worst than cahouu

Mean teacher, he has too many business to do so no time to prepare for classes.

I had him a long time ago (SP00 I think), I see he hasn't improved, clown

not good!

son of a biiiitch! that's what all i have to say. he didn't teach us anything but laplace. How are we going to get jobs??? ASYRIAN RULES!!!

worst teacher EVER!!! not very helpful. do not, i repeat, DO NOT ever, i mean EVER, take his class. never ever ever never never never ever ever never. Take moriarty or kurzweil instead. PERSIANS RULE

Late for class half the time, the other half of the semester not showing up at all, make your schedule flexible so you can make up the lost time some "other day", his grading system employs “double jeopardy” rule, you’ve got it wrong in the first problem the avalanche will overwhelm you.

yeah, he is still teching, but the world would be better off with his retirement. you have to rrrrecognize that he does not give MEEEKY MOUSE tests, plus i don't think he even knows what 112 is really about. do not take him. he may buy you donuts, but he will later pull them out of your ass in final

There is no doubt that Ghadiri is a very smart professor who knows his stuff. But he can not teach. And what good is it for a smart professor who can not get his idea across to this students? Avoid him if you can!

He even does not know the material. Some students are more knowledgable than him.

He is the worst professor I had ever seen in my life...doesnt have any knowledge...always late to the class...his exams are too hard..I dont think even he knows how to do them..he was 40 min late to final..and gave us only 1hr45min final instead of 2 hr 15min..dont ever take him and ruin yr interest in the subject..

Bait and switch. If I'd only known...worst EE prof I've had yet. Brilliant man (so it seems), but can't teach for beans. We spent 45min one day trying to understand an example, and he would just repeat the problem, over and over, no new explanations. Pulled a fast one on the midterm, too. Told us to study certain things, then tested on others.

Whenever you see the name Koshrow Ghadiri you are in hell! Avoid him at all cost even that is meant to wait for another semester. Totally pain in my ass kind of guy. This guy is totally not belong to sjsu. Avoid him even if he is giving free lecture on the street like a homeless guy. Any question^99999

This guy can't teach both EE 140 and EE 102 classes. This guy doesn't belong to SJSU. His examples don't help. He only makes your GPA bad. Avoid him.

Worst Professor of Electrical Engineering Department. Must Avoid him, if you can. I learn nothing from his class.

please avoid this professor as much as u can. If it is a do or die situation then only take the course.....try to avoid him.....

Prof. Ghadiri sure knows a lot about EE but knows jack about teaching! I learned more about history and his personal life than the class material. He was always late for class 10-15 mins. Never updated his website in a timely fashion. Don't waste your time attending his lectures, his exams are selective problems from hw's and sample exams.

The worse teacher in Engineering. He should be fired if he didn't own Maple Press. Bought a book that he wrote and printed from maple press and it's filled with mistakes. The guy doesn't even have a PhD! I would rather pay for an extra semester and delay graduation if I had known. Believe everything your fellow classmates are saying about this guy.

Very difficult to understand. Is not clear on expectations. Doesnt seem interested in teaching the class.

HE does not have clarity with subject. Too partial. Makes you buy his own study material. Too bad..

Probably the worst teacher ive had at sjsu and also my junior college for that matter. Very disorganized despite having two TA's. Thick accent and poor grammatical English skills. Never actually explains a problem step by step in logical progression, just jumps from topic to topic in a very scattered manner. MyDAQs were never explained how to use.

The absolute worst teacher I have ever had. He is incredibly rude to students and barely lectures at all, yet expects you to know everything. Avoid this teacher at all costs to save your sanity and patience.

Ghadiri is the worst teacher I've had during my time at SJSU. He does not teach the course material. Instead, he makes us watch online videos that have no relation to the class. If you can't avoid Ghadiri, I recommend teaching yourself from the textbook and showing up to class only to take the quizzes (which he does not prepare you for).

Ghadiri cares about the students, yet lacks the ability to effectively teach a huge class. The Spring 2014 pilot course (online and inclass) failed to educate the majority of the class. Ghadiri has mastery of the material. Don't necessarily avoid ghadiri. Avoid the hybrid EE98 class at all costs! Ask your advisor which section is the hybrid class!

Ghadiri's class is a complete joke. I genuinely hate his class. My hopes were very high at the beginning of the semester, but he very quickly killed them with his terrible lectures, disorganized classroom management, laziness with composure, among many other issues. I cannot think of one single thing I like about Ghadiri or his class. DO NOT TAKE!

