Funny, most of the time - if you can understand his jokes. His accent is hard at first, but you get used to it. He always says "Problem" then "Solution". But he's very approchable.

i really like this prof. i think he's lecture is very easy to understand

Clear lecture in Lin Alg 1, very easy to follow and has well-structured notes.

Very simplified lectures, and excellent notes. Very clear when explaining things. Sometimes he does unusual things in class, but it is a nice break from a boring lecture.

This prof always knows what he's talking about. He knows his stuff very well and he seems like it really wants the students to know the stuff like he does. Great Prof! cd

LOVED his sense of humor!

Good teacher for this math class, follow everything he says and you will do well

This is a great prof who' door is always open to help students - he's really clear about what you're required to know, and will take the time to explain anything fuzzy. He's hilarious, too!

great prof. really wants you to learn. goes into depth. can be boring at times. unibrow can be a distraction but overall great prof. didnt really need the text or exam review.

Moghaddam is a good prof. in the sense that he does constantly offer his help outside of classes, but I find that he is a bit patronizing in class. He is a funny man - definitely not monotonous. If you are in matrices though, just buy Grants Notes and forget the text book and any lecture notes.

Very Very good teacher.

clear teaching process.

Very funny. Love his analogies. Clearly stated that the course has nothing to do with the movie "The Matrix" lol. Unibrow is hilarious. Makes it worth going to class.

Excellent professor.

Accent, yet very easy to understand. Very nice and funny, makes class more interesting. Very good notes, and examples, strongly recommended.

It seemed like he actually cared about whether or not students acheived good grades. He made it clear that he was there to help, and he was easy to understand. Get this professor if you can.

Great guy, good sense of humour, excellent class for anyone who doesn't like math but needs the credit.

Really awesome prof. Gives great notes and is interesting to listen to.

VERY HAPPY WITH HIS TEACHING METHODS, HAS EXCELLENT NOTES, USEFUL EXAMPLES, AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP AFTER CLASS, WANTS TO SEE HIS STUDENTS DO WELL AND DOES EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS, HE KIND OF SMELLS LIKE B.O. THOUGH BUT HE'S STILL AN EXCELLENT PROF!

Awesome Notes. Don't even need the Testbook. Just the practice Exams.

Excellent teacher and extremely helpful. He really wants to see his students succeed and will work hard to get his point across. He also has a good sense of humour, which makes class a bit more interesting.

He uses lots of examples to get the point across... i didnt go to half the classes and still did amazing (82.6% and 97.6% on midterm and final)

Took him for Matricies. Don't let th ename fool you, amazing prof. Wants everyone to get an A. I recommend taking the course where an extra class is given if you are bad at math. Slow pace, great explanations. I always found math hard but if you come to class, you should be completly fine! Would take a course again with him for sure

Very good prof. Extremely helpful and wants students to do well. Encourages people to come to his office hours (and means it). However, he sometimes tells weird, long-winded stories. Although English is his second language, he speaks clearly and is very easy to understand.

No Comments

Great prof who is always willing to help! Clear examples. Good class speed. Very approachable.

Very good prof, explains things slowly and clearly, follows the text closely but elaborates on what the text neglects. I recommend the developmental section of 1310 for extra class time and marks for written assignments.

Excellent prof. Speaks with an accent, but after a few classes you learn to deal with it. Class is paced just about perfectly, even though he often goes into long winded tangents, they're good for a nice mental break in the middle of class. Take the developmental section for the extra lecture and assignments. Highly recommended!

Very good prof! As said earlier, he has an accent but it is very slight and he speaks very clearly. Great teacher, and guess what? I never even bought the textbook! Just took detailed notes and paid attention in class. It also helped that the course material is quite easy, especially when compared to Math 1500. Overall 5/5.

I had this teacher for first year and he was a walk in the park... can't say the same for the second year. The textbook problems are way too easy... can't say the same for the problems he'll give you on the mid-term or exam. Oh and he's not forgiving either on the marking. Do NOT take this course unless you have to.

best prof ever!!!! i love his accent and his uni brow! hes such a good teacher though and he really knows how to teach which is a FABULOUS change from most math teachers at this university. hands down my favorite teacher.

He actually made math enjoyable! Great Prof... one of the best!

Very helpful, and actually makes math enjoyable. Plus he'll single out people who talk or are distracting in class which is great. Excellent prof overall

Awesome prof. Wanted everyone to do well, didnt need textbook or grants. Well written notes and the developmental section = A+ i would take him again any day.

Excellent prof! Developmental section is really helpful, notes are really good, lots of examples which are similar to exam questions. Wants the class to do well so he spends time on the harder topics. Hard to understand at first but you get used to it. Take his class if you can!

such a great teacher, truly cares about teaching and helping everyone. helped me to finally pass calculus!

This prof is amazing! He has excellent teaching skills and he clearly wants his class to do well. very organized.

Great teacher! Very clear and easy to understand. He really prepared me for the exam and was very helpful during office hours. He loves giving analagys which are often entertaining.

Very nice guy!Tons of examples in notes, very helpful!Explaination is very clear!Recommendated!

