He can be hard to understand because of his accent.

Has a tendency to drone, but seems to know what he's talking about at least.

Great teacher. I can't even tell you how helpful he is!

A lot of people found him boring since he tends to drone on a lot, but I liked him. His tests are pretty easy, and he gives many extra credit assignments. His accent isn't hard to understand. Oh, he also dislikes tardies and people who leave early. He's a good, nice professor.

very knowledgable....tests are multiple choice and are exact questions from review...only 3 test grades, one paper, and a final....

Easy course. The reviews are just like the exams, so study them really good!

Loved the course. We had tons of discussion in class. His tests aren't too difficult. *Hint* pay attention to current events.

The tests are real easy. As long as you study the review, you should at least get a "B" on the tests

Prof Madani is good at lecturing, but they're a bit dry, or maybe it was the 7am class time. He gives great test reviews, and as long as you do those you should be able to pass the course. Not a lot of classroom discussion for us, but like I said, 7am classes do that.

Dr. Madani is a Govt. freak. He knows every little bitty detail about the US Govt like how it's organized and also he's really keen in everyday issues. He gives around 4 to 5 extra credits per exam and he got 3 exams thru out the semester. He gives review for each exam and if you nail down the review, you can easily make an A.I made an A as well

Professor Madani is a AWESOME Teacher!!! I can't stress how IMPORTANT it is to STUDY HIS TEST REVIEWS!!!!!! The test will be a breeze if you just do this!!! He gives plenty of fun extra credit assignments. Do a couple of them. I promise you'll enjoy them.

He was really nice and sometimes not easy to understand, but if you go to his class it starts to sound normal. All you have to do is just make sure you come to class, take notes if you want to, but most importantly.. make sure you do the reviews because they are the ones on the test!!! The tests are just like the reviews!!!

Ithought it would be easy, but instead it was hell

come to class, take notes, pay attention and ask questions during the review, and an A is guaranteed

I really enjoyed his class, it's amazing how he remembers so much!He does give reviews for test and he also gives many extra credit opportunities. He does everything in his power to help you better understand the information. His accent is NOT hard at all to understand.

He was a pretty good teacher. Take lots of notes and try not to miss any class. He also doesn't like it when you are late even a few minutes. I would take a class with him again

He was awsome! He always gives review questions and is very helpful. If you work hard you are sure to pass. Caution; be sure to keep up with current events!

Some Americans think they do not understand what he says because he's from Afghanistan. I am Italian and I understood every single word he said, which makes me doubt about the Americans' opinion. He explains each point of his lecture clearly. The only my concern was the current event quiz for which you are supposed to know everything that happens.

I never bought the book and the teacher hated it too. Grades are quizzes and test. The test review which he gives you the answers to IS the test just memorize and you are good to go! The tests are multiple choice and True/False. He is a cool guy and I would recommend taking him its easy and you'll learn a lot too. His accent did not bother me.

This guy is pretty nice. His class is pretty easy, but he doesn't speak English very well. Overall his class is easy he gives exam reviews and they have the same questions on the test. I didn't read the book because he gives you all the answers.

I took this class during a 4 week summer session and it was very challenging. He is clear and gives you plenty of lecture to take notes on but it is A LOT of information to take in for a short class. His tests consist of 5 terms and 2 essay questions. Not a class for memoriztion, be prepared to understand concepts and history of US.

a very good teacher. Know all of his information. well organized with topics. very excited about teaching

I've had mr. Madani twice and each time he was great. He isnt that hard, you just have to make sure that you memorize your reviews because those are the tests. I think there are 3 tests and during election years there are also 3 current events quizzes. But dont sweat he'll will help you get all the answers before and he is always giving extra credi

If you go to class then its an easy 100 i took him during the 8 weeks course and it wasnt to bad. We had to sit for 3 hours but he would give us breaks in between and we will watch videos and do out side researches also. He could teach reagular classes different but the 8 week course was fine.

