awesome teacher; knows his stuff. really nice also
Bazargan is the best math professor I've ever taken. I usually have a hard time understanding math but he made it clear. He gave points on tests if you turn in required homework. His tests were taken directly from the homework so they were not hard if you practiced.
No Comments
He is an amazing teacher I sucked at math and was not interested in it at all until i took his class he really makes it easy and fun!
I dont know what the hell these people R takin about! He is HORRIBLE! Even people who were takin Accounting and making A's didnt were failing his Class! He complicates methods of solving problems and is very slow and boring! If u want to understand anything in math DONT!!!! pick this teacher!!!!!!!!
horrible instructor. very hard to understand had to drop the class.
His tests are multiple choice, so they are not very hard to pass. I understood him a lot better then my previous calc2 professor, since he went step by step when solving problems.
First off, calculus 2 is not suppose to be easy. He was alot better than the other Cal II teacher I had. Got a 'D' with the first one. He explained the problems pretty good, test were multiple choice. A 'B' is attainable but I blew off the final and got a 'C'.
Very hard to understand but is willing to help you if u ask. his tests are directly out of the book problems we do in class and he avg's the final with the same weight as any test and he drops the lowest grade so it's pretty hard to fail his class unless u are really bad at math in that case i'd pick another teacher!
According to my opinion, he's very lovely and nice. His accent makes me laugh everytime i think about it. He's always willing to help ! He'll drop the lowest, final weighs the same w/ other tests. Usually drop 1 problem outof each test and sometimes give out take home test ^^ --> B will becomes A ! As a result got an A in his Calc 3 class.
Awesome math teacher with clear and precise instructions. Its too bad he doesn't lecture in a regular classroom anymore, because he's teaching Distance Education. Otherwise, I would definitely take his class again in more advanced mathematics.
Hi all, Mr. Bazargan is the best professor i have ever had for Math. I am really bad in Math but he goes very slow and teaches you step by step. He gives you lot of extra credit so it is kinda hard not to make a good grade in his class unless you really want to fail it. Test are exactly like the reviews. You will like your grade, i guaranty it.
If you need an instructor to carry you thru each step in math, pick Barzagan. He was a BIG HELP for me. Am so so poor in math but i did it because of him
I have a lot of encouragement since I have him teach me math. I could tell he is very helpful and nice. This is my best best teacher over all others...
He is very nice and is willing to help you pass the class..One word is EXCELLENT!
I took him for Calculus 2, 3 and Differential Equation. He's a extremely nice and easy professor. His test is exactly like the homewok he gave you. If you do all the homework he gave you, you definitely pass with an A. However, his lecture is kind of sleepy b/c he talks a lot. I got A+ for all my classes and a perfect recommendation letter from him
His lesture are so boring, he will make to fall asleep in class. He does not work out to much problem in the class. However, he is always willing to help his students if you are looking for a good professor in hcc take fife. She is nice and the test review is the test rather than studying all hw probles in class.
To the person who posts comment before me: I took him for 3 math courses (Calculus). HE GIVES NO TEST REVIEW, BUT THE HOMEWORK IS GAVE YOU IS EXACTLY THE TEST. He's willing to help you every little problem. Extremely nice professor! If you study seriously, you will get an A for sure!
Not helpful, don?t get behind in course compass homework are you?ll be in trouble. Exams, and reviews are different from course compass.
I attempted him online. Not helpful, don?t get behind in course compass homework are you?ll be in trouble. Exams, and reviews are different from course compass.
I had him for an online course and it was terrible. Math is not my strong point so it was difficult for me and he didn't make is any easier. Never answered my questions and when I finally was able to get him to call me back by contacting the department chair he was very RUDE! Would not take him again.
He is very nice, but what I don't like about him is that he does not allow graphing calculators on the tests.
best teach everrrrrrrr! =)
Does anyone know, If you take this class online do you have to attend class for tests or the final?
