I love her...she is so funny and as long as you do the homework you will get an A or B on the tests. See explains most things, and has little quirky things that make class funny.
She has a temper, and doesn't want to help you even if you come in to her office. I do not reccomend her for any class! Take anyone else.
She grades harshly, but also teaches the subject very well. Students are upset that she is 'too mean' or something when she is really very nice to them and just wants to ensure that they learn the subject at hand.
I loved her! She is so funny and cute. She makes sure that everybody understands the lesson and if not will go over it until you do. For our stats class she let us make cheat sheets for our tests which were very helpful. I enjoyed her class very much.
As a whole the class was alright. The downside was the group work, but my partner did all of it because I have horrible handwriting. Also she collects homework. You can use notes on the tests. Usually get out around 30 minutes early. Cute personality.
good teacher, a little unclear at times. She is a fair grader and cares if her students pass the class.
Has an accent. Sometimes hard to understand. Cute way of teaching though.
Her stats class is taught clearly and well-organized. She uses great examples to make sure you understand and you work with a partner. Professor Rahnamaie is a tiny little lady with an accent and has the cutest personality, it's hard not to adore her!
Unclear,annoying,and harsh grader.Don't take her!
she teaches the subject very in depth, takes it further than the book. but she teaches very well and ensures you know it. do all the homework and be there for the lectures, and you'll do fine. Also, her test are long and often take longer than the scheduled time. final took some 6 hours +.
great teacher,so funny someitmes "nah, nah nah." always helpful, uses as many examples as possible to help you underrstand. do the homework, quizzes come from those, and she goes over problems that will be on the test! if you do your work, and try hard, an A is hard to miss.
She was hilarious. I loved this class. She made the subject matter very easy to understand. She really cares how well you do and won't go n until you understand the material. I highly reccomend taking her for statistics. Just do the homework and the group work and you will get at least a B.
she is very un organized...doesnt do with re-explaining problems...rushes through work...very difficult class. she tends to confuse herself, and not know what is happening...not a good teacher
she is really nice but her class is not the easiest- like every other class you need to work for your grade. if you show that you care she likes it- do the homework keep up with her and you will be fine! but dont expect for an easy A or B if u are planning to F around! take her she is cool!
She moves along quickly...the class itself was hard, but in all honesty, u get the grade u deserve. the harder u work, the better your great. if you slack off...don't expect a great grade.
She is a great teacher, but can move quickly make sure you ask for help. She does great examples, you just have to do the work. It's not an easy class if you don't do the work.
Professor Rhanamaie does a great job teaching everything very clearly, and is always willing to help you one-on-one.
Very good teacher. Even though the tests can be challenging for some, if you show up to class and do the homework you will not have any problems.
I think this has been my easiest math class because she is so good at teaching it. Gives a lot of partial credit on tests and quizzes. Go to every class and do the homework and youll be fine.
Great teacher. has hard tests if you don't know the stuff. if you listen, AND DO THE HOMEWORK!!!! you will ace. im got a D cuz i didnt study but she is the best math teacher I have ever had. dont take if you dont want to study. otherwise she is great. 2 quizzes a week. do homework
Who would think that calculus could be fun and interesting? Mrs.Rahnamaie teaches very clearly and uses lots of helpful examples. she goes over the material that will be on the tests in detail, you just need to do your homework, because most of the tests are based on problems similar to homework problems. I highly recommend professor Rahnamaie!
THE BEST MATH TEACHER IN THE PLANET!!! VERY HELPFUL AND FUN. MAKES CALCULUS FUN AND INTERESTING. DOENST BORED YOU! EXPLAINS THE PROBLEMS EXPLICITELY AND GOES OVER TEST RELATED MATERIAL. IF YOU DO HOMEWORK AND LISTEN THEN YOU WILL DO FINE!! FIND WAYS TO MAKE YOU LEARN THE MATERIAL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THIS CLASS!!!
Good teacher, knows the material. Very fair, will help you if you need extra help. She's smart-youll get the grade you deserve. and shes so sweet.
