he is very picky with homework, for example if you get 1 problem wrong he will give your homework an F and not give you any points for your work. On top of that he is very disrespectful with his student, and relies too much on he videos to teach the class, which do not help with the harder problems he gives you.

Took him twice on the same subject after I already dropped him once. Terrible mistake. Not charismatic and only wishes to get through his lecture and go home. Math is a very hard subject for me and his lectures made it even harder.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!!! It is impossible to get a good grade even if you are good at math, because he wnats things done a certai way and if it isnt done his way he will call you out or not give you any credit at all even if the answer is right. He is rude, and unhelpful. Wont except late work even if you have a good reason. Save yourself!!!

He is honestly a horrible professor. His way or no way at all , even if the answer is correct. He is ridiculous and would always mess up the problem. I can't stand him. I should've dropped when I had the chance but I realized towards the end. There is really no hope with passing in his class. My advice take any other professor. Any.

He's a terrible professor. I have difficulty with math and he expects us to remember how to do everything and uses that as an excuse to not review the material. If you do the homework and miss 1 problem on a section he will give you 1/5 as your grade for that assignment. He is rude and has poor communication skills with his students.

He is super rude. Gives no chances. It is a five hour lecture and he doesn't let us eat. 8am-1pm. DO NOT even think about signing up for this class. right before our. tests he does not review he starts a whole new section in the book and expects us to know everything. Super terrible teacher.

He was a terrible teacher. He teaches you 3 lessons in 1 day and gives you hw on all. For some that may be ok except for the fact that he never fully teaches each lesson he gives you the bare minimum and thinks youre good. Hes also very unorganized,hell miss place your work & ask you to do it over. He also accidentally deleted my classes grades

This teacher was all over the place. He would try to work problems in class then, mess them up and would end up not solving it. Say that he would get back to it but never would. He expects you to know everything that he forgets in class.

With Michael Nasab, there is such a thing as stupid questions. In fact any questions counts. When you ask questions for help, he tells you drop the class and change majors because you should not be an engineer or in any STEM fields so stop wasting your time in life its a wake up call I dropped and switched majors he ruined it and its his fault.

Forget about taking Nasab! Even if everyone elses HW is perfectly right on all problems (work/answer), just 1 student has 1 problem wrong on HW (work & or answer), he gives every students HW turned in that day an F (by giving every students HW a 0 and not giving any points for that homework for any students). Smh at Michael Nasab!!

He will leave you behind if you have questions, won't offer any type of extensions on small missing assignments nor retake or extension on exams. During lecture he will keep rambling on and will not stop for questions, don't take his class if you want to pass.

I took Professor Nasab's class in the fall term but I did hybrid. All of the homework, tests, and quizzes were all through the computer. Tests and quizzes were only able to be done in person. He gives extra credit by doing the study guides. He wasn't a bad professor. Enjoyed his class but I just dont like math.

I took Math50, Precalc with Nasab. He rarely explained things more than once. There was no time for us to work together on our questions. I did not learn anything from his lectures, if I learned anything it was from videos of another professor. Even then, nothing translated and I still did not pass even after studying so hard.

I took Math50 with Professor Nasab this spring. He's a very tough grader and minus your score a lot even if you make a little mistake. Lots and lots of homework and his explanation was not very clear but he do give 5 points extra credit when you do the study guide.

He goes through subjects very quickly and doesn't explain in detail how to do problems. He'll do one example problem, then move on to the next section. On exam days, we do a very short review. Continues doing a subject thats completly unrelated to what on the exam, then will give us the exam at the last half of the class. Do not recommmend.

The workload is unlike anything I've ever seen. Without exaggeration, expect to spend at least 20 hours per week over the course of this class. The amount of homework was truly absurd. Expect to answer thousands of questions. This was an entry-level course at a community college, but the workload was more than four classes combined.

Professor Nasab has a tough grading style, with lots of homework that can be tricky. Lectures aren't the clearest, but the 5 point extra credit on study guides helps. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for review prep.

I was told I didn't attend, even though I did and watched all the Zoom recordings. The lectures were slow and hard to follow live, so I took time to rewatch and learn. I paid for ALEKS and tuition, but still got dropped. It hurt my GPA. No support, zero communication, and the professor is rude. I regret taking this class. Wasted my time and money.

Absolutely horrible, unless want someone who gaslights you constantly and forgets half of his lectures do not take his courses. He constantly forgot when he pushed assignments back and gave students zeros for “late work” his handwriting is so bad you spend half the class trying to figure it out what he's writing and don't learn anything.

Do NOT take as a dual enrollment class! Professor does not answer his emails at all. If you're a senior and are taking this class in the spring, my advice is to not take it. It'll hurt you in the end because he doesn't post your transcript right away which could cause your ability to walk for graduation.

This is by far the worst professor I've had. His lectures are very fast paced as if we understand instantly as his pen touches his paper, and his handwriting is bad. He sometimes doesn't even follow his syllabus and only gives you an hour for a 18 question EXAM. He's can't even grade well, you have to correct him. ur better off with jon kim.
