Memorize! That is all there is to it. Word for word, memorize and you'll make an A! He spoon feeds it to you.
hubba~hubba, whatta hunk and oh yeah, he's a great govn prof, too :) key to his class is MEMORIZE everything!!!
His exams are verbatim. He doesn't want anything written other than what he speaks. However he's hard on the attendance and has no qualms stating your attendance to the class-very rude. He wont acknowledge your circumstances in respect to attendance.
makes govt fun and tells you the truth of american govt. MEMORIZATION is the key to his tests. poly sci, is my major and he makes it so fun. just dont be late to his class and dont miss any class and smooth sailing.
You dont have to be a good note taker for this class. he repeats everything for you until its written down. The tests are simple and essays are just based on you memorizing your notes but he tells you what needs to be memorized. interesting class
The Best teacher to take for govt. He really tries to connect with the students and is a good friend.
he is very good professor.
In this class there's 3 tasks to follow to make an A. (1.) Show up to class on time. (2.) Be in class everyday and also verbalize..get involved in class discussions. (3.) Memorize everything he sayd to you.
Just be on time, don't skip class, and memorize what he tells you to, and you will not have a problem getting an A in his class. His test is a little hard, but you still have 50 points on the momorization part so! very good friend beside professor
You are not expected to think in this class. Just memorize exactly, I mean word for word, the test material and you will make an "A" and don't disagree with him ever or you will be sorry. He was gone alot, yet expected students to attend every
I took govt.2301 before with .....but I could not keep up with him so somebody told me just take class with Asslan Khaligh that you can pass this class with a very good great.Therfore,I took class with him and I got an A!He is very honest,fairand funny.
Don't take his class during summer. It's hard.
This man is freakin awesome he is very easy to understand and he doesnt make you feel uncomfortable if you want to ask a question but make sure to register early or you will not get into any of his classes
he is the best teacher to explain government, and he make the class fune
Great prof. He jokes about his nationality and has a great sense of humor. Memorize what he says and attend every class without being tardy. Don't include emotion in discussions, only logic and he won't really hold a grudge. He knows his US and TX politics for being foreign born better than most.
He said "memorize word for word, but not verbatim" This was totally innacurate, and confusing We asked him what he meant, but he was defensive and just repeated the same phrase On the first test I had to point out that an answer WAS exact O, If you are conserv. the 1st amend doesn't apply to you
Awesome!! I totally recommend! Much more informative than most and lots of fun. Take his class if you want to learn, take anyone else's if all you want is a grade.
VERY GOOD TEACHER. i recomend him for both govt classes. very funny and makes it interesting to learn. tests are not hard but not easy, read ur notes and memorize the essays and u will do good.
very good teacher, he makes this class fun and interesting. plus he makes it easy to understand. i highly recommend his class to anyone who needs to take govt. i am looking forward to taking his 2302.
His teaching is awesome but he is a jerk I cofronted him about a comment he made about me and than he failed me with an F honest to God. He is an arrogant jerk and it is all about him and the way he thinks and if you don't like it tough. But dare not confront him he gets his way.
Very clear on what he expects from you. He does NOT tolerate tardiness or absences. I learned a lot from him but I won't deny that he is EXTREMELY ARROGANT
Bitter,Bad Additude and thinks to highly of himself. I got an A but I still could not stand him. If you like being around a negative person then he's for you. He is so strict on attendence even of you miss once he will hate you. Helpless
This guy is the funniest teacher I've ever had. Very strict on attendance but as long as you show up on time to class (like you're supposed to anyway) then you'll be fine. Also, don't take his class if you're a republican, he's very liberal and isn't afraid to voice his opinion.
Khaligh is awesome, he comes up with these stories that often relate to the political subjects that young adults could understand. All teachers should be like him. He's also a funny guy and who doesn't like funny, you need something to keep you up from all the studying.
As everyone says, very funny teacher, and clear on notes. However, you copy word for word, but rarely see it on the tests, except for essays. You NEED to read the book, which is something he didn't stress. He is passionate about govt, and you'll learn a lot. Yes,he stresses on tardiness,and absences
was not interested at all in govt. but after taking taking this class it's not so bad. my interest level for govt. is higher than ever. thanks to khalligh.
