No Comments
He's new, not very experienced and doesn't care if you don't understand.
I have a hard time in his class and instructor is not very helpful.
HE IS THE BEST!I have never understood math or the steps to solving probs.He explains it all so when you do a prob it's not like your memorizing what to do, but actually thinking about why this step leads to that. He should teach every class that has to do with math, it would have saved me in phys and chem!If you can, ONLY take shahla for math!
he is young, cute, and REALLY likes math. In time I think he will be a great teacher. Seasoning is important.
he's a great teacher. This guy is awesome, and i never understood math that well until i took him. I give him props and he is pretty hot. I hope he goes full time because he deserves it. I expect he will go very far at teaching. If you want an A, take his class.
I've never had him.. but he's very enthusiastic about what he does... and hes gorgeous!
took his class over summer 04 and thought he was great. I believe we were his first class. He explains things very well and checked our work regularly. Very good teacher for a beginer

this is my first semester taking his class and i've only been in class like twice. but when i was there i enjoyed his lecture.
He's really cool and one of the most helpful teachers I have ever met. Always willing to talk after class or during office hours.
Definitely one of the most helpful teachers on campus. Really nice guy and always there to help!
He was an awesome teacher. At first, I didn't want to take the class but at the end, I loved it. He is very helpful and nice. He also explains things very well so that everyone can understand. If you do the work and pay attention, you'll surely get an A.
This was a beginning algebra class and not college level. His contempt for those needing to take it really showed. He did not SHOW how to do a problem on the board, but asked the class to "think it through." When many could not do it, he actually stated, "Hey, if you can't do THIS, I'll sign your drop slips right now." Math problems? Beware.
A teacher who is very motivated in teaching the class. Eventhough he is very young, he is on his way on becoming a great teacher.I will not hesitate to recommed him to any of my fellow peers. He does explain the problems with clarity, you just have to pay attention. Overall he is terrific teacher.
Ladies take his class.Besides being the hottest teacher at AVC, you learn a lot in his class. He communicates well with students and he is very helpful. I had a crush on this teacher all semester. He is very charismatic and funny.
Great instructor! Very clear during lectures, pre tests are as close to the actual tests as you can get without handing the tests out. Makes classes interesting and fun.
Best math teacher I ever had. clearly explains problems on board from start to end. Tests are easy if you study practice test. Makes math interesting and drops lowest test score at the end. relaxed teaching style. Also, he does look attractive, so beware!
Good teacher, a little rude at times, test are easy and he at time overexplans stuff, take him for Math when ever you can

He's what a teacher should be. He's willing to go over something more than once, and if he gets asked the same question twice in a row - even after he's explained it several times - he doesn't belittle the asker for not paying attention. Really easy-going, but he can be a bit surly at times. And for pete's sake, do your homework!!!
this man, is fynne if you want eye candy while you leaning math this is the class to take. He's a great teacher and very nice-take him.
Makes math way easy to understand. Really easy to understand. Plus hes really cute!
This is definately the guy you want to take at AVC for any of your mathematics class. He is thorough and he explains everything in a way that is not intimidating. I have taken him for three classes and I adore him. He is everything a professor should be. I would recommend him to anyone. He's really awesome.
Not much homework and always reviews for the test so that you understand it.
Great teacher- didn't get to know him very well but he really cared about his students and their grades- very easy class- I failed it the first time with a different teacher and then easily passed it with him- he gives very little homework that is extremely useful- he's a cutie too :)
No comment
I don't know WHAT is up with the person before me, but if you don't get a good grade in Shahla's class, it's your own fault. He is always there to help, he is always willing to explain something twice - even three times, if you need it. You need to actually work at it, though, so if you don't get a good grade....the mistake is with you, not with hi
I thought he was a great teacher!! Math is my worst subject but he explained it step by step that I enjoyed taking his class! I highly encourage to the hw and take notes! I passed with A!! And he is Hot!
I took Math 70 online during the summer. It was pretty easy even though I am horrible at math. The computer program they use is great. Shahla is great because he gives you practice tests and answers and is always around to answer questions. No need to buy the textbook!
Great teacher, i enjoyed his class and i guess hes pretty attractive. He dresses nice. I would recommend him
I really tried in his class. He's a good teacher don't get me wrong but he was too fast for me and knowing that the rest of the class knew so much about math made feel really dumb. I don't like math but I'm willing to try, I withdrew. I recommend him but I myself wouldn't take him again.
