I have recently taken Stat in Fall 2018 and at first I did not enjoy it. But after learning the set up with the class and all the resources he made available, I thoroughly began to understand it and actually make sense of it. All the notes he provided in class helped me do well on the tests and homework. And always gave extra credit & redos for HW.

Reza is a good professor and offers extra credit for every exam, drops homeworks and quizzes plus your final exam grade can also replace a low exam grade. As long as you participate (and go to tutoring if needed) youll pass the class.

Make sure you show up and pay attention in class. He goes over everything you need to know for the exams. Do the bonus because they give you insight to what the test will be like.

I had a really good time in this class. One test is replaced by the final exam which saved me in the end. I would definitely recommend this professor to incoming students.

Good professor! as long as you REALLY put in the time and effort for his class and go along with his teaching 'ways' you'll do just fine. He is always readily available in mathlab and email via Canvas. I plan on taking him again for 1105 because he really wants to help his students and it shows *I'm not a math person*. Made stats entertaining!

If you are willing to put in effort, he is willing to work with you. I don't do math but he is very helpful. He will meet with you when you are able to and help you as much as possible. I'm hoping he teaches 1105 because he is the only one who has sucessfully taught me any math at all from tutoring to being my professor, he has gotten me thru math.

Hes one of the best Stats professor on campus.

You just have to put on effort and you will be passing with an A.

I'v seen other students ratings about this professor. I was skeptical at first but when I took the class got A. I noticed people that complain about him is either not showing up to class, not paying attention in class. Also last we as students complain about a professor if we don't get the grade we want. Be honest college isn't supposed to be easy.

This teacher has the best intentions for all of his students. He gives 110% towards every lecture and really wants you to understand. Super helpful outside of the classroom as well. This is no easy A course, if you work for it you will fully understand all concepts. Everyone who bashed him on here did not try to do well, they just wanted to pass.

I'm not great at math but I did above average on my tests and have a good grade so far. He gives extra credit opportunities and gives you more than one try for every canvas quiz. Sometimes there is miscommunication but he is very accessible outside of class to answer any questions. The best advice for his course is to take good notes and ask q's

To be quite frank the man is there to help you pass. He's not there to flunk you and at the end of the day you want someone on your side. Professor Hajikordestani is on your side. Go to class, take notes and ask questions. There is no excuse to fail. It was a pleasure Professor

He exceeded my expectations. Attendance is mandatory. You must participate. Gives you all the information you need for tests. Take all the notes you can, even examples. Gives extra credit. Does everything he can to help you understand and pass. You have to put in the work. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's not an easy A.

Reza is a wonderful professor although it is an acquired taste. Not an easy A by any means but if you're willing to put in the effort, you'll do just fine. The class is very fast paced but he is very accessible outside of the class room. He genuinely cares about his student and their education which is hard to come by now in days.

first A I ever get in math. works with students to make sure they know the material and can pass. Offers office hours where helps you understand the material. practice exams are similar to exams so you can prepare. offers extra credit. listens to feedback. Amazing! his brother is also a great tutor. let use a cheat sheet on exam! bumped grades!

Prof Reza is very caring and wants you to pass. The quizzes and tests are fair if you study. He posts his notes and reviews online. The hw is optional and extra credit if you do so. Tests are split in half. Half multiple choice and half written response. Very generous partial credit on written response. Responds to emails same day.

Professor Reza lays out exactly what you need to succeed. Do the problem sets to prep for quizzes, do the practice tests to prep for exams, and review exams for the final. The course is front-loaded and builds on itself. Start strong and you'll do fine. My one negative is that lecture quality suffered when the class moved online for the quarantine.

The course pretty straight forward, it is very test and quiz heavy in regards to grades. Homework is non-mandatory but rather a supplement/participation for extra help. You have to go to class because the way he works out problems is specific and he wants the same format shown on the tests & you get a formula sheet each test. You will work hard!

I was in Summer class and there were lots of bad apples in the class. The students expected the class to be easy and fun way of getting an A. We are in college. I slacked off a bit at the beginning, but recovered to finish with a C+ after the professor giving us extra credit for exams by redoing problems similar. I would definitely take him again.

Absolutely amazing professor. I wish he would teach Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry. I took the class in Spring 2020. I definitely recommend him to get ready for University classes.

I took this class in Spring 2020 and even with COVID19 he was always helpful. Don't necessarily read the negative comments and think is true. From being a student we like to criticize a professor when we don't do well. There is no expectation for curves or extra credit when you come to college. This is not high school, and I would recommend him.

