Gives you all the answers to tests and is very helpful. He wants his students to be successful and is very kind as well. Downsides include: thick accent, monotone voice, and he is quite liberal
This guy is hella easy and he gives 80% of the all his tests, no final. I took Farhangi during the summer in Sacramento City College for Macroeconomics. Take this course with Farhangi.

It's a pretty easy class, just lots of memorization for tests and you take lots of notes. His accent can be hard to understand at times but it gets easier towards the end. There's no extra credit but he does offer re-takes on tests if you score below a 'C'. Great guy, really cares about his students
He is sometimes hard to understand and goes off on alot of tangents. There is alot of memorization for tests, but he gives you almost all the stuff before hand.
Very easy; gives you everything you need for test and practically tells you what will be on there. Talks a lot about more than economics. He gets you interested in a lot of different things, and somehow he will relate it all back to economics.
Easy class if you study, he tells you exactly what is going to be on the test. If you are willing to memorize really stupid graphs you'll get an A, you must make them perfect though. He strays from topic all the time, very boring.
Hella easy, he gives you 80% of the test, all you have to do is memorize the stuff and take the easy A. Easiest class ive ever taken.
yes this teacher is very easy. i was the one student that always showed up, wrote what was on the board and then left. he writes everything on the board before class starts, and then rereads everything. make sure you sign in on the sign up sheet and your set. also memorize the mock test perfectly.
Little effort required
He is a very easy teacher and really cares about your opinion. He gives you 80% of the answers to your test so if you get less than "C" in his class-- you're just an idiot.
Best teacher I ever had, very caring,and very smart.Good understanding of global economy. If you are interested in goloba economy take his class.
Best economics teacher at Sierra College. He makes a boring subject very interesting. Very smart and very pleasant. Goes out of his way to help the students .I wish we had more teachers like Professor Farhangi.
The instructor taught the class exceptionally well.I learned a lot from this class, and more so than before I stareted.I recommend that a lot of teachers can be looking at Dr. Farhangi as a example
I liked Dr. Farhangi's way of teaching.I learned more from him and his teaching techniques,than I have from almost any other isntructor.
gives u 80% of test so u should at least get a "B". Goes off topic A LOT for 10-20 mins at a time. Give a grade for attendance too, but never takes role. just show up and copy down everything on the board (especially the graphs) and u got at leat a "B". Easy, easy class.
One of the most intersting classes I have had.I enjoyed it very much,I felt that we all conterbuted our opinions and they were respected. There should be more teachers like Mr. Farhangi who lets you experess your views
Dr. Farhangi is the most interesting professor I have ever had. He made a subject that is known to be the most boring, into something very interesting b/c he incorporates his real-life experiences to the lessons and humors us when we need it. It shows that he really cares about his students and their success. Just b/c he gives 80% of the test doe
Dr. Farangi was one of the most interesting professors I have ever had. He stresses critical thinking and makes the class very enjoyable. I would recomend his class to anyone who is interested in learning. You can tell when a instructor really cares about his students, and Dr. Farangi is one of those instructors.
Mr. F is a very interesting teacher. He teaches in a way you can understand and memorize things easier. Little hard to understand accent because he is soft spoken. HE CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS and very helpful. I did awfulon on test #1 but he told me not to give up and study hard. I took his word of advice and success! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!!
His accent can be a bit difficult to understand, and he is teaching a VERY dry subject at a low level, so he can be a bit boring. However, he tries hard to make things interesting, and if you write down everything presented during the lectures you will get an A in the class.
i actually like this teacher, he cares about his students passing his class so he offers 80% of the test before take. the class was fast b/c i took it over the summer. u will learn a lot from him but u need to sit in front of the class to hear his accent. i'm so BUMMED out, he doesn't teach ECON 1B cuz he said it's BORING. easyA, take him take him!
he is the man
Great teacher, always keeps the class on their toes...sometimes because he's hard to hear but mainly because of his teaching style!
If you have to take econ, try to get this guy, you won't regret it.
Cool, funny, and ****in crazy!!!
Best economics teacher at Sierra College, very knowledgeable, a great scholar, and very student oriented. I am a student at the Stanford University, I took Dr. Farhangi,s class during the summer, I was very impressed, I wish he was teaching at the Stanford.

