Great Professor. He is charesmatic, compassionate, and knowledgeable.
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.
Professor Mohammadi is one of the best professors I have taken in my first semester. You can tells he cares for his students and is passionate about his job. If you have a chance to take his class I would because he makes you want to come to class and learn.
Professor Mohammadi is a well structured teacher. He cares for his students. He also explains the materials clear and what is expected for the class. In addition, he provides you the office you can go to improve your writing. Overall, he was one of the best teacher I had so far and very straightforward. T.O
The most down to earth professor Ive had at York. Wants the best for all of his students
Professor Mohammadi is a great educator This was a great course and I highly recommend this class. work is straight forward and He is very understanding of any problems you may have 5 out of 5
Professor Mohammadi is great professor. And just a professor but also a motivator You should take his class.
He is an amazing lecturer, brings in real-life examples to help you understand better. Gives a reasonable amount of work. Two short assignments (3/4 pg)and one final paper (6/7 pg-you get to pick the topic). He even changed the amount of pages to do because students had a lot of work from other professors. Replies back very quickly through email.
Taking him again for the next semester. Gives a reasonable amount of work and very understanding. If you have any concerns, just speak to him. If anyone needs to take an elective, take him. He is good and you get to learn about real-life things.
My favorite Professor. Very understanding and caring and always encourages you to do your best. He gives you all you need to get an A +, but you also have to play your own part to achieve it. Reading the textbook and participating are necessities as these form the basis of your grade. He made History very interesting. Ill always recommend him.
Professor Mohammadi is a great lecturer who understands his students really deeply and shows passion towards the class. He always went above and beyond his a really humorous professor If you follow his directions it's quite easy and simple. He even understood my struggles and is really cared to help me :) I will never forget about this professor!
Super generous and really easy to contact! Respectful and overall nice to work with
Professor is okay, the lectures are interesting. Assignments aren't clear, nor are the criteria. Beyond that the class is decent.
I took his class in fall of 2020 and it was alright, although this class did stress me out a lot. Simple reading, he is chill and at most, you write like 3 essays in total, within his class. It's just that his assignment wasn't clear at times and he verbally tell it to you. Also he is easy to get a hold of after class.
If you care about your grade, I implore you not to take this man. Aside from the professor's multitude of character flaws (unorganized, humblebrag and condescending), the class met on Zoom where assignments were obscurely given, and students were not allowed to voice their contrasting views without being berated. Save yourself the emotional stress.
Professor Mohammadi is one of the most gentle, knowledgeable, kind and respected teachers Ive ever known. He is respectful and welcoming. class lectures were amazing. Clear grading policy from day 1. Will most def take again.
He is inspiring. Professor Parsa gives amazing lecture and he makes the class fun and welcoming. Gave out syllabus before class started. He was clear in his expectations. The assignments are clear and you are given opportunity to Work in groups. Highly recommended. He made subject easy to comprehend. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!highly recommend to take!
He is the best prof ever and This class was amazing! I learned a lot! I became more open-minded. He tries his best to provide all the opportunities for his students to succeed in this class such as extra credits, only two quizzes, no final, group project, and most importantly extension. He takes less than an hour to answer emails.
Taking Professor Parsa Mohammadi's class allowed me to improve my writing skills thanks to his feedback in addition his class helped me develop an open mind on numerous topics. Another thing you should know if you plan on taking a class with him is that he is quick to respond back via email. Lastly he gives out numerous extra credit opportunities.
I definitely recommend taking Professor Mohammadi's class to anyone taking CLDV. Easy to contact about any assignments or questions through email and the class is always filled with engaging as well as informative lectures. It's a very hard class to fail as long as you always show up to class and do your work.
Please do not be fooled by the seemingly good reviews like I was. For an elementary class, the workload was excessive and he cold calls. He even makes you feel stupid if you don't know the answer. Textbook is a must, do the readings because he will call on you and embarrass you. Save your GPA by not taking any class with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Mohammadi is a knowledgeable Professors that knows his stuff. One of the best classes. He is welcoming and gives awesome lectures. Do not skip class. Take notes, and participate for a good grade. Weekly discussion board posts and several writing assignments. Highly recommended and well respected. Motived me! A+ to CUNY!
A very Intelligent professor with out of the park lectures. Professor Mohammadi is caring, nurturing, unbiased and open minded. Overall he was the Best Professor I took at York . He is my Mentor. Awesome human being filled with so much knowledge. I really wish he taught full time! Do the readings, participate,take notes, and ask questions. Punctual
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
The lectures were great and it helped me a lot to understand the course better. Maybe in the future add a bit more slides for visual learners who need to see what they are learning in the course rather than listening to what was spoken.
