Poor at communicating, can't keep a coherent trail of thought, barely keeps up with the schedule: Hengameh is indeed mediocre at best.

The only reason shes even hired is because her husband was a department chair. Never take courses with her. She just reads from slides and only engages with a few of her favourites in class.

She is a good choice if you are doing good in computer science. She listens to the students and helps them. Assignments can be hard, but what else do you expect in computer science. Try your best, take assignments seriously, you are not going to fail.

Comment:

Not bad but not amazing either, you get lab assignments every class which were very trivial if you just memorize the tag elements. I'd recommend attending every class even though the majority of the lecture is useless there is a few things she says that are helpful and you'll definitely want to ask questions about the lab assignment.

Comment:

best teacher ever if you are looking to waste your 4 months............. I was wondering who made her the professor even she don't know teaching skill and even students were rectifying her in concepts which she was telling wrong. She doesn't know how to teach and interact with students . Only revolve around those students who revolve around her.

Comment:

She is one worst teacher I have ever had in Langara. Initially she was good, but then she became less helpful and I think her only goal is to mark the papers not to help and teach the students. Don't even think to take her class.

Comment:

Hengemeh is an excellent instructor and very knowledgeable in the subject matter. She is extremely patient and willing to spend time explaining concepts. She is a tough marker as others have suggested, but programming is a difficult subject and I feel her style of teaching will prepare her students for the real world.

Hengemeh Hamavand is one of the best instructor in Langara. She can make very hard problem to easy and let you totally participate to the class environment. I took CPSC1030 CPSC2221 with her 2015summer semester. I enjoyed her course and it was the best time. If she teaches any course you need in that semester highly recommend.

Comment:

she knows her stuff in cpsc, but she also has an accent, writes on the board small, assignments sometimes vague, and feel she has a know it all attitude that expects you to know it, when you are still learning. Go over ppt in class, assignments each class, and a project theres a lab assistant someone not in Computers learning htmlcss good luck.

Comment:

She is very approachable and willing to help but attending class was pointless from my perspective. She reads her powerpoint word for word and does not provide clear examples. I stopped attending class on a regular basis and relied purely on the textbook which was significantly clearer than her.
