An excellent professor to take in the math department. In my opinion you will learn a lot of math even if you don't like it. He tries his best to make as simple for the students but that doesn't mean the class is easy but you learn
No Comments
a great professor, i took him in summer 2004. I learned a lot- he has you memorize formulas, but overall it serves its purpose and working out the problems earns you points altough the answer may be wrong. Great teacher overall. highly recommended!!!
He was a great teacher and very easy to understand.
basically u will learn the material easier than any other professor. he gives examples and he is very happy bout his job like mathematics. he explains pretty easy and his tests are very straight foward. he's a fun kind of guy to talk with and ask questions bout. very helpful and understanding. my reccomendation take this person. he doesnt care bou
very helpful
He seems to care a lot about his students and will work hard with them so they will pass. Great instructor he is the definition of the word teacher.
Awesome Prof. Took him for Summer II 2005. I owe him so much. I love math so much and thanks to him I learned a lot. He's so great with his students. Treat him well he's a treasure!
Very good teacher, makes you understand math. I took him Sum II 2005 and he was the best math teacher i've ever had.
Nice guy, too much homework compared to other professors, he was too hyper, I felt he went too fast.
He was a good proffesor but too much homewrok. Extremely hiper when it came to teaching.. But overal he is good. got a B,
Attendance is optional but you will be lost if you miss class. Each section builds from the previous section. He is helpful but if you have too many questions he suggests going by his office or going to tutoring. Book is used mainly for homework. Very good instructor. His lectures are straight forward and he asks frequently if everyone understands.
Well, he does give out a lot of homework but he does know what he's talking about. You can tell this man loves his math. I've taken other math teachers that were easier. I guess he's okay.
i did go to class it was optional. be ready to hear "sucker","thank goodness", and "keep truckin".. haha.. good guy..lotsss of work. and his tests are all free response close to 14 problems. eh he was okay. i never studied, but the people in class were constantly studying. warning this is probably the hardest calculus course you will ever TAKE!
He is the best....and he makes you fall in love with math...I highly recommend himm!!!he is extremely helpfull
He was an awesome teacher. There is a lot of homework that isn't mandatory but if you do it you'll be more likely to pass. his test are free response but he gives credit even if it's the wrong answer! Very helpful.
Wonderful Teacher. He really cares about what he is teaching. Available if you have any questions....Yes lots of homework, but you will learn by doing it. Yes he gives you credit for not giving up and asking questions...Love Math Now1! :)
Very good professor, always tries to help out students as much as possible. Easy if you actually do the homework. One of the nicest and funniest professors.
His an incredible professor you get to math easy by just doing his homework assignments because all his test are from the homework all his does is change the numbers around.
If you just to your homework, you pretty much have the test easy.
i could never understand his accent! (not trying to be mean, just being honest) i had to drop after failing two exams, i did manage to pass one but only because i studied straight off the book, i mean i literly learned from the book, i looked at the homework he assigned and looked at each step in the book to solve it! he talks to much off subject!
What a man he brings such a wonderful vibe to the classroom which is an important thing when it comes to teaching. Mathematics is my subject where it takes me a little longer to understand but Dr. Hassanpour helped with his skillful knowledge on the subject. I highly recommend him for College Algebra. He knew his material and knew how to presen
Awesome College Algebra Teacher. Does give homework, but if you try your best you will pass for sure. Very good sense of humor and you can tell he loves math. Outgoing and super helpful
This COLLEGE ALGEBRA course was easy for me. He explains e-v-e-r-y-thinig very well, lets you ask questions & then does 3-4 problems the next time from homework. Then moves on. You do have to turn in a paper @ then end of the semester, but no biggie! Recommend! Especially if you need more math, you'll be prepared.
he will help you if you need it but in summer it is hectic and no matter how much you practice it is difficult to manage everything all at once .If i had a better teacher I would have probably done better.
Great teacher. He keeps you on your toes and isn't afraid to help lost students.
