i had mehdi for bio 101 and anatomy and physiology. he had been one of my favorite teachers. he isn't above joking around with his students but he is very good at explaining things. you don't really need a text book because he he tests straight from his lectures and he is very clear in what you will need to know for tests and quizezs. he is great!

Good overall teacher. He knows what he is talking about and has a sense of humor.

He always has a smile on his face and brings happiness to the classroom. It makes learning easier that way. He's got a great sense of humor. His A&P class isn't difficult. A fair warning:if you are already in a health care career or are knowledgeable with A&P; don't act like you know it all. He will NOT like you. Joke with him and he will love you.

Mehdi Borhan is a very expressive and fun teacher. He will keep you interested. Stay for the labs and study the models to do well on the lab tests. He has a charming accent. If you don't understand something tell him and he will repeat it or use a different word, but he speaks very good english.

Mehdi is an overall good teacher. You take all notes from his verbal explanation. The information isn't easy, but if you study his notes well, you can ace his tests with little/no problem. At times can get hot-headed when it comes to asking him questions, I would rate his professionalism lower than normal. Does have sense of humor most times.

To put it simply, he is a teacher who loves to teach! And takes personal interest in how well you are doing in his class. As long as you show effort, and your focus is on learning the stuff and not of making a grade. His classes will be a breeze.

Fun class. A lot of study time required but doable

Mehdi is great. He truly cares about his students. It is one of the best classes Ive ever had!!

I really liked Mehdi as a teacher. His accent is a little hard to get used to at first, but he is funny and will do ANYTHING to help you. This class requires a lot of studying and memorizing, but Mehdi gives you plenty of class time to study. He's so great! If you're interested in healthcare, there isn't a better anatomy teacher out there.

Mehdi was a great teacher, very helpful, if you study you will do great!! This class is not easy, lots of memorization, and alot of info!! All test were from his notes, no textbook needed, I don't think I used it at all!! He does have an accent but if you didn't understand him, just ask and he will repeat it.

I took anatomy in the Fall of 09'. There is a lot of information to learn and this class requires a ton of studying. He is very helpful and even will show up on weekends to help you in the lab. He does have an accent but it doesn't impair communication or teaching. As long as you are motivated and have study skills an "A" is achievable.

Mehdi is an awesome teacher. I have taken Bio 101, 109 and now I am taking 110 all with him because he is by far my favorite teacher at Blue River. His accent is not a problem after the first 5 minutes. As long as you pay attention it is totally possible to get an A.

I've taken his class for Bio 110 and am now in his BIO 109 class, and he has been my favorite teacher through my almost 3 years of college so far. Yes, he is a difficult teacher, but he gives you all the information that you need for his tests. If you have a question in his class, he is more than happy to answer you and when he lectures he goes s

My problem was not Mehdi, but the subject! Mehdi is a great teacher and he definitely knows his subject. I took anatomy to fulfill my biology requirement, but I wish I would have taken a different biology class with him...I think I would have liked it a lot better!

Mehdi is an excellent teacher! He has a great sense of humor and really keeps the class interesting. He knows his stuff! He is by far one of my favorite teachers I've had in college so far. His exams come straight from his lecture so pay attention and take good notes. Know the models well. He really does not try to make the class too difficult. I believe I will receive an A! Oh, one other thing... NEVER TOUCH THE COURSE ADJ KNOB ON THE MICROSCOPE WITH ANYTHING BUT 4X IN PLACE. He'll get you. ;)

offers extra credit seminars and drops lowest test grade. tests over notes. very funny teacher. :)

I really enjoyed his class! I am not good at all with Science and I took his A&P class and finished with an A. His test our from your notes all you have to do is pay attention and study and you will do good. He's very funny and makes class very interesting. I would take him for every science class if I could!

(Environmental Science) He's a hard teacher and many personalities clash with his, but if you are truly there to learn and care about the subject you will get along with him just fine. He can seem a little intimidating, but he's a great guy if you give him a chance and don't disrespect him.

Medhi was an excellent teacher. I absolutely loved his Summer Anatomy course. He made notes super easy and never gave pop quizes. He gave us exactly what we needed to know in his little lab note packets. He was very clear of what he wanted you to learn in his class. If he writes it on the board ITS VERY IMPORTANT. He's kinda bad at spelling tho.

