Comment:
ATTENDANCE IS EXTREMELY MADATORY. The TAs memorize your face and if you didnt attend and your friend signed your name, they mark you absent. The Prof is very judgemental and sticks to his opinion and argues with you, although he says that he allows discussion but its not true. Beware. I found the content interesting but not with this prof.

Professor Rahnema is amazing! His lectures were so amazing and you learned so much! He does not use any powerpoints so keeping up with the notes was a little difficult, and it was very reading heavy. The class was great though and the professor and his TA are very understanding. Would definitely recommend this class.

He is an amazing professor. The class itself is fast pace, and note taking is hard, but very worth it at the end of lecture. You should be in as many lectures as possible, but he is a very reasonable man, either way. Take this class, even if you know nothing about the topic, you will learn a lot by the last lecture, at least I know I did.

He was the best professor! He was the most engaging professor I've ever had. He wasn't impartial, but he encouraged discussion and critical thinking.

Saeed is a very knowledgeable individual and does his best to impart that knowledge to his students. However it can hardly be said that he is neutral, though he allows students to speak their mind and your political difference does not affect your grade.

AMAZING professor and AMAZING class. This course taught me more than any other class has. It was very informative and I feel a lot more educated and aware. Professor Rahnema is a fantastic guy. There is quite a lot of reading to do in my opinion, but it's manageable. I definitely recommend this class, you won't regret it!

Comment:
Saaed Rahnema is not a professor; he is a Teacher. He is a veteran of revolution who shares what he knows with young people, because he's never stopped believing or caring or fighting. He will joke and ramble and wander off topic, and you will learn more than you would from a studiously prepared lecture by a lesser mind. So, come and learn.

Such a wonderful professor & very accomplished academically. If you are interested in the middle-east, his class is an absolute must--no doubt. You will learn a lot in his class. marking is very fair. if you do readings and attend most lectures, you should at least get a B+. course load is not very heavy. highly recommended!

Professor Rahnema is the BEST Professor I have had the pleasure of having during my undergrad and grad years. He is brilliant, engaging, supportive, and not simply a professor but an educator who cares for his students. I would not be where I am today without Dr. Rahnema!

this course is extremely interesting. Deals with highly politicized and controversial subjects but he manages to remain unbiased about the subjects. He has a good sense of humour. Would definitely recommend taking courses with him.
