This guy is so unhelpful, it makes me want to cry. i'm dropping this course and stats as well, because he's taking over from awesome prof. yatchew in the new year.
Fantastic course and materials
he did a bad job.
What the hell!!! I have to study three times as much as usual for such easy courses not to get a under 60. I cannot belive how UofT comes up with such teachers(there ppl r not profs, they're puffs). Y don't you audit these people b4 hiring them. He's BAD
Such a helpful guy, office hours are so great, humble and kind and helpful.
tests are fair. If u study, your mark wont let u down.
Very unclear. Makes the course even harder then it was....
Exams are very fair and are actually a true reflection of what is taught- something that seems to be rather rare for economics at UofT. One of the best Profs I have ever had.
horrible. i didn't understand anything he said in class. just study the textbook, cause the test are fairly reasonable.
i didn't study a lot for this course. so i don't know if it was really possible to teach this course in a better way. you have to stay on the ball for this course.
Excellent teacher: humble, kind, understanding, fair and explained material well.
A professor who seemed uniquely able to suck the life out of an otherwise interesting subject.
best teacher ever. he's so understanding, clear, and helpful. i got a 91 in his class. if u do ur work, the results will make u happy. i'm glad i took this course.
I really liked this professor. He had very good examples in lecture and he was very approachable with any questions. He tests what he teaches.
repeats himself too much!
He was a good prof. His lectures were clear though difficult at times because of the material. He was very helpful and funny. Overall a nice guy.
Amzing.. the most helpful prof. He will spend hours with you in the office hours to make sure you know all the aspects of the topic. Exams are tough but he marks it fairly and he bell curves it generously.
Prof. Anjomshoa is simply one of the best teachers I ever had. I love this guy, GREAT lectures, GREAT humour, very clear and understandable, very nice person, extremely helpful to students and wants them to do well. Material is fascinating. A++
Prof Anjomshoa is probably the best i've had yet. As long as you keep up with problem sets, you'll do fine on tests...he doesnt try to trick you like other profs!
One of the best professsors I have had. He is very willing to help students understand the material. He teaches the most important concepts and does not have tricks in his tests because all he wants is for us to take something from this course and remember it!
Tests are easy if you do the problem sets. He explains the material very clearly. Exam is not tough and just requires you to understand the concepts and dont really have to perform calculations like on the tests.
Best ECO teacher ever!!
Very good and thoughtful prof. Im glad he tought this year. Clear, interesting, easy to get in touch with. Test are hard, sometimes confusing. Exam was easy, I expected much worse. Doing problem sets is crucial. Overall, definitly UofT's asset.
he is the best u of T prof i ever had. his tests are like the prob sets and are fair u do ur hmwk u do fine..it's a lil long but would u rather have decent test with shorter time or hard ass tests with a**** load of time?? he's genuinely a nice guy. i enjoyed the course more than expected and he's really funny.
He is the best prof I've ever had so far in the university... His explanations are clear, he is humorous, and more than anything he is SO HELPFUL. One major thing happens all the time in the university courses is, you want to ask something and ask it to prof or TA, but they don't understand what you are asking... in his case, it never happens.
Great guy! He knows his stuff and is willing to help you until you understand. Tests are long, and sometimes complicated, but they can be done...if must know the material well though. Overall, he's a fair prof., nice, helpful guy and most importantly, he's super entertaining with his jokes and stories of his country. Good job..keep it up!
ver clear and to the point
I have been his student in Quantitative methods and found him a very valuable prof.
The worst EVER! Not helpful at all. During the class he took his time explaining stuff that had nothing to do with the material. The tests were hard and long. And most importantly he won't even listen to you if you need help, will tell you you're stupid, yell at you and send you home. I saw him do it to students and was in that situation myself.
I believe he is one of the BEST prof's at U of T! No one explains the material as well as him! I LOVE THIS PROF!!!
nice guy
read the textbook
Every test was bell curved btwn 8-20%
Long tests, but otherwise great prof! He's pretty funny too... lots of jokes and anecdotes from when he was back in "his country"... (apply accent) ya.. really... you don't believe me.. it's true...anyways, going on.... Great guy!

