I took History 262 with Professor Mohammadi in the Fall of 2016 @ York College CUNY. This Professor is charismatic, knowledgable, and helpful. I had very little knowledge re; the Middle East prior to taking this course. I feel as if I am sufficiently versed in the topic after taking this course. Reading involved and attendance is mandatory!
This is one of the best teachers you will ever have. I love him! Go to class and take notes for an A+. He engages the entire class and makes the material so easy to understand. Just a brilliant man. You will learn a lot.
As a history major, this class and Professor Mohammadi is one of the most well needed for the history department. Every class captures your attention and having one of the most knowledgeable professors only made it better!!! You will not only expand your views on world history, but you will get the meet the pleasure of meeting a sweet professor.
Professor. Parsa Mohammadi is by far an incredible lecturer. Professor. Mohammadi knows the material and explains the class material well. The class is based not only on the readings but also on class lectures. Take notes. Show up to class. Do the readings, and Participate in class discussions. Engaging and wonderful Professor. A must take.
Professor Parsa is an awesome professor. His Middle East class will help to see both sides of all the conflicts and issues of the Middle East. Growing up in an Egyptian home I was used to a lot of anti antisemitism. But thankfully there was none of that in Parsa's classroom. He's fair and objective while still being open. So take his class.
History 262-T was an amazing class. I learned so much from this class. Professor. Parsa is understanding and ran the class smoothly. I'm able to look at a map of the Middle East and know which country it is. He knows a lot and it was a pleasure having a professor who was open minded and well knowledgeable in many aspects. -Fahmida
Professor Mohammadi was an excellent professor, he was one my favorite professors and it was a pleasure to have him teach my course. I'd definitely take him if you're looking for a genuine, caring professor that is engaging and you'll actually learn.
He is a great professor and he takes time to make sure you learn the lesson given. He gives good extra credit for you to catch up and get a good grade. Student: Lamont Profitt
This class is very interesting and useful! Need to read text book, take good notes, and you'll do fine. Professor Mohammadi is laid back and funny. Definitely worth taking Elizabeth Budhoo
Amazing professor. Great lectures. I have gained so much knowledge on the subject matter. I believe he was with the United Nations before teaching. He incorporated many topics on current events. I also have a family and work full time. He provides you with his contact information and was always there to answer my questions in a timely manners.
Professor Mohammadi is an expert in Middle Eastern affairs, and brings to the class his knowledge of the region through his personal experiences as well as through his experiences as a UN worker. If you need to know anything pertaining to the Middle East Professor Mohammadi will likely have extensive knowledge on the topic.
Prof. Mohammadi conveyed the class material clearly. Show up to class, do readings, take notes and participate. In order to get an A + just memorize or learn from lectures and reproduce on exam in addition to incorporating text. One of the better Professors at CUNY! Phenomenal lectures! Decent amount of reading. Class participation matters.
This professor is knowledgeable. I learned a lot by taking his course. Reading out of class is required, and class participation and attendance are mandatory. Clear grading criteria. Very happy to have taken course with Professor Parsa.
Great Professor. Love him. Highly recommended!

He is clear and compelling. Also, he is a very charismatic teacher. Show up to class, participate, and take notes to earn an A. I highly recommend him
Professor Mohammadi was one of the best professors I took put of the fact that his lectures are filled with knowledge and really cares about his students. Definetely will recommend to others to take his class
So, I retained the information, I have the map of the Middle East memorized which is great but I have to admit he can come off a bit agressive but once you get past that the course overall was pretty simple. Y.P
Class was very informative. There is a lot of group projects in class. Skipping class will not help you pass the class. Very respectful and always available to the class early morning or late at night. KM
He's a very enthusiastic professor who has a vast knowledge of middle eastern history and current conflict. There was never a dull moment in his class. Highly recommend him!!
Great lectures but you must be prepared to read the text book and be able to discuss it in class.
Professor Mohammadi is willing to help his students and is easily accessible. His grading criteria is clear and he is a fair grader. In class group projects. Dont be late, if you are going to be late, email him.
Not bad a bad class
One of the most caring professors that i have ever taken. Always looks out for his students. You will definitely learn coming out of this course.

I literally LOVE this man. He is one of the absolute best professors at this school. He definitely knows what he is doing. He gives a lot of good information during lectures, which are helpful for the papers and final exam. For the papers, you read excerpts from some books and are well set. I urge you to take his classes! Awesome Awsome lectures.
He does care, make sure you read and attend class and participate like any other class and its impossiable to fail.
Professor Parsa is very accessible outside the classroom and does his best to help you succeed in his class. He also provides good feedback and gives you advice as you are writing your paper. However, as you enter his class you must be prepared to put your best foot forward, and read the book. Be prepared to discuss what you read in the textbook.
Professor Moahmmadi, Truley goes out of his way to communicate, understand, and help his students on many aspects. His class involves reading the assignments for the lectures of the day and wants to create an interaction, open conversation with the class instead of a boring lecture.
Professor Mohammadi is very caring and accessible outside of class. He allows no more than three absences, if you do miss more than three class sessions you will fail the course. Participation matters, the professor will be able to count more points towards the overall grade if you do participate. The professor has strict deadlines.
Professor Mohammedi was awesome. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have all the tools you need to successfully get through his course. Also, when he can he also tries to give his students valuable tools they can utilize to succced in life. As a student in his class you are sure to learn the subject matter which he is presenting to you. Good
Come to class prepared. Participate and take good notes. Two papers and a final exam. I learned a lot about geography, history, and current events. Professor. Mohammadi is a no nonsense type of guy and a straight shooter. A must take class for those who want to learn and challenge themselves. Awesome Professor. Smart as hell

