Very clear well spoken professor. He teaches very well and the workload is fair and easy. You have to turn in the homework he assigns and you take several fair exams.

I have him for Math 222 and is one of the best Math teacher I have taken in CSULB. He is very helpful and has lot's of patience....His test are fairly straight forward and assign homework to turn in when you have a exam. He get's an A

Class is very easy. Lab Activity is harder than tests and that is a good thing. Grade is based on 550 points total. No Curves on exams and grades. There is a lot of homework, more than usual. He has an accent but not thick. Very understandable. -eric

Whoever can tolerate an accent, take his class. He gives a fair amount of assignments,has a good way of teaching the material without confusion, can be funny in occasions, and will give partial credit to wrong answers. Overall he is a cool guy.

You gotta love this guy.

This guy is easy. All that you have to do is study your homework and you will get an A on the test.He's a very cool guy.

This guy is cool, I thought math teacher were going to be boring but the class is not bad. he's easy in grading and not hard to pass class. enjoyed him so much gonna take 222 with him

Great teacher, very helpful, just go to the activities and do the homework and you should do well.

This guy is really helpfull and clear. Eventhough I had him in the morning at 8AM, it still wasn't too bad. Just do your homework and pay attention. He has an accent but it's not that bad. Great math teacher.

Very good professor. He really helped me understand the material.

I suck so hard in math. However, if you go to him for help is always willing to go over the material until you know it. He has an accent but it had interferance with his teaching. If you do all the hw and get decents quiz scores you do fine. Also, he drops lowest test score and replaces it with an avg score.

very easy...tests are easy...he is very helpful to those who dont understand...

The class and teaching style is fast paced, but fine. The tests, however, are "gotcha" tests. That is, you can know the homework inside and out and perform poorly on the exam. He takes conceptual leaps on the exam and is very critical on points. Highest grade on the first exam was 89. No A's. Mostly C's and D's.

He is a great teacher...i recommend

Very good teacher. I would recommend for anyone taking 119B. His tests are a little difficult though, and he does check homework for credit so you have to stay on top of it. But overall, gerat guy.

Awesome teacher. always made jokes to keep students interested. Made sure students understood the material at the activity sections.

really nice and understanding. he really tries to help you and breaks things down step by step. he has an accent but he was absolutely comprehendable. do your work and you'll get an easy A

He has an accent. dont worry, its not a big deal. you can still understand what he is talking about. hes really cool and make the class fun and interesting. he cares for the student and if you need any thing, he'll help you out. be there and study, you'll get an A. -NomburOne- =I

He's reallly funny and foriegn

He is funny and very cool. He knows his topic, is lenient, and gives extra credit. He will give you many examples of a topic if you don't understand. He will often push tests forward if he feels his students will need more time. On grading, he is a bit strict. He grades assignments, but as long as you try hard, there should be no problem.

kinda funni3

He was a great teacher! He really cares about his students and wants them to pass his class. I recommend him highly for MAPB 7, he does everything he can to make you pass.

Awsum teacher! really cares about his students and wants them to pass. I took him for two semesters and he never let me down and I passed both times. Always there if you need it and will answer every question you have. Just show up, do the homework and have average test scores. Also drops two lowest quiz scores and gives 20 points for attendance.

he was awsome

He is a wonderful lecturer that helps the student to understand the important concepts that are need to master Intermediate Algebra. Also, he tries to be funny but it just makes him look a bit silly. He carries an accent with him so try to keep an open ear to understand his English.

He is a good professor. I had read some bad thing about him but it's not true. Just do the homework, take notes, and you should be fine. He gives 4 tests plus a final but he gives tests reviews for them.

I sacrificed having a Friday class in order to have him as a teacher again. He is very helpful and explains everything in the book. He is very positive, friendly, and helpful! I took him for Calc I and II and I would highly recommend him!

This teacher is pretty cool. The class overall is easy as long as you do all the hw and study for the tests and quizzes. He likes to make jokes, although sometimes they dont make sense. He is very helpful and is always trying to help his students. If you are having trouble with math, take him. He made math more interesting

He's really nice. His accent is is a little strong but you can still understand him. I had trouble only because i was lazy but its fairly easy i still passed. Class is mandatory otherwise he takes off points towards the end for every two days you are gone. just do the work and you'll pass

I had him for my business calculus activity he was really nice and helpful.

