Great!

Professor has a great personality and is very helpful when answering individual questions. During Lecture, it may be hard to follow what he is writing since he writes all over the blackboard. If you pay attention, you'll be able to understand what he is teaching. Stay on top of weekly quizzes and homeworks.

The grading was really clear and when we had a problem or uncertainty about the grading, the professor well explained and fixed the grade. He gives the quiz and the test based on the class material so it is best to not skip the classes.

Prof. Fotovatian was really nice and caring of his students needs. He grades homework and weekly quizzes fairly. The in class notes are almost always representative of what the quiz will be about; however, the homework isn't as helpful for preparing for quizzes. He is a bit disorganized when providing the notes, so paying attention is key.

He is extremely specific about what will be on the weekly quizzes, midterm, and final. He even gives examples of the exact problems during lectures! If you just go to the lectures and take notes, it's an easy class to pass, even during the harder units. Also gives cheat sheets during all quizzes and tests :)

The professor goes out of his way to make the class fun and makes jokes along the lectures. He is a very kind person and is accessible to students when they have doubts.

He was the nicest professor! I would recommend him in the future! Grading was very clear, 10 quizzes with 2 dropped. Lab grades are factored in which helps. You can bring a cheat sheet to the midterm and final but everything is clear as to what will be on the exams.

Assad cares about his students and wants all of them to do well. His lectures can be chaotic, but some light textbook reading before class will help you keep track of his direction. He makes an effort to actually explain the application and relevance of different concepts, and he's available outside of class for help. He even gave us his number.

Literally the nicest professor ever. Very understanding and is always wiling to look over grading for quizzes and tests. Very good at giving partial credit, has lot's of opportunities to boost your grade. Available to reach outside of class. Very funny during the lectures. Would take him again and recommend to other students.

He has a great personality to lecture. He sometimes doesn't finish his sentences, but he'll always make sure you have what you need for the quiz/test if you're paying attention. I suck at algebra and Physics, and I regret not going to his office hours. I can't stress enough to go to his office hours. Overall one of my favorite professors.

He's super funny and nice, if you pay attention, show up, and do the homework, it's a very straightforward class. He loves his job and thinks he's hilarious (which he is). Very generous with partial credit but also teaches very well so you actually know what's going on

I'm so glad I took physics with professor Assad! He is AWESOME! He is so helpful and always available after class for help. He even provide his students with his personal phone number so we can text him with any questions about problems. Exams are based on the lecture and the quizzes! Quizzes are from lectures and he will drop the 2 lowest grades

Really Nice guy - Dad Jokes and innocently funny anecdotes litter his class. Uses loads of colorful chalk, has all his notes on blackboard, does lots of examples in class. Tests are super easy if you listen in class, reading not necessary.

I took Calculus I with Professor Fotovatian and his lectures were always enjoyable. Not only did he explain the important concepts in detail but he also made them easy to understand. He is a great teacher and he tends to be pretty funny as well. I am happy to say that I am taking Professor Fotovatian's section of Calculus II next semester.

He is a good professor and clearly knows what he is talking about. He gives good explanations. However, sometimes he would stray from the material or show up to class late and not leave us enough time to do work. So, you just need to be patient. But overall, really great professor!

Took him at UML for Calc II. He's a great professor that doesn't make the subject overly difficult. Gives quizzes about every two weeks which are straightforward, and provides practice exams which are basically the same as the actual exams. Lectures can be boring, but he explains everything clearly and prepares you well. Won't need textbook at all.

Great professor, however I did feel better when I went for tutoring sessions outside of class to help me prep for exams. As long as you understand the problems on the boards and on quizzes, you'll be ready for the exams. Weekly quizzes.

Professor Fotovatian was such a professor. For Fall 2020 semester he only graded quizzes (9 and dropped your lowest grade), the final, and midterm. For the quizzes it was exactly what he went over in class and for the midterm and final it was essentially the practice exam he gives. He is a very fair grader and even gives you his number to reach out

The only physics professor who actually knows how to teach! He actually makes me not hate physics. He explains and derives the equations carefully so that you actually understand the questions instead of *just* plugging in numbers. He can go a little fast, but if you spend time with the material or go to office hours to ask, u'll do great.

