Poor organization of the class, most unbelievable useless lectures I've ever sat through, made lots of assumptions about the students, moved too quickly through topics,

Comment:
Take classes taught by Dr. Adrangi if you want to be inspired. This man is a genius - he can jot down chalkboard long econometric equations from memory. The class is not hard if you have the prerequisites, but don't expect a walkover. Prepare to be challenged especially if you have not taken real calculus. Non-econ/finance/math majors beware.

Comment:
He will make you want to scratch your eyes out. Not clear in the least. It's hard to avoid him, however. He makes small and large errors constantly, does not come to class prepared, and expects students to understand things he admits to not understanding as an undergrad.

Comment:
The best tutor of statistics, I have ever had. Although the class requires considerable efforts to comprehend, the subject is difficult to comprehend anyway. Mr Adrangi does not teach the subject; he helps to abosorb it. I believe that this kind of ability to pass info to students belongs just to only few professors in this world.

Dr. Adrangi is a good prof. He knows econ but has trouble clearly explaining the info to the class. He grades pretty fair on the tests and quizes, as long as you look like you knew what you were doing. I'm passing the class because I'm attentive in class, I visited him in office hours, an I spend 2-4 hours a week in a strictly ECN 120 study group

The man is a god with the bamboo pen and regressions. The correlation between his intelligence and the amount he will blow your mind is highly positive with an r^2 of 1.00

Comment:
Dr. Adrangi was great. Very knowledgable, super smart and very engaging. His Micro Econ class was legendary for being hard but we learned a ton and utilized Excel back in 1996 which I still use everyday now. Very approachable and I saw him a few times after graduating and he remembered me and was great. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Adrangi is great. A little tough to understand, but very smart. We watch a lot of NBR videos to stay updated on current issues and he only shows videos relevant to class topics. He is hilarious and class is fun, but tests are tough.

A tough, but fair professor who is interested in challenging his students. One whom I also believe feels a student needs to be motivated to succeed on their own, because no one holds your hand in the real world.

Bahram was a good teacher. He was clear in his teaching, cracked jokes to keep things interesting, he was always willing to stop and answer questions, he didn't require much reading from the textbook, and he was a relatively lenient grader. The content was confusing at times, but I don't blame him for that. Workload wasn't too bad either.

The professor is really nice and tries to be helpful, but the material was really hard. You must read the book and go to class to get the most out of his class.

One or two math whizzes in the class seemed okay with it. For the rest of us mortals it was worse than torture. I thought I liked econ until I took his class.

THE WORST PROFESSOR THAT I HAVE EVER HAD. HE MAY KNOW THE MATERIAL, BUT MAYBE HE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO TEACH BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO BE A PROFESSOR OF A COLLEGE COURSE. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS BAD PROFESSOR, AND YOU WILL GET A BAD GRADE TO BOOT (UNLESS YOU TEACH YOURSELF).
