I had Mr. Nazarian for my online class in fall 2004. He was one of the best instructors I ever had. He was very organized, supportive and attentive to his student's needs. He always responded to my emails with respect. He was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

The instructor was very well organized though he was strict. He really cared about our learning. Haji had a passion for teaching and a special sense of humor which made learning Math easy and fun. I didn't get an A but I learned a lot.

good, caring.

great guy. very helpful

Great guy, very helpful. He takes extra time aside from class to set up group study sessions, and sometimes does your homework problems as examples in class.

listen to lectures and don't do your homework in class.

Nice guy, Had weekly study sessions, 20% extra credit on weekly quizes, only 10 questions a quiz. Goes over homework in class before due. Reccomended!!

easy. does homework problems in class.

Sarcastic, but amusing. Open book/open note tests. No final. Worked hard to help us succeed. Went over tests each week. Answered questions. Gave extra bonus points each week.

super visual teacher, awesome examples

He tries his best to explain, but gives up if he sees you don't care about learning. You have to be thorough about your work and won't be able to ace the class with minimum amount of effort because if you think he doesn't care, he does. You either have to know math really well or work at it all the time. Take the class if you are here to learn.

the reason why many of these students did not like him is because they did not do the work. at first i thought i could get away with not doing anything, but then i realized that he said it right from the beginning. DO THE WORK GET AN A+ and that is what i got. and i still had the time to kick it hardcore, haha

He gets frusterated very easily but he does a very good job of teaching. He doesnt like when students question him or dont care about learning. If you care about learning then you will do fine, but if you are going to slack he wont like you and you wont do well.

This teacher was okay, but not great. He explained things fairly well, but graded hard. Material on the quizzes were harder than the homework. Won't curve a quiz even if the whole class did poorly. There's no extra credit in his class. I got a higher grade than expected though.

He is very clear and very thorough when he's explaining stuff.. But he can get quite offended when his students dun attend classes.. And he really wants his student to LEARN, and not MEMORIZE!!! Which i think it's a good thing.. I will storngly recommend him for those taking Math 099.. Just do assignments and most importantly, TURN UP FOR CLASS!!:P

Great teacher! He explained things very clearly. There was no homework, only weekly quizzes which made it perfect for me. If you can, go to his office on a weekly basis or just before each quiz. I did it and it was really helpful. I think I am acing this course (or at least I am hoping). I do recommend him to all my friends.

I can't explain how worried I was about the grade. I never thought that hard work could pay off this much. Haji really cared about his students which gave ME more confidence when I needed it. He is one of the best professors I've ever had, because his teaching style really makes the learning challenging. Thank you so much for teaching this quarter.

He is one of the toughest and most organized teacher I have ever had. I am glad I am taking only one class this semester. I like the way he teaches and I am beginning to understand and like math. He is a passionate teacher and wants his students to do well. I just wish he was more flexible in grading quizzes. I do recommend him to my friends.

I was thinking about dropping this class but the teacher encouraged me to continue. I am glad I did. I am expecting a B+ or at least a B. If you are serious about learning, take this class with Mr. Nazarian. It is an experience that sticks with you for the rest of your life! Thank you Mr. Nazarian for caring!

This online course was excellent. I really enjoyed being able to share suggestions with my instructor via email. He was very considerate. He was very accommodating too. He always responded with respect, great attitude and knowledge of the material. I am very satisfied I took it and would definitely recommend it to my friends and etc.

Very good teacher. Explains everything perfectly and he is an easy grader. His tests are simple if you study the textbook. If you ask him questions he will gladly answer them and explain it in a way so you understand. I wish Haji would teach 120+

Great organized online class. I always got a quick, comprehensive response from this teacher. Mr. Nazarian is a demanding instructor. But his requests (reasonable requests) were clearly stated at the beginning of the course. So it was easy to follow class rules with no problems.

I was nervous after reading all the other reviews on here, but after taking his class I am skipping summer qtr math just so I can sign up for his next class in the fall. Very passionate about what he is teaching. He really wants you to learn, and will explain it as many ways as he has to. GREAT instructor.

Great teacher! I am repeating this course for the third time and I am finally getting it. I wish I had him first. Haji really cares about his students though some may call him a harsh grader. I recommend him to all my friends!

Mr. Nazarian has helped me so much with math and before his class I had taken 3 h.s. Algebra 2 classes and his is the best. yes he is a stricter teacher but he lays all of his expectations at the beginning. those who dont like him are the ones who dont try. i reccomend him and his english is good, those who disagree werent listening.

