This guy gives hard tests but the work is easy. Don't even bother to do the extra credit its only one point extra on the next test.
His tests are really hard even though he says its all his notes. Hes a good guy though...
He was great, and i really enjoyed his classes
funny guy. good teacher. makes the course easy. Only stuff in lectures on the tests.
funny guy. good teacher. makes the course easy. Only stuff in lectures on the tests.
This guy is SO easy going. He makes the class fun. His tests are not that difficult if you take notes. You never even have to read the book if you just show up for class. His tests are based on notes taken in class.
Thorough classes. Always offers extra credit and help on the final. WANTS students to pass his class. Test are all notes, but still hard (short answer).
Great Prof., if you read the book and follow the class discussions you will learn a great deal
AWESOME PROFESSOR!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS!
He's very smart and helpful. His tests are easy. No homework or papers.
he's a very smart man, you need to go to class and take notes everyday, you will learn a lot, just 3 tests, no paper or any hw... you don't need the textbook, just take notes
His notes are the best. Save your money and dont buy the textbook. He gives everything on the tests. This man knows what he is talking about unlike certain professors that tend to doubt themselves.
cool guy
Take this man!! dont waste your time with the other teachers. All you gotta do is take his notes. Dont even think about buying the text book! it will be a waste of money. tests are from the notes. 3 tests, thats it! hes the man
Easiest teacher I have had so far. If you need to take an eco or gov course take this man. You don't even need the book. If you take notes and study for the tests you will ace them. He hammers everything until you know it through and through
Best econ teacher available. 3 Tests only straight from his notes. His tests are multiple choice. He is very intrersting to listen to because he is so enthusiastic about what he teaches. I reccomend having him as a teacher.
all the other reviews about this guy are true. the only complaint I have is that he writes the notes on the board too damn fast. its hard to keep up.
i cant bash this guy, he knows his stuff and is very into what he teaches. his tests come from the notes and notes only but the notes are sometimes hard to keep up with. his jokes are right on cue and funny also, cool guy to take.
Extremely helpful professor with a brain. Very humble and willing to offer help anytime.
Great teacher. He makes Economics as interesting as one can make the course. Best teacher in the department. Sweet guy & kinda funny!
So cool, I bombed the final and he still helped me out. Bonus points if you participate and he knows your name. Attendance is not mandatory.
This professor is very funny and is always smiling and telling stories, so it makes the class go by faster. His tests are all multiple choice and he curves them. i recommend:)
A first clas gentleman. as good a person as he is an instructor. I was shocked he is not full time, would be an asset to any university. Learning is his message and it comes thru lound and clear, he has no pretence. A must take for any student
good prof, interesting and goes over material to be on exams
good teach, always smiling, his test are somewhat hard, you don't need the text book, all the questions for the test come right out of the notes, if you study you'll do well
One of my favorite professors at Hofstra, as boring as the subject is he always breaks the class up with funny stories. His tests are easy, right from the notes and curved!
super nice guy.cutest funny stories and has the best accent.copy his board notes w/precision, memorize & you will do great on the tests-PROMISE! he curves anyway. gives lots of opportunity for X-tra cedit. No excuse for less then a B w/ a lil effort.
Nice guy, clear presentation of class material. Come to class and pay attention and all you'll need to do is review notes before tests.
Really nice guy. The tests aren't bad you just have to review your notes plus he gives you extra credit opportunities.
he's a good & fair Professor. knows how to teach he's material well. 3 exams including final and midterm. Yes there is extra credit but I think is not worth it 1 point for 2 page paper on your exam. come on I'm a busines major.
great prof. makes class very interesting. give great notes, do not even need to buy the book for his class. doesn't take attendance
he is a very nice guy, gives lots of notes I found his test to be pretty hard, have to study a lot take the class with him just be prepared to study a lot to do well
I love this guy!! i hate economics and i didn't want to take the class, but he always gives great stories and makes the material easier to understand.. tests are hard, but he gives alot of extra credit.. ONLY PROFESSOR I WOULD TAKE FOR ECONOMICS!!!
very good professor, very worldy in his approach, he always tries to help out his students, always gives them extra credit. this professor is very flexible when it comes to his students. his lectures are fun and interesting!
