You need to read and study. Basic college requirements, students need to stop thinking you can do the bare minimum in physics or engineering and still do well.

DO NOT TAKE HIM, HE GIVE OUT A LOT OF WORKS, AND DONT EXPLAIN HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE. Also, he is tough grader, he always has at least one reason point out where you should deduct your grade.

This class was nightmare. Heavy lecture and concepts, hard homework. Professor always put pressure by saying us" if you wanna pass this class don't cheat and be at class". At the exam days more pressure to student with giving time. No review, rarely accept the labs report, never answer your email, final included all chapters , AVOID! AVOID!

I mean he's not the worst I've had. But let me tell you, GET READY to cram a ton of material in one class. like literally the first exam was about 5-7 chapters worth of material and is like that for the other 2 exams. All the homeworks were online and you have to pay for that but that's a personal preference. I'm old school so textbook for me.

Exams are 70% of your grade and no exam/chapter reviews. Doesn't provide any support for his students, just did his lectures and left. No one in class spoke or felt welcomed, didn't even let zoom messeges btwn students. He could've provided more resources/worksheet/materials for his students since PHY is already hard. AVOID if you want high grade!

I HATE HIM, please don't take him. the HW never gets over, it goes on and on, tests are hard to the point where all the students drop classes. he does not explain anything and just expects u to know it. please save your life and take another prof who will help u understand what u are doing in class. bo review sheet, 1-7 chapters on one test....

Comment:
Not a good professor in the least. Doesn't explain lectures well and does not extrapolate on difficult topics. Homework is difficult and not correlated to the lectures at all. Grades are unclear, he uses checks and pluses. Tests are ambiguous, as he makes them the night before the exam.

Where do i start? you cannot fail with this professor. well you can but I mean his drive is inspiring. he wants the best for you even if it comes out in a sarcastic way. YOU WILL LEARN THE MATERIAL. If you can just meet him half way he is a fair grader and he will work with you if you ask him. i felt like i was in the field and i learned to accept

One of the best professor in BMCC. He will really prepare you for senior college. He went really deep into detail of the subject and gives you the insight of engineering based on his professional experience. Really a great research mentor. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to excel professionally.

after the lecture you feel like you understand the subject but when you try to do the homework on the website everything is totally different and you get confused. and plus the website doesn't really help you on solving the problem compare to web assign.

Comment:
Worst professor I've ever had. The class asked to do another example when we were all confused and he got frustrated and said no, then moved on. He is not accessible outside of class because he'd adjunct at Post, and will never answer an email. His grading for exams is also very unclear as to whether he will drop an exam or curve at the end.

Comment:
I took physics before & had to retake it because it didn't transfer over. He over complicates the simplest of topic, he doesn't explain well and degrades his students when they ask questions. He even put up our grades in front of the entire class on the board. This is the worst professor I have ever had.I only got an A because of my other professor

Comment:
he teaches as if all this information is common sense. the program that's essential for the class is hardly explained 2 u at all. you have to consult other students for help. rushes through lecture, hard to understand some concepts that he's talking about. i felt as if i was missing a pre-req class after my first 3 weeks in that class.

This professor is a remarkably difficult grader, exams are really hard and he gives a lot of homework. However he makes up for it with amazing lectures and he helps you to solve the difficult homework problems in class, he wants you to pass and cares about his students. Absolutely take him but you will work hard. (This class is the hardest at BMCC)

Prof. Ardebili, i wouldn't tell how hard of a professor he is when taking his physics class, lots of assignments being uploaded online, a lot of it was hard that I had to look it up online, and find out what the answer was, even the tutor he hired, he didn't help, and apparently can't do the math right when it comes to explaining work

Fun and interesting professor . He care more about projects and practical skills than simple results . Very knowledgeable professor. If paying more attention and doing the projects on time , there are even spare time to play video games.
