Comment:
he made no attempt to follow the syllabus--said homework would be assigned on Mondays and he never posted before Fridays and he changed his mind about letting us use calculators. he also is not a good professor to take if you have accommodations because he makes it unnecessarily difficult to use them.

Good professor. He is very smart. Sometimes the material is hard and he is willing to help the ones who want to get help. He is very respected around campus. His teaching method might not work for everyone.

Dr. Elaydi is an amazing professor. He is funny and supportive. He can be hard to follow, but he is so helpful in office hours. He will not let you fail if you try your best.

Comment:
Dr. Elaydi is a fun professor who is very smart about Calculus II. There are two exams, three quizzes, weekly homework, and a final (worth 30%). The class is tough, but he is very open to questions during his office hours. Also, there is a peer tutor for our class that was also very helpful. He goes a little quick, so make sure you focus.

Comment:
He's unclear in lectures. He'll start writing on the board, then he'll pull up the powerpoint made by WebAssign, then he'll try to figure out the powerpoint in front of the whole class in silence. (Not every day is like this, but many are.) I made an A in high school calculus and a 5 on the AP but did badly in his class. Not a good professor.

Comment:
This guy is hilarious, he tells a joke at the beginning of each class and you'll laugh a lot when listening to his lectures. However, I found his class very difficult as I only had a little bit of Calculus before taking the class. Very few tests and quizzes so it's hard to do well if you mess up on one. Funny guy, but this a tough class.

Comment:
Dr. Elaydi is a really smart guy, but he is not an effective teacher. If you have not taken calculus in high school, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He assumes that you know a lot of things that are not taught in precalculus for the most part. He is also judgmental when you ask him questions. Sometimes he even ridicules you if you don't understand somethin

I didn't learn anything from his class, and that's not for a lack of trying. In my humble opinion, he is the worst professor in this department.

Comment:
I didn't take calc in high school and was confused the entire semester. Dr.E is a really great guy but he assumes you think like his PhD mind and therefore skips vital explaining. I relied on the textbook/tutors/online videos a lot of the time. Highly suggest going to office hours A LOT to show you're really trying, it makes a big difference.

So I had an A all semester and was doing really well.. Then the final came. The final had stuff on it I had never seen before. That was such a cheap shot :-( He is funny but sometimes he can be confusing. In office hours he is relatively helpful!

Great professor. Most commenters seem to be either drawn back by the difficulty, or inability to understand his accent. Don't base your opinion on that, and you will love his classes.

Elaydi is interesting. He does have an accent but anyone taking a math class should be used to the trinity UN :) he explains things well. his tests are really easy. he also keeps old copies of tests on his website that you can go to to study.

Needed the class for my minor. Had to drop my entire minor bc he's the only one who teaches it pretty much. His proofs are ASSUMPTIONS and he doesnt really explain ANYTHING. You can probably do well if your an ENGR major, but not if you struggle with math or physics ideas in the least. Steer clear, approach with caution.

the most horrible teacher i have ever met. he can barely speak english which makes it impossible to understand a damn thing that is coming out of his mouth. he's a nice guy, but a horrible teacher. HORRIBLE.
