I took his class when he was in RCC. Compared to other professor, he made dry material interesting. Pay attention to what he say and read the book, it's esay for me to get an A.
makes sure to get across the point to every student takes his time and does things right.
great teacher. exams are pretty easy if you study. a must take.
he is funny, make you think you be cool and he drop you like that. he told me he be helping me but I need that class.
He is really nice, make the class more interesting. Make sure you do not take his niceness for granted. If you listen and read the book. YOu are gonna get an A for sure.
I took him online. I liked the setup. He makes you do something called aplia. You get to move graphs and stuff. I learned about business. There is no test but lots of these excercises. His syllabus is online http://faculty.riohondo.edu/mjavanmard/microeconomics.htm
took this guy again for 101. he is best and easiest of all the econ teachers hands down
This guy is super nice, but don't try to B.S. him. He gives honesty points on the exams. You write I did not study and you get honesty points. The hard part of this class is the reading. If you don't read you are dead! His jokes are prehistoric, but he thinks they are funny.
I had him last summer. He taught the class as they do at UC Riverside. He treats you as an adult, but some of the students did not deserve it. His lectures were funny but 4 hours in that room was hell. I got a C in the class but I did not care since it wont effect my U.C. GPA. I am thinking of taking him again for Micro.
He is probably one of the easiest econ teachers there, fairly easiy gives extra credit online quizes and gives honesty point on test if you write i didnt sudy or read on the eassy ?'s he'll give you points for that. took econ 101 and 102 with good teacher and funny guy class is fairly easy just read and do online quizzes,youll begood,grades,on,curv
The easiest teacher ever! Once you complete his online quizz, you will get the extra credits and high grade, all the test questions are from the online quizz. He taught me what is econ.
Easy&he makes you laugh w/ his sarcastic economic jokes that aren't always funny but the silence makes you laugh.All he gives 3 exams&he drops your lowest test score w/ the "replacement score". He adds up your attendance, 1min paper, reading quizzes&online quiz score. All the test questions come from the online quizzes. I got a B w/o really trying.
His hybrid class is great! It is similar to an online class except he is there to answer your questions in person. If you keep up with the homework you will get an A in the class.
Online class was really easy. Each week you have to do a 10 point applia assignment and a post a 10 point discussion. There are no tests or quizes, just work. Mr. Javanmard was very helpful.
I took his class online, and I really enjoyed it. Although some of the problems I got wrong in the end your able to get extra credit for 30 points thats a whole letter grade.You dont have to take any quizes and a final exam due to that in the real world there is no such thing only the process of doing your work...according to him which is GREAT!
Online class was hard. It was all reading and weekly problems in Aplia. There is no tests but the weekly assignments are hard. No make ups so if you miss a week you are out of luck.
Not as easy as people say, you still have to read the book if you don't good luck. Take someone else if you can.
Not an easy A, you have read and study enough to do well on the test. Don't really recommend if you slack off alot.
Easiest class I ever had... I got an A and didn't even show up the last half of the semester!! No homework and only 3 tests, multiple choice w/ a few short answer questions. Read the book!! No makeups so show up on test day.
Very good teacher. Easy to pass but you have to read and do WEB CT quizzes online to get a good grade. You learn a lot. AND he always let's you out of class early..
I didn't think he was that easy, if you slack off in reading this is not the class for you.
I had him for Hybrid and Online. He is tough if you do not read. I liked his hybrid class because he will lectures and help you with the assignments. The online class was tough because I had to get myself to read that boring book. His hybrid makes you read but he tries to motivate you and sometimes he gives away the answers.
just took his class last sem, no hw, test is 80% from web quiz, but the web quiz extremely tricky. the test also include writing question, not just multiple choice.
Just took his online class. It was awsome!! He's so reasonable. All I did for this semester was to read each chapter briefly, and do online questions every week, also an interview report for local business. That's all. His questions are bit of hard, but he has mock questions for you to try before the real ones. Overall: Easy A with efforts.
I am retaking the class what does that tell you!
He's a cool and very reasonable teacher. Take his online class. It consists of discussion questions, practice tests (ungraded) to help you with the actual graded tests. Also, an investigative assignment. He grades on a point scale system. Other than that, it was an easy A with efforts.
Well I guess there are people who like this weirdo. What can I say everybody has their own preference in economics and teaching in general. I didn't think he was that good, take another professor like Elbaz or Ebiali.
