By far the worst professor I've had in northeastern's cive department. Not only are his exams long and difficult, he is rude in class and makes students feel bad for asking questions. I regret taking this classCIVE2324 2025-12-18 09:05:19 +0000 UTC
he is a very nice man and very knowledgeable, he wants you to do well. he sets office hours up based on the students schedule and gives many opportunities to ask questions and seek help. exams are okay, there are only two, but they are open book/note and he gives practice materials that very closely reflect the actual exam. good prof and good classCIVE2324 2025-07-04 19:26:49 +0000 UTC
It's a tough class, but he does a great job explaining things. If you ask questions he'll always clarify things, and he does really care about his student's success. The exams are tough and worth most of your grade, but he lets you know exactly what's on them.CIVE2324 2022-12-16 18:58:10 +0000 UTC
Sasani doesn't answer questions. Its just not his style. You'll get yelled at for asking a question. 80% of your grade is 2 exams. Each exam has two questions. Miss one question? You've just lost %20 of you entire course grade. Didn't understand something in class? Well he doesn't have any notes or resources online, and the textbook is useless.CIVE2324 2020-11-06 16:16:07 +0000 UTC
Great professor who sets his lectures up well for each topic so that they are easy to follow and cover main concepts well. HWs are given regularly that cover everything very well and set you up perfectly for exams. Exams are also open notes so make sure to pay attention in class & that ur notes are good. Cover hws well & exams are straight forward!CIVE2324 2019-06-28 16:01:09 +0000 UTC
