AWESOME TEACHER, Lets you know EXACTLY what is expected. Very patient
this guy can really teach. he's very helpful and informative. he makes sure you understands any problems and he doesnt make you feel like your stupid. he doesnt get mad, he's very patient with you and he actually wants you to pass math and move on
This has got to be the best teacher on campus. I will definitely take his 71 class. The other ratings stole the words right out of my mouth. Fabulous teacher! Recommended class for anyone who hates math or hasn't taken math in a long time.
a nice, easy-going teacher. tests and quizzes are straight forward but during lectures he generally doesn't elaborate-leaving you to teach yourself most of the time.
Halarious.
He's a great teacher. He's nice and funny. He tells you exactly what's gonna be on the test, which is great. Also, if your class bugs him enough you might get him to give you an extra credit quiz or extra credic ques. on a test. These can be VERY helpful.
Good teacher!! Didn't pass his class yet but still would take him. All the infos about him are true above me. Will take him again in my next math class if he'll teach 71.
Very helpful! he is such a cool professor. He is really funny. And he wants everyone to learn in his class. He is awesome!
Great teacher! He tries to make math as painless as possible! Study his quiz and test reviews with a good effort and you will be fine. He does his best to help you to pass the class. He is also very friendly and approachable for help.By far the best Math professor at Mt. Sac. Great guy!
awsome teacher he thinks he is funny and that makes him funny. he gives you awsome reviews if you do them you will excell in this class, he is very clear, friendly and intelligent. He was such a good teacher that i took a friday class just to take him for 71. the BEST math teacher
he is a great teacher.... he explains everything in detail and is really fair in grading
He's helpful and very approachable. He tries to make math as easy as possible.
I hate math. I have dropped so many classes before I took Mr. Kambiz. He is EXCELLENT and so NICE.
I agree with everyone's rating Mr. Kambiz is the best teacher i could have ever taken he made me understand math in a way i thought i never could. And I hate math but then again who doesn't. Take this teacher if and when you can i already recommend him to everyone else. :)
Extraordinary Excellent Teacher. Vey helping, encouraging hard working.
I hated math and when I took his class I understood everything and even got an A! He is so helpful and patient!
Some mught find this irritating but I really liked how he taught us like if we were 2 years old. I have an extreme difficult time in math and he really took his time to help me learn the way to pass the class.
I agree with everyone's rating Mr. Kambiz is the best teacher I have ever taken.He is really the best teacher,helpful and very nice.Actually,you won't have any problem with his tests and final exam since he will advise some important problems.JUST TAKE HIS CLASS AND GET YOUR BEST SCORE IN MATH.
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!! PERIOD!! =D
He is really helpful. His lecture is clear and he always give a lot of examples that easy to understand. Recommended!
THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!HE WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THOROUGHLY AND IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP YOU OUT; I'M SO CONVINCED THAT HE WANTS EVERYONE IN HIS CLASS TO GET AN A!I WISH ALL TEACHERS CARED AS MUCH ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS AS HE CARES FOR HIS....YOU MUST TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO LEARN AND ENJOY MATH, SERIOUSLY!
He is the best teacher I've ever taken in this college.If you do the HW,you won't have any problem with quizes,tests and final exam.Just do the homwork and get your best grad in math.He is nice too because you can ask him your questions in his office hours.take his class.
Highly recommended for math 130.Actually he knows how to teach and transfer main points to his students.You will have about 4 tests,4 quizes and final exam ,also he will give you 25 to 35 extra credit.Take math 130 and enjoy it.
This guy is cool. he gives the class good notes and he will help you out if you need it. he is pretty easy. i recommend this teacher
He is a great teacher! Helps you out until you understand the material. The course usually consists of 4 quizzes, 4 tests, a final, and homework packets that you turn in the day of a test. He gets along with all his students, and has a great method of teaching.. I really can't think of anything negative to say about him. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
He is good,his notes easy to understand,tests & quizes same as homework that he gives you,he has extra credit almost end of semester.I feel like he is my brother,return work on time,review before quizes and tests very carefully.His class always full, so hurry.He really wonderful,just do homework and listen carefully before tests or quizes, you will
Kambiz is awesome! He is very thorough in his lectures and won't get irritated if you ask questions like other professors do. Test questions come from the homework. Highly recommended!
