Comment:

My class wondered how he earned his teaching degree. He often forgets things, gives large projects and doesnt give time to do them, and doesnt explain things. He lacks knowledge on what he teaches, and often takes breaks from the lecture to figure out how to do what hes trying to accomplish, before telling us. Also creeped on several girls in class

Aleks is a horrible teaching website and highly recommend not using it. I think the course could have been a little better if he explained everything a lot better and more clearly

The only nice teacher I had at Worthington before I transferred. I made him my advisor second semester because he just knew everything about Engineering and what needed to be done and in a timely fashion.

Comment:

He is a one eyed jabroni!!! He is hard to understand and he teaches like everyone is on the same level if Math he is on. If it's your first time or a beginner you will be screwed because he automatically thinks you know what's going on. He is a terrible explainer and if he doesn't like you he will try to belittle and under mine you in class.

Comment:

I loved this teacher! He made college Algebra super clear for me, and I've always struggled in math. He offered me a ton of help when I needed it. His reviews are very similar to his exams, and he grades fairly, and gives partial credit. As he says, "life is good"!

Comment:

very nice guy, makes sure everyone understands the material. His class just drags on because it's very boring and monotone. the materials easy, i missed a class a week and still finished with a solid A. he gives you a review before every test and its almost identical to the test. super nice guy, recommend his class for an easy math class

Comment:

Nice guy always willing to help. Make sure you pay attention and follow his instructions and you will do fine. The only complaint is that he makes assignments longerCo than needed. He will give the whole 2 hour class for 3 assignments that would take me 30 mins, and we can't move on to the next one until the whole class is done.

I tried to get help. Visited his office multiple times, but was never there. He made my Gen-ed course very difficult. He is very rude as well and difficult to approach.

Comment:

Tossi was a great professor. He made learning math easy. Math is not my most favorite subject, but Mostafa made it tolerable and I did very well in the class. Extremely helpful, too. I have no idea what these people are talking about. If he teaches Math 021 in the summer, take it during that time!

Ok he's a good teacher and his class is easy, but he's hard to understand. Although he stays way too long on each question and it can get frustrating. Also he does'nt give enough tests and that can mess up your grade.

He is a good teacher. I took him in my freshman year with absolutely no intrest in math and I did very well. Not hard to understand unless you don't feel like trying. He's a nice guy too. I haven't had him in years but I run into him once in a while and he still remembers me.

Comment:

He is very slow and does explain everything. HE is really helpful to those students who are stuck on problem. He doesn't like late or tardy people or people don't pay attention to his class. He is really the best math professor that i ever had in my life.