never check email..hard marking..write the notes in the lesson, but not enough time to let ppl finish copying fr the board, but he starts his lecture. you will have pop quiz!!!hate it a lot..
Professor Farhangi is the best teacher I ever had, very helpfull, cares about the students, I thank the Sierra college for having him as a teacher.
A great teacher , his summer classes atract students from the top universities from all over the west coast. I took his class last summer I loved every minute of it. Professor Farhangi, is very smart, and he knows his subject .
excellent teacher!!! he pretty much tells you what is going to be on the test and writes all of the notes on the board for you. Although its easy he is a pretty interesting guy and incorporates alot of discussion into his class. Fantastic teacher- Take his classes!!
Wants students to do well in his class. Essentially copies bullet points & graphs from textbook onto board. Tests require memorization of graphs and quizzes are T/F questions that are mostly unfamiliar unless you read the text, which is the only homework. A nice intro to Macro Econ, but the classes could've easily been 1/2 hour vs. 2 hours or more.
He's cool. 4 exams which you need to regurgitate information pretty much word-for-word. Sometimes takes half the period to write lectures on the board, but he does his best to teach the material. Very funny at times, wants you to succeed, and very inspirational. I've never heard someone say "you can reach for the stars" before. I recommend.
wow this teacher is really really easy, but is a waste of time to be in this class if you really want to learn econ. He gives you 80 percent of the test upfront. There are four easy test, and that is pretty much your grade. If you really wanna learn take someone else.
This class was the bomb. If you meorize what he gives you for notes you will have an easy A and read the book the quizes are simple. Great Professor if I had more like him my college carreer would be more enjoyable!
This class is hella easy. All you do is show up to class write what he has on the board. He will tell you 80% of the test from his notes. You dont need a text book. If your going to take Econ make sure u take him no easier and tight teacher than this guy. Easy A
He sucks, I would not recommend him at all. He can not hear and most of the time he does not understand what you are asking. He does not use the book so don’t buy it, and his test is all graphs and memorization of exactly what he wants, not the information that he teaches and if you make ONE mistake you failed the hole test. He is not helpful an
excellent teacher, I highly recommand him
BEST ECON TEACHER! He's a really nice guy who ACTUALLY cares about his students and their grades. He really wants to help you get an A. He gives 80% of the test before hand(you can't mislabel graphs or its 0) and 20% is multi choice from the book. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! He also very funny and doesn't try to make you believe what he believes.
He's a nice guy and gives you all the answers to the exams. You have to study and memorize word for word. I got all C's on my exams and the final I am not sure but got an F. So you decide.
Really cares about his students. If you go to class, he will give you 80% of test materials. The other 20% is pretty straightforward. He is definitely a little hard to understand sometimes (very thick accent), but he really tries to make things easy to understand. He will even let students retake tests for partially improved grades.
Best teacher I ever had, goes out his way and beyond the call of duty to help the students. I wish he was my father. He dresses very professionaly.
Absolutly the best teacher. He goes out of the way to make sure that you understand. He does have a thick accent, however, he will stay after class or meet with you to make sure you understand the material. He gives you 80% of the test up front fror you to memorize. He is getting ready to retire so take hime before he goes!!!
Anti American !!!! All he says is to persuade you that America is evil and the worst country on earth. You hear that at least three times per class. He cant understand your questions either. If you try and challenge him, he will make up some stories or "statistic figures" to prove his point. Take his class if you want to go nuts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is a great American, and very patriatic. He cares about students , and he does every thing to help them to succeed. I learned more from him than any other teacher.
This teacher gives you 80% of every test so its easy to get a good grade. He is very difficult to understand and sometimes makes comments that can be offensive. The material is dry and and he tries to make it fun but doesn't succeed. You can't win them all!

Provides 80% of material up front - however it must be repeated verbatim on the tests. We are talking about many paragraphs and charts. I found this class extremely difficult and not very educational. You spend most of your time trying to memorize the text/charts for the tests and not learning econ concepts.
I took his class this spring, I liked the class, he is very knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humore. Take his class you will like it.
If you can memorize information verbatim then this class will be an easy A. However, I can't compliment Farangi too much, he can be very rude, closed-minded, and offensive.
He is caring,and he goes out his way to help the students to succeed. Fahangi is fantastic.
His teaching style is excellent, his grading is clear,faire,and oriented to help the students to succeed.His business, and academic experience makes him a perfect economics teacher. I hgihly recommand him.