He is good professor and very thoughful,his test and quiz most in the homework, easy to understand,he even prepare & spend (coppies)for his students.He loves his job,not only for the money you can see,and very care for student(If holiday time)he knows so he will give test and quizes not so close to after the holiday so you can breath,take his class
He is good and nice men.His quizes and testes are similar like the homework.I agree with their common.YOU SHOULD TAKE HIS CLASS.
He knows how to teach and very clear in his lesson, also very fair,as soon as he can see you are trying, he will give you a chance.So YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS because I knew math is one of the subject that most students are struggle.(Honestly)
he is the best math teacher that i ever had and one of the best professor im college.at the end i stronglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy recommend his class and have really fun:)
he is a good looking man. he likes to smile a lot. not very clear with though exams. however, he is very nice and polite. I like his personalities. take him and study hard because his exams are kind of tough.
Prof. Khoddam is a brilliant teacher. He helps you until you are comfortable with the material and honestly wants to see you succeed. He is always in a happy mood and it makes the class very lax. I wish he could teach every class of mine until I was done with school.. One of the best professors I have ever had. I really can't say enough about him.
I've always been horrible in Math classes and I didn't do any better in his. A "C." He would tend to talk down to the students that would try and answer his questions, but I think it was just his sense of humor not coming across quite right. He did answer questions but would be condescending, so it put off a lot of people from asking for help.
He is a very helpful professor; maybe u can even say he is one of the best math prof in MTSAC. You just need to do the HW and you'll be fine. He explains everything you need to know. His exams are not easy but everything comes form HW. Good Luck!
He is alright, he is kind of hard if you don't like math. His test are hard and he doesn't provide a study guide. He expected you to know the stuff when it comes to a test. He won't go over and review for a test, he assume you know it all.
I wouldn't recommend him at all!!!!
I have no idea what are you guyz taking about. U guyz are taking Math51 and still complaining of ur teacher. that's very funny. I think his tests are hard because Math 180 is kind of difficult;however, doesn't mean he is not a good teacher. kambiz explains everything as clear as possible and help u out in his office hours. I have a 95% in my class
Kambiz is the tightest math professor ever. He is pure comedy and very passionate about what he teaches. If you pay attention and do the homework the tests are no problem.
Wouldn't recommend him at all!!!!sucks
He is good!Tests are similar to homeworks.Math is hard anyway, and do not expect it too easy. He is an easy professor comparing to another one. You should responsible for your STUDY and do not BLAIM on him, because you are totally WRONG
He was the best math professor I've ever seen in my life. calculus is not easy, but he made every topic as clear as possible to understand. he never gave us any study guide or hot sheets but gave us about 35 Pts extra credit that saved a lot of students from failure. I got an A in his class hands down. Highly recommended! you will learn a lot and a
he is such a great prof. He is HILARIOUS. The tests are exactly like the hw and if you dont understand something he will explain it over ond over until everyone understands. I hate math and he made it pretty interesting-or at least bearable.
I Have no idea what people are saying in their comments...like the easiest professor..well here what it is..he is easy gives you extra credit BUT you will not be ready for MATH181 ..he has a very good personality butit isn't really helpful if your looking to pass Math 181 next semester dont take him.
He is nice, explains everything. Tests and quizzes are straight from homework, if you do not understand should come to his office, he explains everything. Math is difficult anyway, do not expect easy as elementary school impossible. Especially, math in college<>
If you suck at math, do not take him. He's kind of hard because his tests have like 10 problems only and obviously they're worth 10 pts each...so if you mess up one, you're screwed, haha. He's really nice, funny AND helpful. He explains things clearly if you don't understand. I liked him a lot. I would take him again if it weren't for his hard test
His class was somewhat easy for those who like to read book and understand it. He is not that much clear but if you read the book you will be fine. His exams are very similar to homeworks and what he covers in the class. he also gives good amount of extra credit. as I said, he is not a great teacher, but he explains.
Prof. Khoddam is one of my favorite professors of all time. His notes are precise and he even tells you what's going to be on the quizzes and tests. He gives PLENTY of extra credit and even though you might of pass the deadline, he still will take it and give you full credit if you get everything correct. His accent is a bit thick though.
He is nice, but the class is hard than wht I thought. I don't quite like the way he teaches. He spends most of time on proving formulars instead of doing examples. I don't care how the formular comes from. Whatever, the teacher is sweet and kind, but just please do some more examples.
