I don't doubt that he is very knowleagble. Nevertheless, we weren't able to really understand or hear what he was saying most of the time. I worked by myself. Great class, tough! We learn a lot about how to manage our money.

He was terrible! I did bad on the forst exam and when I went to him for help all he said was to drop the class. Absolutely ridiculous. He often has no clue what hes doing in class. He scribbles on the board and often messes up and wont know how he got his own answers. I dont understand why hes still at IUSB. Avoid at all cost!

Comment:
Exams are the worst. Did well on the quizzes, but once you take the exam its has problems that no one has seen before. And my MC is out of left field! He doesn't tell you want in the chapter is important to study for so all the MC ends up being stuff that you didn't think was important to remember from the reading. Don't expect to understand him.

He is very difficult to understand and follow in class, but he truly wants to help you learn. I found that outlining chapters in the book helped and taking notes on any problems he put on the board and in quizzeshomework helped greatly in exams. I had prior experience on the topics in class, otherwise I probably would have struggled.

Comment:
The key to Dr. Mehran is to ASK for help. He sincerely wants to help. Finance is difficult. The people who seek out answers to their questions will do well. Yes, he has an accent. Yes, he is sometimes hard to understand. But he is a brilliant man who cares, and wants his students to learn. Far better than the apathy I have experienced elsewhere.

Comment:
Dr. Mehran seems to be a very nice guy who cares about the success of his students, but he is not a good instructor. He is very hard to follow in class, his notes he puts on the board made no sense, and he more or less read the books's powerpoint slides to the class. Also, he always said the book was wrong, but never explained. Would not recommend.

Terrible professor. Did not follow along with the book at all. Blamed students for bad attendance when everyone showed up. He was very old and a little out of his mind, really needed to retire. Had a hard time working the overhead projector, the lights, and the blinds.

Comment:
Professor Mehran has no problem interrupting students who have questions. If a student is lost, he is obvious about being annoyed and will be extremely rude. This doesn't make anyone want to participate in class. His tests are near impossible. A slot of the material he puts on the test isn't what you've learned in class nor in the textbook.

Comment:
Dr. Mehran is a great guy, he is just not a great instructor. His accent is a barrier and his exams are infinitely more difficult than his homework assignments and quizzes. I never saw him try to embarrass anyone or bully anyone - I got the feeling he really wanted us all to do well. It is just a tough course and his teaching style doesn't help.

Comment:
I am rating Kohli relative to Mehran, the other permanent finance professor for many finance classes... both are hard, incomprehensible, sometimes mean, etc. The better of the two is: Kohli. Why? Test curves. Both have hard tests. Mehran only gives you a TINY curve no matter what. Also, Mehran alots more points to tests (+ smaller amount of tests)

Comment:
For finance at IUSB you're looking at either Mehran or Kohli. You might get lucky on some classes and have some associate professor who sticks around briefly who may/may not be good. Kohli is the better choice, not because he is so much better but because his curves on tests are MUCH higher. Both have hard finance tests so this is important.

Professor Mehran does a very poor job of teaching anything and seems to enjoy making students feel stupid. I did not learn one thing from this class. Luckily I got a good grade because I was taking Mathematics of Finance at the same time.

Accent hard to understand but if you can get past it he has an abundance of financial knowledge. Beware though, he has no problem embarrassing you or announcing to the whole class who received the lowest grade...so be on your p's and q's!

Doesn't write legibly on chalkboard, scribbles. Also likes to make fools out of students and not good at clarifying ideas. Overall, a poor example for a teacher.
