You can really tell he knows macroeconomics well as he explains it in a way that is pretty easy to understand. Never found myself very confused during his lectures. He is a bit of a slow talker sometimes but that's not always a bad thing.

Exams are based on the textbook, be sure to practice the questions and attend class as he goes through many of them. Overall, great prof and goes in detail of the concepts and theories to practice before the test.

Is very knowledgeable in macroeconomics and it shows in his lectures. Takes his time and gives multiple examples to ensure you understand. You could not attend lectures and learn the material but if you do attend chances are you will have a better understanding and will learn it quicker. Some things are not explained in detail so you have to read.

The class is hard is general, tries his best to explain and go over topics and answers questions. Gave a passing grade when in reality I failed

Very good Professor, really the only issue is that for online class his microphone isn't the best.

This is a solid choice for the course if you want a guaranteed pass. His course is weighted so that 40% of your grade is on the homework assignments, and you get a 3% bonus for following policies and not bothering him with emails. I don't attend his classes, but he posts the slides and notes so I just used those along with the textbook.

Good prof, teaches well and gives good examples to help explain different concepts. Also his marking scheme was good, making the assignments in the class worth 40%, midterm was worth 25, exam was worth 35, and we got a 3% bonus for just following the course outline. However, his microphone made it hard to hear him sometimes.

Eslami is amazing!! We had a lot of marks that went into this and his midterm and final were super straight forward.

Though the midterm and tests are hard he is quite lenient with students and is very friendly and helpful in his emails when you need help.

Keyvan was a great prof the course breakdown was really great as 40% was Connect assignments! The midterm and exam were definitely brutal so do a lot of practice. Doing review questions from the textbook and the in-class ones help!

i honeslty hated economics, but keyvan is a really good prof. hes caring and really wants his students to succeed. i would have enjoyed it more if i acc liked econ but other than that hes good

Professor Eslami gives a 3% bonus for attendance which he may curve. Midterm and final questions are straightforward, mostly multiple-choice. Going over his lecture notes and doing the assignments are all you need to do very well in this course. - Connect assignments (40%) drop 2 lowest grades - Midterm (25%) - Final cumulative (35%)

Professor Eslami is a good prof with a heavy lecture, just make sure to attend his classes and do participate which gets you a 5% bonus, which is a good thing later on when it gets curved when your final gets flunked. Just do well on the connect assignment and midterm and final are pretty straight forward.

Before the Winter semester, Professor Eslami had a solid 4-star rating, which is very reasonable considering that he is actually a good teacher and very passionate about the course. Recently, I've noticed that his rating has been negatively impacted by a series of misleading reviews, seemingly from a single disgruntled student. The guy isnt bad.

Take this prof he boosts the final grade a lot.

His lectures notes are very helpful, final was a little hard but not so bad, he curves the final grade. Best prof ever!

Although his notes are kinda long and boring. He is a very passionate teacher and very reasonable when it comes to marking.

If your bad at Econ take this course he boosts the grades at the end of the semester.

Waited until the end of sem to rate him, unlike other people, good prof trust me, you'll like econ just by being in his class.

Although most people say to take Kam, I disagree. Keyvan's homework AKA Connect assignments are extremely easy comaped to Eric Kam's Mylabs, the midterm was basically the same, and our final was a tad bit easier.

This is the only review you should read: Despite the miserable people who never tried in his class that bombed his review, Keyvan is a great teacher, and it is not hard to get a 4.0 in his class. Trust me, I did it. Unfortunately, a lot of people sleep during class and then like to disrespect the prof.

A+!!!! Yippee take him he's great

Keyvan should consider revaluating his teaching style a bit, but apart from that, he's goated. Assignments are easy ASF, Midterm easy ASF, and the Final exam is challenging ASF, but it got curved, so don't worry.

Good Prof

Keyvan is a respectable professor. Although his teaching style is a bit difficult to grasp, it is easy to do well in the course. The connect assignments are easy to do well on. Despite that, his grading scheme is clear and offers a bonus attendance mark. He is a nice and caring man. I recommend you take the course with him.

Well-rounded professor who cares for his students' success. He does an excellent job teaching this course. Grading scheme is clear, Connect assignments are easy, and the midterm requires reviewing previous chapters. The final exam focuses on the last half after the midterm, so pay attention and take notes; plus, there is an attendance bonus!