Khoddam is great. He always comes to class ready to teach, has a great sense of humor, and explains things til you get it. For the majority of us, math isnt easy. Khoddam however does his best to make it more bareable. Hes not strict on having the book but all your homework comes from it so you have to go to the MARC alot! I never bought the book!
This dude is THE greatest. He is very personable, hilarious and really does care about his students. If you hate math, take it with him, he'll actually make you like it.
I loved his class and I wish he taught 181. He makes math so much easier to understand and if you don't understand it, he'll find other ways for you to approach the problems. He's always in his office so you can always ask him questions. The only tough part are the maple assignments, so make sure you know how to do that.
Kambiz is the the best professor I've ever had in Math. I went from having little interest in Math, to making it a priority because of him. He's inspired me because he's alleviated the stresses of the course with his petty jokes. He's great, you have to take him because its "renky denky"..
he's always willing to help nd listens to his students!! quizzes nd tests are easy cuz they're all similar to the hw.. he gives extra credits too, but actually u dun need them cuz u will definitely do well as long as u do all the hw!
He is a really good comical teacher. He helps very much and answers all question that are needed he will sit there on a problem and really really wantyou to know what hes speaking about.hes GREAT!
HE'S AN EXCELLENT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO A PROBLEM. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..GIVES NOTES AND IS EASY GOING.. VERY COMICAL AND PRACTICAL ANYONE CAN PASS HIS CLASS...
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVERY TAKEN! GOES THROUGH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND IS WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU BEFORE AND AFTER CLASS. EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND I THOUGHT PRETTY FUNNY. HE MAKES MATH FUN, AS HARD AS THAT IS TO BELIEVE. ENJOYED HIS CLASS. WOULD ABSOLUTELY TAKE ANOTHER MATH CLASS WITH HIM! OFFERS LOTS OF EC JUST ATTEND THE MARC LAB
he is a really good teacher.... is really easy..
Prof. Khoddam is an excellent professor. He really goes out of his way to help students in class. He's funny too! He answers all questions and is very encouraging. He assigns some homework but not too much. If you do your homework, go to every class, ask him questions during office hours, you will do well!
the best! he really wants you to do well and helps you out if your grade is borderline. take himmmm
I highly recommend this teacher if Math is a struggle for you. You will learn from him . HW, Quizzes, Test are fair. He is HILAIRIOUS !! ! (Coming attractions people lol)
Really nice and funny professor, but does not lecture very well. He makes up for this by offering lots of extra credit. The tests have problems straight from the homework. Had him for a friday morning class and he really kept the class awake and entertained by his silly phrases.
HE IS VERY HELPFUL, HE ENCOURAGES YOU AND GOES TO HELP PEOPLE ONE BY ONE, WHICH AT TIMES COULD BE SLOW, BUT IT'S GOOD, ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT IF YOU DONT SHOW UP, YOU BETTER KNOW YOUR STUFF OR YOU'LL MIGHT FAIL IT, TEST N QUIZES ARE GOOD, WE GO OVER BEFORE THEM, SOMETIMES HE PUTS SAME PROBLEMS OR SWITCHES THEM UP A LITTLE BIT. HES GOOD.
He is a funny professor. He unfortunately does not lecture well but makes up for it with reasonable or even easy tests that are straight from homework problems.
pretty good professor , really nice take him!!! tests are from homework , 40 points possible extra credit
Teaching is real bad need learn most of the stuff on your own. Do not rec. unless your good at learning on your own.
he lectures pretty well, if you don't get it ask questions and he will answer them. has a lot of patience when students are confused and need explaining. gives extra points and exams are easy.
Worse professor ever. He doesnt know how to lecture and expects you to know the stuff. Do not take him.
I love prof. Khoddam!! He's very patient, always willing to stay over his office hours to help. Offers ALOT of extra credit. I'm definitely taking him for another math class.
Professor Khoddam is a very good teacher in that he always takes his time to answer questions thoroughly. He grades really fairly and his tests are not too difficult to handle, given that you put effort into homework and studying.
i dropped his class because i couldn't keep up with the lectures. he is very fast paced and puts students on the spot and it can be quite embarrassing, which isnt very helpful when theyre trying to learn something new. but the tests are okay if you do well on homework and understand the material. the majority of my class did well with self studying
You have to know how to take a joke if you don't want your feelings hurt. He's an awesome teacher. He's very clear and very helpful. There are math videos and notes online for help. The quizzes are from the math videos and the tests are easy if you do the homework and practice the math videos. He gives extra credit if you go to the MARC.
