Comment:

Mr. Musallam is an incredible math teacher. He really hammers in that you know the language to discuss math, speaking of that (no pun), if you don't like being put on the spot, this is probably not the class for you. He is good at connecting math to the real world.

Amazing professor, really good at explaining although his tests are crazy, he pushes you to succeed. Really caring guy wanting to see his students succeed, he also has a nice sense of humor. And I like that he is not politically correct, so all the people getting offended don't cry if your triggered.

Comment:

Passionate and caring professor, he makes math entertaining. His tests are hard because he pushes your math skills,. He also excepts homework if its a day or two late. Coming out of his class you'll be a math wiz. Best quality about him is he reviews and teaches the material thoroughly so students know . Also get ready to sing Christmas Carols.

Mr. Musallam is an amazing teacher. He's really tough though so you gotta work for this class. He's really passionate about teaching this and he can make you love math if you put in the effort. He only calls you out and calls you name if you make silly and stupid mistakes so just be cautious of that. Best math teacher ever!

One of the best professors I have had so far. He makes you work hard for your grades. His tests are from out of this world but luckily he gives you a practice test and most of the questions are similar to the practice test. P.S: If you just want the grade and pass the class, this class is not for you!!

He is a professor you are going to either love or hate. The material he teaches are explained very well, but it is the other nonsense thing he due like calling people out that is a waste of time. Do good in his class or his gonna let you know in front of everyone.

Mr. Musallam is one of the few great professors there are. His tests are really hard but he prepares you for them as long as you come to every class and pay attention. He keeps to class very interesting, so good luck trying to fall asleep. He makes sure you learn the material real good or else hes going to come after you. P.S. This is the King

Comment:

Not the most sane person you'll find at Macomb, but definitely one of the smartest. This is the first math class I've ever taken where I understood what was going on and remembered things clearly. He will call you out if you get the answer wrong in class, but it's only because he wants you to learn and is super passionate about what he teaches.

He's a great guy an amazing teacher. He loves to interact with his students. I had him for calc 1 and he did a great job teaching the curriculum as well as other tips and information to make you great at math. His tests are extremely difficult and he is a tough grader.

Great professor and the class is never boring, but he is very tough. What ever you put in is pretty much what you get out of it. Is grading is pretty weird but other than that is a great tough professor.

Mr. Musallam is by far one of the best Math teachers I have ever taken. He is very funny and wants you to succeed. If you are a serious college student, take him. If you are not a serious student you will not succeed. The practice tests are just like the actual tests. Very rewarding teacher if you are a serious student!

Comment:

He's difficult but rewarding. I was scared to take him, because of online reviews. I'm someone who would still use my fingers to count, and definitely someone who he's poked fun at. However, I wouldn't trade my experience in this class for anything else. If you're going into engineering I recommend you take his class, as he will teach fundamentals.

Mr. Musallam is one tough cookie. But, he is the hands-down best math teacher I have ever had. He will put you on the spot and make sure that you know the material, and everyone in the class does better for it. As long as you put forth the effort, you will do great in his class.

Comment:

Mr. Musallam is an amazing teacher, likely better than many teacher at Ivy league colleges. He understands the material miraculously and somehow makes you enjoy learning it. I will say the class is extremely difficult. If Math is not something you wish to develop, you will be miserable. On a scale of difficulty 1-5: he's a 50--hardest tests ever.