I took his class online. Its alright, but he takes a while to respond to emails. The final exam is the only one that you have to take in person. I recommend this class if you are good at math
Took his class online in Spring '09. Everything is based on Math Lab, its very easy to learn if you keep practicing. I hate Math but I got a B learning on my own. Finals is taken in-person, he gives a formula sheet. Quizzes are based on what you learn on Math Lab. Grades based on your performance.
Took his online 5-week class and missed the 1st exam. Did a 100% on MathLab homework, did okay on exams. I think he curves the grade because I did really bad on the comprehensive final exam but still passed the class. I would recommend him to anyone that hates math. Very helpful & friendly professor.
He is the best!! I scored poorly on my 3rd test and my final exam and still manage to pass with a C. If this is not your strong subject take him you?ll pass. Math lab is needed. You?ll have to complete homework and 6 quizzes (all due that last day of class). 3 test on blackboard, and the final exam is online @ testing site. I really recommend him!!
Alright class. 3 tests and and final that counts twice. He would not let you know what you got wrong unless you come to campus...I live 3 hrs away so I never knew what to work on. I did fair on tests, bombed the final, but did most the math lab and left with a C. I would recomend not taking this class unless you are good in math already.
This class is accommodating if you?re a person that has time constraints. Three tests, mathlab(homework/Quizzes), and final. All homework and Quizzes are due at the end of semesters check in Blackboard for test reviews and actual tests. The tests are timed (2hrs) all are online except for the final. Complete all assignments and reviews are very he
Do your homework and you'll be fine! Three tests that are online and the final is online/ oncampus and a formula sheet is given. The book is available on MyMathLab but I bought it on ebay for like $25. It's a pretty straightforward class.
the best math teacher. You got know ur stuff.
I think that this is the best math teacher ever,I have a block when it comes to math I have not been in school for about twenty-five years and he made it very easy for me.
I highly recommend to take his class.Great teacher!
I need Math 2413 (cal I)in January 2010. I am trying to register now. Where is he teaching RIGHT NOW, so I can get crn# and location of one of his classes? Thanx all!
ENJOYED LEARNING MATH IN HIS CLASS, HE'S VERY HEPFUL MAKE SURE THAT THIS STUDENT ARE LEAVING WITH SOME TO MOVE FORWAR TO THE NEXT POINT IN THEIR LIVES, AWESOME TEACHER REALLY CARE FOR HIS STUDENT. SUCCESS.
Mr.Bazargan was a wonderful professor,I took him for math 0306 and earned an B and now taking him and almost to an A and in the Spring taking him for next course and I hatte Math and very poor in it. He makes you understand what you are doing. I dont know what the other people saying he sucks or he doesnt teach or has an attitude you have to be in
Calculus 2 is one of the hardest subject but he made it so easy and simple. He is extremely helpful and friendly professor. His tests are easy and short. Just concentrate the problems he does in class and you will do good in the exams. Homework are not mandatory. i made "B" in his class. He gives alot of extra credit. highly recommended.
He is a great teacher willing to help you if you ask.Theres only 3 test,final,math lab.30 questions each test.Great Teacher highly recommend him if you dont understand just ask make sure you do your math lab and your guaranteed to pass.
Never answers his email and very poor in communication.
He was an nice professor. You must study and do all of the course compass hw to pass and never take on Sundays to long.
Very good Instructor! Very helpful, and breaks the material down to your understanding,I passed the class with a B!
Great teacher so far. Does anyone know if his final for 0312 is online or on campus?
One of the nicest professors ever, Seriously! He's a wonderful teacher and really does care. Totally recommended!!
Very good at explaining, give great examples. Homework questions are the exam, go to class and do homework and you will do well
Took the internet 1314, homework is on webassign, tests and review are on blackboard. Reviews counted 10 points towards test; you can take review multiple time but no way in telling which one you got wrong. late replying on email. Finals is in person, what's the point in having an all online class if you have to show up for finals in person?
hes OK nothing special. Quiz's are done online ($80 code) and there are 43 homework assignments plus 3 tests and 1 final.