Good teacher...from Iran, and likes to laugh about it. This guy is hilarious...till you piss him off by not coming to class or being late. He will have a friggin cow!! He points out when you are absent the next class, and will have a fit for 5 minutes if you walk in late. Memorize his essays word for word, and you have it made!!! Easy A!
Bad teacher.
He's arrogant & liberal. Show up on time and stay quiet if you want to skate through. When he says "word for word" he MEANS it. He irritated me on a personal level, but I'll take him for Gov 2302 - easy now that I know what to expect. You will Memorize, not Learn-take very good notes, WORD FOR WORD like grade school, and spew it back on essays.
Very articulate, and funny teacher. He has a style unlike any other teacher, and you will learn alot in his class. Just dont be late or miss often.
this guy has to be the best prof i have ever had. i learned more in there than in ost of my other classes. and he knows how to keep people interested in the subject.
funny teacher and gives good lectures with plenty of funny jokes and is passionate about govt. like the others mentioned-nevver miss-or be tardy
Bad instuctor. Stay away you are better off taking Martinez.
This guys an ass. He tells you to study his lecture notes word for word but when it comes to the multiple choice section, his definitions are no where to be seen! He can be humorous at times but for the most part he's really pompous and arrogant. I didn't enjoy it but if you like to really work for things and get average grades, he's you're guy. Otherwise you'll have a hard time understanding him, with his think accent.
the best professor. his class is easy if you just take notes that he gives you word for word. the tests are straight from the notes all you have to do is memorize. i would def take another class taught by him.
a class that U already know if u can pass the test or not! because 50% is from essay and u already have world by world on your Notes... so just memorise the essay 50% and guess on the multiple choises lol and get a C! can't u do that? quite the college!
good teacher if you want to learn
Very Good Teacher. Tells you exactly how to pass.Is not arrogant as people say he is just plays around a lot. Dont take his jokes seriously and you will have fun in this class.
He wants students to learn definitions word by word which is good for the essay part at the test but then at the multiple choice part he changes all the definitions!! He does not let students be late and also does not let them be absent more than 4 times. He tells jokes that can offend the ideology or feelings of the students. Very strict teacher.
His essay test were very easy. Word for word from your notes you will write on your test you will be able to get 50 points automatic and you just have to pass the muiple choice. i will get a high B and i hardly study for the muiplte choice test
biased,democrat-always gives own views
Good teacher, strict but fair. Study the NOTES not the book and you'll pass. This is a good teacher so choose him and u will be happy. Ohh and funny too.
who cares if hes a demmy or repub? all u needs is a grade right? easy prof...got over 100 avg with bonus points. wish he taugh part 2 in summer
This instructor is very hateful. Do not take him, learning and memorizing are two different things. He is a bad instructor and let's you know right away. Stay Away.... Final is not from the book.
EASY TEACHER EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR TESTS HE GIVES YOU 50% OF THE TEST ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STUDY THE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION AND REMEMBER THE ESSAYS HE IS A FUN TEACH AND A VERY EASY "A"
Mr.Khaligh is one of the best pro.at that is very helpful and his teaching style is very uniqe.His tests are diectly from the notes so there is no supprising on the test.Just make sure read your notes carefully and then BINGO!!!!
Has a strong accent. Has many personal issues, and does not like people very much. But is very caught up in himself. Treats his students like kids.-Won't let you go to the restroom, or even be a few second late for class.
very strict professor, you have stay on top of material, he does give you the essay questions and answers that will be on test. you must learn them word by word.
The best teacher ever. Very friendly and funny, dont believe people who say otherwise. Tests are very easy, they come straight from notes, and you have to write an essay that is 50% of ur test. He also gives you all the questions to the final!! He also gives ur extra points if you're never absent. You must be an idiot to not get an A in this class.
Simply the best! Changed my major to govt. cause of him. Need more teachers like him. Gives you exact notes to copy down. Test are good and challenging, half mult. choice and half of essays he gives you in advance that he wants word for word! Very fun in class and just the best teacher i've had!
