if you want to learn math take this pro. he is really good..for your info, he is not Indian.

he is the best teacher ever. very easy. make sure you do your homework and understand the problems and you get A. the test questions come from the homework and the problems that he solves on the board. he explains materials they way you understand. i recommend him highly.

Lectures quickly w/ a heavy accent. But obvious that he wants to help students learn, not just cram stuff. Doesn't nag at students.

he is the best teacher ever.

his accent is sexy and he actually speaks really well also some sense of humor.. just a lil hard on the test but still good ^_^

his test was really easy and he tries to help everyone. he cares about people who are lost during the lecture. he's funny too!! :-)

Great teacher!!!

He's a nice guy, witty, appreciates hard work, cute accent, but easy to understand, wants students to succeed.. GOOD TEACHER!

took the time to explain every little detail in a problem, especially word problems. shows different kinds of methods so you can decide for yourself what works for you. funny at times and a seems to be an intelligent individual(took class in the summer so didn't get to know him well). if you need a lot of help with math then take his class. gluck!

he's a great teacher, teaching wise. And he understands that people have other things to do in life besides being in his class and doing math hw.plus he looks good :)

Very helpfull teacher, funny, cares about his students. I've learned a lot from his class.

he's a great teacher. I love him

He is the first funny math teacher I have actually met. He goes through examples fast but if you dont understand something you just have to voice it and he will try and make you understand. He cares about his students and is VERY fair as long as you show up to EVERY class and dont skip. He will grade harder if you arent showing up to classes.

He is a great teacher and I love his jokes. We had 5 tests, he dropped the lowest score. The final was so easy, we just had to study our tests because the problems were coming from them. We had no quizes, but he assigned homework which we had to show him at the day of the final. Great sense of humor (NOT rude and NOT arrogant at all!!!)

Good teacher, wants you to know the subject. Goes very quickly so you better keep up or your done. Make sure he knows you are trying and working hard.

He has a great sarcastic sense of humor that I found to be hilarious (others here obviously don't understand it). He does move fast, so you have to keep up but he is a very fair grader and he cut a lot of students some serious slack. If you miss too many classes and don't do the homework, as he would say, "may God have mercy on your soul."

#1 math pro

took his math11 class in summer. He is great! I am not good at math or anything, but if you do your work (really DO all of your homework) then you be ok on the test - and the exams are from the prior tests as well. No surprises. What's you to do well! He is great!

good teacherr

Great teacher! I'd take him for other math if he was teaching. He does take attendance and it counts as part of your grade but that's easy pts. He does alot of examples that help you on the hw and tests. Very fair grading scale. As long as you do the hw youll do great on tests; partial credit and extra credit opportunities. Great teacher!!

Great! Clear and explains in a way I could understand.

He is a GREAT teacher!! really really funny!. His tests are out of 110, so he gives out 10 points more. Very easy and clear. His tests are mostly based (some of them equal) to the homework. So if you do all the homework, you'll get an easy A+.

Very nice polite ready to serve you. Knows the material too well does go faster than most teachers you do have to ask a lot of ques if you want to learn and do hw. Overall success in this class requires lots of practice, he can be tough if your not good with math so study and do hw to pass

awsum professor...his tests are out of 110 and A grade is 88 and above so..rrespective to how much v score v will get a bonus of 10 marks

he is a good prof and he really wants you to learn math. 85% of the exams are from your note and the rest from the homework. he goes fast, so if you are not good at math don't take him in summer and you should be fine. easy A if you follow him

Wonderful Teacher!

he's a good teacher but he's kind of mean...teaches materials really fast...kind of hard to follow

Great teacher!

I suck at math, but I got an A in his class. It wasn't easy, but he made things crystal clear, so that if you did the homework (which you must turn in at the end of the course anyway) then you'll be fine. He encourages questions. He seems tough, but, like any teacher, he will care enough to help you if you care enough about the class to ask for it.