I liked Haji. He went over a lot of details and was helpful to the students. He gave out many practice problems that did not need to be turned in. Also, his homework assignments were quite simple and he went over them the next day. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Haji. Take his class already.

You will go bananas!! Very helpful when it came time for Final Exam.. he made videos of lectures on youtube which helped a lot. Wished we had more practice in class.

funny middle eastern dude. really helpful and makes sure everyone understands the concepts. just do your homework and you'll get an A. I did and i don't understand math very well.

Haji is passionate about what he is doing and if you can follow the accent you will be fine. Alot dropped out at the end, more than half the class.

Funny guy, which you need when taking math during the summer! Attend class and make sure you do the homework, if so you will be fine.

I took Math 99 with him. I think he is a good teacher if you really pay attention to him. He is passionate about teaching.

omg... this guy has now reached my top 1 favorite teacher ever... he makes the class active every morning by cracking jokes. he only grades quizes and test, no HW at all. as long as you go to class and understand his lectures, you are safe to get a B. i never did any handouts(exercises) yet all my quizes are C+ or better.con! not so easy quizzes

Mr. Nazarian is a great teacher. I enjoyed his class and videos. Attending class everyday and viewing his lecture notes and doing his review exercises has taught me a lot. Out of all my math courses I have taken at Bellevue College, I learned the most in his class.

Haji is a passionate teacher but he is hard. If you want to get an A, you need to attend and study really hard. I am not expecting a high mark since I skipped many lectures due to my work but I watched his YouTube videos. They are very helpful. I may need to repeat this course in winter, unfortunately he is not teaching it in the morning.

I took this course online. Because of my schedule, being able to take it online was very helpful. That being said, you must discipline yourself to complete all assignments/quizzes (through the textbook publisher's website). I didn't need to ask a single question. Class is laid out nice. No due dates - complete all work by end of quarter (I approve)

My favorite math teacher at BC! His way of teaching coupled with problems from his online handouts really helped me succeed in his class. His quizzes were challenging but if you listen to his lectures and study hard, you will do fine. He is willing to help you succeed and get a good grade as long as you try.

All assignments and quizzes are due on the last day of quarter but you are able to complete this online course in one or two weeks if you want. No Final Exam! He has a suggested weekly plan if you are not disciplined enough to be on your own. He is very prompt on responding to your questions through emails and always willing to help you succeed.

Excellent professor! He makes you work hard throughout the quarter but he rewards you with a good grade at the end. Haji is very organized and consistent! He knows his subject matter and he delivers it well. He makes everything so simple so you don’t need to read your book. I wish he was teaching pre-calculus class in winter, I would get another A!

One of the best teacher I've ever had. He explains everything clearly and answers all questions. I wish I could take another class with him. It wasn't easy but I studied and got an A in his class.

Haji is a very straight forward teacher and is funny at times. If you pay attention and attend class you will get a good grade.

Haji is great! His tests are not only the sections you just covered but also sections from prior tests, which always keeps the old stuff fresh in your mind. He's also very lenient if you mess up, and won't dock off so many points if you screw up on a lot of problems. Just show that you're trying to understand, and he'll reward you.

Haji is really silly. However, this was the first year I had a hard time in math. He teaches the concepts well, but the weekly quizzes have only 5-7 questions so it is VERY easy to lose points even though he gives partial credit. If you ask a question he may think you just weren't listening. I got a good grade, but half the class dropped out.

Haji is a reasonable teacher, I think. He helped me a lot outside the class whenever I needed. He is a hard teacher. I have been struggling with his class but at the end, he rewarded me with a decent grade, more than I had expected. Just listen to what he says (ignore a few) and you do fine.

Haji’s enthusiasm for math and his willingness to answer in details to students questions coupled with his spicy problems made his class challenging and enjoyable at the same time. Take his class if you are serious about learning math. He will reward you if you show him you are trying to learn.

Haji is an excellent instructor for those apt to self-study. Be prepared to work hard. His expectations are quite clear and well documented on his school website. His website is current and well planned. Many other math instructors are not nearly as organized as Haji. I was able to find my req'd materials for a different math class on his site.

Finally I am in a class with a teacher who is very passionate about math, amazing. He answers all questions and explains everything is details. He makes sure you get it before moving to a new topic. It seems he really wants his students to succeed.