Do not take this man!! Tests are hard and he does not teach!!
He uses his own notes to lecture. He is an average lecturer, sometimes clarification is needed after class. But always willing to help his students during office hours. His tests are from homework and are fair. Do the homework two times, go to office hours, and you can end up with at least a B in the class.
Kambiz is, by far, the most unique math professor I have encountered. His lectures are not only fast, but also all over the board. He posts the notes on BB, which you should print and use. DO THE HW! Quiz & test questions are from the homework problems. Do the Tmarc e.c.! Good Luck, we studied many hrs. and barely passed. It's a tough subject.
The best math teacher I've ever taken. Funny, extremely helpful and takes time to explain difficult concepts. Take this professor, do the homework and use the study guides, you'll pass!
Kambiz is not only hilarious but a great professor. He gives you everything you need to pass, so the only excuse to failure would be pure laziness. He loves answering questions to help you as much as he can. He makes math videos where he works through the problems (that are on the quiz!!) and shows you how to do them step by step. Very helpful
this teacher need to slow down because hes had and Iran accent and sometime I have and hard time understanding the way he talk and he need to be more consistent and more organized when he lecture on the board.
He teases ppl but hes nice & caring, french-ish accent but easy to understand, he encourages you to make friends/gives class time just for that :) Lotsa xtra credit. It was alittle inconvenient that the way to study for the quizes are through his online videos-but the quizes are straight from the videos. Watch them and you'll pass. I recommend him!
I just love this professor! It is the first time in my life that I actually understand Math. He is very helpful and explains many time the material! Also his videos are very helpful. Thank you Mr Kambiz!
Oh this guy is really something else! his jokes keeps the class going and he is very detailed in his lecture. He makes sure that you understand and goes step by step. This is the first time I took a math class that was actually fun because of his sarcasm and interaction with the students. I'm not the best at math and I got an A. Highly recommend!!
he is awesome i highly recommend him.
he rocks!!! he is super helpful and his energy kept me going..doesnt feel like your average math class..his interaction with his students makes the time fly..i will follow him throughout my time in math..simple awesome professor best experience ever
Kambiz is a great math teacher because he explains everything clearly and if any question are asked he addresses them on the stop. I have Dyscalculia and he help me so much that i actually like math. "Math is Fun" is his motto. He has voice he does voice to make the class laugh. Math videos & maps available help greatly!
Kambiz is such a nice dude. He'll catch u off guard at first with his sarcastic sense of humor, but he means well. Tests and quizzes reflect hw, so know it well. 40 pts E.C. Doesnt teach material too clearly though. I had to teach myself out of the solutions manual. Got an A though. If you have the time to teach yourself, Id say take him.
i found kambiz class very helpful and entertaining.as long as you show up and do the work study for exams you will do fine.i understood the material.the quiz are very easy.no way you can fail just study.would highly recommend to anyone who has had trouble in math.
His class is funny and always tries to answers questions. Quizzes are straight forward and some questions are homework problems. He may not be the clearest when explaining but will say it different ways for a student to understand.
he is an AMAZING professor!! offers extra credit, always willing to help, and cares about his students! he knows his math and knows how to connect with the his students.. i hope to have him again in the near future!
Kambiz is a GREAT professor. Math is my worst subject and I managed to receive an A in his class. He is hilarious and he makes math enjoyable for everyone. Most importantly he gives study guides for his exams and quizzes which he stays true to. If you know the material on the study guide you will do fine. He wants to see his students succeed! :)
GREAT PROFESSOR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED,always kept the class involved actually FUN. He's VERY nice,N smart,uses proper English, easily understandable.Doesn't mind going over the easiest concepts for someone and explains well.Has no favorites,N doesnt favor those buttkiserz.remembers namesJUST DONT ASK HIM TO WRITE NEATER when hes going over a review ha
Very funny and nice teacher! Has awesome aides for this class such as online videos that demonstrate every section of the chapters step by step!! Gives a great amount of extra credit if you attend the MARC. Great teacher for the mathmatically challeneged!