he is the most knowledgable prof in UofT i have ever had. he makes this course very enjoyable and interesting.
can be CRAZY funny at times. Extremely thorough in his explanations, patient to answer questions, gives you a 100%. Tests are very doable if you keep up with the course and do his assignments
i love this guy. he is a great professor, very friendly. tests what he teaches.
Funny. Cute. Watch out for his refridgerator stories. Keys to an A (attend lecture and do the problem sets and you will win!)
Very friendly and approachable. He makes handouts for the class so we don't really have to read everysingle word in the textbook :D His tests are fair/easy (not a big fan of surprises). Joly guy. Highly recommended.
He's very funny. We laugh a lot in class. Good lecturer... almost like going to a comedian show. His tests are long. His TA is so useless. The tutorial is so useless. But really good lecture. one of the funniest prof ever....
Test you on whole text book, teachs the basic...Horrible prof at least for this class. Needs to specify what he is testing! Spend 1 week studying the final, still clueless
I would not recommend this guy. His tests are unpredictable and rediculously long. His explanations are boring and unclear. I hated micro just because of him:(
Nice guy, tries to be funny and interactive in the lecture (more like a tutorial w/ his teaching style), altho the class does end up being a little boring at times (partly cuz it's at 10am in the morning). Tests were okay, but somehow we still end up with class average as low as 48%. But in the end, he belled so class avg is in the high 60s range.
extremely funny and interesting.
Not helpful Uses formulas not in the book Spends gazillion of time explaining the obvious, not enough practicing Does not check assignments Not willing to put more time to help students Mistakes in handouts and online solutions Sloppy
WHAT THE HECK?! HIS TESTS HAVE NO CORRELATION TO WHAT HE TEACHES IN CLASS! I COULD SLEEP ON THE TEXTBOOK AND HOPE TO DO BETTER!
hilarious guy
This prof is gold. He is very knowledgeable and gives excellent, clear lectures. He is funny as well.. combine his jokes with his Iranian accent, and you have a good lecture! lol! Now for his tests.. I thought his tests were fair, although people don't do very well. Study his past exams and his lecture notes, and you should score 75+.
one of the best profs I have ever met.
Unless he is course coordinator you do not want this guy. His approach is different from other profs. thus leading to difficulties when writing the final.
One of if not the best economics prof at u of t. Teaches concepts clearly and genuinely cares for his students.
Awesome!
2nd Worst prof of my university career. Funny does not equal good. I some wish profs would stop using humor as a substitute for decent content. Not funny or helpful. Did not inspire any desire to know more about the discipline taught. Should be fired for incompetence.
Just a rotten prof. Difficult to follow lectures, poor supporting documentation, incomplete or non-existent solutions sets, unfunny, arrogant and unhelpful. Does not deserve to be teaching at a top tier university.
Just a rotten prof. Difficult to follow lectures, poor supporting documentation, incomplete or non-existent solutions sets, unfunny, arrogant and unhelpful. Does not deserve to be teaching at a top tier university.
He seems to know the material quite well but he lacks the ability to convey it to the class. Most of his notes are written with a poor use of grammar which makes reading and trying to understand what he is saying quite difficult. I mean can't he just have someone proof the stuff before he distributes it to the class?
Great prof. Lectures are really good. He's funny, and he tests pretty reasonably. Take 202 with him.
"Half Man, Half Amazing"
Great!
no Cvomment

I won't deny that he seem to know what he's talking about.. and his powerpoint slides are a thing of beauty. However, I don't think he knows how to make the materials interesting. I always fall alsleep in his class.
I'm someone who really enjoyed economics in second year and did well in 209 and 204. As a word of advice, I would strongly avoid Masoud if knowledge and learning is important. If looked at it from a mark only basis, Masoud is not that bad but be aware of the lack of past papers in his 364 and 365 class. This means more time spend on reviewing.
This professor is really enthusiastic and takes care to explain concepts logically and clearly. Although he has an accent, I found him easy to understand. He is very organized and his lectures provide all the information you need to do well on tests. This prof is awesome!
........
He posts practice questions and past exams online, which is what exams are based on. Lectures are very helpful and he does put in effort to make it more interesting. Over all a good professor
Best prof ever! The midterm and final are very straight forward. Also you don't have to prepare a lot for them so you can allocate your time to other courses instead. Recommended A+ prof!