No Comments
I dont think his class is easy in the summer although he helps students and you come class each you pass class.
I stuck with his class was because he was easy. He writes everything word for word on the board that you need to know. But you better know it word for word, don't get creative. They aren't long definitions though. Always taking pot shots at the American system of gov't, refers to Marx a lot. He spews his views, but doesn't give you time for reply
No Comments
He is awesome. 50% of test is notes that he gives you 'word by word' and the rest is multiple choice. He is very entertaining and funny.ofcourse he talks bad about the american system.. all govt proffessors do lol. Overall it's a great class and an easy A.
with this teacher you never have to guess whats coming next he is very specific and very strict. His tests are easy but you have to memorize the essay questions (and they arent short despite what some other idiot might have said) and then you have 50 multiple choice. this teacher is not easy but there is a possibility of doing well in his class.
Best professor i have ever had just take notes and thats whats covered in the test. Essay questions for the test are given to you before the test with the answers so just memorize them. Highly recommend.
he spoke way 2 fast for me to take notes and then at the end of the semester,he waisted an hour of class time complaining about the test results!he should mind his own business and not worry about what other people do with their time!
Hilarious guy, very entertaining class. Tests are very straightforward - he tells you word for word what to write in your notes. As long as you pay attention and study hard, you should do fine. I learned a lot.
Mr.Khaligh is very fun besides being handsome!He is very strict about attendance,but this is only for your benefit so that you have all the material for exams.Memorize the essay portions and you will do fine on the exams.
Attendance is the key to obtaining an A in this class. Make sure you turn off your cell phone and not just on vibrate.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Very strict on attendance but that should be expected. I enjoyed this class much more than I expected to. He is very funny and class is very interesting. I liked it so much I am taking him again in the fall for 2302.
Professor Khaligh is a great teacher. In order to pass the tests you MUST read the textbook, study your notes and memorize the essays. That is it. Attendance is MANDATORY! Gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. If you don't do well on the first test, don't get discouraged.
This is a Great professor in this department. No textbook needed, just make sure you have time to memorize the essays for the test. EASY A in this class just make sure that you attend and arrive on time! Notes are also crucial but he tells you word by word what to write. Overall A+!
One the greatest Prof at SAC especially in that department. I've never liked politics and he made this class so interesting for me and it is very informative as well. He is great!! Come to the class and take the notes.
Great, interesting professor. Tests are from class notes, so take good notes and don't miss a class. There are 3 exams (50% mult. choice and 50% essays) and the final (100% mult. choice). He tells you which essays would be on each exam, and you must write them exactly as he tells you. But don't be afraid, it's not difficult at all.
Professor Khaligh is not exactly what you would expect from a Government teacher. He is very funny and he seems to believe that he is quite attractive...lol. His tests are very difficult but he makes sure that everyone knows that. DON'T BE LATE TO CLASS AND DON'T MISS CLASS!!! Make sure you read the book and take notes and you will do great!
One of the best teachers I've had!! He's awesome. Besides being handsome and having a sexy accent like he says, he is an expert in his field and gives great advise to his students. You do need to study hard for his tests, but they're not that bad. His humor makes the class fun and makes you have perfect attendance.
the most interesting teacher ive ever had in college. He is very wise and is clear in his teachings.
He is a gr8 professor, jokes a lot, gives a lot of notes and u just have to study them word to word and u can ease his test. He would make the subject lot more intresting than it is. I am looking forward to take him next semester
He's not a great professor, he's an easy and funny professor. Just memorize his notes and you'll pass, but memorizing is not learning, so you won't get much from this class. He truly believes he's hansome but he's not!
Most unusual prof Ive ever had. Heavy accent...takes time to get used to. DONT DARE MISS HIS CLASS OR LET HIM SEE YOUR CELL PHONE. He's fanatical about those 2 things. Note writing is a MUST! You must write word for word what he says. His tests are right out of his lecture. So tests are easy but lengthy and you have to study.
Very fun class. He uses humor to keep you focused and learning. Only 3 tests other than the final, but he tells you exactly what will be on them. Don't take him if you like to miss class though.
