This guy is really boring, but very clear, and posts all of the notes online. You don't need the textbook, but it can be very useful as a reference for additional examples. This guy honestly spends half the class doing examples, so his lectures are really boring, but by the end, whatever point he's trying to get across is really clear.

He is incredibly clear in his lectures. He is aware of his habitual use of the word okay and appears to be trying to improve on that. He's a pretty nice guy. Those complaining about his use of the word okay are just looking for things to complain about imo

Prof is a genuinely nice guy; I had to get one of my exams deferred, and he was very accommodating/understanding. Personally I found the class to be AMAZINGLY BORING, but it was also quite easy (which I really appreciate!); do the work and you'll get a great mark. Textbook is a must (and super thin, thank God!)

This prof is the best prof you will ever have in this university. I always had a great time in class, and was always laughing thanks to Sardar. I love this man, and I will work hard to have him again for business ethics. He always kept the classes interesting. He is fire 10/10 would recommend. If you don't choose Sardar then why are you here?

Might be hard to understand in class sometimes, but he'll explain things until we get it. The tests are easy because he uses the questions we do in class as questions on the tests. Really straighforward. I have a really good mark.

Great prof! He's thorough in explanation and takes his time to go over homework questions in class. He also lets students out of class pretty early - usually at the one hour mark. If you do not show up to class and do not do your homework, chances are you won't get a good grade in his class.

I really enjoyed him as a prof! He gives many hints for the content of the midterms and finals. He is very willing to meet with students, and he is also very willing to regrade exams if you go see him. Do your readings though since he bases some questions right out of the readings. He is a prof that actually cares about his students which is GREAT!

Solid choice for bioethics, yes his midterms are hard but he gives good lectures and provides good slides. contrary to what others are saying his slides are very clear and contain all the necessary information. One typo here and there isn't a big deal imo

Very caring and understanding towards his students. Teaches a lot of relevant and important material! Make sure to do readings, and avoid skipping classes because he tells you what to expect on midterms and final.

Awesome prof, funny guy. Genuinely cares about students and their success. Review the powerpoints, reading pretty optional. Test questions are clear for the most part.

Great prof

GREAT PROF! If you actually put an effort into learning the material you will leave with a new, useful perspective on ethical issues and a good mark! Slides contain all the info you need, so don't actually need to do the readings. He is very clear in his teaching and puts effort into his work. He is VERY helpful during office hours! RECOMMEND!

While his lectures aren't the most exciting, his slides are clear and he often lets us out early which is very appreciated. Actually doing the exercises in the books can prove to be quite helpful.

Professor Hosseini cares a lot about his students and he wants us to do well. His style of teaching is clear and concise; the hardest concepts I was able to understand with ease. You have to come to class if you are struggling with the material, especially the classes where we do practice questions! He tries to make the class entertaining! bestprof

Best prof I've ever mat, accessible for 1 on 1 discussions in his office, works extra hours to ease the course on you.

This teacher cares about his students. It is only necessary to go to the lectures for Chapters 4 and 5. However, I would recommend attending most of the classes where he takes up homework. Doing the practice questions for this class will almost guarantee you an A. Midterms are based directly off the practice questions.

He explained the material well in class. He welcomed questions and made sure that you understand the concept you are asking about before moving on. Phi is not an easy course though so expect the class to be fairly hard. He gave only three tests during the term which I found good. The tests were fair, he was approachable and I would take him again.

An awesome prof, available most of times for feedback, helpful and knowledgeable; recommended...

Prof Sardar wiped away my fears upon next feedback-meeting, easy going and very inspirational....

Good prof! Answers well questions. Adds extra info outside powerpoint.

Mr. Hosseini is very level-headed and knows what he expects of you. As long as you offer him what he wants, you will have a good grade. The concepts in the course are easy enough to get a grasp of as long as you do the exercises in the textbook.

These comments are confusing tbh. Anything on the exam was thoroughly covered in lecture. i find him to be quite nice and enthusiastic. yes the slides are loaded but he basically summarizes the text for you. Would love to take a PHI class with him again. I would warn that the TA marks a little tough but thats about it. shes cool tho shoutout shelb

I can't believe people complain about him, I've realized that the ones who do, simply just don't work hard and constantly whine. All my other courses were proctored, but you get a whole day to write this exam and ITS OPEN BOOK. If you failed this class, that's 100% on your end of the line, it's not right to blame someone else for your own L.

Prof is really respectful and insightful. Puts a lot of efforts into his examples and ensures that everyone understands the course material. G.O.A.T.

