Teaching

One thing that was appreciated were the words Dr. Nasab chose when responding to questions, affirming students. Difficult to explain, but he had a higher level of care and interpersonal skills than most people or professors. Overall, impressive course. Dr. Nasab works extremely hard and his efforts did not go unseen.

This class was my favorite class this semester by far!! Everything that Dr. Nasab taught was very valuable, and he makes his classes so much fun because you can see how much he cares about the subject. I would not ask for anything different!

Dr. Nasab is an excellent teacher and one that I consider to be the very best out of the Civil Professors. His superior organizational skills and devotion to learning makes classes easy to follow. Dr. Nasab is not afraid to challenge his students to learn, and students who put the effort in to engage with the material excel in the class. Dr. Nasab is adaptable and tenacious in teaching, and I count myself lucky to have him as a professor.

This has surprisingly been the best engineering class I have taken at St. Thomas. Not because the material is easy, it is not, but the way the class has been structured and relates to my daily environment is incredible. Being able to use all the software that are used in the workforce in the classroom gave me an edge in the internship I was taking at the same time. Collaboration with a watershed management organization gave us an idea of what our role is in the natural environment, and providing a solution to a real-life problem made the class even more realistic.

Dr. Nasab does a great job with going through material and an example in class as well as having a homework problem similar to what we are doing in class. I really like having one homework per night to feel like I can keep learning and continue to understand what is going on in class.

I can tell he cares a lot about his teaching philosophy and how to go about material, and it pays off. I always enjoy having him as my professor.