GReat Professor.Explains material well. I HATE math but he made it pretty easy.Definetly recommend him.
this teacher is alright. he goes kind of fast. he is super hyper. he goes off subjedct A LOT for like 15 to 20 minutes. he LOVES math. i wouldnt recommend him to anybody.
i wouldn't reccomend this teacher to anybody....he goes really fast and always gets out of subject....the homework he gives us he doesn't even take it for a grade....he's not a good teahcer!!!!
He's a great professor! I hate math and always struggle, but he made it interesting and has such a passion for it! He does get off subject, but not enough to hinder your learning outcome. He's great. The tests are exactly what he lectures. I would definitely advice you to take him for college algebra! :)
summer is hectic ..you gotta bust your brains and he does not help..it is toooo fast specially with his accent and talking it is just hard. had to get tutoring.to accomplish and understand.Maybe regulas semester would help.if you suck in math ruuunnn.
He is a good teacher but tends to go off topic and starts to talk about something else. He explains everything well, you just need to pay attention. He talks fast and sometimes gets annoying. He says " Lord have mercy", "Stupid thing", "Stupid" and other stuff, but he is a good to teacher to have for college algebra. He is also funny!!!
i wouldn't reccomened this teacher to anyone! he was always getting off topic and very hard to understand he didn't take the homework for a grade!
GREAT PROFESSOR
Mr. Hassanpour is super hard.. When he lectures he always mentions the word "stupid" and after every sentence he says he finishes with "And that's the end of that beloved story." His Exams are Comprehensive. They are not multiple choice like other math teachers. I would recommend Ms Hanan Amro. She is easy. :)
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. He needs to concentrate more when it comes to grading. He does not collect homework for a grade, which is a minus on the student's part. He talks too much about his religous views.
I took Professor Hassanpour for College Algebra and I LOVED it! His tests are not multiple choice, but with his teaching style, that doesn't even matter! 4 Tests and Final. Drops 1 test grade. I got three 100s and one 97! He made learning so fun that I looked forward to going to class! I recommend him! Danke Professor Hassanpour! Math IS beautiful!
HE is the BEST Teacger that i met in my life. He very friendly and understandable mind. I am a high school student in my school i didnt learn that much math but with him my right now with hime it is very easy. HE know what to teach very well. I used to be hate math but not anymore he makes math a best friend and easy and like to learn his math. He

He's been teaching this for 30 years!! Of course he knows what he is talking about! Great teacher and loves the subject which shows his passion during teaching. Yes, he goes off topic sometimes, but keeps you interested and awake. He will offer help after class if you have questions.
he is a great teacher he might sometimes go off topic but his lectures are very clear. he is very helpful, the homework assignments are similar to the notes and his exams are like the homework if you want to pass you need to attend class!!! even if you are not good in math you will do good in this class
VERY PASSIONATE IN WHAT HE TEACHES. IF YOU DO THE HOMEWORK AND UNDERSTAND IT, YOU WILL DO FINE IN THE EXAMS. SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHOW UP TO CLASS EVERYDAY BECAUSE HIS LECTURES ARE EXACTLY WHAT IS ON THE HOMEWORK AND EXAMS. THE CLASS I'M TAKING IS BUSINESS & ECONOMIC STATISTICS.
hes awesome! made me LOVE math. Hes funny, never boring, he gets off the topic but you will learn from everythings he says wether it be math related or not. he explains everything very well. he gives easy exams but you have to do your part ofcourse. BEST math teacher i know. totally recomend him! =)
Great guy! Really cares about teaching and the students. As long as you listen, take notes and and do all the homework you will do great.
Great professor! Just do all the homework and ask questions when stuck. Textbook is needed! He doesnt care about attendence but when not present for one day of class you miss alot of info.
COLLEGE ALGEBRA WAS SO HARD WITH HASSANPOUR. I spent most of my semster in tutoring. Take my honest advice dont take him. I struggled and the only reason i passed was because i got tutoring and that was by a hair. By the middle of the semester most of the students had dropped. Do yourself a favor and don't wate time and take a diff. prof.
Easy teacher with a funny sense of humor. Unless you're a moron, you'll get a good grade.
