He is a professional educator. Lovely and soft personality. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend him.

He is respectful and helpful. His quiz is little hard for me. It is little hard to get a A, but very easy to get a B. Strongly recommend him. Very strongly.

knowledgeable, some accent. Clear and definitely will learn a lot. Easy to get an "A" ,if doing Labs and attend the lecture. Very helpful respects students. Provides environment to learn and grow. Recommend him highly. The best

Very knowledgable. He treats students with dignity and respect. Get ready for 2 hours long exams . Easy to get B but hard to get an A. He is very helpful outside classroom. Study , do the lab and quizzes you will pass with minimum B. Highly recommend him, specially if want to pursue Computer Science.

He is definitely the most knowledgeable CIS department faculties. If you do your homework and Lab you are "B". "A" is harder. He is an extraordinary teacher. Take it with him if you really want to learn programming. Great personality inside and outside classroom. Very helpful and is a very nice gentleman.

Although course content is real simple, but a bad teacher; and we have a lots of them in CIS department; could makes it a disastrous experience. He is organized, knows the subject very well and deliver it in best fashion. He respects female students and provide an environment for them to flourish. Without any hesitation I recommend him.

Awesome teacher! Very clear and energetic teacher; made me love computer science. He is extremely helpful and make the concepts very clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend him. Take him if you are willing to study hard and get an A!

One of the best classes I've ever had. Very clear on what needs to be done, very understanding and lenient with grading and let's you re-submit labs until you have it perfect or near it. Wish I could take him for CIS 22B. Very nice and fun class, highly recommended.

Professor Dr. Eftekhari has a very interactive teaching style. He is a great teacher, and fun class. He is very knowledgeable.For tests and quiz, You won't see anything that haven't been covered in lecture. Very nice gentleman outside classroom. Fun, take him.

He's very funny and knows how to put CS concepts in an easy way we all understand. He definitely does a lot from the book and you need to turn in a LOT of homework. He'll give you an A if you pass his final with a 90+ score.

Professor Eftekhari is the best professor I have ever had in my whole college experience. He's thorough and helpful and his passion for teaching really shines through.

I like him a lot. He is amazing in every amazing way. The best CS professor at De Anza. I don't know how you could fail his class unless you are really uninterested in programming. But I was fascinated. I love him. Take Kamran. Much learn. Much fun.

Probably the best professor in De Anza. Fun, helpful and tons of opportunity to earn extra credits. Most importantly, though the classes goes super fast, he's always crystal clear about every single point. So sad he don't teach any more classes.

Professor Eftekari is awesome. He will move heaven and earth to help a student, and is very clear and easy to understand. The textbook is ok, but his method of instruction is phenomenal. One of the few classes I can confidently recommend to everyone. He is definitely not the type of professor who does the bare minimum. Top quality.

Dr Eftekhari is exceptional mentor with very good teaching skills and clarity of thoughts. He is very diligent, helpful to student and give comprehensive coverage of the course.

Energetic, smart, and great character 100% recommended. The best

He is an excellent, prepared, organized, nice and clear teacher. Lectures are usually interesting, homework can be challenging, tests are generally feasible. He helps you during his office hours if you have questions. He points out issues related to the industry. He is the master.

Extremely helpful! Has a positive attitude which helps to learn. He Knows his materials and can go down to student's level to explain those. Excellent teacher. Make sure go through ALL his lecture notes before going to his exams.

Probably the best professor in De Anza. Fun, helpful.Most importantly, though the classes goes fast, he's always crystal clear about every single point. So sad he don't teach CIS 22B.

The course was excellent and the instructor in particular was really fantastic. I really like the course content especially the way it was organized. This teacher has done an incredible job of helping students understand how all of these seemingly discrete components can be pulled together.

The best professor that I ever had. Very helpful, vey nice and helpful.

Great class he is so compassionate about everything he teaches and truly cares about every student. If you can get in this class you are one of the lucky ones!

Lectures are very useful! He explains alot in lecture about the concepts. Nice, caring person.

Good teacher. I took this 2 quarters ago and it was my first CIS class. His teaching style is very hands-on (write lots of example codes in class), which I really appreciate. Take time to hammer key concepts to us until we remember it. Exams are easy if you study and read the book. Knows his stuff. I'd take his class again definitely.

Easily the best teacher I have ever had.

He is a part time instructor, and he is more available and caring than all other faculties together. He is a university type of teacher, he teaches concepts and avoids too much details. He is the best. If study reasonably an A is insured.

Eftekhari was a wonderful professor. He will take the extra time to meet with you outside of class and ensure you leave with a clear understanding of what you were struggling with before. He also gave class, major, and job advice during the one on one meetings and really got to know his students. University-level professor. Great person!

He's hilarious and very interactive, goes over everything precisely and doesn't skip a single step and never assumes a student "knows" something. truly a marvelous professor. He takes cheating very seriously!!!!!!!!

Dr. Eftekhari teaches you "computer science" rather than just "programming". He talks about not only how to program but also how computers and programs work, which is amazing for CS students. Assignments are not hard, quizzes are fairly easy, tests are not many. You'll want to attend the class not for your grade but the inspirational lectures.

Great teacher with a ton of knowledge and this is reflected in his excellent lectures. Teaches you material relevant to industry and answers questions very well. Dont goof off in class or he gets mad. 6 T/F end of chapter quizzes. No midterm, 1 final with T/F and a bit of coding. HW probs come from textbook (found online) and are graded for effort.

He is one of the best.

I love Kamran he's great vet very smart a phd working for google.

Professor eftekhari is very organized. His tests and quizzes are fair. very kind and answers any question of students.

