An online course, have to stay disciplined in your work. Only have to take ten quizzes(10 questions, 20 minutes) to pass , its tough if you don't understand the chapter and don't read it.
The subject itself is pretty difficult. I wouldn't reccomend taking this course online, so take it in person if possible. He explains things very well giving good examples that we can actually relate to. He makes sure you understand the concepts and is open to answering any questions. Slight accent, but it's all good. Very enjoyable teacher!
His accent was hard to understand at first, but I got used to it after awhile. Very good teacher, his lectures are informative. He lets you know everything and answers any questions you have to clarify. Gives practice quizzes just to prepare you for the 25 question exam. He would like you to read the whole chapter before you come to class, but
I don't you will need a textbook for this class; for me, his lectures are sufficient to take the exams. He gives good examples to let you comprehend more and better, and loves class participation.
This site totally tricked me into taking this class. First 3 wks into class reading up to ch. 4-- no lectures and he barely touches on the subject of economics in class- instead lecturing on class participation. I'm so droping it and taking it next semester with a different teacher!!
Worst online class EVER. The practice quizzes would never appear on the exams. The textbook is badly written and bunch of things are hard to understand. Quizzes are SO HARD can't even find answers in the textbook. Do not recommend the online class
How many online Professors are so concerned you are able to complete their course successfully? Not many...I was impressed at the Professors concern. And I appreciated his questions making it clear the amount of time it would take to complete his course and thoroughly understand the material...and I highly recommend this instructor.
Very challenging instructor, if you don't go class don't expect to pass. Most of his exam questions come from his lecture and only a few of them come from the text. No need get the study guide with the text, it's useless (he doesn't use it). Just get the used version of the text, save money! Ask choke questions...he's rambles easily
Highly recommended. As long as you attend class and take good notes, you should be fine for the exam. Whole course is based on 75pts from exams. His lecture and study guides are sufficient info for the exams, don't need the book.
Dr. Khaleghi is a helfpul teacher. He's really funny and makes learning alot of fun.
he is a funny professor. he helps you a lot b4 da exams so make sure u come 2 class on time bcoz he will do a review wit da class. he is not a hard professor if you pay attention and understand his lectures. he made me like economics. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The class is not easy, but if you come to class regularly and pay attention, everything will come easily to you. Everything on the exams are covered in class...there are no trick questions at all. He is very straightforward and very funny. He's from Iran and has an accent, but speaks English perfectly.
If you are looking for a good economics professor this is it. I am a KCC student, and came LCC to take this course. Prof. Khaleghi knows his material and most importantly he knows how to teach a good class. Engaging lectures with sense of humor. This is why we attend school, to understand and learn, so we can live a better life. Excellent class!
alright professor and do suggest him to others who need this course, he's a good choice but the only thing that is bad is the first half of the semester where he's boring. if you get sick of a professor because of how they present themselves then don't take this class cause you will get bored easily and want to leave his class
Wonderful teacher! I am not a fan of reading the textbook and his class doesn't really need it. All the material he covers in class are on the exams. No homework is really given! All his exams have online practice exams on laulima, and his exams questions are the same. He knows how to teach and describe things so you understand them. He doesn't rea
I understand clearly what on earth economics is with him, he only covers what is only needed. The book is not really needed he has helpful videos in laulima that you can study. he has an accent so you need to bare with it. he's funny too! whatever he gives on his review guide appears on the exam, not really exactly he may paraphrase it.
Kinda easy just as long as u read the chapters he tells u to. He is pro student and is always available for help. Only had 4 exams and no final.