He is friendly and caring, but he's really, really boring. I can't remember a lecture in which I haven't fallen asleep. As long as you study his past tests you'll do well because he tends to recycle his questions. Love his slides though, best slides I've ever seen.
Anjomshoa is a humorous and passionate professor. He is not challenging at all and his exams reflect the material and the assignment he posts. His lecture slides are very helpful. He helped me understand the realm of macroeconomics. Although it is easy to fall asleep during his lectures, I actually enjoyed his teachings. Overall a good experience.
Has accent but still easy to understand. Relies heavily on his lectures rather than textbook. Does a good job teaching, and tests reflect assignments and past tests, but is a strict marker, things must be exactly a certain way and order. Over all decent.
Good lecturer nice and helpful.
He knows what he's talking about. He's genuinely interested in the subject and genuinely interested in solving your doubts. The TAs were awful but this professor took the trouble to remark their mistakes. I actually enjoyed going to his office hours.
He is the quintessential university professor. Anjomshoa is extremely clear in his teaching and he covers the basics in order to go into more complex topics. His tests consisted of multiple-part questions so it was not hard to mess up and lose many marks. People complained but this is university and not a free ride to a degree in economics.
He is so knowledgable about the materials he teaches.
Talks with a very boring voice. Is helpful if you have questions.
Very effective teaching style and use of powerpoint presentations. Showed genuine interest in what he was teaching, and just when things were getting boring in a 2 hour class, he would insert a really interesting anecdote that was still relevant to macroeconomics!
Lectures confusing, tests simplistic, stubborn when grading. I won't take his class ever again.
He's awesome! Had him in my first year after gaining credits from IB. Although ECO202 were few of my first economics classes, Anjomshoa managed to explain the materials really well. He's very willing to help when asked and are generally interested in teaching the class. He's also pretty funny sometimes!
I found his accent difficult at first, but once you get over that, he really is a great prof. Enthusiastic, helpful, and non-intimidating. Great anecdotes. Just make sure to attend lecture, it is all you need to do to get a good mark.
He is a wonderful very helpful teacher. His notes are the best.His anecdotes are interesting. Practice read the notes and the book, practice the questions. You'll get good marks.
A very smart helpful & kind teacher. His PowerPoint slides are beauty. His jokes makes us smile even when the topic was hard.
Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun. Thanks for making it a great course!
So far the best lecturer in the econ department, should be an example to other profs. Best use of powerpoint i've seen in my 3 years at uoft, very organized and clear. Midterm was not too hard, as long as you study all of his lecture slides.
Prof. Masoud makes difficult topics economics easy to understand. His power points are all you need to do well, and his tests and exam are extremely fair. He is always willing to help students and answer questions. Overall, one of the best profs. at UofT.
His poor command in English combined with his monotone voice with accent, makes attending lectures useless.
Masoud is a wonderful teacher. Very helpful. I'll recommend him.
Anjomshoa is well versed in explaining the concepts of international economics in a course that builds itself through increasingly complex models, however, test questions are not in the same format as assigned textbook problem sets.If you take this course, go to class and obtain previous tests.
is a very helpful teacher
Very helpful and understanding teacher.
Lectures were clear and directly related to content in exams with effective use of powerpoint. Test questions are exactly like the samples in class. He demonstrates genuine interest in the education. He even got the cost of the textbook adjusted and provided solutions for both the current and previous editions of the textbook to help with cost.
He is very talented teacher. His power point notes are wonderful. Helpful if asked questions.
His teaching skills are great! Knows his stuff. Great power point slides. Well organised teacher.
His teaching skills are great. Knows his stuff well. His notes are great. Well organised lecturer.
You will probably not learn anything useful from the lectures or readings in the course, if you are even able to understand them, so I highly recommend Eco Man (he's great). Professor Anjomshoa might, out of nowhere, give you an extremely low or failing grade. Don't expect him to care or even listen to your appeal. Do not take unless you have to.
Masoud often gives simplistic,unclear, unprofessional questions that have little practice value. To my knowledge, he did not even study economics. He studied international relations. I would not take any course taught by sessional lecturers. They are sessional for a reason (e.g. not good enough). Please respect yourself and your parents' money.
