I think he is great! really takes time to help you until you get it. no mocking, no impatience, he means business which is great. 3 test&1 final, fair enough,doesn't check hw, but do go over them in class. personality-wise, very nice guy, let you make up the test if you missed it for any reason.

Prof Alizadeh isn't a difficult professor but the only problem I had with him was that he would show up late to class but dock you if you showed up at the same time as he did. He also seemed to cut class short everyday. He assigns homework but doesn't collect it. He said it for your benefit not his. Show up review the study sheets and you'll pass.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Cares a lot and would stay extra time to go over whatever you don't understand. I would recommend him to anyone. Take him, you won't regret it!!!

He is the best math professor. I am not good at math but the way he explained was really understandable. He give you a lot of homework but it is for practice and in the end, it helps you in the final. He gives us a review before the final and makes sure that you know the information. Definitively is one of the best professors that I have had.

This teacher is so good. At first the impression was a bit confusing because he explained differently but if you pay attention you will understand. Do the exercises and it will work. If you have doubts in the exams, ask him and he will help.

Wow what can I say? lets start with the fact that I am really really bad in math, and that I didnt even know the times table when I started his class. Prof Alizadeh LOVES HIS JOB! and makes sure you understand the material. I went from knowing nothing to doing Algebra in my head. All I can say is Prof Alizadeh: if you ever read this, THANK YOU!

Lectures are good however the grading is weird. Only grades tests and quizzes and doesnt grade the homework at all. If your a bad test taker I dont recommend taking this class however he is a good math teacher. Prepare to take a bunch of notes and pay attention during lectures.

This is the best Maths Professor, I did his online class this semester easy A you have to put in the effort and do the work how else you want to pass. He gives you review questions and the quiz, test, and final are based on that. Take him you will learn a lot HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Wish he continues to do online classes.

He is stern but a caring professor and values your understanding of the material. Does not mind prolonging the class to help students. He does not grade homework but that does not mean don't do it, completing the homework helps you prepare for the quizzes and tests.

professor Alizadeh is a fantastic professor. we get homework, but doing it is not compulsory. He explains the steps clearly. If you want to get the best results, you have to keenly listen to his lectures in class, and do the review sheet before the test.

I took Prof. Alizadeh in person during the fall 2021 semester. He is an excellent lecturer and cares about his students. However, I must warn you that he does not post grades on Blackboard, so do not take him if this is a caveat for you. When I took him, he assigned optional homework. Take Prof. Alizadeh if you genuinely want to learn math!

This professor teaches so clearly and makes sure you understand the material. He gives hw (optional to do) and all the hw questions are on the test. All you need to do to pass the class is do the hw and review those questions and answers. He also straight up tells you "Don't forget this question, it'll be on the final". All in all amazing professor

Best math prof ever. I usually fail math so trust me. Had him for the summer sesh, daily quizzes but they're only 10% of ur grade & force you to stay on top of your work. Some test/quiz questions are from hw so make sure u do it. He explains well & doesn't have a problem reexplaining. No emails but makes the most of class time. Supportive.

BEST PROFESSOR EVERRR!! He will make sure that you pay attention in class, and no phones allowed in class. If you don't understand always ask, he will go through it step by step with you and make sure you understand. He also tells us what questions will be on finals so you can study that to get good grade. I would definitely take his class again!!

He is extremely tough with grading, he does not give any partial credit. He speeds through the lesson and is very hard to keep up with his pace. It is pretty hard to understand him throughout most of the class because of his very low voice and his accent. IF YOU ARE A BAD TEST TAKER DO NOT TAKE HIM !!! He does not give partial credit on any exams.

I would recommend Prof. Alizadeh if you are a good test taker. The course grade is made up of 10% quizzes, three exams each 20%, and a final that is worth 30%. I am a poor test taker so I had to study a LOT. The lectures are dense so if you miss a single class, it's lowkey over. Homework is optional but highly recommended to review.

Prof. Alizadeh is great and funny in his own way. He explains the material really well and gives good examples. If you really are struggling with math, you might think he goes too fast on the topic. He gives quizzes once a week, and you'll have a test at the end of each month. They are not too hard if you practice with the homework sheet.

my honest review , Prof seems to know what he's doing and enjoys it. But, his teaching style is not for everyone, he isn't straight forward when he teaches so it causes students end up lost. Quiz Weekly worth 1 point, Test end of month. Will randomly call you to answer questions mostly girls btw. I'm usually good at math but had a difficult time.

Very good professor, explains everything very well and the quizzes/exams are easy if you do the homework, which is optional. Phones are strictly prohibited in his class so that students can focus. Does call on people to pay attention but its just because he cares. If you have him, just know you will not fail!!