I really enjoyed Dr. Khalegi's class and the small study group we formed on his suggestion. His chalkboard diagrams and explanations of graphs during lectures were easy to understand and remember, and the exams were fairly easy if you put in the time to review and memorize your notes. Having a study group was fun and helped a lot. I recommend him
I forgot to mention that Khaleghi is really helpful and will go out of his way to help students, whether it's meeting with them to explain the material, or writing recommendation letters. He also shows genuine care about students and keeps up with them after the course is over. I'd definitely take one of his classes again. :)
Very interesting instructor, i recommend him if you are willing to put the minimum work. he is boring, he only takes attendance once in a while and only rates on exams. he used to put up practice exams but now he doesn't so i recommend just taking notes or taking his powerpoints that is provided because its almost impossible to fail
This was my first online class. Professor was extremely helpful. Material was difficult at times. Instructor bent over backwards to assist you. Many opportunities to get an "A". It'd be hard not to get an "A" or "B" if you make an effort. I'm looking forward to taking his ECON 131 online class this Fall!
Overall he is a good teacher. He somewhat has an accent but you get used to it quickly. If you have any questions or need him to repeat something he will gladly answer and repeat things for you. Exams are easy, as long as you use the study guides and make sure you understand the topics covered. The only real homework is note taking from the book.
He has a big accent but you get used to it. He's kinda funny too. He knows his subject. very good teacher. recommend him much.
Took an online class from him. Homework takes hours, but is very helpful for the quizzes being that most questions on them are verbatim. No midterm or final, just hw and quizzes. Easy to pass, you just have to put in the time and effort.
I have taken ECON 130 and 131 with Mr. Khaleghi. He is my favorite teacher of all time! He is friendly, helpful, and hilarious! His lectures are clear, concise, and practical! Most of your grade will be based on four exams, which are easy because he prepares you really well with lots of review and practice exams! I would suggest him to anyone!
Best Macroeconomics ever definitely recommend. He has an accent, but just sit up front, bring your book, do your homework(which is only notes&once in a while a post on laulima), and review the practice tests and you'll be an A student! Will take his ECON 131 course.
So I took his Microeconomics course online. Hardest thing in my life! He's a great professor in person/lecture tho.I struggled so much I did everything from online searching/tutoring, LRC Tutoring, group study, etc. Don't take this course online or you'll for sure fail. The concepts are hard and not like macroeconomics. Trust me I'm an A&B Student!
Awesome and funny professor.Never play favorite or being bias.He cares about everyone in his class.His lectures are pretty solid and easy to understand.Never really give you any notes,you'll need to make it on your own.Exams are pretty much your only grade so do good on them and you'll be fine.
Took the online class, he was there when you asked questions. The class was easy though and free will where you could do homeworks and quizzes whenever before the due date. It was great because I was 3 weeks ahead of the due date which allowed me to put more time in my other classes.
His class is boring. He hardly grades homework, barely explain the chapters in the book clearly, and most of the time everything is seems as very long lecture. Study guides does help, but there were some question that were even talked about in class.
Dr. Khaleghi is very clever man. If you have the propensity to keep an open mind, you'll do well. A genius and a covenant in the underbuilding. Take this class. He is well worth the bid.
Exams are difficult. He doesn't really cover the chapters in the textbook good enough. He draws graphs that do help explain the concepts in the book and talks about them. There are 4 exams and all of them affects your grades the most. He doesn't even grade homework. He just tells you to do them for the sake of it.Take his class only if you have to.
He is a very fair instructor. He knows his subject and he's good at it. If you take his class, be ready for taking notes of the chapters. Exams are pretty hard, so you need to attend class regularly and make sure you understand the lessons. I recommend him for economics
This class is very easy to pass with an A. He doesn't use the online code. It's strictly from the book. You take notes on the assigned chapter and then he marks if you completed it then lectures on the chapter. All exams are multiple choice. There was 4 exams total but only the highest three grades counted towards the final grade.
Great instructor who genuinely cares about his students, is very easy to talk to and makes class very fun! Just take notes on the chapter assigned and you will do fine on the exam. He gives practice exams that pretty much help you with the entire actual exam. If you want to learn economics and have a good time doing so, take Professor Khaleghi.
