Do not take Rezvani. I had him for summer session & he lectured through chapters too fast. His exams are multiple choice & MADE BY THE AUTHOR OF THE TEXTBOOK. This means that if you do not know the definitions & problems precisely you will do bad on the exams. No review on exams, he asks everyone if they have questions on the chapters and thats it.

Most of your grade depends on the 3 exams and homework. There are weekly homework assignments online which are very easy. You need to really study if you want to do well on the tests. His lectures are interesting because he always uses real-life examples so that you can relate to the concepts. Paying attention in class will really pay off.

One midterm 25%, 5 homework assignments 25%, final exam 50% of your grade. Multiple choice exams taken online with lock down software in class (not at home). He is an amazing professor due to the fact he is able to give you real life examples and dumbs things down for comprehension. Study slides & hw, the book is irrelevant; online HW MYECONLAB web

Horrible teacher, he does not care about his students. Went to him for help after failing my first test & he aughed at my face when I asked for helped. Homework is easy but the test can be difficult, he does a quick "review" but that doesn't help. He has a thick accent so it is hard to understand him. Basically, have to teacher yourself.

Honestly, He's not that bad. Economics is just a hard subject in general, but he gave real life examples which helped on the exam. Use his notes to study. Its only 3 Exams total and HW every week but its easy. He curves in the end of the course, which is why you shouldn't bother asking for extra credit. Just Study the definitions he gives.

Dr. Rezvani is one of those professors you need to stick it out for a few weeks before he warms up to you. He truly is a caring professor and sticks to himself in regards to his research, but he does pour his whole time to understand the subject himself before teaching. He has really open office hours and gives examples of his own academic life

I think whomever gives this guy a good rating is being paid to do so this man is garbage as a teacher he doesn't care whether you pass or fail and anyone who says other wise is full of sh#t. this guy cant teach for his life. no structure no caring, its a paycheck to him and if he has to fail you to keep getting paid then thats what hes going to do.

Attendance is non mandatory but I would advise going. If you don't go you will be confused. He posts powerpoints in case you miss which also help when you study. He knows his subject but doesn't engage with students. He just simply teaches. There are three tests and nothing else. Pay attention and try your best you will be fine.

Rezvani is clear and straight to the point. Listen in class, take notes, do the homework, do the exams, and that's it. He lectures 99% of the time, so it's hard to ask questions, but he is approachable after class. He simplifies everything to help us understand, especially for people who aren't economics majors. All in all, he's decent.

Dr. Rezvani is **not** the most understanding, accommodating, or helpful Professor. I had an 89.6% at the of the course, so I asked him if he could round it up. He said nope! He was also my SBUS advisor, and he seemed very uninterested in helping me answer any questions. He is not one of those Professors that want to see you win...

Dr. Rezvani is an average professor. His lectures are mostly him talking 99% of time, and he sometimes read the slides and breaks down the material into real world examples. You have to use Pearson for assignments to pay textbook he provides and create an account where hw is. He does 3 tests and you have to download lockdown browser for his tests.

Although attendance is optional, he gives valuable information and clarifies material in class, which helps a lot during tests (three tests in total— the only things you are going to be graded on). If you pay attention during lectures and take notes, tests shouldn't be a big problem.
