Really tough, but he'll teach you what you need to know.

Woah is this guy hard! But if you survive it, you really know what you need to!

Best prof in the world! I still remember The name of the game is simulation!

Beast instructor in the world, I have taken: Computer science 1401, 2401, 2451, 2190 with him. He is awsome. Not like some instructors are wimps he takes control of the class and noone is late! thats the nice thing, late = killed. Knows all material A++

Ok, if you are looking for an easy instructor then FORGET about him = F, but if you are looking to learn what you love he is one of few instructors on earth who not only teaches you the course but also teach you how to think.

This guy is probably the most brilliant professor the I have come across. This guy is not only a professor but a dedicated scientist. Agreed, he is a little rough on he edges, but when was the last time brillance was benchmarked with smooth edges.

cares about students, but probably not obvious. classes are hard, because he has high expectations of everyone. Or maybe he is trying to weed out people who won't make it...

After 5 classes with Ardeshir (2190, 2401, 2450, 2480, 2490) I can honestly say he's a very good teacher. He expects you learn (understand, not just memorize) the material. Do the problems, the reading, and try and research any questions asked during class. You'll be fine. Oh, and be polite.

HE KNOWS his stuff. which is more than i can say for the more than 50 profs who've taught me.he's a tough customer though

Very tough but with our best interests in mind. I mean, it is a competitive world out there, so we better be on top of our game.

Someone else mentioned that he doesn't know course material, this couldn't be more wrong, expert at all fields that could be taught in a college. Arrrogant jerk though in class, really helpful when available for his office hours, never take more than 3 classes when you have an ardeshir course

He was the best professor I've had all throughout my university years. He challenged his students to work hard and excel in everything they do. No one in my university years inspired me more than him. Yes, he's a tough guy..I kept wondering why I did terrible in his classes, but when I finally passed his class, I had become a much better person. Th

good skill

A precious professor that has to be discovered

Harsh, but effective. If all you care about is your gpa, I wouldn't recommend his course. But if you actually care about learning the material, he is the best professor at the school.

He expects you to respect him, most importantly he expects you to WANT to actually LEARN something rather than just get a grade. Most people miss that point and get all pissy when they don't get as high a grade as they want. Just be punctual, do the work, stick through the class and soon you'll see that Ardeshir is by far not as bad as people say.

The best professor I had. He pushed me to the limit. All his courses are awesome. You will learn a lot. Also, he doesn't waste time writing on the board -- he has slides prepared with all the material. He will go through about 50 slides of text in a class. This won't be possible to write out on the board. Don't miss this prof.

He's a good teacher, if you're motivated you will learn alot in his class: but this course (and 1401) will bring your GPA down. This course was, by a long shot, the hardest C+ I've ever earned. 2 Hr labs that took 6hrs, a term project which requires 20hrs lab time min... its fun and exciting but very challenging course, but for all that work... C+

The guy is unique. Very strict-be on time, do all work. Picks on you sometimes. But I can tell he is a nice guy. You'll get used to him. Clear explanations. If he's too fast, the textbook helps. Class is VERY interesting-always relates the material to real applications. You'll get reasons for why you should bother learning this****! Awesome.

Ardeshir doesn't want you to memorize the facts he wants you to try and understand, to actually learn. If you are just there to get some college credit you will have a difficult time and if you are genuinely there to learn, you will. I never did worse than a B- and I had him for 1400, 2400, 2450, 2480, and 2190. The best instructor I have ever had.

By far one of the few professors that actually cares about his student's education. Wants you to learn and wants people who want to learn. Take any course you can with him, GPA will suffer for it but you'll get more out of the course in one lecture then an entire semester with someone like Gladys Monagan. Also be on time for class always (trust me)

Is there a negative score for easiness? Seriously, on this 5 point scale, I'd rate him about a -10. He holds undergrads to post grad student standards. However, if you are genuinely willing to work in his class, not just for the credit, but for the sake of learning, then while your GPA might take a hit, you'll still find yourself better for it.

Ardeshir is top-notch. Most remarks on his strictness are true, but if you put in a genuine effort he will not fail you. You get your bang / buck with his lectures, but he also teaching you the value of self-learning. He will push you to do your best, and is absolutely recommended if you have intent of being serious in your field. Not an easy A.

Strict teacher, but you can learn much more from him, and his labs are relatively easy. Not sure about midterm and final

Most insightful instructor in langara. This guy has a high IQ brain that operates at a different level. Go to his class everytime, try to answer his questions, exercise your brain thru his lecture and do the readings. You will thank him later in life. Regarding the mark, you will always get above C if he recognizes you as a good student Good Luck

I've had Ardeshir for ALL the courses he taught during my time at langara. He is the most intelligent professor I've met in my life. Respect him in class, DO NOT slack off with your material, stay focused for 4 month (which isn't easy), and he will give you a B. I had gone to many of his office hours to chat with him, and he has been a great mentor

He is a VERY tough and very serious teacher. If you dont respect him and you are not interested in computer science, you will fail his class. If you are interested and willing to put in extra work, he will help you advance as a scientist and programer.

I took 3 CPSC courses with Ardeshir. He is tough for sure, but you will learn more from him. If you put hard working on his class, his door will always open for you. Dont be late to his class, do the assignments and MAKE SURE you understand his class lecture. Best advise read the book before attend his lecture.

I've taken many classes with Ardeshir and each one has been harder than the next. But, after every class I feel far more prepared for the outside world. Don't expect him to feed you answers, don't take his classes just to get a grade. Take his classes to work hard and to actually learn something.

Ardeshir will destroy your bad coding habits and builds you up again. You will need to work at least 2 hours a day to get a grade higher than B+. Be ready to figure out that you know nothing about computers! But you'll have learnt so many important details once you finish the course
