Such a nice and great teacher, one thing that he is very good at is explaining(crystal clear)and the tests are pretty much like hw questions .

everything is explained really well and lectures are very useful. Homework is not mandatory but it'd be stupid not do them, his tests are very similar to hw problems. Since he's pretty young for a professor I guess he doesn't have much confidence, but he's a better professor than he thinks. definitely recommend him!

Clear, very organized, if you do your homework and struggle on it like he says, you'll do good in the class A or a B

Such a great instructor and also a nice guy.You will never be bored in his class.very organized.Physics is not an easy subject but if you go to his lectures and also do your HW you will do fine on your tests.He grades fairly.The only disappointment about him is that he takes very long time to grade the tests.Take him and you wont regret!

Best professor ever!

He is not average .... he is great

He is AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR that actually makes physics interesting. I highly recommend taking him. He cares a lot about his students and knows who's doing what. He explains everything clearly. He can repeat many times to make sure you got the concept. I just LOVE TO BE IN HIS CLASS!

VERY CLEAR. But if you don't like physics it will be slightly hard. Does not like it when you ask TOO many questions. Cz some people abuse it (rhymes with shrafi).

EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! Explains everything, has patience, and he isn't lying when he says he tries to answer everyone's questions. Interesting class and VERY VERY CLEAR. Tied for my favorite professor in the school.

Professor Afshar is proof of the Physics PhD bottleneck in academia. If this were 30 years ago, he would probably be tenured at an Ivy League school. His credentials are absurdly humbling, Bachelors from Berkely,Phd from UCI in Quantum Gravity. He is clear as day and consider yourself lucky to have him grace you with his time and walth of knowledge

Professor Afshar is the BEST! He is so caring and kind. He teaches with great passion and he wants everyone to learn. He is so helpful and he gives students the greatest opportunity to succeed. I highly recommend him for physics’ classes and suggest you don't have any other teacher but Dr. Afshar. As I said, HE IS THE BEST!

He is perfect. Dr. Afshar is very patient with all questions, made physics easy to understand, Knowledgeable with a sense of humor. You never get tired in his class. Take him, you won't regret.

He is the best physics professor in this world! He cares too much about his students. He spends extra office hours everyday explaining. Knows everything about physics and math, he always had an answer for every question. He is very funny and friendly. I always enjoyed his class. MARCUS (MAZIAR) YOU ARE THE BEST!

Prey that your class has a lot of students in it because he curves and only top 20% get A's, which is like 5-6 students in a regular 26/27 student class. His tests are pretty tough, and you need to know the material (not just based on lecture notes). He knows a lot about Physic, but his explaining is not the best. There is hw and long lab work.

This guys is awesome!! He really cares about his students. If u struggle on hw a lot then you will do fine on his test... Again, make sure u do the hw bcuz tests are based on it. And ask a lot of questions!!!!best physics teacher everrr

Dr. Afshar is a really enthusiastic teacher. He keeps everyone engaged and uses a lot of visual aids and class participation to make sure that you do not just learn the information, but you retain it and will remember it later.

I doubt you will ever see a professor like Prof. Afshar. His enthusiasm is just enough to make you listen to his lecture. He is very precise and will make you understand physics from inside out. I really enjoy his teaching.

He is the best! The lectures are great! To be honest, I didn't study the book at all! I just studied the lecture notes and I got A on the tests!

Hes a great teacher! Hes very smart and teaches you all the concepts. You have to attend every single class session in order to get points for lab. Reasonable homework. Didnt study the book too much but it did help. Test are mainly from lecture notes and homework that you do every week. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!! Easy A if you put in effort.

If you put in an hour a week you'll ace the class! Short answer questions are straight from the homeworks you turn in once a week (super easy hw) & multiple choice is pretty much from the book and lectures. Attendance is mandatory because you do a lab a week. Overall, easy A if you put in some effort! Highly recommend him 110!

Really nice guy, and brilliant too. Easy A for intro! Just be sure to do all your work, and put a decent (or just some) amount of time into studying for his exams. His exams are mostly based off the lecture than the lab.

