This teacher is awful! He's nice at times but very arrogant and rude when you ask a question, not helpful at all. He said that his class average is 50%, what does that say about the teacher when most of his students fail?! You basically have to teach yourself the material and then I still wish you luck to even pass. Avoid this teacher!

This professor makes it a point to be as difficult as possible. He does not stick to his syllabus, he bounces around in the book and was overall disappointing. The highest score on the tests were around 70% and he refused to curve or show you the original exam to compare to your scantron score. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

This professor is teaching 6 classes this semester, various schools and various subjects. It shows. He is disorganized, not very accessible, has dubious grading practices. He's not a mean guy just arrogant, and evasive. Forget about reviews. Nor will you be able to review what you got wrong on an exam even though the final is comprehensive.

OMGOSH DONT EVER TAKE HIM. THE WORST TEACHER IVE EVER HAD. 2/3 OF CLASS DROPPED OUT AND EVERYONE HARDLY PASSED. BAD LECTURES & HES A JERK. END OF STORY. HE ALSO THINKS HES SEXY WITH HIS 3 UNBOTTONED TOP BUTTONS OF HIS SHIRT & HIS GOLD CHAIN NECKLACE.

his accent difficult to understand.better than nothing as long as I get easy grade who cares if I don't understand!

Reza Majlesi is extremely rude and condescending to students. He literally makes fun of you if you ask a question. No one asks questions in our class anymore. I'm not learning anything in his lecture, but if I ask a question, I get insulted. Everyone from class is emailing each other, and is prepared to report him for his awful teaching style.

Worse teacher I've had. Never used book in class(use pp) but will need it to study since he skips over a lot of info you will need to understand the material. He missed class couple times but students had to pay b/c he'd start skipping slides so we could catch up. Discourages students to go to medical field unless you are an A student. AVOID!

This is the worst teacher I've ever had. He has no desire to want to teach, he's a Dr. yet never practiced. He's extremely full of him self, he thinks he's so smart and so good looking but really he's just full/of himself. His teaching is awful, you learn nothing from him. Often asks questions on tests before we learn the material. The list goes on

He is the VERY WORST teacher I have ever had! It is obvious that he does not like teaching. He continued to tell our class how he didn't really like us. If you want to learn ANYTHING about Physiology - I beg you - DON'T TAKE FROM HIM!! I had to self-teach the whole semester. He does not teach/test on the big picture, but on minute points. AWFUL!

I strongly discourage students from taking this class if they are looking to learn the subject. The professor seems very disinterested in students success and supporting a learning environment. Obviously phyisiology is not an easy subject; however Majlesi makes it unecessarily difficult. He may be smart, but he fails as an instructor.

The person below couldnt have said it better. Tests are impossible, focusing on the minute while entirely skipping the big picture. PP's are incomprehensible. Labs are useless. I have always been an A student and despite all my studying, I could not manage a good grade. Smart guy but puts no effort or passion into teaching. Take it with Baily.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!

He does not seem to understand that Anatomy and Micro are NOT prereqs for physio, but teaches as if they are. No amount of studying (completely unguided, btw) will prepare you for the kind of questions he asks on the tests/quizzes and the tests are entirely what he bases the grade on. Very cold, unsupportive learning environment.

Worst professor I've ever had! Doesn't like to teach and it shows. Puts students down and discourages them to medical field. Didn't learn anything from him. Peralta need to rid him!

WORST teacher ever had! Beliitle and discourage students and not helpful at all. Expect you to know micro and physio although not prereqs. Didn't learn from him. Don't waste your semester on this teacher. Will not learn in this class!

He has a strong accent that is difficult to understand. He enjoys making students feels humiliated and actually shared a story of how a female student who had cried from being embarrassed and had written to thanked him later. He actually keeps a file of emails student who actually thanked him, obviously from feeling insecure.

He will not go over missed answers. The exam are recycled multiple choice questions. The lab exam images are so fuzzy and he obviously doesn't care. One arrogant teacher who made himself uglier even though he was not too bad looking. Imagine if he's taller. Physiology is not that tough like all subject if taken from a teacher who cares.

I beg you not to take this class from this instructor. With his difficult accent it is very hard to follow the lecture especially when he will not write new vocab words on the board. You will learn nothing in this class. This teacher just wasn't meant to teach. Absolute worst instructor I have ever had. 75% of the class dropped.

Let me give everyone an example of how unapproachable this teacher is. I once went up to ask him a question in lab, while listening to me he had a total digusted look on his face while he looked me up and down in apparent disgust because I came to class dressed a bit frumpy and am overweight.Poor excuse of a teacher! My name is Angela Rollisson.

