His class was the only one I ever had that I would say was too easy. He is funny and creates a sense of comraderie in the class, but I got tired of his constant half-jokes about liberals.
Entertaining and teaches the subject well. Easy A if your a CS major.
very easy going, very easy exams, very homework, very easy class, very corny guy and i recommend taking his classes over other professor
He is Coooool. Hi is so funny and handsome. He is also nice. If you study, you will get good grad.
He is so fun... It made going to an 8a.m. class easy. He's a great teacher, I learned the material and it was an easy class.
His class at 8am was made enjoyable because of his teaching style. He is a very fun teacher and teaches extremely well... he breaks down hard concepts into easy to understand ideas. If you're taking any engineering class and you see him on the list take him!
No tests, midterm, or final. Only quizzes will determine your grade. I did not care too much for most of his jokes.
If you see his name next to a class...take it. Dont pass up an opportunity to take a class with Amir...probably one of the most entertaining teachers I've had yet, and he made Statics easy...
Very cool teacher, must take for any classes he offers, very funny guy, he'll make fun of students in a nice way so you stay awake in his class.
No Comments
nice guy....just study the concepts in class and u will do well.....very clear and amzingly knowledgeable abt the subj matter....would definitely recommend him.....u'll have to work a little bit for an A.....if u cant then ur either an idiot or u r just too lazy....have fun....heheh!!
easy class, hardly no work. just study hard for the two midterms and the final. because that is most of your grade
If you have the option to take this guy for University 100, DO IT. He's funny and turned a fall-asleep class into an interesting and interactive one.
A must take for any class he is teaching. Very helpful and really cares for his students to get a high score. I was close in getting an A but messed up on the first exam. Easy when you study (must attend class). My advice- do the homework assigned. He even gives you the solutions for all of them. Structure: 2 midterms, 2 quizzes, and Final; Curved;
TAKE HIM FOR ANY CLASS HE'S TEACHING!!!!! He will make everything crystal clear. He only give quizes (NO TEST! = NO FINALS/MIDTERMS). Ontop of that he give practice quiz problems b4 the actual quiz. The quiz looks exactly like the practice.
Amir is such a great prof. he understands how to get the class involved and interested. I was expecting the class to be boring and dull, but it was exciting and I learned a lot. It is a great experience, and take his class, you will not regeret it. When you start school you will feel more conifdent and comfortable.
i HIGHLY recommend this professor for UNIVERSITY 100. He's very entertaining and makes class fun by having the class participate. He's very bad with names, but it's funny when he messes up with people's names haha. Very informational, little HW, & his final for UNIV100 is THE BEST!!!- take him and you'll know what i'm talking about ;)
EASIEST TEACHER EVER. he gave my class two essays total for hw, and the rest was just touring the campus. his final is a celebration where you have a pizza party. YES, A PIZZA PARTY AS YOUR FINAL. how can you say NO to that?! take his class!! i not only recommend, but i suggest taking him as your instructor in any of his classes.
He is so easy "Coco the gorilla can pass" at least thats what he says. Explains everything in detail. Funny guy. As long as you pay attention in class, you will pass. Tests and quizes are basic simple problems
He's one of the good ones. Everyone did bad on the first test so he had us all come in on the Saturday before the next test and went over each question with us. Recommended
He is a pretty chill guy. Has a problem with laptops, but it's all good. He is an easy professor that really interacts with the students greatly. I'd recommend him.
This guy is crazy. He is fun and entertaining while keeps to the material...sometimes =) He gets off topic sometimes, but it is for entertainment reasons. He is quite the comedian however if you break his rules, he will single you out.
If you are looking for an excelent professor who will help you in every way. Take this guy. If you don't, you will be sorry that you didn't. Very easy to understand and teaches you exactly what you need for your career. Doesn't try to trick or fail you. Gives practice Tests/quizes before every tests/quiz. The best/funniest teacher you will take.
You must take Amir for 205. He gives you great examples in class that actually APPLY to his tests. This is a class that you will enjoy and learn something in the process.
Amir's class was probably the funnest class I have taken at CSULB. Gives very good examples, answers any questions if a student needs more clarity, and is very prompt when returning exams and quizzes. Just study the examples given in class and his practices exams/quizzes and you will be fine. It was a straightforward A.
One of a kind. Amir is not only a great professor, but also a great person. I learned a lot from him.
This professor is awesome especially for incoming freshman in a course like University 100. Informative, honest, understanding, funny, witty, politically incorrect and easy to talk to. Gives reasonable assignments. Show him respect he will show right it back. Highly recommend this teacher and hope to have him in the future. Final is easy!
I promise that u will not see such a nice and straightforward teacher like Amir. Trust me and you will see taste the meaning of a high quality teacher...I really miss him.