I am very happy that I took Econ 130 & 131 with Dr. Khaleghi. His lectures were informative, clear and details. He makes sure you understand the concepts to prepare for the exam. He gave out study guide and went over the questions with you and review graphs. So this class is an easy A.
It is easy class. Taking notes are important because he gives you credit for it. Tests are multiple choices and 25 questions each test. He will give you study guide. He does take attendance but not required to attend all class. But be ready for boring lecture, bring extra coffee. He is fair with grading
Dr. Khaleghi clearly wants his students to learn. He requires notes to be taken on each chapter. He is very clear about what he wants you to know and his study guides are the best for preparing for the 4 exams he gives. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Khaleghi for economics.
His live class is much easier than his online class. There's a lot of time between assignments and a lot of resources online but you're pretty much on your own to get it done. You actually have to read the book, because the answers aren't pulled right out. It really tests your understanding. Great teacher though!
Class is ridiculously easy. Don't buy the textbook its a waste of money. No real homework, just chapter questions (50) then chapter quiz (20) all multiple choice and you can just google the questions and almost all of them are found word or word online!!!! fricken awesome
He was a great Professor. It was a lot of work, but you need to take the incentive to learn on your own.
I just finished taking this class from Professor Khaleghi and I received an A. He opens up all the homework, quizzes, and exams from the beginning of the semester, so there is no excuse for doing it last minute. But to make things better, towards the end of the semester he extends everything to the end of the semester. Easy A!
The hardest part about this class was the amount of note taking required for each chapter (but he's EXTREMELY flexible on due dates). It's pretty straightforward. You have 4 tests, 34 determine your final score. If you just pay attention to what hes saying, you'll pass EASY every time. Great teacher, fun lecture, made Economics easy to relate to.
Besides the fact that he's a little bit out there and the unbearable amount of pages needed for notes, his class pretty is easy(ish). He relies heavily on the textbook for most of the information you'll need. Some people complain about his accent. Get over it. His written English is better than most ccollege profs. HE'S DEFINITELY A PEPPER.
A lot of the content on the tests are taught through the lecture. Super flexible with homework due dates and is understanding with personal issues. Allows retakes for all tests.
Awesome professor, he is straight to the point as long you read the chapters and do the notes he has you do for homework class is really simple do the work and read you will not fall behind. Exams are exactly what you cover in the periods he has you do each chapter and notes. I highly recommend him for econ 130 also 131 took both classes made life
The best economy professor I have ever met. I would definitely recommend his class. His class is very interesting and he is very professional. His class is easy to pass as long as you follow the instruction. I got A in his class and I pretty much enjoy his class. He give me an recommendation letter to support me apply scholarship and tutor position
I took ECON 130 online with Khaleghi. He is awesome at being straight forward with emails, which i really appreciate. Would take again--
If you need to take Econ, seriously take it from him! Super easy and highly recommend. Just show up to class and you'll get an A
I took the class online, it was very straightforward. Just do the assignments and you will pass. He gives homework for each chapter and quizzes. There are also 3 exams you take. I took the online course and I was able to finish the class early because he opens all the assignments in the beginning of the semester. I would definitely take him again!
easy online class, just do all the assignments and you will pass. Online tests and quizzes were similar to the homework questions so it was easy. Would definitely take again.
I liked his online class. It is a self-paced class. He opens all the assignments in the beginning of the semester. You have enough time for every chapter. I would recommend him.
STRUCTURE IS SIMPLE AND EASY TO FOLLOW.
All assignments are opened at the beginning of the semester; he does have different deadlines for each assignment so be sure to keep track of them! It's a straightforward schedule though so it shouldn't be hard to forget. Missed a deadline for an exam by accident and he was extremely understanding and extended it two days for me. Recommended!!!