I took his class 3 years ago & still feel angry about it! He was the very worst teacher I've ever had - I learned basically nothing from his class. I ended up having to teach myself because he spent class time talking about how we would never make it as nurses. All other classes, I got A's - him C. Now in a MSN prog - & am rockin'. No thx 2 RM

Don't take his hybrid course because you need the convenience of watching lectures on your own time. It is so frustrating listening to his lectures because he doesn't know how to explain things in a concise manner, and the lectures are constantly disrupted by the phone, a student knocking on his door, or his dog.

His communication skills are poor, and his exams are so hard that he must grade on a curve or else most of the class would fail. The most annoying thing about him is that he's very disorganized and he doesn't let students to see their exam answers unless they go to his office. He does it that way b/c he doesn't want anyone to dispute test questions

His hybrid class is horrible. His question's on the test are worded poorly. He responds to email very late. I do not reccomend him.

The worse/HARDEST teacher in my college career.I study my butt off for his his test & nothing of what he lectures is on his exams. He let us use a page of notes and even then I still could not get above a D. Mind you I have a 3.6 GPA. There’s a few getting an A, Well they must be some kind of prodigy. Average test score 70% AVOID this class!!!!!

Do no take Nutrition with Reza.Terrible. Unprofessional. Is the dean of sciences and sets a low bar. Doesn't show up to class meets, never returns emails and is condescending. Clearly not passionate about education.

Horrid teacher! He is unclear, uninterested. Shows up late to office hours or forgets about your appointment completely. He is highly unprofessional. By far the worst teacher I have ever had in my life! I had to file a complaint against him! He even brought up my ethnicity and how he felt sorry for me because I am mexican! He will ruin your career!

This teacher is HORRIBLE. He is condescending, unresponsive, non-communicative, and down-right immature. The class lacked any clarity or focus, and I don't think he looks at submitted assignments other than to ensure that they were on time. The tests were poorly constructed, and the book was pedestrian. I will never take his class again.

This is one of those teachers with major ego issues. Extremely condescending. Does not want to teach, and it shows. The class was simple, but heaven help you if you should have the gall to ask a question. He simply does not have the time or patience to help students. He does not deserve his job. I am an excellent student & rarely make bad reviews

A horrible teacher. Does not teach you the same material as what is on his Exams. He gives you a really hard time to see what you did wrong on your Exams, and if you ask him any questions he gets hostile, rude and mean. STAY AWAY!

He was difficult to understand and obviously I need to understand you its a ONLINE class.

Worst Professor Ive ever had! The test material is like looking at foreign language, it does not coincide with the study guides, the questions are designed for failure. When you ask for help he says come to his office hours or meet with him at a specific time and he doesnt show. He will respond to your emails a week later. Dont take his class!

I wish I'd listened to other reviewers and not wasted my time on this prof. The lectures have basic info but the tests have Q's that you'd have to know way more about the topic to infer the answer. He is very unclear but gets angry when people ask questions. He's flat out rude when people answer incorrectly. Doesn't care about student's learning.

To call Reza a teacher or professor is an insult to the profession. -Lectures unorganized; difficult to follow train of thought -Exams on material outside scope of lectures -Rude and condescending to students especially when asked a question or got ANYTHING wrong -When a student asked a ? he literally answered "ehh, I'm not going to answer"

Many mistakes on tests, including spelling and grammar, sometimes making it hard to know what he was getting at. Lectures disorganized. Condescending in communication style. Bio book assigned is good. Overall, seems very lazy with teaching.

I would not recommend this class to my worst enemy. lectures are unclear and outdated. no good at explaining concepts and content for an introduction course. not helpful when issues arise. he makes your feel dumb for asking questions. tests are not related to lecture. inconsistent grading, says will give you credit but then doesn't. worst professor

The Problem is taped on Moodle and it is hard to hear and understand. The exam don't even touch the notes. So confusing.

Lecture was unclear and unorganized. Grades will be based only on for exams. No extra credit offered. Half of the class dropped after the first exam.

one of the worst classes I have ever taken. the tests had nothing to do with the powerpoints or lectures. i took the hybrid class and you couldn't even understand his lectures posted online since he's using a software from ages ago.

I just graduated from Ohlone as an RN. I failed this class 4 years back and honestly it still haunts me. This professor should absolutely be fired. He was so stuck up that he would actually look me up and down in disgust and his lectures were like we were planning on going to med school. Totally pointless for nursing!

The class I had was a hybrid (online lecture, in-class lab with another instructor). He is: condescending, not helpful, may or may not reply to email, exam dates are from last year, lecture does not reflect lab, it appears he also does not communicate with the lab instructor. Online lecture is poor, there are drop outs and it feels disorganized.

I was very disappointed to drop Bio4 even I studied before in other country . I think I can't get a A from his Bio 10 class even every point is easy to me. This prof never follow the schedule , always forget the date of quiz, never answer the questions clearly, teach a lot of points beyond the test book in both Bio 10 and Bio 4. Dont recommend!