He has a pretty horrible sense of humor and his jokes tend to distract from the lecture. I got an A in the class but I had to teach myself everything from the book. Most of the people in my class had to do the same. Unless you have the dedication to teach yourself I wouldn't waste my time with this professor
Took him during spring 2013. He is an ok teacher. He does have an accent but is understandable, unlike his writing which can be difficult to read. The homework he assigns do not count for credit though I highly recommend you still do it. Does give 40 points of extra credit but must spend 2 hours at the t-marc to earn each point. Study hard to pass.
He's a really good professor and is fairly easy. His lectures are crystal clear and his examples are easy to understand. Exams/quizzes usually are based on hw, which aren't collected. Alot of extra credit too!! Take him for a chill class.
Good prof. ....... gives fair amount of hw ...... gives extra credit at the marc.......REALLY PATIENT AND NICE =)
he is really cool guy, always helpful and his test is fine
Best math teacher I've ever had. Explains things clearly. You know a stupid question if you hear one, but he is nice enough to explain it in detail. He's pretty chill. I didn't feel intimidated at all in his class. Homeworks don't count much on the grade, but I suggest doing them, because some items on the exams are taken directly from the hw.
awesome teacher &helpful. cracks jokes with class. loves his job
Awesome professor, definitely recommended. Explains clearly, and makes sure all his students know the material. Works well with you, and is very funny. He is not strict with attendance; however, if you do not want to miss out on important information, make sure not to miss!
Kambiz was an awesome professor! He made learning easy and fun. For someone who absolutely hates math I passed with an A. So that should say a lot about this professor. I highly recommend Kambiz Khoddam!
Mr. Khoddam is an awesome professor, very patient, welling to help his students, and very funny too. P.S. his cologne is amazing!!
Very helpful in lecturing, explaining. A fun teacher who makes a Math class fun. Always try to explain the materials in different ways so students can understand it completely. Give out a couple extra credits throughout the semester. Respect students. Fair grading. Definitely recommend Mr. Khoddam.
My favorite professor, took him in fall 2014 and I am glad that I did. It was NOT an easy class, you'll have to work for your grade. Very clear and helpful, very nice too! There are no such thing as multiple choices. Lots of homework but helps you a lot on your exams. He offers some extra credits as well which is a big plus. Take for a challenge!
A wonderful professor , took rim for spring 2015, first semester here in Mt Sac as international. Gives you 3 quizzes, 3 tests, 3 easy Maples, extra credit and a final exam. Questions on tests are the same as those in tests with small differences. Very very helpful. Funny professor, makes a lot of jokes. Highly recommended.
HE'S AWESOME. GIVES A LOT OF CREDITS AND HIS HOMEWORKS ARE ALL IN THE EXAMS. GO TO THE MARC. HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU. YOUR AWESOME MR KHODDAM :D
I did really bad in this class; D's and F's on tests, but still managed to pass because I did all the homework and was one point away from a B on the final. I felt like his teaching wasn't really clear and mostly had to learn on my own. He offers extra credit. He's a nice guy and will answer any questions. Pretty funny too!
honestly not a bad professor. However despite doing all the hw and having marc hours i still failed. Sucks since its my 4th time retaking :(
I love math ,but I personally didn't like this professor .He was always very annoyed in his lectures ,especially when the class didn't participate. Half of the students dropped his class.
Commonly used words/phrases: "Bless you" "Slap" "Mumbo Jumbo" "OMG time" Enjoyed coming to his class. Tests are nothing he hasn't taught, no surprises. Already took this class in HS so it was a good refresher class. He does have an accent but it isn't that bad. No big deal. Fun professor.
Kambiz is a very knowledgeable professor. He does tend to lecture a bit fast and he might assume that you know certain things, so be prepared to get a little lost. Just make sure you do the homework because the quizzes and tests are literally straight from there. If you skip class, make sure you review the material that was taught that day. Study!!
Kambiz is an awesome professor. I do not like math at all, but he explained lessons well. Homework is out of the textbook so make sure you complete it. Offers extra credit for hours at the TMARC. Will explain anything you don't understand if you ask questions. Very approachable professor.
He is a great professor he explains really good and is always available after or before class. He also give you extra credit and is a great person.