He may be good for lower Math classes but once you get to 113 or anything higher, his teaching style changes. He expects way more out of you and his tests become hard, if you're going to need Math for your major or career then take him because he makes sure you know your stuff. If this will be the last time you use Math then find someone else easy.

Faridpak is pretty straight forward. In his class, there will be a lot of notes so attendance is important if you want to pass. The homeworks and quizzes were a piece of cake. He always asks if you have any questions, perfect time for math questions you found difficult. He is an awesome man I would not mind taking him again for future math classes.

He is very clear in his instruction during class, as long as you pay attention. He is always available to answer any question during his office hours, which helped me a lot. Keep in mind, the quizes and tests he assigns are straight from the homework, so be sure to cover every question when homework is assigned to you!

He doesn't exactly have the best teaching skills. You really have to listen and pay attention in class, however he does a pretty decent job. He does have an accent, but you can still understand him.

Funny and a great teacher. He does have an accent, but it's not like you can't understand him. When asked a question, he tries to clarify it as well as he can. Copy everything he write on the board! It's very helpful when it comes time for quizzes and exams!

Best math professor. Very clear. Helpful. Do hw and activities. Attendance is critical. He also teaches part time at LAHC.

Quiz every week unless there's an exam. 3 lowest quizzes dropped. If your final is higher than your lowest exam, the lowest exam will get the final's grade. hw is due on exam day. good professor, very thorough in his lectures.

His class could be an easy A. Listen to his lecture, do homework and test reviews. Tests will be pretty easy if you can handle not taking notes and he replaces lowest test grade with your final test grade (assuming you did better). Kinda boring but funny at times :)

Faridpak is the best math teacher I have had in college by far. He has a slight accent, which just makes class more enjoyable with some of his silly pronunciations. He clarifies the material well, and is extremely kind and helpful. He truly cares about his students. I would Highly recommend taking him.

LOVED HIM! I had covered a lot of the topics in my AP calc class prior to taking this, so it was super easy for me, but I think for others it is definitely doable. Do the homework before the quizzes and you should be fine (he doesn't collect homework until the tests though so it's easy to not do it until later) He's caring, passionate, & hilarious.

He is just awesome. He is always willing to answer questions $ available in his office hours. He drops lowest quizzes $ replaces lowest exam by the final exam. For math 111, he gives revision questions before exams.He has an accent but not hard to understand him.He gives lots of examples $ goes over everything.If you try you will get A. I loved him

Professor Faridpak is an amazing professor, well at least I thought. He tends to lecture really fast but I learn better at fast pace. If you suck at math, don't take him his tests will kill you. If you've already taken Pre-cal or Calculus in high school take him it'll be a piece of cake. He's a really cool guy and class isnt mandatory!

Professor Faridpak is a professor you definitely want for this class. He makes the topics look easy and the homework doesn't take a lot of time away. Drops lowest grade out of the three tests with the final exam grade. Overall, someone you definitely should take.

Its one of those classes thats easy to get a B but its a lot of work to get an A. He teaches more conceptually while the problems on the test are a higher difficulty. Just study, concepts and work your way up to more difficult problems, go to office hours, ohh and the biggest mistake I made which is why I'm getting a B, dont underestimate trig

Farid is a really chill guy but his expectations are quite high. He goes over quite a lot of content in just ONE lecture. I highly recommend to NOT skip his lectures. He also takes attendance from time to time by assigning a problem based on the concepts of the lecture he just taught (and yes, these do affect your grade).

Faridpak is a great professor. The course material is very difficult, and he teaches it in a way that is easy to understand. His lectures are enjoyable, despite going a little faster pace. I definately recommend taking his class.

Needs hardwork to get an A coz math 111 is hard. His exams are hard but you can get A's. For me, I got A's in all of his 3 exams and the final. Goona take Calculus II with him :)

Good teacher. Goes a bit fast but answers questions. Handsome

I am currently taking his class and he is an excellent professor. I'm a student that usually gets good grades anyways, but not exactly the most studious either. For me, he makes calculus fairly easy. He's easy to approach and the lectures are very clear. Take him!

Faridpak is a helluva guy. The course material was a challenge, but he'll do anything within his power to help you understand. He teaches at a pace where it is possible for a review sesh before every exam. During activity/class he will answer any problems from the homework you ask. His office hours are sparse, but overall, Faridpak is a good choice

Tests are actually quite easy compared to other teachers, but with that being said, they're not curved whatsoever. He's incredibly knit picky when it comes to grading the exams, so recheck your answers multiple times. His office hours are too early to compensate for help and most of the time he's not even there. Lectures are quite solid though.

