A great professor with lots of real world experience

Mir Sadri is a saint!! A saint!! He is an inspiration to me and every single person I know. He has an open door policy and I consider him to be a friend.

Mir was a great guy. i don't understand a lot of these peoples problems with him. he could lecture very well, just hard to hear thoughout the whole class. threw you at what you had to do, but you learn best through doing anyways. never had a problem find him for help either.

I really don't understand the bad rating. This guy is a great teacher. He might be a bit absent minded and a little hard to understand, but he makes sure you know the material, he's lenient on grading, and he's extremely helpful if you have a problem. Ignore the bad rating, take eng with Mir!!!!!

Mir is the man!

Great teacher. Easy to understand, helpful, and he understands how to answer questions. However, beware if you haven't had statistics, he isn't too good at teaching that. He has a good teaching style with lots of interesting stories.

He was so funny! I loved him! He deserves a better grade than this!

Mir shows that he is interested in us doing well in our careers, so he does make us teach ourselves a little, because it will happen in the job market (and later classes). If you ask for help you will get it. He is a great career counselor.

Mir is kick ass. He is very knowledgeable about the professional world. His downside is he is a bit disorganized, but that's minor.

Mir deserves a much higher rating than this. He is by far the best prof that I have had so far. He is very knowledgable and always willing to lend a hand to those who are struggling. He forces you to learn the material though, which is an excellent thing, in my opinion. Excellent Professor!

very nice and caring. hard to know what homework is due though.

Really cool guy, went out of his to help his students.

really cool guy, tells you from his experience about engineering. Also gives u tips on aspects of engineering for the future.

Nice guy - makes class fun.

great guy, good teacher, likes to make you figure it out like it is in industry. sometimes not as clear as you would like, but his lectures are entertaining. he is "clear as mud"

good teacher, but his exams suck, he gives you a lot of problems to do in a very little amount of time.

nice guy, easy to talk to out of class, very helpful if you made an effort

His focus was more on real life aspects than just reading you the class power points. I actually learned how to use the software because he constantly made us play with it. He held my attention during class and I was prepared for the exams.

I thought he was one of the best teachers I've had. He related all of our material to real life applications and made class very interesting with all of his stories. The exams were a little hard, but I think you will do just fine if you go to class and do your work.

cool guy, funny. not too hard. alot of my friends said he wasnt that great of a teacher, but i did not think he was bad and they liked his class too. i would say he is the best for eng 1101 and doug oppliger is the best for 1102.

I would be willing to bet that Mir is one of the better Professors for 1102. He is an interesting speaker and very helpful outside of class. Half of class time was optional with the later half being dedicated to getting fluent in matlab or UGNX. Show him that you "think outside the box" as he says and you are guaranteed a passing grade.

Great teacher. Read your materials and do your work (not like there's a lot) and you'll pass for sure. His real life stories teach more than the others' powerpoints. Go to him after class hours and you'll be amazed at how much more you can learn from him one-on-one.

Had Mir for both ENG 1101 and 1102. He's a great professor. Keeps your attention, funny, and very helpful if you ask him for help or ask questions in class. Could do a better job of covering exam material and gives plenty of homework, but he's well worth it.

Mir Sadri is a great engineering teacher, he is clear to understand, was always around his office on weekends to give extra help. Gave the opportunity to build the a really fun project. He does give homework, but its college, get used to it.

By far the hardiest professor for ENG1101 but you will appreciate after the fact that Mir made you work as hard you did. He definitely has seen it all and knows his stuff. Work hard and he'll be more than willing to help you when you get in a bind.

Very approachable. He wants you to learn something and you can tell he's trying to make this a learning experience. He'll tell you what you will get out of this class and why you'll need to know this stuff later (i.e. the FE exam).

Always has stories to tell -- funny guy.

well he is an extremely helpful guy makes random jokes in class but the man also knows his stuff go to his office make him think you care and do the homework you ll be fine..he gives loads of hw though watch out for that

Really good prof, knows what he's talking about. He's there to help you, make the most of it.

He is great, fantastic, and I am serious about that. Not only does he know tons, but he teaches this to us and gives us a challenge. By far one of my best professors yet!

