Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/15/2024	He's a nice person, just nitpicky on the smallest things. It sucks that his lectures are at 8 am because it's hard to stay engaged. If you paid attention to lecture/knew what you were doing, homeworks don't take too long. Exams are very easy; the 1st one was 3d modeling & drawings while the 2nd one was FEAs and assemblies. The personal project was very easy, they graded very lenient, and you had a month to do it. The only problem was the group project: he just put us into random groups instead of putting out a form to see at least if people had similar schedules so that it could be easy to meet up. My group struggled to meet up and it was difficult getting all of our dimensions to match up... Oh, he also has an accent that's not too bad but can be a little difficult at times.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/03/2024	Not an amazing teacher, but not bad either. Veeeeery mediocre. If you can get through the accent you will do fine. Try to not skip too too many lectures though, for some people it caught them pretty bad. The 8am nature sucked though. Exams were easy, personal project was a cakewalk, but the final group project was painful beyond words. He doesn't release the rubric till the last second and you scramble the entire time with a group that you don't choose. He also is terrible at responding to emails sometimes. Can be annoying but just utilize the TA's instead if you can.
Mohammad Fazelpour Anonymous 07/31/2024	I loved his class and he taught it pretty well. I had no complaints and he seems fine, he is just very strict on random things. The class got me very good at CAD and gave me many mech e skills. I recommend taking the class as early in your academic plan as possible.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/06/2024	Solid professor overall. Kind of hard to understand lectures, but he posts the slides and is very knowledgeble. The class has pretty strict grading policies, like senselessly specific about every single center line per drawing, but fine overall. Attendance was not required either which was great.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/20/2024	I recommend Professor Fazelpour for this class. Overall I found the parts we had to build for homework fun, even if they could sometimes get frustrating. Highly suggest going to his virtual office hours as that really helps as the homework gets tougher (he does tend to grade homework a bit harshly, so getting his help can be beneficial). Also - go to class! There are graded in-class assignments occasionally, and he also will go over how to do that week's homework. Final project (CAD model a system of your choice) is a lot of fun and he grades the final very generously.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2023	His class is pretty standard, go to class when there's in-class assignments. The homeworks take a decent amount of time each week but they're due before class not the night before. We had a helpful ta, and the professor both were responsive over email. His exams weren't too bad but some people did find them difficult. There's a group project at the end of the semester, seriously try to meet up not the night right before, it's gonna take longer than you think.

Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/12/2023	I took this course last semester. Honestly as long as you have a little prior experience in CAD, you don't even need to attend the painfully early 8 am lectures. I went to maybe 4 lectures at most and ended up with an A in the class
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME371 Expecting an A- Anonymous 08/04/2022	Dr. Fazelpour was a section leader for 371, and he was one of the better one. In studios/lab, he more so just answered questions while the TF set up and knew the lab procedure. Dr. Fazelpour graded more so on formatting and consistency rather than content, unless there was a major issue with the data. Dr. Fazelpour was a fair grader and professor, so if you see him as a section leader, switch to his section!

Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/27/2021	For 272, Fazelpour is a really good teacher. He goes a little fast in class when reviewing the material, but if you ask him to repeat a step/part, he will go over it again. The TAs can be helpful but really depends on the TA during the semester. Homeworks can take a while, so do not wait until the last minute to start them, especially if you have an issue with a part. The midterms tend to be more complicated than the homework assignments, so be sure to get help if you do not understand aspects of the homework. There is a group project at the end of the semester that should be fun and easy, but if you are in a bad group then it will be a struggle. Fazelpour is understanding and will try to accommodate as much as he can, but waiting until the last minute will not help.
Mohammad Fazelpour FIRE120 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/24/2020	This class was an easy A+, but this professor is horrible. All attendance is mandatory, but you literally do nothing in the class! Had a good group, and you literally work on one project for the whole semester.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Anonymous 12/14/2019	This class is fine. The TAs aren’t super helpful but Fazelpour is helpful and understanding. Not a hard grader. The homework and exams are reasonable.
Mohammad Fazelpour FIRE120 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/29/2019	Lectured straight from the slides, and not in a good way. Didn't provide help for the massive independent project. On the bright side, didn't grade harshly. If you follow the instructions you'll get an A, but don't expect to learn how to do research. I stuck it out because I wanted to join the researcher led FIRE teams. While the course is pretty much a joke for the most part, I would still say the difficulty is a 2/5, since the draft research paper did take a lot of time.
