Comment:

Honestly, his lectures are pretty straight forward. If you don't understand he will explain but sometimes he doesn't completely understand what you're asking. Just read the text and go to his lectures. He lets you know the section you should skip in the text. Pretty easy overall. Got around 90 in both his classes.

Comment:

I took Macro+Microeconomics with Kamran and I loved his class. Although his exams are super hard, many of his questions are worded in a way to trick you. I enjoyed every lecture, he is one of the best professors at Langara and is very knowledgeable in this field.

Comment:

Funniest Professor ever, you will definitely enjoy his Econ class. The only downside about his class is his tricky tests. The answers to his tests are simple, but worded really awkwardly. You need to read the questions carefully to do well. Overall not a hard course!

The best teacher I've ever had at Langara. He so clear and he knows exactly what he is doing. You have 3 exams weighted equally for the term. exams are OK if you attend the class and study enough. No tricks or stupid questions on exams. You will know exactly what he wants from you in the exams. he is simply PERFECT!

nice teacher and knows what he's talking about. very clear lectures and easy to take down notes. however, your mark will be based on the marks on the 2 midterms and finals - only con that i found to taking the course. cracks random jokes which is nice and keeps it less boring. doesn't use book much, or at all

Comment:

He is a nice guy and knows his stuff. lectures are very clear and materials are very well explained. BUT his exams are very difficult. He would of been perfect if his exams are not so hard. He doesnt give homework or assignments. just each exam worth 33% of the grades. If you want an acceptable grade for his class, you'll have to STUDY VERY HARD!

Comment:

Funny teacher, gets a lot of laughs. Has an accent but still easy to understand. Very clear when explaining material. Examples are good and relatable to the real world. Answers questions well in class. Tests are based on what he's taught in class, good to look in text for further understanding. Still an overall difficult course. Would take again.

Comment:

nice guy, hard exams. MT one was ok, MT two was nice, but I dont know what I did to deserve the final, I studied just as hard. He explains the material very well and clear, notes are great, but the questions on exams are just a whole new level to the ones that he taught in class. no homework, no assignments, just exams, each worth 33.3%. Good luck

Fun and upbeat guy. Exams are hell though, the wording is tricky since he's not great at English and they cover many topics not touched on in class. So having a fun class isn't too useful considering the exams.

Comment:

I took his macro econ this sem. He is a good teacher actually, his explanation was very clear, he also encouraged us to ask him questions. Just like someone said,he doesn't have quizzes or class work stuff, you guys just have 2 midterms and 1 exam, each test covers at least 90% of new material. Unfortunately, he is not a easy marker=[ I got A-.

Comment:

Great prof, took both micro and macro with him. Light workload, only 2 midterms and 1 final. Each carries 1/3 of the grade. Lectures are easy to understand. As long as u show up in class and jot all the notes down, u will do fine. Midterms and final are a bit tricky, have to understand the materials fully. An easy marker tho. Highly recommended!