No Comments
Very funny and interesting.. Defenetly learn a lot...tests are pretty easy if you study the notes but he gives a lot of them...hes hilarious though I enjoyed his class
he rocks! he is def one of th ebest profs i have ever taken... he is very clear, funny, gives really easy extra credit, 2 exams and a final...take him take him take him u wont regret!
He is an awesome teacher!! Soo funny and he knows his stuff!!! Take him if you have chance. He has # tests. Two of them are mid-terms and directly from the notes. the book is not needed for this class. The final is cumulative. Gives tons of easy extra credit options to bring up the grade.
He is awesome! I learned more in his class than any other! Dont need the text, tests are straight from the notes. He's absolutley great! take him.
best prof. ever. He knows all of his materials, not to mention very funny. I took him twice for ECO 1 and 142. He's very helpful and gives many easy to do extra credits. You will lean alot from this man. The #1 prof. in the world.
This professor is outstanding!!! If you go to class every day and take notes, you are sure to pass the class. The text is not really needed and he gives many extra credit papers to help boost your grade.
He is such a nice professor he is very helpful and extremely nice. His notes are exactly what will be on the test, there is no need to buy the book but YOU MUST go to his class every day. I took him for summer so maybe its a little different. Definitely take him!
He's a great profesor -- u have to make it to class to pass the class, take good notes & ur fine.
great prof. dont buy the book, all tests are straight from class notes. he gives alot of extra credit. test are very fair. i took him in the summer so there was only 2 tests no hw. you learn, and he makes it easy to understand... everyone knows he's the man for any eco class!
fazeli is the man...he's the nicest guy and his tests come right from the notes so if you notes your gold. he's also funny and tells these really unfunny jokes but his demeanor just makes it funny. totally recommend him.
Fazeli basically follows a teaching system that I have come to find the most useful. During class you basically just take notes, but if you blink you'll miss like everything that he's talkign about. Tests come straight from the notes so attendance is essential. For a few minutes before and during class he'll start talking about random social issues
M.Fazeli is perhaps the nicest down to earth professor here at Hofstra. He tells things the way they are and his style is excellent. All you have to do is take notes and he even offers 4-5 Extra Credit assignments so that always helps. Definately recommended for any ECO course...
Priceless and will help anyone grasp He epitomizes what Hofstra meant when they they say dedicated and world-renowned faculty because this man not only knows Economic theory and principles but is the most efficient in passing it down to others I'm an Eco major and will seek taking as many classes as possible with this man because he is invaluable.
Prof. Fazeli is a highly effective professor who cares about his students. He's an extremely nice person, as well. One of the best at Hofstra...
Fazeli is the best, he keeps the class interesting which is rarely found these days. His tests are based on his notes, you read notes before tests,and you will do fine!! Two mid-terms and a final, pretty easy A..Definitely recommended!!!
He is the nicest person I've ever met. He knows like everything and he is definitely good at conveying economics to the students. Be sure to take notes and learn them,its all about the notes. Great guy, one of the few awesome faculty members Hofstra has, TAKE HIM
He is funny; therefore, keeps the class interesting. He tries hard to keep you focused and he does. His tests are really easy. You should read notes which are great and you will get an A. Make sure you read the notes throughly, I guarantee you getting an A. One of the funniest and easiet ever!!
easily the nicest prof i have ever had! has a lot of knowledge in the subject matter and keeps the class entertained with humerous comments. highly recomended, one of hofstras best
You don't need to buy the textbook for this class its a waist of money. All his exams are based on his notes. He also offers some extra credit. His teaching is clear and understandable maybe a little too fast. Overall he's a good teacher.
He is one of my favorite professors at Hofstra. He is very nice, helpful, and not at all snobby like most of the profs here. I recommend him highly- he knows his subject very well and is funny too. And his lectures are not at all boring.
Excellent professor. He knows economics very well and could probably write a textbook if he wanted. He explains everything. Exams are easy if you study his notes. He usually starts off class with a joke or some story which only 2 people laugh at but it's still funny.
