Comment:

The course structure is a mess but Jahani doesn't make it better. This course is the worst course i have taken in my undergrad. The course has 4 long cases in which only 2 are marked (20% each). No feedback is given unless you ask and he marks hard. No midterm but final was 50%, typed in 2 hours which is definitely not enough time. Killed my GPA.

Comment:

Absolutely Terrible. I understand that the course itself isn't very well structured but Jahani just makes it worse! His lectures are very boring and dragged out. He tries to provide real-life examples but they don't apply to the course. Very unclear within his assignments as he initially asks for one thing but expects otherwise. Overall, BAD!

Boring, doesn't even use a mic. Likes to pick on students to answer his questions during the lecture and makes you feel stupid. AVOID HIM at all costs.

Comment:

Jahani was my first prof at ryerson and i was not impressed. He talks in a monotone voice with no microphone so you cant even here him and he says he wants the class to join in discussion but whenever someone joins in he most likely will say how that point of view is wrong. Would not take his class again you just wont learn anything.

By far the most boring prof to listen to. Very hard to follow and understand. Much better off skipping the lectures and reading the posted slides because that's all he does.

Comment:

Mr. Jahani may be great at his workplace but fails to demonstrate basic teaching skills. He manages to complicate material and most of the time will test you on topics not covered in lecture or by textbook, its ridiculous. I would STRONGLY recommend avoiding Jahani mainly because of his impolite demeanour and his inability to help students.

Comment:

I enjoyed my class with Prof. Jahani and I learned a lot about the subject matter. He is very generous when it comes sharing his knowledge, he provides a lot of real-world examples and he goes beyond what is in the textbook. If you work hard in his class, it will really pay off.

Comment:

He is EXTREMELY boring! Some of his MC questions are stuff not even discussed in class or mentioned in the book. After the final exam most of the class was complaining how his questions were unrelated to anything covered. I wouldn't recommend him.

Comment:

This professor is good, he isn't a hard marker and this is probably one of the easiest courses you'll take in I.T. The only thing that sucks is its on a Friday but there is no exam/midterm, pure assignments and you must show up to class as participation marks are high as you are called on for class discussion.

Comment:

He is a decent prof that genuinely cares about his students. However, his assignments are bogus. They are harder than they need to be and he doesn't give you enough time to complete them. Plus they are hard to understand. Both exams had very unnecessarily tricky questions. You'll pass, but the course is totally useless.

Comment:

His "assignments" are basically advanced level tests on how to use MS Project. Gives complicated scenarios that take more time to understand than it takes to do. He is generally helpful when you ask questions. But the assignment and midterm etc just dont reflect what is being taught.

Treats students like children. Assignments and tests involve excessive pressure and intimidation. Some professionals are taking the course and age/career related comments are not appreciated. Life IS easy but people like him complicate it!

No feed, bad prof, just awful because you wont learn a single thing - but if you want an easy mark go with him and dont ask for an explanation how of you got a certain mark - HE WONT GIVE YOU ONE (so bad)

Straight forward class and easy credit. Do the work and you'll get at least a "B". No midterms or finals for this course, just lots of assignments. There's 10 short learning journals (5-10 min time to write about what you learned each class), individual presentation, 3 case studies and a research paper.

Comment:

The prof is Ok,gives the same questions on midterm and final, but he'll give you INDIVIDUAL marks for the GROUP presentation! Lectures are boring, stay home and read book. Exams are from the book and slides. Simulation game will drive you nuts,but don't expect much help from him. He'll not negotiate your marks and can be rude if you try to push him

Grade 7 history was harder than this class. Jahani isn't a bad guy, he was just very indifferent in this class. Easy credit, disinterested professor. Kinda sums up ITM at Ryerson.