Very nice and helpful, puts his own spin on things. Things I had trouble with before became a breaze. I would definitely take another math class with him!
Definitely the best teacher I've ever had. Always available for help and is very clear with his directions. Also a very fun teacher who jokes around a lot, which makes the class very enjoyable
A great math professor, very fun, and helpfull. makes class very interesting. I wish all math teachers were liked him. thanks professor Kenan. keep up the great work
Very easy to comunicate with and explains things to a level of understanding.
here hes great
I took shahla for math 70 and 102 online and i had a great experience. He is quick about answering your questions through email, and gives out a practice test before hand which is pretty much just like the test. You have to be self motivated for an online class, but if you decide to take one, take shahla hands down!
I stuggled and got a C, but thats my bad. Iam brain dead in algebra.I did 100% on homework and not very good on tests. He was more than fair and helpful. I needed to take algebra for 2 semesters to get a better grade.
I took this class online during intersession! It was A TON of work. The first week was horrible, with a ton of homework. The tests were somewhat difficult. He is great about replying to emails, until you ask too many questions and he stops responding. It is pretty hard if you are teaching yourself, but give it a try.
Shahla is far and away the best teacher at AVC that I've had so far. He not only knows how to teach his material in an easy-to-understand manner, but also how to help people like myself who are behind catch up to wherever the rest of the class is. His sense of humor is refreshing too, makes class fun to attend
I TOOK MATH 102 DURING INTERSESSION WITH HIM. HE'S VERY CLEAR ABOUT EVERYTHING. I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE MATH BUT HIS TEACHING SKILLS PULLED THROUGH FOR ME AND I GOT AN A. YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD, DO THE HOMEWORK AND ALWAYS SHOW UP. IF YOU DON'T THEN TOO BAD FOR YOU AND YOUR GRADE.
I TOOK HIM FOR MATH 102 ONL & IT WAS A BREEZE FOR AN ONLINE CLASS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HARD BUT IF YOU DO THE HOMEWORK IT HELPS YOUR GRADE A LOT. I GOT A's ON MOST OF THE TESTS AND FAILED THE FINAL... BUT HE STILL GAVE ME AN A :] VERY NICE TEACHER BUT I DIDNT SEE MUCH OF HIM SINCE I ONLY WENT IN FOR TESTS...
I hate Math and he made it so easy to understand maybe it was because he was cute =)...class was really fun to go to I recommend him to EVERYONE!!!!
Best teacher I ever had.
This teacher was one of the best math teachers I've ever had. His teaching makes math seem crystal clear. I am no math whiz but I managed to get a B in this class anyway. Make sure to do all the homework he assigns you because it does help to practice and helps your grade in the end. Study for the tests as well. Also very cute!
HOTTNESS! =] EXPLAINS WELL HES YOUNG GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE HES THEB HOMIE LOL TAKE HIM=]
Took this class as an online algebra class. Amazingly easy, so long as I did at least 2 assignments each day. It was a lot of monotonous work, but it was an easy A. Be prepared to input at least 2 hours a day into this class.
I took his online 102 class very easy. Only three tests and quite a few hw assignments, If you stay on track though its no problemo. Only thing I can compalin about is his tests only had about 20 questions so if you missed any it affected your grade alot. Tests worth 75% of grade so study everything.
he is a realy good teacher he trys hard and is always willing to work you you
Im not good in math i actually had to retake 102 cuz the 1st tacher i had was not a good teacher! i HIGHLY recomend this teacher I passed on my 2nd go durning interssion with this teacher. HES THE BEST!
Had him for 102 and 130 and he is AHHH-MAZING!!! Seriouly would not take another other teacher for these classes. He explains things so good, works with you, makes sure you get it, and adds a little fun in there too! TAKE NO OTEHR TEACHER THAN SHAHLA!!!
Great teacher, very helpful and laid back. Took his online class and loved it!
Mr. Shahla is a good teacher. If he wasn't so self absorbed he could probably be a great teacher.
Shahla is the best math teacher on campus!!!! If I could I'd re-take the placement test and do bad just so I can take his class again :D trust me, you'll think so too. Oh and talk about eye candy!!