This class feels like my dad taught me Calc II... in the best way. From the subtle dad jokes to the comprehensive variety of examples to the warm way he teaches during office hours, I enjoyed it. 40% of your grade is a final, and another 40% are two midterms, so beware, but the rest are quizzes (and the lowest two are dropped!). Class is fast.

He doesn't engage much with students but seems like a great guy and gives very clear lectures. Gives practice quizzes and exams that are exactly like the actual thing. Not very accessible outside of class but the class is pretty self-explanatory. Don't have to come to lectures but it's best to bc then you don't have to look in the textbook.

He was a very good lecturer and gave practice problems that were exactly like the tests and quizzes. The homework took awhile but was worth getting good grades on the midterm and final. Would recommend studying the reviews and the in-class problems, don't waste time or money on the textbook. Overall, would recommend for this class.

i love him. BEST PROF i've ever had at northeastern. he makes physics seem simple compared to other professors. homework can be a bit challenging but exams are straight from his lectures.

best teacher i've ever had at Northeastern!!!!!

Professor Fotovatian is definitely a safe option for Calculus. Not going to lie, sometimes he would make me super mad cuz a lot of times his lecture examples had a lot of mistakes. But overall, he's a super fair grader and super nice, so still a really good professor. Way better than some other calculus professor that I hear of.

Lecture heavy, homework is completely optional, and if you have taken calc before, it is an easy A. Grade is based off of 6 exams and the final. Practice exams are super similar to the actual exams, and he is very understanding. He can get distracted during class, so sometimes he is hard to follow. I personally loved him!

Great professor. Lecture interesting

The lectures mainly consist of learning through examples, which is helpful if you take notes. He is also very clear about what is on exams, making studying streamlined and less stressful. Great professor- I recommend you take him for Calculus 2, Physics 1, and Physics 2. He often tells funny stories which help make the class interesting.

Prof. Fotovatian is a great professor. He is funny and clearly loves physics. Grades are from homework, biweekly quizzes, and the midterm and final exams, but there is a ton of extra credit on the homework and he is always willing to help. The difficult part of the class is the lab reports since they are worth 15% of the lecture course grade.

Assad is a good guy. Really funny and clearly knows the subject. He's very receptive to feedback when a student points out an error in his work. For his calculus one class, if you show up to class, take notes, and spend maybe 30 minutes after every lecture studying, there's no reason you shouldn't get at least a B.

Assad is a very caring and funny professor. I had him for Calculus for Business which is a very easy class especially if you've taken calculus before. If you haven't taken calculus before, the way he explains concepts may be very confusing. He is very knowledgable though and will take the time to explain something to you.

Assad was the best math professor I've ever had throughout my school life. He is also the funniest teacher I've had and his jokes would always make me laugh which I felt was needed in a calculus class. He made everything so clear and his practice tests were very similar to the real ones which prepared me very well. I 100% recommend taking his class

Assad was great. He derives formulas and does primarily practice problems. He's often late to class. Has an accent, but easy to understand. He gives notes on common mistakes and drops the lowest quiz. The practice exams he posts are exactly like his actual exams. Just find the textbook online for free. Easy if you took BC and just need refreshers.

Assad is the best. His lecture are very clear and he tells you exactly what you need to know for quizzes and exams. He does tons of practice problems that are similar to assessments. He is so sweet, I recommend going to his office hours whether you have questions or just to chat. I wish I had him for physics 2, he's truly the best!

This is by far the best profession I have had at Northeastern. His study guides laid out clearly what was going to be tested on the 6 exams we had before the final.

Assad is the best professor I've ever had! He makes class funny and enjoyable and explains difficult concepts really well. Outside of class I really recommend going to office hours he is very kind and is always willing to help.

Assad is a great professor. His lectures are very clear and goes through many practice problems in class. The practice quizzes and tests were exact representations of the tests and quizzes given in class. He cracks jokes throughout lecture and is very kind.

Physics 2 with Assad was a cakewalk over Summer 1. Super easy exams, similar in difficulty to the practice exams. Some questions on the homeworks and quizzes can be challenging, but the most challenging questions won't be on exams. Lectures are great but are very long and slow paced. Physics II Lab isn't hard, but is a time sink; some bad TAs.

Best professor I've had so far! As long as you go to class and do the homeworks this class isn't bad at all. Lot's of the examples that he does in class are really similar to the questions on the exam and you get a cheat sheet for the exam. He's super funny and I would really recommend going to his office hours. Final was hard compared to midterms.

