Works in the field and knows a lot about the subject. Always willing to help if you have ?'s.
Great teacher, kinda hard to understand, but he will help you with anything you need
He's a nice guy and will help you if you need help. His tests are either take home or open book..but he'll start getting mad at the class if they don't show up to class..the project he gives takes soo much time!! oh, and make sure you do the hw!!
Pretty easy class. A lot of work. Semester projects. As long as you put in the time and effort, you will do well. Very smart guy.
Awesome class! He explains everything clearly and makes sure the class understands. Set aside time for class projects, they take awhile to compile. Test are open book or take home!
Overall a very good instructor. just don't get behind in the class. He has stopped giving open book/take home tests.
Not a great teacher at all!! Very boring class. He is very hard to understand. Avoid him
a great summer class! boring, but you get the grade you need. Very willing to work with a busy students schedule.
Great teacher and a dry subject. Makes sure students understand the subject. Works too hard in the class, doesn't stop until students stop asking questions.
one of THE nicest guys ever. I never came, never studied, understood nothing, expected to fail, etc, and i still passed. how i did beats me. but nice guy and he really wants you to understand the subject. one of those teachers who knows their stuff and likes teaching, but isnt the best at it. if you want to learn, take someone else.
An excellent instructor. I got 2 promotions as a result of his classes. Learned a lot. However, he does not joke around. Great guy, and class, treats students like adults not HS students.
This is the best man to be teaching speech. He really knows how to make you comfortable. You just do it. Business majors should take his class, you will learn so much. Just take his advice and follow the calss, do HW and .... I wish he would teach more business classes.
Far and away the best teacher I have had, any school, in accounting. Is able to teach the basics for beginners while adding advanced topics for people with plenty of prior knowledge (like me). Interesting, helpful, patient, reasonable. Good grading policy, clear expectations. Thanks!
A very good class in investment. Lots of reading (book and Project materials), but lectures dug very deep into analyzing material and made you think. I learned so much about investment, specially through the project. He's helpful, and although there were a lot of work for the project, they were relevant , analytical, and boaring, but useful. A!
Great Teach. Hard worker, but gooood instructor. Follow the HW and his lectures, you'll be fine.
Ali is an excellent teacher who throughly goes over the material until everyone understands it. He makes himself available at all times and cares about his students education. Excellent, excellent, excellent
THIS IS A GREAT TEACHER!!! He is totally willing to be supportive through academics and spirituality... it totally depends on how much effort you want to put in with him. I highly reccommend him!
I thought I would hate accounting as a music major but he was so nice and straight forward about everything, I actually enjoyed the class. He is also very fair.
GREAT TEACHER AND FUNNY TO BOOT!
Fantastic Teacher. Teacher's Teacher.
Greate teacher. Hope I had him for BUS201. Learned a lot. Study, listen to his lectures, do HW, and you'll be fine. GOOOOd teacher...
Thank God, it is over, and I got my C. Mr. N. is a very good teacher. Boring course. This was my third time taking accounting 1, and with his help I could finish it. Now, I understand Dr and Cr, I can evaluate my company?s financial statements, and I know how to account for my business losses and gains, and ?. Take him, you won?t be sorry.
He is good. I enjoyed his. Class. Take him, but be prepared to work. This is not a hard class, but some people did do poorly on the tests. His tests are somewhat difficult. He gives a large amount of extra credit. Few As, more Bs, mostly Cs. Hardly any fails. Take him, you will learn!
Good teacher but difficult subject. Drops lowest grade, and offers extra credit. Does have an accent which can make it difficult to understand at times.
Yes. The subject in itself is very difficult but will ALWAYS help you if needed. Don't be afraid to speak up if you're having any trouble. He will make sure you do well!
Great professor. Mr. N. is helpful, kind, and dont mind to go out of his way to help you. take him if you can.
He is a really welcoming teacher, and tell you what he is going to test on. I took a summer class and was a little fast but the work on the back of the chapter and the exercises in class you just need to practice them. I would recommend him, I hope i can retake the class with him.
This was the second time I took this course. Wow! So much easier this time around. Tests were a breeze (all multiple choice, no handwritten problems). Homework all done online w/ infinite chances to submit answers (up until the deadline date, that is). No projects, presentations, reports, etc. Just homework and tests. One of the easiest A's ever!
He's a nice professor who clearly knows what he's teaching. His tests are all multiple choice which really helps. Homework answers are on Blackboard and he only collects homework on the exam day. His accent sometimes makes it hard to understand what he's saying but he's a really good professor.