Shahla is by far the most amazing teacher I have ever had. I wish he taught all subjects because I would take him for everything! I would NEVER take any other teacher for Math. Homework is a breeze, you dont have to buy the textbook, and he gives hints on the tests to get you started when your stuck..BEST EVER...and ya, hes great looking and funny!
Class is hard. I took online and it was tough. He does teach other classes so if you need help you have to go to his office hours. He does try to make time to help though. If you need attention in math take his regular class.
Kenan is a good teacher. He explain everything good and the test are super easy if you study. drop the lowes test and the lowes 5 hw. he is a good teacher and the test are the same as the review. He is a good teacher. It would be good if he teach math 115. I recommend kenan cus he is a real good teacher and he is good looking. The class is not bore
Ohh his class is very easy to pass if you study and do your homework. I love his class because he explain everything very good. Just do all your work and you would pass. Kenan is the number 1 of avc teaching math.
Wonderful! He is the best math professor at this school. He's young and he graduated from Ucla and he makes his lectures crystal clear. The material is pretty easy to understand, but try to do the homework because it will help you understand even better. Good luck!
I took 102 and 130 with Shahla and I have never had a teacher that was as helpful as he is. He will do anything he can to make sure you do well on his tests and explains things in a very easy to understand language. If I had taken this with anyone else I wouldn't have done as well as I did. Highly recommended!
hes a great guy funny. knows how to laugh makes lots of jokes. hes strict on cell phones though if you get caught he will warn you then scare you into putting it away or embarrass you in front of the class. Easy easy class though. im taking his 130 class this fall
MATH130 ONLINE WAS EASIER THAN TAKING ON CAMPUS. DON'T NEED TO BUY THE BOOK.EXTREMELY HELPFUL. ANSWERS TO UR EMAIL FAST.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. HIS VERY HELPFUL AND CLARIFIES ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
he's a really good teacher. makes everything really understandable. he makes the class fun. the homework is easy and he's really helpful.
He was a very good teacher. Explained everything well. If you had questions on the homework or in class, he was very helpful. Homework wasn't usually bad at all. Also has an amazing sarcastic sense of humor:)
SHAHLA! Amazing. Intelligent. Funny. Hot. Took 3 classes with him...need I say more?
With his good looks and personality aside, he is a great professor. He made every class enjoyable and laid back. I could always count on him to make us laugh the whole time. If only he taught 115.
He is a great teacher! Took him for 70 and 102. Would have taken him for 115 but it wasn't available. Great math teacher and yes he is HOT!!!
He is an amazing teacher! I currently have him for 70, and I for sure taking him again for 102. I recommend anyone who has issues with math (as I do), take him! And for all the ladies, he isn't hard to look at. He's a hottie.
he is very clear with what h is teaching and he wants you to ask questions he is very open with wanting to know if you are getting it.
Great teacher! I look forward to actually attending class.
Great teacher. Helps out when you need it. Will take him again.
I didn't realize teaching was a beauty contest but okay. He's very nice and very helpful. Took him for 70, will take his 102 class as well. Whether or not you need somebody to hold your hand, take him. He's there if you need additional help.
His teaching style is very laid back and casual, but very easy to follow. He's very sarcastic but doesn't make class dull. Really wants you to understand the material, and yes he is good looking. Hated Educosoft though. Aside from that, the class wasn't too hard or easy. I highly recommend him and I would take his class again.
Mr.Shahla is a great teacher. He is willing to help and wants to make sure that you're understanding the material. I've had him for math 102 and math 130. He is by far one of the best teachers I've had. Also he has a great sense of humor and makes the class interesting.I highly recommend him.
Taken him three times....need I say more....Easy on the eyes as well!!
Very helpful, he gives you everything to pass the time the quality, and he literally sits there asking you to ask questions if you don't understand. if you don't pass its not that he is a bad professor, you didn't try, there is no way you shouldn't pass, great professor
Great professor, great quality of teaching, he literally waits until some asks a question, always spends extra time helping students.....if you fail the class it is not his teachings, you just didn't try,would recommend him to anyone
Great teacher, I found him easy to follow and enjoyed the class. 5 exams, drops the lowest score. I suggest using a notebook specifically for this class and take organized comprehensive notes. He bases his tests off of what he writes on the board, so there's very little in the way of surprises on the exams.
