dr. alikhani is a great teacher but he is hard to understand with his accent at first. He is always ready to help when you need it, and he is also fun in class as well.

A good professor that is willing to provide extra help if you ask- very approachable.

Good teacher... very helpful.

Extremely nice guy, always always willing to help. I feel he cares alot about the students and how they do.

Awesome guy! He's taught me so much about Calculus, in and out of his class. I would definitely recommend him for 140 and maybe 141.

if u want a teacher whose goal is to make sure all of his students have a firm understanding of calc 2, he's your man!! once u get over the accent burden, generally in a manner of 1 week...he's a great teacher! ps he writes nice letters of recommend

This class is very easy, if you study for the exams and quizzes. Alikhani also is very good at helping the student if you go in for his office hours.

Not an easy class but the instructor kept a lite mood with his great sense of humor! Very fair and helpfull professor.

The best math teacher in the world. I love math because of this man - take his notes on angel and memorize them. His quizzes are exactly from the notes. Take him!!!!!!!!!!

Alikani speaks broken english however, i can understand him better then any other american math teacher i've ever had. This man knows how to get math across to his students. Thanks Alikani for making calculus understandable.

Reasonably good teacher in a class that is very difficult. Tries his best to hold your attention, and explain the material. Can be very funny at times. Encourages students to attend his office hours. Exams are INSANELY difficult.

Dr. Alikhani is the man!! hands down, he cares about his students. He will help you any way he can, just make sure you see him during his office hours, even if you don't have a question just to see him.

Best prof I've ever had. He's extremely intellegent, knows the material in and out and is SO willing to help his students in any way he can. He also has a way of getting students excited about the subject..which is not an easy task. Truely a great teacher

Great guy!

I failed 141 my first time, but it was not this mans fault. I did little work and never went to study hours. Now i do, and have a A-. He is a grade teacher and very hepful

This guy is amazing! He truly cares how his students do. Pay attention to his notes on Angel and do all of the hw problems he assigns normally and before tests. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS THEY ARE PRICELESS.He will help anyone with problems and will make sure they understand it! He gives curves on tests

THe best math teacher berks has to offer, is extremely helpful during class in his office hours. Test and quiz questions come right from his online notes and homework. If you need to take 141 he is the only professor you should take.

Let's face it...Calculus is not easy. Alikhani is hard to understand at first but you quickly become used to it. I won't put any blame on him for the difficulty of the class, like I said, it is calculus, II for that matter. He gives quizzes often, which isn't so bad. And go to his office hours!!

Great professor! I had him for math 141 and then when that class was done I strategically chose to take him for my next maths. He's hard to understand at first but he's worth taking, by the end of the semester you can't even hear an accent. He's funny too, great guy! He'll help you if you go to him!

Alikhani is the best math teacher I've ever had. He was always willing to help you, and he's actually is there for his office hours. I'll be taking 251 with him in the fall.

He does enough examples that you can almost learn it without doing the homework

Not the easiest class, but he definitely does his best to make sure you know your stuff for the tests. He gives a few quizzes/homework to keep you on your toes. You might think it's a bad thing, but it actually is the best thing for when it comes to the test. He'll do anything to help you out

OWWWW...Alikhani's the man!! Integrate those integrals! Integrate them good!

If I can be any person on this planet, I would be Dr. Alikhani... Great man in and out of the classroom. ALWAYS willing to help ANYONE whenever! and he curves generously... he wants people to pass even though a lot of people don't.... but those who do do GREAT and understand COMPLETELY EVERYTHINg... which tells me something about those who "fail"

He goes into proofs and then says you can do it that way or just memorize the equation, makes it nice b/c you can see the long way and short way of doing the problems, and choose which you'd like to use

Calculus--easy. Independence--hard. Mini tests instead of group quizzes, no collected homework, no matter what professor, so get it done. Go to his office hours. Read ahead, do probs any spare moment. Look over your notes, retake your quizzes and exams. His notes had too much; I took my own. Use the extra problems, much better than manual.

Great teacher, if you pay attention. Makes class fun to be in. If you don't go to class you wont know whats going on. Make use of his office hours!!! Grades easiest out of all the professors of calc.

Great man! Great professor with great Persian integrity and personality. Extremely smart and knowledgeable!

He Is very nice the workload is pretty easy he makes the concepts pretty simple no complaints.

The greatest math professor at penn state

dr. alikhani is amazing. he has a great sense of humor, and if you go to class and do the homework you should do fine. it's a lot of work, but hey! it's college!!

Dr. Alikhani is a funny man. He will always make you laugh every class. It is however a hard class, so make sure you put time and effort into it! After taking Shaparenko and Alikhani; I felt Alikhani communicated the material a little better. You get used to his accent after about a week or so. I'd give him a 7 out of 10. Curves at the end.

great teacher, but the subject matter it hard. he explains very clear, and is not picky about how it has to be written on a test. would recommended to a friend, but you have to keep up with the course, it is very hard.

Alikhani is the man. Class is never boring and if you as a question, he's very good at answering. Sometimes he can go a little fast when going over sections. Great teacher in my opinion.

Was very funny in class and taught the material quiet well. Just make sure you show ALL of your work if you want to get a good grade.

