MATH6B . 10 Years Ago

He is really helpful during the office hours. The midterms and finals are always similar as the practice problems. Lectures are well organized and gave a lot of examples to explain the concept. His curve is also very big. A good math professor and I really recommend to take MATH6B with him.

His lectures are confusing, he speaks very quietly so sit in the front. But his tests are straightforward so it is not so bad.

Professor Karimi is a really nice teacher. He speaks softly, so just sit closer to the front to understand his lecture. His curve is amazing though. I probably should have gotten a B, but instead I got an A- with the curve. Tests are similar to practice exams but are a little trickier. If you got to CLAS as well, you're bound to get at least a B-.

Just a little bit soft on the voice, suggest sitting close to the front. Clear steps, lectures well-structured, overall easy to understand, but maybe all this is just because I'm good at the course.

Really good class. Very clear examples. Speaks softly, but it's not too bad. Very considerate, and helpful towards students.

He knows the material but is really quiet. His tests are straight forward and are similar to the practice ones he posts. He's a fair grader

Decent Professor overall. Exams are pretty much exactly like the practice tests. (Midterm is 35%, Final is 50% of grade) There is a rather lenient curve given for exams and the final grade. Goes over many examples in lectures, but skips over steps at times and is a little unclear. Speaks rather quietly but is clear in speech.

Good professor but too quiet, hard to hear him past the first few rows. No textbook. Lectures and homework are good prep for tests, but they were still hard. Did not need to go to section. He's really fair with curves and due dates can be flexible. Best math professor at UCSB.

He's very quiet and skips a lot of steps and mumbles a lot. This class was super stressful and we didn't really know what to expect from him. He curves and is fair. He seems like a nice guy to talk to about math but I wouldn't take another class with him. I'm really surprised at the good reviews. Got outta the class with a good grade though!

He makes everything concise and easy to understand. There is more emphasis on the methods of solving than on useless memorization. Really funny and chill guy. The class environment is very warm and welcoming. Karimi prepares you very well for the midterm and final. Best math lecturer I've ever had at UCSB.

He was helpful during office hours, clear as to what will be on the exam and gives us a bunch of practice. He also skips the proofs and useless derivations too, which is good. I just wish he helped students through email more. He makes a lot of mistakes during lecture though, but he still allows us to grasp the concept. Getting an A is doable.
