This instructor tends to get off the subject and rambles on and on about situations that do not pertain to the subject. He makes many mistakes when grading exams.

Took this class in the summer. 3 and a half hours of lecture a day, 5 days a week for a month with hours of HW every single night. Besides that, he is a great lecturer, very clear and makes concepts easy to understand. Tests are straightforward, like the homeworks, but can be tough at times. TLDR: tough class, great professor.

First time I have understood Algebra, EVER. Professor is very passionate and inspiring. I left the class with a new found love for Math. Go to class, do the homework, you will do great. 4 tests, lowest one is dropped. One final, one short paper. The homework is from the textbook. He does like to talk sometimes but if you listen, its INTERESTING!!!

Mr. Hassanpour is an inspirational amazing professor! He teaches everything step by step. He assigns homework but for you to practice the math problems. The exams are the same like the homeworks so if you do your homework and understand it you will get an A! :) He drops the lowest exam grade as well. He doesnt have an accent!

He is very good at teaching the material but makes fun of you if you ask questions about easy things. He talks a lot and if he gets mad at you he'll tell you something in front of everyone like I was touching my friend's hair and he told me to stop even though I wasn't disrupting anything.

He issues out homework, but it's not mandatory. It's so that you can practice. He has 5 tests and one essay. He teaches great, but you have to pay attention. In the beginning, the class was 32, and at the end of the semester, it was 11. He doesn't offer retakes or reschedules. I failed the first 2 tests and that straightened me out to try harder.

For one, he talks a lot. He also talks really fast and goes off topic quickly so be ready to listen because the minute you snooze off you'll get so confused. He is a funny teacher at times and knows when to break a laugh occasionally. Gives out homework but wont check it, mainly for your benefit. Miss a class ? You'll probably miss a chapter or 2.

He's an awesome professor most people don't enjoy him as a professor because they either don't show when you have to or don't pay attention in class.

There were very few assignments, so if you get a bad grade on one it impacts you a lot. There also wasn't much guidance in the course, he just has you read the textbook, look at some youtube videos and do textbook problems, so unless you're confident and good at Calculus I suggest taking another professor.

Mr. Hassanpour, is one of the best teachers i have ever had he awoke a passion for mathematics that i never realized i had. He is an inspiring teacher and a great one too.

Waste of money and time, even if you do not have a life, you will not have enough time to finish all the homework he assigns and learn at the same time. And if you do not learn you will not be able to pass the tests because he wants you to buy a camera beside the one you have on your computer so he can make sure you are not cheating.

I have been good at algebra in the past though. 4 hw, 4 quiz, midterm, final and '5' page essay (one page is cover page and one is work sited so really a 3 page essay) He wont out front tell you what you missed but if you ask he helps!!

While Professor Hassanpour is kind, his teaching fails to cover most of the material tested on the midterm, final, and four exams. Lectures often go off-topic, and he doesn't provide reviews. No matter how hard you study, the exam questions are not taught in his lectures, leaving students unprepared for Calculus III.

Professor Hassanpour's style is old school; text book and white board teaching. Very knowledgeable in mathematics. Put your work in and be in class to pass, (as one should). Have to remember all rules/formulas but his style makes you learn the material. Will help and explain further if one asks questions. Definitely would take again.

Excellent professor who gives plenty of examples and helps when you have questions. The other reviews are accurate. The course has 4 quizzes, 4 Turn in assignments, a midterm, and a final. If you don't practice outside class, don't take him. The quizzes are based on the "practice HW" you don't turn in. He is also a Super nice person.
