I found it hard to understand his accent. He was unclear in his teaching methods. He made you feel inferior if you asked him a question. I don't reccommend him.

This was the worst professor I have ever had. I would recommend NOT taking him. He's very rude, does not pay any attention to you or your needs, nor does he seem like he even cares. I will never take him again. He's also very strict and not a good teacher AT ALL

HE IS EXTREMELY HARD. VERY SMART IN HIS FIELD, KNOWS HIS STUFF. BUT I JUST COULDN'T GET ANYTHING IN THE CLASS. TERRIBLE JOB ASSIGNING HOMEWORK. JUST PICKS A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS, DOES NOT LOOK OVER TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT WASTING OUR TIMES ON PROBLEMS THAT WILL NOT BE ON TEST. TEN QUESTION TESTS. MUST NOT MISS ONE IF WANT TO GET AN A ON TEST. AVOID

Smart professor but if you struggle with math, I do not recommend him.

There were only 3 tests and the rest was based on how you did on mymathlab. Gave WAY too many questions for the lab. Blamed the class for being behind when he cancelled a test 3 times.

Dr Kermani is quite difficult to approach with questions. Lots of assignments on MyMathLab, that dont always line up with the material taught in class. The sample tests he provides are helpful but considerably easier than the actual tests. Do good in this class early on, or you wont be able to recover.

For all you Wii sports fans, if he was a golf score he'd be a triple bogey. His tests always were way harder than the material he presented. After quarantine, he put little to no effort into the class. We had no final review and the bare minimum for the last two chapters. He was decent before the quarantine, but absolutely horrible after.

He's rather rude and when it comes to answering student's questions he tends to go astray rather than giving a direct response. He's not good at being accessible through e-mail when it's important. He's a tough grader and will question everything even though he states to show your work. No one in my class seemed to care for him or his teachings.

Professor Kermani is very rude in the way he responds to students emails. He does not take the time to explain, but rather gets annoyed. He expects you to learn things no other diff eq class sees. Tests are toughly graded. He acknowledges there are other ways to learn the material, but you better do it his way or you get points off.

I took him for Calc 3. Tests were often but were usually pretty easy. For most tests there wasn't ANY feedback and the best you could get was a red x. He refused to move online tests. So watch out because he doesn't ask for availability. He rarely communicates with students and would sometimes only remind students of a test the night before thetest

Please do not take this professor. He is by far the worst professor I have ever had for any class. He is not helpful and very condescending. I had to pay a tutor just to learn what was going on because his notes are not clear and like I said he is not helpful. Math is my strong suit and I still struggled tremendously. Save yourself the stress.

Do not take this professor. 3 tests and the final exam are worth 85% of your grade. He grades extremely tough on tests. He does not care if you get the right answer if you do not show your work exactly how he wants it. You can't do your work how MyMathLab teaches it. The examples he teaches are way easier than hw. Some hw questions he doesnt teach

Dr. Kermani teaches topics amazingly. However, this does not at all make up for his purposful overly hard tests and obsessive amounts of homework. He takes questions about his grading personally. He admitted to making tests even harder after moving to online because of the pandemic. Saw a lot of people fail who didn't deserve to. Find someone else.

Had Dr. Kermani for Calclus 2 back in the Spring of 2020. His class was unnecessarily hard. He did teach well, but he was very cocky about his teaching style and complained about how other classes are easier than his. You have to get above 60% on his final or you won't pass even if you have an A in the class. Average for the final was barely a 60%

He is harsh with grading if it's not done exactly his way. The course is very test heavy. There is a lot of homework but it only weighs a little compared to the tests. Notes are blurry and hard to read. He announces tests and times a few days before the test and test you that you can't reschedule them because you didn't tell him a week before.

I've had him for three classes at this point and trust me, if there were options I wouldn't be taking him still. He takes everything so personally and doesn't know how to leave students alone. His classes are always test heavy so if you plan on passing score high early. If you can hold off taking calc/DE then do it so you can have a good teacher.