I didnt believe people when there were comments saying "you dont need the book" so I bought it anyway. I have NEVER touched it! Not because Im lazy but because it truly is ALL ABOUT THE NOTES! Plus he's a funny guy, really nice. Offers a bit of extra credit, which is good cause there are only 2 tests and a final, which is a bit scary.take him!
Don't bother buying the book, but definitely take his class. Awesome professor!
Extremely interesting and easy to follow.
Very good professor. Gives tons of extra credit opportunites. Gives good reviews the day before the tests. Everything is in the notes.
Great professor, had to take this class for my major, gives lots of extra credit, he gave me a B and it was a gift, will work with you and wants you to do well, nice guy too
Great professor, great guy. Gives extra credit and is really funny
super nice and funny. his classes are essentially night club acts that teach you the subject. he's very easy and encourages student participation. i highly recommend him.
hes an amazing professor who truly knows his stuff....take him and you will love his class and find a new found interest in economics...one of the best teachers at hofstra
Funny, Smart guy. just come to class. always making jokes and telling anecdotes--hes been around the world. everything is in the notes-forget about the book, it was a waste of money for me. Easy tests and project, just study the notes. one of the BEST teachers i've Ever had. I learned a lot and will take him again.
This guy is the best professor I have ever had and is an absolute inspiration, funny, smart, a great experience.
Best professor you can find. Don't miss out! Really, he's a fantastic teacher.
Best professor at Hofstra, period!
Accent takes getting used to, but he is a fantastic teacher, who REALLY knows his stuff. Pretty easy class, too.
Makes economics somewhat enjoyable. Really nice teacher! He tries to make sure all students understand concepts and has no trouble addressing questions. I def. would take him again.
Fazeli is amazing. He is always happy to communicate with his students and has great stories. Only 2 exams and a final. Always offers extra credit. If you try to attend every class and study what he tells you, the exams are pretty simple. If you need that Economics credit, take Fazeli!
One of the best professors i have ever had. Outlines what he will discuss at the beginning of class, writes all the notes on the board. Tests are directly from his notes and what he says. Really helpful and very nice. Makes sure you understand everything and takes his time. Uses real world examples. Tells jokes. STUDY & youll do well on exams
You have to take this professor! Fazeli is one of the best, smartest, and funniest teachers at Hofstra. He gives plently of extra credits and is very clear on the topics covered. His tests are straight foward so if you study you will do pretty good. He's also just a great guy to spend a class with.
Fazeli is a nice guy and is easy to talk to if there is a problem. His exams are slightly difficult and he may not be as generous with the grading.
Nice guy. Knows subject matter. Recommended.
Worst grader ever!
This guy is awesome...as long as you study the notes he writes on the board, you should come close to acing the test...as for you guys that say he is a hard grader...what? How could you say he is unfair when there are 45 multiple choice where you are either right or wrong and 2 open ended questions where he is very liberal with points?
This guy is such a good professor it's ridiculous. He breaks this topic down so well and makes it so clear that it's almost like you're learning the alphabet again. He's pretty funny as well. If you want to really learn something and earn a good grade then take this guy... he makes it seem so easy
What a fantastic professor! He is a really nice guy and truly wants everyone to understand the material and do well. However, do not confuse this for easy as you will have to work for a good grade. On the bright side, his tests were very straight forward and you have only yourself to blame if you do not do well; there are no tricks at all.
Really, really nice guy. I would definitely take a class with him again. This was the easiest class of my semester. He took our class on an awesome field trip to the city where we walked around for a while and got a free dinner on hofstra's tab
Best Economics professor! OK maybe except for Robert Guttman but seriously this guy makes you love economics.He gives real life examples that make you relate to what he is saying and he cracks jokes every beginning of class.just take notes and you should do well in his class!Take him!
He is SO NICE!! Super sweet, funny and understanding, even to the retard kids in class. His tests are a bit hard but just study the notes and you will get an A. If you dont attend class/ dont have good notes, youre pretty much screwed for tests tho.
Energetic teacher. Gave the most obscure questions on exams, but otherwise, a great professor you can learn from.
How many times can this guy say yes in this class?