I took this course online and the way he does things is a bit confusing. He doesn't give the final review till the night before the final. In person he is very helpful and he's a great teacher. You have four tests and a final. Also you have homework which he stresses that if you do well on that you can pass.
Very nice man.The book is a must because he teaches directly out of it.4 exams 1 will be dropped plus a final exam.Homework is also a must, but this class is not hard so do not make it.He is very helpful so I will be taking his statistics class this summer.
Great Professor! Nice and helpful. I took calc 3 with him and he teaches very clearly. He gives good examples and tells you which ones are going to be on the test. He assigns hw problems that will help for the exam. TAKE HIM b/c his class will fill up fast!!
Mr.Bazargan is a wonderful teacher!!! I loved taking his class. You are required to do all Math lab assignments. Put in the effort and Mr. Bazargan will help... TAKE HIM!! HE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER!!!!
Teacher was cool. I had him for Cal 2. Teaches directly out of the book, and the test problems are from the book. You should have no problem passing if you study. The only thing I hated was that the final was multiple choices and something he pulled from his rear end, which is why I got a B.
When you're in class he teaches clearly but he does not give any HW or reviews and when you ask him for help he just says study the notes and do practice problems in the book. I did that and when test time came it did not help at all. I've been studying my but off and it still doesn't help his test are nothing like what he even teaches.
I feel a strong ambivalence for Mr. Bazargan. i can't say if he's a good or bad teacher. He's good in that he makes his test fairly simple and gives extra credit but i wouldn't say hes good at teaching. But maybe that's just nature of the course material. I'd suggest finding another teacher but if you can't, you will be alright with mr. bazargan.
Dr. Bazargan is a wonderful teacher! I had no interest in math unitl I took his class. I learned so much! It was hard for me to keep up at first because I did not have a good foundation in math. Br. Bazargan helped me out a lot! He stopped and explained things and took his time in showing examples. I highly recommend him!
Not the best CALC professor. Choose someone else if you can. Didn't like his class. This guy goes fast like you are supposed the know everything. So stay away and take someone else. There are other decent professors at HCC!
Amazing professor. Calculus is a difficult subject but his lectures make it easier and also his tests are similar from his notes questions. He also gives you bonus marks (adds 5% to your lowest test mark, replaces a test grade with web assign grade). I would recommend him to other people.
Bad bad bad! Do not take him!
horrible please avoid i took him for a minimester he has NO time to help you after class. He doesnt give homework or NO test reviews, his exams are DIFFERENT from what we do in class. Now I must takr this class again.
nice but doesnt follow up with class no reviews and speaks low uses old notes
He is a very easy professor and gives you a lot of extra credit opportunities. I made an A in his class. Calculus is not an easy subject, but his tests are directly from his notes. I only wish you would have gone in more depth. But, overall if you pay attention you will make a good grade.
If you don't need help in math he is prefect. The homework is easy, the quizzes are harder, & test are surprisingly easy. The final is online on site which is inconvenient for those like myself who don't live in Houston & have to make other arrangements. He emails back within a day but isn't much help! Overall he isn't a prof that I'd take again.
great professor really helpful, test question is not too hard, as long as you take time and study you will easily pass. I totally will take his class again for higher level math class.
I missed a lot of classes due to personal reason but it didn't affect my grade at all. After teaching every section, he gives examples and shows us how to do them step by step. The tests are ok. Not hard but not too easy. It's all in the examples and homeworks. As long as you do the example and hw, you'll be fine. 4 tests including final. No quiz.
Very fair grading I recommended
really nice professor, and really helpful. I totally will take his class again.
Class is tbh boring. The tests are tougher than the note but if you check the reviews in the book it's pretty similar because he teaches by the book. The webassign is annoying, I hate it, but f you do well on it it could help boost your grade up. He does give extra credit and drops 1 test. If you're good at math it's easy if not, tutorials help.
