He sucks! Very hard, is all over the place in lectures. The entire class failed the first quiz(the easiest one). He gives you homework to study for quizes, then doesn't put it on the quiz, not understandable with an accent.

This teacher is confused with himself, he is all over the place. He grades everyone different, and if you ask a question, he says "your confused", DUH! Everyone said he would curve at the end to avoid everyone from failing, but he didn't and maj

DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY!!!! Very hard!!! He has 2 tests and a quiz almost every class. On a couple quizes he had not even taught us the information yet, but we were being tested on it before we even learned it!!! Horrible teacher!!!

DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH!!! I spent more time in this man's class trying to understand what he was saying than learning the material. There are only two test a midterm and a final. He gives problems on the test that weren't covered in class. He doesn't wait for people to understand it. BAD!

WARNING: If you are not the blackboard he does not teach you. He speaks to the blackboard more than he does the students. He works the problem on the blackboard but does not explain how he came to get the answer. If you are even up on algebra but not a wiz stay away.

DANGER:DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!WARNING:WORST PROFESSOR EVER!This was a 8 wk long course w/ 4 quizzes & 2 tests. Noone could drop because he only had 1/2 the quizzes & tests graded and we didn't get our last 2 quizzes back until AFTER the final.SCATTERBRAINED,UNPREPARED,CAN'T DO A SIMPLE ALGEBRA PROB,I could keep going on.

DO NOT TAKE VERY HARD AND HE IS VERY UNHELPFUL. HE HAS HIS PETS AND THE REST HE FAILS.HES LATE FOR CLASS BUT EXPECTS STUDENTS TO BE ON TIME.

he doesn't communicate to his students well.

This is the worst teacher i have ever had at FCCJ. He doesnt tell you what is on you test. Also when you go to his office and ask for help he trys to help and then he says ok i am done to it at home. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

PLEASE I REPEAT PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!!! MAN HIS ENGLISH ISN'T THAT GOOD!! HE WOULD BE DOING A PROBLEM ON THE BOARD BUT BE COVERING IT UP AT THE SAME TIME!! HE WOULD JUMP FROM ONE SECTION 2 ANOTHA!! HE WRITES SAME AND HE ASSIGNS HOMEWORK AND LOTS OF IT BUT WOULDN'T GRADE IT!! THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!

HE IS A HORRIBLE TEACHER!!!! I CAN HARDLY UNDERSTAND HIM BECAUSE OF HIS ACCENT. HE MOVES TO FAST IN CLASS AND HE IS NOT VERY HELPFULL. IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING HE WILL JUST EXPLAIN IT THE EXACT SAME WAY OVER AND OVER AGIAN.I WISH I HAD NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS CLASS. HE REALLY DOES SUCK!!!!

I will not be taking this teacher again. I tried to go to him for help on many occasions and all he says is to wait until the next test. He said if I fail I fail. Was unwilling to give any extra help. He only grades on the four tests he gives so there is no room for mistake. All his class is, is one long lecture. Terrible teacher.

Half of class failed 1st exam. Professor kept us after class and then spoke to us like we were stupid.He doesn't go over worksheets given out, so how do we know what we are doing is right.

Doesn't take the time to explain what he's writing on the board. Doesn't understand the questions that are asked. Gives the hardest problems on the quizzes and exams. I'm sure he is very intellegent but is not a good professor. Doesn't teach, just talks and it sounds like "Blah, blah, blah.." Stay away from this guy!

DON'T DO IT!!!!! Horrible teacher. He gives homework but does not collect it and does not go over it which completely defeats the purpose. He does not explain work well and the problems on the quizzes and exams are nothing like what he goes over in class. I love math and thats my inteded major but he made me rethink that decision. JUST DON'T DO IT!

this teacher is not a good professor..he is boring and it is very hard to keep up in his class

poor quality in class performance and teaching style

Horrible!! Dont do it.

I could learn more staying at home watching youtube. All he does is write on board same thing that is in the text. Does not explain or as students questions. Does curve but had to ask since the whole class was failing except one student. Boring, in class quizes and exams hard. 5 quizes total 20 points each drops lowest quiz. 4 Exams 10 questions.

He was boring, and I couldn't understand what he said. He wrote what was in the book on the board. He didn't understand questions that you ask. Quizzes & tests are questions from the HW. HW wasn't collected, & I just felt like I was wasting my time in his class. He tried to curve the grades at the end, but I still failed. DO NOT take this class!!!!

