Fun and energetic;kept me interested in psychology
He's very nice; I got 100% on my final exam, kept me interested in psychology
he was a good help and nice at all times
Totally nice and made psyc very interesting.
He's an awesome techer. He made stats seem easy. Really easy marker!
not as much "easy" as makes lessons memorable and "easy" to remember!
The best teacher! Wish I could take him to other schools with me!
he is the best instructor that i have ever had- interesting and thought provokin
best teacher i have ever had makes psych really interesting. 10 chili peppers!!!
passionate,interesting but there's easier teachers!

HOT and funny, a lot better than the average teacher

Made the course interesting and understandable. Had to do readings to get the A, but was worth it. Very fair marking....broken down fairly.

HIS CLASS IS INTERESTING, SO IT'S NOT LIKELY TO FALL ASLEEP. AS FOR THE EXAMS, AS LONG AS YOU READ OVER THE CHAPTERS AND MEMORIZE SOME VOCABS, YOU'LL GUARANTEE A B+ AT LEAST
FUN CLASSES!, LEARN A LOT!, VERY INTERESTING AND SMART!,
interesting , fun and funny , every lecture was an experience ..hot hot hot...he's absolutly awsome..
there is no other teacher who is as readily available to help out their students. Dr. D is a young motivational teacher and i would suggest him to anyone
No Comments
Amazing teacher, really interesting and easy on the eyes. The subject itself, if learned only from text, would be difficult, but he explains things really well, making it all clear in the end. You pick the format of your exams so you know what to expect.
No Comments
he makes the lectures very interesting, you actually would want to go to class and not fall asleep, and his tests are a breeze, you don't even have to study much.
yea...his class is pretty exciting...he tell us many interesting stuff to keep us awake...very good teacher!
Very HOT HOT HOT!! awesome teacher..knows his stuff...easy marker,easy tests, clear lectures and a real nice guy and really HOT!!
Dr. Dastur can give excellent info; he is passionate about Psychology. If you take his class, ensure you attend, and show interest.
He's very nice, very personable, interesting to listen to. He teaches well and makes it really fun to be in class.
easy on the eyes, great teacher, take his class!
nice, but unorganized. alsways late (very late) even on test days. Doesn't give the class notes until after the lecture most of the time. Hot, smart...but scatterbrained!!!
Very motivated and passionate instructor. However, he is somewhat unorganized. As long as you understand the material you will do well in his class. He is willing to help and is very knowledgable.
he is a nice guy, but i found it really insulting when he made fun of people (like me) who have never romantically kissed a girl...maybe he should be more sensitive and realize that not everyone has someone special to love them!
really cool teacher... keeps students motivated by using "subliminal" messages on tests telling them they will do well...very helpful and makes class fun
No Comments
He's young and very motivated. Enjoyable class I learned lots.
Very good lectures! Very interesting. Makes learning fun. Always there to help! Wish more teachers were like him.
very HOTTT!!Great teacher, gives out lecture notes,notes are really interesting, tests are easy if you study his lecture notes and read the chapters...and hes a really nice teacher..more teachers should be like him!
Yea he's cute but damn gurls you got him all cocky now,he knows gurls are diggin him so stop druelin...other then that his lectures and what he says are always very interesting and entertaining,keeps u awake unlike some others u dont wanna show up
Awesome. Easy-enough tests (just read the text), makes handouts for students (notes), fun lectures, no midterm OR finals, just one (fairly short) paper, and easy on the eyes! =p
he has an interesting class but his tests are extremely difficult. He is nice, but he is also arrogant because he knows most of the girls in his class think he is hot..sometimes makes rude comments too!
awesome teacher, awesome teacher, awesome teacher. He is really really hard but he is a great guy and i highly recommend him. I don't know anyone who has anything against him. He is a really cool guy!
he is hard, but a really really nice guy. He is also very smart and makes class interesting and worth coming to. Enjoy his class, but study hard!!!!
this guy is the ultimate professor. Take him, take him! He is not easy, but his class is fun and enjoyable! He even gives candy to his students!
Interesting lectures and tests that actually correspond to the text and lectures. Great teacher
Dr. Dastur is awesome. You will love his class!
This was an elective for me, and it helped raise my GPA. He made the class fun, even though it was early in the morning, and the exams were all based on in class and text info. Pretty hunky too!
dr.d is an AWESOME teacher and person.. always willing to help out and he's really fun to talk to.. knows how to relate to students.. he's freakin brilliant too.. sorry chicks but i don't think he's hot.. but he's "hot" for a teacher i suppose..