He sucks. ****. Stay away.
Cool teacher. Very helpful.
Amir is patient and explains the subject well. Good teacher.
Bottom Line- Take him with no worry!!He is Hot, Understandable, Cool, and a great teacher,...
Funny, smart, and a powerful speaker. Sometimes he knows more about teenagers than their parents thus making his lectures great! Highly recommend him for UNIV 100 even if you're not an Engineering Major!
How Can I describe this guy? He is an "Ideal" instructor. He was the best teacher I've ever had in my life. very Straight Forward. make his points clear. willing to give you an extra help if you needed. making a boring subject so interesting,,....Bottom line "Perfect,funny, Awesome,Cool,Hot..." Take him without any doubt, You won't re
I learned a lot in Amir's class....So Entertaining & Caring... he is Awesome! I strongly recommend taking his class over other instructors. Just take it, you WON'T regret it!!!!
Seriosuly, one of the elite professors out there that can blow your mind! Aryan can teach and entertain at the same time, plus your final exam is a pizza party! You have to crash your car into a brick wall to fail his class! He's currently getting his Ph.D thus he knows his lectures very well.
Very nice guy but tries too hard to entertain. I was there to learn about discrete math and I feel I was left a little short of what the other professors are teaching. I hope it does not hurt me in the rest of my studies.
With this guy as your professor, you can't fail. Honestly he makes lecture extremely entertaining especially his "Academic Freedom" lecture.
One of the first CE classes I took was CE 205 and he made me less fearful of what lay before me. He taught us statics perfectly and his class was the most interesting and useful CE classes I have taken (I have one semester left to graduate, so I have taken just about all of them). Wish he taught more higher division classes cause I only got to tak
best teacher ever
Amir is always hilarious and knows what he is teaching - but be careful in this class. He gives you a study for the test, but there is more on the test than in the study guide so you need to study from the book anyway. Overall easy class but you need to do the homework.
Funny professor. Be warned, however, he's a bit laid back, but that doesn't mean you should. Do the homework that he assign!!!!!! Don't put your trust on the sample quizzes and tests! Also when he says we'll get out of here in ten or fifteen minutes, don't get your hopes up.
This professor is very funny, and you will definitely laugh in his class. Unfortunately, he seems somewhat lazy. Do not rely on his sample quizzes and tests, and do the homework. I would probably go with another professor if you want to learn the subject well, as others will tell you.
i was afraid of statics first. then Anir made the class so easy to understand and made it enjoyable. now i actually enjoy statics!! you will not go wrong with this guy, he works really hard for his students and cares deeply about them.
The best,coolest,nicest,smartest teach.he made this boring class so coolthat i actually looked forward to going to class!!! Amir is the one!! if you take anyone else for this class you will regret it. There is never a dull moment in his class because he somehow knows how to really make the even most dry, boring class so interesting.Highly recomende
this guys cares so much for his students to succeed that he even shows up with doughnuts and pizza on saturdays or sunday on his time and money to get us ready for test and final. nobody in whole engineering like Amir.10 out 10.simply the best professor.
want to learn and enjoy this class? take him. intelligent,witty,great speaker,and very cool with his students. only if you are lazy or stupid you will not like this guy.
Amir is simply the best professor there is. Enough said........
Amir is simply the best professor in whole engineering there is. Enough said!
Ignore the other ratings. This professor is funny, but he's the laziest professor I've seen. He doesn't teach. His class (which includes a lab for a total of 2 hours) lasts an hour or less, because he doesn't go over any problems. He just gives you 10 minutes of info, and class is over. Avoid this professor, you will learn nothing from him.
For and foremost, I took Amir for both UNIV 100 and CECS 105 and I thought he was the best professor in the universe...until I took him for 228. I laughed a lot in that class, maybe a bit too much because I didn't learn anything and I literally bombed the exams and quizzes. Heck I thought there were easy but I was fooled.
I think one of the best instructor, clear lecture, Helpful,fair and hardwork man, he explain well even i had some Calculas question with different class and he helped me too. God Bless you man.
Class was very informative and he explained well. I really recomended, He knows what he is talking about.If you want to be successful and have fair professor take your class with him. Simply the best and nice guy.
Though class- cool guy- Take him over anyone else. I agree, probably the best teacher for a hard class.
he is one of the best and i agree you can not find like hin in whole CE department and highly recomende if you want to be successful and learn something. I got A from him and i can say easy because is nothing out of his lecture and no surprise Cool and fair guy
Going to his class is fun,entertaining,and a true environment for learning,he brought DoNut and pizza by end of the semester which nobody do and always helpful. Great professor and clear lecture.Highly recomended.
Great professor and funny. I really recomended to anyone who wants to understand materials with clear way and no hassel. Straight forward and sample test always provided by him.
