Worst teacher ever. He gives us assignments to study and when everyone fully understands the chapter, the test questions he writes himself are 100x harder than what we expect. the First month he said those who get a 50% or lower on the first test will fail my class 100% guaranteed and half the class failed the first test. So no hope in that class.

DO NOT TAKE. VERY HARD AND CANNOT UNDERSTAND HIS TEACHING. I LIKE MATH AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD AT IT, BUT THIS GUY IS JUST RIDICULOUS

ridiculously hard. I have never gotten below a B in any math class. He is so unclear when any one asks a question. His problem is that he is very smart but doesn't know how to explain things. I can teach myself the material from the book and understand it then the tests are nothing like it. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS. it is my biggest mistake.

I use to love math, then i took this class and for the first time i failed. Save yourself the trouble and dont take this professor. I wished i would have taken 5 mins to read these comments. His test are impossible to pass and he doesnt explain the material properly.

no comment on him

You get good grades? Then don't take classes with him. It was hard to learn anything with his type of teaching. The majority of the class failed. Although homework was assigned, it was rarely checked for correction. I will be retaking this class with another teacher.

i regret so much taking his class... don't regret later, take another teacher

my first F in my life from this class

so so hard. Hardest teacher in smc

i read about him prior to taking his calculus class...let me tell you one word HARDDDDDDDddd! he makes his test ridiculously challenging....he tells you if you need help everythings in the book-__- liez! If your a math major..go for it...if you actually want to get taught take someone else!

my second time taking calculus and im bearly getting by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1/4 of the class let and i guarantee you most likely failing! super hard and not helpful at all! i used to love math before i had him....

Did I fail?.. Yes.. Yes I did.

NEVER take his class. His tests are never for the students who take calc for the first time. If you are familiar enough with calc and you are an expert on it,then you can take him.

Biggest mistake! I'm studying Calc 10 hrs a day and I'm learning, but his tests are designed to TRICK you with material you just "should have known" that we never covered! I understand almost everything but I'm just HOPING for a C-. His tests don't match the homework and his lectures are gibberish. If you want to pass a math class, don't take him!

I don't understand how he can be a teacher. He is horrible! His examples don't cover enough and expects us to know everything. The homework does not help, and this book is just as bad as he is at explaining the material. I'm studying like never before and i am still failing. Never take this teacher. You've been warned

He is REALLY hard! I've never had trouble with math until I took this class

This class is harder than rocket science math!

Almost everyone Failed his class. No A's. Im not sure if there were any B's. But most were C's, D's and Mostly F's. I would not recommend this professor unles you are an expert in Math. I am pretty good with math and never have I gotten a grade lower than a B, but after taking his class, I got my first D. Ridiculously hard. Avoid!

He is EXTREMELY hard. Harder than Advanced Calculus. Or even harder. It's almost impossible to Pass his class. I usually don't comment on this website, but I just had to. His class was the worst experience I've ever had. I can't stress this enough. DO. NOT. TAKE. HIS. CLASS.

It was nearly impossible to comprehend anything he was teaching. Even with the help of the math lab, I still could not manage to get above a C. His exams are hard, final is harder. The only way to get a good grade is to know exactly what to study for (which there is no way to find out). Take this class with a different professor.

Very unclear. Really hard and has a horrible connection to students.

So bad, just completely awful. Tons of hw that does not prepare for his exam, reads lecture from the power point, dumb projects. Do not take.

he is not considerate and fair on how he quiz and test students, for summer, which is fast, he quiz daily, only allows 2/3 of the class time for test, other teachers give complete class time for testing, and for quiz other teachers also do it once a week, not daily. He takes too many points off from errors on the tests. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

I felt pretty intimidated taking Jahangard's class because he makes students go up on the board to solve a math problem. He looks for competence among his students when assigning quizzes and tests. Get as much tutoring as you can to pass his class and do all the homework and study very hard before coming into class.

