Explains math VERY well. I got good grades in his class because he breaks math down into easy to learn steps. If you can, take this professor for all your math classes, because you WILL pass with a good grade, not beacuse it is an easy class, but because he has the talent to make math easy to understand. I only wish he taught at Orchid Ridge also.

His grading policy was straightforward: 5 exams, homework, and final. Grade on the final replaces your lowest test score if its higher. His exams were very fair in my opinion and he'd lay out exactly what you needed to know. If you do the homework and practice problems to study for the exams you'll pass with flying colors.

Absolutely terrible for Calc 3. Would not recommend! Hard to understand, does not explain new concepts. Picked on students to make fun, berated others for "not learning" when they asked questions. Does not teach 3D drawing, which is essential. Claims tests are right from notes - not quite. Expect curveballs. Worst math class i have experienced.

Low on the list of best math teachers. Does not explain the material as best as he should. Screws up his numbers and seems like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Explains new material briefly or not enough. Gets mad or agitated when students ask too many questions. Would not choose this professor if you do not know the material before hand.

And he is known to change exam dates. Review your exams to make sure he graded correctly. Doing all the online hw is a must.

Dr Nasari does not understand how students are confused by his explanations, and does not put an effort into being understood. When you ask questions he says the same thing again. He configures the online homework to be as hard as possible, so you cannot do it unless you already know how to do it. He often revises previous statements.
