Hard to understand, gets really aggravated when you ask him to repeat something. Tons of group work and individual work. He can be very rude but he will meet with you outside of class if needed.

Comment:

He isn't super hard at all. I missed a few classes and didn't miss much. He explains by reading straight off slides for for the most part. I've only used the textbook for homework assignments and he gives you plenty of time even after the given due date to get your work in. He's super nice and has some pretty good stories if you listen long enough.

I won't even lie this professor is very hard however if you PAY ATTENTION and LISTEN in class you will be fine. Don't do his assignments the night before actually work at them and you'll be fine. He is easy grader on case studies but test are very hard. I personally love his teaching and have taken him 2 times so far! If you want to learn take him!

Comment:

I've taken classes with Professor Moussavi twice, and I enjoyed both tremendously. At first, you are a little intimidated, but if you understand his humor you will be perfectly fine. Dr. Moussavi has a dry sense of humor and thats the best part of his class. Once you pick up on his character, you will enjoy this class. Don't forget to do your work!

Comment:

At first you are intimidated by his accent which is hard to understand, but overall the information he was providing the class was knowledgeable. He reads from the power points every class, but he knows his information and engages the class to remember what hes teaching you. The group project required a lot of patience and working in a group.

Comment:

Professor Moussavi did a wonderful job teaching this past term. I was nervous for his class at first, but then I was able to better understand. I appreciate his teaching methods and believe this class was rewarding. If you attend class and listen, you will be perfectly fine. Don't listen to the others who obviously had some issues.

Comment:

This is the worst professor at Johnson and Wales! He talks in circles all class. He doesn't give you the grade you deserve. He doesn't explain the assignments at all and expects you to do it the way he wants it. He doesn't help you even if you ask questions.

Comment:

This is my second degree and he has got to be one of the worst professors I have ever had! He talks in circles, making no sense. He doesn't explain any of the work and expects you to do it correctly. Then will ridicule you for doing it wrong. Whatever you, don't take him!

Comment:

This professor is one of the worst I have had at Johnson & Wales. Would literally call students stupid for asking questions. Opens up the class by telling his students how he never wanted to be a teacher and still does not enjoy teaching. WORST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS.

I have had this teacher three times. He is a little hard to understand and talks in circles at times. But he has great real world experience in every subject he teaches. He will help you with anything as long as you ask. He will make the time to meet with you. As long as you go everyday and do all of the work you will pass.

this guy is awful. his English grammar is so bad, it makes his lectures and tests incomprehensible. Only take this class if you want to waste 4 hours of your life a week and learn everything on your own.

Professor Moussavi runs a strict class, but if you follow the rules and pay attention to what he says... you will get an A. His assignments are not that hard and you work in groups for everything. As long as your not aa idiot and listen you will do good. Don't listen to some of these other idiots. They obviously do not take school seriuosly! Take h

Comment:

I have had Dr. Moussavi... He is strict, but it is for your benefit, not his, he already has his degree(s)... He does answer questions, but in a manner so that you can arrive to the answer/conclusion for yourself... In other words, the man is a teacher and he does do his job, and does it extremely well... A great professor indeed...