Lectures extremely fast (had to rewrite my notes after every session), very confusing, quiz every class, A LOT of hw, also thought he was quite intimidating. Hardest class I have ever taken and would recommend to stay away at all costs. I am a science major (and have a very high GPA) yet I received my first F ever. Do not take.

He is the worst math teacher I have ever had! His lectures are strictly definitions and are not helpful at all! I had to learn all the material on my own.

I consider myself a great math student . . . . just not in his class

Toughest professor I have ever taken in both community college and university. He will test you on the most obscure concept and arithmetic that he very briefly mentions in his lectures. There is no way for you to write everything he says down because he lectures too fast and then he expects you to know everything. Exams are 4-5 questions good luck.

I took the condensed winter session of statistics in addition to taking another class and working, let me tell you it was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I averaged 3 hours of homework for this class daily. So much work! I didn't have a life. Professor isn't very helpful. Expects you to do most of the learning and work on your own.

He is not approachable, moves too fast, never breaks out of a serious face. I'm pretty sure no one in my class passed. This should be your last option. Beware!!

I liked this teacher I did learn a lot from him. Where it went wrong for me is the way he test is he really tries to test you to see if you understand the actual theory so the exams kinda feel like a ambush, prob. never seen at all in class. The best example I can give is he basically said study everything 4 final and some stuff was not even on it

Dont take him!!!!!! Hes extremely tough grader, doesnt give partial point. Lots of homework and quizzes almost every class.

Lectures and homework don't align with the tests. His lectures and homework only build you up to fail his tests. I got a B in Calc1, did all my homework, scored great on his pop quizzes, and studied pretty much as hard as I could and still failed his exams. As a intro to calculus course, making his class this hard is unreasonable.

Never had a problem with math in my entire life, until I reached Jahangard's calculus 2 class. Very poor lecture, doesn't give you tools to learn yourself. In addition, he is a very tough (and in my opinion, unfair) grader. The only positive characteristic is that he is knowledgeable. Please avoid at all costs.

I took Jahangard 4 years ago for Calc 2. I still remember the nightmares/anxiety from his class. Had a 4.0 until his class. Studied 9 hours/day neglecting all other classes. Proofs, tutoring etc. Still got a D. Took Calc 2 again never studied, got an A easy. I transferred to USC for Business, graduated cum laude. Unless math is your life don't take

Probably the worst professor I have ever had. Graded exclusively on quizzes and tests, on which there is no partial credit. 1 question wrong on a test can drop you 1 letter grade, and 1 q off on a quiz can get you a 4/10. Test content is unlike homework or other content from class. Do not take this professor

he sucks

his ability to teach was horrible, barely anybody passed this class

Took this class for calc 2. If you chose to take this class, then congratulations, you walked into pop quizes, no partial credit, strict grading (marked wrong for not putting one symbol), exam questions that are not even close to hw problems, terrible lectures, etc. Oh and he also says something like "I'll give you 0's if you keep complaining"

Professor Jahangard is insanely strict. You can get the right answer but no points if you don't do the problem in the exact way he wants you to. I had to drop this class halfway through the semester because I simply could not stand him anymore. Hard avoid.

boring lectures. lots of homework. tests that are nothing like the homework. AVOID THIS MAN.

Please avoid this professor. I should've trusted the feedbacks from other students. There's s a reason students come back to leave negative feedbacks after years. He just gave me trauma and nightmares. He uses the most irrational ways of submitting homework/tests when there are much easier ways/outlets that can be used for Math.DON'T DON'T TAKE HIM

Freshman for college and did not check RMP. Would dance around questions and not give the answer that you're looking for. The lectures are slightly helpful but still require you to use Pearson videos, which are extremely outdated, forcing you to use other online resources for help.

Do NOT take this class. The teacher is ineffective and the exams are not relevant to the course material. As a former straight-A student, I had a bad experience. He doesn't understand students at all.

He's honestly the worst math teacher I've ever had. I've always done well in math and even started this semester strong, but he never uses Canvas or email and refuses to adapt. He's old-fashioned, treats class like a university lecture (it's a community college), and expects us to learn everything on our own. He really needs to chill.