He speaks vaguely in class. Highly unorganized. Wouldn't recommend if you have got options.

Horrible lectures. topics taught not related to exams. Vague explanations. Not helpful with questions. Highly unorganized. assignments and quizzes not considered for grading. No clear grading criteria. makes students to buy his own material. Overall very bad experience. Better to drop the class even if there is no other option. not worth the risk.

Useless

The worst SJSU professor ever. He speak vaguely. His lecture is unorganized, and it is not related to exam. The worst thing is he won't send you study material until the day of exam. Also, he never prepare the lecture, all material is copied from somewhere with mistake. You must study on your own, or you should avoid him at any cost.

Worst professor in the EE dept. Very disorganized and doesn't follow the syllabus. Barely gives examples, just concepts. So he recommends to buy his practice manual (btw, he owns the printing company). His exams are tricky or follow trivial concepts barely mentioned in class. Also, spends half the class talking about how great he is. Avoid him!!

one word prepare to read and except suprises in exams

Good course taken by not so good professor, highly disorganized presentations marred with heaps of errors in the lecture slides. Professor does not help in making us to understand the concepts. Even gives a bad grade for the better performance in the tests. An overall disappointing class

Frequently goes off on a tangent, which leads to late dismissal. Assigns random homework and then forgets about it. Lectures are too theoretical. Doesn't allow calculators on the exams. Formula sheets given on exams are useless. Exam problems do not resemble any of the several problem sets that are sent. Doesn't use Canvas. Avoid Ghadiri!

I turned in 8 lab reports this semester nad one midterm. The only grade he gave back was the first report. He also doesnt use canvas, so you cant check your grade. I learned so little in his lab and felt so miserable that I actually reconsidered doing engineering. Please avoid this man

Avoid at all costs. Lectures are scrambled and have no logical order. Exam covers topics not discussed in class. Formula sheet for final was missing 9 out of 10 formulas that we needed. Project was to find a way for him to win the lottery. This class is an absolute disaster.

DO NOT TAKE. The syllabus isn't followed once so ever. He has absolutely no ability to convey topics. Imagine someone writing down a formula and then just reading the variables out loud. Exams are completely unpredictable with concepts he never talked about. He never emails homework assignments on time, and sends needed info the day before exams

I don't understand why the university bothers to pay this guy a salary. He is inefficient at teaching, and only he himself knows his grading policies. Do not expect to learn under him, and only expect him to ruin your chances to ever succeed in life. People like "Professor Ghadiri" are an abomination to the education system.

Bad at teaching although wants to teach, but very bad grader and very bad teacher... Used minority clause to stay in college.

Terrible professor. Midterm had nothing to do with anything he taught. Doesn't give clear instructions on lab.

Awful professor, not sure why he teaches at all. You should avoid taking him if you can.

Awful professor, would waste a quarter of every lab talking about random stuff and was unclear about anything. Grades were unknown till the very last day of the semester as he keeps everything except lab reports. Avoid if possible.

Avoid this professsor at all cost! Unclear grading criteria, hard midterms and final. You don't know your grade until it's posted online.

Don't take this professor for EE 97.

Please skip this professor as much as you can. To avoid the bad situation of your student life.

Extremely hard class. The labs/reports were relatively easy. However, the test and final are not. Make sure to understand EVERYTHING if you want to pass. The tests are very unpredictable so study all the labs and remember the equations as well!

He immediately told us not to ask him any questions concerning lab then encourages questions a week later. His accent makes it hard to understand what he's saying that might have been "beneficial" for midterm and final and threatens to give you zero if you ask him any questions during the midterm/final.

WORST PROFESSOR AT SJSU. This guy does not know how to speak to students at all. If you ask him a question/help, he will literally yell at you for not knowing how to do it and says you had the whole semester to learn. Good Luck on Lab 8 because none of the parts work and passing it is all luck. If every group is having trouble, maybe its your fault

Labs are relatively easy, just follow the rubicons for full points. The last lab, number 8, is BS. Spent six class sessions to hear him say "your circuit is wronged" each time I asked for help. Extremely rude in mannerism and tone. Only one midterm. Currently waiting for the final in two weeks. Grade went from 85 to 79 with out lab 8.

