He scared me at first. But I like him after I attended more letcures.

I was intimidated at first but you come to really like the guy.He LOVES Physics!

This man loves his physics! So intense, but so good.... WHAT IS FORCE!?!&#6

A lot of fun. He WANTS you to learn and understand his passion, PHYSICS!

Great Prof! Enthusiastic and cares for his students! Full of energy and knowledge. Might be a little hard to understand but is still one of the best proffs at Mac :)

This dude would tower above all profs if he was not ESL. His enthusiasm is contagious. He loves to teach. Don’t be scared of his interactive style. Once you realize there is no shame in not knowing the answers to one of his on-the-spot questions, you

Dr. Nejat is great! He makes difficult concepts easy to understand. He loves to teach and it helps you learn more.

Extremely enthusiastic, interacts with the class and explains concepts better than any prof I've had. He taught us differential equations so well we asked him to come teach our math class! Best prof ever!

He totally reminds me of Saddam Hussain...in a good way. For the first time ever, I dont sleep in Physics class....he really sticks his face in yours to get an answer...makes you think

Please class, have a discussion, I've never been picked on so much in a class in my life. Although he's really smart, he needs to understand that we're really not.

Not only did he explain the physics really well, he also taught us the necessary math months before we learned it in our math class, and did a better job of it than the math prof. He absolutely loves to talk to students (for hours if you go to his office)

It might seem like he's picking on you when he singles you out, but don't take it personally - he just wants to get everyone involved. Very effective as a teacher. Taking his class even helped with understanding other classes.

He's a love or hate kinda guy, and I think he's great. Got me to understand and appreciate basic physics much more thoroughly than in high school. And he's really helpful if you want a recommendation letter or some extra help. Volunteer in class, too.

Very good prof. He gets the class involved in most of his lectures and is very helpful if you don't understand something. He also cares for his students, one example is he changed a test date because he knew that we had 4 other tests in that week.

Very good prof. Tries to help poor students in spite of them clearly not having read material. His lectures highlight the shortcomings of only understanding application. Very helpful as he shows hidden relationships in physics. Underappreciated because majority of his students are stupid and lazy.

If you are not very good at physics, he is the guy for you! He makes you understand! But if you do have some insight into physics, you might get bored in his lectures!

He is just great

An awesome prof. Very understanding and encouraging. Tries to help poor students in spite of them clearly not having read material. Underappreciated many of his students

Best Physics prof!

Animated teaching style and frequent class interaction definately keep your attention focused on the material. Goes out of his way to explain things for the art students who mistakenly applied to science. <evilgrin>

fantastic instructor a fan favorite but also serious at the same time. He will help no matter what he is doing at the time but also brings the material to life. He points and asks people questions but that is to get people involved and never done with malice. Best class I have had at mac and best prof.

Communicates ideas very well, with a lot of useful analogies. Tests are reasonable. Very nice to students, he printed about 30 pgs of notes for not being able to find it on the website.

The proboblity of Lyowder!

Dr Nejat is awesome! I never really like physics, but he made it interesting, fun and easy enough for me to take both semesters! He's so kind, and really cares about students. He makes university courses feel like high school again - class interaction and compassion for students! "Please turn off your cell phones, nobody wants to dance now!"

A good prof, definitely keeps you paying attention otherwise he will ask you a question. One of the few classes that I liked.

I absolutely love this guy. He's such a little cute old man with the funniest accent ever. He likes to single people out so sit in the front to avoid be asked questions. Rather than lecturing he prefers to lead class discussions which is very helpful. If you go to his office hours he is very helpful, he helped me the day of the exam and I did super

Best professor at McMaster. I got an A- in his class and most of the credit goes to his friendly teaching skills. His demeanor is very simple and that makes it really easy to approach him. He helps students a lot, makes photocopies of exercise sheets for students, post solutions promptly, has a clear voice and very interactive.

Quite simply he is just my favorite professor this semester.

Funny dude, fully did a pendulum trial in class and nearly got knocked down by the flying pendulum. Picks on random people in class, and gets disappointed if low test avg for his class. Do your work every night and he'll be impressed!