He is very knowledgeable, punctual, organized, clear, and an amazing instructor. Dr. Afshar is always available if you have any questions and takes his time with his students. His tests are from the PP, hw, and the booklet. I recommend him to anyone interested in learning.

It's a privilege to be in his class. It may not easy but you will learn a lot. He does everything he can to make you understand the material. His lectures are important but also make sure to attend his office hours.

Dr. Afshar is the best professor at Glendale Community College. His teaching skills are great. However it's not that easy to get an A in his class, because his exams are not that easy. Take him if u really want to learn something!!!

He is the most caring professor ever!! Understands physics, super helpful, and I highly recommend taking him. It is physics, so its not gonna be an easy A but Dr. Afshar will guide you. Do your homework, go to class and study, you will be fine. HE IS THE BEST! GREAT PERSONALITY!

Take him! his class is awesome! He cares about his students a lot. He is very kind, knows physics very well,and helps a lot. you will have fun with physics. At the end of semester you will have fallen in love with physics. I had very nice experience. Thanks Prof. Afshar.

Professor Afshar really knows physics and the best part he knows how to TEACH it to others. He offers very insightful advice on how to solve problems that you cannot get from the text.

He is awesomeee. This man over here is not only a good teacher but a good man. He cares about his students and he is more than helpful. Ive had some good teachers but none compare to him. His lectures are so entertaining, and it's so hard to fall asleep. I love this teacher. I wish there were more like him.

Dr. Afshar is the Best professor at GCC. if you want to learn the subject of Physics then definitely take him. Dr. Afshar has tons of knowledge in Physics and his ability to teach is amazing.. Thank you Dr. Afshar

Physics in general is not an easy class. You need to study a lot especially in this class. The homework is the key to getting a good grade and also make sure to read the book. He will be there to help you during his office hours. One thing I didn't like about Afshar is that he can be really rude if you did not understand a simple conceptproblem

So, this guy is pretty smart. He knows his stuff, but he is rude. Really,he has some attitude problems. He is a good power-point teacher. He assigns a fair amount of homework, which actually prepares you for the test. If you read the book, and do the homework, you should do well. He also posts his lectures online. Decide for yourself. Good luck...

So far he is the Best at GCC . Thank you Dr. Afshar.

Dr. Afshar is a nice professor. his lectures are very clear, his tests are not easy. In general, Physics is hard to understand, so be ready to study the book do the HW, and study his slides. Going to his lectures is strongly recommended, He makes Physics easy to understand. *** He knows & explains Physics very well.***

He is number one at GCC. Couldn't be better than him for Physics. He makes physics easy to understand. Thank you Dr. Afshar...

Day or night, rain or shine, jury duty or no jury duty, he expects you to read one chapter and do its respective hw every week. Lectures are clear and available online because he would prefer us to pay attention rather than write down every word in the powerpoint. Office hours will feel like Black Friday if you go the day before a test.

Here is what I have to say about doctor Afshar. He is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. He doesn't just teach, he makes you motivated. If you want to take physics and pass it with an "A" and not study hard for it, that's not gonna happen. Take his class if you like engineering and actually enjoy physics. Doctor Afshar, thank you.

Cool professor, man. This was my third class with him. Hard subject, but he is CRYSTAL clear about stuff. But the best thing about his classes are that he curves it based on standard deviation, unlike no-curve upper-level math classes, which are just as difficult.

He's likely your only choice. Prepare to work for your grade, as he grades on a harsh curve. Teaches lectures well, but seems to lack the ability to answer questions well. Bring something else to work on in class so that others' questions don't end up wasting your time, as he will spend a disproportionate amount of time on easy parts of questions.

He's your only choice. OK professor. The grade you get is directly proportional to the amount of time you devote to doing the problems.

Professor Afshar is not only a great lecturer, but is also an amazing physicist! Moreover, he is a passionate teacher who is always seeking to improve his teaching style. Not an easy class, but when is learning easy?

