Great, young highly motivated and passionate professor. He tries different methods to see what works best for the class. Some other students think the class is disorganized, since they don't appreciate that he is trying to do the best customized lecture for the audience in each course. He explains the stuff until he is sure everybody got it.

I honestly don't understand the negative reviews. I had him both last semester and now again. He does a great job explaining complex concepts as easy and intuitive as possible. He uses this semester online assignments which is very helpful to practice and get the concepts better. He grades very fair, cares about students and keeps us entertained.

Funny, caring and a good teacher.

I had Ahmad at the end of an 8 hour school day, and i was never bored or tired in his classes. He has a odd way of teaching, but in a good way. He will keep you on your toes, and does a lot of anecdotes from his life, which is really nice. It gives you an idea, of how it is in the real world. And also lighten up the mood in class.

Great professor, smart guy find interesting ways to explain everything and has good real world examples for everything. If you're an econ major i recommend taking him

I am pretty sure those people who say his class is difficult, hardly do anything for school. I wrote today the same exam and it was definitely not too difficult. He allowed us using cheat sheet, we got a homewrok after every chapter, and he was very helpful and patient everytime I visited him in his office. I couldn't ask for more!

Very personable. Highly recommended!

He's simply awesome, and he grades fair.

I showed up regularly to the classes, did the homework assignments, studied and got an A. Every time I had a question, he took his time and answered the questions. The lectures were fun and insightful. I emailed him three times, he responded every time quick and respectfully. I couldn't ask for more!

I had both Econ310 and Econ333 with him. The classes have similar contents and he taught both classes the same style. In Econ 310, you could tell that students don't care and don't study (in opposite to Ec333), and a few students were complaining about him. In Econ333 everybody loved him! He is one of the BEST professors I ever had!

Professor Saboori is great. You need to attend class. Hes really funny, but will go on tangents. If you need more examples for a concept or problem, you need to stop him in class and ask him. He will go over it again. Lastly, go to his office hours! Sometimes hell give you tea!

Nice, funny guy, always available during office hours if you have any doubts. Takes attendance randomly. Always posts the slides. There is a small curve for every test.

He is amazing Prof, always has good examples to explain everything.

I like this professor as a person, but this class was not my favorite. The subject is very easy but pretty boring so it made it hard for me to get an A because I was not interested. I high B's on every test, A's on all the homework and I ended up with a B in the class because the homework only counted for like 10 points.

He's my absolute favorite econ professor.

Really good professor overall, he is very funny and has a lot of real life examples and knowledge, he has travelled to many places around the world. Really outgoing teacher and easy to talk to. He has a small accent but he his very understandable. He lets students engage in conversations in class and answers any questions you might have. Take him.

He is the friendliest professor I had. The lectures were really fun. We had presentations in the last two weeks. We had the option to send him an email explaining what we are planning to do after graduation, and then he was giving a topic that is more relevant toward the aimed career. Have never had a professor who was more caring than that.

Saboori is by far my favorite professor At CSULB. He has experienced the world and can give great examples that relate to the lectures. He will randomly take attendance, so make sure youre there as attendance is worth 10% of your grade in.

I loved his classes. He was keeping them interesting by having a mix of lectures, presentations and discussions. He takes attendance randomly. He announced on the first day that there will be no study guide, which was really ok as it was clear what chapters will be on the exam. Our book was $60. I was there in every class and passed with an A.

I had several classes with him in the past 2 years. I loved all his classes and he was doing a fantastic job. Last semester, after he lost a family member, he was a little out of track in the last weeks, which is reflected in the recent negativ reviews. I think those comments are not fair. He is a very dedicated and entertaining professor.

Although it was his first time teaching the class, he did a good job at delivering the content of the syllabus and relating it to real life. I appreciate the fact that he was able to relate the statistical concepts to real world examples. I learned a lot!

Saboori is better than what most people are saying in these bad comments. Yes he tends to be little unorganized and dates for submitting assignents and turnng stuff in are tentative only because hes willing to work with the students to get a date best for them. Practice problems in back of book and ull be fine

Dr. Saboori is an excellent Professor. Even though teaching this class for the first time, he did a really great job. He really cares about us understanding the material. Whenever he saw us having problems understanding the class he reacted instantly and did something innovative that, for the most part, helped a lot. He's really funny too.

Professor Saboori is among the best and most caring professors I ever had. He was teaching the class for the first time and he was asking us for feedback. What I like most was that he always reacted on the feedback and you could see the changes in the next week already. I learned so much from him. I wish CSULB would have more professors like him!