Great Prof. Has high expectations of students, but does everything imaginable to help you attain his high standards. Extremely approachable and helpful, good sense of humor and friendly. Highly suggest taking his classes. A+ for Nejat

I love him! "GO AHEAD!!" "Hello guys!"

A very enthusiastic and caring professor. Assignments are helpful, tests challenging, exam quite easy. I think more focus on assigning selected homework problems rather than "just do the ones in your book" would have been helpful. He really loves his students and loves teaching.

Great professor, funny guy, and loves his students.

Good prof. loves to grab students out of the audience to answer questions. some accent difficulties. slight organizational issues with regards to capa

Had him for engphy 2d03. He made it hard and interesting at the same time. Really enjoys forcing you to think

Nice guy, funny, engages the students and does his best to make it easy without insulting your intelligence. My favorite prof this semester :)

He is very interesting and funny.

I am not a fan of phsyics at all..in fact i hate it but this prof made me actually want to come to class and learn it..hes good at what he does and his tests are fair!

very attentive.. realizes that in this course most people either hate or have trouble with physics so he tries and effectively makes the class interesting... 'oh that's a good one!'

Nejat's a champ

He was a good prof! He def loves teaching n wants his students to get the best. I took physics 1L03 n got a good mark in his class :) He is very help, although indeed he does speak funny and unclear sometimes

Very helpful! Love him! I think he is the a very responsible prof.

Dr. Nejat gets a lot of flak, but I think most of that is misplaced frustration with the course itself. Physics is not easy by any stretch of the imagination, and it takes a lot of self-directed learning to get a good mark in this class. That being said, Dr. Nejat is always willing to help, and does his best to clarify even the most trivial issues.

Very helpful

Amazing Prof! He loves to engage the class and picks on people but it enhances the classes learning! The best physics prof hands down! Definitely recommended as he prepares you the most for the brutal midterm and exam!

his mustache gives you a better understanding of Newton's laws.

Never met a professor like him. Coming to uni, I had some difficulties and he changed my opinion of what it means to be taught by someone who cares. He has the biggest heart, and has been almost a father figure to me. Always willing to help, he will go the extra mile to make sure you understand, and does anything he can to help--with anything.

Very caring professor who genuinely cares for his students to do well in the course

Hi All (C05, C06) Nejat was my favourite prof in first year. He was always so caring and so genuine, and so helpful in office hours. I'm honestly going to miss sitting in ABB 102 and having Nejat teach me physics. Even though the course was hard, he did a great job. Bottom line, he's an awesome professor and an even better human being. OK!

Really knows what he's talking about, and really loves teaching. I looked forward to going to class.

"Draw Free Body Diagram", "Next by you" are only a few of his catchphrases that I will miss from this class. He really engages the students and tries to make the lectures funny and less intimidating. Enter his class you would not only learn physics but just life in general. Awesome prof. Try to have physics class with him as much as possible.

Great professor. Lectures are hilarious and usefull. Test are quite tough, but if you do the wrong, they're not impossible. 10/10 would take a class with him anyday

His accent and very interactive teaching style take some time to get used to, but you can tell he wants you to succeed in his class. Labs were meh.....

I go everyday to watch him say the words "and the rest is math"

Given the complex nature of the nuclear physics, his explanations were very clear but missing depth. Nejat is an amazing professor and a human; very friendly, doesn't try to avoid you, and reasonable. I respect him a lot.

Dr. Nejat is an incredible professor. He is inspiring not only for physics but also for life and dreams.

Great prof! His classes are quite entertaining and engaging. You won't ever dreadfully stare at a clock waiting for his class to be over. He's funny, passionate about physics, and good at explaining concepts. He picks on people to answer questions so be prepared for that!! It's great that he does that, makes you pay attention.

"Find your knowns, find your unknows, the rest is math, and do you want a microphone?" are what you're gonna hear from Dr. Nejat. Dr. Nejat is easily the best physics a prof a student can have who really cares with all his heart that we learn and do well in exams. Really accessible outside class and appreciates it when someone works hard.

Physics 1E03 : Introduction to life choices and lessons xD. Honestly Nejat is one of the best profs you can have for year one Engineering.