Cool teacher, very funny. SARCASTIC! Texting is unacceptable. Straight forward. Study guides are the same type of problems on test.
THE BEST!!!!!
he is a great teacher he realy cares and is willing to recover whatever it is u need him to so u understand it he also gives you a practice test which is the same as the test just different numbers so take him he is great n so hot
Awesome teacher! Wish he taught statistics, linear, and all the other ones that I want to take. I highly recommend Professor Shahla. AWESOME!!!!!!
awesome teacher! very helpful and explains in detail! hott! funny! not boring! did i say awesome?! i loved him
I would definitely recommend this teacher to anyone who has a deep hatred for Math. I hate Math with a passion and he made it fun and easy to understand. His tests are easy as long as you do the study guides he posts before each test. I would definitely take him again if I could.
All the good things you see here about Shahla is true. He gives very helpful study guides, yet he will mix it up on you once or twice. Took the online070, have to say he makes it easier for you. I detest math, he made it bearable and more fun. Already registered in his online Math 102 for Spring.
AMAZING TEACHER, HE LOVES WHAT HE DOES AND IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP
Very helpful teacher. Funny, cool, playful. He wants to help students pass but you must show up to class all the time. He gives multiple choice math test which is very helpful.
THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER!!! If you are struggling understanding math, TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He also has supplemental instrutors available (tutors). He makes things clear, tests are multiple choice (and he gives practice tests with SOLUTIONS). It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE ANYTHING BUT A GOOD GRADE. Strongly recommend him!
Very good teacher overall, funny, sarcastic but he really wanted all the students to learn the material. Tests were fairly easy, math isn't my forte but he made me like it and I got an A in the class. Recommend him!
He's a great professor. I had him for Math 102 & it was really easy but in Math 130 he moves FAST so you have to make sure you study. He drops the lowest test score & on a couple of tests you can use approved note cards. If you need special attention, DON'T TAKE HIM. He is "fit" for people who have a somewhat "clear" understanding of Math.
OMG!! I hated math so much, but since I took his class I totally understand. He is a awesome teacher. 3 test: 1 Final, homework(Not alot) is on educosoft. The test are not that hard if you study the material. All in all loved this guy, and if your struggling in math TAKE HIM!! P.S he is the hottest professor I have seen on campus ;)
Great Professor! Best Math teacher I've EVER had! He's funny and tests are very short (15 at most). We were able to use note cards for a couple tests and he drops the lowest test score. Homework is weighted 20% and tests 80%. Such an easy class!I do not recommend missing class though because we do go through a lot in just one class.
He's pretty cool, Tells you whats on the Test & things your most likely gonna get wrong. Test are basically the notes. Fun class(: Bring extra snacks. He'll take some of yours.
Although he is funny, sarcastic and easier than most professors, be careful if you plan to take higher level math classes as this teacher does not teach to mastery. He teaches to entertain and pass. Almost feels more like a high school class- not a college level math course. Be prepared to struggle with higher level math courses.
Professor Shahla is a great teacher, he explains the material very well and helps guide you through a few problems if you are struggling. Professor Shahla you rock!
Really chill guy and is very helpful and super easy. He only counts 3 out of the 4 tests.
kind of a bad teacher but at the same time easy class
He's very average. I'm not convinced he's motivated by student success. Skip him.
He's a very nice teacher very helpful. He motivates you to do the best on your test. Take him!!
I hate math but he made it so easy, things i had not gotten for years seemed to simple. he really breaks everything down, and cares about the students. i took his intersession math 70 class and loved it i then took math 102 the following spring semester and passed! He is amazing. take him for all math courses he teaches!
Professor Shahla is a great teacher! This was my third time taking this class after failing the first two times. He let us redo the first test if we didn't do well on it, and was extremely helpful during Math Lab when we had trouble with a math problem, and took the time to walk us through the problem! I would highly recommend this teacher!
Loved his class! His tests were clear and simple and basically takes the questions from the notes and puts them on the test. Drops the lowest test score at the end of the semester. Being in class is definitely necessary, but it was an easy semester.
He teaches math by showing you all the steps and the "easy" way. He will forget the proofs, because most students do not get them anyway. He really breaks it down and I found his class to be VERY Passable. Take Notes, Pay Attention, and Show up.
