He's very helpful on h/w during office hrs, but he's a stickler for due date/times. Won't cut slack on h/w to students who add late, nor for illness, & will actually refuse to grade excusably late h/w, which can affect your grade. Grades the final a lot harder than the midterms, so almost everyone lowered their overall course grade.

Such a great professor. He's a great lecturer and the classes even tend to go by. He's the only teacher I have that gives in-class breaks too, which help incredibly. He does a lot of group work with almost bi-weekly engineering projects covering the material we just made. Some projects are cool, others ain't. But he always provides help for them!

He is a great professor and he explains very well the concepts. My algebra wasn't the best when I started the course and I was struggling with calculus. Fortunately with his help I was able to improve on my basic algebra and then the materials became much more clear. Try to review your algebra before you take calculus as you will use it A LOT.

Make sure to understand algebra fully, great person, however, class is tough, very fast paced compared to other MATH150A classes. Overall great Professor, just a bit of a rough class.

Overall, he's an OK professor but his tests are nothing like the study guides he gives out for extra credit. He can also be condescending to his students, which I did not appreciate. If you take this class, get ready to dedicate a huge amount of time to it because it's a bumpy ride. A semester-long group project is also assigned.

This was the first math class I've ever got an A and thats saying a lot since I've taken too many. His classes are planned out very heavily. He posts lectures online and goes over the next lecture in class.. but he sometimes is forgiving a goes over the lecture he posts online too which is amazing. Overall good class and prof.

This class is one of the harder classes to take and he does this thing called flipped class which makes us watch his video of teaching easy example for 2 hours and spending the class time going throguh 4-5 easy question and test on harder question in the Exam. One of the worst classes I have had and it feels like I wasted my time in this class.

Relies on webassign so you need to pay a good amount just to do your homework. Professor uploads videos that are required to be watched before class which that are long and not very helpful. Be prepared to do a lot of homework and watch supplemental videos on whatever topic he covers for the week as his videos and lessons very often are confusing.

This class was flipped, where he would mostly rely on his extremely long prerecorded lectures (which were also not helpful). There was a lot of homework and a semester long group project. His exams were nothing like the homework problems and are significantly harder. Take another professor/class if you need to take this class for credit.

I'm not sure if he had an off semester or something but his class felt like a nightmare. At the beginning of the semester, he told us that as long as we did good on the quizzes then we'd do good on the tests as well. But it felt like such an insane jump in difficulty compared to the quizzes. He does teach well but still test practice a lot at home.

Some homework, few midterms and online quizzes, final, and one group project. Amazing professor, he's really good with his explanations and answering questions. He's super nice and helpful, but does get disappointed with less responsive classes. Only downsides are group project and flipped lectures, but he still reviews material in class.

Professor Yousefi is a great professor for Calculus and he is clear with his teaching and lectures. The way he teaches the course is through having a flipped classroom (Fall 2023). He answers any questions you have about the homework and solves the problem step by step. Overall he is a great professor and his reviews are similar to the tests.

Even though I've had trouble before, I got my first A in a math class. He plans everything carefully and explains the topics well in class. His lecture videos are awesome. His tests are very similar to the review problems. As a tip, review your basic algebra before taking calculus. Overall he is an amazing teacher, plain and simple.

You don't need to buy the book, just the code for webassign which has an online version of the book but even then you don't use it. You just need to take notes on the lectures and UNDERSTAND how to do the hw especially the review problems for the exams because those are basically the test questions.

I took Calc 1 at Fullerton College with this prof. He did a decent job lecturing but skipped over some important stuff we didn't have time to cover and you still have to practice the material. He makes you buy the textbook to access the homework, which isn't long. The exams were also reasonable, and the class was manageable overall.

Professor Yousefi is very lecture heavy, but also expects you to watch his 1 hour long Canvas lectures prior to every class. His homework assignments are done on a paid online website ($120 I believe) and he requires uploaded photos of the work shown for the homework. Does not teach much, only does practice problems. I dropped the class.

Very knowledgeable and able to teach in a way that you understand. Answers any question. Make sure that you work on the review problems to be ready for his tests. I'm expecting to get at least an A- in this course.

Make sure to review basic algebra before taking this course, as you'll be using it a lot. His exam review questions are extremely helpful, be sure you fully understand them before each test. In my opinion, he's one of the best professors out there!

He is nice and cares a lot. Tests are worth a lot. Lots of group HW. Content is so interesting, but the way it was presented was boring: he just reads lecture notes which you are provided previously; this makes going class (especially at 8 AM) unmotivating