Kermani is as rough as it gets for classes. While he gives videos on how to do the questions, they aren't the same as the ones on MML. MML is a lot easier than his actual tests. Tests are extremely weighted, 85% of your grade is from tests alone. Don't bother emailing him either as he will condescending towards you. Just avoid him at all costs!

Kermani is extremely rough when it comes to tests. He complains about tests that have busy work and then puts as much busy work as he can on a test. He includes ridiculous problems that are much more complex than the problems he does in class or on the homework (Keep in mind the homework is hard). You'll have to study really really really hard.

Avoid at all costs. Professor announces tests 15 minutes before test time. He wants students to fail and its obvious. His tests have less than 5 questions and if a single value is wrong, he marks the entire question wrong. No partial credit and hard grader. He also forgets to posts tests so students sit around for 2 hours. Tests are Sunday nights.

I've had some pretty bad profs over the past two years, but this guy takes the cake. Two arbitrarily-chosen tests hold half of your entire grade. The way he grades and his attitude are atrocious. The Final had 7 problems. I submitted 5 correct answers (with work) and was given a score of 4/70. He hates his students. Avoid at all costs.

Professor Kermani is the worst professor I have ever had. If he is the only one left when signing up for classes just wait until next semester. You will have a passing grade at the withdrawal date and then he grades the final two test (65% of your grade) extremely unfairly. He failed 90% of my class. He simply should not be a professor.

I came on Rate My Professor and saw that this teacher had mediocre reviews, so I thought that it would not be to big of a deal. What I failed to realize, all too late, was that the majority of good reviews this professor has gotten were from many years ago, before the pandemic. His online classes are miserable. Do not recommend in the slightest.

My friend and I both took his class at the same time. If my work was wrong but my answer was right Kermani would mark off an insane amount of points, if my friend made the same mistakes hardly any points would be marked off. Sometimes the the points would be switched. My point is, Kermani makes up grades as he goes, take a different teacher.

Extremely passive aggressive. First exam was so horrible that I decided to drop. Only 5 questions, one of them impossible because it was misprinted. You can't use the same techniques more than once. He was ambiguous when he said what was being covered so I misunderstood and missed a section I needed to review. Also posted wrong dates for exams.

I took Kermani when it we got partly moved to online during Covid-19 in Spring 2020. The Good: Great at explaining topics, great at office hours. The Terrible: Exams were full of unnecessary busy work and problems designed to second guess everything. Have to get 60% on final to pass. Says he hates busy work, puts it on exams. Rude in emails.

Had no problems w/ math til I took him spring 2020. 100s on all the hw, 1st test comes (paper and pencil) and everyone flunks. Asked for help and he was very rude in his replies. Next exam was online and most of the class did ok(not proctored-guess people cheated). Flunked again. I couldn't pass after flunking 2/4 exams so I withdrew to keep my 4.0

Don't take. Like others have said he is very aggressive to the point where emailing him was dreadful. His syllabus was misleading, it says you need to take a practice test before all tests yet there is no practice test. When emailing him about it he said "idk where you got that idea from". Tests are proctored and are very challenging so study hard!

Ditto on the other bad reviews. If this is your first time taking trig, avoid this teacher at all costs! For those unfortunate enough to end up in his class, and you have the ebook that offers videos, watch and study those videos before each lesson. You'll be better prepared for all of the important lessons that this guy will fail to mention.

I did not take a class with Sasan Kermani in person, but I would highly recommend not taking an online course with him. His notes and videos were unhelpful, the homework site used was a poor choice (difficult to review), and the "review" given for our test did not come with an answer sheet. Made a fairly easy class into a struggle that I dropped.

his lectures were short videos filmed on an iphone (in portrait). they were not very helpful. the online textbook is bad. its hard to access, difficult to use, and weird in formatting. MyMathLab, homework place, is actually very helpful. 90% of my learning was there. the tests are long + difficult, but you can get partial. ~2hrs work a day.

