Comment:

Absolute terrible professor. Failed me my last semester senior year and now I have to retake another class just to graduate. I've never failed a class before in my life. I had no idea what was going on in the class. He isn't organized at all and never responded to my emails. Taking his class is costing me MONEY!!! DO NOT TAKE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT.

Comment:

He may be a little hard to understand, but he teaches well when he's not off on his rare tangents. Read the book, take notes, and look at the study guide he gives - that will get anyone through the course.

Comment:

He is difficult to unsderstand, but not as badly as most people make it out to be. If you have difficulty just sit in front and it makes it much easier.The textbook is difficult and so are the tests. If you ask him about major points, one on one, then the class is much easier.Take good notes get study groups together don't let people scare you away

Comment:

Do not let the negative comments deceive you. I HATE statistics and was really worried about failing. I never thought I could understand statistics until I had this professor. He is very helpful and very kind. He is NOT hard to understand unless you have a hearing problem. Just show up to class and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Very hard to understand him because of his accent. Made the class much harder because of this, and also because he has a tendency to go off on tangents in order to explain something simple. The book he uses is also unhelpful. Hes a smart man, he just can't seem to teach what he knows as well as he should be able to. Good luck....If I had known I would have switched classes.

I took this class just for the needed credit and its availability a few years ago. I remember Moaddel as the worst teacher I had in 4 years of college at EMU. I would take a different class.

Comment:

Really knows the content area, just doesn't seem to bring it down to an undergraduate level. Often felt like he would tell me how to "go next door" by way of wandering through Canada. One memorable experience!

This guy is not very willing to answer questions in class or after. Language inflection makes understanding him difficult to say the least. Avoid this professor.

Comment:

Language was a big barrier and many test questions came from lecture not book. He was not helpful at all if approached. Many of his tests contained poor english and grammar, so much so that it effected the test itself, he had no concern for this problem