Go to class and LISTEN then its an easy A

This is the second time I've taken Madani. All of his tests have reviews. He gives out papers to do that are an easy hundred. The notes are crystal clear,his teaching method is more than effective and he's incredibly helpful should you have questions. This man knows government inside and out.

EVERY GOOD TEACHER, KNOWS HIS STUFF. CAN BE A BIT BORING IF YOUR TAKING THE 8 WEEKS COURSE. HE IS VERY GOOD AT EXPLAINING THINGS AND WILL HELP YOU IF YOU NEED IT. YOU DO HOW EVER HAVE TO BE IN CLASS FOR 3 HOURS AND STAY THE WHOLE TIME, IN ORDER TO GET EXTRA CREDIT AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. HIS TEST ARE STRAIGHT OUTOF THE NOTES SO KNOW YOUR NOTES.

madani is awesome. his class was super easy, tests were EXACTLY like the review. you really dont need a book bc he reads you the answers so you can study them so SHOW UP to class. extra credit available :) yay mr madani!

prof madani is awesome. his class was super easy and you actually learn something. his tests are exactly like the reviwes! just show up to class and he'll give you the answers to every question. all you do is study! make sure you do the current event reviews, the quizzes over those are kinda tough. great class tho! :)

Hey, it's Gov't. Come on, it's easy stuff. He is a good prof, and has some half decent lectures. Just go in and get your A, if you can't pass this guys class go back to BK or McD's.

He is the best gov't teacher that God gave to this earth. You have to do is come to class and listen. he lectures and gives a review and a test. and news currents. EASY EASY EASY. he is very willing to help his students. he is one of the good ones.

Profesor Madani requires that you be on time for class. Study from the test questions and you will get an A for sure. Easy class.

i hate government and i am no good at it but madani was great :] no homework, just tests which he gives you an identical review for. ADVICE: do the newscurrents and do the reviews and you will ace it

Dr.Mdani is the easiest gov Professor [email protected] will learn a lot from him b/c he?s very knowledgeable u?ll see that when u take his class. The exams r exactly like the reviews he provides& provides lots of extra credit.Be aware of the current event assignment do?m ahead of time u will be quizzed over?m.BE IN CLASS ON TIME THAT'S WHAT HE EXPECTS!!

Awesome and super easy. Just show up on the day before the test and he'll give you the answers.

He is a fair, knowledgeable professor. All you have to do is attend lectures & listen to him then study the review and an A is guaranteed. Some students complain because he expects them to know what he talked about the previous lecture, or because he caught them asleep or texting. Honestly, He is one of the best teachers and getting an A is easy

Dr. Madani rocks. Students who complain from him are the ones who fall asleep in the class, the ones who never know what is happening in the class or what is the chapter we are tacking about or they ones who want a free grades. He is one of the best teachers, his exams are all from the reviews. Getting an A in this class is a piece of cake

The only way to flunk this class is to either be mentally retarded or be super lazy, the man gives the exam review and all the question in the exam are from the review. All he expect from you is to know what he talked about in previous sessions. Also do your project. I wish if he would teach more classes. One can get A+s easy. He's awesome

He's a nice teacher and willing to help his students. Attend class, do your work and you'll be fine. This isn't high school, so expect to study. Also if you have 3 absences AFTER the second test you would not get the review so that's nothing to worry about. You can tell he loves his job. I recommend him to anybody.

Dr Madani Rocks! He is the Afghan Sean Connery. I had a great time in his class and I learned. Make sure that you attend class or it will cost you in the long run. Gives review for tests as long as your attendance is good. I would absolutely take another class from him.