Khaleghi knows what he's talking about! No doubt. He gives multiple chances on exams so it's hard to fail! The only homework given was to take a few pages of notes from certain chapters. His accent is a bit strong but it's easy to get past. I would recommend his class 200%!
I took him online and he grades only on homework (50 questions), quizzes(20 questions) and exams(50 questions). If you read you will whip through the assignments and exams! You could also finish the class early if you wanted too, everything is open and ready to get done. Great class and professor!! Would take again!
Simple grader. Homework load was decent, but I felt that his lectures were all over the place. He didn't have a set lesson plan for each class session. It seemed as though he just covered whatever we needed help with or had questions on that day. Not very helpful outside of class. Wouldn't take his class again.
Online class Easy A. Weekly quizzes & hw, 4 exams. You can finish the class before the semester. No need the book. He also gives second attempts for assignments at the end of the semester!!
Awesome instructor! I took his face-to-face course, which I highly recommend because he has a gift of explaining macroeconomics in a way that everyone can understand (I had zero prior knowledge). He's lighthearted and funny, which makes learning much more enjoyable. Homework is comprised of easy notes and exams are allowed 2 tries, best score taken
Not much of a heavy workload for this online class -- one homework and one quiz due every week and four exams throughout the semester. The questions on everything that you will do is all multiple choice and some of the questions are repeated in the quizzes & exams. There's no need to buy the book because he posts all the modules on laulima.
Really cool. He opens everything on the day the semester start. You can go ahead finish everything early if you want. Extra credit is just substitutable other two HW and 2 Quizzes. Quizlet would be your best friends
great class. good professor ! lots of homework questions but easy if you read and pay attention . he gives good feedback and really cares and whats students to stay on track, emails reminders about homework and quizzes so students dont fall behind.
In my opinion, Dr. Khaleghi is not a good professor. He makes you take 8-10 pages of Cornell notes per chapter instead of letting you decide how to take your notes. His exams are confusing and poorly written; there are many typos and syntax errors. I got an A in this class, but it was difficult and I do not recommend Dr. Khaleghi.
I took him in Spring 2018. He inspired me to pursue Economics and I just graduated this past May 2020 with a BA in Economics. He is very chill and understands that we have lives outside of school. Economics is hard but I personally enjoyed it and that's why I got my degree in it.
Prof. Khaleghi's class was very well organized and easy to follow. No surprises! I was overwhelmed at first but after a couple of chapters, you should get the hang of it. Each week there is a forum, homework questions (50), quiz (20), and exam (50). He provided a ton of material but youtube and Quizlet were a big help ;) Responds to emails quickly!
Professor Khaleghi is an amazing professor who will definitely go out of his way to help students. He provides the textbook, so you don't need to buy. Class did require reading and summarizing the whole chapter into Discussions, although, it helps to remember the terminology better. You should definitely take Professor Khaleghi for ECON 130!
Prof Khaleghi has a very straight forward online class for ECON130. I highly recommend his classes!
This class was pretty straight forward. All assignments were open from day 1, so you' re able to get ahead if needed. He also gave extra credit at the end of course. I never interacted with him at all, which is fine by me. Very self-lead course. ECON was tough, but he provides lots of resources for learning the content.
Gholam is 100% my favorite teacher to date
Dr. Khaleghi is one of the best teachers Ive ever had!
The textbook was provided for free. Just read each chapter and submit a forum post and you will pass this class. Highly recommended!
Now that courses are offered autonomously online, I believe Professor Khaleghi does a great job of providing different resources to deepen your understanding on the different concepts. If you review and study all of the resources he provides, you will be successful. Pre-recorded lectures are extremely helpful.
I took the 5-week course, in which there were 10 chapters + 1 extra credit chapter and 5 forum posts. The post criteria was vague, but I think if you meet the word count, you'll get full points. The homework was hard, 50 questions per chapter, but they did make the quizzes easier. Or else easier questions were used. Average course, doable.