Nejat was a legendary prof to have his random in-class pop quizzes kept everyone on their toes, but you could tell that he really did care that his students succeed and inspired us to a high standard.

Professor Nejat is the cornerstone of the physics department. He loves the subject and really wants his students to succeed. However, his classes are by no means easy. You have to definitely be willing to put in work to do well. He expects you to read ahead and do homework that in addition to the labs and Loncapa take up a lot of time.

Dr. Nejat's lecture is dynamic. He is always patient to answer your questions.

Super amazing prof. Very patient and gives engaging classes. There is no class where you feel tired and want to sleep. He always keeps you on your toes and genuinely wants you to succeed. Overall amazing prof and would recommend to all. Nejatty Daddi for life

Nejat the GOAT

Best physics prof at mac

He's a great professor who knows how the students think and genuinely cares for our success. He's also very quirky but it helps keep the students engaged, I always look forward to his classes.

He knows how to teach you so you understand the concept but the tests are hard

One of the most amazing professors at McMaster I have ever had

A nice and caring prof who actually wants his students to learn. He can be quirky sometimes when students get picked on by him during lecture. Make sure you pay detailed attention during lecture!

Dr. Nejat is the prof who really teaches something in class instead of reading lecture slides. There always be a 'check list'. "Will I test you on this question? Yes! Will I give any assistance? No!" He said that phones should be turned off in class but never blame someone whose phone rang. "Nobody wants to dance." LONCAPA can be hard. Keep calm.

Dr. Nejat is the funniest guy. He'll absolutely obliterate someone he calls out in lectures, and then calm them down after their spirits are crushed. All in a good way though. He's really big on participation so going to lectures helps. "The rest is math."

My favourite lectures from first year. Very nice and fair. Clearly puts a lot of effort in teaching. Slightly disorganized and makes a lot of typos in slides but will make sure to rectify them. Know your stuff, he will call on you in class and you will need to explain your answer, otherwise you'll lose participation marks

- Lectures are not mandatory but very helpful; he stresses and explains key concepts very thoroughly - Homework questions are very helpful; they are similar difficulty to test questions - Test difficulty is very fair - Labs are time consuming; your experience will depend on your group - Would recommend if you did well and enjoyed 1AO3

He will call on you during class but will never make fun of you if you get it wrong. Really caring prof, the course is managable but not easy by any means. Assignments take several days to complete (for me atleast) but good bonus marks for just showing up to class

His physics class is very hard and has low averages but he tried to give students what they need to succeed. Hes a big believer in understanding instead of just knowing

Hey you! Yes, you! Stand up!

Although this class is notoriously difficult, there is no better professor to teach it than Dr. Nejat. He takes his time to explain thoroughly and you can tell her genuinely cares about his students and what he is teaching. Even though he cold-calls, he never makes fun of you or makes you feel less than. Overall, very caring and inspirational.

The goat himself.

He is amazing

Yes, he calls on random people during his lecture to answer questions (actually kind of like that). Yes, his slides are really old. But somehow I just love this prof. He is the old-fashion type of prof you should expect, you may don't like his way of teaching, but you can't say he is not a good prof.

Great professor, his style really helps students get out of their shell even if it's scary. Results in student preparedness when put on the spot.

He's good at making people participate He's really funny lol Mr. Hat! Mr. Glass! Mr. Red! Mr. Blue!

He is very nice and engaging with the class. The goat

He clearly cares very very much about his students and about physics, but sometimes his lectures are hard to follow along with content -wise despite being engaging and funny.

Nejat cares about his students. His lectures are throughout and clear. Tests were fair and overall I loved the class.

The professor has a unique teaching style, but engaging with it can be rewarding. Lectures may be dense, so supplementing with resources like the Organic Chemistry Tutor and Unstuck AI can be very helpful for study prep.

I had a lot of fun in this course and the lectures were engaging. It was my 8:30 and I was never bored. He does go through slides quickly, but he wants you to get the concepts in class and study them at home. There was a lot of practice for midterms and they were super fair. I loved this prof, he truly cares about people and it shows.

Good explanations and always likes to make sure students understand materials before moving on.