Don't read into all of this negative ratings. We all want easy As, and we don't care about livelihood of other professors. He is a good professor and I got an A in Spring semester in his STA2023. I hope he can teach other classes so I could enroll in them.

The truth is I got a B in the class, because he helped me all the way to the end. I took this class in Summer A 2020 when COVID-19 was running around us. This man stayed up with me at times until 9:30 PM to help me with the material. Definitely recommend him.

I've always considered math my weakest subject and this class was extremely difficult, however, I believe it could have been much worse with any other teacher. Prof. Reza made me get over my lifelong fear of math & I feel confident in my math abilities. Must work for your grade but it will feel so good in the end! Must study a ton outside class!

Reza has done a very good job of running an online course. He provides concise but relevant notes on every section/chapter that we're going through, and is exceptionally willing to help students outside of class hours. Stats is, naturally, a difficult course, but Reza is a very kind and dilligent professor.

College is not meant to be easy, and he gets students ready for University.

If you want to get an A and understand Statistics he is your professor to go to. But if you don't want Statistics for future go to other professors who care about ratings only.

I took him for STA2023 and now I took him for MAC1105, goes above and beyond to help his students if you reach out to him. I don't agree with the comments below, because we all want easy professor, but university life is different than easy life.

I got B in Statistics this semester from this class. College is not meant to be easy just like everyday normal work. I have learned statistics being in this class. Some of the students below have complained, say don't read into positive comments, but also I would say don't read the negatives either. If you do what he says and get help you got it.

I am about to finish my dual enrollment and this is the hardest class I have ever taken. With that being said college isn't meant to be easy. This was only my second time getting a B in a course and that was with working my butt off. If you want an easy grade, don't take him. If you want to learn statistics, take him. True university professor.

Statistics is a material-heavy class in general, but prof. taught it to the best of his ability. The content itself wasn't difficult, but it can be tedious to get techniques down. Prof. is always available, responds quickly, and gives useful feedback on homework and tests. If you're a good student and take this class seriously, you'll do well.

Some have said, he does not help you. If you work in his class, he will help you. He helped me. He is not an easy A, and that is okay.

The professor is good and I would absolutely take his class if he was teaching the higher level math courses that I need for my Mechanical Engineering major.

He is an amazing teacher that brings a great element of humor which makes you want to engage with his class. This isn't a class for an easy A, or to simply get the credit. I would take this class if you truly want to learn the material for future understanding in later maths classes, and want somebody that will make the experience less painful.

Professor Reza changed my relationship with Algebra. I came into college after taking Calculus Honors in high school and ended up completely bombing the ALEKS. I now feel confident in my algebra skills and have a great relationship with Professor Reza. He cares and wants you to succeed. I'm looking forward to taking him for STA2023 and MAC1105.

I would recommend this professor to any student looking to excel in Mathematics.

Definitely the greatest experience taking MAT1033 even though it was my second attempt at the course. Great professor in office hours. Lecture sessions can be a bit difficult to catch up with the course material, but overall good professor.

This class mostly computational so if you know the formulas and the steps you will do fine. You actually don't even NEED to memorize them since he allows a self-made formula sheet for every exam. For quizzes the formula sheet was not allowed but they are not worth a huge grade. MOST IMPORTANTLY Learn the TI-84 Calculator commands and buttons.

I had him for two courses. He was never rude to anyone.

Assignments were definitely challenging and need time spent studying for tests, but this is expected of a college student. I have read comments on here and no one really tells us whether the professor is exam heavy. Just whatever the grades were for the course. 4 exams plus a final and about 15 homework assignments.

This professor is all about ensuring that students will make the transition from SF to other universities. Class maybe difficult, but utilize Office Hours.

Some of the comments from others albeit may or may not be true is their opinion. From time spent studying the materials with the professor, I would like to continue with MAC1105 and MAC1140 eventually in future.

Definitely cares about his students and will go above to help the students. Always professional. Waiting to register for STA2023 in Summer 2025 with him.

Professor Reza will help you in office hours. Make sure to utilize office hours to receive a good grade.

If you care about learning and providing time and effort Professor Reza will assist you. I received assistance on office hours and emails requesting assistance and the professionalism was always shown. Thank you!!

Hoping this professor will be available to teach MAC2311 in the Fall 2025 semester. He is willing to help students that reach out to him. I heard students in the MAC1140 class that would talk negatively without seeking assistance. Once you seek assistance, you will know the professor that he is moving forward.

Allowed formula sheets on tests. Must be present for lectures to take adequate notes. Requires homework to be printed out. Relatively gracious with grading (partial credit given).