Take online Class!!! Read the book and you do fine. Also Professor gives plenty of extra material so you can understand material. discussions are interesting. do the work and you'll have no problems. Don't get lazy and fall behind. All tests are open book and untimed. so if you not getting a good grade its your own faut.

I repeat take somebody else!
I took Him for 101 & 102 gotta love em! Do all of your Aplia homework and your grade will come easy! Although he will not bump your grade up even if your only 4 points away from the next grade up. Or else I would have gotten an A
ECON 101 & 102... take 101 before 102 and you will Ace 102! Great class learned a lot, if your a business major take this professors online course. Don't fall behind some weeks are more challenging then others.
This class was in-person, not online. He succeeds in making the topic more interesting but you HAVE to pay attention to lectures. Ask questions whenever: He's always open to them. Don't even need the book if you listen well, but do his ex.cred quizzes, since the exam questions are taken from those. Work to Ace those quizzes, pay attention, thats it
Online class was very organized and easy. Javanmard gives you so much information and responds to emails almost immediately. Will answer any question you have, very approachable. Must read the book if online class but readings are very interesting.10pt Quiz on every chapter (12) and a 100 pt cumulative final. Thats it. super easy, highly recommend.
Easy class... Not to hard
Took online Micro with him. He saved me money by using something called connect. It had the book in there and did not have to buy a textbook.
Took Maco Econ online with him. Great professor, very helpful and responds to email questions very quickly. Text is required & quizzes are based off the reading. 2 chapters & 2 quizzes per week & a few discussions; not hard. He uploads powerpoints to help you understand the info. One cumulative multiple choice final with no time limit. Easy class.
I took Econ 106 with him. Very easy class. All he wants is a discussion of a very fun book. Econ is not boring with this guy.
Took his online class and thought it was great! I thought econ was going to be a challenge but this guy made the class easy, very organized & straight forward. Quiz and discussion weekly, some based on online games. easy final. piece of cake class if your willing to put in the time since it does involve reading the text.
He doesn't care whether or not you attend class as long as you are there for tests. I studied only from the book without attending any lectures and got an A. The book was fairly expensive.
Attended his online class and it was fairly easy, just remember to do the homework and quizzes on time. There is only 1 homework and 1 quiz per chapter and he offers a fair amount of extra credit as well. There is no final for his online class.
This professor relates lots of his lectures to the book and has the students interact with small projects to put the material into act. Class is completely stress free, just try to participate in discussions and debate with others about the book. Very fun class!
Great teacher. I love the way he teaches class. he makes the econ fun. Funny dude i would recommend him
Great professor. he is funny and makes teaching fun. he explains stuff clearly and made u remember by great example. definitely gonna take his 101 and maybe more classes from him
He is great. Tells stories related to the readings. His only problem is that he smiles before failing you. I think he enjoys it. He did that to my friend but she deserved it. She did not study at all.
He's a great guy, always telling fun jokes to make the class less boring. But you'll fail that class if you only listen to his lecture. So make sure you do the insurance quizzes, those quizzes and real exam has a lot in common. highly recommend his 8 weeks session.
102 online is EASY. NO FINAL and fair amount of works. HWs are easy and quiz can be taken 3 times too. YOU SHOULD AT LEAST GET A B WITH THE EXTRA CREDIT SINCE IT IS TOO EASY...
Had him for 101 on campus, he was terrible. No passion for teaching & often said econ was BS. As long as you study the quizzes he refers to, however, it's an easy class to pass. I couldn't put up with his dispassion so I took online for 102. Even easier. I would recommend online courses for econ at Rio, you learn more teaching yourself & studying.
He told me to write that he cant do math. seriously he told me
He's a pretty good teacher, tries to make class interesting by telling jokes or bringing outside sources related to the subject. He is also a fair grader if you don't study you'll fail but if you read the book and attend class regularly the class shouldn't be to hard!
He tries to make class fun by telling jokes that most don't get. He tries to relate the class with other materials so you get the concept. He has no love for teaching, he gives free points to people that don't deserve it just to help them pass. Do the Insurance, study on your own, do not depend on his slides & you'll do fine.
Great instructor, class was very easy. You do have to study on your own but like all studying, it is common sense too. Great instructor and highly recommend.
This class was extremely and ridiculously easy. All you had to do was a few hw problems each week followed by a quiz and that was it (no finals). He was really lenient on the grading policy as well (thanks lazy students!). But other than that, you're on your own. Do all of the work and you're basically guaranteed an A. Totally recommend this class.