He was a great professor! Ive never had a professor that english wasnt his 1st language and i understood him with such clarity! his notes are what are on the exam, just show up for class and he'll do the rest. I took him during summer 1 and I recieved an A!!
He was really hard!! i took him because he got a lot of really good reviews on here but no matter how hard i tried i kept failing the few tests we took. I studied tons i went to EVERY class and i just couldn't remember the info word for word...which you need! he was funny though, i just couldn't remember so much info the way he taught.
I'm enrolled in the class presently and couldn't be more pleased with Khaligh as my instructor. He's fun and interesting. ATTEND ALL HIS CLASSES, it is mandatory for a improved grade. His questions on the tests are derived from his lecture. Although we never used our books, he encourages you to read it.
I would highly recomend Khaligh to anyone. He really cares about the subject he is teaching. He makes passing the class very easy, but he makes failing easy too. GO TO CLASS!!! He gives extra credit ALL THE TIME for good attendance!! And DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT!! The only grades you will have in this class are the exams.
He was a great professor. Just come to class everyday and take notes. He tells you exactly what to write, and everything on the test. I'm taking him again for gov't 2302. So Easy.
Aslan Khaigh is one of the weirdest teachers i've ever had. His class is soooo hard! Each exam you have to memorize a bunch of essays and write them WORD for WORD or he takes points off. He doesn't give you credit for your own opinion, unless it's also his opinion. I would not recommend this class to anyone, unless your a masochist.
He is the best teacher I ever had!! Makes class interesting. San Antonio College would have more teachers like him. He loves to teachs and he is very helpful. I really enjoyed this class.
I really enjoyed his class every much, he has an intersting way of teaching but makes it fun to learn. He tells jokes to get the class involved and really easy, Test are ok you have to memorize essay questions, you do the extra creditit will helo you :) Overall a really good teacher!
all you need to know is GO TO CLASS every time and you will pass he is a good teacher you dont really need the book...he hates ppl being late so you better not be or hell will call you out on it and says his class is not a bar to come as you please..lectures are in dept and you will learn so DONT BE LATE OR ABSENT if you are you will fail.
Awesome teacher, plz don't purchase book even tho he syz its req'd (IT'S NOT!)he will even tell u to read chp.s but you DON'T, o plz write this down!...rite ALL NOTES in class n study that, gives essay questions but gives u answer to essay ?'s EXACTLY how he wants them, just have to memorize! EASY A...
Awesome Professor!!! Take good notes from his lec and if you can memorize well, you will get an A. I did...
this professor is strict! Attendance is mandatory and he hates when ppl leave early without tellling him. He gives good notes for exam and you must read text book. Gives extra credit and some parts on exam can be tricky. As long as you go everyday and pay attention you will be fine.
He is rude and his comments are out of context. He is hard. Wants the essay question word by word, and if you give a synonym, takes points out of your grade. be careful!
its not that hard.. just show up to class and take notes... the 3 tests are not that hard but the final is.. 100 questions....
he is strict with attendence. he has humor that is a little hard to get sometimes but in overall i loved his class. show up, take notes. he tells you exactly what will be on the test
Attendance is a MUST!. If you like to memorize concepts WORD by WORD, you can take it.All tests are tricky; if you have a chance to take another professor TAKE IT!. He doesn't care about yourself. If you walk in late, he will blame you. Even if I study and ALWAYS come to class, and make all the extra credits, he gave me a D!!!!
Professor Asslan made the class interesting. He explained the text in lay terms, gave plenty of extra credit opportunities, offered a supplemental learning class. If you did not get an A, you did not earn it. The class was not easy, but if you studied and followed instructions you should have done well. Fun class!
He is a good teacher, he does not like people walking in late to his class, so if you are the type that wakes up at 7:45 for 8:00 class, dont sign up for this class or you end up with an F. If you work hard and care about your education, sign up, you wont regret, JUST DO WHAT EVER HE SAYS.
