Selected Student comments:
"I really enjoyed Professor Bagheri. He was very knowledgeable about Economics and explained topics very clearly. He tried to engage us with modern examples or examples that we could relate to which made it more interesting. He constantly offered to help us students if we had any extra confusion, and made himself available if his office hours did not work with our schedule. Very nice person and a great teacher! I feel like I greatly increased my knowledge of Economics with Professor Bagheri."
"His notes were very well put together and his lectures supported them well. I enjoyed learning about the dynamics of the economy and I feel that other instructors at this university are not as well versed and efficient in presenting this topic as Mr. Bagheri. Some of the concepts were quite abstract, but we handled all of them exceptionally. I liked that the explanations were both thorough and concise enough to not clutter our minds with unnecessary information."
"I really enjoyed the class and was extremely happy with the way it was taught. I left class feeling confident about the material, which I can honestly say is not usually the case when it comes to some of my other classes."
"He did a very good job of teaching this semester and I could only hope my instructors in the future are as good."
"Prof Bagheri did a great job of explaining the concepts and models of macroeconomics. He was happy to go over concepts repeatedly if students needed this additional information."
"He made sure we understood concepts from previous chapters before teaching us new material. He reiterated important information that helped me progress throughout the class, which then enabled me to comprehend the newer material faster than I would have normally picked up on it."
"Professor Bagger is a very friendly and helpful professor and I enjoyed this class more than I thought I would."
"He used good examples for explaining his point. Overall, he always explained the topics very well and I felt prepared for all of the exams."
"After tests, he tried to cover areas that were misses by a lot of students and seemed to genuinely care about students learning the subject."
"Dr. Bagheri always took the time to explain every concept in detail and often stopped to linger on a certain subject if the class was lost."
"He thoroughly respected and valued the material, which made it more important to the class. Prof. Bagheri was positive and cheerful every class period and also showed appreciation and understanding for the students."
"He was very nice and really tried to get the class to interact and ask questions."
"He spoke slowly. He showed that he was eager to help and answer any questions. Treated everyone with Respect"
"I think Professor Bagheri's teaching was most effective for me when he would work through situations of shifting graph curves on the board, it was easy to follow along and made the principles behind the shifts even more clear."
"Dr. Omid is a nice person, if you face some problem in your study just go to his office hour and he always willing to help you."
