Comment:

Farhad is actually a very good teacher. Not the easiest class and should DEFINITELY be taken in person. Go to class and take notes on how he does the problems (they are almost identical to the test questions). Can be difficult to understand at first, but once you get used to it, he's fine. Jokes keep things interesting too.

Comment:

Awful professor to take an online class with. Doesn't seem care about his online students and rarely responds to emails. Don't expect to receive help if you're stuck on a problem with the homework. Avoid this professor if possible.

Comment:

This class is one of the hardest classes I had to take. He tells you from day 1 that if you are a Marketing/Accounting major then you will never use the content of the class ever again, which I was. The tests are very very similar to the HW assigned the week before, just more complex. The lectures will put you to sleep, they are right off the PP.

Comment:

Let me be real clear about this, the second test is HARD. Study for it. He's a great teacher, he tries to make it as easy to understand as possible but the subject is hard. Go to class because he will test you on things that are not in the book.

I did not think he did a good job at teaching at all. I thought the tests were extremely hard. I felt like I might has well have not gone to class and just try to teach myself everything from the book.

Took this as a night class. You need to go to class to get the material down, as he makes some additions to the textbook. Also, if you have a choice, vote for closed book/closed note for the format of the exams. Great professor and was an enjoyable class.

Comment:

He does not cover everything in class that is on the test, so make sure you read EVERYTHING he tells you to. Also there are certain things you must do exactly his way-not the books-or you will lose points. If you are unsure of anything make sure you ask him about it in person. He is very slow about responding to emails. Nice guy.

If you are required to take this class, take him. I've heard horror stories about other professors that teach this class. Do really well on the first three tests, so you do not have to take the comprehensive final.

Good Teacher. sometimes kind of hard to understand but explains everything very well. test are mc and problems. if you study the homework and problems and go to class you will be golden. He goes over problems and homework step by step so that everyone understands. has pop quizzes that are worth extra credit. Overall great time, but can be dry.

Comment:

The professor has a good attitude towards students though he may come off as arragont. This is a tough class, the final was the hardest test. It is a great idea to do the project as it replaces a test score. If you have to find a partner, max partners where 3 for project, extra credit is strongly advisable if you want to receive a decent grade.

His tests are different from the problems he does in class. Found his class interesting but hard to study for because he doesn't really prepare you for a test.

Good luck. His 2nd exam is extremly hard and appears NOTHING like the homework. I got an A but I had to study more for this class than my 600 level courses. His multiple choice kinda sucks to. He is not that great of a teacher but he skips a lot of info compared to the other teachers. Get to drop lowest exam.

He skips out on a lot of information compared tp the others who teach this course. The 2nd exam is hard, the class average was F. Know your vocab well cause its 70% exam. First exam is the easiest. 4 exams and he drops the lowest exam grade. There is also an extra credit project worth up to 30pnts, he grades hard on it to. Boring class!