Very popular teacher but my learning experience was his way or no way, Or favorite his favorite two quotes, "Go to SI" or "See you next semester". He is not a easy teacher to pass. Not very helpful. Has a"I get it so you should" persona. Don't take if your not good at math. Teaching styles don't fit all learning styles. Do not take this teacher.
I took him for intersession and I am glad i did. I know that is it were with any other teacher i most likely wouldn't have gotten the grade that I ended up with.
Took the class online, only met 4 times out of the semester. SUPER EASY if you stay on top of the homework. Tests have 25-30 multiple choice questions, drops your lowest test grade, allows you to use calculators on test. NO make up test be there for ALL test dates. At the end of semester opens up all homework to make it up.
What can I say: I enjoyed my math experience with Mr. Shahla. He's precise about everything, straight to the point. I do not like math nor do I perform well, However, I feel I gained a lot and did well. The only thing is you are responsible for your education. SO GO TO S.I. plus: Wednesday's are chipotle cheat day.
An AMAZING teacher who loves his job! He has a sarcastic sense of humor that I loved, as long as you know when to shut up, class is alwayse fun. I was never good at math, but he is very clear in class, take good notes and you can ace the test. He offers SI instruction for those who need more help (like me), so go to SI if you struggle. He is great!
Professor Shahla is great to look at from the front and behind haha He is a great professor and made the class entertaining (i had 12 hour days at school and looked forward to his class). if you study his notes before the test you will pass with an A. Take his advice redo the problems in his notes. Im good at math so it was an easy A. TAKE HIM
Really clear with what he wants done and what his expectations are and has a lot of patience. I thought I was going to end up with a C based on my first few tests. But he seems to look out for his students, however. Thanks Shahla.
Shahla is an amazing math teacher. he explains topics so clearly and the homework he gives definitely prepare you for the tests! I wish I could take him for every math class ever.
I had to learn material on my own because its an online class. If you need help he has office hours available
He is a great professor, he makes it look easy, ask questions and he will make sure you understand. What he teaches is what he gives on the test. need to put effort into it and you will pass. study what he gives as homework, that will be on the test. No text book needed homework is online.
At the beginning of the semester his class was full, at the end of the semester, one student was gone. Professor Shahla is an amazing teacher, he keeps the classroom environment light, while being able to teach at the classroom pace, while getting everything done. Tests were easy to prepare for, and he's just an overall awesome guy! Good luck!
easy class if you are comfortable with not being in a classroom while learning math. hybrid course-so going in 4 times per semester is required! homework is ABSOLUTELY essential to passing this class
K. Shahla is an amazing instructor. His students education is priority, but don't get it twisted, if you don't care there's no way he can help you!!!! If there's any misunderstanding he has your back and will clarify. He is a sarcastic funny, but it lightens up the lecture and removes nerves. Test are not hard if you do the homework.
If you have struggled with math he is not the one... Homework is on my math lab and its a lot so be prepared to study. There are 4 tests including final (only 24 questions) Lets you use calculator. He can be very sarcastic at times but that's just his personality. Has his own SI tutor and she is very helpful breaks down the math very well.
Shahla is an AMAZING teacher I took his Math102 class for Fall 2015. He is so funny and really interacts with his students. He always assigns homework(Online) but In the end it helps you pass the tests! Test weren't hard, fair. He is always there for questions and he really makes lectures enjoyable. Overall, amazing man, amazing professor.
Loved prof shalah he made the class room enviorment super light, I felt comfortable asking questions even though I didn't have too many because he was very clear. He assigns hw on my mathlab which was kind of a lot but helps you pass the tests. Just put in the effort and you'll be sure to pass. I wish I took him for 102
I really enjoyed going to Shahla's class, his sense of humor will help the class not seem so long. Ask questions if you don't understand the subject matter as it happens, it'll help. You won't need the physical book, but you'll need the online program since all homework is done on there. Take him if you can!
I took the online class. I catch on to math pretty easy so this class wasn't hard at all. Do all your homework! Sometimes I wouldn't finish before the test but I was never told anything. He always post a parctice test for you, I suggest you do that because it's helpful. Test are usually 24 questions. He opens all homework at the end for you to do.