Mr. Naddafpour is amazing. He gives multiple/relevant examples & does everything to help you understand. He never made anyone feel stupid for asking a question and never ignored anyone. Picked up on a lot of confused faces which alleviated the pressure of asking a question. LOVE THIS TEACHER, HIGHLY REC.!!! COC Spring 2012 student.
Best professor ever! Explains everything so you will understand. Always available for questions after class and by email within an hour or so. Can't wait to take him for more of my business classes. Test are multi choice, homework is done online and due on test date. Great professor!
Great professor! Very personable and easily accessible for help on assignments. The class consisted of practice problems from the book, an accounting application problem that is very helpful for studying and multiple choice tests that are pretty straightforward. Great for both 201 and 202!
great teacher. explains everything gives examples provide group projects that are very helpful to get prepared for exams. I do rec....
Fabulous professor, no joke, knowledgeable. Explains everything, gives real life examples for every concept and theory. Take him if you can. Will learn a lot. Mr. N cares for his students. Answers all of questions.
Fantastic professor. Learned a lot. Got a promotion as I completed his course and able to pass company's exam. Promoted. Thanks Mr. N.
Great Prof. Very attentive to students. Learned a lot. Take him, if you want to learn, but ready to work, do hw, and projects...
Great teacher.... Take him if you want to learn
Can't meet a much nicer guy. Always smiled as students walked in. Gives great real world examples, clear, incredibly helpful and patient as them come. All professors need to be like him, he really cares. Makes a really difficult subject manageable and interesting. Lets class out early if he sees people are overwhelmed. TAKE HIS CLASS! He is great!
The Professor knows what he's talking about. He uses real life examples. There's a lot to cover within a semester due to subject itself. Asks students repeatedly if we have questions. Answers all questions in person or via email promptly. Loved his lecturing style & willingness to help students learn the subject. I would definitely take him again!
He is an excellent teacher. His fairness, His willingness to help his students (especially during difficult situations), his ability to break down complex concepts into more understandable ideas, and his incorporation of humor and real time life situations to keep the class engaged all attest to his dedication to his students' education.
Excellent Professor! He is very helpful and always willing to work with you. He really cares about his students and is always ready to help you succeed. He is very timely in his Email responses and has given me very good advice in both the class and life. Highly recommend him!
Great prof, take him if you can. One of the best at coc.
I love this teacher! He understands the students. He gives exam review before each exam but, it just helps you know what will be on the test. He does not give you the answers. I learned more from him than from my other accounting teachers. From time to time he will say something to make you laugh!
Simply, the best teacher i've had during my two years at COC He makes you want to go to class. I don't think it's possible not to like this teacher or his lectures. He brings real life business examples every week. Class was very practical, informative; and changed my life with loads of helpful tips. His class gave me reasons to choose my major.
Amazing professor. Extremely fair and really cares about his student's success. Always willing to help you through a problem and very responsive to E-mail questions. Highly recommend!!!!!
Great class. Great instructor. Strongly recommended.
By far the bestttttt accounting teacher!! He makes you enjoy going to class, never boring lectures and helps you understand everything in only 12 weeks. He is very understanding and only wants you to learn! Do all the homework. group projects, and study you will pass with an A...
Enjoyed lecture on a tough subject. Professor taught with clarity and is very helpful answering questions and answering emails.
Great professor. I love the way he covers subjects... I loved when he compared perpetual and periodic inventory systems to the way that students study (on a daily bases vs cramming) and brought this subjects home and related to my life. Professor N. does a fantastic job to connect with students.. He makes learning accounting subjects easy..

I love Professor N, he is one of the few professors I've had that truly cares about his students. At the end of every class he always asks us to be safe which I take to heart. I have had to take accounting twice before this semester and have not done very well. However the manner in which Professor N teaches the material really sticks in your head!
by far the best accounting teacher at COC. take BUS201 and 202 with him!! easy to understand and really cares about the students' success. do all the online hw. keep doing them and the prac tests. if you don't do the hw you won't pass. the hw was plain and simple - you just have to keep up with it.
Group projects and you can choose your group. Wiley Plus is used but makes it easy to get full marks in. Go to class and get participation and you will understand what is going on. Don't write in his lectures, print off the power point and write down what he says not what is on the board (wish someone gave me that advise). I recommend to take him!
Aaaaaawesome professor. Participate, do the assignments and group projects and you will be fine.... He cares for his students... Take him if you can...
I took his class a few semesters ago and forgot to give him a review! I had taken Accounting 1 twice before taking it with this professor. He actually taught in a manner that i understood and i loved taking this class. So bummed that i don't get to take him again for accounting 2
Group projects, will answer questions you have, makes sure that his students understand the material.