There are some pros and cons with Prof. Fazeli. Pro: Gives you all the test questions in class (and answers them for you), makes the sometimes difficult reading easy to understand, great sense of humor, very chill with assignments. Cons: He is not a native English speaker, so he is sometimes hard to understand (but mostly, his English is fine)...
...Cons (Cont'd): Does not provide a rubric for assignments (but doesn't expect a lot). Bottom line: 3 tests and 1 paper, not a lot of work. Interesting and easy class. Take this professor if you can!
Easy Professor ! Very Easy To Take To..only 3 Test Which are pretty much Straight forward + One Paper/Speaking Assignment! Overall Very Easy ! Take Him If You Can....
Super-Star Professor of Hofstra .He will break the things so easily and wisely . Real gentleman , very helpful , funny and really cares his students .Exams are easy enough if you read the notes and sample questions . Don't miss professor Fazeli .
A really great guy. He always has a very structured class, knows exactly what he's talking about, and conveys the material clearly. You have to pay attention to his lectures to get a good grade. If you're taking econ, definitely go with Fazeli.
This man is awesome. He literally did the entire lectures from the top of his hed each time, with perfect clarity and would reword things if you didnt understand. Curves tests, chances for extra credit, always willing to help and actually pretty funny. Take him if you get the chance, you wont regret!
Great professor.
By far the best professor I've had so far at Hofstra. I absolutely hated micro in my last semester of HS, then took it again with him in my first semester of college, and loved it! He's a good guy, always makes jokes, and thoroughly explains the material. However, his tests are rather difficult, so make sure to study for them!
Def take prof fazeli! he explains all the things so organized and understandable. and tests are easy(as long as you read his notes and the book) i got a 97 on my first test!!
BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE HAD AT HOFSTRA! If you have to take ECON take him. You must pay attention to his lectures but he knows what hes talking about and goes over everything very clearly. Gives sample questions that he answers with you & those are the exact type of questions that will be on his exams. Really nice guy and tells jokes at times
Loved the class and professor Fazeli. Teaches the class like in the old days. No powerpoint, no notes, no nothing. He just talks forever and remembers tons of cool facts. If you pay attention you will actually learn a lot about economics. Tests were hard but if you study and put on effort and time you will end up with a good grade. Must take!
One of my favorite teachers. Very intelligent man and draws connections from the text books to everyday life. Tests were easy if you study the review questions he gives you. Definitely take his class.
Fazeli keeps class entertaining and encourages kids to participate and his notes are crystal clear. He offers Extra Credit which are essential because his exams are so difficult and confusing. I would take this professor again but I would utilize office hours and extra credit if you want to get a good grade
Fazelli is the man. Does everything old-school. Tests are somewhat confusing, but if you take really good notes and ask questions there's no reason why you can't get a good grade. Final is cumulative. I'd definitely take him again.
Fazeli is an awesome teacher. If you attend all his lectures and take good notes, you never have to pick up the text book. He also gives a lot of extra credit assignments to boost your grade. I would definitely take him again!
Massoud Fazeli is very clear in his presentation. His exams come straight from his class lectures. Just come to class, take notes on what he says, and study your notes for the exam. He's a very nice man, and I enjoyed being in his class. The only bad thing was the horrible classroom the class was held in (it had chair-desks at $1125 per credit)
Lectures the whole time without anything to supplement him which is pretty amazing. Very good at lectures and gets the students to think. Makes the class interesting. Would recommend
I took ECO 001 with him during the January intersession. He never gives homework, and you will never need the textbook because what he covers in class is all that matters. However, I wish he would be more lenient when grading exams. You have to really know your stuff in order to do well on his tests. But other than that, I'd recommend taking him.
Never assigns homework. Gives really interesting examples that are relevant to the course material. There's a ton of information to memorize but you'll definitely enjoy economics with him.
Gives alot of curves and extra credit, there is no homework, only a few tests, do not skip class, everything is based on in class.
Professor Fazeli is one of my favorite professors. He really knows his stuff and will go out of his way to help students. Everything is based on the lectures, but they're usually really fun. His accent is adorable. Never assigns homework, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun Econ class. TAKE THIS MAN
Great professor. Is willing to spend time after class to help any students and during office hours. Tests are difficult if you don't study. If you do, they're pretty simple. Take good notes too.
