Knows his stuff but horrible teacher that's all I have to say.

He is lazy lazy lazy. He just wanna show off about the things he know. He dosn't care about students and he loves making you look stuiped. School are short on staff and thats why they are keeping him around.

This guy sucks balls I went to lecture twice the entire semester and I still got a B in the class. Could have gotten an A if I had gone to class because 10% of your grade is attendance(bull crap) Tests are open book(buy old edition because he doesn't care). The only problem is that they cover like 15 chapters so finding the answers takes a while.

Grades just came out. In both classes he is teaching there was only one A. He is stuiped and lier. If you go to his office he tells you that he will reward you by giving you the full 10% on attendence when he gives that to everbdy anyway. Even the people droped or didn't show up to class got 10% on attendence. He sucks big time. Try to take Grote.

AVOID THIS GUY AT ALL COSTS. NOT WORTH IT> He will ask you 10 questions that he randomly picks out of like 6 chapters. Just horrible and he really does love making you feel stupid. i.e. He shows a picture of a car frame, students say "It's a car frame." He will answer, "It's the frame of a car!!" He is just an idiot so avoid him at all costs!

This guy has a bad accent. He can't teach anything and he changes his mind every five seconds. His test are ridiculous and impossible even with the book everything is a trick question. No HW just an AutoCAdd drawing a mid term and a final.

Everyone will get a C no matter how hard you try

This guy has his head so far up his ass I seriously doubt he could pull it out even if he used both hands. His class is ridiculously boring because he just reads to you from the text book. There is 1 project and 2 exams. The exams are open book but extremely hard. This man believes an A student is a C student. Don't expect to get an A!

This guy is real piece of work. Or a workpiece as I'd like to call him. I scored in the top 6th of the class for test scores and he gave me a C. He has an obvious short-man complex and gets temperamental with his students. Not a very encouraging learning environment. If you ask a question his first response will be to try and ridicule you. Garbage!

This is the worst parasite dwelling in the public school system to date. Typical mis-management of public funds. He knows nothing about the subject and does not even try to hide. He is happy to have the power of abuse and very much aware that he can get away with it.

This "professor" is the rudest person on csulb campus. He is very cocky and think he knows everything. He WILL discourage you to quit being an engineer, and you cant possibly ask this man a question without him coming back at you with a stupid story and answer about how you dont pay attention and other bs.

Avoid at all cost. Easily the worst teacher I've ever had. This would be an interesting class with a competent professor but he makes it horrible. Does not curve. First test average was 50%. Does not return homework or midterms so you never know what you did wrong. Doesn't even seem to know the material very well - or at least can't teach it.

Absolutely terrible, this guy harasses students, doesn't teach, is rude, and is unhelpful. All he does is read the book, tell you to read the book, and gets frustrated if you don't understand and ask for help. The college of engineering well as DSS is investigating him at the moment because of all the complaints. How is he still a teacher?

TERRIBLE TEACHER!!! You DO NOT have to take him for MAE272! Find it at a different college, it's worth the commute! El Camino College offers it! Engineering Technology-16! Awesome teacher!

This is the worst teacher on campus, he doesn't tell you anything when you ask him a question, expects you to figure it out somehow. Never returns any assignments back so you don't know how your doing in the class until the end of the year when he submits grades. His test are all trick questions...CSULB needs to find another teacher.

Avoid this professor at all class. He is horrible at teaching and finds every opportunity to degrade and discourage students. The lectures consist of pictures from the book that you can "read on your own". Also there are only three grades in the class which makes it very difficult to pass. If you can take the class over summer with Yavari.

Intelligent teacher, but hard to learn from. His accent doesn't help either. Very hard to contact outside of class. Has office hours but no office room number, not even on the syllabus. How am I suppose to find him? He says email is the best way to contact him, but either doesn't respond to emails or responds a week later. Overall, not a good prof.

Honestly I don't know what to say about this professor. The regular lectures were very boring, considering it was him talking about powerpoints from the book, which were easily found online and wasted time. Labs were fun. What killed it for me is the trick-question tests, and the grading. He has no info on grades online. Not reccomended.

Stay away!!!

Genuinely terrible teacher, do not take him. There's one rate on here that says that his toughness makes you better. It doesn't. He's a hard grader and is more concerned over if he likes you than if you did well in the class. If you can avoid him, do so.

