very nice and friendly

Professor Zahedani is a cool teacher. He is always willing to go out of his way to help you with things you dont understand in class. He has a sense of humor which makes this rather boring subject worth showing up for class. Overall, great teacher.

humourous and clear

how can anyone think this class is hard? It's so easy. he posts the tests he gave years before and explains everything that will be on the exam thoroughly. Attendance is optional but he's pretty funny and it makes it worth your while.

Zahedani is a good teacher. He's repetitive but it's helpful when trying to remember. I found my notes to be more helpful than the book. He grades on a curve which helped me out alot. Class is optional if you're down to study.

People who are posting saying they can't understand him are just silly, or ****s. After about 10 minutes you should have no trouble understanding him unless _you_ are retarded. He uses a GREAT curve so you have no excuse having less than a B- in this class. I got an A and all I did was GO TO CLASS AND LISTEN, and skim chapters lightly.

amazing professor. very intelligent and well spoken. i highly recommend his class.

Awesome teacher. Curves tests an amazing amount (45 was still a C) and says on the final that if you at least get a CURVED C he will pass you in the class. Really nice guy too and keeps class interesting with his stories. Definelty recommended!

this guy is funny, his graphs make sense although he doesnt do that great of a job explaining the reason for things, go to class, rewrite your notes, study the practice exams, and understand the material before the tests. midterms are fill in, final was easier, if you do what i say, you MIGHT get an a, j/k you will unless you're dumb

A really nice guy who is there to teach. He gives pretty good lectures and is able to keep your interest most of the time. He curves the test enough to where my friend thought she got an F for sure so she didnt take the final and still got a D. He puts up a practice midterm which are pretty much the same as the midterm. Take notes, no book needed.

Great teacher if you are not too interested in economics, but still want to learn! teaches in a very easily undertandable way, and tries to make the class into something a bit more fun than just drawing graphs and learing terms. Pretty easy tests, if you are in school to learn that is.

funny and smart guy! i love the way he curves a lot, even though he grades hard. the first and second exams are based on short essay.do your best to write down what you know. try to do the extra credit, if he provides. must show up before the exam day because he always reviews. read the book! his lecture is very close to the book. nice teacher

if you follow the lectures you will do just fine especially with his great curve

This was my favorite class. As long as you read the text book you are guaranteed an A in the class. Go to class day before exam. attendance is not mandatory but if you go you will understand the reading in the book much better..TAKE THIS TEACHER

He goes the book a lot so make sure you read. The test are wordy but as long as you attend class and read you will be okay. Plus there is a huge curve!

This teacher is really nice, but his class is pretty difficult and confusing most of the time,despite that, you can probably still pass because he curves a lot! Take his class if you think you might not have econ as one of your strong points.

Professor Zahedani is a very smart man. He has been all over the world and gives true-to-life examples in his lectures. Textbook usage is heavy, but manageable [you're not in college to get by easy]. Highly recommended.

Zahedani is an awesome guy. He's been all over the world and is very insightful. He's also quite hilarious. A highly curved class which is always nice. He has 2 midterms, a quiz, 2 short essays, and a final test. He really knows his stuff, just make sure you don't fall asleep, you can get lost easily and have to make it up through lots of reading.

A good Econ class with a very experienced teacher. Gets off topic sometimes but is funny to listen to. I believe his multiple choice exams are harder than his problems solving ones. Read the book and attend class often and you will do fine. Grades on a curve like no other.

A very smart individual. The class is easy due to the curve/students that dont try. The text book I had was very well written, and came in handy for mgmt 407. So Zahedahi if your reading this dont swith books, stick with krugman.

Prof. Zahedani is a good teacher. He would try to make jokes and sometimes they'd be funny, at least he tried. The book is IMPORTANT, read it and attend lectures and you'll be fine. He CURVES like crazy~!!! Make yourself standout to him, let him know your name, get friendly, he seems to like that. I RECOMMEND HIM

I despise economics with my entire being, but I still managed to get a B+ in this class. I suppose I put forth a slight effort, but it was just too much at 8:00 AM. He's a great professor and very interested in the topic. I recommend him for those interested in economics or even you're simply trying to get a GE course out of the way.

He knows what he talks about. He looks at leading indicators and at times shares his ideas about the global economy. He inspires students to buy and read the wallstreet, even if you glance at it. This is a Class, Not teacher, that you will need for the rest of your life, and this PROF. does an excellent job at giving you the information that you wi

I could not disagree more with most of these comments. Yes the exams are hard but could be done fairly well if you read the text and go to class! He doesn't take attendance but go anyway! The way he lectures is fun because he's a pretty funny guy! Huge curve and extra credit! Economics is a very usefull course and Zahadani explains it pretty well.

People are too hard on this guy! I love him! So funny and very interesting. The tests are hard if you dont go to class...go to class and read the book and the class is cake. Once you start to understand reading the paper is so much more enjoyable!

This professor is easy. I got an A in this class with no problem. Sure half the class's grade revolves around C and D, thats only because half the class dont come to class. He covers the important points of his exams in his lectures, so if you dont go to his class, it is only logical that you get a bad grade. Read your book and go to class.

Hes good

The bad: he's often tardy, tends to go off on tangents, the tests are tough. The good: he's really brilliant and loves his subject, the classes cover everything you need to know for exams, and sometimes he's funny. "Maybe Sarah Palin thinks Africa is a country because she took only multiple choice exams at her many universities." :)

I took him for both 101 and 100. Hes teaching style is different and maybe hard to understand for slackers. but he is brilliant. his exams are hard, but he does tell you 100times (or more) exactly whats gonna be in it. Read the book before you go to class and you will have no problem. He will make sure everyone passes! he curves like crazy 40% a C!

He is very good on both teaching and personality indeed. He has passion to his job and the subject "Economy". I did learn at his class, but required reading the book and some research. He wants you to read WSJ but I found it not necessary for HW or exam.

He knows his material. Some times he jumps around places and he's quite fast, but if you do your reading, you'll be fine. His tests are not multiple choice, but more technical. It's easy if you just go to class. This is a class where you get how much you put in. If you want a fly-by class, don't take this one.

Zahedani was an awesome guy but his teaching style was difficult to deal with. I ended up with a C+ in his class even with studying and office hours. We did two midterms, one quiz, and one final. None of which were easy. However, he has a huge curve, cause I got a 58 once and he gave me a B-. Overall, you can take him, but trust me it will be hard.

First of all, he has an accent. If you can get past that, he is pretty funny and extremely knowledgeable. His tests were all essay when I took the class which definitely went in my favor, and as some others have stated - he curves generously. If you read the book, go to class and study diligently, you will get an A. Guaranteed.

This class was an excellent introduction of economics. In fact, I changed my major to it afterwards. It is not the most interesting class you can take in economics but it beats 100 and 101. His standards are higher than most SFSU lecturers and you are held responsible for knowing the material.