Faridpak is extremely helpful in his lectures. He tends to rephrase a lot of what he is saying to make it simpler to understand. His tests are EASY as long as you do the assigned homework. I have managed to skip a couple of classes here and there and get a decent grade, but that's because I did the homework. When I ask questions, he answers clearly

He is one of the best Math professor, teaches very well and wants everyone to learn, therefore his exams are not easy. They are some what challenging, you can get an A only if you start string from the begining

He's a really good professor, but Calc II isn't an easy class. So if you want to do well you need to put in some effort. His tests aren't too bad but the final is killer. The way he curves is he takes the average of your two highest exams and replaces your lowest (there are 3 exams not including the final and this doesn't apply to the final).

Professor Farid is a great professor. It wasn't until I took another math teacher that made me really appreciate his teaching methods. He's friendly, smart and helpful. He has no problem doing problems over and over until you get it. Every chapter, there is a test (Math 123B) and homework. I am planning to take STATS with him this fall.

He's the best math teacher I've ever had. If you can't understand the material, he'll help you. The exams and quizzes are fairly easy and he won't give you tough questions on them. The only thing is he assigns way too much homework but most of it does help.

He assigns homework, but it all helps because his homework is like his quizzes is like his tests. He's an interesting guy and I genuinely enjoyed his class. He does grade a bit hard, but the subject is pretty easy, so with a decent amount of studying you should be able to get an A. Pretty much the only thing you use the textbook for is homework.

He's a fair professor teaching a difficult course. All homework assignments are outlined at the beginning of the year and while he is a somewhat strict grader, you can contest any points that you lost. Quizzes are plenty but they are not extremely difficult provided you do the homework for the section beforehand.

My experiences with this professor have been a roller coaster - a lot of it dealing with the fact that we were both having to deal with personal stress. But in the end, he taught the course very effectively and recognized my efforts to learn and improve with the math. Overall very good teacher

Very meticulous, yet VERY forgiving math prof. Attending his lectures are vital to passing; he immensely simplifies everything from the book. 1st exam is easy, but they get difficult. Don't even worry about the hw. Dropped 3 lowest quizzes, avg 3 exams and replaces it with lowest exam grade. Should've gotten a low C but got a high B in the end.

He is a super nice guy and is super clear in his lectures. His exams and assignments are very straightforward and are based on everything he teaches.

I'm currently taking this professor for MATH 370A and he is absolutely amazing. His lectures are very clear and he makes difficult proofs and lessons super simple/easy to understand. His tests are very fair and easy as they are based off of the homework questions.

This professor is very good lecturer but also expects alot of his students. alot of hw and mandatory study guide but is needed to succeed on the tests. If you do both hw and study guide and learn it well you will pass. The tests are layed out very well with no curve balls but it will show if u truely understood the hw. Lowest test replaced by final

Great professor for MATH370A his exams and zero curve balls and made it so easy to get an A if you just studied his exam reviews. He makes it very linear for you to get a good grade in the class and wants his students to do good. He is a tough grader and will mark you on the small things to be prepared.

Note that this class is extremely difficult. Professor is a tough grader as well but if you put in the work it is passable. This class is harder than any calculus class so be prepared and try and have a flexible schedule. I admire his enthusiasm to teach and he is kind; I believe he even rounded our final. Good guy.

Great professor that made lectures interesting and applicable. Definitely do the homework to practice for the exams.

He is a great professor, his lectures are amazing and I got to learn a lot. He is very generous with the grading, his homework will be helpful to do if you wanna do good in the class. He gives out exam review homework that if you do good in you have a strong chance at passing with a high grade. Again amazing I would take him again if I could.

A difficult class so study hard for exams. The professor is kind, funny, and teaches very well so show up. The lecture notes will help on hw and the hw review will help on exams. He does grade a little harsh on exams. Try to get good grades on exams 1-3 before the final since it goes over a lot of material.

Professor Faridpak is a very good math professor. He structures the class the best compared to others teaching the class. Additionally, he reviews older skills from earlier math classes, which is very helpful when applying them in this class. The exam weight structure is exam heavy, however the homework and exam reviews prepare you well

The class was very fast paced which is why I believe he rushed through some lessons and I got lost multiple times and it was really hard to catch up. However he seems caring about students and seems excited to help if you ask. If you don't get the homework and exam reviews you won't do well on the tests.