This is one of the best profesor you'll ever take, it was truly an honor taking his class, participate, do your work, and read the textbook and you'll be fine, I wish all my professors were like him, amazing profesor.
Great professor, fair but firm, any concerns you have about the class or even other things he will be more than happy to help. He also is very straight forward about assignments and what he expects of you. Does a great job of interacting with students and makes a very comfortable class environment. Definitely would take another class from him.
Definitely a great class and he is really helpful. Very flexible and understanding when it comes to issues outside of the classroom. Clear on the dates in which assignments are due, and will only test you on what he has taught you. Class is fun in addition to being informative, if you decide to take it I'm quite sure it will be a great experience.
Great Professor!!! He is THE best, really loves his jobs and love to interact with students. If you read, show up to class, and do your work (which every student should do) you will pass!!! He is a great teacher and has great lectures and if you do not understand the work he will work with you one on one. Take him, you will not regret it.
Professor Mohammadi is hands down one of the best professors Ive ever taken. He truly cares about his students succeeding beyond the classroom and he will push you till you discover your potentials. He really makes you think outside the box about any world issues he presents to you. Hes very interactive. I would call him a world changer maker!
The corse is fair for you to pass you have to be in class paying attention if you don't you are going to fail but its pretty easy for the most part, and the professor is really he will work with you as long as you show the effort and if there is any problem email him and he will respond to you quick with the answer to your problem.

Great professor. I would definitely take him again. He cares for his students. The group work are fun. Barely no homework or long papers. The class take trips and food parties.

