Great proffessor. Explains everything until everyone understands it. Widely available for office hours. Very easy exams which you get the answers for prior to the exam. If you're having a hard time with calculus...this is your guy.

really easy he takes out a lot of time to help his students easy exams straight out of the practice final overall very helpful to students

He's alright as far as explaining the concepts, but he's very technical when it comes to grading exams.

I finsihd d class w/an A-, w/c was not bad--I never did the HW, skipped a couple of classes, & occasionally listened. He is a good teachr tho. He puts math into perspective, explains the relationship between math and real life. He explains thoroughly, & the tests are easy--mostly taken 4rm the HWs

Very fair and teaches well. It is not easy to earn an A in his class.

He's a fair grader.. he teaches well as long as u pay attention in class n understand the concepts he explains... quizes r very easy n dey r based on da hw... his exams r based on math concepts.. n he doesnt ask 4 much detail math answers.. i would recommend him if ur lookin 4 a fair professor

I highly recommend this professor to those who are willing to learn Math and not just be spoon fed. He gives extra credit if he feels like it. Do his HW cuz the hard questions in the test comes from there and also the quiz questions.

Prof.Yazdani:Great. Interested in concepts(realizing the beauty of math)than plugging in numbers and BAM you're done, he is your professor. On exams, he tests to see if you know the concepts, especially the final. Posts interesting conceptual questions in class. Gives ten pop quizzes from the HW. I like how he relates math to real life situations.

I worked really hard in his class and managed to come with A.His tests are hard but they are straight from the book.Also he relates math to real life.Even though I am straight A student this is one of the classes I actually learned something useful.Take him to learn not for an easy A.Nice foundation for all later business courses, but you must work

Good professor. Clear and helpfull.

He's so smart. Although his analogies may be weird, he's very helpful. He knows his stuff. Calculus isn't an easy class. It does require practice. But if u study the manual (that's where his questions for the exams come from) you should do well.

Great teacher. I am not a strong Math student and I did get B+. He made Math interesting for me. If you are lazy don't take his class or any other class for that matter. Baruch has a good reputation and you cannot expect to be spoon fed. Do your work and you will have no complaints!

Not a bad professor. He gives small helpful talks on how to see math concepts. Remember your algebra rules before taking his class. that will help out a lot in dealing with calculus.

Take him. :)

I liked him a lot. If you are a hard worker, do your homework and follow directions you will love him. If not, he is not for you. He kept me interested in math which is more than I can say for my previous math professors.

The best professor ever! very funny and tries to relate math to real life. He is kind of hard to understand at first but you will get the hang of it no time. Do his HW because a lot of the test questions come from there. Very helpful and always answers your questions personally.Take him!He changed my perspective of math just by relating it to life

he knnows the subject and he is doing his best to help you understand it not to memorize every single formula without understanding it.so far i will encourage any student who really want to learn mathematics in any level to take him. if you do your word i garantee you that you will not regret that choice.

Make sure you'll get yourself required textbook, because you're gonna study on your own a lot!!!

I absolutely recommend Prof. Yazdani. He makes calc interesting. Obvi this subject requires you to do hw, which is where he gets exam ?'s. If you pay attention, read book, do hw, and go on calcchat.com to check your hw answers you should get the grade you desire/ deserve.

great professor but not an easy professor. his class was enjoyable and insightful. he is the kind of professor that expects you to learn on your own.

He is not bad at all! He gives examples from the book, and you have to study hard on your own. People! this is Maths, you have to do the practices question and homework. The exams are not hard. Most of them are from textbook examples and homework. If you are not lazy, you can do well in this class! A A A A

Good professor for you if you can do your homework, listen to the lectures and study examples from the TB. Sounds easy, right? That's the material all his tests come from though he doesn't check HW. 3-4 tests overall, the last test may be harder than previous ones, so make sure to study from the book. Need to carry a TB to the class.

Very nice guy. People that criticize probably didnt bother to do the work; on the other hand, its too bad he neither curves nor drops the lowest grade for exams. You also gotta lug a heavy textbook. HW isnt checked, but I highly suggest you do them.

3 Mid terms(22%each) 1 Final(33%)Not hard. He tries to teach in a way that every student in his class would understand. My suggestion is you gotta do some homework, even he doesn't collect it, coz some of them might appear in exams.

It is very easy to get a good grade if you are doing at least some homework and paying attention in the classroom.