Take his online class ONLY if you know what you're doing and are experienced with algebra. He's a helpful and friendly and puts practice tests, but a few homework problems were incorrect. He sticks to the his grading scale but is a bit slow to correct some errors i.e if he missed uploading a test grade. Speaking of tests, they're typically easy.
online you study and do your HW then you will pass grade depends on yourown effort - hw is given in 2 week increments and you go in once a month for the test which are 25 questions multiple choice you may a calculator there are 4 test the whole semester he will knock off the lowest test grade- i like this teacher
Great teacher but his teaching techniques are not for me. If you're already familiar with this subject then you are good. But him only offering mymathlab & no book was not right for me. The steps on there confused me big time. Loved how his test are only multiple choice with no work shown & only 20-25 ?'s. He's good but wouldn't take again.
I took Shahla for a summer class and he is great! He's one of those teachers you wish could teach every math class you take! Very funny. If you have to spend 4 hours in a math class in the summer, he is definitely the one you should take. Do the homework and pay attention in class and you will pass easily.
Professor Shahla is great!As long as you put effort into the class he will grade you on a curve. Do the homework and study and you should be fine.
I would recommend Professor Shahla to anyone. His class is so easy and I don't really understand math, but I passed. As long as you put effort you will pass. If you are lazy do not take this class!!!
Professor Shahla is THE BEST MATH TEACHER!! I highly recommend. He WILL PASS YOU if you put in the effort and do the homework, he makes it easy for you to understand and trust me, you will, come test time, you're solid! AWESOME TEACHER!!! I didn't understand math until I took his class and it was ALL ONLINE, WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?! Take him!!! :)
Prof. Kenan Shahla is the only teacher to take if you have a difficult time passing Math. I had him for Math 70 and 102. If he taught Math 115, I would take him again. He uses My Pearson Math lab, although there is a lot of math problems, the tests are easy after study. He is highly respected and recommended. One of my favorite teachers at AVC !!
He is a hilarious teacher and makes learning the subject more fun. There is homework due every week but it is easy if you pay attention in class and the tests are based of the homework.
I have taken professor Shahla for Math 70 and now 102. He is such an amazing teacher and really makes math tolerable. He gives great lectures. All homework is online using mymathlab. He posts practices tests before exams and those really help. Weekly homework but it really prepares for tests. Multiple choice tests, calculator is okay! He's awesome!
I took the online class. He never answer quickly my emails. You are on your own. Tests are tricky, including final. Lots of homeworks, got me confused. I passed the class, but it was hard. He has good reviews, but he doesn't help online class students. Well at least that was my case.
Try to be as consistent in attendance as possible, ask questions, and when he says to stop taking notes and just watch, do it.
It was an online class he didn't give me any problems, everything was pretty straightforward.
He is the best Professor I had for Fall, 2017! Class is entertaining, at times boring lectures, but he keeps you alert. Be attentive, board lectures, and participate. He doesn't like answering his own questions; he's clever. Homework MathLab, Tests are three total, simple. Final is worth less points. MATH 102 HERE I COME! Spring 2018!
Grading and homework is straightforward. He takes a while to reply to emails and isn't very helpful.
He is one of my favorite teachers! He is cool and very funny! Caring about the students, and always trying to make his lectures as interesting as possible!!! his tests not difficult and very easy to pass!!!! HE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Highly recommended to take all his classes!!!!!
I took this in HS & slacked off knowing I would still pass, and I did. But i didn't learn jack, hence why I ended up back in math 102. He surprisingly made it easy to pay attention in class which I've ALWAYS struggled w/in math. Explains things incredibly well and if you do the hw and study guides, you'll ace the tests. Also let's you out early :)
I took him for math 102, he was amazing. He let us use cheat sheets and calculators on every test! All of the homework and study guides were in my math lab online. Only con about this professor is he takes a while to get grades back
I took his hybrid class and he was a cool teacher. He was unintentionally funny. The homework is from my math lab and there's 3 tests. A lot of homework but it's easy. He does take a while to grade tests. I would take him again.
Honestly the best math professor at AVC. The class isnt hard at all. All you need is math lab and a graphing calculator. Always allow cheat cheats on the test. Do homework you will pass. Very understanding and very funny.
really cool guy. makes it easy to learn the material and the tests are very similar to the practice test he makes for students and tests are multiple choice!! you need to purchase the math lab for homework which is given everyday and a graphing calculator. he teaches a new lesson every day so attendance is mandatory if you wanna learn and pass!