He's a really nice guy and cares for a students success in the class. I warned you, this class is not easy it is very difficult and you will have to study your butt off. He will give analogies to remember certain concepts which help but go to his lectures and look over notes after. Exams are tricky so make sure you know the material 100%.
Naddafpour is just one of those teachers where you see him and can't help to smile. This class is not easy at all and the exams are honestly tough. You cannot just place numbers in boxes on wileyplus and say you understand it. That was my mistake and do extra problems, make sure you get it 100%. Don't procrastinate and study the night before.
I don't think Accounting will be easy, but the way he teaches it is understandable. Go to the lectures because he explains problems, be inquisitive, be ready to learn. Naddafpour will always tell the class to have a great weekend and be safe. He always has a smile on his face as a student walks in. Approachable guy and he answers emails!
This class sure did drop my gpa, but it is accounting which is a very hard subject to master night before a test. You have some SLO's, homework 10 points, and hard exams where it's more logic based then math. Don't just think wileyplus will help you have to know the material very well. He is very helpful and answered my questions, but still tough.
Take him. I had to retake a class that deals with lots of math and from taking 3 math courses last semester they helped me with the course right now. I recommend you find people to study with and study right away. Don't do it last minute, do SLO's homework chapter readings. He's tough, but this is the hardest class for business majors.
This class is stressful and material is complex. Naddafpour is a great person and I enjoyed taking acct with him. You will learn, but you will go through nights of anxiety before an exam. What you should do is record transactions on a Excel sheet and think about it. Make terms personable and do the SLO's, homework, Orion practice it will help!
Naddafpour told the entire class how account 201 and 202 are the hardest classes for business majors. He is right, this class was no walk in the park. You need to do homework(be consistent), SLO's(do it even if your friend or group done it), and read the chapter! You need to practice the transactions they are tricky and think about it. Tough class
I took this class at 8 am and learned I hate waking up. Aside from that, he is super nice and caring person that will help you with your grade and give you a heads up what will cover on the exam. my highest grade was an 80 and the rest I had an average of 70's. you need to study consistently. I got a C because of my average for test scores.
This course was tough and I feel accounting will just be hard either way. You have to know the debits and credits and practice every night. If you want an A you need to Ace every test. To do that you must read the book and do extra problems. Wileyplus won't help you need to do them. Homeworks, SLOs, and exams not cumulative. Very tough class
I'm going to tell you what helped me when taking this class. I read the book and studied the online Orion practice over and over till I got 100%. He gives out good study guides too and is extremely helpful if you don't understand something. If you want an A you need to put in the effort and time to ace all those exams. There tricky so study.
My god this class was hard. I cannot count how many times I stayed up studying a night before an exam learning 2 chapters of so many concepts and terms. He's a super nice guy, but his test are ridiculously hard. Make sure to study and practice of Orion it helped for me. I only got a C, so if u want an A ace every exam and get help right away
First day of lecture he played a Katy perry and U2 song. I was thinking damn this prof has a good music taste. He started talking about remaining a positive attitude and this class will be tough. I didn't go in thinking a subject like accounting would be easy, but I got through it with only a C. You need to study A LOT and read and practice.
He's a good professor. He provides you with study guides and many documents for problems he solves in class. He goes over exams and personalize it with anecdotes etc. Very nice guy and will answer your questions. Accounting is tough so study every night,practice transactions and know terms. Do Orion practice,homework,SLOS it will help. Nice guy
I have nothing, but kind things to say about this man. He's great and on canvas he gave us links to Orion practice, textbook, and problems he did himself. The day before any exam he will go over it in class and give us a heads up what might be on it. Pay attention to recordings that was hard part for me and understand DR and Cr.
If you have any personal issues like with family,life, he will talk to you about it. If you don't understand something email him asap! When I didn't understand wileyplus problem he send me a document of a different problem,same logic. Me and a friend were both working on it. He makes great study guides on canvas and goes over exams day before!
Naddafpour is the nicest professor ever! He knows most people taking account courses will prob take acct 201 and does his best to prepare us! I'm gonna be taking Maxwell this fall and he has prepared me!Great study guides on canvas and answered all my ?'s I got together with a study group and we all did wileyplus problems. Remember dr and Cr!
Was it tough? Yea. Was it hard? Yup. Was there some students not interested? Ya. Naddafpour is honestly one of those professors that will make it interesting and bring in business info to talk about concepts. He goes over problems on board and I saw many people walk out. Please just stay he's giving beneficial info for exams. Study guides on canvas
Wileyplus is a gem and honestly helped me at least get a C. There are crossword puzzles,videos,problems similar to book, and worked out problems. I would go there to reference to text and do hw/SLOS's. Acct isn't a class you wanna cram 2 chapters in day of/night before exam. I just made silly mistakes on exams when I did that and barely got a C.