There no reason why you shouldnt pass this class, very very easy,by the time i got to the finals i already had a secured A in the class. best and easiest econ teacher on campus
He is funny but hard
What a wiener. The quizzes don't reflect what's in the text. You get three chances at the quiz, but you lose five percent every time, and mostly you have no clue what you did wrong. 31 points of extra credit but if you don't have experience with Connect, you'll never find it and he won't tell you where it is.
He is a hilarious teacher. He is always happy and makes class lectures go by quickly. I highly recommend him. He gives extra credit he calls insurance. It's very helpful.
He will tell you that you don't need to come to class but don't listen! I didn't go and got an 86% on my first test, but after that it became super difficult. He will tell you exactly what is on the test and help you prepare but you have to go to class. Not something you want to try to do on your own.
Super easy. Review notes and read book. Do the insurance.
Mike Javanmard, Incredibly straight-forward from the beginning. You have 3 tests for this class including the final, as well as Connect Homework which serves as "insurance" in case you bomb any of the 3. He's not exactly the most passionate professors in the world, so my advice is: Read the book, do the insurance, and you're on your way.
Know this! He doesn't care about you nor your grade. All he cares is about himself and his cigarettes lol, but overall he was pretty cool because he is very straightforward and we need more of those people in this world. Cool guy but not my type of professor.
Took him online. You can take quizzes 3 times each with a 5% deduction each time after the first try. So try your best to get an A the first time. To get through this class you MUST read the book. It's not a lot of work, but the boring subject will make it hard. You get what you work for. There are no midterms or finals. Just quizzes and hw.
I took the 8 week online course for this class and it was pretty simple. The online sections really just depend on the student. The 8 week course was heavy content and comprised of just quizzes and flashcard content for the McGraw hill website. No Final, No Midterm.
Took the 8 week online course. You don't need to read the book. You can just Google all the answers. The class consists of homework assignments and one final which is just 50 questions taken from the hw assignments. Google and screenshot is your best friend here.
Does not exude a whole lot of care for students but teaches clearly and never strays from his syllabus. He doesn't assign homework; your grade consists of 3 tests and a paper if you're taking honors. All the tests were extremely easy for me so this class was a breeze.
He says that 'Students Learn' and ' your grade depends on how much time you spend with the Textbook!' I failed my first exam and I read and did well on second exam. Just read the book. He is a little different from other professors. He is not a snooty like some other professors.
Very clear grading scale presented in the beginning of class. Tries to be funny in class but demonstrates an unenthusiastic way of teaching. Used to be an easy A class as long as you study for tests but changed the course curriculum after students stop showing up to his class. Homework and attendance were not mandatory but both are now mandatory.
Just talk to him and laugh at his jokes. Even though he appears depressing at times, inside he really cares and wants everyone to pass. Even though he says he bullshi/ts everything he says, he can tell you things straight up. Just talk to him.
Great professor that wants his students to do well. Structure of the course is really easy to follow. Do the weekly quizzes and discussions and you should be fine. The book is useful for quizzes and it was free so yay. Definitely would recommend.
Took this class online (10 Week Course) and it is way too easy. All you have to do is "read the lectures"(Not really), take the practice quiz, then take the actual quiz and done. Its that easy. You can jump ahead if you want. Everything is posted. Yes, you'll have discussions but its very easy. No Midterm or any other test, except Final. Easy A.
The class is pretty straightforward. Read chapters for the week, participate in the discussion posts, and complete the chapter quizzes. However, I really struggled with the quizzes because a lot of the questions were critical thinking questions. It wasn't question - straight answer. It was more like which answer fit best based on your knowledge.
Great class, easy to pass! I would recommend to work together with other classmates, it make the class even more easier!
He never answered an email I sent him which is rude and I have never had happened to me befor since all the Rio Hondo teachers I have had are very considerate and answer as soon as they can.
He's cool and easy/ Just do hw and study then you will be easy to get an A
This professors online Econ 102 class is an easy A! I took the 10 week class and even finished the class two weeks before finals. I definitely recommend it if you just need to fill a requirement. Weekly quizzes, discussion posts and no midterm/final. Everything is posted from the beginning and you don't need a textbook or access code.
Funny
Hes funny and easy graders since hell let students pass if they try a little bit. Hes a respecting teacher and i like him a lot
Easy teacher to get an A, just try to study a bit youll pass with good grade
I took this as a online class. It is simple. You just have to watch his videos, look at his google slides documents, and read the textbook. Then you will have to take weekly quiz's with no time limits and a final that is not timed as well. The quiz are 10 questions and the final is 25 questions. They all have two attempts, high score is kept.