Dr. Khaleghi's class was awesome! I took his 5-week accelerated course. 2 chapters were due each week which meant LOTS of material to read and watch in order to grasp the subject. Highly recommend taking his class. Will be taking his ECON 130 course!
There is a bit of writing for this class as well as a bunch of quizzes and homework, however Professor Khaleghi provides you with all the resources you need to excel in his class.
Having Professor Gholam Khaleghi this past semester was such a privilege and made this course a successful experience! Provided an efficient grading criteria and made sure to give meaningful feedback, answered all emails in a timely manner and made it a priority to check in regularly with the class. He is brilliant!
Dr. Khaleghi was an amazing instructor. He provides a lot of tools for you to help you understand the material. I took the accelerated 5-week summer Class. Be ready to put in a lot of time to understand the material and be successful on your homework and quizzes. Dr. Khaleghi was always available when you had questions or needed help.
Dr. Khaleghi is an extraordinary instructor! Lots of homework but provides many resources and tools to help you understand each chapter. Provides extra credit opportunities, sends weekly reminders with helpful tips, and always available if you need help.
Professor Khaleghi is a wonderful instructor that cares for his students, his care stretches from you and your learning journey to you as an individual. The textbook and additional materials are VERY useful, so USE IT. All concepts are easy to grasp, he responds quickly, and his class is fun. What more could a student want? 10/10 class experience!!
He is the best professor I ever met! He responds to email fast and the class is very well organized. I am going to take his class again in the Summer semester.
Yes, I took 130 and 131 in the same semester. Difficult, but doable. I would only recommend doing it that way if you are confident in managing your time or are a part time student. Both classes are structured the same. The first few chapters are exactly the same, and all assignments are available from day 1. Get ready to read. Lots of resources.
There is technically a textbook but he uploads it for u so theres no need to pay. The homework and quizzes are long, but they are manageable. He's very willing to help you just have to email.
Took the accelerated 5-week course, and the workload was very very doable! Skim through the textbook pages, watch supplemental videos, contribute to forums, and complete HW (each HW took ~1 hr). Course is set up in a way that makes it easy to grasp concepts + prepares students for weekly exams. Prof. Khaleghi was overall nice and approachable!
Thank you for the new knowledge that I have gained in this economics course. I found all the materials and lessons in this class to be insightful.
This class was challenging but highly rewarding. Although it required over 30 hours of study each week, the learning experience was invaluable. He is very kind, encouraging, and helpful. Economics is a challenging subject, which makes having a supportive professor so essential. I would take this course or another course with Dr. Khaleghi.
Was very helpful and gave a simple weekly schedule of work that was easy to stay on top of while learning. If you need to take an econ class I would 100% recommend this class for you.
Professor Khaleghi was an incredible teacher. He conducted hu
Professor always responded clearly and in a super timely manner whenever a question was raised weather it was in the homework, the syllabus or just a quick question on something that I was stuck or confused on. This made completing tasks in a timely manner easier. The teaching style was very straight forward and fairly easy to get the rhythm of.
I would highly recommend Dr. Khaleghi. I was fortunate to complete ECON 130 & 131 with him fully online. His teaching style is easy to follow and he provides excellent resources to elaborate on each week's lessons. You are able to work ahead and complete your assignments beforehand. This is helpful when you are a student and working full-time.
This was a fun and informative class. Professor Khaleghi was very easy to communicate with and answered emails quickly. Always willing to help when I had homework questions. He provides the text book online. Short video links to help understand the class. The homework is not difficult. You will A+ the exams if you do well and study the homework.
Dr. Khaleghi ECON 131 class was exceptional. I enjoyed taking this class because I learned how I can apply it to my everyday life and what's going on in today's world. I enjoyed the discussion part of the class because we got to discuss with our classmates on each weekly topic. Thank you Dr. Khaleghi for a great class.
I have never enjoyed a class as much as I did economics 130 and 131/. If you need the credits, he is your person.