Amir is the best. Clear lecture and helpful.We love you man. Highly recomended
Are you guys serious? The man's a twit. I want to blow my brains out every time he comes into the classroom.
Really funny, nice guy who could teaching Statics to a retarded monkey if prosed the chance. Teaches off notes and examples from book, so you don't have to read it all alone. Will answer any question very fairly. Just get ready for one quiz every week, but as he says, "They are the easiest quizzes in the world." and he's pretty much right.
Great professor. I really recomended to anyone who wants to understand materials with clear way and no hassel. Straight forward and sample test always provided by him.
If you want to learn statics really good and still have fun while doing it, take Amir. Man he is the best. We really do love you man!
Most knowledgeable and helpful prof I have had in a long time. Knows his stuff and will stop at nothing to help his students. Everybody I talked to in the class really liked the way he taught and how he ran the class so smoothly. Thermo profs in mechanical are no competition with this guy and I wish electrical department had profs like him cause th
I took Physics 151 and dreaded statics, but Amir made statics a breeze! I could not believe how relieved I felt in his class. It was such a fun and informative class. It feels weird to say this but I actually looked forward to coming to his class!!! His teaching ability is fenomenal, he really can teach statics to anyone even English majors!!
I never thought Statics, or Engineering for that matter, was going to be so much fun. Everybody told me about how bad statics was going to be, but with Amir it was so good that I wish he teach every one of our classes. Attendance was almost full and the way he teaches you don't even need a textbook! He's fair and extremely helpful. No competition.
The BEST professor ever! You would not regret taking his class!!! He is FUNNY and he is so SMART! JUST SHOW UP DO YOUR WORK!!! AND I MEAN ALL YOUR WORK! DON'T SLACK OFF AND YOU WOULD DEFINITELY GET AN "A"
Best professor in CSULB for CE department. Before tests or quiz, he makes sure everybody understand the materials that will be on the test. He reviews it over and over, make sure everybody do good on his test or quiz. He also willing to help you during his office hours if you have any problems. Make sure you go over the PDF problem that sent out.A+
Awesome teacher. Best teacher ever. Should teach every single CE class. Hates communists, and socialist...lol
Professor Amir is good at teaching statics. Before exams, he'll do problems over and over until you understand it. Do the assigned work and you'll be fine. I highly recommend him for statics if you can get in.
he is very crazy and boring. I cannot understand him at all.
This guy really cares for his students. He goes over the material over and over to make sure we understand the stuff. Eventhough we had some lazy students in our class, but he motivated us and put his heart and soul into the class. He is a true teacher. No one comes even close to Amir! Take my word for it.....
You know what people, they should fire all of the professors in the ET department and have ONLY Amir teach AAALLLL of the classes. I am dreaming about it!!!!
Before I took Amir's class I was really scared of Statics. Our class met at 8:00am, man I thought I was going to hate going to Statics that early in the morning. Wow! He was brilliant! I actually looked forward to going to his class.
Highly intelligent, extremely informative and a great, compassionate, overall professor. Always helpful and available for his students. Really good teacher. Has natural talent for teaching and he is outstanding in lecturing and making the most boring subject interesting. I wish all my professor were half as good as he is.
He is one of the most helpful professor in whole engineering who really care about his students and answer any questiones. I highly recomend him and i am sure you will be happy with the way of his teaching and his grade is fair. We love you man and i wish i had more class with you.
helpful and available for his students.Also,Really good teacher. Has natural talent for teaching and he is outstanding in lecturing and making the most boring subject interesting. I wish all my professor were half as good as he is.
Amir is a great teacher. he has a great sense of humor and understands college slang and humor. His class is really easy and all you have to do is 6 labs and then a lab report at the end. There is a final that is extremely easy. Thats it. Easy A if your a bright guy
Amir is very helpful when you ask for it. His humor makes the class a hell of a lot more interesting than other sections of this course and he will go out of his way to help his students. I suggest you take him!
This is one of the BEST professors of my entire academic career. He will teach you so well that you don't need a formula sheet for his tests. He derives everything and sometimes even writes notes for the class so you can pay attention in lecture.The hw problems are not only to help you pass the test, but to understand real life situations.
Helpful,funny, keeps thing interesting and connects the textbook information to the real world. my recommendation is you take him if you can.
Amir wont hold your hand through the class, and doesnt police homeworks. So you can fall behind easily. But if you stay on top of homeworks and ask questions, he will gladly answer your questions. I don't know how much material other deformable bodies classes cover, but i'm pretty sure amir doesnt push his students that hard.
This is my second time taking this prof. I had him for CE 205 and now MAE 373, he is an excellent teacher! you'll love him he actually cares about how you are doing in the class. take interest in him and his class and he will help you no problem. love him!