He's a terrible professor. All he does is copy the examples from the book onto the board. Make's you feel like a jack ass if you ask him questions. STAY AWAY!!! Even if this is the professor on this world I still wouldn't recommend taking him. Our class started out with 36 students and is down to 9 and the semester isn't up.

He comes to class unprepared and thinks hes the best math professor fscj has to offer when he definitely is not. Teaching is not what he should be doing. He has a thick Iranian accent and can be hard to understand.

hands down one of the worst professors. he goes too fast, and doesn't slow down. He is nice as a person, but a horrible professor. Does not go over exams, and doesn't give study guied.

i dont usually ever do this. STEER CLEAR!!! im good in math but this man does not teach or go by his syllabus. impossiby hard. nice person. cant understand. and terrible teacher. run the other way!!

Quizzes and tests he gave looked nothing like his examples during lecture or what we did on My Math Lab assignments, very confusing.

The class started with about 15 students. When I dropped there were 3 left. It's not that the class or material is difficult. He is a horrible teacher. He's dry and confusing. They say "Those who can, do, and those who can't, teach." Seyed must be a real good doer because he sure can't teach! You must consider another teacher at all cost!

Do not take!

Worse teacher ever! Very hard to understand. Gets problems wrong often and has to restart them. Rude. Unwilling to help students out. By far the worse teacher I've ever experienced. Avoid taking his class. Ps he doest speak very good english making it harder to understand him.

Dont listen to good raters, they had decent backgrounds in mathematics prior to the class. Quizzes and test are too hard. Gets annoyed when students ask for specific steps in solving the problem. This professor needs to be evaluated for tenure because he is the worst professor I have had.

He does NOT go through all the material. When taking his class, it was more of a self learn class. Very monotonous and boring, making it hard to concentrate and follow. He does not explain the process in detail.

I do not understand why this professor is still allowed to teach at this school. Our class began this year with 30 students, and we now have around 12. He blows through the material stating, "you should already know this" No sir. This is why we are attending your class! I am having to teach myself everything from MyMathLab and pay for a tutor!!

As if college algebra isn't hard enough, learning Mr. Vafa's linguistics is a free obstacle included. His mind thinks in physics. He's far too intelligent to teach the average student. He expects you to already know it, as he refreshes you. Save yourself the heartache. Out of 30 students, 3 passed our class.

Apparently in the US, speaking English is not always a requirement for teaching classes. That really makes things difficult. Lets be real: If you have to spend half the class deciphering what the hes saying, you're doomed for failure. Having an extremely low class average doesnt mean you are that rigorous of a teacher. It means you don't care.

This prepress or was the worst professor I ever had. I took trigonometry last term with him, and it started out with 15 people in the class, before mid-term there was only 4 of us left, and on the last day, only 3 of us were left in the class. i didn't pass. He's very difficult to understand and very unhelpful. He crams too much Info in one class.

Besides the accent his lectures are boring, he doesn't explain things well and expects you to do everything his way anything else is wrong, if approached with a problem that was marked wrong even if it's right he will answer with "you didn't do it like I thought you"... And the many quizzes that he gives have little to nothing to do with the exams.

This man is very hard to understand. I was pretty good at algebra in high school. (C/o 2013) I took MAC1105 in spring 2015. I could not understand his foreign accent. His monotone voice was very boring. His teaching pace was too fast. I ended up failing the class. So I strongly advise not to choose this teacher.

I took this gentleman for a summer course and was absolutely disappointed. All he does is keeps his back turned to the class while he stands in fornt of the board writing problems as if he's explaining the process of solving the problem to himself (thinking out loud I guess). if you want to pass, DONT DO IT. He is not the one!

This man is the worst professor ever. He will often say "it doesn't matter how i got this answer. Just know that this is the answer." He's not helpful AT ALL!!He'll huff his breath , and act like a child when you ask a question. Do NOT take this class, I'm telling you this for your own sanity.

I don't know the syllabus doesn't match what's being graded online in my math lab. The syllabus grading system does not make sense. On top of that he grade hard, the exams are worth 75% of the grade so if u fail an exam horribly it's over with. The homework in quizzes don't bring a significant change in grades to me.

This professor stands in the front of the board the entire class writing and talking. He is very monotone , making it hard to understand and stay attentive. He sometimes give 5 minutes for a few problems, but no classwork at all. Quizzes given each week. The tests are more difficult than the notes taken in class. I wouldn't suggest this professor.