This is the best Professor in math. He explains the way that everyone can understand and goes over the questions you have in class. Highly recommend!

Intelligent and helpful professor. I am surprised by the amount of negative comments. Probably that is because his exams emphasize more the understanding of the subject, not the ability to cram. So if you prefer and/or good at cramming, be ready for a hard work. Also this prof. taught me not only math but something more, may be without knowing it h

He's a great professor you will love him!!

The most generous and student-loving professor i've ever had in my life!!!His tests are straight from the book/homework. He does anything possible for you to succeed.

Great professor!super easy class! Highly recommended...

He is very good and generous professor. His explanations are clear and precise. The main his point is to give you an idea of the topic, and to teach you the concept. Everything else is your efforts! Take him and you will not regret. Highly recommend him!

He is a great professor. But a lot depends on your own efforts. Math is one of my favorite subjects, so I was able to follow along really well and he was very helpful, but I did study a lot on my own, and there were many in my class that were not doing as well. A lot depends on your own skill level, but the prof is very knowledgeable.

This professor is a great professor. He really teaches you calculus to the point where you understand it and not memorize formulas. If you really listen, you will understand and ace this class. I think he deserves a higher rating because when you go to the final, you'll know everything and not memorize the reviews for class exams. Take him!

Great professor! He does every and anything to help his students do well on exams. Most of his tests consist of questions straight from the textbook. Overall funny teacher must take!

I signed up for an immersion class at the college of Staten island and I was lucky enough to get this professor. Even though I'm not sure of my grade yet I'm more confident than ever before on the subject of elementary algebra and possibly more. His style of teaching is unconventional but you have to put in some effort as in anyAls class.

I liked that he gives hardest the first two test,thus he cleans the class.First test; 25% dropped.Second one another 25% dropped.From 45 students only 22 finished the class.People take this class thinking on having fun etc Here is when Math and tension get serious,if you can't handle the stress here you won't handle it in real life. Great professor

Be prepared to work in this class! Just because you did well in prior math classes will not make this one a cake walk. It is super important to keep up with the homework assignments especially the sample questions for each section. You get out of this what YOU put into it...

Math itself is not an easy subject and you need to do your part to accomplish a good grade. Four exams (drop the lowest one) 2/3, and a cumulative final 1/3. Although he does not collect hws, I highly recommend you to do them because his exams are based on hws and examples from the sections. Overall, he is a good professor. Take him.

Sarcastic, but helpful if you ask questions. Tests are harder in the beginning and progressively become easier. Tests are made up of the example questions from the textbook and the examples from class. Gives partial credit for anything. Lets you out early.

Take him! Take him! Math isn't easy but he's very nice and most importantly he's willing to help you pass this class! Great professor for math; Especially calculus! He doesn't rush through like most of the other professors! Great Professor!

He's a great professor and generous. Let's you know what's coming for his in class exams; study for them and you'll be fine. He doesn't rush through the material at all! Take him!

Prof. Yazdani teaches from the department textbook, but his lectures explain the concepts in more detail, and you have a chance to ask questions. There's a departmental final, but all of the other exams are taken from the classworktext. He explains the topics really well, if you have an opportunity to take him you should!

He's an easy going prof. I hate math, but his classes make me want to learn. He explains everything clearly, although some of his tests may be a little hard. However, he is fair.

Calculus class itself is pretty difficult, if you do homework and read the textbook you will be fine. Make sure to study for final based on samples provided online (final was almost identical to those samples). The reason I gave professor Yazdani 4 out of 5 is because he didn't really prepared us for final. Follow him in class and you'll be fine.

By far the best math professor I've ever had. It's insane how amazing he is at mathematics, his love for the subject shows and it's inspirational. Calculus is a hard subject but he let's you know what you have to study. His class is all on you, if you take good notes and study the problems he tells you to study, there's no reason you won't pass.

Took him in Fall2016. Calculus is very hard, but his lectures are very helpful to educate you to understand the important concepts. There are 3 tests and the lowest get dropped. If you pay attention in class and practice with homework, you will do well in 3 tests. Department final will be very hard, but if you worked hard, you will be fine.

He was over all a good professor. He explained things in detail and showed step by step how to solve problems. Your grade in the class is based solely on exams. He tells you exactly what will be on the exam. Attendance is not mandatory but missing class will only hurt you. I wish he spent more time on practice questions for the final and exams.