There is nothing bad to say about Dr. Madani, he is an awesome professor. He is a very smart man that knows his material well. I really don?t understand the bad comment below; I guess they never showed up to class to know how easy it is when you actually study and show up to class. All you have to do is show up to class, study the material, and you

madani is by far one of the best profs at tcc! If you attend class daily and take notes.. you will ace your test. His tests are 100 questions, but he goes over the review sheet. take him, as he is very knowledgeable and intersting

Dr. Madani is passionate about what he teaches and is clear on what he expects. He is not hard but you do have to study to earn the grade you want. My favorite thing about him is his excitment that you can see in his eyes when he teaches, i would def recommend him! ignore the comments about the "accent" b/c he honestly doesn't have one at all!

Dr.Madani is a great professor. As long as you go to class, take notes, and study for exams you will get an A+. He is great easy class as long as you do what you're told

Dr.Madani is a Great professor. He is very firm with not disturbing his class and being in attendance. He will not hesitate to call you out on anything so beware. He's a cool dude tho. Just be there and study the review really good and you will do awesome!

Dr. Madani is nice and very knowledgeable. But his class is getting harder by the day.First the questions in the exam have nothing to do with the review so no matter how much you studied the review you can hardly make a B. Second: He is giving us way too many current events which are very hard and simply overwhelm us.

Mr. Madani. Please enough with the current events stuff. It is getting to be too much!

His tests are easy as pie. but the final is really hard. its the most boring class vie ever had but it was the easiest. I now have to retake the course now because i failed the final. good luck

Professor Madani is a very respectable man who expects his students to act as adults as we all should. He is very passionate about what he teaches, and is very knowledgeable in this subject. There are no assignments, just 4 tests including the final and some extra credit. I would recommend him to mature students! He's a wonderful teacher!

He is kind of strict but nice if you pay attention. He is very smart and knows tons! the thing is that Mr. Madani is VERY boring and it is EXTREMELY hard to pay attention because he makes it not fun

Amazing professor. He does not like students to be late to class which is very understandable he says it is rude and disrespectful, which I totally agree. You can easily make an A in his class if your not late or absent, he will give you a review that would guarrantee you to ace your test (if you do the review) I enjoy his class very much!! A++++

This professor is extremely boring, his tests are really hard, and he gives no review. He found something on line and said we could use that for our review. NO ONE passed his first exam until he gave everyone a huge point curve. Haven't finished this class but hopefully it gets better than this.

He is alright!!!!

I am taking his wintermester class, so far he has been really NICE and everything can be done in a group... tests and projects. As long as you attend class and show up on time and stay the whole class you can work with your group of 4 people. He is very knowledgable, has given us lots of review and answers to the test. He is a great professor!!!!

He is an easy teacher! I do not know why people say that he has an accent because I do not notice it at all. Just come to class and do the review for his test.

His class is easy, he gives review questions before each test. study the review you will pass the test. Just be on time

I am still in his class but so far I think he is a very nice, imnformative professor. The only complaint that I would have is that some of the material on the test reviews he never covered in class. But ALL answers on the reviews are in the textbook. So defntaly get the textbook.Great teacher though.

Prof. Madani is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met. He likes it when your interested, genuinely that is. Try to be passionate about the topics don't be a Shrek. If you visit him in his office he is willing to talk and explain personally. Review his questions before the exam and you'll be good.

Easiest teacher ever. Come to class you'll get an A. He tells u everything for the test. Gives a study guide which is the basically test & will answer the questions in class if you ask. Sweet man who is funny but lectures boring. Took him for 2305 & 2306

Dr. Hamed is an outstanding professor that actually cares to teach and deliver a great lecture . It’s a shame to claim that he’s got a thick accent when he doesn’t! I was late to his class before, and yes he hates it and speaks out his opinion of late comers. Being on time is the least respect that we the students should give in return!

Taken him before for Federal govt and he is a great teacher. Makes understanding easy

Review = Exam no notes needed. He'll call on you for answers during lectures though but it doesn't matter, he'll just talk down on you.Sit away from where he likes to stand, like away from the podium (for me). 3 Absences = drop. He can be mean if you're late/don't pay attention. My advice don't get him in the morning. That class was zZzZzZz for me.

