Most Helpful Review
Fall 2020 - *Taken in Fall 2020 (Online Instruction)* Probably the only class I will fail in college, and I literally don't care. For ANY other class I would, especially with my tight graduation requirements. Babakhani is completely unengaging. Monotonous voice, lectures are reading pared-down book information in slides with very little expansion on concepts in either example or theory form. Unlike in any other online class, he does not turn his camera on, giving the impression of a lack of vested interest in his class. My biggest takeaway from this class was this: a student asked a question about the midterm exam, and Babakhani refused to answer the question. He interrupted the student multiple times to state he would dismiss any questions, until the student was able to clarify that their question was about answer formatting. If you like RF, the material should be interesting. Just don't take it with Babakhani.