He's a good professor, but his teaching can be unclear at times. He's a very nice guy and tries to make the class light.
Great Professor, hand writing whole time be ready to take not because that's all you need for this class, largely helped my Eco2 class even I take Eco1 for his class. Hopefully raise your grade in Summer
He is one of the best professors at Hofstra he's very kind and has great stories and he knows what he's talking about when it comes to Econ.
Fazeli is an amazing person and professor. While the material may be dry, his lectures are very interesting because he's so passionate and intelligent. I only used the textbook for study references or if I missed a class. Exams are based on lectures, so you have to attend and take notes. Offers extra credit and grades on a generous curve.
Fazeli is great! Had him for ECO 2 and am taking him again for ECO 1. Gives great lectures and take good notes because that's all you need to do well. Tests are fair and he offers extra credit. No HW and he cares about his students and is very reasonable. He's pretty funny and doesn't care about attendance but go to class if you want to do well.
Don't know how I feel about him. No homework and attendance doesn't matter. Gives 2 tests and a final and offers extra credit. Economics isn't my thing so I didn't particularly like the class. DO NOT buy the textbook. Nice guy and he takes the cluster on a field trip.
Fazeli is one of my favorite professors. I also had him for ECO 001. He makes Economics interesting and his entire class is a lecture but its clear explanations on concepts for his exams. He also offers extra credit. If I have another opportunity to take one of his classes, I would not hesitate.
I took his summer session class so it might be different than a regular semester but overall an easy class with only midterm and final. He doesn't take attendance but you need to go because the tests come exactly from the notes. He offers an extra credit book report and is a really nice guy if you need help
I cannot brag about this guy enough! He is one of the best lecturers I've had at Hofstra; he's very knowledgeable, but very casual and tells interesting stories from his traveling. If you come to class and take good notes there is no reason you can't get an easy A
during every class, he basically just gave us handouts that the 3 exams were based on. Not a cumulative final, thank goodness. as long as you really study the handouts he gives you, you will do fine. exams were 20 questions long, short answer (1-4 sentences). some exam questions were confusing but overall not bad. really nice and funny guy.
Massoud Fazeli is an absolute gem. He tests on the bulleted handouts on books that he has read, which aren't difficult, but it's hard to tell exactly which questions he's going to ask, so if you focus on the wrong things on the handouts you're screwed. However, I would 100% take him again for his sheer story-telling ability and wisdom alone.
You're graded by a few tests (4) based off of his in class lectures. The final is another test that is equal to the other three tests. He does very well bringing together a lot of subjects under the lens of economics. He also gives out worksheets with all the points he covers in in-class discussion (but you'll have to take some additional notes)
Great professor; keeps you engaged. Took this during winter session so very heavy lectures. Dont buy the book, tests are from lectures. Be prepared to take a ton of notes. Gives a review sheet as well. Attendance very important but worth it. 4 hour class but time flew.
Professor Fazeli did a great job at portraying this material in a clear and interesting way. He really cares about what hes teaching and its obvious in his lectures. You take a lot of notes in this class, so attendance is mandatory. He tests are fair-as long as you take notes in class and study you will do well! Would definitely take him again.
No homework assignments and he offers a very moderate take on the material, which is quite rare for the Honor's College. He knows a lot about economics, so he ties his lectures into that material if it applies. 2 tests and a final with extra credit papers. Out of my spring C&E, he was the better of the two by a mile!
He is by far the best professor I have ever had. It is hard to get an A, but I would definitely take him again. There is no homework, exams are short answers or multiple questions. Be ready to take a lot of notes during the class and he also provides you some questions after each chapter that help you for the exams.
Explains the topics really well and makes sure that everyone understands them. Lectures are usually fun and interesting. He gave 3 extra credit opportunities that were easy and counted towards test grades. The test questions were from chapter reviews that he gives out. He is a great prof. and really makes the class enjoyable. TAKE HIM
He is such a respected man. Really knows his material, and gives us real life examples to help tie together topics. He is so knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Please show up for his classes. He is such a sweet and nice man, but in many of my classes I was the only one who would show up :( You can tell that ever since the university started providing online options for students, it's been very hard on him. He's not good with zoom, so if you can just show up.
