9920023Great teacher. I had him for the Reading American Images class. It was a lot of work but he's very fair. He took time out with me multiple times to explain things I didn't understand. Overall it was a great lit class.

9120023really good guy. i think he thought i was a better writer than i am, so he didn't criticize my writing as much as maybe i needed, but his class is fun and he keeps it interesting with a lot of discussions.
4820012If he likes you, you're fine I suppose, but this guy has a political axe to grind. He insinuated that one of the students (not me) was racist with no solid basis or even asking for clarification. You too can get a good grade. Smile and nod.
8520004I agree - participation is way too much of your grade - 25%!! Moderately fair grader on essays, except there were some inconsistencies...no tests is a plus, but there's a TON of reading for each class.
7520003Your final grade depends too much on participation. I went to every class and got all A's on my papers, but still ended up with a B. Grading system does not make sense. There are no quizzes and tests in the class. Class is very boring, but we got to watch movies a few times.
8120002He's too lenient, he's as bored as the students are in his course. he make's class intresting and is a fair grader.
9520002Good teacher. Nice guy. A little flaky. Pretty lenient.
9920002Babak is an awesome professor! Had him for Writing and Lit I and am presently in his Writing and Lit II class. He is very flexible about when you submit your papers. He is pretty reasonable in assigning work. On an average, we had a paper to write once a week in Writing and Lit I, but it got very less in Writing and Lit II. He often leaves the class early. He is a fair grader of papers. He listens to and appreciates what you have to say. He is sometimes funny (atleast he tries to be). Very approachable, all my emails were answered in less than 2 hours (once even on a Saturday Night!)