Professor Mohammadi is knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Middle East and cares for his students. Students are required to participate in weekly discussion boards and weekly writing assignments (this is a writing intensive course after all). Lastly, there are several opportunities to earn extra credit. Definitely take this course
Professor Mohammadi is literally the BEST Professor at York College. Gave interesting lectures and is absolutely a fair grader. Cares for every single student and wants the best for them. All assignment's were given with more than enough time to complete. Made his students feel welcomed. Definitely recommend taking Professor Mohammadi!
Professor Mohammadi was an excellent professor. When you email him he response within a couple of hours which is something that I greatly appreciate. He gives informative and excellent lectures and is interactive with the students, which makes the class fun and interesting. MD
The professor is a person who knows what he is talking about with the courses he teaches, plus with his experience working for the UN, he has access to documents that cannot be found in any library. his grading policies are very concise and he only requests that you do the readings and complete the assignments to the best of your abilities. KG.
Professor Mohammadi is a great Professor! He is highly knowledgeable about the Middle East and always kept class interesting. He cares for his students and pushes you to think critically during class discussions. There are weekly discussion boards and writing assignments but as long as you do the readings you should do well. I enjoyed his class SS
Profesor is very caring. He actually cares about his students and takes the time to actually teach. He also gives out many extra credit options to be able to help those who are struggling in class. Responds to emails very quickly.
Professor Mohammadi, is a great professor, I recommend his class. He is the second professor so far in CUNY York College that I can honestly say I enjoyed the class, he gives a lot of reading and writing assignments with guidelines to how he wants you to formulate things for each paper. Professor Mohammadi class I definitely recommend taking 100%
I'm ngl but as a student in his class, he knows his lectures and what he's teaching. It's important to pay attention and read the free textbook that you can find on Google. As long as you, participate and help him when he asks you will see that he's a man of his words. He also allows freedom of speech as long as you are respectful. I enjoyed class
Professor Mahammadi would always put the effort to help as long as you put your part. He will push you to the best and he will give you extra credit work, which is very useful. He was a sub at first but he put himself in our shoes and saw that would've been hard for us have 3 different syllabus because of the professor situation, he's very fair.
CLDV 100 is writing intensive and was a fairly easy class with Professor Mohammadi, the coursework is fairly easy as well, just 1 major final paper & no exams. As long you do what you have to (show up to class and participate, assignments, final group project and final paper) you will get a good grade! He also gives extra credit opportunities!
Professor Mohammadi is passionate, Inspiring, Committed, caring, and a student-focused teacher. Thank you for loving your job so much! You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks for everything you taught me during this year, as well as your support.
I wasn't excited to be taking a History class at first but as i went through the semester this became one of my favorite classes. Professor. Mohammadi kept the class interesting even though it's a lecture heavy class. The class is an easy A if you show up and take notes. There is a midterm and final exam. I definitely loved him as a professor.
Coursework was interesting, but the way it was presented was not. There is no slides for you to go back and check, so you HAVE to listen to the lectures and take notes. I would not take this class again because he embarrasses students who ask for extra clarification on a topic and that is not what learning is about. Listen to me and save your GPA
Professor Mohammadi is a Gem. This class consists of weekly discussion boards, reading & writing assignments, a paper, geography quiz and a final exam. Do not take this class if your are unwilling to put in the work. Amazing lecturer and highly accessible outside of class. I learned so much from taking this course with Professor. Mohammadi.
Professor Mohammadi is a very simple class to get a good grade in. Show up as attendance is a major part of the grade, and take notes as what he tells you is what he wants you to answer. He is a very funny professor who will call you after hours to give praise or show worry, something many professors at this school wouldn't do.
I'll be honest, he's a cool professor you just have to know how to communicate with him. It can help you to a certain extent. Just try to participate as much as you can and attend the class. If you have any questions you can ask him.
Take him if you want to learn about the Middle East; he makes history fun. The lectures are amazing; he is a very insightful person, and students can learn a lot from him. He will not waste your time; be on time, participate, and handle the assignments on time, and you will pass this class; he wants his students to succeed.
Prof. Mohammadi is straightforward. Come to class and do your best. Open to explanations of material and students understanding concepts for the sake of knowledge.
Awesome Professor cares about his students and helps whenever he can.
One of the best courses I have taken at CUNY. He gives clear instructions. His syllabus is easy to follow and understand. The professor makes you want to return to class because his lectures are packed with so much knowledge and lectures are attention -grabbing. Just take good notes and ask questions. I learned so much from this course.
Very good lectures, always gives extra credit and very fair with his students when it comes to giving assignments and easy syllabus to follow, always available to meet with students .