Best Teacher if you cant get an A with this guy you wont get an A in any class
I didn't pay attention in class and studied from the text book and I did well in his class. He's not a very nice person though, he's bit of ****
he's ok I think. But the STATS course is not hard compared to other courses I have taken. he always like to give out bonus marks too
Awesome prof! Every teacher at Kwantlen should be like him! His lecture notes are clear and easy to understand. His exams are fair but you have to study. He is also always there to help! Very nice, friendly, funny and very good looking! I will miss him!:(
He is the nicest and most funny teacher i have had at Kwantlen. He is clear and he knows what he is talking about. I will for sure take more courses with him.
the book did all the teaching. easy A+. i understand why ppl like him, but in all honesty, i pay for a teacher, not for someone to read me the book.
What a waste of time. He just reads the textbook. If you're going to do that, don't include a mark for attendance, I have better things to do with my time. Easy A+.
Hes a very good teacher, his classes are fun, not at all boring. He is a easy going teacher. His tests are very easy, obviously if you study. Hes a hot prof as well!!!!
One of the best profs to make Cognitive Ergonomics interesting!
quite direct with information and gets his ways across...I'm takin' him 4 next year hopefully...well spoken
who the hell said this guys easy!!! Perception is a hard ass class...I have a 3.6 GPA and got a C+ in his class!!! Ladies...he is NOT HOT!!!
Kinda arrogant, always throwing his education around, but overall a good teacher. Kinda has high expectations for a first year class and not too motivational when it comes to writing papers, he told us about all the things he was sure we would screw up on.If you study, you'll do okay.
He's a great professor and easy to get along with. His tests are somewhat hard, but if you study, you should get at least an A. Overall, I'd give him a 4.5/5.. ..I totally can't wait to take more classes with him!! :)
Very hard teacher with exams but makes up for it with the paper and the attendance mark. He is very interesting, just hard, but offers help if you need it.
This teacher is one hell of a teacher...all you people that don't like him...lick my nutz...he's the**** GO DR. D!
detail oriented exams, nature of course is difficult (unexpected for many), lectures are fun, but often derailed by questions, dropped the ball this semester on timely grading (time management: F)
awesome prof....explains all the important stuff in detail....makes hilarious (though potentially rude) comments....good role model for someone interested in being a psychologist....very energetic & passionate
Hahaha all i got to say is that the comment before mine is true, I'll second that. But no matter what it is a fun class and if you try hard you'll do really well.
awesome teacher! VERYYYY good looking! Easy tests, stuff is right from textbook. Good class to take to boost ur GPA. Definetly take him for psyc
Awesome guy. Good looking too. But sometimes he get off topic. His class is very entertaining and tests are all based on the text book. I would take him again for sure !!
hot, hillarious and easy-going, his exams are not that hard.. kinda easy to predict wat will be on next exams after taken the first one. always there to help(via emails only coz he seems super busy..) awesome prof! u won't skip any of his classes once u've got into his first class =p
hot, super nice, easy-going, funny (although the rise he gets out of openly poking fun at students is slightly discerning...)...passionate about teaching, smart, knows what the $@%& he's tlaking about...
DAMNNN 3, 6, 9 IS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT DR.D..HOT STUFF..AND A GREAT PROF..TAKE HIMMM..ENDED UP WITH A B- DAMMNNNNNNN:)
Dastur is a fairly good teacher although he can be fairly rude. His class was interesting but "off topic" most of the time. Tests are very challenging but u can make up for lost marks on the presentation and paper. He's a cool Prof, but needs to lessen on the attitude. but overall is very helpfu
great prof, funny, smart. Tests difficult, although based mostly on text, so you have to spend time reading/studying. Made we want to take psych again
all and all take this course
Straight up the best thing about this class are his looks. He's really helpful and will go out of his way to help you, but his tests are hard even though he supplies you with bonus marks. WUDDUP DR. D!
not only is this guy hot he's the best teach i've had a k.u.c. take him..if you're not a slacker..but come on this is college...learn to do !@#$
If you want to learn and have fun doing it than take his class! Most fun I've ever had in a classroom...helps that he's easy on the eyes too! Major hottie! He's tough though. Don't expect to coast here. Anyone who has anything bad to say about him probably just has a problem with actually doing work. News for you: College is hard work!!
He ROCKS man! easy course, sexy prof! GO TAKE IT!
sooooooooooooo hot luv him
Great teacher, makes classes interesting and very excited about teaching. His tests are pretty hard, covers alot of material so u really gotta study if u wanna do well.. and yes, i agree with all below.. definatley one of the hottest profs ive ever had.. looks pretty young but he has a PHD!
