APMA 2120

Prof, Mohajeri is the nicest professor (and in my opinion the best multivar prof). I took this class completely online and I enjoyed his lecture, but he does cold call people, so be aware of that. The classwork/groupwork is not too bad, but if you get a group that likes to talk and interact well with prof, he will help you with it. The webassign is kind of pointless for the exams, but is an easy way to get points. The exams are fair, but the second one was the most difficult. For online, the exams were open note but were long, so you need to know what you're doing and make a quick reference sheet. He is very accommodating to anything, as long as you let him know at reasonable times. I was able to take the exam late and he was really chill about it. I liked his teaching style (teaches concepts and then does examples) but I would recommend doing some prep beforehand because he goes a little quick.

This is gonna be a completely honest review. Professor Mohajeri is a really good person and is good at teaching the material. He prepared us well for all of the midterm exams, but we were all really unprepared for the final exam. I don’t know what went wrong there, but our average was a lot lower than that of the other professors. That wasn’t good because the final was worth 25% of our grade (mine tanked by 5%). I’d probably still recommend him over the other professors, but the final exam put me off a bit.
You get worksheets everyday and they’re randomly collected so make sure you do everything right and on time. The weekly webassign starts out really easy and fast and then it gets progressively longer over the year. It could take you over 4 hours sometimes. Webassign has certain problems that aren’t covered in class but you need to know how to do everything!!!
Make sure you always study for the quizzes and work quickly during group work. Do the supplementary problems and test study guides when you study for midterm exams. He calls the midterms “tests” but they are all actually worth 15% of your grade each, so don't make the mistake of thinking it’s just a test (my friends did that by accident).
Overall, I really did enjoy the class and I love the professor. He’s kind and really helps with understanding 3D calculus. You won’t regret taking this class with him
