Comment:

Best math teacher I've ever had. I hate math, I've never understood it. I still hate math, but he presented the material in a way that I could atleast memorize and regurgitate on tests. He makes it extremely easy to do well. Even if you hate math and have always done poorly in math classes, you will be able do well in his class.

Mr. Shirazi makes math fun and easy. If you are looking for an easy A (or B if you are really bad at math) then this is the course for you.

He's super nice. He rarely gives homework and when he does it is one problem. He likes for you to succeed. Take his class! (unless you are a mth major)

Best math class I've ever taken. I am really bad in math, but Shirazi presents the material in a way that makes it very easy to understand. Plus, it is very easy and basic math to begin with. No homework, easy tests....go to class and you'll be fine.

Awsome accent that you can understand. Really reasy class for those of you just lookin' for the goal requirement. Straight-forward and to the point-Good Teacher, and helpful if you don't understand(but you will so don't worry). Class is mind-numbing though bc you had all the material in like the 7th grade. Take em'!

Love this guy! Don't take this class if you need mental stimulation or you genuinely love math, but if you're looking for an easy A, this is the one.

Comment:

O.k, so the material is easy but his "teaching" style of assuming students already knew the material made things harder. He really never taught but just presented the material. This course taught me nothing but to rely on myself.

I hate math and did well in this class. You get points for turning in homework and attending class. Its very tempting to skip, but the points at the end are worth it. :)

Comment:

Best teacher I ever had. He could explain the human genome in ten minutes and everyone in the room would understand it. And he said theta (tata) funny. His accent is reason enough to take him. It's completely understandable but it's just so funny.

He is very clear and willing to help. His tests come straight from the practice tests he gives out the class before the test. Very little homework to turn in and a fun guy. His accent made me laugh :).

Comment:

his accent is fun, he always has a smirk when he insists that everybody loves polynomials...when he says pie-theta it sounds like potatoe so go on a full stomach or you get hungry...look forward to an A unless you've been called "unique" all you

Comment:

If you took calc in high school, his class is a pleasure! You will probably never even touch the book. Very little hw to turn in. Tests problems are similar to those given as examples in class. I have his night class and we usually leave 15 min early!