Horrible teacher. Had him for both calc 3 and diff eq, and got nothing out of those classes. I'm someone who loves math and wants to major in it, but hated this class. Super hard to approach, so you're basically on your own. His videos providing info on the topic were super confusing, so prepare to look at the textbook.

He doesn't set up his calendar properly. He will move assignment due dates two days before weekly assignments are due. He will even lie about doing it if you ask him. I started one week with 11 assignments to do, and then later in the week, it was bumped up to 11. He once did this two days before the weekly due day (Sunday).

Doesn't know how to properly set up a syllabus, and is little to no help when it comes to any questions you may have.

This has absolutely been the worst professor I have ever taken. Most of the class is failing with the last two class test averages being a 48 and a 60. Other students and I have complained about not being able to ask questions without feeling judged or spoken rudely to. I was even asked to speak to the chair about him.

I'm sure Mr. Kermani is a better teacher in person, but PLEASE do not take his class online if you want to actually learn. I'd also argue that he is quite rude in his emails. His videos didn't help at all and I feel as though I got nothing out of this course. If you can, please just take another teacher's class.

took this one only because i couldnt get the other one because i signed up too late. not worth it.

Professor Kermani is not fast to respond to emails, is quite rude in all of his emails and shows very little respect towards the student in his emails, also the test have questions on them witch are much more complex versions of the problems practiced making it very hard to solve them all within the time limit, causing the student to rush.

This professor is very rude in emails and gives very late notice on tests and homework when they are given

This has been the worst professor I have ever taken. Most of the class is failing. Took this one only because I couldn't get the other one because I signed up too late. Not worth it.

The worst math teacher I've ever had. He's not attentive, lazy about his lecture style and explains only half of the problem and says "the rest is just calculator work" before moving on to something else. Doesn't care about students, blames us for not understanding. My class started with 20 people, on finals day there were 5 left and only 2 passed.

Professor Kermani is not a good virtual teacher. I enjoy online classes because I like being responsible for my learning, but he took weeks to respond to any of my emails and was rude when he did. Additionally he would misread my emails, and write snarky comments on my work; that is, if he bothered to comment on why he took points off at all.

Do not take this class if you're actually interested in learning stuff. go to FIT instead.

If you don't understand something he will just tell you you should have learned that in the past class. He does not make the homework assignments, Pearson does, but they do things very differently from how he does.

Very lecture heavy guy. Will usually find him going on side stories in the middle of his lecture. Has an accent so some of his words can be a bit confusing. He also uses the book like crazy, so if you do not enjoy teachers who rely on the book I would definitely suggest another teacher.

I would not recommend taking this teacher. The course itself isn't hard but he does not care about his students at all and does not accept anything late or do makeups. A professor should care for his/her students and try to hear them out and work with them if they have issues at home or just outside of the classroom in general which he does not.

Worst professor I've ever had. TESTS ARE WORTH OVER 55% OF YOUR GRADE. He was rude in his email replies to me- Half the class was failing, if not most, all of us were struggling. If u fail one test, it demolishes your grade. If you get an A on all the 35+ homeworks we get, it won't even move you 1%. Don't take him, seriously.

The professor is evil.

Professor Hitler is the worst experience I have ever had at this god awful university.

Literally the worst professor I have ever had and I love math.

NEVER TAKE HIM. Very strict professor. Constantly threatens students with zeros and withdrawal in his announcements and emails. Tone comes across as hostile rather than helpful. Clear about deadlines, but not supportive in communication. Be prepared to follow every rule exactly, because there is no flexibility.

Tests are weighted heavily, lots of homework. He teaches like we already know how to do the problems.

Genuinely horrendous professor. Dropped calc 3 with him because he was super disrespectful and would never update grades. I aced the class with a 96% when I took it two semesters after with barely any review. I wish I did not ignore everyone's ratings here