Alikhani is the man. If you are wondering who to choose between Ansari and Alikhani, definitely go for Alikhani. He makes time in every class to answer any questions you have. You won't fall asleep in class, cause he keeps it fun with his jokes. Fair grader. Anyways, you gotta take math seriously and study every week if you want a good grade

He is a good professor. He really cares about the students. He'll give you partial credit on quizzes and tests. He's a very funny teacher who keep you entertain during class. Make sure you do his homework for class. He'll even go over problems in class to help you understand. I recommend having him.

Dr. Alikhani is the best math professor at Berks. He is very friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Posts lectures on ANGEL, unlike the rest always in his office.

Dr. Alikhani is moderately a hard teacher, but he actually teaches the material so that most students understand what they are doing. He is extremely friendly and easy to approach, very helpful with office hours. If you put in the effort, you will pass the class and also understand the material. I definitely recommend Dr. Alikhani.

Dr. Alikhani is a great teacher, nice man.

Dr. Alikhani was by far the best math professor that I have encountered in my life. It was a 6 week summer course, but I learned a lot and I enjoyed it too.

Dr. Alikhani is an amazing professor. I enjoyed his teaching method and for the first time learned some serious mathematics. Take his class, good choice.

Dr. Alikhani is a really good professor. You will definitely learn alot if you take his class. He is always availabe during office hours and is willing to answer any questions you may have. Attendence is not mandatory, but you learn alot in one class, so you shouldn't miss. His class is not easy but he helps you along the way if you need it.

The best professor at PSU Berks.He is very helpful and a pleasant person. I found his class very interesting.

Very helpful and a good professor. He cares about his students.

I learned math and I enjoyed the class. Dr. Alikhani is the teacher who teaches mathematics passionately and creates an environment that you enjoy the class.

Dr. Alikhani is an extremely fair professor when it comes to the end of the semester and I'm more than grateful to have had him.

"All mathematicians are going to Hell" - Alikhani. Great class atmosphere throughout the semester I had with Prof Alikhani. His lectures can be a tad long. He manages to keep his students' attention through his jokes. Quizzes are often and grading is fair. Tests are a bit tough. Final exam was written by a more difficult professor and it showed.

This is a tough class and a tough subject. This professor is one of the better ones for it. Be prepared to work extremely hard to earn your grade. The lectures are long and kinda fast paced, but the professors jokes keep it somewhat bearable. "There will be a math test to get into heaven." - Professor Alikhani

Alikhani is a great professor. He's hilarious and incredibly smart. If you ever need help, see him during office hours. He helped me a lot during office hours. The WileyPlus homework and quizzes are very difficult. Exams are really difficult but I did well on them. To study, just rewrite your notes. Make sure you can do every problem easily.

Dr. Alikhani is a good professor. Tests range from average to semi-difficult. WileyPLUS homework is annoying but not a deal breaker. Teaching style is interesting, but you get used to it. This class is challenging, requires a lot of effort on the students part and is not for the faint of heart, but Alikhani is a solid choice for it.

I loved Dr. Alikhani! Although he did not use curves, his test were easier than the ones I've seen in Math 140. Yes, you must study and do the homework to do well, but I got a 99 and a 98 on the only two exams of the semester. If he doesn't post the notes, email him or else he'll give your class a quiz every week.

He is a really great professor. His class is sometimes hard to follow if you do not pay enough attention, but anyway he will post the notes. The class is not that hard, but you do need to work for it. Finishing the homework is generally not enough. Make sure you do every single questions in the notes by hand.

Great professor. All of the notes are uploaded online so even if you miss a class, you can still get the notes. There are quizzes every week which are based on the examples done in class. The exams are fair as well, with 80% of them being very similar to the example problems solved in the class. He does not assign any homework

He is a great professor, but you have to stay on top of the material. He is very understanding and is a pretty easy grader.homework is graded for completion only, and he goes over the material he plans on using for his tests and quizzes. If you have a basic understanding of 140, you’ll be fine

He is a great professor. Solves lots of examples and posts his notes. Very nice and approachable.

Alikhani, while he may seem rude or mean at times, is overall a pretty funny guy. While he can be strict sometimes, he makes up for it by having good lectures with detailed problem solving, and he always posts notes, solutions to homework, and test solutions. 90% weighted on tests, so make sure you study, but exams arent too bad, just like homework

Don't get me wrong, calc is not easy by any means, however Alikhani makes things a lot less stressful. You still have to put the work in, study, do homework, etc. but his tests and quizzes are very reasonable. His accent can be hard to understand sometimes and lectures can be boring, but as long as you show up and try, you will be fine.

It's a pretty tough class, with 500 points total and 450 points weighted on exams. YOUR TA WILL (hopefully) GIVE YOU PREVIOUS EXAMS. USE THEM TO STUDY, and do the practice problems for each chapter. Alikhani's funny at times, and he's trying to prepare you for more math courses (Looking at you engineering majors). Hw is easy, exams are tough.

Professor Alikhani is a great teacher. You should read the lecture notes, attend office hours and practice on homework problems.

Alikhani's lectures are engaging, and his tests are fair if you put in the work. Use study tools like Unstuck ai and practice problems to do well. It's a challenging class, but he'll prepare you for future math courses.

Makes the material very clear and easy to understand. Also posts notes so it is easy to check them if you miss a class or just to review. The exams were very few questions so one mistake could drop your grade by a whole letter, but they were never that hard.