True, True, Dr. D is a major hottie. But his time management sucks. Will barely cover 3 slides in 2 hours. He did make class interesting but his tests are real hard-and yes, I studied! Overall, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth from his teaching skills, it would have been better if he just took his clothes off! Smart guy, knows his stuff.
Ok... Well, I'm a heterosexual male but I guess I can agree with everyone else that Prof. Dastur is... not ugly. Anyway, I took the first class he ever taught. He's a nice guy and his 1100 class is very easy. Just study the textbook carefully and do a decent job on essays and you will end up with an A. I'm an Idiot and I got an A.
An unforgettable learning experience. He's a remarkable man - a brilliant mind, a poetic soul, and an exterior to match. If only I wasn't married... Oh, yeah, bring him chocolate and he'll be very happy (but not with chilis).
This guy is massively overrated. His tests are brutal. He's completely unorganized. He doesn't have his notes posted on time, doesn't have his exams ready on time, doesn't have the course outline ready, and he's really cocky and arrogant. There are a myriad of pathetic and stupid girls who bring chocolates to class and he eats it up.
Completely agree with the poster above me. So he's mildly hot, who cares? Other than that, he's unclear, disorganized and has killer exams. I would not recommend him or take him again.
WTF is his problem? He can never post notes on time, never show up to class on time, never get through the lecture either. Don't like him. His exams are killer also.
Yeah, so his exams are tough--but this is university. I personally think he's a decent prof who knows what he's talkin about. Don't listen to all these harsh posts just cuz a few dumbasses didn't study.
such a picky person, hard teacher. throws his education around, too vanity. he thinnks he's doing the right thing and doing favors, but heck NO! it doesn't help. too arrogant and ignorant. he thinks he's a ll that~
he is a decent, knowledgable, and understanding professor. always there for you even if you have a thousand questions. my dear friends, pay attention in his class, and bother to study, you'll never find a professor better than him. his way of teaching is wonderful and his exams are challenging but fair and clear. I missed him.
No Comments
He is kind of hard, but you will do good if you pay attention and study hard. He does seem a bit too cocky though, but whatever, i guess he has earned it.
Very illuminating, enjoyable and educational course !! Having Dr. D teach this is the obvious choice and the best one.
Dr. D. is a a nice person who is pleasant to the eyes. However, I do find alot of flaws with his teaching methods and time management skills. He can spend all 3 hours of the 3 hour class taking about abstract ideas which you either (a) attempt to follow or (b) accept the fact you cannot never grasp the abstract idea Dr. D. wants you to understand.
tests are challenging but not overly difficult. If you read the text and understand the concepts an A is not out of reach. Sometimes he goes off topic and doesnt go over the slides, but they are posted and he always generates intersting and thought provoking discussions. Dr.D really cares about his students and class. Overall great teacher!
This class was no cake-walk but it was still fun and I learned a lot. Really awesome prof. He really cares about what he teaches and about the students and it shows. Highly recommended. He's a little slow on marking stuff but he goes the extra mile for his students.
I took his class ages ago and still remember so much of it - it was awesome. I loved it and worked my butt off. Great prof, really cares about the material and the students.
Wonderful professor! The class is extremely interactive, and his lectures are always interesting and never boring. I found it easy, but that could be because I already had prior knowledge of psychology.The tests are not difficult and very fair. Plus, there isn't a ton of work to be done.
Gets paid for no reason. He cancelled 2 classes to hike then has study sessions as classes just for students. Does not properly teach makes you learn on your own. Completely full of himself and barely gives assignments for marks so your left with test marks which are like 30%. Not a good teacher what so ever people just go for his personality.
His class was fun, he kept you interested the whole time and was very quite funny and not to mention nice on the eyes. His exams weren't very hard at all and for the paper he was a pretty easy marker. I would recommend him and take his class again,
I loved Farhad's class! He kept students interested and was very interactive. I found his exams fairly easy. His class has 2 exams, 1 research paper and 1 group project. I found that he was a very easy marker.
Very good professor. He keeps his class very interesting and his energy level should be the envy of other instructors. I'll be completely honest, attending his lectures will not provide much aid for exams - however I attended simply because they were very interesting and engaging lectures.
AWSOME PROFF!! Clear in what he wants. Engages with his students. Intelligent and extremely knowledgeable in his subject field. Fair. Honest about the limitations about evolutionary psychology. Allows for class discussion. Stimulates students to think critically by providing exceptional examples and activites. Funny, has a sense of humor. A+ Take
Is an amazing prof. His classes were very interactive and his passion for the subject makes you also feel the passion. I would definitely recommend his class. The exams were fairly easy.