The class wasn't that bad, but I took Philosophy in high school so I had a background - had I not I would've been much more confused. Prof was pretty nice and answered everyone's questions. There were 2 tests and a final, all open book.

Mr sardar was available most of the time to meet in his office on a very short notice and provided lots of support.

I don't understand all the hate. He truly does his best to help his students understand allowing them to interrupt at any point to ask questions. For some that find this class to be more difficult, repetition of exercise will be the key. That being said any confusion will be covered should u decide to ask him about it. He cares, grade depends on U.

The prof does his best to answer all students and make sure they understand the material. His exams cover what's covered in the lectures.

Sardar is a very caring professor. For example, he took over an hour out of his Saturday night on thanksgiving weekend to answer all of our questions regarding an exam we had the upcoming Tuesday. He does have a monotone voice and tends to over explain things. But if you read the textbook, do the exercises, and make the best of it, you'll do well. 

Overall I find him to be alright I mean he is surely not engaging or creative when lecturing, but by all means, he is not somebody who just reads off the powerpoint slides. He is pretty responsive to students' questions during lectures. So long as you go through his lecture recordings, B is easy to get

Very clear explanations, one of my fav profs of the semester. would recommend!

Critical thinking: arguments with basic math equations were not my strong suit to begin with. It took me until the end of the semester to understand that the teacher purposefully says wrong answers in order to give his students a chance to correct him. This is a teaching method that I wish I had understood at the beginning!

Everyone on here who took PHI2170 with Hosseini says he's bad but Logic I is just a really difficult course regardless of the prof. I didn't do super well in it because I found it hard but Hosseini was always really nice and wanted his students to do well. He would take the time to explain things that were hard to understand. His marking wasn't bad

He is a great professor. Sometimes he is very funny. He cares about his students, their studies and well-being. Logic is a hard subject matter. He does his best to make it accessible to students. He is always available either after class or in his office. I would definitely take more courses with him.

He is a caring professor. He takes the time to explain the materials. Logic is a hard subject. So, you should expect that the course is not an easy one. But he makes it much easier. I will definitely recommend him. I have already registered to take PHI2170 with him in the Winter.

Dr. Hosseini is a good teacher. His slides are clear and contain lots of exercises. His exams are easy. It is true that he does not provide any answer key, but if you ask him to review your test and give feedback, he is always available.

He works hard and tries his best to convey the content to the students. He also provides the students with the exact format of the exams. If you need extra help, I suggest that you talk to him. He is always available.

I loved this course, really easy content. It was structured like a grade 9 math class, content was new but very easy to understand. He tells you exactly what will be on the exam, and most of the time they were questions from the textbook. If you do the textbook questions, you will succeed. Professor Hosseini was really kind and funny. Good prof.

He made this course very easy to pass, and he will tell you clearly what are on the test, but his lecture boring af. I studied by myself like every 2 hours before test and still got a B+, thanks for making the test so easy.

The course itself was pretty rough and a lot of people had a hard time grasping the material, but as a prof he was really good and helpful and you got to know him even though it's a big class

Logic I is a very difficult course. It is formal logic for philosophy students. Dr. S. Hosseini is an engaging teacher; he works hard and is always available. Not only we had discussion groups on zoom but also smaller discussions groups in his office in which we reviewed the materials and excericses done in class.

It was a very good course. Professor Hosseini was a very good teacher. Explained difficult concept and made me understand. He is also very funny, and once he told us a hilarious joke. I recommend him to other students.

Professor Hosseini is enthusiastic. He really cares about his students and their well-beings. However, he rushes a bit. I understand that he has to cover lots of chapters, long chapters on both propositional logic and predicate logic, but I wish the course covered a bit less.

I took moral reasoning with him. He is very knowledgeable and delivers the lecture effectively. He explained difficult concepts very clearly. The midterm exams were easy and fair.

His lecture slides are filled with lots of important information, but he delivers it all in a clear and well understandable way. His tests are on main concepts and large articles so if you read and know those you will do fine. He is a fair grader and sticks to his grading criteria completely.

I LOVE THIS PROF he is so nice! I took PHI 1101 as my only elective this winter and he teaches really well. I know a lot of the other students are struggling but as long as you pay attention in class, ask your questions, and do the homework, you'll be completely fine. He does care about the students and he's willing to help if you don't understand.

Dr. Hosseini is overall very knowledgeable and explains material in a super clear way. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the midterm so there's never any surprises but the midterms are pretty content heavy. He's easy to talk to and very nice but I wish he would have given more than just 2 midterms with 30pts worth 30%.

He's a good professor and his slides have all the content on them but there is a lot of information them so you must read them carefully. His tests require a lot of writing so you need to be writing at all the time but his questions are pretty simple and broad. He also gives hints and information before so you will know what is on the test.

