Summer only class, you are expected to learn compiler construction on your own with 50% of your grade based on a mid term and final that includes information he reads off and writes illegibly on the board.

Say goodbye to your gpa when you take this prof...which is your only option anyways with how SVSU's curriculum is set up. Three words: incompetent, incomprehensible, and arrogant.

Comment:
The guy called himself "the expert", despite the fact that the statistics questions that are on his exams were incomprehensible, unrealistic, and unsolvable. He also criticized students both in front of their faces and behind their backs. Very hard to work with. No one enjoyed the course, no one believed they learned anything valuable. Enough said

Comment:
This man is the worst CS professor at Saginaw. He doesn't listen to criticism, and won't accept anything other than how he believes it should be. CS is subjective, but he tries to make it objective.

Comment:
Professor Marzjarani does nothing more than read off his PowerPoint slides. He has weekly "quizzes" which are actually more like tests (50+ q's). The quiz questions are RIDICULOUS. Many of the questions are so similar that it's impossible to study properly, and some of the questions are random facts that you would normally skip over when studying.

Pretty easy class. Not a ton of work. Marj isn't too helpful but the class isn't too useful so not a huge deal.

Mr. Marjarani is the nicest prof I've ever had. At first it can be a bit hard to understand his accent, but that should by no means keep you from taking his classes and doing well.

Thought I would get an "F" but ended up with an "A". He weighs his grades like crazy. He's also very nice.

Pretty easy teacher, but I had a little trouble with a few of the homework assignments. The tests were a breeze. It took me about 2 weeks to be able to fully understand him. He doesnt take attendence, and you can be online the entire class. Great professor

This guy is great! He is kinda hard to understand at times and talks very softly, but I really did love his class I wish I had taken his section of CS146 (The guy I have is awful...). If you know little about computers and programming, I would suggest taking his classes and he will help you as best he can.

Doesn't understand english very well. Speak slowly to him if you want to tell him anything. Boring and slow teacher if you are good with computers.

Comment:
very good teacher. Most likely 1 of 2 CS professor at svsu that hasn't choosen teaching becuase they have failed at obtaining a commercial job. He is really helpful, and will help you learn more than you paid for, but only if you try hard and ask.
