He isn't as bad as people make him out to be. If anything he explains concepts very clearly. There is a lot of math which I wasn't expecting, but once you understand that, you are fine. He is very understanding and became more lenient with grading and fixed his grading policy based on students' reactions. You should show up in person regardless!2316 2024-07-30 14:54:41 +0000 UTC
He rambles a lot and is very confusing. He greatly relies on his slides yet he never posts them before lectures. The materials are all very ineaccesible and he does not make much sense when lecturing. He also relies a lot on his grader and never goes over the previous homeworks in class.1916 2024-04-17 19:19:00 +0000 UTC
Nice dude but so disorganized lol. Survived from self studying. Hes pretty skillful at making simple concepts confusing. You're gonna need to put some effort outside class and don't do the hws right before the deadline.1116 2024-04-11 19:00:29 +0000 UTC
If you are ready to survive, then please be ready to stay up late on this. The homework is extremely difficult.2316 2024-03-18 19:25:49 +0000 UTC
Professor Heydari's class itself was challenging but he was extremely easy to reach out to out of class via office hours or email. He is extremely caring for his students although he is stern with his guidelines and grading. His tests are extremely similar to the homework as he prepares us well for the exams. All in all, he is a great teacher!1116 2023-12-16 03:30:25 +0000 UTC
I love his teaching style. Writes notes with the class, which helps a lot with understanding concepts. He also posts his lectures and notes, which makes reviewing very easy. It is a challenging class, but he explains everything thoroughly. It is a class in which you will actually learn things. Loved him!2316 2024-02-24 05:23:13 +0000 UTC