Wonderful, he responded quickly & clearly & was helpful every single time..
Great professor, If you would like to improve on Math please please don't miss this professor's class.
Professor Bazargan is by far the best math professor I have ever taken. He starts at the basics and makes sure that everyone has those down before moving on. There are no surprises in his class because all of the examples and the test questions come from the book. His tests are 10 questions long that's it. WARNING: Final is multiple choice.
I 'venever met Mr Bazargan in person but I took calc 2 online with him. He is very clear with what he wants, and you have plenty of time to do your home works on web assign but it takes time, the quizzes are annoying, it is a little hard but there are tutorial videos which will help . Tests are easy! Final is not bad at all. Have to self dependent
Awesome teacher, one of the best math teachers I've had! He makes everything so easy and clear, it's a very easy class to pass. Really recommend!
Professor Bazargan has to be my favorite professor this semester. He helps you throughout the whole term, and he is very detailed in his lectures. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is trying to really learn the material and get an overall A.
Took him for DE. The class runs on auto pilot. Literally no communication unless you initiate. Its angering to read in a syllabus "Im committed to my students success" when the response in an email is "Look over your grades to see what you'll need to pass".
Best professor ever, he is a great mathematician, and his class is fun. you really learn and enjoy his class.
best Math Professor at HCC. Besides him being a professor, he has a very nice heart and is such a sweet person and truly cares for his students. All tests questions are literally from the book but different numbers. He narrows down what to study in the book and what not to study. (basically your test review) HE IS AMAZING! Cal 2 is hard, hes helpfu
Great teacher!
Took this course online and expected it to be just like all other online classes with decent communication - that was not the case at all. He did not give any information until just days before it was due and there is a limited window to complete and turn it in. This isn't very friendly for those who take online classes due to being busy.
I have taken this professor for cal 2 and now cal 3. He explains very well and you can tell that he knows his stuff. He is able to teach in a way that anyone can understand. Test questions come directly form your homework he tells you to do, so as long as you do your homework and pay attention in class you will defiantly make an A or at least a B.
Professor Bazargan is a great math professor! Took the class online and I am not the best at math. Lots of homework to help you practice, and answers e-mails fast! Do the homework and do your best, he will try his best to work with you! He's great!!
Before I took Professor Bazargan, I had gone a year and a half without taking a math class. I was able to keep up with his instructions and did fairly well on tests. He is an extremely fair teacher that grades tests relatively easily. Tests are exactly like the homework and there are no quizzes. The hardest part of class is doing a lot of hwk.
Professor Bazargan is really a great teacher. His lectures are easy to follow, just make sure you show up and write down notes and what he writes on the board. Even if you forget some of what is taught, your notes will help, and his tests are from alot of notes. Do the webassign homework as it is given, as it piles up very quickly (10 Q's a day.)
Great professor! He clearly knows his stuff. Pay attention, take notes , do the homework and you will do well. Clearly explains thing and makes them simple to understand.
If you are not good at math you can still learn a lot through the ConnectMath where you have to do your homework. 4 online exams and then final in campus. If you wanna pass you will need to practice a LOT. Homeworks are open from day one and the exams are open for three days to be taken. He did give extra point as well...
Tests were mostly multiple choice so seldom ways to get partial credit and tough grader on questions that were free response. Hundreds of homework problems worth a test grade in the end. Sometimes did well answering questions sometimes seemed frustrated with them. Tests sometimes started late and ended early or on time. very strict teacher.
HCC and its professors should be ashamed of themselves. There should be a better grading scale it is set up to Fail Students. This professor doesn't respond back to messages at all. He doesn't provide his students with tutorial dates, or final exam reviews that HCC offer like most professors. You have to basically make straight A's to pas
professor doesn't help at all, his homework lack explanation for the most part, rarely replies to emails. and i tried to contact him to do the final exam earlier because i had an emergency he replied after 4 emails and told me that i cant, although the class was online. his exams are super different from his homework, just never suggest him.