Anjomshoa is an entertaining lecturer. The content of this course was so boring it hurt. If you don't have previous tests you will do terribly in this course. Practise previous ECO230 questions by Anjomshoa and you will likely get 80%+. Textbook useless. Lectures are very important. This is a "teach yourself a week before the test" kind of course.
Very funny and interesting professor. Make sure to study lecture notes down to the last detail and you will excel in this class. Textbook pretty useless.
Great prof! My fa class at Uof T and very useful!
I don't understand what's going on. Help me.
This was an interesting class for me, even tough I hate statistics, the professor made the class easy and the textbook was really useful, he gives you 2 mid-terms and a final, and even some of the questions were hard I think he is overall pretty fair to everyone when it comes about grading, but you really have to study if you want to do well.
Few of the optional tags felt suitable as most were too positive, and the negatives simply not accurate. In general, a fairly uninspiring course lacking substantive material and incentives to care or be even moderately interested. "Just take my word for it" are words I unfortunately have become used to in his explanations.
This course definitely wasn't as hard as the first year ECO course. The only problem I really had was the group project. It was so unclear what we were supposed to do and it had little to do with what we had learned. Aside from that the tests and exams were pretty standard.
Very bad lecturer, his lectures arent reflected in his exams. He expects us to know how to do certain calculation without teaching us how to do them.
worst professor at UofT. I wouldn't wish this course on my worst enemy. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Decent lecturer, but terrible professor. Marks exams erratically and arbitrarily, whilst providing nothing in the way of practice problems aside from the occasional multiple choice assignment bearing no resemblance to the exam questions.
This is the worst professor at U of T. He is unclear, judgemental, and is literally out to get students. If you took ECO105 or have difficulty with economics YOU WILL NOT PASS. ECOMAN is the real professor for this course and you will be guaranteed at least a 65. Anjomshoa cares about his low class average and provides minimal assistance. Good luck
Attendance is important for this course. Class is very intriguing and the prof makes it easy to understand.
Terrible. I found him to be very disrespectful and uncaring. Goodluck.
Confusing and not committed to student understanding, he lectures with frequent reliance on the term "just trust me". Memorization of past tests is the best strategy.
Definitely one of the worst professors I've ever had at the University of Toronto. ECO230 is brutal, and his lectures are completely unclear. Studying the past tests is your best survival strategy. His course is a GPA-killer, no doubt about it. BTW, first test will probably be curved 10-14 points because everyone fails. Last test won't be curved.
The best
All IR students should know that ECO230 is mandatory. Prof Masoud has a pretty strong accent and can sometimes struggle to make his points clear. However, he's very willing to help and answer students' questions. He would explain concepts again and again for you. That being said, it still requires a lot of preparation to pass his tests.
Super dry
I know this is a requirement for IR, but, if you can avoid it, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. It destroys people. I'm serious you can love economics and still do poorly.
He is hilarious and extremely clear in his lectures. You'll have to attend as he leaves some slides blank but he provides clear info and is always willing to help and answer questions. He is also very clear about what kind of questions will appear on tests.
Terrible lecturer and brutal tests
Not too good at lecturing, wouldn't recommend
This course is poorly organized. The tests are just straight memorization of any graph or concept covered in the lecture. There are so many concepts during the lecture that it is hard to know which ones are important and what is not. Masoud is a poor lecturer and his 3 hour lecture could easily be condensed into 2 hours. Memorize past test key
Definitely the worst prof I've ever had. He can't lecture at all and makes it basically impossible to learn anything in the class. The textbook was barely related to the course so it wasn't even possible to learn that way. Tests were very challenging. Avoid this prof at all costs.
The worst class I've ever taken, in any subject, with any person, anywhere in the world. Lectures are a waste - it takes Masoud two hours to cover 5 powerpoint slides at a snail's crawl, and nothing of value is gained or lost in that time. The exams can best be described as "punitive", and probably violate the 8th Amendment of the US Constitution.
Yes, he's not the clearest lecturer. But if you have a decent background in economics, play close attention in class, attend tutorial, and practice past tests, this course can actually be fine. Don't succumb to ECOMAN scare tactics. The online quizzes are kind of pointless, but the answers are online so free marks. Also, his stories are hilarious.