Easily the best math teacher I've ever had. Extemely clear and concise. Examples are relevant to test material...goes over each section of the test the day of the test. Couldn't ask for more in a math teacher. Funny, extremely intelligent and kind...Highly recommended!
She is an amazing woman/teacher: you can go to her with ANY problem and she will help. It seems like it is her passion to help students really grasp math. She is HILARIOUS in class, has the cutest accent, and I SWEAR she is a human calculator!! It's just... wrong... Last, her tests are EXACTLY what we do in class- no surprises.
She's a good teacher, I would take another math class from her. If you don't understand accents very well I would avoid taking a class from her. I understood the material pretty well, just do the homework problems all over again before the test it will be helpful review. Don't hestitate to ask her questions in class or out of class, shes helpful.
This woman absolutely lives and breathes calculus! She is an amazing teacher, very helpful and clear (she also has a great personality and is hilarious,which makes class fun). Her tests are difficult so make sure you do the homework. If you ever need help, she is more than willing to help you one-on-one after class or during office hours.
She is a very nice teacher but a little hard to understand sometimes. If you have not taken math in years then this class is not bad at all. Cheat sheets on all tests!
I swear she wrote those herself. sweet woman and passionate about the subject but if you do not have time to dedicate to this class...be cautious. her tests really make you apply calc.you'll learn a lot but it is a lot of work. "just think about it" & don't slack off...& remember "you learned it in second grade"
Excellent teacher. If anybody wants to learn calculus smoothely take with her. She have good knowledge about calculus. Her exams are fair. If you like to do work hard,then definitely get an A's in this class!!
These other people are crazy! Don't take her! her personality is anything but cute, it's plain annoying and her class is horrible. AVOID!!!
Very methodic in regards to explaining new material. Not too much homework, but her tests are torture, so study. Nice personality and fun. Attending class is crucial because a lot of material is covered. She kind of lets you down if you ask a question that SHE considers dumb, because like she loves to say, "this is from fourth grade".
Assigns and collects homework, also has group work worth a couple points EVERY CLASS SESSION. The tests are easy and the homework doesn't take long at least. Allows for a good amount of extra credit at the end of the semester as well. IMPORTANT: If you don't have one already, buy a TI-83+ graphing calculator for this class and LEARN TO USE IT.
dont take her if you are a slacker. she assigns homework everyday, 3 tests and a ginormous final. shes adorable, funny, a little weird but smart.makes the subject a little less torturing.overall a great math teacher ..shes a human calculator.
This teacher is remarkble. do not hazitate, take her. she is extremley clear and funny. brilliant, I have not seen a person as smart as she is.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE DISRESPECTED BY ANY TEACHER IN MY WHOLE LIFE. SHE DOESNT UNDERSTATND COMPUTERS OR CALCULATORS. IF MATH WASNT HARD TO LEARN, TRY TO LEARN A WAY 2 UNDERSTAND WHAT SHES SAYING B/C SHE HAS WORST ACCENT EVER. I WENT 2 EVERY CLASS DID EVERY HOMEWORK AND STILL GOT A "D" . THIS IS THE ONLY CLASS OUT OF 3 YEARS OF COLLEGE I REPEATED
she is brilliant. human calculator and i am glad i took her class. she is a freakin whiz at math. she does bring you down a little when you say something that she thinks is dumb. she wont feel bad for saying" were you not watching me?" in that hilarious accent. "This is from fourth grade"
very nice lady but treats the class like its a kindergarten class or middle school class. A bit weird at times. Its hard to understand her because of her accent when teaching. She cares for her students and their progress in the class.
She assigns a lot of HW which is to be turned in. Her tests can be very challenging if you aren't prepared. The occasional take home 'quiz', but she makes sure it's a hard one. Overall, good teacher but excessive work required to pass.
She is a GREAT teacher. Her class is tough, but isnt a college class supposed to be tough? She really cares about her students and is always willing to give extra help. Her grading is totally fair. Shes not an "easy A". but if you really want to understand math from one of the smartest teachers ever i suggest you take her class.
