Prof Khansari is a very knowledgeable and good teacher. However, he's too lenient with students and because of his slow pace, we didn't cover all the material during the semester. Toward the end, he was rushing to get us caught up and the quality of teaching went downhill from there. He needs to make a new schedule and stick to it.

Mr. Khansari is a really good teacher; he gives lots of notes and homework. However, you MUST come to class! He stresses that the whole semester lol. If you don't then he won't take you seriously and offers less help because he assumes you don't care. He knows how to really simplify math and offers extra credit even on the final exam.