Do well on the Connect assignments/study for the midterm and final; you should do well in the course. His notes and Connect practice questions are effective. There is an attendance bonus, so make sure to attend the classes. Great professor!

Great professor. Gets off topic sometimes but other than that he is definitely a well rounded professor. Take him if you have the chance. Make sure to attend his lectures, you get a bonus mark at the end of the semester for attendance.

Great Professor who wants his students to do well. Extremely reasonable when it comes to marking. Midterm was fairly easy, while the final exam was a bit difficult. Make sure you attend his lectures as attendance is bonus marks.

Bro is sigma skibidi I'd take him again fr

Be careful of the final but if you well before that even the final wont tank your grade too bad

He's not that bad

Connect assignment carries plus he boosts the final

Although attendance isn't mandatory, he offers an extra 5% if you attend all 10 lectures! The online midterm was mostly based on MyLab questions, so pay attention to those assignments leading up to that exam. The in-person final was actually easier than the midterm in my opinion. I studied last minute and still managed to get a B.

Not as bad as everyone says lol plus he curves grades

ECN 204 with Eslami is not too hard of a class if you stay on task and don't leave work for later because it does built up. He's nice, and accessible outside of class. Course has online assignments/quizzes for each chapter, they're not hard. Don't recommend getting lazy, work gets lengthy and more complicated. Ask questions, attendance mandatory.

Good teacher. Explains content well and provides good notes. Bumps grades up a lot.

The 1-star ratings are too dramatic. He's a passionate guy, and getting a B or above is not hard. You just actually have to put in the work. If you email him, he will reply with good feedback, but not if it's a stupid question that he's already answered like 20 times. Yes, he gets off topic a little, but he's not god awful like people are saying.

The course itself is challenging, but the professor curves the final grade by increasing the weight of attendance from 5% to 15% if you attend all class, which really helps boost your final average. A nice professor would take him again.

Keyvan Eslami will initially seem like a bad professor, but he wants every student to pass and has increased the attendance bonus from 5% to 15%. He's a kind grader, and you should get him. Prepare to self-study quite a lot, though.

Goat made attendance worth 30% as a bonus mark went from 50 to 80

Don't listen to the bad reviews even though he's not the best lecturer and made the midterm lockdown browser he boosted everyone a ton and most people ended up doing really well

a challenging course obviously, but he tries his very best to explain concepts, you just have to focus. he also curves the grade significantly at the end

This professor has been considered tough overall based on his homework assignments, proctored midterm and final exam, if I'm going to be transparent. Though he curves significantly after the final exam and he has good intentions to make sure that his students study and prepare them for the future. He doesn't deserve the low rating imo

Attend Every Class! Not to pay attention but for the attendance bonus. Keyvan's midterm was lockdown browser while Kam's section was not. The midterm and final were super difficult, but Keyvan kindly boosted the attendance bonus from 5 percent to 30 percent! It boosted me from a 60 to a 90 percent. Making this my best grade. So take him and attend!

ignore the negative comments it's from everyone that's heard kam's class is only getting tested on four chapters for the final. he boosted everyone's grades super super high at the end. he's a nice guy and cares ab his students wanting them to do well!

So I was supposed to fail the course but he actually boosted everyone's mark so I went from a F to a C+. He cares about his students and ignore any negative comments here. Take HIM if all other options has been exhausted. Also he gives a bonus 5 percent if u attend every class.

bless this guy. i failed the final and still ended with a 4.0

Best professor ever! He really cares about students and his lectures never get boring!

Just took his final for ECN 204 today! This professor is extremely nice, and goes out of his way to ensure his students succeed. Unfortunately, I was placed in an online section, which made it difficult for me to learn. He is extremely knowledgeable about Macroeconomics, and is one of the best professors I've witnessed over my years.

Great prof for macro. He explains concepts clearly and uses simple whiteboard notes that actually help. The course can feel tough, but he's very fair with grading, drops low assignments, gives bonus marks, and adjusts attendance to support students. You can tell he genuinely cares and doesn't want anyone to fall behind. Def take him for macro.

Great prof class is engaging. Final is impossible, but he will curve it. Ultimately, rely on the textbook becuase he dosnt talk about everything in the lecture.

This professor is very nice and an inspiring speaker in macroeconomics. His lectures were interesting as he oriented students to each new chapter. But, you had to read more (his notes and the textbook), to prepare for assignments and exams, which was both helpful and stimulating. He cared about his students and wanted them to succeed