I loved this professor! She sticks to the syllabus so you always know what needs to be done. She assigns hw every class but they are due the day of the test. You have to come to every class because she assigns groupwork for points every day. She's very funny & explains everything very thoroughly and answers and questions you have.
shes a small witty lady. very intellegent but what math major isnt right? her class is very difficult. if you want to learn the material shes great just be prepared for hours of studying a week.
Accepted the whole wait list then complained about how crowded the class was. Assigns seats! The first seat I have been assigned since I was 7 years old. Had to sit in the back because She dosen't check emails that I would miss one class. She said she thought I dropped! Then gives me the "grown up" speech. Grown ups check emails and communicate.
Professor Rahnamaie is amazing. This class is definitely hard but if you don't slack and study you'll do just fine. She is brilliant but really if you are all about taking the easy way out take a different teacher. She takes the whole waitlist because more than half the class drops because they don't want to work hard. Over all a great teacher!
She's really nice and helpful. Do the homework and study for the tests and you should do fine. The class was fun.
LOVED HER! She is absolutely fantastic! Super animated and super funny, but aside from that, an amazing teacher! She explains everything crystal clear in an efficiant way. You can use a page of notes on each test and 2 pages on final. There is HW but it is super easy! Also offers extra credit! Do it all, and you'll get an A for sure!
cutest lady in the world, but her class is EXTREMELY difficult! there is group work everyday, so you must be in class everyday. Most of her tests are very hard, so make you sure either study everyday or get a tutor! (i am re-taking her class in the fall it was that hard!)
Rude teacher. Will belittle you if you ask questions. I don't pay for college to be treated like crap.
The summer class is not easy, but if you do all the homework and pay attention to the 'special problems', you will be prepared for the tests.
She is the best teacher i have ever had!!! She is extremely helpful and uses great examples to help make the material more understandable. Really easy to get an A if you do HW and pay attention!!! TAKE HER!!!
nice, straight forward, very smart. study, ask questions, do the homework, you should be fine.
she is an interesting teacher...shes really crazy and nice but she is the hardest stat teacher at moorpark. if you are taking stat only because it is required, DO NOT take her, she is soooo hard and you must go to class every single day or it will hurt you in the end more than you think.
She is amazing. Instructions are very clear. Recommend taking her if you have struggled with math in the past.
She is honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. Her style of teaching is so clear and helpful. She's crazy fun and very entertaining; she is a true genius. If I needed any more math, I'd take it all with her. Math is not at all my forte, but she made it very enjoyable. Quite possibly the best teacher I have had at Moorpark. Take her!
Super hard class. Tons of work and you will be lucky to get a C. One cheat sheet per test and some extra credit problems. Class work every day.
Very amusing little lady! she lets you have a cheat sheet for all tests, but keep reviewing them throughout the semester, final is cummulative and very pain in the ass hard. took 3 1/2 hours, and i somehow got a d on it, despite getting a's on all my tests...not really sure how that works...
Super cute lady. Real funny, and personable. Makes class fun and less stressful. I would recommend her to any and everyone.
Highly recommend this teacher! She's a cute little lady that is very entertaining and explains things extremely well. She allows a formula sheet on the test and gives alot of chances to get extra credit. Only negative is she sometimes keeps you later then she should...but overall great!
I LOVE HER! She is super helpful, but is hard. It is my second year and I now it is my fault. She explains everything well. If you APPLY yourself you get a B/A. There is a lot of work, but totally helpful for the tests. One of my Fave of all time! SHE IS FUNNY and CUTE!
She is the BEST professor I have had in my college experience. I just wanted to get through college until I took her class!
Anyone who has trouble in math, she is a great teacher for you. She explains everything very clearly, and makes it fun and easy. She is super nice and funny. I would recommend her to anyone taking stats
She is the BEST teacher ever!! extremely helpful and really does care about her students. If you take the time to understand the material you will pass. I wish I could take her every semester for every subject, she is the best and she makes me want to go to class!