Professor Yazdani has been the best Math 2207 Professor that ive had (took the course twice). He explains things clearly and his quizzes help you better remember the material. He cares for his students and wants them to pass. Take note that I took him during the summer where it was a smaller class and where he was more accessible to students.

Professor Yazdani is an excellent professor that will make the difficult topic calculus easy for you. You will learn calculus and also get a good grade!

Webassigns are long, but there are tutorials to help you figure it out. His lectures are important because they give you a good place to start, but you need to do the more complicated questions that are on the hws and textbook. Do not underestimate the final. Practice those exams. Massoud Yazadani is a wonderful person who cares about his students.

Not going over examples both in the text and in final practice questions was my only mistake. He was so caring, and so clear, and repeated important things you probably wouldnt have otherwise considered you need to know the basics! And its so true. Study the basics. From there, he will give the concepts of calculus then you just apply it. :-)

Take him! Nice and chill guy! Do not let the previous reviews fool you. Attending lectures is the best way to learn from this class. I was worried about my grade at first since the last two tests were pretty difficult but the professor understood the difficulty of online learning for students and took that into consideration for our final grade.

Easiest math class I've ever taken. His exams were word-for-word textbook problems we did in class and hwks. He didn't even change the numbers. No calculation, mostly conceptual problems with one short proof per exam. Easy A if you do the hwk and practice problems from the book.

Class met twice per week, lectures went by fast. I hardly retained any information. Homework was very hard to catch up with, each class sessions hw assignment is at least 19 questions then multiply that by 2 and get at least 40 hw problems per week to catch up on. Didnt understand most of the lessons, though he is patient. Hard material to learn

I took calc AB in highschool and got a 5 on the AP so maybe that's why I found this class easy. The professor himself is a caring guy and has nice lectures. I did summer online classes which was everyday m-t. Show up, understand the topics, do the homework, do the quizzes and test. That's it. Typical math class

Very nice and chill professor. Lots of HW on MyMathLab , due the last day of class. Quizzes and Tests are based on the courses lecture (same exercise and numbers). If you want to pass you class, get ready to read, study math. Curves up.

He was the best math teacher/professor i've had since 9th grade- if you put the time in, do the work and study you will do well. the departmental final is brutal but Massoud has nothing to do with that- all he can do is provide you with the tools to do well. and as he says the easiest way of learning mathematics is by learning mathematics.

Professor Yazdani was a great professor. He explains the material in a way that is very easy to understand. For the tests he will likely give you very similar questions to study from and is very willing to help you succeed whether that is staying late for a few minutes to explain a concept over again, etc. Overall, take him if you get the chance.

Dont sleep on him,, helped me pass with a great grade after struggling in past semesters. 10 out of 10, would reccomend to a friend.

This professor was so good compared to the one last semester. I was able to pass because he made the concepts easy to understand! He also has an example-based way of teaching, so you learn the concepts and how to apply them without all the rules and formulas that can confuse us. A lot of my classmates did really well, would recommend him!!

Professor Yazdani what is the best math teacher I ever had. Pre-calculus is a hard subject, but he makes it easier to understand. He does give three examples and your math lab is counted as one exam, however, he drops your lowest grade. The exams help you prepare for the final, he also prepares you for the exams by giving you questions to focus on.

You will learn more than math in his class like logic and advice which are really helpful. He is very enthusiastic about teaching the material and he explains very clearly.

He is very straight forward with what he expects from the class. He doesn't curve but the exams come from the textbook and homework and generally contain of the questions that you do in class as well.

The Professor make come out as cold and sometimes rude, but he is a really good professor. He doesn't like being asked a lot of questions- especially while he's teaching. At first I didn't like this professor but he is actually really good. You can tell he LOVES math. Though beware, you will have at least 1 short quiz every week.

Caring Professor. May seem like a lot at first, but he does help students as the semester goes on.

I genuinely loved professor Yazdani. He is willing to help you with understanding the material. At first he may seem to be cold, but you get to know him better as the semester progresses. He does a good job at teaching the material. 5/5 Professor!

Professor Yazadani was an amazing professor during the Fall 2023 semester. From the first day of class, he stated the necessary tools to pass the course. He takes attendance, and his grading system consists of 10 pop quizzes, an online homework grade, 3 department tests (he prepares you for them), and 1 final exam. I would take him again!

Professor Yazdani is brilliant and passionate about mathematics. At first, I didn't like him, however, he grew on me over time. He comes off as cold and heartless at first, but deep down he only wants the best for his students, work hard in his class and you will be rewarded with a good grade in the end. Interest and dedication is the key with him.