Good guy, good class. You'll only need to memorize how logic works and you can do well. Certainly need to do the readings and practice questions to prepare for tests. If you do that you can probably attain an A range grade with relative ease.

Sardar is a great prof! I never did any readings (oops) because he is so clear and straight forward. Like will literally tell you what the exam will ask you. He is more than happy to help outside of class (can be a bit mean lol but its okay). Compared to other bioethics prof, he's a lot more intense but if you go to class you should be good.

This course wasn't terribly difficult to begin with, but the sheer amount of textbook examples this professor used throughout the lectures made the exams quite easy. I paid attention in class, barely did the homework, and did fine. He tends to ramble from time to time, but outside of that his teaching is effective. Easy A if you attend class.

He's a bit of a talker, tends to ramble so classes can quickly become boring. You do not need to go to every class, exam is taken directly from the slides. There are assigned readings, but never read any of them and never found anything on the exam that we didn't talk about in class. He's also pretty good at letting you know what's on the exams/

Boring lectures. Useless slides. Easy test if you read the textbook, but you won't know where you did wrong because there's no answer key. Absolutely no feedback on exams.

Professor Hosseini can seem intimidating as a first year prof but as the course goes on the content gets a lot easier to understand! Exams and finals have essays with topics he gives you before so you can study them thoroughly. You'll do good in this class if you show up and participate!

Professor Hosseini runs a well-structured class. While the content can be challenging, engaging with the material and using tools like unstuck ai can really help. Overall, a fair and rewarding experience.

This professor is one of the few who cares about his students. If you attend the classes, the course will be straight forward. He makes clear what to study. Overall he's a great professor; take advantage. Thank you Mr. Goat

HE'S SO FUNNY I LOVED HIS CLASS. He used real-life examples to explain concepts and joked around, which made it fun. Chapters 5&6 were super tough and could use more time so you have to practice on those, but overall, he made philosophy fun for someone who didn't think they'd like it. He copies and pastes the practice problems onto the exam

Clear he's been teaching PHI for a long time. He is funny and has lots of student participation. Lots of reading but would call it very optional. Graded by few things but weights are small ish on the few tasks (no 40, 50% exams). Would take my next class with him.

This professor is honestly not as bad as the ratings. I still HATED this class, but I would ask questions and he would always answer them, no matter how long his stories took him to get there. He is good with office hours and accommodated me even though I couldn't make his set times. I just did the work, asked questions, and tried. Boom, an A.

He genuinely cares about his students, and it shows in the way he teaches and interacts with us. His class changed many of my perspectives, and if I had the chance, I would take it again in a heartbeat. He never forces his views on us but presents every concept and philosopher equally, allowing us to form our own opinions.

Not a fan of the subject, but the Professor's lectures are interesting, and he goes over homework answers in class. If you listen in class and do your readings, exams are a breeze. He gives students the format of each exam, which includes the type of questions asked and what topics. He is also very nice and will review an exam and re-grade it.

Easy test, multiple choice was so easy and as long as you read the first three lectures the essay part was a breeze. YES, 1200 words in that time frame is insane but even if the essay is good then you should get a good grade.

Lots of these comments are negative but he is willing to help if you ask him for help. he is also willing to adjust grades if asked to review. he tells us clearly what's on the test. he is a chill guy if you show him you care but if you dont ask him for help dont expect help. I had a midterm with him today and was surprised how he makes things easy

Very respectable man who knows what he's doing

Prof H. is not a spiteful or mean person, and the negative ratings he's gotten do not reflect him. It is reading-heavy, but the slides average 24ish slides and half of them aren't loaded with information. The topics are simple and he is clear about what is on each midterm. The people complaining just refused to listen and put in any work to review.

He's very passionate about philosophy and funny. States clearly that if you do the textbook questions then you will be able to pass, the tests reflect the exercises in the textbook and if you have practiced them then you will do well. I have not been to office hours but he has stated multiple times that if you are struggling he is happy to help.

The prof did a great job explaining concepts and the midterms were extremely fair and covered what was taught. I will say, going to every lecture is extremely important since reading the slides at home does not seem to cover what is taught in person. There are extra readings but I don't think they were super necessary if you went to the lectures.

The prof tells you what to study for the exam and the tests. It's still difficult, but it helps.

very lecture heavy, definitely worth attending classes if you want to do well. lectures were boring at times, just imagine it as like a podcast in the background while you're doing something else. he would sometimes engage in debates w the class. final exam's doable if you know the content and he states the essay topics prior