I took this professor as my first college class. Never will i ever again, he doesn't care about if you're learning or not. He gives attitudes when you ask for help. hes late to his own class 10 minutes every class. hes very monotone and hes not a good teacher at all. he makes simple problems harder than what they really are.

Lectured every minute of the class every single class except exam days. Be ready for a weekly quiz. It was also very hard to understand the lectures due to his thick accent. I wouldn't take this class again.

The worst lecturer I have ever had. AVOID this professor at all costs.

The teacher was lazy and unorganized. I took the class online but even when I went to campus to see him in person to ask for help he was very unhelpful. No practice test. No partial credit. No re-opening of assignments at the end of the term. LOTS of material to cover. It wasn't the material that made this class difficult.

I missed one day of class and was so far behind in my notes and work that I could not recover. I would say that this class has caused more stress than anything else in my life. His tests are insanely hard and he tries to fit as many chapters into one test as possible. Even if you wanted a "challenge", I still would not recommend his class.

He was a very tough grader. Did not like it when students veered away from his way of teaching. Was very disorganized. You will not know when exams are coming up. He has no schedule on his syllabus so be prepared to be lost. His homework is not graded and not checked. He covers material that is not in the chapter and jumps from section to section.

He would give take home quiz that were posted on blackboard. The students have to print them out and bring them to class the next day. Well i had the class on Monday and Wednesday. Most of the time he would post the quizzes on blackboard saturday or sunday morning and then make them due Monday. That doesnt give the student enough time to complete.

The professor gets an "F". If you do not understand or don't like math I would suggest another professor. He makes so many mistakes when teaching. Thankfully I new better. There is so ALOT of homework. I am not sure how he is even allowed to teach. Did a huge disservice preparing the class for College Algebra.

He rushed through lessons and didn't explain them thoroughly. The last week before exams he went over new material which we only had a few days to attempt to learn. He gives a ton of homework and most of it isn't even on the tests.

He's one of the worse instructor I've had. he's not very patient, doesn't explained when you ask him question about a problems.

His accent is very heavy so it's hard to understand him and he talks very low. When you try to ask him a question about something he gets frustrated. What he says in his syllabus and emails is completely different from what he says. If you miss quizzes or tests because of an emergency he won't let you make it up so you fail that assignment.

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. He would copy the book and come up with the wrong instructions/answers. The whole class was the students mostly critiquing his mistakes. He would cover so much material and and was terrible at explaining things. Do not take him

His response to COVID is terrible. He pushed us to take a test the week we came back and it was next to impossible. His response was to pay $25 for proctor. I assume many people didn't take the test because then he allowed them to take it with no proctor at all. What about the people who struggled to get it done? He doesn't teach anyways. Garbage.

Just another professor who has no idea how to keep their students interested.

This was the worst class I have ever taken with the worst professor by far! He started right away doing algebra problems on a small white board and never took time to explain how MathLab works or walk you through anything. He only gives one attempt per exam and will post the exam on Monday morning with a due date of 12:00PM same day! I could go on.

Careful taking this course. This teacher is not very interactive, he also has a very thick accent and you will be watching hours worth of him doing tons of equations on a tiny white board that's not even focused properly on his video. He covers entirely way too much material a week, tests open the day of and you must complete it that same day.

Assigned (mandatory) 6+ hours of homework a week even though it counts for basically nothing towards your grade (cant take quiz if you dont). First prof not to offer any type of practice exams (even through MathLab would just be a click of a button). Teaches class in a monotone voice on a tiny board and doesn't answer emails.

Proff spent his two and a-half hour class time going over the same thing, He was talking so slow, which was a dowser, just so he could extend the class time. He was lenient to me when I failed a test, he let me retake, but it would take him forever to reply to emails (meaning he would get back to you at midnight). Honestly would not take again.

Online class, camera often out of focus and writes off the screen so students cannot see what he is writing. Not tech saavy. VERRRRRY LECTURE HEAVY. NO ROOM FOR QUESTIONS UNLESS YOU CONTACT HIM BY EMAIL. I may have to re take this required course and will definitely be in a classroom.

I would only recommend this course for student's who already have a strong math base. The method of teaching consists of writing out problems with a projector above his hand, making it difficult to see the entire problem. There will be multiple assignments assigned will be due within 48 hours of being assigned with a due date over the weekend.