Professor Mohammadi is a great professor. We learn about different cultural backgrounds from classmates. He doesn't give many assignments, there's 1 group work project, a final term paper and if you aren't doing well, he takes time out of his day to give advice on how to do better. Also he's a fair professor in giving out reasonable extensions.
A great Professor, very understanding to individuals situations. Class was never dull and very informative. I would gladly take another one of his courses. S.S
Great Professor. Posts assignments way before due dates and also gives extensions on them. Provides a fair number of extra credit assignments which really boosts up the grade. He is very lenient with the students, but is a tough grader so know what to write and what not to write in the papers. His lectures are informative and fun to attend.
Professor Mohammadi is understanding, you just need to inform him about your situation. He gives extra credit assignments and makes sure to engage the class, grading criteria is clear and he discusses with the class before he makes any changes to the syllabus. Attendance and participation is a must. I would definitely take this course again! - N.M.
Professor Mohammadi is a respectable man. There may be difficult times, but he'll help you throughout those hard times and he's a man of his word. He gives many opportunities for extra credit and gives us enough time to do well in his class. He grades hard, and that's understandable. He's a fair professor and wants to see his students succeed. T. R
Professor P. Mohammadi is fantastic. He was VERY lenient when it came to assignments and exams. He wants you to do the work, follow the format, and do some research. Do more than just write his assignment superficially. He is also available to help students during office hours or makes himself available in exceptional cases Participation plus. A.R
Professor Mohammadi is a great professor. He cares for his students, is understanding, gives extra credit to help your grade, and takes time to talk to you personally about your work or any issues you have. His class is never boring you will always pay attention. S.R
Professor Mohammad Is a professor that wants to see his students understand the work and succeed. He has given us students multiple chances to improve our work so that we can pass. He will extend deadlines, gives us advice and where to look if we need help on writing and also researching, but only if he believes that we can get the job done -D.S.
professor was good and very nice love to give extra credit a lot. He gives a lot of student's chances to improve. I love to take his class again. Professor love to extend deadlines for students. Sometimes he gives good advice which can you help you a lot.
Very fair profesor, makes sure students understand his lectures. Amazing lectures, always available for his students before and after class for meetings. I would recommend this class! M.V
"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" describes him best. Has high expectations but does everything to help you succeed as long as you take his help and put in effort. Regularly gives advice, helps with research, responds to emails fast, extends deadlines when necessary, lenient, and overall a very chill professor. Take Him.
Professor Mohammadi was an extremely easy and fun professor to be around! His lectures was quite informative and he kept the class entertained throughout the semester. The class was super easy, all you need to do is listen very well, participate and always take good notes! -A.M
Wow! Amazing professor! Would highly recommend taking his course. I learned so much about writing and other cultures. He gives incredible lecturers and makes you interested in the material being taught.,
Professor Mohammadi is a jewel. He communicates and lectures to help thinking and wanting to learn and research more. Very understanding and communicates on bb on time and replied to my email very fast. Always available during office hours and very helpful. There is a review before midterm, and NGL the professor is funny. Two thumbs up!
He was a good professor, attending is mandatory if you want a good. His lectures are pretty decent but if you miss one day you can get lost. He wants all his student to pass, he is very understanding if you just communicate with him and let him know he will understand. He does offer extra credit.

Beware he can come off as strict which he kinda is
Be prepared to write a good amount. Very willing to give extra credit or opportunities, and has office hours. You will likely have one group project. Very willing to discuss grades and courses of action needed to be taken to improve. Frequent lectures. Overall enjoyed my time in the class and felt like my writing ability has improved.
Professor Mohammadi is a great professor and i would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Professor Mohammadi, is a great professor and i would definitely recommend him to anyone and anyone.
Just have to write Paper Mostly to pass his class. Attendence matters.
Get ready to write a significant amount. Has office hours and is very willing to give opportunities or additional credit. You will work on one group project. Mr.Mohammadi open to talking about grades and the steps that need to be taken to get better. Regular lectures. I had a good overall experience in the class and thought my writing had improved.
Professor Mohammadi is a caring and great professor. He explains well what to expect from the course and how to improve yourself as a student. He wants all his students to pass and shows that through enjoyable lectures that keep you interested. He is a very understanding and lenient professor. I enjoyed my semester and would definitely retake him!
Prof: help student to understand
PARTICIPATION DEFINITELY MATTERS!
I would definitely take the class over. There will be a lot of writing and a group project but the professor gives clear guidelines on how to improve your writing and grades fair. He also has given extra credit when needed. The test are open ended and really depends on if you were paying attention in class and reading up on chapters to do well.
it was a great class to take, each lecture you learn smt new and intriguing where i have gone home and done research on certain topics. The class is mainly focused on lecture and tossing around ideas to elaborate on a point.
