An excellent professor. The class is great if you have some interest into nuclear engineering, but not might be as much of your drift if you're not as engaged with it. As long as you remain engaged, you should be able to do well. For most of the nuclear engineering classes, I would recommend you have already taken thermodynamics, fluids, and heat transfer, as while he does cover the material within class, it's much harder to keep up without it. Would recommend going to class if possible, as sometimes he will mention important information within class that will be useful for the homework (very manageable) or exams (open note, do not need to physically present). He usually posts slides and/or the recording of the lectures. No curve, but he is generous with awarding points for the exams and the homeworks. Definitely increased my interest in nuclear, so a definite recommend. |

Personally don't like the content so class was hard to get into, but he is a very nice professor. He is generous with removing points on exams. Homeworks are pretty straight forward. The most annoying thing was he removes slides before he posts for "copyright purposes". He posts recording for the class though so you can still see the content. Exams are just like the homework, but not identical. Make sure you know some things prior to the test. It is all online so you have access to textbook problems and homework solutions. I recommend if you like seeing the world on a tiny scale. |

Very old school. Nice guy. Okay at teaching. Generous grader. Online exams that are 100% open (internet and notes are allowed). 4 stars because he gets really mad if you pull your phone out even for a few seconds, also gets really triggered if you whisper to a friend. If you're just looking for a low effort tech elective, id suggest something else. If you're into nuclear engineering you'll probably like the class more than I did, it's just not really my thing. |

Fantastic professor. Cares about his students and is very patient, especially when they show initiative (i.e. coming to class and asking questions). Exams are open everything and online. |

Awesome professor who really prioritized learning and performance in the class. He is unmatched in replying to emails and the same goes with his grading. He puts an enormous amount of effort in the course in presenting information, where each of his lectures probably took hours to prepare for with all information he presented. Truly an excellent teacher and couldn't recommend more, he is understanding, approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, and wants everyone to do their best. |

Nice professor who is very passionate and knowledgeable about the nuclear engineering field. Makes an effort to answer questions promptly, once even answering an email I sent to him at 2am. Homework is marked very quickly. I tend to submit my homework on friday/saturday and would get a grade within 24hours. |

Mahmood is a very nice man, but not an effective teacher. Part of this is likely due to online learning since he isn't very tech savy, but he would rarely stay focused on the content of the class during lectures. If there is an option to take a class Professor Massoud is teaching with another professor I would recommend doing so |