Has a bit of an accent, but it's not too bad. He does use the textbook for homework, but he doesn't assign too much of a heavy workload. He collects homework the day of exams, each packet worth 20pts. There are 3 tests and 3 quizzes. An answer key is uploaded after each quiz and exam. Extra credit is offered. Beware of the final exam, it was hard.
If math is a subject you struggle in or it has been a while since you took your previous course, I do not recommend this professor. It has been a year since my trig class and even on the first day I was completely lost. He lectures too fast and is at times hard to understand. You will have to teach yourself.
Honestly his teaching was confusing. I was so upset because the tests were really hard, despite being at the tmarc for hours on end and even going to the office hours I still FAILED every single test and quiz. I did all the homework and the extra credit, but got an F in the class. Unless you're good with math, then you can pass.
One of the best professor I've ever had so far. He was patient with students who weren't able to follow up the lesson and many extra credits were provided. I have never felt like I've learned a lot from a math class before. You just have to participate in class and you will learn naturally.
Although Kambiz has a heavy accent, he is a great professor. As long as you pay attention to his lectures you will understand the material. Make sure to go to his office hours if you need help because he is very helpful. He has two types of homework: online/offline. He collects the offline hw at the end of the class, so you can do it during class.
Overall Kambiz was a solid teacher. The class was full of lecture and he goes a bit fast. Expects you to know the material. Pretty funny guy and uses funky phrases that keeps you awake. A bit of a lot of homework, but he only checks for completion. Tests were pretty hard but he gives a TON of extra credit. 2 points for every 1 hour in the TMARC.
Professor Khoddam is an amazing, laid-back teacher. He wants you to be engaged and ask the questions when you don't get something. He loves to give good grades, and may ask the class what questions they would like to see on tests. Extra Credit MARC hours. He doesn't force you to do daily HW, but if you want to do well, try not to procrastinate.
take him for anything but MATH 150. i took himm for 51 and 71. he was decent. Math 150 he makes it soo hard please dont add him hes not worth it. paid 150 dollars for one book. and that book cant be used in the tmarc
Professor Kambiz is such a good professor! I struggle with math and honestly I was so happy to take MATH50 with him. He does assign HW assignments and he gives you plenty of time to finish. One key for passing this class is HW. Most of the homework is what he tests you on. Quizes and Tests ect. FUNNY GUY!!
Kambiz was one of the best professors Ive taken yet! Hes hilarious and wants to make sure all his student understand the subject. Hw is a medium amount but is due the day of tests. He explains different ways to execute a math problem. He wants to make sure everyone does math in a comfortable way not just one way. Highly recommend!
!!!! PLEASE take kambiz!! i struggle with math and i passed the class with a B!!! he makes the hw due when we have an exam!!! theres 3 quiz and 3 exams, when i first read the syllabus i wanted to drop lol but he made the class cool. please take him!!!
Very solid professor, will take the time to explain what even one person doesn't understand. Very caring and understanding of students. Has a good energy throughout class, which helps a ton in a lecture-heavy subject. Gives extra credit for going to the math lab. Gives plenty of material to use in case you didn't understand. Can't ask for any more.
Whoever struggles in math, please take him. Kambiz is very understanding of problems and very patient if you don't understand a problem. One can genuinely tell he enjoys teaching, every time I asked him for helo, he would take the time to explain it slower to me, and the more i would understand, he would get happy. You will not regret taking him
Not only is he extremely kind, but also goes out of his way to help his students. His exams are very very similar to the homework. He has his own lecture notes, which are really helpful. He does grade attendance, so make sure to go to class. He offers extra credit for going to the MARC.
He's SO KIND AND ACCESSIBLE. He would literally even do zoom conferences when its not 'official' office hours to help you with any problems you have before the exam. TRULY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS.
Kambiz is very passionate about Math and truly wants his students to succeed. Very entertaining lectures, good sense of humor. Does require alot of hw but manage your time wisely & you can definitely get it done. Is confusing during lecture but there are video notes in the website we use for hw that explain things simply. Test are much tougher.
HW heavy via Mymathlab. 4 Exams, 2 Finals. He will make you work for it. Study your eyes out. You will need to if you want to pass.
IF YOU STRUGGLE IN MATH, TAKE PROFESSOR KAMBIZ!!! Class lectures are on zoom & he goes into detail about the steps & makes sure everyone understands before he moves on. All lectures are recorded as well to go back & review. Very funny & understanding Professor, & was even kind enough to round my A back up after it slipped a bit from the final!