Great teacher, very clear in what is expected. 2 tests, 1 paper, and an oral presentation. Classes are worth going to, he makes every lecture interesting and interactive. Sometimes he brings cookies No textbook he gave the class a vote between posted online readings or buying a $200 text, no brainer. Challenging tests, but ok if you attend classes
Not very clear in what he wants. Exams are fair, challenging. 2 exams, 1 oral presentation along with a paper. Not clear in guidelines, but gives you freedom to choose what you want to do. Makes class interesting though
Best prof I have ever had. SO easy to listen to. Great material, loves what he does. BEST EVER. even invited us all on a hike at the end of the semester!
Best teacher ever! Class was never boring and he talked to us like we were his equals, which i personally liked. Tests were super simple, based off of notes and textbook. One research paper, 2 exams, and 1 group project. such an easy class! i loved it.
He gives you 3 exams & 1 group project (super easy marker. I would say honestly all of his tests were challenging & make sure you watch his videos because he puts questions in the multiple choice. Use his notes as a guide but study the textbook- its quite heavy on the biology content. He gives out a lot of bonus! Also his final isn't cumulative!!
the best prof i ever had.
makes u want to go to class and its actually fun and entertaining and you don't zone out after a few mins. seriously amazing. only problem i would say is although he teaches well, hes so laid back and funny i thought none of the info was actually relevant to anything and we were just talking bout random stuff. still the best prof at kwantlen.
He is someone who actually engages in conversations with the students, and makes the everyday lifestyle of us all get incorporated with the lectures for a better understanding. I highly recommend him; he's amazing!
Overall he is a very outgoing, funny and kind prof. I personally feel that his lectures have no relevance to anything we learn. Plus he doesn't even tell you what is going to be on the exam. Be prepared to know your textbook inside out because anything and everything can be on it. Also his psych class is more like a biology class. Good luck :)
Overall great experience. Would take again. Extremely understanding towards projects. Friendly and helpful. Sometimes doesn't make good use of class time and gets off topic during lectures but is able to make lectures fun and exciting. Recommend!! :)
He is an awesome prof, but you gotta work to get a good grade.
I took perception with him before. It was so hard since I was required to do the readings and his lectures to get a good grade. This class is only about projects and his lectures.
Awesome prof! You can tell he actually cares and knows what he is talking about. He used a free online textbook and his tests were all based off his notes and the textbook. There is a bit of reading but super straight forward. Overall got an a+ and barely had to try
Really amazing teacher. If you pay attention in class you should be fine on the tests. He provides a free textbook and his lectures are always interesting. Highly recommend.
Easy class, free textbook via online website he provides. Great professor with interesting lectures. Isn't on top of handing back marks from tests however.
I'm taking Special Topics with Farhad, it's a new course he's teaching so he's working out the kinks which comes across as him seeming disorganized. There are 3 big projects due and one final, everything is due in the last two weeks of the semester not giving you the opportunity to withdraw if required. He's really caring. Gives last min assignment
The best prof I have had so far. His lectures are engaging, and you will walk out of the class with a different outlook. The tests are beyond fair, as long as you listen to his lectures, and read the textbook I can guarantee you will get the grade you want. This is a prof who inspires students, I would recommend anyone to take a class from Dr. D.
Hands down The best teacher at kpu .
He gives great lectures that are easy to follow. He set up study groups to help succeed at tests, which goes above his call of duty. He is very approachable and informative. I hope to be able to take other classes of his in the future!
Farhad cares about his students. He's not there to make you fail or be overly difficult. He motivates you to do well and reach your full potential. His lectures are engaging and you need to attend them. His exams are clear and he's a fair marker. He's very tech savvy and on trend. No need for textbook as he provides all that material.
Dr. D is chill and funny but a little disorganized (giving major feedback right before an assignment is due, syllabus delayed). There's a lot of material on the exam that's not covered in class and sometimes parts of lecture are not relevant and feels like a poor use of time but you can negotiate your grades but he's good in the rest of the areas.