We have homework assigned in class, but he doesn't really grade it; he gives it a check and gives you all the points even if you got every question wrong. That being said, most of your grade relies on the papers and the tests. He was a funny and enjoyable teacher overall.
If you want to pass math, its with him. Im good at math, and he makes it easier, like if he were teaching to kindergartens. If you talk to him you might turn late work.
He's a great teacher to take and is very understanding. If you participate and secure a good grade in the beginning then the rest of the class is an easy A watching videos and writing summaries.
Can't rate a professor you never talked to that doesn't teach. Self-taught class. If you email him he can and will respond a week late and say "let me go see", and never get an answer back. If you need a refresh of basic math this will be an easy class. If you struggle with basic math youtube tutorials will be your best friend but will still pass.
I mean, this class is strictly online so I didn't talk to Professor Shahla personally only through Pronto (school chat app). You essentially teach yourself the class, only thing is that once he popped a test and it threw me off. He doesn't really help you but if you can apply yourself, take it it's alright.
Professor Shahla's class was the easiest A that I have ever received. I love math so this class was easy but if you struggle with math I definitely do not recommend it. He does not have live zoom classes but you check in on a discussion post during the time that your class was supposed to be scheduled for.
This teacher is NOT good at all! How can you learn when you dont even get to see see or talk to him face to face. He doesnt have slides to take notes or lectures .Then he doesnt respond back to students emails if they sound to dumb for him to answer. I wont take this class if I were to take Intermediate algebra, you have to teach your own self.
Easy A. There was no zoom or lectures, all assignments were online and easy!
Professor Shahla really lacks communication with students. I emailed him because I needed help on a question and he never responded. Very few assignments are assigned, but dont expect him to answer to emails and even help you out if you need it.
Horrible, took him for math 110 pre-covid. Was only HIS SECOND SEMESTER teaching this type of math. Was unable to properly help students understand concepts that were presented. Claimed that " he was the only one to help us and no one else on campus will know how to help you." Most of us failed,save your money for a better professor...
Kenan was by far one of the chillest instructors Ive ever had. Made math fun and easy to understand. I took him years ago when he was still fairly new to teaching.
An easy math class, definetely lenient on assignments and what he expects from you, but can also be frustrating reaching him outside of class and/or actually connecting. Wasn't strict on times or due dates, so assignments are easy and few between. No reason to fail this class unless you literally just don't show up.
Homework is worth more than the tests. we got 2 tests in my class through the whole year. He does answer emails well so i suggest talking to him in person. tests are easy
He was good, we had two test out of the whole semester. Homework is where he really bases the grades but takes a while to grade the work, paying attention is really important
He is a great mth professor. Uses PowerPoints and has examples to match venn diagrams and solving problems. He turns us into critical thinkers and not to overtime in the class. His lectures are great and inspirational as well. He is available during office hours and there to help students be successful. Take him.
Easy math class! Was more logic instead of numbers based which I loved! His explanations were super clear and I actually learned the concepts he was teaching. He took attendance every class and reminded us how important it was for us to be present.
The class was easy. There is barely any math, just basic logic problems. Only two tests and both are multiple-choice. The lectures consist of him reading off a PowerPoint and writing down examples. Encourages asking questions. He didn't grade our assignments until the last week of the semester.
Math 110 with this professor is a straightforward class - more logic-based than number-crunching. Attend lectures, stay on top of assignments, and use resources like unstuck AI to supplement your studying. The workload is manageable, and the professor is helpful if you engage with the material.
He's really chill and pretty good at teaching. I understood everything he taught, and he only took an hour per class instead of the full time. And sometimes let us out earlier than that. His homework is worth more than the test, so make sure to prioritize and not fall behind. This class is an easy A.
didn't expect to come out liking math towards the end of my semester but he's very easy u learn a lot. Attendance matters!!He's very easy and straightforward! We had about 2 Quiz(more point)it's all on the lectures and homework's he assigns that's why it's important toshow up he explains it better if you're a visual learner like me :)good luck!
As long as you do the work and follow the instructions, you will get a good grade. The work is hard, but he provides plenty of resources, such as video reference and practice opportunities, amongst other information. He is a fair teacher, and the work is rewarding. Would absolutely take again!
This class is very hard to fail. sometimes you might have to teach yourself a little bit on your own, but you really would have to try to fail his class. he is very chill and kind of funny