I can't tell you how much I hated this man as a professor. A friend of a friend was his TA - and he genuinely laughed at how many people failed his assingments. Want to do well on a test? Class is useless. So are the textbooks. So are the tutorials! Your only hope is ECOMAN. IR department - please stop requiring this. We beg you.
Not the best professor in the economics department, needs more organization to his lecture approach. Shares a lot of interesting stories, but unclear at times.
The assignments for this course is easy and there was not midterm while i took this course. The tough things are the 5 pages essay and the final test. The final test was hard and it requires you to write a lot of things. And the participation matters. Highly recommend to take this course.
Probably the worst prof. I have ever had. Incredibly hard to study for tests, really boring classes etc.
This is a very complicated course and taking Masoud on top makes it quite a challenge. Absolutely love his character, amazing guy to talk to. However do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs to save your GPA.
So far the worst prof I've ever had. very disorganized lecture and poor attitude. he thinks he's done well when students get low grade.
Don't get me wrong, Masoud is a nice guy and probably smart too. That doesn't make him any good at teaching, and he really should not be teaching any one, in any course, at any level. Course itself is easy enough, but somehow going to lecture makes it harder to understand. Doing practice tests over and over are your best bet and will get you your A
The prof is pretty nice and approachable, and cracks joke sporadically in lectures. However, his lectures are disorganized and content hard to follow. Hard grading maybe because I don't really like macroeconomics in general. Find a better prof who is more organized and their content easier to follow if u can
Terrible professor. Doesn't explain things and expects you to figure many things out on your own. Hard to understand and very unreasonable marking scheme/testing.
This guy is terrible. Worst Prof I've ever had. From tests that were impossible to finish, to writing assignments that his peers in the economics department even said was "a little too much", he makes this class excessively hard. Unclear when lecturing and uses language that can easily confuse people. GIVES OUT 100 QUESTION QUIZZES
Terrible. Worst prof ever. Doesn't know how to teach. Disorganized. Not clear. Worst lectures I've ever attended. Harsh grading. Wack 100 question quizzes for like 3% of the grade. Not at all interesting in teaching. Tough assignments. Just save urself and don't take his class.
I took ECO202 as a summer course, so your experience may be different. Prof. Anjomshoa's lectures are very dense but extremely helpful for exams. Reading the text book is not mandatory but is helpful to understand difficult concepts. I got a 65% on my first mid term but managed to get an A- at the end, so if you work very hard, you can do very well
Hardest class I've ever took. About four hours lecture per week plus one hour tutorial for assignments. Ten pages writing assignment with a time-sensitive requirement but no reminders. Avoid this class, maybe also this Prof.
Be ready for an enormous amount of information quickly. He is one of those UofT professors who do the slide show and explains each slide, but never really how to use it. As a result, I find we're tested on problems and ideas that we didn't touch on in class. Just watching lecture and studying slides will get you an F, be ready for ALOT of youtube
My 2nd time taking a course with him. He is excellent if you are a fast / independent learner. He won't make you waste time doing unnecessary work. However this means you need to be self-disciplined and perform on the few evaluations. He is very clear and he is experienced as an economic advisor in government. Great delivery of complex info.
Tested us on the 1 thing that he didn't give any practise on (stock pollutants), tutorial questions are completely disconnected from lecture and require random math and no logic; prof is on an ego trip to make the test hard. Like why not just give us some practise with concepts that will be on the test? Pure memorization of equations.
Terrible! cannot believe I am writing a 2000-word "short" essay that is only worth 5%. You ruined my day, dear prof. masoud.
would definitely not recommend! We have 100 question quizzes that are not contributing to our learning in any way plus 2000 short essays without any clear connection with course materials. His lectures are just reading slides and quite confusing for no reason. Take the other prof if you can, heard shes way better
90% of the course depends on tests and quiz. You only get 10 percent for two 2000-words essays. Each quiz was 100 multiple choice questions. His tests were horrible. Sooo many things needed to be memorized for the tests. The final is cumulative, which was so terrible and so intense. DONT TAKE ECO202 with him!!!! If you have other choices.
This professor is not good at teaching. He has a very old-fashioned style of teaching. Reading off the slides only, making no sense in his lectures and bombarding lectures with info. There is no sense of structure or organization whatsoever to his lectures and it is evident that his quizzes are copied and pasted with no intention to make his.
