive home concepts. Fair homeworks, fair exams. Only negative was lack of feedback for quizzes and tests.ME2355 2022-01-31 17:40:54 +0000 UTC

Masoud is a true king. Every exam and quiz is based off of the HW problems exactly and he drops the lowest two quizzes and lowest HW. He makes sure the lectures cover all the material in a manner that makes sense. He makes everything extremely straightforward and wants every student to succeed. Final was 7 MC questions and one open ended. Take him!ME2355 2021-05-12 15:25:38 +0000 UTC

This guy is the best, not overly boring lectures, likes to joke. Also makes sure the content in weekly quizzes are specifically covered in the classes leading up to it. Midterm and final are just like multiple quizzes combined.ME2355 2019-11-12 22:40:21 +0000 UTC

An excellent professor! Assigns reasonable homework once a week, and made the 4 quizzes and 3 exams much easier in comparison to the homework. Lectures are interesting and clearly teach the material.ME2355 2018-12-14 00:37:38 +0000 UTC