Overall his class is EASY (I got a B with some studying). He tells you EXACTLY what you need to know. BUT he like to run his mouth,doesnt respect your opinions but expect you to respect his. HE TALKS DOWN ON you GUYS ALL THE TIME,say guys are WORTHLESS, LIARS...look what they done to this world....If you can deal with that then you'll be fine.
At first I thought this Professor was very cool & funny. As the semester wore on though I began to really loathe this man. I showed up to every class and was never late to class. He treats his students like juvenile delinquents. He told everyone in my class not to take the second part of government with him cuz we couldn't handle it. WHATEVER!
Took him for summer 1. I fully regretted it! Hard to understand. VERY confusing instructions & tests. Very rude demeaning personality. Treats students like crap! I'm a 15 year Tx. Certified Paralegal. Would've rather sawed my right arm off with a butter knife. Hated his class. I DO NOT recommend this guy!....Take someone else....
Yes, he requires attendence- knowledge builds sequentially; no, he doesn't allow cell phones, texting, wii's, etc- no****, that should be a no brainer (when you get into the real world, and you text while your boss is talking-kiss your job goodbye); he teaches well, in a subject he cares about; if you want to learn-yes! need a credit- use internet
Mr. Khaligh is a very nice man. He is an excellent teacher and an expert on state and local politics. If you did get an A it's because you either did not study at all, or you did not attend class. His exams are straight forward from his lectures.
First if you do not understand traditional teachers you will have problems. He is strict on being on time and showing respect. If you do that and study his notes there will be no problem. He was very very fair and I absolutely enjoyed his class. Do his essays verbatim and you will smoke this class. Awesome teacher.
This man is a jerk! The 1st day of class he seems like a funny easy teacher. He's bipolar. Somedays he would come in pissed off & give a lecture about random things. He dropped me & didn't even tell me. He expects you to put word by word what HE says on the tests.
I HATED government going into college but Khaligh really made interesting! He is super funny and has a great look on the topic. If you take this class, you WILL take a lot of notes and you have to go to class EVERY time. His tests are so easy! If you fail this class, you are literally an idiot. He's a great teacher.
Very funny and makes everything understandable. He bases your grade on the 4 tests in his class. So you MUST take good notes and STUDY for the tests.
Very hard to understand, he's a jerk and makes jokes that aren't funny. He'll embarrass you if you are tardy to class. Lots of memorizing.
Worst professor I've ever had. Very hard to understand & follow. Tests are confusing. Definitely do not recommend this teacher!
doesnt speak good english is rude and will talk about things that dont apply to the class that are crazy easy questions on the test have to be writen word for word as he said them in lecture and if you change what he said to make it gramatically corect or in proprer english he will take points off
I took him a few over a semester ago and I admit I had to drop but I think he was easy at the same time. He gives you notes and you have to copy them word for word because you will need to write them for the essay. If coach Culpepper (a great professor) recommended him then I will take him again.
GREAT LECTURES, NO BOOK NEEDED, HE TAKES ATTENDANCE. IT IS AN EASY CLASS BUT HIS TESTS ARE HARD. YOU MUST RECITE WORD FOR WORD ON TEST ESSAY QUESTIONS. AT THE BEGINNING I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN EASY "A", I LUCKILY RECEIVED A "B". HE DOESNT TREAT STUDENTS FAIRLY.
Great professor. Makes the lectures very interesting and has a great sense of humor. He is very hard on absences and tardies but if you stick through it he definitely helps you out. If you respect him he will respect you but don't expect an easy A.
A very funny professor. He makes class very interesting by constantly telling jokes. But, attendance is ABSOLUTE MANDATORY!He WILL give you a hard time if you miss any classes. Definitely not recommend if you are in the Military, he is not military friendly. And if your work will make you miss even just one class, don't take his class.

he was a okay instructor at first then i would come into class a bit late and he would announce it to the world ! he hates to death computers and cell phones and he wants you to take notes with paper and pen like this is the 1900s ! he seems funny but then you realize he really isn't and he seems to hate on girls. so if you take him be ready to tak
He is a good professor as far as clarity and adds humor but if you have a life or a job then i would not recommend his class. He is definitely not the understanding type and makes no exceptions. Also grading on tests is very unfair. You must literally memorize word for word what he has you write during lecture. Overall i do not recommend.
took this proff. for summer 1. Govt is not my forte, but with a lot of studying I received a B. His classes are basically a lecture hall and pretty intense, I recommend him if you want a challenge especially during short sememsters!