Great teacher, learned a lot, easy A. must take good notes, and have a good memmory
Good guy took the class as a summer course. Easy class and you learn a lot. Gets the class involved every day. Memorize the notes from class. To fail this class you have to try to fail.
Take really good Notes. He will GIVE you what you need to memorize for the test. He plays devil's advocate because he wants you to use your brain. He is really a good teacher.
This class is easy if you take time to do the memorization. The only downside is you walk away with nothing, the memorization doesn't help one bit because there is no application. If you want to learn you might want to take someone else.
Very clear in lectures and his class is extremely interesting. I am an econ major and I found his lectures to be helpful for my future econ classes. He gives you 80% of the exams before the exam is taken, so basically you just memorize that and review your lecture notes. To fail this class, you would really have to try hard at it.
Great Teacher, really knows what he is talking about. Gets everybody involved, so class isn't boring. If you have a good memory and common sense than you wil do great.
He's the easiest teacher ive ever had in muh intire life. I didnt need to use the book a lots bcauz he's already given out 80% of the test for us, so u automatically gonna have 80%=B in ur tests already. so u either gonna have an A or B overall. Theres no reason ones could fail this class, seriously.
I love this teacher! He really wants his students to learn. If you want an A on the tests all you have to do is go to class and take notes. It's fairly easy. The only thing is he has kinda of an accent.
Such a lame class! Easiest grade ever, but don't plan on learning a single thing! I can't believe students actually like this class. Prepare to be bored and irritated. You never need to open the book or take notes, just go to the class before the test to get the review and memorize to get an A.
Best teacher i have ever had at sierra! so easy. go to class, take notes. He gives u everything thats on the test so you should just memorize it. Very easy tests as well. Take this guy and you'll pass for sure! he's funny and definitely likable. He really wants his students to pass. Ps sign up early, his class fills up fast
Save your $$$-Don't buy the book!He gives you 80% of the exam the day before the test. You only have to be able to memorize. Easiest class ever, therefore easy A.
The class was fairly easy, come to class take good notes, but I found his personal comments to be offensive to my religous views, even though he claims he is tolerant to all religoins. I also found it hard to read and understand his notes.
He was a good teacher with a thick accent. I recommend him because he is really humorous but you have to take his tests and quizzes seriously. 4 tests, gives you 80% to memorize, 4 quizzes (which were difficult), no extra credit, docks your grade if you miss class, must read the text!
I took this class, and didn't learn a single thing. He does give you 80% of each of the four test to memorize, so he isn't that hard, except if you miss one little arrow or title thats not even important, he takes off like ten points. I regret taking his class, he is rude and sick minded, and he constatly puts almost every religon down.
Excellent teacher, I highly recommend him
Farhangi is not a nice man. I took his class as a high school student, and he thought that I would be immature and stupid because of it. He judges everything as quickly as possible and he refuses to listen to other people's opinions. I did get an A very easily, so if you just want to get in and out with an A, take it, but he is not nice.
He is the best teacher I ever had , very motivating, and helpfull. He goes out of his way to help the students to succed.
He is extremly nice, very kind,and a good motivator. His teaching style is excellent, and makes you think. Best teacher I ever had.
i highly reccomend not taking this class with this teacher. i have never gotten a grade below a B in a class, but in his class i got a C. for the tests you have to memorize paragraph answers (atleast 12 sentences) word for word. if you get one word wrong you get no credit for any of it. he is also rasist. this teacher is on a power trip.
Personally, I found the class to be pretty straight forward. Tests are easy if you can memorize things verbatim, I cannot. I found him to be overly judgemental and he belittles students in front of the whole class.
Easy A
On the first day of the class he told us what to expect.He has a high standards.Very informative, and excellent teacher. He was polite and very respectfull of students. He is the best techer I ever had.
I absolutely LOVED his class.This class is for OPEN minded people ONLY...You either LOVE him or HATE him.I came out of the class with a new perspective on the world. There is a bit of a language barrier... so his T/F quizzes are hard to understand... but if you can memorize the notes VERBATIM you will ace the tests!
