Javad is an incredible prof. His enthusiasm for what he teaches is contagious. He is always available for help, very approachable and concerned for the success of his students. His sense of humor is great to say the least. Definitely a prof to have. Highly recommend.

he is the best math teacher ever. he teaches his class in a great way that u never get bored. he is also really helpful, and is always available for extra help.

Javad knows how to have fun with (and make fun of) life; his teaching is proof of that. He is always available for out-of-class help, and he wants his students to succeed. Great prof!

JAVAD ROCKS!

AWESOME if you want to like math and get it go in this class

He is an inspiring prof. I love his constant references to God. He has renewed my love of pure Mathamatical Thought.

great teacher. interesting and funny. wants to help you, doesn't make you feel dumb for asking questions.!!!

Much better than Blair. He keeps the class interested, tells jokes. For all you will-be Javad students, write down his examples after he's done writing them. He often gets confused, but fixes it by blaming it on vodka (he actually fixes the problem too). Good prof, take him if you can. Him and the mic don't get along though. You'll see.

Javad was definately one of the best teachers I've ever had. I hate math but with him I got a "B" because he makes the class fun and he is so funny and very helpful when you go to his office. He is very consistent in the way he explains things, so it isn't confusing. I wish I could have him again!

Despite being a calculus class, Javad made it interesting enough to attend regularily. If you do all the homework and practise tests it's quite easy to get a high mark in this class.

Javad is one of the professors out there. If you get a chance to have a class with him, you will not be sorry. He is very entertaining (to say the least) and gets the material across effectively. Tests can be a little out there, sometimes.

he is great

Amazing prof!! Witty, intelligent, and engaging in class. He is so helpful in his office hours and in class. He is the best professor I have ever had (math or otherwise!)

If you know/like math then you will probably like him. If you're dense then you won't get his jokes or his teaching style and will probably to poorly in his class.

He is such an engaging prof, and he has a sense of humour that makes the class completely worth being in. He goes through an example from the text for every new topic in the notes and yes he makes a few errors but he loves engaging students to correct him. He is big on explaining the steps to questions too. Bottom line, hes my favourite for sure.

definitely increased my liking for the subject. i find myself paying attention in class not only because he can actually explain things but also because i don't want to miss one of his jokes. such a nice man and his review sessions are gold. cares about his students and knows his stuff. my favorite!!

Javad was such a genuinely nice professor. I was terrified to take this course, but it turned out to be all right because he really cares about how is students are doing and encourages questions and discussions. And he always admits it if he makes a mistake.

Very good professor. One of the best I've had. You can tell he genuinely wants students to do well. To do well in this class you have to do (and fully understand) all of the assigned homework, otherwise you're doomed. His tests and final were challenging but not unreasonable like other profs I've had before where they seem to enjoy stumping you.

Javad tries to guide the class to an intuitive understanding of the topic, really helps to foster interest. Computation and intuition emphasized over proofs and theorems, but, you know, it's still a math class.

Javad is a great math teacher. I've always hated math until his class. Although his writing and accent need getting used to, once that is overcome, the class is great. I know people from other math classes who sit in on Javad's lecture and are devastated that they did not get in his class. 3 hours is enough studying to get an "A" on a midterm.

He is a babe!

An engaging teacher, he taught slowly enough that it was easy to understand his subject if you didn't know it already. If you did then attending class was slightly pointless as few complicated examples were given. Tests and exams were easy.

He is a good guy. He like to tell jokes, and make the class less intense. He explained things in an easy-to-understand way. I enjoyed his class.

Javed is amazing! I absolutely loathe math, but he made it fun. His personality is hilarious and he's a very reasonable guy. His tests are fair and easy if you do the practice test and assigned problems. He's super helpful outside of class, so don't hesitate to go to him if you don't understand something. He is very knowledgable about the subject.

tests are so easy

He is so funny person and he makes all exam extreme easy. He will cover everything that will be on the test so it is a good idea to attend every class!

Javad is a great prof! He truly cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He is very helpful both inside and outside of class and he keeps his teaching simple and to the point. Javad definitely has his priorities in order. He made a subject that I generally detest into my favourite class ever!!

Javad is an amazing prof. For any student going into first year math, or calculus I, he can relate some concepts that could otherwise seem impossible to understand (like derivatives, limits, etc.). One of the best profs at UBCO.

Best teacher at the university!!!

very good. I can see he wants his students to have high marks

REALLY GOOD PROF super helpful, very understanding. His test are basically his practice test. Got a -A not that hard .

He is cares about his students a lot and if you go to him for help he will help you. Didn't attend many lectures because he is hard to understand but the notes he posts online are very good. He curves a lot of his tests and it was not too bad of a course if you took calculus in grade 12! He is really funny too

So freaking funny. If you've done Calc in high school I'd recommend going with Javad. He's a great prof and wants students to succeed.

He is very passionate and loves teaching. His lectures are enjoyable and as long as you pay attention he is not that difficult to understand, despite his accent. He posts his notes online, you just have to learn how to read his writing. He looks out for his students and does his best to make everyone succeed in his class.

Can be hard to understand because of his accent, but you get used to it quickly. Does tons of examples in class and uses humour to keep lectures interesting. Does his best to scale tests so that each student gets the best grade possible. Do your homework and an A should be no problem!

Javad is a great professor! although sometimes you do not understand few topics you can go to office hours and he is willing to help you even if you have a lot of questions. He also makes sure that you are gonna pass and by this it means that he cares about the level of difficulty of the questions he puts in MDT and Final. He understands students.

Your success is positively correlated with the amount you practice. Don't skip classes, you'll fall behind. Even if you practice for 15 min a day, you won't fall behind. 1 assignment a week, and they're fair fair fair. Midterms and final too. Plus he's willing to spend lots of time with you. Good luck.

He is the the funniest little man in the world, the SL is very important because you can't really understand him that much but he cares about his students a lot and is very funny.

Javad is seriously one of the most caring people I have ever met. He is super nice and cares a lot about his students! His accent and writing is hard to understand at first. Midterms and final were all fair and reflected the pretests.

Full marks for mid term and final.

Javad is a very sweet, funny man. To do well in his course, attend the lectures because he doesn't post much online, but his lectures are always fun. He keeps the class engaged with jokes and funny comments. Sometimes it can be hard to read his writing, but he really cares about his students, and encourages people to come to his office hours.

While his lecture examples are not very helpful, the labs and assignments will prepare you for the midterms. His practice midterms were very helpful when doing exams and his lectures are super entertaining. Very easy if you have prior knowledge of Calculus. However, if you do not, be prepared to do some extra work outside of class assignments.

Javad is super nice and very approachable. Out of the first-year math profs, he's definitely on the better side. For someone who struggles in math he made it passable.

Javad makes calculus fun and interesting. He cares about his students and want them to succeed. He also marks generously. One of my favourite professors for sure.

Professor Javad at UBCO is often unfairly criticized by students due to his accent and hearing impairment. However, he makes up for this by being a passionate and caring teacher. Students can easily excel in his class by dedicating just 1-2 hours a week to watching videos and practicing questions. With this effort, an A grade is easily attainable.

The best prof I had from 2023W. Hard to understand him at first(accent and writing), but you will get used to it. Caring prof and out of all the MATH100 profs from 2023W, he was the best/easiest. Take him for MATH101 also if you want a good grade. Don't take advantage of him being such a good prof, by talking loudly in his lectures. Watch The OCT.

Hilarious prof w/ a clear passion for teaching.

Javad's classes are always fun, he tries his best to make the class engaging. The course is difficult in its nature but his tests are not too challenging and he doesn't create tough examples in class.