AT FIRST SHE SEEMED INTIMIDATING, BUT SHES NOT AT ALL. SHES FUNNY, AND VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD, BREAK THINGS DOWN WITH HER OWN NOTES SO TAKE GOOD NOTES AND YOU'LL DO GREAT. DO ALL THE WORK AND SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE POINTS. GIVES SOME EXTRA CREDIT, GREAT TEACHER!
She was a very good teacher. She was funny and very entertaining. You will have to work for an A in her class but its worth it. Her test were hard but reasonable. She is extremely smart and she will go out of her way to help you. DEFINITELY recommend her for any class. She brought See's Candies for us two times.
BEST teacher. shes amazing and i loved her class. I ended up with an A and she doesnt give quizes her test are hard but ok if you study definately take her! she explains the material very well =]
This is the best teacher I have ever had. She teaches! What I mean is she will take the information you are learning and re explain it in a way that makes it easy to understand. She also has a voice and accent that you would want to hear read you a bed time story!
Best. Professor. Ever. I love this woman. Funny as hell and a good teacher to boot. If you need help she will bend over backwards to do so. She is not the easiest professor to take, but you will learn well if you put in a moderate amount of effort. I miss Professor Rahnamaie.
Be careful with this teacher, she's very clear while she's teaching and her instructions are relatively easy to follow, but if you're uncertain and have a general question, prepare to be refused help, because this is what she did to me throughout the entire semester.
If your going to take Statistics I recommend her! She is very helpful and wants you to pass. Unless your a genius you should do the homework and study some and you'll pass. Lays out what you have to do the first day of class. Nice, funny lady who keeps the class smiling. Great at teaching and is Incredible at math! Great Teacher!!
Great Professor! She is basically a genius. She will always help you. If you follow along in class you will do well on the test. She is funny. I actually looked forward to going to Stats.
EXCELLENT
I took this class over summer school, not realizing the hell on earth i just entered. From the first day the class was showered with fear and suffering as she told us that we should probably drop the class because there is no way we can pass it without doing excess amounts of homework (being 6 to 7 hours a night). And she never answered questions
This woman's life is calculus, if it is not your life as well then you will fail the class. There are excessive amounts of homework, and if you don't understand it, she will not help you to understand it. I've never taken a class that the entire time I was scared I was going to fail it. The other ratings are deceiving. Save yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hardest class I've ever taken at moorpark. Rahnamaie was the most unhelpful teacher I've ever had. Excessive amounts of homework, and if you miss one day of class you will have no idea what's going on. I find that ridiculous
I would highly recommend avoiding her. I ignored the reviews and I regret it. She gives u 3 exams and a final, good luck doing well if you happen to get one bad grade. Excessive hw. Horribly designed exams. She is a cute little teacher like everyone says but thats it, not recommended if you want to understand calculus properly. She should be an algebra teacher not CALC. AVOID unless your an engineering major who already understands calc. You'll thank me. Surprised she is still teaching. AVOID.
I have no idea why she has 4.0 for anything. You have no idea what you are getting into. Last 3-4 comments describe my situation well. Exams are whack. Its no mercy with her! Really... save yourself the suffering and find another teacher.
I can't believe she has this many negative reviews. I hadn't take a math class in three years and was terrified, but she's so clear and thorough about explaining things and she will literally bend over backwards to help you (she was on medical leave for a back injury, but came back despite doctors orders). GREAT study guids tests are totally doable
the negative reviews below are my classmates who came into the class unsure of basic laws of exponents and fractions. they lacked basic algebra skills from the beginning and continued to ask offensively basic questions until the last day. mayad is an incredible woman, i wish she would teach every class i take at moorpark from here on out.
Don't listen to positive comments...she is rude and unpleasant I'm an honors student and think the students who did well were already exposed to calculus. You can do well if this is ur only class. My GPA is a 3.8 I'm not a slacker. She shouldn't be teaching.
She is an amazing teacher that knows all there is about the subject. Believe it or not when you have her, she conveys the subject very clearly compared to other teachers, and makes sure you get it before moving on. She was an overall joy to have, has a great sense of sarcasm (which I love), and I learned a lot.