1. His lectures are very interesting 2. Always stays on top of the latest business and economic news 3. Tests are very fair and makes the students learn 4. He has a world view on economics and he traveled many countries which helps him better understand and present book material 5. He had CORRECTLY PREDICTED this economic meltdown (recession)
He was a really nice guy and pretty funny, I learned a few things, but I had trouble with some of his off topic discussions, on who we should vote for like it was any of his buisiness. It was funny too because he claimed he was "tolerant" yet he called people crazy for believing certian things. If you don't mind being offended take this class
Dr. Farhangi's class was fun to be in. If you are down with business & politics and, watch your CNN, you will dig this class. He challenged those that needed it. Best bet for econ at sierra.
Great Professor, humanitarian, teaches in a clear manner and requires a mid-term and final but, he prepares with you thoroughly just need to memorize key points. Not biased to political views and encourages you to think for yourself. Class discussions are entertaining. I love this professor and I am greatly thankful for being in his class.
Avoid this prof if u are a conservative thinker or religious in the least bit.He will ask you for an opinion and then tell you how you're wrong. He seems to think it is a political class and goes of on tangents. He gives you 80% of test questions but you must memorize. if you miss one thing you lose the points. WONT EVER TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM AGAIN
all memorization, thick accent, got an A but I can't retain anything from the class, he requires you to memorize definitions and concepts verbatim for tests, funny guy though, not recommended if you want a good economics foundation
A great teacher,I looked forward for his class, he is highly educated, he speaks many languges.He has very high standards.He is very talarent of different ideas. I highly recommend him.
he is really hard to understand and spells almost every word wrong. it's really hard to understand what he's asking on the quizzes. don't take him if you actually like econ because you don't really learn anything.
THIS IS A EASY CLASS IF YOU DONT MISS THE TESTS AND CAN MEMORIZE STUFF. HE IS A HORRIBLE TEACHER THOUGH AND YOU WILL NOT LEARN ANYTHING IF YOU MISS A TEST EXPECT TO FAIL THE MAKE UP AND THE CLASS. DONT TRY TO REASON WITH HIM HE COULD NOT CARE LESS.
Yes, he is a nice guy...or can be. His class requires you to memorize paragraphs of information verbatim. It is safe to say that I now know less about economics than before I took the class. I am baffled by the positive comments about him on this site.
He is class is super easy, it would take more effort to fail than pass. I am amazed at the amount of negative comments on here. He is such an intelligent professor and will go beyond the text to what actually happens in the world. Most people dont like him because he speaks his mind and goes against what people say in class, just as we do on here.
What's good: Gives you most of your test questions and discusses current events. What's bad: Very biased toward socialism. Doesn't present capitalism or classical economic theory as it is so you can decide for yourself what you believe. If an Econ major, read "New Ideas from Dead Economists" before class starts.
Completely biased toward socialism and if you try to oppose his views, anything you say is simply "propaganda". Memorizing is mandatory and you will learn absolutely nothing. No one in the class I was in could stand him because he would try to force socialism and "universal health care" down our throats. Talks about Keynesian theory EVERY day.
On the first day of the class he told us that his class emphasizes graphs,and memorizing concelpts, and theories, and the text book is dominated by Keynesian theory, so he explained the book.He is an excellent teacher, and very respected natinaly, I learned a lot, and I am glad I took his class.
Great teacher and really easy class. He gives you 80% of the test in the practice test. Literally exactly the same. I can understand the comments saying he promotes socialism and stuff but it really doesn't effect how well you do in the class. He is a really nice person with a lot of interesting background. You have to be an IDIOT to fail.
he understands the topic very well, but has a slanted view and is very bias toward socialism, however, despite what others who have commented say, he DOES promote you expressing your own opinion and still wont agree with you, but doesnt ostracize you for it, and your opinion doesnt effect your grade, but rather your understanding of the concepts.
He is an excellent teacher,and very educated.
Check what you have been smoking ,professor never told us 80% of world economy is Marxist or socialist.He is an excellent teacher,and narrow minded people do not like him.
This teacher is very informative, though sometimes you don't know what he is talking about because of his accent, which makes the class entertaining though. He gives 80% of the test the day before you just need to know it EXACTLY word for word as he gave it to you. he provokes arguments he is super funny. i would def recoment or take him again.
Do yourself a favor and read "Naked Economics" before taking this class so you have an objective view of the subject. Professor is biased towards socialism, which he's free to do, but should also represent capitalism equally.