The material itself can be hard as it is the fundamentals of circuitry, but he was no help. His instructions werent very clear and when you did ask for help, he would be very condescending. He expects you to know the subject even though it is an introductory course. At least he grades fairly as he follows a rubric. Expect to google everything.

By far the WORST professor in all departments. Midterms worth 20% Final worth 30% Don't depend on canvas for your grade, you'll end up with a different grade.

Totally unreasonable and rude at times- would scold you in front of class. He has a clear grading rubric that you should follow if you want to get good grades on his lab reports - granted that you get signed off in the first place. The first labs were pretty easy and simple, but after lab 6 - oh dam you better prep before attending class.

Bad at communicating. Speaking to him during the lab was difficult but you had to ask for help if u wanted to finish. His directions and test questions can be vague. For the final he said no questions/clarification. Class material was not difficult in my opinion. He makes the class way harder to pass with his bad teaching/exams. Follow the rubrics

One of the worst professors in the entire school, he is the only person that teaches this course. The labs were manageable as they weren't too difficult, but if you needed help he'd be extremely rude with helping you. Grading for his exams was very unfair as he would give no partial credit even if you had the concepts right.

This is guaranteed the worst professor at San Jose State. Even states that he is retiring and doesn't care what students think of him. He was horrible for lecture, and would refuse to help you during lab because he states that he tells you everything you needed in the lecture for the lab. Take it at a community college if possible.

Rude guy. Just unnecessarily, profoundly, exceedingly rude. My advice: either switch your major (not joking!) or take the class at a community college. How this guy is not fired yet is beyond me.

Reconsider your major if you have to take this man. Unhelpful when it comes to advice and will often just do the experiment for you with no explanation leaving you confused. Better off just going to take this class in community college and suffering these instead, at least you can redo your class or just not submit the class grade if you did bad.

Has a lab every week that often takes several hours or more due to unclear directions and needing approval from him. Unless you are an experienced electrician or know how to build circuits, expect the need to go to other lab periods that could conflict with your schedule. Exams are dependent on knowledge of the circuits built in the labs.

Insaaaaane. I had an A all semester and after putting in final grades I ended with a D. Ridiculously unfair grading and SJSU needs to offer more than one professor to teach this course. Final grade will make or break you.

Terrible professor, do not make the mistake of taking EE97 at SJSU and just take it at mission college. Good luck!

Half the equipment doesn't work properly so you don't know if you made the circuit wrong or did it right with bad components/wires. He might insult you or get angry if you ask for help depending on how he's feeling that day. You'll have to come in outside of hours bc he doesn't give enough time in class to finish labs.

Easy class made difficult by his midterm and final he gives no partial credit for. You really need to come during other lab sessions to stand a chance at finishing the lab, however reports skeletons and prelabs are freebies. Also his mood was NOT the greatest, if you can take this and EE98 at a CC and transfer the credit.

I wouldn't say the exams are hard, but its basically remembering every single detail of the lab reports and manuals. He even said himself that you just have to predict what will be on it. So you kinda just luck out on what you remember. Reports are easy but the guy is kinda rude. Luckily the reports make up half your grade which helps

This honestly is the worst professor I have ever had. The exams that make up majority of your grade are barely related to the concepts covered in the labs. The labs can take 15+ hours a week in some cases due to lack of equipment available. The equipment doesn't work and he will yell at you or insist it works when it clearly isn't useable.

Only one teacher for this course. Lab reports aren't difficult but the midterm and final will definitely lower your grade if you don't memorize the concepts on the lab manual. Don't take this professor. I would recommend a EE97 class at Mission College according to others

The professor often spends at least 30 minutes at the start of each class lecturing on material that isn't helpful. Labs frequently require extra time outside of scheduled hours to complete, and the exams are poorly designed. After the midterm, lab partners were switched randomly, but one student was allowed to choose their new group somehow.

He's not a professor that will go easy on you. I hate the fact that there is only one professor that is teaching EE 97. Lab reports are fine but midterm and final will definitely change your grade.

This is the only professor, and it's a no-no for me. Writing lab reports and reading the lab manual are very different from what we do during midterm and final exams. I think it takes a lot of effort to pass the exams, and I just completely screw it up. Make sure you use extra lot of time studying for exams. Professor won't be lenient with grading.

Midterm and final were nothing like the lab work or reports. He does 1 day review on a Saturday to give examples from the exams. However, attendance is not mandatory and he doesn't mention that's it's for the exam. Worst professor ever.
