I think the previous review was written by the professor himself - it certainly reflects his speaking style. The professor is rude and uncaring. He is encumbered by his research and other responsibilities. He demonstrates favoritism early on in the course. I don't think this professor understands what teaching is really about - he takes "sage on the stage" pretty seriously, because you can tell his has a massive ego over his work. I didn't walk away from the course with concrete knowledge on the subject matter beyond what I could read on my own on the PowerPoints. I don't recommend at all. You would expect this quality professor elsewhere, not at a UC.

Perhaps the worst professor I've taken at UCLA. First, the temper. My god, this man has a temper. On the first day of class, he yelled at the previous class' instructor for not ending his class exactly at 1:50 PM. Imagine your professor storming into the class at 1:51 PM as students were leaving and yelling how "this is the University of California!!" to a colleague. Great first impression for an early bird like me. Second, he just doesn't like students. He has extensive research experience in the subject but it's evident he has no desire in making it teachable to undergrads. The subject is hard, and Professor Bozorgnia makes it harder by skipping over fundamentals in favor of getting through a lot of material in one class. Third, he isn't that available or approachable for office hours. When he was, I often left more confused and anxious. Honestly, I don't know why I didn't drop - I assumed it would get better, but it never did.

Professor Bozorgnia is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is so caring, so helpful, and his lectures are really engaging and funny too. I don't know why there are bad reviews about him (it makes me angry). I would gladly retake more classes with him. The homeworks and quizzes were very fair, and he is always willing to hop on a zoom call if there is any confusion.

Don't even care about what the previous guy told about him. At the end of the quarter, he even said, if any of you cannot find a job until late April, come find me. Don't accept any job that is underpaying or something that you wouldn't like. I will make sure all of you, my students, will have the best possible start to your careers. He was the most helpful most bonding teacher I have ever seen.
In the lectures, he knows what he is doing. He probably memorized the order of the presentations that he is showing. It is not easy I assure you. There were at least 300 pages of presentations. He was very well planned. He was doing everything to underline the most important parts of the class. He put all the effort to let us understand what is really going on. He is the funniest teacher by the way. The class had a good laugh at least 2 times a lecture. I cannot believe how a mean person can tell something bad about him. By quoting Prof Bozorgnia "Unbelievable".