He gives you the test answers(80% of them)before every test. English is far from 100%, but this is a smart guy. He has done a lot with his life and wants you to succeed. Attendance is 10 points/ 450 possible for the course. Do the math, you don't have to show up. Show up on the days before a test. My test AVG = 95. PARTICIPATE and the class is fun!
i didnt like this class at all, the debates that stirred non-stop got under my skin and he provokes these arguments just to get us fired up. he is good for giving us 80% of the test answers, just barely lectured on the material in the book. always wanting you to "attack" the other student's opinion. not my cup of tea.
If you are majoring in economics or are interested in the subject DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! 90% of the class is just a sociology lecture with student participation. The other 10% is going over these mind numbing graphs. Thank god for the book! Get ready to draw graphs about 100 times the night before the test because it has to be perfect.
Dude,economics is all abut the graphs,and it shows that you know nothing about the economic,the professor is an excellent teacher ,very knowlegeable,and very helpfull,and I highly recommend him
SUPER EASY CLASS! Everyone should be able to receive an A /B. Do not miss the test on the day of the test day; the make up exam is EXTREMELY HARD! U will fail it trust me!Hes a funny guy. The lectures are not always related 2 the material being taught in the class however,they can be interesting. Dont buy the book because u dont really need it.
Mr. Farhangi's class is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. He gives you 80% of the test questions (which are graphs you memorize) and the rest is multiple choice. Although his lectures are very liberal and one-sided, an "A" is easy if you know the graphs. You can get an "A" without the book.
Really nice guy.Went off on a million and one different tangents that had nothing to do witht he content we were supposed to be covering though. And he dislikes back dwellers and well educated republicans with strong opinions. Study the few graphs he gives you. DO NOT MISS A TEST!, I failed one though and the "makeup" was just corrections for 70%.
Tests are easy if you have the ability to memorize exactly what he tells you is going to be on the test. Not much learning going on beyond his political opinions which are so far left it really effects his ability to teach. Refers to any profitable business as the "corporate mafia" and bashes the GOPs political ideology more than he should.
He cares a lot aobut his students ,and goes out of his way to help them to succeed,very knowledgeable,and very educated,he encurages his students to be a critical thinkers,he is able to turn a very boring subject to one that I was looking forward to go to his class and listen to his lectures.
He's funny at times, but don't forget to read the text and join in the discussions. They seem off topic at times, but are relevant and engaging. Tests are super easy if you can memorize. He gives you 80% of the answers the day before and the other 20% is true/false. Seems to be loosing it some upstairs, but he really cares about your education.
He literally gives you 80% of the test before you have to take it. And you have plenty of time to copy it down. You are require to memorize some information, so it may be difficult if you have trouble with that, but overall you always know what to expect on the tests which makes it super easy to ace. He's a really smart guy.
If you're serious about economics you will avoid this teacher. He doesn't really teach economics, but rather entices political debate. This class is a joke and intellectually void. I am about as politically left as you can get, and this guy is a moron. He is full of himself. If this man has a Ph.D. in economics, then ANYONE can get one.
He is a good teacher and knows his stuff. A little too pushy on his political party and tries to have you side with him. Tests are easy if you are good at memorizing the study guide "WORD FOR WORD". Speaks English but not too well so it's hard to understand him sometimes. DO NOT MISS EXAMS! The make ups are very different and more difficult.
Loved the class,good taecher,well versed in econmics,and very competent
I don't know why people are complaining, I learned a lot and you can learn a lot too. He is very educated and gives you 80% of test questions which you must memorize word for word. 4 quizzes, which are 5 questions True or False. Attendence is mandatory. Love his class, taking him again for 1B.
This class is easy if you are good at memorizing things WORD FOR WORD. If you leave one word or arrow or anything out, he will probably give you a 0. Otherwise, easy to get an A. Farhangi is not very approachable in my opinion. He was extremely unclear. Discussion can be interesting. Didn't really learn anything other than I have a good memory.
To get a B in this class requires no work other than blindly memorizing what he tells you to memorize. To get an A in this class though is just plain stressful. You're forced to memorize key terms from the book word for word. Get a word off? Wrong. This professor can't teach. You won't learn. But you'll get your shiny check mark next to your name.
This professor is a very informed ,and highly educated,also very demanding,if you are looking for an easy "A" for get it,on the other hand you want get a first class economics education he is the one to take.