He's a good teacher. Play around a lot but get the job done. Don't get to his bad side you will be fine. Don't really need the book save your money on some other things. Take your time to study his test isn't hard.

Mehdi was great. Clearly, he's very passionate about his subject, and it shows in his lectures. He's very excitable, and is prone to going off on entertaining if not somewhat irrelevant, tangents throughout his lectures. He was very fun and informative, and as long as you took notes and studied after each class, you'll get a good grade. Take him!

Definitely an awesome teacher! Very intelligent man.

Mehdi is a great teacher, he really cares about the students and how well they actually retain the information. You will have to study, but if you study his notes from his lecture you will do great on the test. Mostly multiple choice tests, but will have a lab as well. Awesome teacher, I would choose him to be my teacher for the rest of my career!

Really nice guy. Very knowledgeable, his tests are pretty much straight from the notes. Doesn't hurt to read the book before class, the course takes a pretty quick pace. Overall, would take another of his classes, very nice and easy to approach for help.

Math and Science in an 8-week summer semester was murder on me but Mehdi was a delight. Don't miss class or leave early. Study his book and notes DAILY. I underestimated how much studying I'd need. Most inspiring prof at Blue River. Huge heart. Give respect and you'll get it back. I learned so much that my CPhT CE's were easier. Great class.

I took Mehdi's summer class, and even though I gave up my summer he made it worth it. Mehdi really cares that his students do well, and will tell you all the time that you need to do what has to be done. Most of his tests are average difficulty. Be in class, and really study the lab manual he gives you. It has everything you need to pass the class.

I have had Mehdi for two different classes. Bio 101 and A&P. I found his classes amazing. I am now a science teacher myself at a secondary school and refer back to many things he taught me. Prepare to study and ask for clarity on things you do not understand. I once argued a question on the test and he did change my score.

Mehdi is one of my favorite teachers. He is difficult to understand at first but it gets easier to understand him after a few days. He does not do study guides, so be prepared to read. If he repeats anything... It's in the test. Take good notes of lectures and use as study guide.

Human Anatomy is not the easy class I expected. Do not miss a moment of it. He fills each second. Focus on lectures, take notes you will understand later, read and comprehend all the associated text sections (don't rely on lectures alone), go over EVERY note daily because repetition solidifies, eat and rest well. Hardest class. Most inspiring prof.

This class is tougher than you think when you hear, "human anatomy." Don't miss class. Lecture heavy, follow up with reading text, take good notes, and study everything daily. Not kidding. No study guides, no prizes for doing what you must. Prof is inspiring/motivational, but student bears responsibility for grade. Take no add'l rigorous classes.

After being out of school for 16 years I was nervous to go back!! Anatomy is HARD! But, Mehdi is awesome. He made my first semester back a memorable one! Take notes, stay for lab the entire time, study your notes and you will be fine. Its not easy and he tells you that from the begining. It takes WORK. He gives amazing lectures. Love him!!

Mehdi was one of those teachers that makes you work for it. That wasn't to say his class was bad, on the contrary, it was one of the best educational experiences I have ever had. The material was hard, but he lays it all out for you in great detail. His lectures were interrupted by amazing motivational speeches that inspired you to keep going.

He's hard to understand but he knows a lot. Everything you need in order to pass this class is in the lab manual. Study and learn it and you'll do well!

He explains complex concepts really easily and his exams are directly from the notes. He doesn't post his notes online so make sure to go to class. A lot of people complained that he didn't really teach, but anatomy is mostly memorization so if you used your time wisely, you'll do well. He is really funny and cares about you! Very inspirational!

Lecture heavy. Cares about his students. Grades are pretty much based off of test scores.

You have to study, is a lot of memorization, if you do not feel like learning and you do not have time, do not take this class, it's a difficult class, a lot of memorization He just gives you the material and you have to study on your own, and sacrifice a lot of your time if you want a good grade. Its simple He is the tool you chose how to use it.

Mehdi is a hard teacher, but he knows his stuff. Make sure you take notes during the lectures and study them! Never used the text book. Lab portion is self directed, but you are expected to know the material through self-study. Great personality. Overall he cares about his students, but this is not a class you can slack in and expect to pass.

Mehdi is an amazing teacher but jokes a lot. Don't take his jokes to heart! Took his time to explain the content of the subject. To pass, you have to attend classes and take notes and study them in depth. His tests come from his notes. Tests are almost weekly. I took the class in Summer 18 and we had 6 tests. Stay for your labs, Don't leave.