I took her for pre calc....she explains things very well and heps you if you need it. Cares for her students and makes class very enjoyable. However you need to work really hard in this class to get a good grade, but only because it's precalc. I say take her! She will really prepare you.
hard to understand, but shell do all it takes to make you understandthe subject.
She comes off as a sweet teacher and cares for her students. She honestly teaches the subject well, BUT her tests are very difficult. Turns a 1+1 problem into a "determine the mass of the sun" type of thing
Seriously dont listen to the good comments people give her, those are people who are good at calculus. Honestly she is horrible. She teaches everything wrong, tests are never like the HW, literally you will understand the HW and she will make it 9000 times harder on the test. If you're really good at calc then sure take her
This class is not easy, no matter who you take. It is going to take A LOT of your time in order to do well. But Rahnamaie is fair with partial credit on tests, and she genuinely cares about her students and will do anything to help you. She is also hilarious. Her tests are hard, but I think she is an amazing teacher and person
Best math teacher I have ever had
She is such a wonderful person, kind and extremely intelligent. She works out natural logarithms and square roots in her head! But anyway, the class was very difficult, at least 4 hours of HW a night, her group work regularly takes 20-30 min after class time to complete, and tests are very, very hard. Makes up problems in her head so not like HW.
Professor Rahnamaie is one of the best math professors I have ever had. Calculus is not an easy subject but she puts in the effort to make sure the material is understood. She goes over what will be on her tests days before the test to give the class time to prepare. her group work acts as a nice grade buffer. No quizzes. What a wonderful teacher!
She is a very nice person. She is helpful but you have to do the work. Testes are fair enough.
I enjoyed her personality; she's fun. Although, I pretty much learned the course by myself. Notes help little, and some days you take 1 pg. to none. She is there for you if you go to office hours. Excessive amounts of H.W. where 12 the time you don't even know how to begin. She rambles wo teaching, is sloppy, doesn't keep her word, confusing.
She is an amazing prof. People saying she is not good at her job either didnt put in the time or shouldn't be doing a major that requires the knowledge of calculus. Not everyone is intelligent enough to be a STEM major and some people havn't accepted that yet. If you love math you will love her class.
She is one of the best professor at Moorpark. Her class is amazingly interesting and easy. If you understand her its and easy A. Just doing all the homework you can get an A.
Professor Rahnamaie is an awesome teacher!! I had no experience with calc in high school and I did fine in her honors class. If you are an engineering student then I would recommend taking her because you will learn Calc 1 like the back of your hand!! If you want an easy A then don't take her because she is going to make you work for your grade.
Prof. Rahnamaie is very good. She does not throw you curve balls. If you pay attention in lecture, and do the homework, and study, you should pass. She is very clear on what she expects of you, and her tests are very fair. She cares about her students, when many other math professors dont. She does give partial credit, which is VERY nice.
Prof. Rahnamaie is very good. But I will say this, I was in her honors class and math is not my strong suit, so if that is the case, It is a very time intensive class. I was in 17 units trying to fit this class in and though possible, it is EXTREMELY tough. However, she is a good teacher, funny, that cares about her students. Very straight forward.
She's absolutely amazing in the way she teaches. Very clear in how she wants you to solve a problem which is usually the easiest way, encourages you to ask questions. She is even willing to explain the algebra part of the problem to students who have poor arithmetic. So far the best math teacher i have had and i would take again
An AMAZING teacher. Calc 2 is definitely a hard class, but she always tried her absolute best to make it understandable. She's definitely a character, always so funny and sarcastic, and the class environment was always lively. Although she is no longer teaching, I wanted to give her the review she deserved. Thank you for everything Ms. Rahnamaie.
One of the best teachers I've had in my academic career. I am by no means a math person and struggle with the subject but her lectures made calculus bearable. She's like a personal cheer leader rooting for you every step of the way. Only thing I didn't like was the partner work at the end of class.