Homework assignments and exam were very easy
Ngl one of the hardest courses I've ever taken - 35% midterm, 15% writing assignment, and 50% exam. Midterm was brutal, esp definitions but there was like 20% curve. Stay engaged with content and prof, and will end up being very rewarding imo! Aside; I enjoyed getting to know Prof Anjomshoa on a personal level; his life sounds like a movie XD.
He is not a good speaker, his slides are messy, monthly quizzes are 80 questions and worth 1% of your final grade, and exams are impossible. Avoid.
He only talks about irrelavent content during the lecture. The overall lecture notes are poorly organized. I don't see the point of the quiz where you have to finish 90 MCQs within 60 mins. It seems he did not respect the efforts and time that students pay for. Instead, he presented a garbage lecture just for him to make a living.
He is all about memorization and speed. To do well it is not really about understanding. Make sure you can repeat every concept exactly how he says it. The quizzes and midterms are very time constrained. Lectures are key for tests but also go onto many unrelated tangents. Best of luck.
Professor Anjomshoa's classes are intense, with dense lectures and tough assessments. However, studying hard using resources like the textbook and Unstuck ai can help you succeed. The course is a challenge, but rewarding for those willing to put in the effort.
old school style professor, difficult to understand his lectures at times and he makes it very hard to study for tests as he doesn't post past midterms and blurs out his slides. otherwise he's a decent professor.
Beautiful style of teaching. Some would call it old school, but it's the perfect mix for the content of this class. They have a lot of experience, and they give their all to the class . They acknowledged that the first year is hard, and they adjusted the course load so you can get a good grade, learn useful content, and enjoy it.
He seems like a good prof for other classes, but not this one. Messy slides and rambles on. Gatekeeps content unless you go to class. If you feel the need to do so, that means you're not confident that you add any value to the lecture beyond slides. At the very least, seems passionate about what he teaches, which is my only plus. Avoid this class.
i hate him. he's making me suffer send help
What an awful experience, never have I thought a prof could be as incompetent as Professor Anjomshoa. From uncertainty about the textbooks he used to poor class management, this Professor is a mess all around, to anyone looking at classes with him stay as far away as possible from this prof.
rambles on and on about irrelevant things in class. 3 hour lectures covering minimal content. awful prof, stay away - killed my passion for economics
Slides incoherent, site poorly organized, weighting of assignments & quizzes just feels bad: 1-2 hour quizzes worth 1% each, 2000 word written assignments worth 5% each. For a cumulative exam worth 70% of a regular term-length course (more if you shifted term test weight to it), it felt like very poor breadth of questions and weighting.
Winter 2025 - Lectures were interesting, but slides are unorganized. Would not take him for a more serious ECON course. Weekly homework and 1 exam.
bad prof bad explanation.
Literally the worst professor I have ever had. Thick accent, inarticulate English, sounds like he is just mumbling words. Slides are incredibly text heavy, and we have to memorize the proofs of like 1000 things. HIGHLY DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CLASS. TRUST.
My favourite prof at uoft. He explained every concept in a clear way in every lecture, and he did huge curve up in our midterm and final exams. If you want to improve your GPA then I highly recommend you taking his classes.
DO NOT TAKE HIM. Horrible prof ITS NOT THE ACCENT he uses slides with blanks and u go to class for him to fill them in and js read off them. Tutorials are absolutely almost useless, they BARELY prepare u for the midterm and the type of qs that will be in it. Past papers were given and they were the most helpful but a lot of qs were curveballs.
Horrible experience. He gives lecture notes with blank in it and we have to come to the lecture JUST to fill in the note because there was no recording. Messy notes, messy graphs, a bunch of math derivatives and all of them are CONFUSING. Thick accent, he repeats "is that right" once every 5mins. Literally kill my passion for econ.
This prof is absolutely horrible. You have to go to lecture to fill in his blank slides. The way he explains everything is so confusing. Furthermore, he doesn't even write his own questions he only takes them from the textbook. The problems that he gives you in TUT are useless for the tests as the test questions are 10x harder.
Lectures are interesting, especially with personal anecdotes. There isn't much opportunity to participate even though it's a seminar course. Very short weekly assignments (most people get full marks every time). You get an attendance grade for each lecture but there's no late penalty. No textbook to purchase, because optional readings are posted.