His stories will keep you entertained when the work is boring. Extremely helpful and has a lot of experience. If you get a chance take his course.

Excellent teacher. He may not be the best in the field he teaches, but he could inspire you and give you the right direction.

He was a great teacher. He was hard at times and expected a lot out of everyone, but really taught me a lot! He has very enjoyable lectures. If you have trouble with anything all you need to do is meet with him and he helps a lot. Just show him that you are trying, and it is easy to get an 'A'.

Awesome guy. Super helpful

love the Teacher but clarity and understanding a big issue. don;t be afraid to ask for help. i love's to help and is a awesome but freely guy.

has alot of life examples and is great outside of class. Alot of time is required outside of class to read texts and do projects. Definatley the hardest 1101 teacher but class is entertaining.

Mir is probably the best Engineering professor. The professors for engineering fundamentals at Michigan Tech are pretty awful, but Mir is among the best. He's very willing to help, and if you go see him, he will do his best to help you.

Considering the horror stories I have heard about other eng professors I actually really like Mir. Isn't always very clear about whats going on but is very willing to help you. He makes projects a little overly hard but is glad to help you figure it out. Tells stories to help keep you engaged and learning. If you put in the time, it's fairly easy.

Mir likes to tell stories. I called them "Mir's Life Lessons" and liked them; some people found them annoying and just wanted him to do more problems. Sometimes he got mixed up when trying to rush problems on the board, but he was always willing to help students in his office. He gives frequent quizzes, which are helpful motivators to do homework.

Mir is an extremely smart professor and has a lot of industry experience. He brings a lot to the table of education for beginning engineering students. Take his class section for 1102 or 1101 and you won't regret it. Also, his accent is not too strong and will break you into listening and learning with an accent.

He is nice, though he is a bit unorganized. He gives chance to resubmit memos and stuffs. And he uses curves in his class. I got an easy A in my summer semester with him.

Mir is an excellent instructor and has had a lo of experience in his field. He really knows what he is talking about and will help you when you need it.

Mir is by far the best professor I've ever had. He makes sure you learn the material and understand it. Mir gives in class quizzes almost every day once you get into the MatLab portion of the semester, but these quizzes prepare you so much for the exam. The exam MatLab questions are a breeze after all of the quizzes.

Mir is exactly what you need for a Engineering Fundamentals course. He has great real world experience and great advice to pass on. Quality lectures, as well as frequent quizzes help students with Mir to have the edge on peers with other professors. Definitely take if you have the opportunity to. If you put in the effort, you will get the grade

Mir is a great guy when it comes to being friendly, however as a teacher he lacks in announcing things that are important: quizzes, hw, etc.. He is very understanding, and you can always be honest with him. When I decided to change my major from ME to CNSA and he asked why he completely understood my decision process. He cares for success.

He's a cool guy and has lots of engineering experience and understands everything he teaches very well. Matlab takes a while to get a hang of but he is willing to help or repeat himself if he needs to. There are tons of assignments in the class but they're not unbearable which makes it not so bad. He seems to genuinely care and want you to do well.

Really cool teacher and cares about his students.

has great stories

Mir is a great teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable with MatLab and NX. He will go out of his way to help if you ask. He has great stories and tells them quite often. Fun professor and a great guy. He is very disorganized but I highly recommend him.

Mir is kind of unorganized and all over the place, but he has amazing stories to share in class.

Mir can be a bit scattered, but he deeply cares about the success of his students and has amazing stories from his experiences. If youre ever unclear of how to do something, dont be afraid to use his office hours or to ask him questions in class.

The only reason I go to class is because of Mir's stories. The most important thing to remember is shy people first.

Mir lacks organization skills, however he truly does care about each students success. He doesnt want any of us to fail and provides support if you need it. The course itself is difficult if you have no prior knowledge to MATLAB, but if you put in the hours it can be done. Overall Mir is a great guy. Can be confusing, but he means well.

Good teacher, talks a LOT about his time in industry, which can be helpful but sometimes he gets a bit too sidetracked. However, his stories are pretty good and he is a pretty good teacher. For ENG1102, it is mostly modeling in a software called NX, and if you used modeling software at all in high school, you should be fine as long as you show up.