Javanmard is probably the most nonchalant prof I've had. He always cracked me up for some reason. His course structure is clear: follow it on Canvas, do the discussions, do the quizzes, and you will get an A guaranteed. I rarely showed up for this class (MIDTERM/final was mandatory attendance) and still got an A. Textbook is free, he uses openstax.
Easiest online course. Discussion questions write it and get full credit. Easy quizzes and exams. Answers on Quizlet.
Took the class online and was one of the easiest classes to take. You only have to do the discussions, and the quizzes. You also get multiple tries and no time limit for quizzes. The textbook was online and only really used it a little bit, mainly for the discussion board. Easy class to pass.
Took Econ 101 online and I am taking 102 next semester. This class went really smooth. He made the assignments available early for the semester so I was able to finish early.
Professor Javanmard assigned quizzes every day and a discussion post every week. Quizzes were non-timed and you had 2 trys on each quiz and exam. There is a textbook that he provides for you. Easy A, recommend to anyone.
I took his online class and the quizzes were easy and not timed. You do get multiple attempts but sometimes you receive different questions. You will need to participate in discussions but I'm pretty everyone who responds gets full credit. The final is just a combination of the quizzes.
Easiest class ever! Just need to read the textbook, and answer some weekly discussion prompts/quizzes. Questions are all multiple choice, and untimed. The final itself is 35% of your grade however. Because this is online learning, do not expect too much interaction from your professor. Great for individuals with busy schedules and need flexibility.
I took Econ 101 (online) with Professor Javanmard a few semesters ago in 2021. A textbook was not required as he provided online links to reading resources and provided slides to help further your studies. Be sure to read the text and slides + some effort a class to pass with an A or B grade.
Great professor. Reminds you about your assignments. Took both eco online, was easy if you read and understand the lecture.
I took both ECO 101 & 102 with professor online. He reminds you of your assignments. His course consists of Discussions and Quizzes/video quizzes. He provides the materials. Great professor!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING HIS COURSES!!!
I took professor Javanmard class online and it's not that bad since most of his questions are easy and from the book he gives you for each module. All the homework and finals are all multiple choices; with two chances. Overall, easy online class if you need to finish your GE!
Professor Javanmard is awesome! His course is very simple and straightforward. Make sure to watch the videos provided for you in each section and make sure to read. He also responds back to emails within minutes or a few hours. Overall I had an excellent experience. You will learn many different topics in a simple way. Very easy to understand.
GOAT teacher.
Literally gave homework 6 days out of the week. Never helped would be mad when you did not understand something. Replies to emails days later.
Be ready to read, complete assignments and quizzes if you're taking an eight week course, The work can be overwhelming, but durable. I have a new perspective in economics and I am an accounting major.
I enjoyed ECON 101 so much that I am taking ECON 102 with Professor Javanmard. Plan on reading and taking quizzes and participating in discussions. I enjoyed being able to work at my own pace and it felt good to be ahead of the calendar.
I took ECON 100 and ECON 101 with Professor Javanmard. I highly recommend taking his class. You can work at your own speed and finish early.
Professor Javanmard was a great teacher of Economics. He gave access to most of the course work in the very beginning of the class, therefore, if you had other classes to worry about you can focus on them. He gave two attempts on quizzes, and he re-uses questions from past quizzes on the final. He's great, and I would take him again!
Professor Javanmard was an amazing professor. He had all the work readily available since the beginning of the semester. The work was easy and manageable. You can do your work on your own time and at your own pace. The final was easy as it consisted of questions from the assignments.
Took ASYNC in winter so it was a very short course (4 weeks). Reading for each chapter and taking quizzes. Over all an easy class and do all the work and you will pass.
Very simple class
Summer class! 13 chapter tests (can retake 2-3 times w/ answers hidden & answers in book), 8 discussions, 1 final (45 questions w/ 2 chances); reuses chapter test questions in final; free textbook; easy workload & manageable; not hard if you do the work. Chapter tests have random questions that are different per retake, so might not show on final
Easy 8-week course w/ man
Easy 8-week course w/ manageable workload at own pace. Contains chapter tests (2-3 retakes w/ randomized questions that can appear in final) & discussion posts. Final reuses 90% of chapter test questions (45 MC questions). Free textbook. It's manageable to do + most of the answers of the tests can be found online if didn't/forget to read book
He is horrible at sending emails, it took me several attempts to join his class and he never let me join. L Mike