Overall, i think he was a great professor. I took him for history in my first semester of college, and he outlined everything pretty well. You do have to memorize some things word for word, but they arent that hard to. Studying for tests is simple. you just study what he tells you to write down and you will Ace it.
The Best
He gives the notes in his lecture word for word on what you need to know. He tells you what essays will be on the test so you can memorize them. He even goes over the test AND FINAL before the exam so you know exactly what you need to study! How much easier can it get than that? If you have trouble with memorization, then he may not be for you.
Enjoyed this class. He gets off topic sometimes but his stories are usually pretty funny. I got an easy A. All you have to do is take down what he says and study what he gives on the review (everything is from the test). He also gives essay questions but they are pretty simple. I wish I had him for 2306.
This guy does notes WORD FOR WORD! However, he HATES electronics so dont bother bringing in your laptop or tablet. But here's the catch, even though his notes are word for word, there's a reason for that and it's because the essays MUST be word for word or you're getting that question wrong. AND he doesnt care why you're absent if you are too bad
Takes attendance every day. He is a very good instructor and this is an easy A if you do the work, which basically amounts to reviewing your notes and reading the book.
This class is an easy A if you do what you need to do, which is take good notes and read the book. He takes attendance every day and counts off if you are late too. If you think having to have your phone turned off and not using your computer in class is too strict, find another instructor.
No book needed. he says "please write this down..." and if you do and reread your notes your golden
He's an AMAZING teacher. So incredibly passionate in what he does, and he really wants you to succeed in his class/life. The tests are DIRECTLY from the notes, which he gives you word for word in lecture. He's hilarious, too. He hates electronics, so if you text/get a call, he'll get upset. Best teacher by far.
He is hilarious and interesting to listen to. Only complaints-- he is very strict about missing classes. He doesn't care if youve been run over by a car & can't get there bc "it has nothing to do w/ his class" He also makes you copy his grammatically incorrect essays word for word on the tests. Rewrite it in proper English & you'll lose pts.
Awesome teacher! When it comes time for a test he read the test questions and gives you the answer. He has 2-3 essays on test and he GIVES YOU the essay answer, you just have to memorize it. Also hand feeds you the notes. Also a lot of opportunity for extra credit!
He makes class very interesting with jokes. This class is super easy he tells word for word your notes and the exam questions are easy to answer because all of the answers are in your notes.
Do not take professor Khaligh he is very blunt and does not care who you are. You write everything down that comes out of his mouth cause he makes you. My grandfather funeral was on a day the review was given out and he did not bother to meet me so i can get the information given. He told me i had to pick my priorities. I dont recommend him ar all.
no need to buy text book gives everything in notes test are easy 1 or 2 days before test he gives you the questions from test all you have to do is look up answers & study those offers 10 extra credit point for each test by attending a speech easy class
the prof. tells you what to write down in your notes. memorize the answer to his essay test question ,extra credit. for the extra credit you have too attend a hot Potato lec. and Summarize it in a essay.
Took him for fed. Govt. and the test were somewhat hard. We had to memorize declarations and laws word for word for test. Oh yeah! Don't make him angry he will blurt out rude and inappropriate things even making the tests harder.
Professor Khaligh is a little difficult to understand and is obsessed with attendance so make sure you are in class for lectures. He is pretty straight forward and gives 4 tests. He also gives extra credit opportunities before every exam. The class ended up being pretty easy.
This class was very difficult. We had to memorize declarations word for word. The test were confusing every question sounds the same. Don't miss class because if you do he will embarrass you and will act crazy the rest of your time attending his class. Plus he gets temper mental when he sees electronics. So please don't bring them to class.
SO EASY...if you go to class everyday and write down everything he says and memorize it, you will make an easy A. Every test question is word for word from his lecture which you write down and your good. He writes down all the topics on the board so you can follow along good. He repeats things if you need it, I would take him again in a heart beat!