He's a nice guy. Classes are all lecture where he goes over chapters before the exam. Exams cover two chapters. SLO's you can work with group. Use wileyplus and the tools on there. You can practice problems,watch videos. Take notes on a document or paper of transactions. Email him if you don't understand something he will answer.
I ended up with a C, but he's an excellent teacher. My mistake was I studied the night before an exam and not consistently. Wileyplus was a fun website to do transactions. I remember getting so happy seeing my little box green! When I had trouble I send him an email and he's so helpful!! He's so sweet too and goes over exams before exam day!
Mr N is Great Did hw & group activities Stress free class Decided to study marketing
Best professor to take for BUS100. One of the most helpful professors, very helpful, and understanding. Email the professor if you have any concerns.
Great, great Prof. He is an outstanding, after his class got a temp job with Robert Half. His exams were similar to what I faced at the interview and job placement exam. Take him, if you can...
Best professor ever! I highly recommend him.
Professor N. truly wants to share his knowledge. He has a great deal of business, management, entrepreneurial, financial and accounting experiences. This is one of the most influential classes I have taken. You wont be disappointed
Great instructor. Take him if you can and get ready to practice and do homework assignments. Exams are connected to his presentations, homework and the cookie problem... Do not be disappointed.
Definitely one of the best professors at COC. I took him during a summer course and he was patient with his class and makes sure that evereyone understands the material. I would definitely take him again.
BESt professor for one of my Bus:admin courses. He gave excellent study guides and documents to follow examples. I saw many people walk out and I say please dont! He practices examples with you and if you want you can get help in office hrs or after class! i got a C bc i didn't go to amazing tutor. I went for Accounting 202 and she made acct fun!
Great, great instructor.... Take him if you can.... Get to know him very fair instructor Got a better position at my work after his class... Did not know what I learned, until I sat in a business meeting at work....
If you want to have a stress free class, take him. He will accommodate you and is flexible, if you let him know in advance. He works with students.
One of the most stress-free professors. He'll make sure every single student knows the material. Amazing teacher!
One of the best at the coc... He simplifies everything.... Take him if you can, wont regret it...
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! In my 4 yrs of college, Ive never had a compassionate, caring and understanding prof like, Naddafpour. His lectures are very easy to grasp and tests are literally what he puts on study guide. Assignments are reasonable and due within a good time frame. He makes morning classes feel so smooth. Take him, hes the greatest! :)
Greatest Professor! Very wise in the accounting field since he's experienced it first hand so his stories/examples are always helpful. Very laid back and caring for all his students. Communicate with him and he will work w/ you. EVERYTHING is posted on canvas. Must purchase WileyPlus to do hw. Gives study guide for tests and there's no final.
I love this guy as a person but not as a teacher. He barely teaches half of the concepts or formulas that is on the homework and the exams are much harder. The only reason why its easy to get an A is because he makes each hw equivalent to half of the points of an exam. I had 101 % going into the final and finished with a 98% overall.
The most dynamic prof He changed volume of hw Qs 'cause of covid19 He assisted me w so much understanding I had virtual office hours/tutoring around 10 pm, cause I didn't have time School didn't have timely tutoring due to the shutdownHe actually tutor my and my group members Prof Ali simplifies all the concepts without him I couldn't finish.
He was a good professor. I am taking this class distanced so the zoom lectures were not mandatory but they are informative if you attend. He is very forgiving and opens up assignments. The only negative is that he either doesn't answer your email or he does when its too late.
Were two weeks in. Hes so nice! And omg his patience! He answers everyones questions with so much patience. Ppl were asking questions that I think they should have known like 2 weeks ago but he answers them. Took our first test got an A so far. He does practice questions during lecture. Hes an angel.
Hes great! He is so kind and patient. He cares for his students and is extremely understanding. Willing to work with your schedule and adjust assignments to fit your needs. First few exams were easily managed but after that its an extreme amount of math work that takes several min per ? with a timed exam so passing is difficult. Change this plz!!
A gem at the COC. Take him if you can. Lots of HW and exams...
Prof. N is awesome. He provides a great set of materials and activities. He responds within a couple of hoursa very fast turnaround. Take him if you can!
The most stress-free class. He provides weekly announcements. Just complete the weekly coursework and you'll do great. Participate in discussions and slo Qs they will raise your score. thanks to prof. N. I did well even though I had taken Acctg 1 four years ago.