Took both Calculus 1 and 2 with dr. Bazargan; extremely good prof.; explains math clearly; very helpful and super knowledgeable; made summer semester very easy to to pass; would surely take him again.
The worst professor ever. He doesn't help his students nor respond to their emails. He's very condescending and doesn't care about the students.
DO NOT take his online class if youre not good in Math, This is my 4th online class and it was the worst. He doesnt give useful lessons like others, just a 1 page pdf telling you to go through the book and work the problems. Also his review sheets are just pdf telling you which sections will be included in the exam. His modules were empty...
Take his online class as the very last option if you have the choice. Doesnt respond to emails, nor helps when youre stuck smw, instead he will tell you to go back through your textbook and work the problems again, even the courses were not courses at all, just PDFs Telling you Do you want an A? Just work problems in the book for all modules
Really enjoyed prof. Bazargan's class; very good professor; had him for Cal 1 and 2; would take him again.
Took online classes with him and turned out to very average. He will help you and reply to your email if you have any problem with the class. His assignments are online and do not keep it till the end to submit because it is a lot. Overall, it is a easy class with three online test and one in-person test. The finals will be at college.
Best calculus professor in hcc. he doesn't event look in the book for all definition. he is very knowledgeable. Explaining very well. Calculate the whole problems in the class. I wish i had him for cal 1,and 2.
Took him 4 Calculus 3. I did NOT like him! He is disorganized. does not know technology well. Has proctor exams. the worst was his grading criteria. proctored exams have % weight in formula, but if you fail proctored exams, they count MORE than formula says. YES! I don't know how he gets away w/ that and dept allows that. do NOT recommend him!
I wouldnt recommend him at all, you will not learn and fail or pass with a low grade. There are better options for math professor.
There was simply no online instruction what-so-ever, no test review, no practice exam, no specific notes on anything at all. Only simply read the book do the hw to pass. he does test straight off of the hw problems from the book say 14 out of 200 possible problems, and he never discusses any problem he might consider for the exams.
Bunch of pansies, do your homework and you'll pass, simple as that. He is a bit hard to understand at times, but he's a great guy. 10/10
Bazargan is by far the worst professor I have ever had. Do not take his class online unless you can teach yourself the material. There were zero lectures and an insane amount of homework. If you have scheduling issues don't expect him to be reasonable and help.
This class was ridiculous. I did not receive one lecture; all of the content had to be learned with powerpoints. I took a summer class, which means we only have four weeks to do all exams. This professor doesn't care about his students. On top of the homework being ridiculously large, it is also an EXAM GRADE. Save your money don take this class.
Took calc 3 online (5 weeks) and taught the whole thing to myself pretty much. A lot of homework and we had a test every Saturday. But there were a lot of opportunities for extra credit and the exams were really similar to the test review he gives. Math is all about the patterns and with a lot of practice, you can excel.
PLEASE do not take this professor. If you are okay with having to teach yourself EVERYTHING, then take it, because he does not teach well. I got an A from having to teach myself this class. 4 exams with lockdown browser, and all homework is on connect math. U do it on ur own time, but dont wait till last min to do it. Just dont take him.
If you see this mans name runnnnn and runnnn far away do not take under no circumstance. I am normally an A student and this man does not teach nothing at all!! Late to answer emails . You learn from the textbook and the test is nothing like the textbook practice problems he doesnt even give reviews for the test.
DO NOT take him for an online or flex campus class. His lectures are slow, ALL the homework is on connect math and is an exam grade, and you'll basically have to learn the course all on your own. His calls are very low quality, he arrives late sometimes, and on top of that, attendance is mandatory. Don't waste your money just to teach yourself.
Haven't taken a math class in 10 years. His lectures are a bit fast paced at times but as long as you study the textbook and ask questions, you will pass. He answered all of my emails in a timely manner and being in the military, he was more than willing to work with my schedule. FOLLOW HIS SYLLABUS AND YOU WILL PASS!!!!