Professor Khaligh is an awesome teacher. He gives you all the notes that will help you on the test. He gives you the essay answers, but you do have to memorize word per word.if you study you will do just fine. He is a funny guy. I was never interested in gov't but he made lectures and learning fun. He does care about his students. No book needed.
this professor is highly recommended. had him for both federal government and Texas. !!
:(Some of these reviews are over rated! I had taken him at last minute registration. He told the class he didn't require a book. After he got upset with a student he then requested us to buy a book. In the beginning the test were rather fair until some students question him on his grading. He then started to make the test challenging and hard. C+
Easy class. The only reason I got a B is because I didn't study as I should have. You do have to memorize the essay word by word. Exams are easy, he will go through some questions prior to the test. Funny guy.
This guy is really funny. I found his class to be very informing and it was a class I actually wanted to show up to. He does expect you to memorize his essays almost word for word, and attendance is mandatory But I got an A and really enjoyed the class.
Doesn't take questions in class or use Canvastechnology. Very specific in giving you almost all the questions on his tests & you must memorize your essay responses WORD for WORD. Attend, pay attention, take notes, create a study sheet for the questions on the test and this will easily get you a B+ to an A+. Likes to lecture on moral lessons.
Wasn't it funny reading his first name? I thought so, but turns out he embraces his Iranian heritage. The first few weeks of class are funny until you realize that his essays (I'm sure you will find on other reviews) are WORD FOR WORD. On the brightside, just study & you will be fine. Hope you know how to write fast & understand him. Good luck!
Prof. Khaligh was pretty awesome! I'm a straight note & test guy, & if you are too, he's the right guy for you! His tests aren't so tough if you take decent notes. Does offer a bunch of extra credit (all though minimal) they do seem interesting (I worked full-time & couldn't attend some events :( ) funny, smart, & engaging. Would take again!
"Doesn't take questions in class or use Canvas technology. Very specific in giving you almost all the questions on his tests & you must memorize your essay responses WORD for WORD. Attend, pay attention, take notes, create a study sheet for the questions on the test and this will easily get you a B+ to an A+." Agree completely.
Had him for GOVT in the evenings. Its ALOT of writing but ITS WORTH it to take notes. His tests are exactly from the notes. just study! I could have got a B but I got a C+. I passed though!)
Took this class in the summer 8wk course. I personally didn't use the book much, his lectures cover all the materials for the test. As long as you're in class and write down word by word what he says and you'll be fine. He is very picky on wording so just memorize things.
Yeah he gives you all the questions for the tests and essay portion (FYI you have to memorize EXACTLY what he says or he will take off points), but if you happen to bomb one of his four tests, you're screwed. I made a 77, 82, 85 and a 70 and made a C in the class. He literally has no other grades. Strict on attendance. I would never take him again
- Gives questions from test - Gives essay questions from test. Must be written using words he gives - Lots of writing. He tells you what to write in notes - Do NOT need textbook He's actually really nice. He gives a lot of advice and he's really funny. But just STUDY your notes. He gives you all the answers in them you just need to find them
Great interesting Professor. His tests are difficult if you don't study. He has major lectures every class,WRITE DOWN EVERY WORD. He gives you the questions that will be on the test,Just go through lecture notes to find the answers. Study them because if you don't memorize his paragraphs he takes off points for every single error.
Professor is hilarious and lively. No technology allowed (computers, phones), he doesn't even use power points. He writes every topic on the board and while he lectures, he tells you exactly what to write. The notes line up exactly with tests. Downside is the only grades you have are tests, so very easy to get a low grade if you slip up once.
Even though he gives you questions that will possibly be on the test, there were plenty of ones that were a surprise. It is ideal to write down EXACTLY what he says for essay portions of the tests otherwise it is points off.
I really enjoyed this professor class. I'm not into learning about government but he made class entertaining. Always cracking jokes. If you take his course just make sure you write everything he tells you to write and pay attention. Never be late or miss class. It's an easy course just have to listen and make sure to study.
