This class is the easiest A ever. The online tests can be done without reading the book (just search through the chapters for the answers) and most problems can be also answered using common sense. The teacher is unorganized though, but other than that, if you just want an A, you would have to try to get anything lower. Ridiculously easy.

I worked really hard in her class. I participated, did all her quizzes, even extra credit. Some how I ended up not getting an A. Yet I had high scores on everything. I'm going to the dean. I feel my grade was personal. If you don't want to be graded personal and unfair, I advise you not to take her. I got marked down for blackboard mistakes.

In PD 105 we learned a basic guideline of essential parts of college without actually applying anything or going deeper into it. Lectures were repeats of what we learned for HW. It is a very easy class with the HW only being 2 pgs as a summary which wouldn't help with the application of concepts. Easy class but not very useful information.

The PD class was really helpful for my first semester at Ohlone College. The professor does give homework but it is usually due at the end of the week, and as long as you complete it you will pass. The class prepares you for the upcoming semesters and even the transfer process. It is really informational and helped me plan for the future.

Professor Dadgar is a very caring teacher. Not only is she doing her job, she is also there to look out for you as a person who is there for you. She is not here to grade us based upon how good we can do an assignment, more like how much we can express our thoughts and creativity. I believe you should take the time to take this class.

Professor Dadgar's class is an easy A. As long as you put in the work and participate, there's no reason why you shouldn't pass. Staying 15mins after class is normal as she isn't really organized in her lectures. Because she is also a guidance counselor, she really pushes getting an SEP which is great for first-year students. She helped me a lot.

This professor is super nice and caring; no complaints whatsoever there. My advice is to really think about taking a pd course. These courses are only meant to familiarize somebody with basic concepts, study habits, etc. Most of which can be done on your own. While good for credits it would be better to take a requirement if you are able to.
