Dr. Mohammadi is passionate and kind, but the class structure made learning difficult. Lectures were often hard to follow, and some labs felt unrelated to the material. I ended up teaching myself much of the content outside of class. If you are comfortable self studying, the class is manageable.Rate My Professors ↗
I really like Prof's Mohammadi's lectures! He speaks at a good pace and is passionate about the subject, which makes lectures more engaging. I appreciate it when he makes little jokes in the lecture!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Mohammadi is a very nice guy, and he does care about student learning, but I still found Physics with him to be confusing, and not always explained in the best terms to encourage the student understanding. This is a hard, sometimes boring class that is very time-consuming, but he does try to make lectures more interesting with demonstrations.Rate My Professors ↗
He is very kind and willing to help, but the class is very difficult. Go to office hours. Join the PLC.Rate My Professors ↗
I really liked Prof Mohammadi, had him for 207 too. His lectures are about the concepts and exams/hw are applying the concepts through questions, which are rly not gone over in lectures. But he teaches well and discussions+HW is decent practice.Rate My Professors ↗
Class is a standard physics class. Lecture and discussion are mandatory, even though neither were useful for me for overall exams.Rate My Professors ↗

Abdollah Mohammadi is described as passionate and caring, with students noting his enthusiasm and accessibility in office hours. However, reviews disagree on his lecturing quality; some find his explanations clear and helpful, while others report that lectures are confusing, disorganized, or do not match the textbook. Students frequently mention that exams are difficult and may test material not covered in homework, requiring significant self-study or practice with past exams to succeed.