Professor Khaligh can be strict on attendance and requires you take notes. He literally tells you what to write down and gives you every single question on test to study. He also gives you the essay questions with the answers word for word. He has a heavy accent but its understandable. He really cares about his students and always gives extracredit
be ready to take a whole bunch of notes. Does NOT allow people being late or ANY use of cellphones or people talking. No homework or textbook. However, tests are usually 50 multiple choice and there is a writing part. On the writing part, answer EXACTLY the way he tells you because he is a really though grader.
Really enjoyed his class. Don't need the textbook, just show up to class and take notes. Everything you need is from his lectures and he will literally tell you what to write on the test questions. He only gives 4 tests throughout the semester but if you payed attention in class you'll do fine and he gives a few extra credit options.
Tough class when it comes to Exams. You only have 4 exams no popquizzes or assignments. Just go to class EVERYDAY so you don't miss his lecture. He gives you all the notes and essay answers needed for the exams. The key is to memorize the ESSAY answers WORD for WORD. Literally because thats where the majority of your points are. Txtbk not needed.
great professor, extremely funny, caring and very passionate about teaching government,. will defnitely take again
Asslan Khaligh's teaching style is very straight forward and easy to follow, primarily consisting of lectures and note taking (Which he literally tells you what to write), as well as some life experiences he includes within his lectures. His class was one that I will always remember, and would recommend to any one. Khaligh is an excellent professor
The essay portions of the test will screw you up if you dont write down what he says WORD FOR WORD. He tells you the essay questions for the test and the EXACT THINGS to write down that will be right. However you need to memorize the entire question too cause the day of the test he wont even give you that! Hell just be like taxes. Funny guy tho
Asslan is a GREAT professor, gives you notes & essays word for word, & gives the test questions as a review. You have to memorize the essay questions which really isn't that bad. If you have to miss class just let him know, he will work with you, just make sure you get the notes. textbook isn't needed. If you don't pass its your own fault. EASY A!!
Professor Asslan is awesome! The only con of his class is ABSOLUTELY NO electronics are allowed during his lecture, even laptops. But, he knows his stuff and is very passionate about his students and what he teaches. He is leaving SAC soon so take him while you can! I definitely won't forget his class. Take him seriously and bring a recorder!
Write down all definitions and do his extra credit. Dont fall asleep or text or he will call you out.
Professor Khaligh is a good professor. Write everything down, he will give you keywords for essays so write those down as well. No electronics at all, record his lectures, gives you the questions so you know what will be on the exams.
very good prof
Professor Khaligh is amazing. This is one of my weaker subject, and he made it understandable. If you show up every day to class on time and take notes, you will pass!! He is very engaging and makes lecture interesting. I didn't get the textbook. He's very organized.
It was a pleasure to be in his class, honestly learned more in his class then my first government class. He shared his life stories, and tried to make us laugh each class, those who are young students may not have gotten his jokes but i'm an older student and loved his class. got extra credit each week and free hot potato. Great Professor!!
This was my first semester, and I was lazy but Khaligh would always make the lecture fun. I did take notes, and studied as I did, but not enough if it wasn't for all the extra credit things would have ended up badly lol. He is very understanding, and tells all these jokes. It is hard to understand him sometimes so record his lectures!
I swear, most of the individuals who gave negative feedback were most likely slackers. Khaligh was a great professor! He would always answer any questions when needed, gives you extra credit opportunities, no assignments just exams, and goes over a review for each one. If you want an A+ take this professor! He's hilarious! And demands you show up!
Very inspiring. Made is proud of getting a higher education to better ourselves. He has touched our hearts and that even if we never meet again, he will have made a lasting effect on us that will push us to be better people. 4 essays (lots of writing but if you take good notes you'll be fine, esp if you read textbook), 4 exams (2reg,Midterm,&Final)
I took his online class for Summer I & it was super easy. There were 3 "research" essays & 3 tests. The research essays are simple, he just tells you to write down everything in your notes. The tests are open note too so they're pretty easy. He gets off track a bit & talks a lot so it's easy to multitask if you have other work to do.
