Comment:
Dr. D is chill and funny but a little disorganized (giving major feedback right before an assignment is due, syllabus delayed). There's a lot of material on the exam that's not covered in class and sometimes parts of lecture are not relevant and feels like a poor use of time but you can negotiate your grades but he's good in the rest of the areas.

Farhad cares about his students. He's not there to make you fail or be overly difficult. He motivates you to do well and reach your full potential. His lectures are engaging and you need to attend them. His exams are clear and he's a fair marker. He's very tech savvy and on trend. No need for textbook as he provides all that material.

He gives great lectures that are easy to follow. He set up study groups to help succeed at tests, which goes above his call of duty. He is very approachable and informative. I hope to be able to take other classes of his in the future!

The best prof I have had so far. His lectures are engaging, and you will walk out of the class with a different outlook. The tests are beyond fair, as long as you listen to his lectures, and read the textbook I can guarantee you will get the grade you want. This is a prof who inspires students, I would recommend anyone to take a class from Dr. D.

I'm taking Special Topics with Farhad, it's a new course he's teaching so he's working out the kinks which comes across as him seeming disorganized. There are 3 big projects due and one final, everything is due in the last two weeks of the semester not giving you the opportunity to withdraw if required. He's really caring. Gives last min assignment

Easy class, free textbook via online website he provides. Great professor with interesting lectures. Isn't on top of handing back marks from tests however.

Awesome prof! You can tell he actually cares and knows what he is talking about. He used a free online textbook and his tests were all based off his notes and the textbook. There is a bit of reading but super straight forward. Overall got an a+ and barely had to try

I took perception with him before. It was so hard since I was required to do the readings and his lectures to get a good grade. This class is only about projects and his lectures.

Overall great experience. Would take again. Extremely understanding towards projects. Friendly and helpful. Sometimes doesn't make good use of class time and gets off topic during lectures but is able to make lectures fun and exciting. Recommend!! :)

Overall he is a very outgoing, funny and kind prof. I personally feel that his lectures have no relevance to anything we learn. Plus he doesn't even tell you what is going to be on the exam. Be prepared to know your textbook inside out because anything and everything can be on it. Also his psych class is more like a biology class. Good luck :)

He is someone who actually engages in conversations with the students, and makes the everyday lifestyle of us all get incorporated with the lectures for a better understanding. I highly recommend him; he's amazing!

makes u want to go to class and its actually fun and entertaining and you don't zone out after a few mins. seriously amazing. only problem i would say is although he teaches well, hes so laid back and funny i thought none of the info was actually relevant to anything and we were just talking bout random stuff. still the best prof at kwantlen.

He gives you 3 exams & 1 group project (super easy marker. I would say honestly all of his tests were challenging & make sure you watch his videos because he puts questions in the multiple choice. Use his notes as a guide but study the textbook- its quite heavy on the biology content. He gives out a lot of bonus! Also his final isn't cumulative!!

Best teacher ever! Class was never boring and he talked to us like we were his equals, which i personally liked. Tests were super simple, based off of notes and textbook. One research paper, 2 exams, and 1 group project. such an easy class! i loved it.

Not very clear in what he wants. Exams are fair, challenging. 2 exams, 1 oral presentation along with a paper. Not clear in guidelines, but gives you freedom to choose what you want to do. Makes class interesting though