The reason that there are few ratings for this teacher's class is because everyone agrees that there must be negative ratings on RMP for him and doesn't even try posting here. I'm here to tell you dear god DEAR GOD he is terrible. If there is another professor teaching this class take it but Yavari is leaving so, that's sad. Prepare to get a C.

Calls students his prisoners and himself the warden Analogy is reflected on his disrespectful attitude he has towards us Won't help you operate the machining tools but instead judge you for "not taking good enough notes" Is vague with his expectations, which are very high btw Wants you to be resourceful, but won't answer questions about work topic

Avoid at all costs if you can, but if you can't, it would be good if you read the textbook. The tests are open book, so knowing where the information is is very helpful. That being said, he puts the most specific information on the tests, so if you can read the book, DO IT. There's just a project and the 3 tests, so make sure you actually study.

Try not to take him because he does not teach during lecture. He doesn't repeat himself and doesn't give clear criteria. You don't know what your grade is the whole semester because he doesn't post any grades. Not to mention he is very demeaning towards students. He has unrealistically high expectations for his students when this is an intro class.

"this is a two unit class but you will be doing 6 unit class work - and half of you will fail" first thing he said in class

Genuinely feel bad for anyone who takes this guy. First day of class he tells us that he's a warden and we're his prisoners and I laughed because I thought it was just a joke. I'm not laughing now.

I don't understand why he's the only MAE 272 teacher at CSULB! His lectures arent as helpful for the test and often time the test don't make sense at all. Every point counts even if you're one point from passing you'll fail. He's very disrespectful and rude to his students that doesn't help with learning the material at all. Worse professors ever!

Khang Hoang-Vu is an interesting person. He had very dry humor, making his lectures difficult to sit through. Vu does not grade on time; He's yet to grade an assignment I turned in 7 weeks ago. His exams are like riddles, so even though they're open note, it's hard to do well.

Didn't grade assignments on time and did not provide individual feedback for the assignments. Exams are open book. Gives extra questions on exams to help with grade but still quite difficult. You're on your own for the assignments. He doesn't really answer any questions and is rude when replying to students.

Your grade is 100% test-based. Most questions do not pertain to what was taught in class if being taught in class was even possible. Very rude when responding to students and constant reminders about how we are going to be mindless Chinese factory workers if we don't read his 1500-page textbook. Good luck!

This dude straight up sucks. Never take him, he is racist, sexist, and just plain mean for no reason. He hates every student that speaks up in class, and especially hates when they are correct when answering a question. He doesn't know anything about manufacturing in the 21st century, and I hate even looking at him after now after 2 years ago.

Rudest professor I've ever had. I recommend not taking his class. Class is all exam based. I was able to pass but studying for his midterms feels pointless because he tests you on sections that have not been covered yet. Stay updated on his exam dates because he does not mention them or send out announcements.

Famous professor!

Most people in the class learned from a previous student who had taken the class already. A doc with all the material was a saving grace.

Vu represents everything wrong with CSULB. A lazy professor who manages to take an interesting course and turn it into something that feels like a chore rather than something you want to learn. Above the nonsense, stale lectures, and confusing directions, Vu is just a straight up liar. It genuinely feels like he is in his own world at times.

racist and sexist, started the semester off with 30 students, only 4 people were left by the end

Avoid

Terrible guy in general do not waist your tuition on him

DONT TAKE HIM, very bad made me hate engineering. 2 unit class but gave hw worth for a 4 unit class. its all reading. he wouldnt round up my 69 to a 70. avoid him but take mahdi during the summer, so much better and i acc learned stuff

This dude is outta pocket sometimes but bro is funny sometimes but your whole entire grade is based on like 4 tests. The questions never make sense and throws curveball questions at you.

js take this class at a cc over the summer or something. he's pretty funny tho ngl, js be cooking his students lmao

this dude should not be a professor.

As others have said he regularly says racist comments and snide remarks. Don't trust the syllabus. Only exams count toward grade, no lab. He breezes through the sides during lectures and doesn't even post them on canvas making exams even harder. One good thing is that the whole class is worth 100pts, so you need a total of 70 from all the exams.

Take over the summer with a different prof! He is such a rude prof. As a person who isn't very comfortable asking questions in class he makes it 10x harder in doing so. He will never repeat himself, expects you to know a lot, and is intimidating. Honestly he should really retire. Need more profs to teach this course during fall/spring semester.