He's not so great, but not the worst. No lecture, No PowerPoint or explanation. So prepare to read the e-textbook by yourself and practice by doing the homework on MyMathLab, which is helpful for the exam. He gave us the bonus point for the survey and would drop the lowest test score, which was nice.
Took him online. No Lectures, No PowerPoints. Focused on the textbook. Our module sections were blank. No instructions whatsoever. The homework was a lot. Tests had around 20 questions, 2 open-ended, rest were multiple choice. Drops lowest test gives bonus points for the survey. Overall, he is better than a lot of the professors.
Canvas modules had no content, everything was from the textbook. He didn't really explain things very well and went very fast, not very willing to accept feedback for him. I learned everything from outsides videos, khan academy, etc, and not at all from lecture and homework. I wouldn't take him again if I had to.
Course was taught only based off of textbook, canvas modules did not have additional content. Did not offer much help, only told students to refer to the textbook. The only good thing about this professor is homework is weighted the same as final, and lowest exam grade is dropped. Had extra credit at the very end.
I have no clue what they're saying during lectures, and I can't read their cursive, but dang. Difficulty level THREE rated calc 2 professor? Lowest 1 out of 4 exams dropped? grade distribution is 5% discussion, 55% exam, 20% final, 20% assignments? The professor could be a literal rock, and I would still recommend this class just for grade split.
He never really gave us an idea on what the exams are going to be like, only was told to study the examples and homework. We were allowed to have a cheat sheet during the exams. His exams were okay, mostly just multiple choice questions, he was somehow a bit particular about the written responses.
This professor was one of the best math instructors I have ever had. Very polite & kind. Great lectures. He would explain the topic, work on 1-2 examples with the class, answered any questions. Tests were on paper and HW was on ALEKS, with some extensions. The subject was challenging but he broke it down for us. Overall great guy.
Exams are mostly multiple choice but the bad thing is that I learn it on my own and went based on the homework. There is no exam reviews.he says that to go based on presentation and homework for the test.
He is accessible outside of class, but can not give any clear instructions or any way to provide help. Since this is an online class, for him to provide 0 ability to help his students is outrageously inconceivable. Do not take him. It is a waste of your patience and time.
This professor is one of the worst teachers I have every had the displeasure of taking a class from. He is non-existent. If you're taking an online course don't expect him to do anything. You can just buy the Webassign books yourself for much less money. Four words to describe him - "waste of taxpayer dollars".
Students were provided minimal to no support at all, rarely responding to his emails and offering only 3 inadequate lecture videos the whole course. During the final exam period, he was unresponsive and discouraged contact, leaving students without crucial assistance. A very disappointing experience for me, I would highly discourage this Professor.
He is the worst professor I've had to take and experience. Not only does he ghost us the whole course and not communicate but he tells us to solve our own problems without listening to us. Went to the extent to say in a hospital dont contact me. He is totally horrible I dont know why he is still teaching, save yourself and dont take this professor.
Most frustrating experience of my academic career. He is unresponsive, leaving us without guidance for most of the course, and when he does tells us to solve our own issues without offering any support. Even stated, "Don't contact me if I'm in the hospital," which is completely unprofessional. For your own sanity, steer clear of his class.
Right off the bat at the beginning of the semester, he's difficult to comprehend and doesn't look in the right shape intellectually enough to teach a class correctly. HCC should consider doing something about professors who are like this, he doesn't take his job seriously. They just hire anybody. HCC staff would complain if they had this professor.
Exams on Respondus Lockdown Browser with webcam, Professor don't have own videos solving math problems, you have to use the one in your homework, exams on lockdown browse questions and answers have to be written on paper showing steps and uploaded as PDF with in 12 after exam. If you can pass any math, then this is for you if not save your GPA
Never take this teacher, especially not online. Look for one with a good rating, otherwise wait till next semester and sign up for classes early.
Literally doesn't respond to a single email and has no lectures up that are from him. Also, very big load of homework which would be fine if he was a professor that actually was good.