I think he is a great teacher! Knowledgeable and helpful if you have any questions. I don't think he is mean. He is just strict about being on time and cellphone use during class. He is just looking out for the students who are on time and in class ready to learn. He gives a review before each exam

He is the best! He lectures with well organized power points which he posts online. No homework or in class assignments, 4 exams that make your total grade

I actually enjoyed this class. Attendance is a must, he will actually raise your final grade if you have had good attendance!Do not buy the textbook! It's not worth it! The reviews are exactly like the test, though he adds in 5-10 of his own questions. I didn't pay a ton on attention but I still got an A!

Overall he was ok but his lectures go on and on when asked a specific question about the test, make sure you go over the review questions and power points before each test.

Man his class is super freaking easy! However, his lectures are extremely boring and he loves to talk about his native country afghanistan. I never took notes in his class. His tests are EXACTLY like his review, in the EXACT same order. Im also taking him for GOV 2306 and its the same thing. Take his class if you want an easy A. Super easy class.

Very easy professor, just show up to class. Only time you should be really paying attention is when he hands out reviews because theyre exactly like the tests. His lectures are literally lectures, I found that taking notes throughout his lectures was useless.

I was dreading a government class but his lectures made it interesting. He responds to email and seems to appreciate answering questions in his office hours. I really enjoyed his class.

This professor's teaching method is straightforward. He expects you to attend, pay attention, and respect the work he puts in class. No textbook. Review is almost like the test. Some questions come from his lectures. He wants the best for his students, and he'll call you out if he catches you daydreaming. If you answer right, he will respect you

Show up to class (on time!!), pay attention, dostudy reviews and you will be fine. Be warned if you do not show up on time or skip class YOU WILL NOT PASS!! He takes attendance, tardiness, and cellphone rules seriously. No book is needed he provides PowerPoint presentations. Great Professor!! Definitely Recommend!!

I wish he taught more than one Texas government class next semester, he's an OUTSTANDING PROFESSOR! He is so knowledgable about politics and the government I was always amazed by his lectures by what I learned, he's super nice as well. Take him! Study the reviews a week in advance since there's only four tests for the whole semester.

Great teacher. As long as you listen in class and take notes, you'll pass with an easy A. He also gives extra credits opportunities of your choice if you ever need so.

Test is same as review but the test wording can be confusing, no need to take notes, it's useless. Just study the review and ask question for answer. I took it got maymester and was still able to pass with an A. Not a pass over class, actual studying for this class. His teaching is very long and boring.

I absolutely loved Dr. Madani's class. He's sweet, funny, and offers extra credit! His lectures entertaining and a pleasure to attend.

He's a stickler for attendance and punctuality. Understandable, however he gets this across in... perhaps not the best way. While he seems well-meaning, I, like another reviewer, found his comments implying that TCC students are "less-than" students at higher priced colleges, offensive. While he has an accent, he's not difficult to understand.

Took Madani for 2306 and then took him in a wintermester for 2305. He's the type of teacher who expects you to show up every day ready to go. If you got questions, he's got answers. The test is exactly like the review that he gives, stick to the review and watch his tricky test questions and you'll more than likely make a good grade.

As long as you go to class and pay attention/take notes this is a great class to take. What I appreciate the most about Prof Madani is that he puts out the exam study guide in the middle of the unit. This allows you to focus on what will be on the exam during his long lectures. He's a slow speaker and has a bit of an accent but he's very clear.

Dr. Madani is clear about course expectations. Simple, show up, follow slides, take notes & you will do well. He respects his students & expects his students to respect his lecture & other learners by showing up on time & not leaving early. Not a lot of homework. If you want to learn & are responsible, this is the course for you.

Prof Madani has a bit of an accent but he's very clear as long as you are there in class, pay/take good notes, study his power points, do his study guide and do extra credit you can make an awesome grade. Yes, long lectures but not boring, your homework would mainly be reading which helps you complete the study guide. Yes, I would take him again.