Amazing professor, no fuss no muss go over his PPP and read the assigned items, follow the weekly announcements and exams will be a breeze His ppp provide the information above and beyond the text makes you ready for the real business life Prof N makes the online class hassle-free learning Responds to emails very fast (amazing).
Great instructor. Take him if you can He simplifies the concepts His pp presentations are very helpful in understanding the chapter subjects Lots of work but it's worth it decided to become an accountant because of him
Prof. N is a great professor. He treats us as an adult. Lots of compassion and empathy for the students and their situations. Very understanding. I am an HS student, and he responded to every single question and concern very fast. The most stress-free class. Take him if you can.
great instructor
Prof. Naddafpour is one of the best instructor I ever have. His class was the most stress free class I ever have taken. He made it possible to take the 3rd year Intermediate Accounting at the Long Beach state. Take him if you need Acctg 1 and or 2 (bus 201-202).
Great and caring professor. One of the best. Communicate with him your situation ans you will be amazed how he remedy and try to assist.
This class was good, but it does get difficult. He does answer questions, but the curriculum is very hard if you do not read textbook outside of class. He lectures for the full class using slideshow. He is not super engaging in class but he is very nice. If you do not put in effort into this class, you will not learn.
Prof. N is a great instructor who Responds and engages with students. Communicate with him & will see how interactive and responsive he is Take him if you can & You'll be rewarded He is very engaging inside and outside of the class (online/in-person/zoom)
I love this prof His canvas design is straightforward with the announcements & course ToC on homepage Dont have to search Everything is organized in modules& accessible easily Just do the work read,study&do, and you will be fine He has simplified &grades the works Mon&Tue so I knew where I was standing weekly Responding to the emails within 2-3 hrs
Highly recommend Professor Naddafpour as he's very clear with what we are learning each week. Do the weekly homework, tests, and project and you will pass no problem. Very understanding and easy to reach out to!
If you want a straightforward class and good grades take this professor, I took him online, and was smooth sailing. Great guy, fast responder.
Great professor. If you need accounting, this is the professor to take. Very knowledgeable, and it comes from experience. Homework is easy. He cares a lot, and gives updates weekly. This isn't a difficult class to pass, but if you want the most out of it, show up to class and hear him out. He breaks things down and always asks if we have questions.
This is the second class I have taken from this professor. The first being their personal finance class. Seeing how nice of a class that was I decided to do their intro to investing course. If it wasn't for the absolutely cancerous homework problems that this course has it would be a fantastic course.
I took Professor Naddafpour's online 8 week summer course. You have two assignments per chapter and they tend to be time consuming but other than that pretty straight forward. You mainly have to read the textbook for this class and test are easy if you study the material. As long as you stay on top of everything it is a pretty straightforward class
Easy to get a good grade as long as you complete all the homework!!! Not an easy course but the professor really cares about his students. Attendance not mandatory. Final not cummualitive. 2 assignments per chapter a week. Will take 5-8 hours on HW assignments
Amazing professor! Took him for 201 and 202 and passed with A's in both classes. Kind professor and very smart. He loves to lecture and help his students and makes this class more enjoyable. Try to get him if you can and you won't regret fighting for a spot in this class lol.
Took his 201 & 202 classes as Hybrid 8-week classes Every day he would announce what new tasks or ‘techniques' we would learn Didn't realize what I had learned until got to Intermediate & other Acctg classes. Now graduated&waiting forCPA exam results. Take him if you can By the way I gotB in his 201 & A in 202 classes but he made me work for grades
Professor N is great - simplifies concepts and provides helpful materials. Lots of work but worth it. Unstuck study was a game-changer for studying and preparing for exams in this class.
Answers emails fast. Group project (unless you know your partner, do it yourself). HW takes forever!!!!! Easy to get an A if you use special resources. Discussions posts are longgg but easy. Take online course, in person is just not necessary if its not your specific major. Do it accelerated if you have the chance.
Chill teacher, but a lot of homework. Expected since it was an 8 week course, but still. Accounting is a very hard subject but he made the class manageable to understand with an online course you have to buy so beware. Homework and exams were a bit tedious but make sure you do the classwork and don't fall behind.
Great instructor He was off his game this semester He makes the most difficult subjects simple to comprehend&applies them to buz High work ethic&daily grindThere were a lot of hw & activities, but that's how I learned& that's why I took Bus202 after completing 201 last termTake him if you can won't disappointGot accepted into the acctg major at USC
Great professor. Take him if you can. Great Canvas Homepage. Everything is in one place. Easy to access and complete discussions, assignments, quizzes, and exams.