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS! He gives three tests. His grading of tests are terrible. I am a dean's list student, but even if you know the answer to the questions which are short answer, he will give you only partial credit on each question resulting in a low score. If you care about your GPA, please don't take this class.
Professor Fazeli is a great person and excellent professor. He gives you most of the test questions in the end of chapter reviews. On top of that, he has a great sense of humor.
Prof Fazeli was easily one of my favorite professors this semester. His class is easy if you study and pay attention during class. He gives extra credit if you ask and is more than willing to talk about tests. He also gives review sheets that share a lot of similar questions. Study and you'll be fine.
Professor is very passionate about economics. The tests are very application-based, not definition based making it confusing, and there is a lot of content on each test (7 units). Only three tests so if you do badly on one test you are kind of stuck. He did offer two reflection papers for extra credit which helped.
Professor Fazeli is a very intelligent and exciting professor to learn from. His passion and knowledge for economics are evident in everything he says. His classes are fast-paced which can leave you feeling behind at some times. His three exams, while fair, are incredibly important to your overall GPA, leaving little to no room for error.
This professor is really awesome. Hi lectures are always interesting and makes jokes throughout the class to keep us from getting bored. I don't like that he only grades on 3 test grads but his grading scale is very very nice. I finished with a 68 which on his scale is a C+. I would definitely take him again
Professor Fazeli made the transition from high school to college very easy and funny. His tests are 20 short answers but if you study the notes you will get an A. I wish this man the best he is the funniest man I have ever met.
Professor Fazeli was by far one of the most caring and understanding professors that I've had at Hofstra. I will say that although attendance wasn't mandatory in my class, it helps if you attend because all of the material on the exams is class material. Your grade is based on three (kinda difficult) exams. Study and you'll do well in this class.
An amazing professor. You are only graded by the three tests, but he offers extra credit. TAKE IT!!! I thought I didn't need it and regret it. He is sometimes a little hard to understand due to his accent, but if you sit in the front to middle of the class, you should be perfectly fine.
Prof. Fazeli was such a nice professor to have! Your ENTIRE grade is based only on 3 tests which isn't ideal, but he offers extra credit (do it). He is really kind and funny. ASK QUESTIONS AND GO TO OFFICE HOURS! He will gladly repeat/reteach anything as much as you need. I think he's the best economics professor you can get on this campus.
He is the best. Super easy class. 3 tests but they are simple, just go to him for extra help and he is super helpful and understanding. Genuinely such a sweet guys and wants to see all his students succeed. And he always waves hi when I see him on campus! One of the best professors this school has.
Fazeli is a very sweet and kind professor. He is always in a great mood and is very specific in his lectures. He offers a lot of extra credit. DO IT ALL IT WILL HELP BOOST YOUR GRADE A LOT!!!!!!! He is by far one of my favorite professors at Hofstra and if you see him walking by on campus, say hi.
prof fazeli wants his students to pass. lectures were very clear. exam were based on the info he writes on the board, so make sure to take notes. i didnt read the textbook and i still did well in his class. he curves the grades so my grade on the first exam went up to a B+. he offers extra credit and takes improvement between tests into account.
He's probably one of my favorite professors. You need to pay attention in class and take great notes. The tests are based exactly on the notes. He is a phenomenal lecturer and he made learning extremely enjoyable. I wish I had him for more courses. He is very clear and his grading is fair. Study for tests and show up to class and you will do great.
Prof. Fazeli is amazing. As long as you pay attention to all of his lectures and take good notes you will be fine. He gives out study guide sheets at the end of each class reviewing what was just taught, there is no homework, and my final was not cumulative. A good amount of extra credit opportunities offered. Funny and understanding.
Amazing professor and I honestly learned so much, made a hard class very easy to understand! Tests are entirely based on notes, study them and the sheets he gives out in class and you'll be fine!
His lectures are straightforward and understandable. Truly a wonderful professor. You are graded on 3 20 point question tests. You have to know your material. Take good notes. Otherwise, a few points off when the test is out of 20 really hurts your average. Go to class. Don't buy the textbook. It's not needed.