Must attend class. Avoid coming in late frequently, he WILL point it out. Tells stories to make calculus interesting. Easy to do well long as you attend class and do practice problems. Lecture notes are clear and concise (only what you need to know). Marks fair. Highly recommended

Don't listen to people that give bad reviews... if you go to classes and labs and study the notes you will do well. Very clear and his exams are based directly from inclass/inlab work.

I thought I hated this guy but looking back I actually just hated math. He was an excellent prof. Exams are not easy, and he doesn't mark them easy either. But he's better than Trim in my opinion

he is a good prof. explaining clear.

Explanations are clear. Tutorials are very helpful, in that he would go through practice problems and allow students to do so as well. Lightened up the class with humour. Overall, a very good prof.

This prof cares that his students do well. He is happy and enthusiastic about teaching the class and uses lots of analogies when telling stories to motivate students. I learned a lot. He is a very fair marker and gives clear explanations with lots of examples.

I like his notes. His notes are helpful. If you want to review, you can just use his notes which are very clear. In his class, he gave some good examples to explain each definition and told us some interesting stories in his previous classes. He is good.

I really liked this prof, don't believe any of the bad comments. He will call you out in class if you're late or if you're talking (I like that) but if you're there to put in the effort there is no better 1300 prof. His examples and notes are superb and he's funny in class. Do lots of practice q's

Very Very nice prof

Awesome professor. His tests are hard, but this guy can teach. He is the best math prof in the U of M Math Department.

Awesome prof, easily one of the best in the department. Made math 2 super easy, does tons of examples from old exams, and tells some really funny stories. As long as you stay off your phone and give the man the respect he deserves you wont be disappointed

He is indeed the one of best professors in the university. He is honest, very knowledgeable and if you are his student, make sure you get the most out of his classes.

His sense of humour is pretty dark, but he is hilarious! He hates if you skip, but you shouldn't anyways.

Takes a bit of time to get used to his accent, but after that great prof.

Dr. Moghaddam's lectures were a bit long, in my opinion. But if you go to class, do the homework, and buy the old exams booklet to help prep, it's an easy A. I finished the final in 35 minutes. His explanations are thorough, though he does have an accent that one must get used to first. He does care to see students do well, so go see him.

This prof explains very well. Specifically for math 1300 there are a LOT of things that he teaches in one class and expects you to know it. This course requires a lot of studying. If you arent prepared to give couple of hours after each lecture to practice, dont bother taking it. The prof is funny and explains very clearly with lots of examples tho

be prepared to actually do some homework if you want to receive an A. Moghaddam has a lot of sass during his lectures (no phones allowed dont come to lectures late) but he does care a lot about students who need help, just dont be disrespectful during his lectures. Very sweet man

Very good prof. Knows how to teach the material, and will help you if you need it (avoid using cellphones during the lecture). Highly recommend.

Great teacher really cares about making sure his students are understanding and able to succeed in his class. (Moghaddam, if you are reading this you are my favorite prof)

I think GI Moghaddam is a good prof. For the most part very good at explaning and supplies good examples. Definitely very passionate and cares a lot for how students do. Very helpful in his office hours too. Biggest issues would be that his writting is not the best, and he runs out of time to complete examples at the end of lectures sometimes.

Is good teacher overall.

He's a good lecturer and is clear in his examples. For the exams, make sure you REALLY know your stuff. They will be HARD. His examples could step up a bit in difficulty to more accurately reflect the exams, which don't give you a lot of time to finish, so write quick. Definitely keep your phone away in his lectures, he will call you out.

Amazing prof. Gives very clear notes and lots of examples. Quizzes and exams were fair. He is pretty funny in lectures too! Don't use your cell phone though...

He'll act real tough for the first few weeks, but if you respect him he'll respect you. You pretty much need to attend every single class if you want to understand anything, and do a lot of practice problems. If you want to do well in the course buy the midterm & exam booklet from the store and you'll do great on them. Overall good proff

Very good professor, cares a lot about his students and gives feedbacks of Midterms and quizzes. However, he makes mistakes in calculations in-class, so, it's imperative to review them at home.

Prof really cares about the students and gets students participating so that the material is understood. He usually gets a lot done in a class, so if you miss a class or two you may need to catch up a bit.

Really really good prof

Great prof in lectures. Writes out notes during the lectures so it's easy to follow along. One on one he's not the most friendly and kind of intimidating but if you can get past that he is pretty helpful. Do not talk or be on your phone during his lectures. He will stop his lecture and stare you down.

If you plan on skipping class, good luck on the tests. He cruises over plenty of examples that you will miss if you skip. He genuinely cares for the students; he only teaches the course because he noticed that students in his higher up courses were struggling with these materials. Very good feedback given after tests.

I loved Dr Moghaddam! He made coming to class really enjoyable. Does lots of examples in class and writes down things during lectures do they are easy to follow. Clear explanations. He is quite funny in lectures too. Wants to see his students succeed. Just dont be late or on your cellphone during lecture or else he may call you out for it.

Of course, best math 1210 and math 2130 teacher i have ever seen. But because of him being best he expects best.

