Prof. Navabi always flirted with girls and was completely indifferent to boys and always gave lower grades to boys and used every word and phrase to destroy people's morale.ECE 2022-10-04 15:45:54 +0000 UTC
This guy is absolutely terrible! H didn't smile once during the entire semester. When you pass in the hw., he looks at the clock and if someone is 1 minute late, he doesn't accept it! Takes points off for not doing the hw, instead of just not giving any. The man has no personality, he is terrible teacher and has black outs all the time!UTECE2 2021-06-10 20:49:43 +0000 UTC

Great Prof overall but extremely tough when it comes to exams.Above average homework assignments and hard CAs...you gonna want to attend his class,because you'll fall behind and keeping up by yourself is hard.I had a couple of classes with him in University of Tehran and his classes were very informative.SUM:Killer workload but legit learning.DLD123 2013-05-17 13:09:47 +0000 UTC

dr navabi was my best proffessor he give too much hw but in the last you dont need to study too much for the final exam he is so special i think it worth it to have a class with him!ECECE 2011-01-05 05:52:03 +0000 UTC
he give you a lot of homework and several ca,it needs a lot of time to do them all,if you don't want to study with others and challenge alone with this ****ing course plz and plz don't take this course with him,because i was graded 7 from 20 in the first term and 17 from 20 in the second termDFFD 2011-01-05 02:15:37 +0000 UTC
This guy is terrible. He gave out the midterm term where 3/8 term left and it took him 2 weeks to grade them! He also forced us to buy some $300+ worth FPGA that is readily available in the school lab. AVOID THIS GUY AT ANY COST!EMBEDSYS 2010-09-07 17:37:06 +0000 UTC
Navabi is a great teacher, but very demanding. If you want to cruise by with an easy A this is not the class for you. If you want to learn from a guy who knows his stuff when it comes to digital design, this is your class.ECEU532 2008-08-06 18:15:21 +0000 UTC

One of the best professors I have had at NU. He is able to cover the most material and if you are competent and willing to learn you will do fine. It my seem impossible but by the end you will realize you learned more than you though. Be ready for a lot of work though. Ignore the other reviews.ECE1382 2004-12-03 12:11:10 +0000 UTC