No need to get the textbook he emails you a solution guide to all the questions he wants you to know. Very good at teaching the subject. No homework. Two quizzes and two midterms, one final. Can be sarcastic and a little degrading. Overall funny and helpful. Easy to pass.
This guy is garbage! at first he seems nice, saying the class is easy. But when you get the first test you realize he is a two face! He always claims the test will be so basic and it will be the same as the review. I CALL BULL! he called us back stabbers but in the end he stabbed all our backs. dont trust this guy he is out to fail you!
Honestly, the best at what he does. The exams and quizzes are very straight forward if you follow his examples and do the home work( great for practice). The lectures are awesome. He expects a little bit out of you too, so don't expect to be spoon fed the whole way. Overall it was a great course because of his approach of teaching us.
took amir for ce 205 and ce 359. he will teach you the basics and how to UNDERSTAND. youtube lecture15 minutes, go to his office hours and he'll show you in 3. he wants you to learn, even if you have fallen behind on your basics he will reteach you in office hrs. do not ask DUMB questions in class; you're wasting everyone elses time!
Coolest professor ever, really cares and is really smart - but he said he's leaving to pursue a law degree - so if he ever returns to teaching, take him!
I'm a senior now, I have never had a better professor than Aryan. He isn't an easy A, but with the help he is willing to offer, not getting an A is your fault.
Professor A. Aryan is an amazing professor in the construction department at Long Beach State. He gives clear and straightforward lectures, and truly cares about the well-being of his students and their success in school. I would take a million more classes with him. He made Statics very doable and made me confident in the topic.
Good guy. If you get offended easily, you may not like his sense of humor. He lectures really well and it sticks. Homework not mandatory but really helps for the exams
Great professor. Lecture is straightforward and no nonsense. His humor may not mesh with you if you are sensitive, however he is caring and wants you to succeed. 90 percent of your grade is 2 midterms and the final so make sure you study. He goes over homework if asked but does not collect it for credit. Lenient grader on exams. Would take again.
This is the guy you want. One of the best teachers iv ever had, clear, concise, flexible. Totally understands how to teach someone a new subject, relates ideas to simple real world examples that are easy to grasp. can't speak highly enough. take him if he's teaching your class, you won't regret it!
Took Amir for Statics. His lectures are great and he also provides insight into what real professionals do in the industry outside of class. Exams and Midterms were easy and he's good with partial credit as well.
Dr. Amir is the best professor on campus. He'll teach you how you can relate what's been taught in class to what's going on in the real world. If you make an effort and show some kind of life, you'll pass this class. Just make sure you learn as well. That's the most important thing.
Funny professor who actually teaches the material. His goal is to make sure you learn the lesson before you even leave class. I learned more about the fundamentals of statics in this class than I did in my actual statics class! Tests are kinda difficult but he tells you exactly what to expect and he curves generously! Definitely reccomend him!
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT CSULB..... Amir LOVES what he does and is a very very smart man who will give you great advice about school and life. He has his PE license and is getting ready to pass the bar exam. It is absolutely a pleasure to have him as a professor. He wants his students to do great and will stay with you hours after class to tutor you.
Amir is a very dynamic and effective professor, I never got bored from his 4 hour summer lectures. His exams are very easy due to his teachings. He gave us a lot of tips on how we can be more marketable engineers, and simplified structural analysis to the point anyone can understand it. He is one of the profs that make CSULB a great university.
I rarely ever right reviews for professors but for Amir, I really had to. honestly if you don't take a class with him before you graduate then you will be missing out a lot. I took him during covid and summer (6 hrs lectures) and he made the 6 hours feel like 30 mins. he is the best professor I have ever had, I love him.
Professor is a caring person however the exams had a lot of curveballs and required you to master the material to be able to figure out the problems on the exams. Majority of the class failed the second midterm even though professor promised it was straight forward. Was one of the unlucky ones that did not benefit from the curve.
DR. AMIR IS SO AMAZING!!! HE LOVES HIS JOB AND REALLY WANTS YOU TO LEARN AND DO WELL. I LOVED GOING TO HIS CLASS. THIS MAN REALLY IS AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A FUN CLASS...
AMIR IS A GREAT PROFESSOR. TAKE HIM. YOU WILL LOVE HIS CLASS. AMAZING....
Amir was the uncle we never had. he genuinlly cares about his students and will take the time to make sure you get the content. He knows school is hard so he tries to give everyone 2nd and 3rd chances i order to pass. tests are straight from the homework and he even gives you his exams from previous semesters to study from. 10/10, we love amir!
Wow I never write reviews about anything, ever. But Amir has to be the best professor I've had in college. He is passionate and very knowledgeable about his field. He teaches his lectures off the top of his head in such a simple and easy way to understand the material, he really knows his stuff and his experience in the industry shows.
