Professor Fatemi is a great man to learn History from! Unlike a lot of professors I've had, he actually tells you things that have to do with real life.

I took Western Civ to Reformation with Professor Fatemi. I took his class in the summer so the course was about a month long. We wrote three 1 page papers a week. Watched DVD's once or twice a week and wrote a paper on them. Took 2 tests which were not that bad. He has a great sense of humor and made the lectures very interesting. Great professor.

If you need a history class that is fun with a professor who truly cares choose Professor Fatemi. I have him currently for summer 1 the guy is a genius he has a unfiltered sense of humor which makes his lectures fun. He gives one page papers per week about the subject matter studied in class he is definitely one of favorite professors.

Good, kind hearted man. The class was struggling so he assigned easy assignments for test grades so we could boost our grades. He also always asked me about my injury, nice guy.

Comment:
History isn't really a strong subject for me and he was super helpful and clear during lectures. He only assigned 1 page papers every week and we have a midterm and final. If you can't write essays his tests will be difficult for you because it's strictly writing everything you know about that particular topic. I would recommend.

Had him for History 101 & History 102 this semester. One of the best professors at BCC. Lectures are very informative & the best part is his unfiltered sense of humor which makes him incredibly funny. He's absolutely hilarious & doesn't take himself too seriously like many of the other wannabe Ivy League professors do at BCC. Take him!

Pro. Fatemi is hilarious, great speaker & really knows his stuff! Always has life stories that make class more engaging and his personality is awesome! Midterm & final are so-so; have to study (it IS college) and many one page summary & opinions. Expect to have a great time with him as your instructor.

Comment:
He always mentioned that its the easiest course in the schools history. This put my guard down. Than the first test came in and he mentioned that its the easiest test ill ever give in 50 years. He said that he doesnt read the tests. We all went in unprepared for the test and everybody got a C or worst except for few. I guess he was in a bad mood.

He was very rude to students. He would point you out and make fun of you in front of the entire class. He sometimes doesnt come to class and does not let you know in advance. You have to write 2-3 1 page papers per week and have a midterm and final. I would not recommend him!!!

Comment:
Unlike most professors playing "intellectual," he knows he's not at Harvard & he'll teach accordingly. He finds the most interesting videos to show, his lectures are simple but extremely effective. I forgot almost everything I learned in most classes, but I remember everything he taught. Also, his life reminds me of the Dos Equis commercial guy.

Awesome teacher with a great sense of humor. He was very understanding. Take a lot of notes because all he does is lecture. All his tests are based off his lectures and videos he puts on in class. He also gives weekly assignments that are easy to do. Overall, he is a good teacher and I would recommend him if you are willing to do the work.

he's awesome. his sense of humor may be offensive to some, but he is hilarious. you have 2-3 weekly one page papers, the midterm, and final. he looks for "quality and quantity" in the exams, so make sure you write at least 3-4 pages each question. gives the exam questions a week before the actual exam.

Trust the other ratings: he's fun! His attitude may seem a little rough around the edges, but he knows how to incorporate humor in his lectures! He makes ancient history easy to understand. He gives a paper for or two for students to write each week and a test once in a while, so the work is fairly light. Just be on his good side and you'll be fine

Very good and funny professor. but exams hes a tough grader ! you will have to at least write 5 pages per questions because he looks for quality and quantity. be sure to write good info or else you will get a low grade. other than that you will enjoy this class but its hard to get an A !

the work load over the course of the semester is pretty light, except when you have your midterm and final, both test will demand quite a bit of memorization. Overall he is an excellent professor who brings a great sense of humor to class, take him