Professor Kambiz really cares about his students success. I took his Math 71 class via online due to COVID-19. His lectures are somewhat overwhelming and does give a lot of homework. Exams are very similar to the practice exams he gives you which helps.
Proffessor Kambiz is a good proffessor and knows what hes doing, but it's hard to understand him sometimes and he dose seem to go a little fast sometimes and some students would tell him to repeat a step because they couldn't understand him and most of the time i had to teach myself or go to the tutoring center online they had and tests are hard.
taking trig atm and hes a good teacher if you can keep up. He does make time for students and very helpful. LOTS of hw, no quizzes and chap exams are around every two weeks. very open to questions during zoom and response emails quickly. overall not a bad teacher.
Math has always been a challenge for me, but I needed this class to graduate. I am grateful I took Professor Kambiz class. It was challenging, but Professor Kambiz was supportive and caring. If you do your part by studying, using tutoring resources, attending classes, asking questions, & applying yourself, you can pass this class. Great professor!
I will say that Prof. Khoddam wouldnt allow you to look at notes and lectures whenever you got an exams and quizzes with him. Its unfair. I will say that he should have open notes, what happens if we fail or get an F cuz of his decisions that he made. To be honest most funny professor and he could answer assignments with you.
Took Professor Kambiz for Math 71 in the Fall 2021. He was fantastic. Great lectures and they're recorded for later review. At the beginning of each class he will answer any questions you have regarding HW or review questions you might have gotten wrong on a quiz. He is super patient and helpful. I would recommend 100%. Attend every class lecture.
Great Professor but lectures were read off of textbook. In class, all questions are answered but usually took the whole time. Very nice teacher and very understanding. Would say go to office hours and his response time to emails is very quick. Also a very funny teacher. Would take it again.
Amazing instructor I've ever made at Mt.sac! Very clear teaching methods,Mr.Kambiz Khoddam is patient and lovely. If you go through the lecture or HWs, I bet you are good.Thank you Mr. Kambiz!
Professor Khoddam will go the extra mile to help you succeed. I was struggling in the Finite Mathematics class all semester long and the only reason I passed with a B was due to his office hours which he offered 2 times a week. No matter if it was a Saturday or Sunday, he'd always be open to helping me with my homework and cared about my success.
Terrible professor, he makes math overly complicated by using the long way to solve problems and does not get to the point. Like seriously, he won't allow us to use a graphing calculator to solve for very long martices and counts that as cheating, you must follow what he uses on his lectures not your way. That's how close minded this professor is.
Lectures are boring and are different from homework problems. Homework will stress you out. You have to follow his way of solving problems, otherwise he counts it as cheating. He is not funny.
Professor Khoddam is my favorite professor. He is caring, and extremely patient professor. He will answer every questions, he cares about all of the students. He is so funny, that will make you laugh at class. If you are struggling with math, take him. If you are scared about math, don't worry, professor will walk you step by step. I love him
The homework and test is easy, if you want to learn math, choose his courses.
I took Professor Khoddam for Winter 2024. If you want to get an A, take him. He is an easy grader while also teaching the content effectively. You might seem lost at first, but you will get the hang of it and not regret taking him. I got 104% in his class, proving that his class is easy. He also gives a lot of easy extra credit points.
Professor Khoddam is very kind and accessible. He goes the extra mile to help students, even offering Zoom sessions outside of office hours. The course is challenging but manageable if you stay on top of the work. Unstuck AI was a great supplemental tool for preparing for exams.
Take this class!!! Coming from a person who failed Trig twice... this professor was the only one who really explained the material well, gave feedback, and was quick to reply whenever you need help. Just participate in the discussions and do the homework on time (1 week to do it; pretty good span to complete hw.)
Amazing professor! As long as you participate in the discussions and do the homework on time then you'll be good! The tests were 50% of our grade but he always explained the material really well and made it super easy to understand (failed trig once btw loll). 110% would recommend his class!
I honestly learned a lot from Prof Khoddam. In his class, you choose if you want to read the notes or watch his videos and follow along. The exams were literally easier than the homework assignments, and Prof Khoddam is a lenient grader if you follow his directions. I also liked how Prof Khoddam was very flexible and nice if you email him. 10/10
