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.

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.

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.

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