At first I wasn't to sure about this class but now I absolutely love it and hope I get to take another course with him in the future. Has a strict phone policy but is very willing to help with questions and tries to make sure that everyone understands the material. Is very funny and very helpful in and outside of class. Very good class.

Fantastic professor. Hand writes all of his notes, and his notes are super helpful. Does lots of examples & really prepares you for exams. Exams can be tricky but ask questions and pay attention in class and you'll do fine. Seems intimidating if you ask him a question but don't worry, he wants you to understand. Will call you out for using a phone.

He seems harsh, but he really cares about his students. Do all the practice questions you can, and don't be afraid to go meet with him in his office. He's really helpful, although he will let you know what you should have known from previous classes. But maybe don't ask questions about stuff you should know during lecture.

I loved his Math 1 lectures, but would never want him as a prof for a class that I was struggling in. I really liked his teaching style and jokes, but wouldn't feel comfortable going to him for help. I liked him, but know a lot of people who say they'd never take a class with him again.

Really good lectures very smart prof. He was able to captivate the class well and he threw in a couple jokes here and there when the material got tough. He can be kinda cold and rude so I never really felt comfortable asking him questions but his lectures were good enough for me to get my grade

Dr. Moghaddam gives really great lectures and is really fair and caring. You have to show up to class, as he doesn't post notes and these notes are vital to your understanding of the course. You cannot be on your phone during class. Would highly recommend carefully reviewing the notes and doing all of the textbook practice after class

Great prof, would totally recommend,attend class and do lots of practise questions, you will definitely pass the course.

Personally loved Dr. M, though he can seem quite cold at times it's clear he wants his students to pass and expects the best from them. He would often pause during lectures to give humourous or relevant anecdotes which made lectures feel more personal. This is obviously a difficult class and he does his best to teach it.

Dr. M is very serious, does not allow any phones or talking, and goes through notes quickly (but will pause if you ask). He tells the occasional joke though and gives many examples. He's a good prof. Just make sure to be respectful, and label your notes well because he sometimes gives examples that are useful only in future classes.

Hes very serious but turned out to be my most organized and caring prof through online class transitions. His classes are boring and hard to understand but he gives great examples. A little scary at times but he would make sure all material would be covered for the tests. Very organized and prepares you for future math eng courses.

He covered everything that you needed to know all tests. If you pay attention he writes very good notes (he hand writes his notes and its hard to get access to them if you don't go to class). Hilarious prof (if it's not at your expense for being late or on you phone) but not approachable in office hours (come prepared, he means business).

Great prof, solid choice if you're taking MATH 1500. I barely did the textbook problems and still got an A. He teaches you everything you need to know in his notes, they are very thorough. I'm gonna warn you that he doesn't like phones or late students, he'll literally stop the lecture and stare at you if you're late or on your phone...

Covers the entire material very well, and give LOTS of examples as long as you make sure you understand whats going on in the examples and do the homework you should do alright.

Apart of illegible hard-writing, this professor is a legend. If you pay attention in the lectures you are bound to easily pass this course with flying colours.

If he uploaded lecture notes I would've given 5 stars, but he doesn't, so you have to attend every class. That's the only reason I won't take him again, but other then that I got no complains.

a very good lecturer. loves mathematics. appreciates when you come to class. available in office hours.

Enjoyed taking his class so far. Mog seems to genuinely enjoy teaching and wants to see you succeed. He explains topics thoroughly and gives examples not in the textbook, and lots of them. You must stay on top of work in this class because he moves quite fast. Gets -1 because he doesn't post notes and writing is often hard to read.

Gud prof, great lectures, almost understand everything ,attendance not needed but reminds very hard to pass if not attended, exam based on what he does in lectures, tutorial he got a little his way of dealing with things, he was a little rude in the beginning but then became a little friendly, will help you, but he only likes certain doubts, haha.

It's clear that Prof. Moghaddam really cares about his students passing the class and understanding the material. He's a bit stern and intimidating, but his lectures make a lot of sense, and he spends a lot of time doing example problems for the class

Loved this guy! I hope I get him as much as I can in the future. He seems to be a very polarizing figure: You either love him for simply how he is, or hate him because his topic is hard.

A really good prof. Takes time to do a lot of examples in class to make sure students understand the topic very well and actually cares about students academic well-fare. Also very strict on punctuality to class,.

Probably the best math professor I've had so far. Try not to miss a single class and try to understand everything in class. Make sure your prerequisite concepts are clear when you take this course.

Explained concepts very clearly, friendly and wants his students to succeed. Bonus marks on exams were appreciated. Writing was messy sometimes but speaks clearly so not a big issue. Highly recommend for Math 1210.

very sassy and strict, but good at his job. wont entertain if u try to be his pet. would help with a doubt but in his own way. lectures were the best honestly, u r a fool if u don't attend, exams were based on that only. not even a lecture i couldn't understand, teaches very well and systematically, would definitely take again.

Expect a challenging but rewarding experience with this prof. He covers material thoroughly, and bonus marks help offset the fast pace. Unstuck study proved invaluable for study prep.