Great professor who really cares about his students. I learned a lot in his class and he impacted us greatly. Attendance is mandatory, dont be late.
this professor really cares for students and wants them to reach their full potential. taking his class will improve writing skill.
Come to class and do assignments, youll pass
He is an amazing professor that actually cares about his students. Everything is straight forward. You must show up to class and participate. Once you do that, youll be good to go.
Was taken out of the course over a legal matter. Very unfortunate he was replaced 10 classes into the semester but was a great professor
I hated my high school experience and having him as a freshmen in college, I can gladly say I've loved my transition into college. He is one of the best most real teachers I've ever had and I wouldn't miss a single one of his classes. If I had the choice I'd take him every year of college.
He is very professional and respectful. You will pass his class if you the work that's assigned. Papers aren't that long, usually 2/3pages and on interesting topics. He is caring and understands you.
Extremely respectful to all students in the class. Very enthusiastic with class and always enters the class with a positive attitude.
Really an amazing professor. He is really interactive and doesnt take his job seriously. This is the most comfortable I felt in a class since being here in this school
Amazing professor, cares about all his students and teaches very well!!!
Professor Mohammadi is amongst the best professors I've had. He is an incredibly caring professor and wants everyone to do well. He treats all his students with respect and creates an inclusive and interesting discussion environment. I would definitely take him again. I would 100% recommend him to everyone.
Easy-going class if you do the work and the effort you put into. No tests, pop-up quiz!!!
A great professor.
A very good professor and has a very good teaching style. He makes a good connection with his student .very straight forward.
He is a very good Professor. He encourages us to do our best and he cares about our futures. Very interactive and compassionate. I would definitely take his class again.
Professor Parsa Mohammadi is a great professor. He cares for his students and he treated you with respect also he is very straightforward. I will highly recommend this professor and would like to have him again for other class. Just follow his instructions and you will be fine with an A.
Professor Mohammadi is a true gem. Pre-pandemic he was very understanding and clear about deadlines and expectations. During the current pandemic, those traits soared through. He is a professor that truly cares about his students and he is easily accessible outside of class to help. Participate and do all the readings and you will not regret.
Professor Mohammadi is literally one of those professors who want to see you do good not only in class but go far in life. He was an extreme life saver when he gave me permission to take his class even after registration was closed and class was already over a week in. He gives real life advice and information and ties it into his courses!
Professor Mohammadi is a very passionate teacher and he ensures that everyone understands what is being taught no matter the diversity of the class. Very straightforward and communicates what is needed to pass his class from the very beginning. He is caring, interactive and always encourages us to do great. A great experience being his student!
The most caring professor I have ever taken. As long as you show that you're doing your part as a student, Prof Mohammadi will care for you and put you on a pedestal. His intertwining of current events with past issues will definitely have you thinking. Prof's goal is for you to walk out of the class learning something and you will. Must Take!!
Great Professor! Very informative when it comes to history especially the United Nations. Always helpful with his students with assignments and reading. Definitely learned a lot from taking this class. Always do the reading and participate that matters the most and send in the work on time.
As a student completely unaware of anything relating to the government, this class was clear cut with multiples real life examples to help understand. The lecture although was online was still well done and mainly discussed topics surrounding the textbook reading. There was no test so this class mainly focus on understanding the topic.
This professor makes class really interesting and fun. His lectures always teach something new and he gives amazing advice and feedback. I don't wanna come off as praising him too much but he really is an amazing professor. I recommend anyone interested take his class. Just make sure to do the assignments on time and you participate.
Professor Mohammadi's lectures are very engaging and he's willing to spend time making sure everyone understands the necessary course materials. His lectures are very straightforward and pair well with assigned readings. He's very flexible and easy to contact.
He is very respectful and understanding and makes sure that you understand the topic. He gives real-life examples and responses back to your email within one hour or less. Participation matters a lot and there was no final exam or a test for this class (history 316). He gave two short assignments (3/4 pages or less) and one final paper (6-7).
You won't regret taking him, I took him again for my fall 2020 because I needed an elective class. Planning on taking him again next semester. The work he gives is very reasonable and if you have concerns or anything, just speak to him. He is very understanding.
Prof. Mohammadi is very knowledgeable and respectful. Aside from the textbook, he explains the subject and goes deep into international relationships, making connections between past and current events. The class subject is on point and always includes a wide point of view. Participation and professionalism are expected and explained.
His lectures are interesting and well detailed. Textbook is mandatory; however, with his lectures you get a better understanding of the readings. He cares for his students which makes the online class experience comfortable. He offers extra credit which is great because it gives students the opportunity to boost their grade. Participate participate
Professor Parsa was a great professor, he was very patient, he gives a few writing assignments but if you pay attention during the lecture you will do well. He will tell you when a specific topic during the lecture is important, he also expects you to participate and will make it clear that you need to join the classroom discussion.
Professor Mohammadi was the best professor I had during my Fall season in 2020. He teaches in a way where students can easily understand his topics and get his students involved with it. If you have a chance to take any of his classes, go ahead! it is 100% recommended.
Professor Mohammadi, was/is a great teacher. Lectures were always interesting. He always went above and beyond to share info that was not in our textbook. Participation and attendance is IMPORTANT, read the assigned pages and be ready to talk during class. Only assigned 3 paper: 2 regular papers, and a final. If you follow his directions... an A.
He was fair, It is to get A+ or A in his class. Just do your paper and Participate in his class, that's it. You are also able to learn more and get a good example for your explanation.
Professor Parsa Mohammadi have really good lecture. All you have to do is to attend class and participate. Really generous and really easy to contact .
Professor Mohammadi is accessible outside of class, goes out and beyond for his students. If you communicate with him he's understanding and helpful for all situations. Motivates his students to do better. The lectures are informative always enjoyable with his great sense of humor. You won't regret taking this class. No Final Exam!!
I highly recommend this course to all interested in gaining knowledge about the topic. Incredible lectures. A must take class. The most noteworthy & charismatic Professor Ive taken at CUNY. Do the readings, participate,take notes, and ask questions. Prof is punctual and passionate-easily accessible during office hours and through e-mail. Must take
Professor is a great lecturer. He interacts well with the students. He always asks questions during class that make you think and teaches in a way that you can better understand the material in the text or discussion board post. I've taken several classes with him and it is truly great experience. Interactive class. Always there for support.
Professor Mohammadi is one of the most gentle, knowledgeable, kind and respected teachers Ive ever known on this planet. He is respectful and welcoming. class lectures were amazing.
Awesome professor. Fascinating wealth of knowledge. I learned a great deal about the subject matter. Show up to class and take good notes for a good grade. Highly recommended. The prof. Has real life experiences as a former Marine and United Nations Delegate.
Hands down one of the best classes at CUNY. This Professor is certifiable. The man makes you want to come to class. Wow! Amazing lectures filled with so much material. Funny, and attention grabbing! I still go over my notes from his class. They should name a classroom or something with his name on it. A+ to CUNY for having Professor Parsa!
Great class. Great professor. Don't hesitate and take. Fascinating lectures.
One word: wow!
Highly recommend taking if you want to learn more about cultural diversity. Weekly reading/writing assignments helped me to become a better writer especially with the various revisions. Easy A as long as you put in the effort.
Interesting class with reasonable workload. Professor is very understanding - just communicate if you need help. Definitely take it if you want to learn more about cultural diversity. Unstuckstudy was a great study tool alongside the textbook.
Professor Mohammadi is a saint. His lectures were amazing. He helped me understand the topic. He is understanding & communicates on bright space on time and replied to my email the same day. Always available during office hours and he is very helpful. There is a review before each quiz, and NGL the professor is the real deal. Two thumbs up to Cuny!