Very tough but knows his stuff. Anatomy isnt an easy class so you have to put in work regardless. Hes very sarcastic and likes to joke around, dont be too sensitive about it. Ask for help, he will provide it. Always had 3-5 extra credit points per test. Work hard and youll be on his good side.

I've taken Mehdi for multiple classes; anatomy, nutrition and medical terminology. I think he's a great teacher. He can get off topic during lectures at time, but he knows what he's talking about when it comes to teaching. He cares about his students and is quite funny as well. Come to class, take good notes, study and you should do fine.

Mehdi is the most caring professor I've had. He loves his job and love coming to class and gets to really know his classmates. I did have to do quite a bit of studying for both classes I've taken, but just take really good notes during his lectures, study those, and you'll definitely pass! He is very personal and you'll really love his class.

Mehdi was a great teacher!! He has a great sense of humor. I would definitely take again!! His lectures were easy to follow, rarely gave pop quizzes, and test were not too bad. Definitely need to study and memorize a lot.

I have taken Mehdi for Human Anatomy and Nutrition. He is an interesting man! His classes are very lecture heavy. Take good notes and ask lots of questions if you don't understand! His tests are based purely on his lectures, but you can use the textbook for additional information! I would recommend Mehdi as he is very knowledgable.

Not the blow-off class you expect. Take notes you'll understand later. Read associated text. Study everything you've learned, daily. Study group helps. Conversations about information helps. You must make this class your girlfriend. Don't take another class while taking this one or you'll get a C like I did. If I retake, it will be with Mehdi.

It seems like a lot of students didnt like him, but they also werent the students scoring high on exams. If youre a good student and youre willing to put in the hours to study then Mehdi is absolutely a great professor. I loved his class. He goes very in depth and teaches concepts in an order that they make sense to the attentive student.

His accent was hard to get used to but the way he incorporated humor and real life examples into his teachings was fascinating. I would recommend this class to any nursing student and make sure you pay attention to all of the lectures and print the notes.

Mehdi can be intimidating at first. Jokes around a lot with the class. Overall is a pretty great professor. He has a heavy accent which can be tough during lecture and note taking because he tells you what to write for notes. Had to have him repeat things but he never got frustrated. Tests are HARD. Study. Very passionate about Science and Biology.

I enjoyed Mehdi's personality and his straightforwardness about the class. He would tell you exactly what to write down so that you could study the notes every day. However, you had to study completely in your own discipline. He didn't provide study guides and there was zero homework which made it difficult, and unclear on what was expected of you.

Mehdi Borhan is one of my favorite professors I've had the chance to take classes with. He's a fair grader, excellent at guiding your comprehension, and very friendly. He'll have conversations with anyone about anything.

Mehdi is friendly, caring, and his lectures are a lot of fun. His syllabus is a dream come true without the 3 weekly assignments you get from other 5hr courses. There is a lot to study, but your future instructors/bosses won't accept "I don't know because it wasn't on the study guide." Sweat hard in training so you don't have to in nursing school.

One of the best teachers I've had. He truly cares about his students and wants all of them to succeed. Also has a great sense of humor. Test is strictly from notes. Just know your notes like the back of your hand, make sure you study the lab models, try your best to never miss a class and you are guaranteed an A. We didn't use the textbook either.

Mehdi is such a great person, but he can be extremely tough. I have never learned more in my life than I did in this past semester. This class is very tough but extremely worth it in the long run because of how much information you learn and how prepared you feel for the future. Don't leave the labs early, study and make sure to do extra credit!

Mehdi is one of my most favorite professors i've ever had. This class is no doubtable one of the most hardest classes you'll take but Mehdi provides all the information needed for his tests. Its all a matter of how much studying and memorizing you do. MEMORIZE YOUR NOTES! All tests are multiple choice but the model identification is not.

Mehdi's class is challenging, but engaging. Utilize unstuck study and focus on mastering the lecture notes - that's the key to success. It's worth the effort!

Everything mentioned in the lectures was on the exams, nothing we never talked about in lectures was ever on an exam. He allows you to work by yourself for lab time but can always ask questions if needed. He is knowledgable, but does carry a sense of humor with him. Lots of studying if you want to pass with an A, as it is with any professor.
