Comment:

Hooman is definitely the funniest professor I've met. His lectures sometimes don't make any sense at all, so I recommend you have some knowledge about calc. If you love soccer, he'll like you, if you don't, you should probably star watching it. Also, become friend with people in your class, it will help, trust.

Comment:

interesting professor, makes jokes and shows up late almost everyday. lectures never made any sense -- spent a lot of time deriving formulas and explaining concepts in random ways. if you've taken calc before that helps a lot. doing the hw helps clears up concepts & quizzes/review before tests tell you exactly what questions you'll see on exams

Comment:

he hands you sets of homeworks and procrastinates in giving tests until the very end of the semester. he gives reviews but the context and material in tests have nothing to do with what he teaches in class. doesnt do enough examples in class which makes it extremely hard to solve homeworks.

Comment:

If you actually want to learn calculus, then don't take this class. His lectures don't make any sense and he doesn't teach you anything. I took calculus before college, so I already knew some of the stuff. His office hours are bad. Do not take this class.

Of all the LMU professors and teachers I've had in my life he is by far the WORST. Do not take this class. His lectures are all over the place and he makes topics that are not hard to understand IMPOSSIBLE. This is not a hard class but he makes it hard as his teaching style is awful. Super wack.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I believe I am very academic, but he quizzes you on things he doesnt even teach in class. He's very hard to follow too. Trust me avoid him

I showed up to this class 3 times, the first class, the midterm, and the final. There is 0 homework, attendance is not taken, and all tests are take home. It wasn't even a class, I didn't learn a single thing and got an A.

Nice guy, good sense of humor. Really does try to help you pass if you arent doing well in class. Teaching wise, hes bad. He tends to get caught up lecturing about theorems, & then half way through, hell try to do an example. Classes zone out a lot, & sometimes they snooze. If he taught more basic & simple examples, it would help a lot more.

Comment:

He's a nice guy but his lectures don't make any sense. He gives the most roundabout explanations and it doesn't make sense. He could just show you how to do the problems but he starts proving the concept and then halfway through will start solving the problem. Honestly his class is a disaster and I wouldn't recommend besides he is chill

Comment:

He teaches in theories and the why behind math, not really the how. I mostly taught myself in this course, but he let you knew what type of q's would be on the test. Easy grader, homework due in sets (DON'T PROCRASTINATE). Deadlines were always pushed back if students asked during class. Chill guy, just very confusing.

Comment:

An absolutely terrible teacher. Spent the majority of class time chatting with students or rambling about unrelated subjects. At the times when he did end up talking about Calculus, he gave the most confusing roundabout explanations, often even ending up with wrong answer. Ended up learning out of the book for the majority of the year.

Comment:

Oh Hooman. I took math 120 with him which is a pre-calc class. The test average is a 55% in a PRE-CALC CLASS. He makes everything a million times harder than it needs to be "for the sake of higher understanding". There are 3 tests, a final and 5 homework assignments. You can skate through this one but I'd avoid it if you're trying to actually learn

Comment:

Does not explain concepts, simply states that they exist, and then proceeds to derive them from other equations. Does not care if you come to class, but often playfully makes fun of students and often wastes time with jokes. Very lenient towards pushing back tests and HW. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH MATH EVEN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

Really sincere and caring teacher. He was one of my favorite professors at LMU for sure. He wants people to do well in his class and is happy to go over any difficult concepts after class. I definitely would take him again.

My main man Hooman!! Funny guy but not the best professor, rambles around and cracks jokes all the time. Lessons are random and all over the place. Very helpful with questions and during office hours! Overall a decent professor, I'd take hime again

Confusing teacher. His board work/notes hardly relate to the homework so there's a lot of self study and your notes may not get used. You don't have to show up if you don't want. Review sheets don't match up with the tests.