One of the best profs Ive had so far! Lectures are so engaging, he does his best to make them interesting and entertaining and tests are really fair. No essay however he did make us do a video project at the end but gives you all the materials necessary in order to complete it.
best prof
Dr. D is the best prof. His lectures are interesting, and he always tries to make it relatable for the students. He host's study sessions to ask him anything about the exam. He is a very caring prof, he gives you ways to help calm your anxiety before exams. He also makes his exams super easy. I would take his class all the time if I could.
super easy course if you do your readings and he is such a good lecturer. definetely take the class with him if u can!! i still remember material he taught and its been over a semester, and course content is very interesting
Dr. D's class is super knowledgable. He is super good at lecturing; I wish that class was not online so I could enjoy his class in person. He is super lenient with grading and his exams online are easy if you attend the lectures and read the textbook he provides. He also gave us a video project to work on which was a lot of fun.
Dr. D is an amazing prof. He is extremely caring and understanding. His course consists of 4 (easy if you watch the lectures) exams, a storyboard, video project and a journal.
best professor ever. enough said.
Class consists of 4 tests (20%, 20%, 20%, 10%), video project worth 22% and other little things. Overall, he's kind and friendly but lectures are 3 hours of rambling, never getting into specific theory and he takes FOREVER to grade EVERYTHING... Literally almost 4 weeks after the video assignment was submitted it is still yet to be graded.
The prof was super super nice. Very understanding and caring. Passionate in his lectures and keeps the class awake through his stories. My class was online due to COVID. 1 major assignment and the rest are tests. Simple and straight forward content. Gives you his lecture notes and his tests are basically exactly was is written on them.
Very knowledgeable prof. The course load was not heavy at all (compared to other 3000 level psyc classes). Exams are very laid back - 24 hours to complete plus open book and online! But be warned, he does take forever to grade stuff. NO research paper but he did assign a video project (fun if you like acting or editing videos)
He is perfect! Not only does he crack jokes, is super fun but also very knowledgeable about his field. He will make you love the subject.
This is really a good professor. The way in which professor teach is really easy to understand. During my course, there were just three exams online which were open book exams. The professor tries to make the course easy for the students.
Great professor, will take his courses in the future.
Dr. Farhad is not very good to work with. He didn't reply to my emails. He takes forever to mark the tests. The long answer sections are nonsense because there's only 3 hour limit and it takes at least 1 hour to do the long answers, plus 80-90 multiple choice. The last exam had 2 video portions which were not necessary and a waste of time.
If you just want an easy A, he's a good choice, but don't really expect to learn anything. Just finish the assignment assigned online. He doesn't give feedback on written assignments.
literally THE BEST proffessor ever. Had in person classes with online exams. Was always so understanding towards students and made the whole course so entertaining. Also marks fairly easy.
Farhad was a very good professor, I enjoyed his intro to psych class because it was very engaging and he did the most to avoid reading directly off the slides. The grading for the course was easy with marks based on Achieve assignments and exams which were both open book. However make sure to attend the class because some exam questions require it
Dastur Farhad is probably my fav teacher so far. He is kind and understanding of issues outside of school. His class is easy if you try. I was going to take another class with him but he is popular and all seats were gone. Def take him if you can. His lectures are engaging and actually fun to listen too. tests and assignments are all online
Professor Farhad has a straightforward teaching method. The exams are open-book, which makes the course more manageable. Using unstuckstudy and the free textbook helped me ace this class with an A+.
I took 1210 at Langara This professor was THE BEST PROFESSOR I've ever had. He's just amazing great lecture, very fun and interactive, great way of teaching GREAT grading , he's is just AMAZING would 100% take any other course with him SO UNDERSTANDING
I took Cognitive ergonomics with this professor. He did not have a syllabus ready until the 3rd class. Every week, he changed when things were due. He never had a clear set of guidelines for any assignments or a rubric to refer to. He removed marks from assignments, but couldn't refer to his "outline" on why those marks were removed.
I didn't know much about this course but Dr. D made it so relevant and interesting. We had to do a creative project applying design ideas and a usability study of a website. There was an online final exam. Dr. D very much cares about his students and i loved all the interactive stuff we did.
this class is 100% online. you read the textbook yourself and do the mind tap activities and then also do the exams. the exams are on 3 chapters. there are 3 exams. honestly pretty easy course. but just lots of reading and note taking for the online exams. you have 2 hrs to write the exams wheneever time u want. they close at 10pm.
This was an easy class. But we did most of the things on our own. Professor just gave notes for all chapters but gave no video or audio explanation for them except for 2 chapters. Avoid if you can't study on your own!!
I learned more than I expected during this course. To be honest, Dr. D is one of the best instructors I have had during my time here as an international student. He really cares about the student progress and don't make things harder than it should be. Just do your work/assignments and don't be lazy. Simple. I had a really amazing experience.
