Prof. Faradineh was very easy. He kind of has an accent but regardless of that he is still very easy and understandable. I had him for Math 50 during the '04 Fall semester and I loved it. At some points I actually looked forward to going to his class because he made math so much easier and fun. I easily got an A.

He's great at teaching in a way you'll learn and understand. However, I took him for summer session 2 '05, and my one qualm was about how he refused to let anyone do homework during class. A bit intimidating to ask questions from, and discussion on his subject is very difficult to start with him. I often fall asleep from his very serious lectures.

I took him during the summer and very happy I did. He explains everything and even has online tutorials to help. He really explains the material multiple times so it gives the ones who are not great a chance. Obviously homework is mandatory but not excessive. If your willing to try you'll pass. I suggest taking him, I actually enjoyed his class.

He cares deeply that you leave his class knowing the material. He doesn't suffer fools, lateness, or cellphone use in class. He will toss you out if you cross any of those lines. He's tough, but clear, helpful and fair. Prof Faradineh has his own website filled with supplementary material for his students. I struggle with math. I'd take him again.