Took his class Summer 1 an ended up with a B. He will teach you the technique and you must go home and practice what you learned because its the only way that you will pass. If you are a person who studies at home you will pass.
Great Professor! he does know how to teach math and very dedicated in his job. He's a very motivative person willing for everyone to pass his class and succed in life. Very Helpful when stuck. Class is interesting and he's a very Funny man.
EASY TEACHER 4 EXAMS DROPS THE LOWEST GRADE PLUS THE FINAL... ATTENDANCE NOT REQUIRED NO HOMEWORK TO TURN IN...AS LONG AS YOU STUDY THE ASSIGNMENTS HE GIVES YOU OUT OF THE BOOK YOU'LL PASS
He was great! I took him summer session, which turned out very well. He did an EXCELLENT job of explaining the work. He graded fairly, and didn't give out too much homework. He had the tendency to get off topic during his lectures, but he was very nice and taught well. Take him!
This professor always uses the word "estupid" but he teaches well if you understand calculus. Do your homework which i did not do and that is why i gor a C. you should be alright if you study at home otherwise you will fail.
Great Professor! If math isn't your forte this is the class for you! I wasn't very good at math entering the class and I came out a mathematician. I strongly recommend him, the work load is small but you should make an effort. Its definitely not a BLOW OFF class, practice what he says and you will PASS for sure.
Great proffesor l!!!!!
Extremely helpful. just do your hw practice a little and thats it the exams do come from the hw. awesome teacher will recommend on anyone at stc college
This professor is understanding, his lectures are a little boring. On some days he would be entertaining and some days I couldn't wait to go home. Just do your homework.
I would pray to get this professor again. His lectures give EVERYTHING you need to know. Write the exuation, and take good notes on how to solve the problem. SIMPLE. Do the homework the day before the review and you will have a great understanding for the exam. Exams are NOT multiple choice, but not difficult if you pay attention. GREAT personality
Very good professor! Would highly recommend to anyone who needs to take college algebra. Interacts with students. Easy tests. The book was needed to do homework.
Great professor! Pretty funny guy! Homework is not turned in but u must do it to understand the material. Got an A with a little effort.
He went by so fast. Literally. SO FAST. He got off topic really quickly which is not good when it comes to math. Hardly funny. Likes to think he is. (He isn't.) When I writes notes, he would get in the way of the board, and I would be two steps behind from what he was teaching. I had to learn from the book (which didn't really help). Don't take him
Great professor!! I highly recommend him. I passed with a B but If you go to class & take good notes you can get an A. 4 exams & 1 final. He drops the lowest scored exam. Oh & one easy paper due at the end of the semester. Take him!!
I never rate my professors, but this one was a must! He is an amazing professor, not only does he have a passion for math but you end up having one too!! You will enjoy his class, he takes his time to answer any questions and shows you step by step the new formulas. Just do the homework, ask questions and enjoy!!
Great professor. Shows all examples on how to work out problems but one must go home n do homework for practice if u expect to do well in class. Attendance not mandatory, but u will miss a lot if u miss class. Professor is funny at times and makes class interesting. Got an A for College Alg...summer 2 now taking business calculus with him for fall.
Well I definitely have to say,this is the best professor I ever took. He is also probably the most helpful professor I had as well. There are five exams including the final. They aren't multiple choice but that doesn't matter. He gives you credit if you follow the right steps.If your looking for a great college professor, your search is over.
This professor is a very friendly and funny. His class is easy only if you do your part by practicing the math and learning it. I have taken both College Algebra and Business Cal with him and have gotten an A and a B when I sort of slacked off. If you dedicate time to math(homework) and attend class regularly, u will excel in this class.
one of the best professors I've had. class is not easy obviously its algebra but he does a great job at teaching. he explains well and makes it fun. don't miss a class or else you will be lost. he does not pickup homework but in order to learn you need to do it. if you fail this class its your own fault for being irresponsible.
Best Teacher Ever !!!
Great teacher, and very demanding on the exams
He is a good professor when it comes to teaching. The only bad thing is that he rushes the lessons. I went to visit him to his office and I felt rushed out of there. Everyone was always too uncomfortable to ask questions. He gets upset easily.