Absolutely great! The key to receiving a good grade in this class is to study. Also, all he really cares about is the final. I got two Fs in this class, but I still passed with an A. When you study for the final, don't just study the previous tests, study the whole book (chapters 6-12).

Great pro. He is unbelievable.

2 words: GREAT TEACHER..probably one of the best math teachers i have ever seen. he's reasonable, 10 points extra credit for each test so if you miss 10 pts you get 100% still! do the homework and pay attention to his shortcuts during his lectures. i suck at math but i was recieved an A. i give an A++ for the teacher rating though.

he is hot

He talks and goes through problems on the board too fast. Make sure you take good notes! He seems mean in the beginning of the class to scare away the slackers, but if you do well on his tests he excuses your Final and homework. Extra credit points is given on each test. Great teacher! I hate math but I loved his class.

as long as you do the hw and take notes, the tests are a breeze

Do not be intimidated, ASK QUESTIONS. Responsive to emails. Extra 10% on every exam, if you ace every exam you will be excused from the final with an A. I do not recommend taking him (or any math) for a 2X/week summer course, bc you will be lost in the 2nd half of class & will spend the next day playing catch up.

He is a nice teacher. He goes kind of fast but wants you to understand. I have trouble in math and recieved and A+. His class is not hard but you do have to do your work and study.

Although he comes off as a no bs kinda guy, he is extremely generous with his grading. Class was easy, but it is difficult to follow him conceptually if you do not have a basic background in math.

Extremely helpful professor. He, rightfully so, wants you learn and not just worry about 'passing'. 10% extra credit for every exam, final exam has mostly the problems you missed in the previous tests, guys it cant get any easier than this. Just open the book and study/ read. An easy A for a little effort. Highly recommend.

Math is my worst subject but with Mr. A's help, I got an A in this class. His accent can be a little thick at times but he is an awesome teacher. He is very helpful. Take notes and study and you'll be fine. His tests aren't hard if you understand the material. I definitely recommend him!

Mr. Araeipour seems to know his stuff, and seems to grade rather generously, but I do not learn anything from him. Instd, he says chapters, and I read those. He just speeds through lectures, so I don't learn anything in class. Also, even if you ask, he can't really slow down at all. It's better to just stuythe book.

The best Math professor I have ever come across in every aspect. He really understands his students and takes the time to help them succeed and excel. Be sure to talk to him after class and develop a personal relationship with him - it will pay off. Trust me. Grades matter, but also grades based on effort. Thank you Professor! God speed.

I took the 8 week Math 3B. It was a pretty quick pace, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a strong math background. Tests were much easier than the homework, if you can do (and understand) the homework every day after lecture you'll get an A without a hitch. He expects you to fully understand and expand on ALL previous math concepts.

I had taken Calc 1 before and was just taking his accelerated summer class for college credit and i got an easy A. His exams are basic material and way easier then his online homework. If it's your first time taking calc and you're not strong in math though a suggest not taking him over the summer, or maybe not at all. If you're retaking he's fine.

negative reviews are probably some salty lazy students. This was honestly one of the easiest math classes i've taken. He gave everyone 10 extra credit points on each test for just signing your name. All i did to study was rework the problems he went over in class until i could do them without messing up. this got me a 101 percent in his class.

Prof Ara is great it's just a hard class. Every test is based off EXACT problems from the lectures so make sure to redo lecture notes 3-4 times.

I took his class at LACC. I nearly failed . I think with any other professor that I would have. The class was mostly online so our interaction was limited but when I reached out, he always responded, he wanted me to pass. He offers several opportunities to correct scores & study materials. But please, if you're weak at math, don't take online

His lectures aren't that great and the majority of the time, you have to teach yourself. However, homework is 20 percent of the grade and he always gives extra credit on each of the exams which makes the class much more passable compared to others (Took this at IVC instead of Saddleback). Not an easy course but calculus isn't supposed to be easy.

One of the more easier and mellow professors I've had. Sets a clear guideline and expectations in the course. I bombarded him on how to best study and it's best to rework examples and chapter reviews. Everything you see in the chapter review is on the exam with just different numbers.
