−	The impression Nasser Nafari left on students who took physics courses with him is that he is a hard core theorist. [[Fahim Chandurwala]] claims that he's heard some students complaining about Nafari giving them a PHYS-312 level explanation to a PHYS-110 problem. Also some people didn't like Nafari because they couldn't understand the English he speaks. Being a hard core theoretical physicist, Nafari had a hard time trying to explain a few concepts in PHYS-130A, the algebra based version of Electricity and Magnetism, without using calculus. He had to constantly refer to some integration while explaining and then say "well, of course I'm not supposed to use calculus in this class so you don't have to understand this". According to some physics graduates from past couple of years, Nafari taught PHYS-314 Quantum Physics in Fall 2004. He spent so much time in class answering people's homework questions that he only had enough time left to cover a little over 3 chapters worth of material in the book, while the same class taught by professor [[Thomas Moses]] in Fall 2006 reached chapter 5.