Professor Yazdani is an amazing professor; he is a little bit tough, but he only wants the best for his students. Quizzes have really helped me a lot to boost my grade. I will recommend him.

We had 3 Tests, and some Quizzes sprinkled in between. The quizzes do a good job preparing you for those tests . He's kinda tricky to ask for help sometimes but he does teach pretty good in my opinion it was easy for me to follow his lectures. If you pay attention and look over the tests/quizzes he gives back it should be pretty easy.

5/5 Professor!

I was returning to school after not being there for almost 5 years and at first I was concerned that I would not remember everything but he was very caring and did not make me feel stupid at all. He was very helpful and always willing to help despite having some difficulty hearing. He help boosted my GPA and this is my first review ever, take him!

I took his class in Fall 2023 and he was awesome despite the class being so early. He has 3 exams and some quizzes. There are also mathlab homework that you'll have to do. He doesn't do curves but does drop the lowest grade you have. He follows the textbook but you don't really need it as his lectures covers what you need to study for/ know.

I took him in Fall 2021. His lectures were difficult online, however he was helpful through email or asking questions in class. He was very caring.

I took Professor Yazdani Fall 2023 and in Spring 2023. For Math 1030 he was clear about his grading system. Honestly the best professor ever!!! He was extremely helpful and cared about each of his students. He would explain the concepts clearly, however he would not accept questions through his lecture. Overall I had a B+ in 1030 and A- in 2001.

He was an amazing professor! We had the chapter homeworks on math lab due by the end of the semester. Weekly quizzes for basic understanding, usually it would be based on what he taught the previous class. He explains each concept carefully! There were three exams and pretty much straight to the point, however you should pay attention and study!

BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! HONESTLY TAKE HIM!! My friend had a different professor compared to me, she wished she swapped for him. He is so nice & willing to explain for you to understand. Take notes to look back on when studying. Quizzes are given but are like 5 questions or 10 depends. Mathlab is due by the end of semester. I took him in Spring'24.

He can seem cold, however I was able to adapt to his expectations. There are 11 weekly quizzes, however if you are doing HW and attending class you will have no problem. Those 11 quizzes count for 1 test grade, same for HW. There are 3 in-class tests and he will drop the lowest one. His class is literally intended to pass.

He can come be very standoff-ish and may rub people the wrong with with his remarks. He does genuinely care to help you learn and pass. He's a forgiving grader and will often be generous with partial credit on quizzes and tests. Just show up, study, and do the work and you will pass.

Excellent, very passionate professor. Lowest test and quiz grades both get dropped, and he tries his best to give you points even when you're not completely right. There is also a homework module due at the end of the semester that you can finish at your own pace.

I cannot say enough good things about Professor Yazdani. He greatly cares for his students and really wants them to leave understanding math not knowing math. Cracks jokes during class and you can tell is extremely passionate about math in general. Math was not my strong subject but after his class I am much more confident in it. Take him!

"the best way to learn math is to LEARN math" this is go to quote! He wants every student to understand what is going on in class and passionate. He is also not tech-savvy, which isn't a big deal unless you are a big emailer. Takes long for the first few chapters, so be prepared to somewhat rush towards the end. In general he is very sweet!

He really knows his material, if you failed the previous sem, TAKE HIM FOR THE NEXT!!! Organized, all subjects are taught pretty decently well, he seems cold but he's really chill, you just got to lock in for the subject and it'll feel lightweight. 2 tests and 4 quizzes, all are lightweight again.

Take his course and make sure you pay attention in class! I've always struggled with math, but he made a huge difference for me in this course. He genuinely cares about his students and truly wants you to succeed.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!! I cannot stress enough if you take him, just lock in and focus, he will HELP YOU PASS!!!

Made math really easy to learn. All of the homework is due a day before the semester ends. I didn't think Baruch had good math professors until I met him.

He prepped me well for the department final after failing MTH 1030 twice. He gives exams and quizzes that reflect what you'll likely see on the department final. He encourages that you ask questions but sometimes he can be a little sassy or argue with the students when they ask something. Also likes to crack jokes and throw shade at students

I have always been generally good at math, but I never GENUINLY understood everything I was doing until I took his course. I would know how to solve problems, but I could never explain the math behind them. He is fantastic at bringing concepts down to a base level and truly cares about making sure his students understand what he is teaching.