He is a hard professor . He only gives two examples which are very different from the homework. Don't take him for cal 1
This professor does not belong in STC. He is a super upper level. I would really recommend him for higher university. Best teacher ever, funny, smart and clear. He inspired me to become greater in life.
This guys is very smart and he teaches really good, you have to dedicate time to his class if you want to get a good grade, he is very demanding which makes the course a challenge, i dont regret taking his class. Just study hard and you'll pass.
he is amazing. The semester before I took this class (different teacher) and dropped it. But when I took this class it was very good. He is funny, smart and knows what he's doing, and if you need help outside of class he will help you in his office. from dropping that class the semester before I ended up with a B+ with him. procrastinators beware
This professor was amazing! I had to drop Pre cal with another professor. And I took this course in the summer, so its at a faster pace, and I was able to keep up. He explains everything in simple terms. He's also enthusiastic about math, which makes you feel better about learning it.
Dr. Hassanpour was an amazing instructor. If you are lazy don't take his class. I don't regret taking him, he really did help me learn math. He shows you the stuff in a very clear way. He always says the word ''stupid'' which is really funny!
By far my favorite professor! Took the class in the summer during the World Cup, and soccer was mainly what he would talk about during class. Nice, funny, understanding, and a very helpful professor. Do your assigned homeworks and you shouldn't have a problem earning a B or an A!
Best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was nervous about this class, honestly after the first class with Dr. Hassanpuor I loved math and now it is my passion. The only thing is i wish I coukld take every class with him, but not possible. but I am thankful for the class i had with him. if you are willing to learn this is the right professor to take.
He is awesome teacher, If I can I would take chose his course again. I recommend this course, text book need it for do the homework.
If you are gifted at math then take this class, but if it is your worst subject, like mine, I HIGHLY recommend taking an easier professor. HW and attendance are not mandatory unless you want to pass. One essay and he gives 5 exams total and drops the lowest, but these are the ONLY grades you get so if you fail the first two, you're screwed.
excellent professor. good option if you really want to learn. PRACTICE, AND MORE PRACTICE!!!!!
He's an amazing teacher. He actually teaches the material and makes sure you understand it. He has an accent, but you get used to it after the first day. I wish I could've taken him for Cal 2. You don't need the book to pass, but if you want to do the HW and get a better understanding, you need the book.
He is a great teacher! Helps you without a problem understand what you don't and he's so funny. He gives life lessons a lot and tells you about his own experiences. You only need the book for homework which you don't even need to do, but it helps a lot. Study guides are just like the tests. He doesn't ask for anything except no phones and try!
He gets off topic a lot, assigns a lot of homework but its not for a grade! DO NOT TAKE him if you are not very bright in Math!
Great professor! As long as you study, do the homework that's assigned (won't take it as a grade but it's SO HELPFUL) and really try to understand the concept you'll get an A. There's not many tests but there's a lot of material to cover so be sure you don't skip anything when reviewing for the exam!
Dr. Hassanpour is passionate about math. He'll explain concepts clearly. As long as you do the homework he assigns you and practice before the tests, you will get an A in the class. He gives 4 tests and drops the lowest score. The homework is not for a grade, but if you don't do it you will not pass the tests.
This professor was super fun! He would get distracted and talk about his amazing life stories. He is very energetic and loves to laugh. He has an accent which may be a bit difficult to understand but if you sit up front you won't have a problem. His tests are crazy hard but if you study then you will be alright. Expect weekly homework!
Amazing teacher, really knows how to keep the interesting.
great professor! would definitely take him again! gives practice homework, not for a grade, but it helps a lot to do it! he tends to talk a lot but will finish the lesson. I totally recommend him 100%!
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.
Best teacher I've ever had. He's so passionate about math and he doesn't make it boring.
Hassanpour is such a cool professor. Used the book for homework. He taught clearly. If you study, you'll get an A.
Awesome professor! Take him you won't regret it (: Put effort into it and you will pass with an A
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!!!