MATH 1241- love love love! Definitely recommend having him as a professor. Everything is super straight forward. If you go to class, pay attention, and do the practice exams, you will do well. 6 tests that are each 10%, final is 40%. Attendance isn't mandatory and neither is buying a textbook, but I would recommend doing so.

Overall not a bad professor, he drops 1 out of 6 quizzes during the semester. He doesn't require homework but in return your whole grade is based on your quizzes/tests/final. Does a lot of examples in class for things on the quizzes/tests/final. He also gives out practice tests for everything which is the same questions just different numbers.

love the man. Just go to class, take notes (he writes everything down on the board you don't even have to listen to him), do the practice tests and quiz a day before your tests or quizzes and you're set. Super easy. HW is fun but not necessary as long as you're able to solve the problems you've taken in your notes, you're good. Just go to class!

Super kind, teaches through examples. You honestly don't even have to go to class to succeed. Gives practice quizzes/exams that are just like the actual thing. He confuses himself a little sometimes but nothing crazy. Definitely would take him again

Really kind and caring professor. I thought he did an amazing job explaining the concepts. His quizzes and tests were quite easy and homework was optional. He does teach a bit slow and get behind, he doesn't always cover everything and the final is harder than his tests. If you want an easier semester but more work during finals, take Assad.

Assad is such a sweet guy; he is very understanding and truly wants you to succeed. I only took pre-calc in high school so this class was def challenging for me, but he gave us extra credit to keep our grades as high as possible before the final, which is 40% of ur grade. He drops ur lowest test grade too, which helped my grade a lot. I recommend!

Great Professor, this was my second time taking Diff Eq's and he was so much better than my first professor. For Diff Eq's if you can't get loopi, Assad's the second best professor. Is a physics guy so if you're into that, you'll love Assad.

He is a very good professor. The class was graded only on tests which made it more difficult but he dropped the two lowest quizzes. The in-class midterms were nowhere near as difficult of the final. I had a 97 going into the final but ended with a B because of the final even when I got 10% above the average so study A LOT for the final.

Sweetest professor I've ever had. We had quizzes two times a week but if you paid attention in class they weren't bad at all. Most of the time the quiz questions were exact copies of problems we did in class. We also got to bring a cheat sheet for every quiz and test. The tests were harder than the quizzes, but you should do fine if you study.

All around good professor. The material is complicated and sometimes the explanations can be confusing, he writes a lot on the board, lots of example problems in class, and lots of quizzes and tests to see your progress. The finals was very difficult imo, as I did great in the class until the final. Good teacher, stay on top of the material.

I've taken this class twice and I can say, Assad genuinely helped me understand the mechanics of Calculus! I have issues with understanding certain concepts of calculus but his teaching style (thorough lecture, step to step explanation, expansion of confusing spots in explanations, and many examples) helped me understand the material a lot!

Definitely one of the better calc professors. He posts all previous quizzes and exams to help students study and he's very fair in grading on tests. Would definitely recommend

his tests are almost exactly like the reviews he posts, but there are 4 tests and 3 quizzes (your lowest quiz AND test grade are dropped). Very nice guy, definitely one of the best business calc professors here. His classes are basically just lectures, and participation is not mandatory, but he will answer your question in class if you're lost

He is a really sweet guy that is genuinely really invested in calc. You honestly get out what you put in, and in my opinion he makes it easy for you to succeed. He gives practice quizzes and tests on the material that are essentially the same as the actual test/quiz. One test and quiz dropped. He basically just writes the notes out in lecture.

Where do I start?I love this professor so much. He is always ready to help if you actually try in this class and are respectful. He is very good at explaining concepts in a very clear and easy to conceptualize way, also he makes lectures fun.Quizzes+exams were extremely fair. I would totally take him again if I had to take another class he teaches.

Overall, a chill and nice guy. If you've taken any level of calc before, the class is a breeze. The average on all tests/quizzes is about 85%. He posts lecture notes, which are clear and straightforward, and the assessment problems are basically the SAME as the practice ones. Makes jokes and is approachable outside of class.Take him for bus/econ!!

I thought he was pretty funny, and also a very caring professor. Can be slow at responding but he does get back to you eventually and is super flexible. If you're sick, he'll let you take the quizzes during OH and is super helpful as well. Overall, his teaching/lectures aren't great but he's a nice professor in general. Personally, I recommend him.