Awesome professor. Had him for ECO 142 and ECO 131 over the summer. Lectures are interesting. Prof. Fazeli is willing to debate and offer his own opinion. He is funny as well. The grade for the summer lectures is just 2 tests made up of 20 questions each, so you HAVE to show up and take notes. If you do that, you'll do good. TAKE HIM!
he is the sweetest man ever. he really takes the time to make sure you know and understand the material he is teaching and he explains everything very well so it is all easy to understand.
Professor Fazeli's got jokes and likes to make people laugh. However, you are only graded on three tests, each have 20 short response questions, so you need to memorize A LOT of information. You absolutely have to show up because he doesn't post notes or use Canvas, so you won't really know your final grade till the end of the semester.
Had him for ECO01. He is a very good man and his class was very interesting. Take good class notes. He does not use canvas. Grading was super easy.
Professor Fazeli is an engaging lecturer who makes learning Economics enjoyable. His classes are fast-paced, but he offers helpful review sessions and extra credit. Attending lectures and using Unstuck ai for study prep can really boost your performance.
He's a really sweet and caring professor and wants you to do well. Be sure to show up and take notes and definitely study. If anything, unstuck AI will be your best friend for the class. Bros also got jokes and is more than happy to retract anything you may not understand.
TBH, the class wasn't hard, but you ABSOLUTELY need to show up to every class since the doesn't post slides or notes. If you don't study, you will not pass. Tests were based on the review sheets he gave out, but beware, if you didn't use word for word exactly what he wanted, you won't get full credit, even if it's right.
Absolutely fantastic professor. He hands out the notes at the beginning of every class, although I would recommend taking additional notes in case because there are times where things on tests are not in the notes. Incredibly nice as a person, great thinker in general, and totally understanding in most cases.
Grade is entirely 3 exams and a book report. All are not incredibly hard, but they're a lot. 20 questions per exam, all worth the same points, including the final. He's a very nice guy, he knows what he's talking about, and likes to make people laugh. It's not a very engaging class, lectures are him reading off a printout. Good class, just boring.
He's a very hilarious and kind professor. But you ABSOLUTELY have to show up and take notes since he doesn't use canvas. He really cares for his students and wants them to succeed, and if you have any issues, he is completely understanding. I had a death in my family during the semester, and when I told him this, he was very sympathetic towards me.
He really knows his stuff. He does care for his students and is passionate about the shows. The only things you're graded on are the three exams, and if he sees improvement not just in the tests, but also your class habits (i.e participation) he'll take that into account. Also, STUDY STUDY STUDY. Tests can be difficult if you don't have good notes.
Overall, Professor Fazeli was funny and had great knowledge on what he was talking about. His lectures are interesting, but TAKE NOTES! Even with all the notes and studying I did the tests are very random (question-wise) and difficult. Papers throughout the semester count for extra credit so 100% do those. He's really sweet and caring.
Really caring professor. He knows his stuff, but the tests are by NO means easy. 20 questions all short answer, NO MC. You need to study or you won't pass. Do the extra credit. It will save your grade. Take notes, utilize study tools effectively and you'll do well.
Very lecture based course that was graded entirely on a book review and 3 tests that were all 20 questions and fully short answer. His lectures were very interesting and he definitely knew what he was talking about. Would frequently make me laugh. He was also very understanding and would be open to listening to his students.
He is a good professor and his tests are a lot like what he gives in class. However, the only grades for the semester are the exams. There is no homework and he gives no review sheets or post lectures. If you miss class you will have to get the notes from someone else. There are extra credit opportunities that help a little. Nice professor & funny!
Great Professor. The class centers on lectures. Professor talks about a lot of interesting subjects in different fields. Your grade is 3 tests made of short answer questions and a book review that provides some extra credit. Sheets covering class material and sample test questions are provided each class. It's important to show up to do well.
If you don't do well in test heavy classes, this is not the class for you. Exams are basically all of your grade, so doing bad on one could make or break your chances of passing. There are no resources on canvas to refer to. Only lectures, so attend class and have good notes taken down, and use the questions he gives in class to study.
