I had him for Photo1. Afshin does not like answer mios, but he is almost always available in person, so if anything, just go see him. We had 2 quizzes on the material of the course pack and some questions were to test your understanding of the functioning of the camera. We had about 5 photography projects and street photography was really fun to do. I recommend taking this class in winter semester since you will end up having a great amount of opportunity to take pictures outside. After getting your marks for the project, you can usually negotiate your way through and get some extra marks. Make sure you attend the lectures and that you listen to him in class. He finds it offensive to be distracted while he is talking. But he has a great humor and the class is really fun. I liked the course and would recommend.