Yes he's as easy as everyone says he is. But wow. They way he taught; I could have taught the class. He can't do anything without his notebook close at hand, you ask a question, he fumbles the answer. He very opinionated but doesn't have the evidence to back any of it up. It was horrible. Get ready to watch the clock if you take him.
He is the best Microeconomics teacher,I learned a lot,he makes a boring subject intersting,and relates to current econimcs,I highly recoommend him
Not a bad class. The day before a test he gives you 80% of the answers (memorize them verbatim.)He's a funny guy, but don't cross him because that's when things get ugly. Also, be on time--always.
Farhangi is a nice guy and can be pretty funny at times. He also gives you 80% of test questions. That being said, the class is somewhat of a joke. He is overly pedantic and I found the class to be a complete waste of time. I also never understood his logic in giving quizzes after tests.
I think Farhangi is a great teacher,he knows his subject very well,and he is the best economics teacher in the area.He is awsom,and very egaging.
I like this teacher very much,he talks a lot about the global economy,and he has opened my eyes to the world beyond,his grading is hard but he gives you 80% of the test questions.
He wasn't helpful. He was only helpful if you fit in on HIS schedule. I attended his class every day even when I was sick and he still marked me off of attendance. If he does not like your class you're screwed. He's bad with grades. KEEP YOUR QUIZZES AND EXAMS. He'll screw up for sure.
Excellent teacher. If your non major and need this for your mandatory degree this is for you!!! Gives 80% of tests. Although quizzes are after tests which is a downer. Just follow everything he gives you and it's an easy A. Better than the other econ teachers I had and failed. I recommend him :)
A great teacher,very helpfull,and also he is well educated in economics,and I highly recoomend him
He doesn't even teach the material really, the tests are graphs and definitions you must regurgitate word for work verbatim or you will fail. I needed this particular class or I would have dropped.
Tests are easy but you need to study for the quizes because they are a free for all and very difficult. Other than that class is cool!
Professor Farhangi is an ideal economics teacher,because he has a combination of the business management,and teaching experience.He is a very dedicated to help his student ,and he is very informative,and intellectual.Conservatives do not like him because he is not an acho chamber for them,I learned a lot,and I highly recommend him.
Did not enjoy the class. He may know economics, but he also pushes his opinion a little too much. For example he basically feels that you should do whatever is best for the economy, no matter what. And its not just "conservatives" that don't like that. PS if you literally leave off one word on a test, you will be marked down substantially. MEMORIZE
Dr. Farhangi told us on the first day of the class how he is going to grade us,he was up front and clear.He gives us 80% of the test questions,he holds a mock test before real examination to prepare us for the real thing and he has a toturing session before exam,he does every thing to help us to succedd,He is very knowledgeable,and a great teacher.
Literally the worst teacher I have ever encountered. If you enjoy not learning a thing, but receiving an "A," then this is the class for you. Anyone who states that this professor is knowledgeable clearly illustrates that he/she did not learn a thing in his economics class- if you can even call it that. It's more like simplified indoctrination.
Professor Farhangi uses a lots of graphs and economic theories in his lectures,if you like graphs and theories this is the class for you,otherwise stay away from him.I loved it.
Good professor. 80% of test is given on review day, and the rest is from the book. Pay attention in class and read your book, no reason to not get a good grade. Quizes are hard, and are quite random. FORM A STUDY GROUP!
If you don't care about economics at all and you just need to take this class because of a requirement, take him. If you DO care about actually learning, I strongly discourage you from taking this course. He tells you exactly what you need to memorize for tests, and thats it... It Doesn't matter if you learn anything to him. Terrible instructor.
If you want learn about economics take him.Farhangi, is the best in the West,very smart,and loves teaching.
There is no doubt that he has a brilliant mind for economics, but he cannot teach to save his life. You will memorize graphs and definitions every day, but they are all abstract -- he never effectively demonstrates why they matter or how they effect the market, and any examples are very pigeon-holed and specific. LOVES to talk about his opinion.
Professor Farhangi thank you for the great education I got in your classes that I took from you,you were an incredible asset to the Sierra College. You are an intellectual giant, students loved you. This summer when they moved your name from the class your were going to teach 35 students walked out because you were not teaching the class.
He's a good lecturer. Review of test material you just have to memorize the test.
A very caring ,and amazing lecturer.