Afshar is a great professor. The subject matter is difficult, but if you attend lectures, read the book, and do the assigned homework, you'll be fine. His tests are very closely related to the homework, so you know what to expect on exams. His lectures are very clear and make the book material more accessible. Difficult class, great professor.

Very good teacher; his lectures are clear and he is more than willing to help during office hours. The grade is curved, too, which helped (on some tests an 85 A). Make sure to do the homework! 80-100% of the material on the tests and the final was straight from the homework, so if you do all the problems you will almost certainly get an A.

Dr. Ashar is an amazing professor. He knows physics very well and explains it very clearly. You have to read the book and do all the homework and go to his office hours in regular basis. Of course physics is always hard, but if you want to learn something about physics take him you won't regret

Best professor. Lectures super clear. Questions answered if you've showed that you've studied and put in effort. But, can be mean if you are lazy and aren't a good student. Has high expectations. Lots of homework, reading, and studying. Grading is tough. The fact that he is very well spoken and intelligent makes up for any negative feedback.

If you don't do the homework you're basically not gonna get a good grade. If you show you care and do the work you'll be fine, but if you dont do the homework you're gonna get a lot of attitude and not do well. The final is basically your grade and so is the lab. 15 15 15 midterm 35 final 20 lab. you probably have no choice but if you work youre ok

He is the best professor I've ever had. His lecture is very clear. If you guys want to success in his class, you have to do more homework and ask questions to the professor are the best way to survive in his class. . I'm sure that It will help you even after transfer.

One of the BEST professors at GCC! He puts a lot into his lectures and he is very good at explaining. He is very patient in office hours and will explain every detail. He may seem intimidating in 101, but in 102/103 he's always cracking jokes. He values students who put in the effort. If you do the homework, you will be absolutely fine.

you, as student, will lean real physics and you will reach to somehow the logic you need in the future by taking his classes. Thanks to the most powerful professors at GCC. I do appreciate you for the efforts and help for us.

He is one of the best professors ever. He may not warm when communicates, but we take classes for learning Physics, and his teaching method and explanation is very best. If you want to learn something in physics, I recommend his classes, but if you want just a letter grade you need to think about taking other class or to study hard. He has As too

Ive completed all of my physics with Dr. Afshar. His lectures are very well presented, he breaks down the concepts, and his always available outside of class. He is stricter than your usual teacher, and the class demands discipline from the student. Nonetheless if you read, and do the work you will pass with a good knowledge, and a good grade.

Dr. Afshar's class might be the toughest I've taken, but it was definitely worth it. While he comes off as intimidating in the beginning, you'll grow to appreciate the sternness. His tests are VERY parallel to the homework and the curve helped our semester. Fantastic instructor, don't slack off, and you'll be totally fine. Labs weren't bad either.

Prof. Afshar's PHY101 is not an easy class, especially if you haven't taken any prior physics. If you want to pass, do ALL of the homework as tests are very similar. His lectures are clear and he does well in highlighting the important concepts. Review his lectures often and make an effort to participate the best you can, and you will be fine.

Best physics prof at GCC but not easy at all. Don't come here and expect to have an easy A or even an easy B. I really recommend him if you are a physics or engineering student and you really want to learn the subject matter. The people complaining about him are either lazy or want things just to be handed to them.

Professor Afshar is one of the best professors in GCC and definitely, the best Physics professor I have ever had. He knows what he teaches, not just as a great professor, but is also incredible at Physics. Of course, if you take this class you need to be ready to read a lot. If you read and listen to his lectures, You will see a great improvement.

His lectures are GOLD. He won't be your 'friend', yet you can be sure your grade is fair. Very structured, clear grading, values actual involvement over showing off. Getting an A is possible, but I was overconfident. Tough tests, yet he gives a lot of practice before. It is a shame he doesn't teach 102. Will return to get an A in his 103. GOAT.

Easily one of the most strict teachers in GCC. Not in a bad way though. Professor Afshar is an amazing professor, but it's unfortunate you get little lectures. The exams are tough and labs affect your grade a ton. This was the most rigorous classes I've ever taken. Physics 101 was insanely easy for me, but I did have to fight for an A in 103.