We use two books, both are really interesting. He understands to combine his travel experiences into the class material, which is very helpful for understanding the problems of developing countries and makes the class entertaining. We just got into the more theoretical parts of the lecture, but so far he did a explained the material really great.

Dr. Saboori is simply great. He takes time to explain the concepts, gives us motivating examples from real world life to make the concepts more tangible, he does practice exercises in the class to make sure we understand the concept, he is funny, motivated and goofy (in a good way). Just follow his instructions and it's quite easy to get an A.

I took Dr Saboori during the Corona Semester and the class switched in the middle of the semester from an in-person class to online class. He was a great professor in the in-person classes and online classes. He even made a YouTube channel to create videos for us on top of Zoom-classes. If you follow his instructions it is easy to get an A.

You know I use to think bad about this professor, but looking back at when I took 380 he is super chill. Super cool guy after having other econ teachers I would much rather take a class with this professor. This guy deserves way more credit he does go off topic a lot but at least it's not super boring. Would recommend.

Caring professor and always nice to students. Read the PPT and the book to do good on exams. Class is lecture and then goes over problems from the textbook for participation. Never mean or rude to my class so idk what the other reviews are talking about. Brought guest speakers to my class during Zoom. Fair Grader on exams. Not too many assignments

If you think he is not good, you are not paying attention to the class and don't want to study. He makes every effort to make the class easy for students to pass. Despite his efforts, there were students who were complaining to the dean about him because of minor issues. I could have gotten an A, but because of my classmates attitude, I got a B.

Don't think about it. Just take him. Great professor!

Great Person, great Professor, interesting lecture. He tried to make every lecture exciting, whether with group discussions, in class assignments, examples or something funny. I couldn't ask for more.

I had Professor saboori a few years back in his money and banking class. Over the years, as time passed, I realized more and more how many useful topics I learned from him that ended up being so useful in my life and career. I wish I could see him to say thanks.

The course is already confusing but he will help you if you ask. Funny and listens to your concerns.

I don't understand all the hate against him. He canceled a few classes because he lost a loved one, but I admired how he showed up with a smile on his face to every class despite all that. Later he got so sick that he could barely speak without coughing, so he switched few sessions online and taught us as best as possible given the circumstances.

I don't get all the hate. He actually cares about his students and tries his best to help everyone out. His exams, quizzes and homework are not hard at all. If you just listen in class you probably won't have to put much effort into studying. He's willing to include wishes/feedback of his students in future classes which makes it way more enjoyable

Our semester just ended. I showed up to classes, did the homework and studied for the test. Relatively easy A. He communicates a lot through canvas. Great professor.

There were extra homeworks that could be done. Lectures were fun overall. He knows his stuff and answer questions rather thoroughly. Thumbs up.

Great professor. Lecture hall is huge, so it helps to sit further in the front. Extra credits. Very knowledgeable person.

The hate is from slackers who didnt show up to lectures unless they had to. He's very knowledgable and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. if you actually try; you will leave educated and able to identify concepts taught in the real world. Provides slides for each chapter. Offers extra credit and tutoring & his TA tutors. Curves exams

Prof. Saboori is a great econ professor. He knows his econ stuff but lectures can get boring pretty quick if you're not that interested with what's being taught. He also goes around the room and ask people about their opinion. He will allow a cheat sheet for exam if you ask about it so make sure to ask!!

If you do well on all of the homework it is very hard to get bellow a B in his class. All of the tests are curved, and he drops your lowest test score but there is a weird criteria if you want your final to be dropped. To have your final dropped you have to get within 10% of your lowest score.

Great professor. Great vibes in the class. He definitely listens to suggestion. Would definitely take him again.

To get an A in his class all you really have to do is attend the lectures. The homework is very similar to the content on the test, and he often curves them. He relates the material to things going on in real life which at least to me made it easier to conceptualize.

Really great professor. He advised in the beginning of the semester to do all homeworks and come to the classes to pass with a good grade. I just followed his advise and got an A. It was important that I did the bonus point assignments as well (pushed my grade from a B to an A). His lectures are fun and he gives treats to encourage participation.

The problem is the class that I took was once a week at 7pm and at that point no one is retaining the information he's teaching. He's detailed and always asks if anyone has questions. He's a nice guy but if you're late you'll only get a 80 percent max for attendance no matter the reason. Tests r tough but he curves them alot. Overall I liked him.

He was great! I don't understand the hater who posts 3 reviews, lol. prof posted guide 2-3 weeks before exam date, he gave a ton of bonus points (I collected almost 60 bonus points!). He even provided a 15 question version of final exam for practice. He included students in class and gave even treats. He was inclusive, respectful and fun. Take him!
