Heavy accent, tangents frequently, spreads common myths as fact, uses outdated videoes for teaching when he's not lecturing. Generally a gruelling class to go through.

Comment:
95% of lectures are tangents irrelevant to the subject matter, and hard to understand anyway because he speaks so fast. Doesn't answer questions. Get the book if u want to learn the material, otherwise just memorize the study guides and u'll do fine. Gives "video quizzes" where u have to write 20 facts about each video. Final is 30% of ur grade.

*HONEST REVIEW* First, the language barrier represses any intent to listen to his lectures, secondly he goes on tangents about his past (I've heard one story about 20 times now), thirdly, he ''borrows'' his material off other websites, mainly Quizlet, and he gets an attitude if he has to explain something many people struggle with. You'll regret it

Show up to class and take all the video quizzes and use the study guides to prep for the tests and you should get an A. He also gives extra credit opportunity like taking a trip tithe Planetarium and writing a small paper. He always goes off topic however it doesn't really matter because the tests revolve around the study guides. No Cellphones!

I really liked Dr. Khalili. He was a great professor who always had enthusiasm for his subject. He also made us feel like we were smart and capable of learning the subject, even though most of us weren't into it. Honestly, I would take him again if I had to. He's a very fair grader and a really outgoing person. To me, that's a good professor!

He is hard to understand. Gives video quizzes and those are points you cannot lose. The test questions come from the study guides. It's not too bad.

He is very hard to understand. He doesn't explain the material in depth just says, do you get it ... Ok. Then he moves on. Very confused with the lectures and labs, they do not work together. If you want yo actually learn, don't take him. This is for people who already know physics.

Tough Professor. Tests are from material he barely discuss in class and then 10 mc questions for 60 points. Tests are confusing.

I Can't understand a word he says as he has thick accent. It such a waste of time. Tough grader. I dropped the class as I was failing. Take Moltaji as he is easy and you can get an easy A.

Prof. Khalili is genuine and down to earth. He's there to help but can go off topic in lecture (like almost all the time).Very friendly and his quizzes are easy (theyre either 10 facts quizzes on videos or study guide questions) the exams are easy too if you study.

He is great, gentle and cares for his students and wants you to try at the very least. He knows physics is not easy and wants you to learn, but not struggle. If you show you don't care, he will notice, and may affect your grade. You'll get your A if you try and genuinely interested.

He's good for Physics 103, but if you ur taking him for 201, forget it. Half the stuff you need to learn on your own cuz he goes on irrelevant tangents upon tangents in class. Unless you want to teach urself don't bother with this guy

Easy class to pass if you show up. He has a very strong accent and repeats the same jokes, so if you have the patience for that you'll do fine. His test are mimics of his study guides, so if you're looking for a Gen Ed science class I defiantly recommend it.

If you need a Gen. ed take HIM! He is funny and informative but don't let that fool you-he is strict. No cell phones, texting or coming in late because he will toss you from the class! He also busted those who came in late that tried studying in the hall and coming in late. Uses his Powerpoints and take notes, I had the book but don't bother