He wants you to write down notes while he's teaching, but I personally just brought the review questions to class and wrote down the answers to whatever came up. Very easy class to get a B or greater in. No book required and your whole grade comes from the tests.

Madani's lectures can get pretty lengthy, but I usually work on his projects or do the reviews (which are exactly like the tests). He is strict on phones and sleeping during class but only because he finds it rude. I use my laptop almost every day in class and he doesn't mind. You'll have 3 tests, 1 final, 1 group project, and 1 individual project.

I liked him. A nice guy who enjoys and is knowledgeable about the subject. He's easy going and laid back. 3 test (that includes the final) & 1 group project. I decided to do the project by myself, he doesn't mind. Lots of opportunities to get extra credit.

a very amazing and caring teacher. he understands your situation and tries to give you extra credit so you can pass.

Professor Madani is a good teacher, he doesn't require a textbook for 2306, instead uses an online source and his own powerpoints. Pay attention to the lectures and you'll do fine. Professor Madani doesn't intentionally try to make US Government difficult. No papers, no homework beyond the assigned reading.

Mr. Madani is not going to keep you awake. By making you laugh or doing some crazy stunts. He lectures and takes question & that is it. With that being said. He class is easy if you show up, do the reviews, and pay attention. He offers a lot of extra credit, and WILL ALWAYS HELP YOU OUT.

He doesn't give out reviews anymore and that makes the class really tough because there are a BUNCH of slides on the powerpoint... too much information.

For my class he was really nice and I learned a lot in his, he doesn't really have a thick accent idk why everyone thinks so and he did give us a review by giving us the exam questions and answers orally before the exam which really helped. I do recommend him for govt classes because he gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

He says to buy the book but I didn't use it most of the time. Most of the answers on quizes he will give in class, you can even ask him & he will tell you the answers. 2/4 exams I found online too! He likes when people participate. His accent isn't that bad either. Don't skip class!!! Extra credit is only for the beginning of the semester btw

I took him for summer 2. Super cool guy, reviews are identical to the exam. Lectures on PowerPoints. You dont really need the book unless you want just extra help, I rented out the old version and was fine.

He does not speak clear English and most of the time hes mumbling instead of speaking louder and more clear for the whole classroom , he even insults or talks negatively about his students once they leave the room but once they return he gets silent .. which is very unprofessional and displeasing I will never recommend him honestly , sorry .

He only has 4 tests throughout the semester so make sure you do good on those. He gives you a review for every test. Make sure you write everything down from his power-points or you will get lost.

Its simple if you study good youll get an A. I took his class and Id study our test review only the night before for about an hour and a half and would still get an A on the test . Beyond easy if you just study ! Great teacher , really knows what hes talking about and you can tell he enjoys teaching , would definitely take his class again!!

He lets you use notes for test and only 4 test and 4 discussions

Professor Madani is a very kind teacher. Although the classes felt lengthy I never doubted if I had enough information or was underprepared for an exam. Professor Madani only gave 4 exams and 4 discussion boards. This was honestly one of my all-time favorite classes.I took him for both federal and texas governments and loved it. I 100% recommend

Hes a very great professor!!! i recommend

Very lecture heavy, but if engaged and prepare the review questions ahead of time than tests are easier in my opinion. I have taken him for both 2305 and 2306, very nice and seems to be extremely passionate about teaching.

Best Professor Ever. Take if you want a high grade.

Sometimes funny with what he said or his stories. He spends the class before test to go over any review questions and the test is like the review but worded differently. Is strict about phones being used. Lectures a lot and if there's a video then pay attention because he likes to call people to answer questions to make sure you're listening.

He reads off the slideshows and provides lots of anecdotal lectures. Very interesting guy, and the class is more interesting when you participate. Theres 4 discussion posts and 4 tests. He provides the test questions, so you can make study guides. He allows cheat sheets!! Very obviously 'politically biased' , but hes not annoying about it.