Cis22C is just a tough class in general. This course comes right from Berkeley which is cool. Take home midterm, in class final. 6/7 Labs for Java or 3/4 for C++(different difficulty/length). Kamran is really intense as well as smart. Show up to class, be polite, participate, DONT CHEAT, as questions, study, and you will get an A!

Awesome professor, ton's of knowledge. Inspiring for career growth, and gives insight into what you need to become a successful computer scientist in Silicon Valley. Among the best I've taken. Some students did have a rough time. It's a not a hard subject, butsome students preferred to sleep or play games during his lectures and ... they dropped.

This dude is like a dad. Teaches not only the inner curriculum but outer.

Professor Kamran is really a helpful professor. His lectures are so amazing and you can easily understand any topic of programming by his lectures. Labs are really helpful for practice the programs.

There's something so incredibly likable about this guy. He's honest, open, friendly, and is always cracking jokes. He teaches at a slow pace, giving us students awhile to pick up the material. He is very upfront about the grading material. He just had a lecture today about not wasting your time being in CS if you don't have what he has - passion.

This is hands down the best data structures professor. Although this class requires effort, it is very worth it. Midterm and final are not easy. He let us choose the language for the projects (Java, C++, Python) although he teaches mostly in Java. His lectures are so thorough that they will help you ace your upper division data structures class. :)

Extremely easy A... This guy will write the code for the labs, which should be our homework, with us in class. And we just need to submit the exact same code to get full marks. Unbelievable. The final exam is a bit hard though.

Kamran is an excellent prof. He cares about students' learning and prepares them well for upper division courses at universities. Exams are one level higher than notes, which requires you to think about different scenarios. This class opens my eyes in some CS concepts. Made mistakes in class and learned from it.

The majority of the grade was from short quizzes, the midterm, and the final. Quizzes are easy points if you just read the textbook. Midterm/final are easy if you just do the sample practice he provides. He responds to emails and gives good feedback. No negatives to this class, you just have to be responsible and study with the provided resources.

Professor has plenty of industry experience if you have questions. He is helpful and answers specific questions cogently. There can be a bit of self-study, but what to study is evident by the quizzes and discussions in lecture -- ask ask ask if you have questions about what will be on a quiz/test. Honored to learn from the Prof. Not for everyone.

Quizzes are from quizlet, which can make it easy to slack off. I didn't learn anything and was screwed for the tests, but that's the real reason you should take Kamran: easiest A ever. Just show up to office hours and chat with him about *anything*, and you will get an A (or at least not lower than a B+). Don't take for real learning.

Prof Eftekhari is an overall chill dude. He seems to actually know what he is doing with C++. You might have to learn on your own a little bit but if you know C++ already, taking this class should be a breeze. If you have questions, he will answer them but sometimes you have to interrupt your classmates because they will talk forever.

Eftekharis x86 class is easy if you do your work on time. The class was basically an asynchronous class with a module that had a hw assignment, discussion, and mini quiz each week. Your grade is mostly from quizzes, the midterm, and final. Its also easy to slack off so make sure you dont slack and youll be good. Hes also very generous with points

Eftekhari is extremely chill. He uses an online textbook called Zybooks for the online course which has some challenging labs. The exams are straight-forward which makes it an easy A. He structures the class the way programmers work in industry (self-teaching, stackoverflow). Don't expect the class to hold your hand and be prepared for what's next.

Dr. Eftekhari is a great professor who cares about his students and is very passionate about CS. To do well in his class, you need to read the textbook before class and do the practice problems. Also he is very approachable in Office Hours and gives good career advice. I strongly recommend taking his class.

Kamran is odd. His class is hard until final time. You are learning ONLY x86 assembly instructions, no macros. You use the textbook a ton, but he uses MASM which includes microsoft macros that aren't allowed to be used. Professor isn't grading your algorithms, only your instruction knowledge. Learn the instructions and their parameters, final is ez

AMAZING!

He is a passive lecturer so a lot of it is from the textbook but he is super helpful when you need help. Quizzes can be taken up to 3 times and gives ample time to do them. Only 1 midterm and 1 final. The final isn't cumulative either. Labs can be tricky but you can submit multiple times. Great professor

Professional work based enviroment. Offers resources to students to pass the class and to excel in the subject. Gives webassign through zybooks which depend mostly on labs. Lectures are optional but thats because you can access his resources outside of zoom.

I recommend this teacher.

This class requires lots of reading to answer the homework questions. There are about two labs and a homework each week which are fairly difficult and may be time-consuming. He stopped grading early into the quarter and only saw the grade on each assignment after the final day. He is very lenient in grading assignments. Make sure to do discussions!

Dr. Eftekhari, is a great professor with a vast amount of knowledge. The class consists of quizzes, discussion posts, homework, one midterm, and a final. If you're ever stuck on something, send an email or reach out during office hours. He's very kind and understanding. I highly recommended taking this course with Dr. Eftekhari.

He weighs a lot of the grade on your final and midterm, but the caveat is he goes over EVERY PROBLEM HE PUTS IN HIS TESTS DURING CLASS! Not outright of course, but if you actually go to his lectures and review the material it's fine. He has a lot of experience in the field (worked at google) and will take the time to yap and give advice. imo goat

overall enjoyed this class, get ready to read and attend his office hours if you have questions, don't procrastinate, and you will be fine, would take him again if he teaches Java courses!

Prof. Eftekhari is not only very knowledgeable but incredibly caring and compassionate and very down to earth, he would go out of his way to help and uplift his students as long as you proactively communicate with him. Hope I get to take his other classes too in the future!

I took this professor for both 22C and 21JA. His lectures can be heavy, but he always responds to emails quickly even on weekends and fixes problems right away. He can sometimes come across as strict and sound mean in his exam comments, but he curves all the grades at the end. He gives full marks on all homework as long as you submit something.