If you need to take precalculus, take it with Haji. He makes hard topics easy to understand and explains everything CLEARLY. He really wants you to understand the concepts intuitively, not just to memorize the formulas. His tests are easy and grades fairly. If you want some sold math skills and good grade, I would recommend you to take his class.

Quiz every weeks, lots of extra points, open book final. Drop one or two lower score quiz. His lecture is very clear and it's the example for quiz. Do homework and listen to his lecture, you will do ok.

He has a very sarcastic manner about him and can become annoyed by "stupid" questions. He does teach the material in a clear way, but his personality can get in the way of your learning. Attendance is mandatory, and he expects you to be in class on time or you're considered late. He doesn't give homework, weekly quizzes, no mid-term.

He starts off really easy. I aced his first 3 quizes but suddenly in the middle of quarter, he decided to make his quizez incredibly hard. like unnecessary hard!!! but overall a fun instructor...

Haji is one of the last math teachers at BC who is truly passionate about teaching math. That being said he isn't a pushover. You have to work for your grade no matter what, but he does award people who stick out the class to the very end. If you come every day to class you will pass. The Math Lab was my second home this quarter.

The best teacher I ever had. He makes math very easy and fun. Just go to his class every day and write down and study whatever he emphasizes on and you get a good grade. If your test score is low, he gives you lots of extra credit to bring it up. Highly recommend him.

In the beginning of the year, I was a bit intimated to take Hajis class because of the mixed reviews. The first couple of weeks, I was too sure if I liked him. though finishing up the quarter now, I definitely can say I would take a class from him again. He really does care about the students learning, and he's also hilarious!

Awesome professor! A prof who actually cares about his students. Great at explaining things clearly and answering questions without being condescending. Wish I had more classes with him!

Mr Haji is gr8 !!!! take his class and listen to his lectures and youll get an easy A he gives pretty much lots of extra credits too

Take his class!!! His teaching methods were straight-forward. He explains concepts clearly, but does challenge you to think about problems. Go to his lectures. Five tests. Fair curve. Got a B+ over all, but I could've gotten an A if I'd put in the effort and attended regularly.

He is an awesome teacher! You just need to PAY ATTENTION in his class. He is really there for the students. Make sure to get a tutor if you aren't doing well after the first test. He is very helpful about that. No HW, but he gives practice problems and A LOTTTTT of Extra Credit.

Haji is very passionate about helping students learn and succeed. He explains things so well and presents the concepts in ways that make great sense. Show up to class, otherwise, you miss a lot, including his extra credit assignments. A good class if you plan on continuing in math.

Amazing teacher. He makes it very easy. Though I do not recommend it, I could skip about half the classes and still do fine. Easy extra credit assignments offered occasionally. Great sense of humor. I wish he would teach math 148. Probably the best math teacher at BC.

Professor Haji is my savior! He is the guy for you if you are a business major and math is not your thing! Took this class in winter with another Professor and failed it but the second time around with Professor Haji was amazing and I aced it! He gives out so many chances to boost your grade and test questions are exactly like his lecture examples.

Not sure why Haji has such a bad overall score on this. Come to class EVERY session, and take notes on EVERYTHING he says, & you will succeed on all the quizzes. Drops the lowest quiz score, and gives some EC, especially towards the end, but don't rely on that! Never used the textbook/mathlab even once . Quizzes based off notes combined that week.

Haji doesn't tolerate distractions, like looking at FB or texting during class. He expects professional behavior. He's too harsh for children, but adults looking to REALLY learn the material love him. He's funny too, loves teaching, and he's invested in his student's success. Haji is awesome!!! Textbook is used for practice, not mandatory.

the class was great. the way he spoke and explained everything was good. however, at the beginning, the quizzes were difficult and the grade was low. he gives extra credit only on the quizzes. there's no homework, so your only way to earn points is through the quizzes each week.

I lost interest in math during my high school years. However Mr. Haji reminded me how much fun & important math can be. Taking his class was the best decision I have made. He is an amazing teacher & I would definitely take him again. He cares about his students & wants you to genuinely be successful. Make sure you attend every day & you'll be fine.

He was an easygoing professor I've met. Sometimes, he got crazy about some students who didn't participate at all or didn't respect him. His lectures were easy to understand. He provided lots of extra credits. Anyway, if you attend his class and pay attention, you'll pass the class with a B at least.

Haji is very clear and straight forward about his requirements. He's willing to answer questions but its important in any science/math field to do your own leg work. He won't hold your hand. If you want to be successful with him, pay attention in class, take notes, and participate. It can be a fun class and he's funny too