He can't pick his mind. He allows students to choose whether they want the extra credit or the grade to affect their grade but then the next class he will come up with something completely different. His class is extremely hard to follow, there are no slides, and assignments are graded harshly. I was fooled by the reviews on here tbh.
He is the man! Amazing lectures with historical and real life examples. Lectures were easy to understand and clear and timely feedback on assignments. Prof. Parsa is knowledgeable, funny and has real world experience.
Professor Parsa's cultural diversity course was amazing. His lectures and support were excellent, and he went above and beyond the book. He provided clear handouts, a well-structured syllabus, and wanted his students to thrive and succeed. One of the best professors I've taken at York Cuny!
Professor Parsa P. Mohammadi lectures in a way that may seem unorthodox but with good reason. As a student, he would rather have you learn and understand the premises of the theories and principles of history and how they connect with history. His grading is fair, if you put effort into your assignments, exams, and lecture notes you will succeed.
The class structure was confusing and he just read off a paper for his lectures. He had many technical issues he was unable to fix since the beginning of November and therefore, we were not given a bunch of writing assignments towards the end of the semester. In general very unorganized but I did learn a lot.
This professor was very lenient yet challenging. He's there to push you, but is also very understanding. To do good in this course you have to attend the lectures and he will tell you what chapters to read when. Overall would take again.
He's very firm but his lectures are fun and genuinely wants to prepare you for the life outside of school. Definitely would recommend him
Put in the effort and you should be good. And make sure to do things on time.
Prof. Mohammadi strongly encourages you to be on top of your work and hold yourself accountable with punctuality, quality of work, and deadlines. He helped me improve as a student. He doesn't accept late work. Reserve a healthy amount of bandwidth for his course, build a good relationship with him, PARTICIPATE, and don't slack off.
amazing prof just put effort in your work and you're guaranteed success. he's also very caring and will step out his way to help you. hope to have to him again
This course offers a valuable learning experience, led by a thoughtful and knowledgeable professor. The syllabus was easy to follow, and the feedback provided was insightful and supportive. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of culture, I highly recommend enrolling. Overall, a worthwhile course!
don't let these reviews fool you at all
He was the best professor and i would recommed anyone for this class.
He's a good teacher, but always let him know when you can't attend.
He's nice, and he's fair. I have zero complaints. Willing to assist with any student issues, and he is very understandable regarding situations so long as you contact him. Would take this professor again for other classes if possible. J. T. R.
This man is hella flexible when it comes to submitting work. If you want an easy corse with free credits take this class. As someone who hates writing this writing intensive corse was easy.
This course offers a valuable learning experience to individuals interested in learning about culture. Professor is very thoughtful and knowledgeable about the syllabus. Once you attend class and read the textbook the class is easy to pass. He was willing to answer questions. I would definitely recommend this course and professor to others.
Professor Mohammadi cares about his students and teaches clearly. The syllabus is easy to follow with clear dates. He gives helpful feedback and shows how to fix mistakes. The class covers many cultural topics. He is fair on tests and makes lectures easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this class and professor. Foussini Fofana
Professor Parsa is a great professor. His lectures would always challenge the way I view the world and I appreciate him for that. He is also very understanding, as long as you communicate with him he will understand and assists you with the assignments. He also encourages me to participate just so he can hear my viewpoint on the topic.
Z.S The Professor is understanding and helped when needed regarding group work The lectures were good and I felt improvement in my region of understanding globalization I liked it overall compared to other courses, it felt unique I believe Professor Parsa Mohammadi cares a lot about his students and all alike meeting standards above and beyond.
Professor was nice and very understanding. The lecturers are engaging, learned interesting facts about some cultures. No final but there is two pop quiz's, some 3 page assignments , and a 8-12 page paper. Do the work, clear and simple. JHT
This professor is a great professor, he during this time of being in class made us learn to stay disciplined, and always be on top of your work. I Interacted with everyone in the class and he highly encourages with group work. The lectures were highly interesting, talks about real world topics. The professor is fair and understanding.
Professor Mohammadi was the best professor I've ever had. He was always engaging, he made himself relatable to us all. He made the class enjoyable and interesting. Making us see our similarities and differences. He overall 10/10. Very professional and traditional but understanding.
Very interesting lectures. Assignments are writing based, but are straightforward and always connected to previous lectures. He is really empathetic, patient, and open minded. He will push you to participate in class, which may be annoying to some but he truly just wants the best for your learning experience and your grades. G.S.
Professor Mohammadi is a great professor. He always pushes us to do our best and to participate. The lectures were interesting and great, and they always related to our pop quizzes. It's a very easy class. Just remember to do all your work and focus. SD
Lectures felt more like a conversation instead of just listening to someone talk the whole time, Prof Mohammad is also a very fair grader. A.B.