I took Hassanpour for summer one this being the second time having to take Algebra and he made everything so easy. we did go threw everything really fast since it was a summer class. homework was assigned everyday but it wasn't for a grade just practice. passed this class with an easy A ! highly recommend taking him.
This professor was amazing, in every math course I ever took I would be totally lost. Not in this case! His class was very understandable and super fast. He always had us out before the class was meant to be over. Very funny guy as well!
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!
Don't take him, he is a good teacher but if you do not like math it is not going to change.
This professor is straight forward with what he expects. He lectures well but when students ask questions, he might make you feel dump for asking. He does help you though. Textbook is a must. Gives 4 test and he drops lowest grade. 1 final. His test are nice and short but you must show your work for credit. Do not disrespect him!
Dr. Hassanpour gave me more confidence than I have ever had in Math. He cares so much about his students, and wants all of us to understand the material, so we can succeed with our degrees. He is passionate about his work, which is rare nowadays. He is the greatest professor I have ever had.
Mr. Hassanpour is the greatest math instructor I have ever had. I highly recommend taking his class. He is great at explaining. He is also easily accessible. 10/10 would recommend!!!
Great professor, very inspiring, compassionate. He cares about every student, he encourages you to ask questions. Easy and simple to understand lectures, he gives a lot of homework but it is not for a grade, it is only to practice. Tests are not very hard. Makes class funny and the time passes by quickly! 10/10 recommend him!
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. Would not take him again.
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.
He have agood explain in math
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.
Excellent professor. Lectures are great to attend. He makes content easy to understand. Coursework is not difficult if you apply yourself.
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. Once you understand how the problem is solved you'll be able to ace exams like nothing. I only got a B because I kinda slacked but that's besides the point. If you don't understand always ask.
He is very nice, and will make sure that if you try- you will pass. He is a wonderful teacher and focuses mostly on the concepts and basic skills rather than giving complicated 3 or 4 part problems. Take him if you can
He is a good professor! He gives out homework that you do not have to complete if you do not want to, however they are very helpful for the exams! He is passionate about his subject and it shows! You have to work hard & study hard for your grade! He will listen to you when you have questions. He does NOT use blackboard until the end of the semester
Every time you attend class it is a different lecture & continues from previous. HW is assigned & discussed next class but never graded. He is engaging, amazing and allows time throughout lecture for questions. Very passionate about math and explains very detailed. Take notes, practice at home and you will PASS guaranteed!
Hes very passionate about what he teaches. He goes through his lectures pretty fast and does talk fast, but gives plenty of examples and asks questions if students are confused. Homework isnt mandatory, but it does prepare for tests.
4 assignments, 2 exams, 1 written report, and a final. That's all for the class. Better pass all of them if you wanna pass the course. He expects all work to be submitted along with your tests to prove how you got the answer, if not he will deduct points.
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.
I need to say this professor is great if you work a full time job. He is very understanding. You can learn everything on your own pace gives homework for practice. There will be 4 assignments, 1 written essay he gives you plenty of time to finish each assignment.
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. His class consists of him just writing problems on the board and showing you by example not just talk. I wish i could've taken him for differential equations but couldn't.
Online math 0100: You have 5 assignments,1 midterm, 1 final, 1 five page paper on any mathematician. He grades harshly, one poor grade will drop you quickly. He doesn't give feedback on wrong answers, you figure it out on your own. His lessons are youtube videos. He is very hands-off. You have to show all work done or else it won't count.
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 took a summermester with this professor and although it was fast-paced, as a summermester is, I found it easy. 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!!
This professor's teaching style works well if you engage with it. Lectures are clear, and attending is crucial. Homework isn't required but helps prep for tests. unstuck AI was a game-changer for me - definitely check it out alongside the textbook.
i took professor hassanpour for pre-calculus during a minimester, and it went over super smoothly! i'd definitely recommend his class over the other pre-calculus teachers. i've taken this class twice (dropped it the first time because the other professor was terrible). he's very helpful! you just have to put in the work!
The best professor I've had so far in my journey toward my degree. He's very accessible outside of class and consistently reminds us about due dates.
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.