Majlezi is sarcastic, and cocky. He belittles students who ask questions, but then is visibly frustrated and agitated when no one speaks up. Instead of explaining concepts, he spends his time moaning that we don't know already know the concepts. Guess what? Sometimes students need a quick refresher on the basics. Stop whining and start teaching.

He wasnt clear about anything. It was also difficult to talk to him about the class. Whatever was on the study guides and powerpoints werent even on the tests. Too much information. I advise no one to take this class! Awful.

He doesn't seem to be a very engaged teacher. He's very stern and I don't feel that teacher student bond. The class was great, but I wouldn't take another class by him or recommend it to anymore. Professor you can still redeem yourself and become the best that we know you can be. Use the comments here for improvement not hatred. Thank you prof.

Reza is difficult to reach and disorganized. Seems to have no passion for teaching. Exams are long, 60-80 questions, 1 minute per question, and have many errors. I enjoy nutrition and the flexibility of online courses, however, Reza's lack of communication and dependence on the textbook has made this course unenjoyable for me. Avoid if you can.

Very critical and arrogant. If you ask the wrong question or answer it incorrectly, he makes you feel stupid. Tests are worded completely different from what he presents in lecture. Gives you 1 minute per question on the exams and the questions are difficult to understand. Feels like you are taking a speed test and the questions are full of errors.

Feels like this guy is the president and he's guarding the Manhattan Project or something, because you simply CANNOT reach him. A very easy class made difficult - undoable - only by him. Errors everywhere. Condescending. Pointlessly and unfairly grades harder than I was marked at UC Berkeley but without the teaching skill, and doubly arrogant.

Pr. Majlesi is very difficult. His lectures are unorganized and are difficult to learn from. His exams have minuscule details as questions and lab exams often covered material not mentioned on the study guide. His attitude is condiscending and it feels like he wants you to fail. I have been able to get Bs in other science courses but not here!

Reza's lectures/slides are unorganized and he pays so much attention to small details. Unless you watch his lectures religiously, good luck hun. When I attend his office hours to go over the test he doesnt even bother explaining to me why I got it wrong. He's intelligent but is notorious for his lack of consideration for his students, and it shows.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! No textbook needed b/c he uploads his lectures but his exams are sooo meticulous. Unless you memorize every single detail from his lectures, you will not pass. He always "encourages" class engagement but will make you feel dumb for answering wrong. He also takes FOREVER to respond to emails! Don't risk your GPA w/ this class!

This professor is unreachable. You cant contact him at all.

Dr. Majlesi is the worst professor I have ever taken. Just finished a Bachelor's in Bio so I thought this class would be fun. He did not respond to emails he didn't want to address, was rude in office hours, did not curve the class, and his exams frequently had Low C's as the average. He did not want to see students succeed.

PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE TAKING THIS CLASS ! if you want an A in this class don't take this professor. He does zoom lectures when he feels like it, he thinks everyone has the same time he does. In his zoom lectures he would compare immigrants to cells and the cell membrane to a Mexican border. He gets frustrated easily, no extra credit...

He is a disgruntled physician from Iran. He hates his teaching job and is very unprofessional (mean) to students that participate. As a person with 3 degrees, this is only the second C I have ever received. He does not teach what he tests on and does not help at all with the lab portion of the class. Now he is running for a position in San Ramon.

Usually the first day of class professors are nice and caring when introducing himself but THIS GUY straight up YELLED at his students for asking questions on clarification. Like seriously? How can you be so rude on the first day .... Anyways already wanted to drop the course but didn't because I needed this for pre-req and too late to sign up

I took both anatomy and physiology with this professor in different semesters and in both classes he was rude to students, incredibly unaccommodating, and tested on things he never taught us or told us that we needed to know. The labs for this class also left me knowing nothing. He also uses Honorlock which has proved difficult for himself. 0/5

God this guy is impossible to contact and will never respond to emails. The exams all use Honorlock, which is unnecessarily complicated (and kind of a privacy violation). He is extremely strict with due dates and will never accept late work, yet he takes literal months to even think about grading assignments. Don't sign up for his classes.

Professor Majlesi yelled at his students nearly every lecture. In the first class he yelled at students to turn their cameras on and called you out if you didn't. He yelled at his students that wanted clarification on things, stating that "now is not the time for questions". Exams aren't on material covered in class.

This prof puts in no time... Do NOT take his class. I ignored other peoples' posts. He does not guide his students as far as how to connect concepts. He was never in office hours, no communication, syllabus terribly organized. Physio is hard but also AMAZING, so take it with a more committed professor and don't memorize concepts, understand them

Very bad experience. Very hard on students and very strict. Do not recommend him at all
