Comment:

He is the best Professor at Pepperdine. He is very clear in his lectures and expectations. If you study you will get an "A" but you need to put in the work. I would recommend him to anyone who is not lazy. He is a engaging and extremely intelligent. My personal favorite in the Business Program. I learned the most from this professor.

Comment:

Goes on tangents regularly which forces him to skip chapters. Sounds okay, right? No, he puts those chapters on the tests anyways. EVEN IF HE SAYS HE WON'T. A large majority of our class got C's or worse because of his clumsy test writing. Also, the book he assigns is written by his friend and is extremely bland and plagued with grammatical errors.

Great professor. Likes hard workers, hates slackers. If you're not serious don't take this class. Econ is difficult, but Moshiri is hilarious. Enjoyed the class, learned a lot, had fun, earned an A.

Comment:

Either, you like him or you dislike him, alot. He is very passionate about economics. Dont take this course if you're not serious. The textbook is like $100 and you can't get it anywhere else but the student store. Make sure you read. Class consists of 3 major tests, all equal. Not approachable. Worst teacher I've encountered.

He's very nice person. His lecture is short, easy to understand and remember eventhough he has some accent but you'll get used to it. You can get an A if you STUDY.

Comment:

This was my biggest regret at SMC. Ruined my GPA because he doesn't want to teach. He is rude, arrogant, unethical, and won't help you. If you are great at econ and can learn 100% from the book, ok. Old online codes work, don't let him sell you the book he gets a cut from. Book wasn't proof-read and he pushes it hard, even though it's extra credit

SMC is such a joke lol i barely went to class and used all my AP Econ knowledge, destroyed this class got A's on everything its so easy. he's persian and hilarious, the most stubborn person alive though so dont try arguing with him. he gives 7% extra credit to everybody for no reason...awesome.

Comment:

Grade inflation, arrogant, rambling, teacher trying to impress students w/tales of life as an academic. Used photocopied "text" that can't be sold back, was not proofed, and poss penned by friend of his. Did not cover material in depth but claimed "qual over quantity!" and excused us min. 30 mins early every day for 41/2 wks of a 6 wk class. Waste.

Comment:

If you don't like math, this is the class for you. The first day's lecture was really interesting, but then, it became awfully boring because the professor was repetitive and monotonous and I felt like the class lacked a lot of energy. He can't answer questions directly either. In the days I had him, I didn't learn a thing.

Comment:

I never missed any classes with him. I think he sometimes speaks too quickly. Only people with thick skin can ask him questions. He responds demeaningly, or so it seems. I know I never dared ask him anything. He is not boring though, and with this subject, people like him are the exception. Also, sometimes he goes off on rants, I don't mind, but I could tell others would rather not be there when he does. This is one of the classes it really helps to read ahead.

Comment:

I like my Economics class a lot and Shane is a really good professor! He is funny and easy to understand when he gives explanations, he is very enthusiastic about economics. The only thing that keeps Prof. Moshiri from being one of the best is that he has a bit difficulties in understanding and responding to questions. Overall very good though!

Comment:

I think Shane Moshiri is a good professor... He does have quite a sarcastic-style humour - but people shouldn't take his outbursts too seriously. It is quite funny to attend class and there is often a discussion about recent economic developments around the world. Not too hard class but you have to study for tests in order to pass them.
