Comment:

This is one of the best professors I have ever had. He has a great sense of humor and truly cares about everyone succeeding. Keep up in this class and if you dont understand something, do not procrastinate and go see him during his office hours and he will do anything to help you. Overall one of the most caring professors I have ever had.

Comment:

This professor is one of the best for differential equations. I've had this class several times. He will embarrass you if he knows you aren't working which is unfortunate, but you should be keeping up anyway! The tests are not bad for Differential Equations. He is reasonable and goes slow. If you don't do well in his class then you didn't know it

Comment:

Dr Khlief rarely had a good thing to say about anyone's work. He was demoralizing and demotivating, ripping apart freshman attempts at algorithmic analysis as if they were grad students. He would frequently read student's work aloud in class, pause, then say "Whud ees thees", and smirk as if someone had just eaten a bite of dirt cake. (1991)

Comment:

He makes some really lame jokes that people don't usually get, but I love that kind of humor. Other than that I am doing TERRIBLE in his class and he is not helpful at all when he "answers" your questions in class. He just ends up embarassing you pretty much. Don't fall behind or you will be one of the people who needs to ask a question and you'll have to write a problem on the board or something.

Comment:

Hardcore, but if you show that you will work for the grade then he is really cool. Go see him, he will understnad. Skipped class, got a good excuse, he understnads. Do not misout on an oppurtunity to get to know such a great professor. They are extremely hard to find in the TTU Math Dept.

Comment:

By far the best math professor I have had yet. The exams are very straight forward and he does not kill your grade for having minor mistakes, unlike some others. The class is reasonably entertaining from his jokes as well. The accent is not very bad.

Very hard to understand. Might be better for upper level math classes. He is a big smart ass in that he likes to make you look stupid. He always call on you when you are not paying attion. His test are hard to be prepared.

I had Dr. Khlief for DiffE. He's a funny teacher who's also helpful. The class can be kinda boring..but his tests are really EASY as long as you do ur hwks &"understand" them. I got an easy A in his class, just by keepin' up hwks and notes. God

He was the best professor I have had! He takes the time to learn his students names and is always willing to help. All you need to do is do your homework and try. He speaks lightly so sit toward the front of the class.

Ahhh! Do the homework, fail the tests, get discouraged and then pray for a curve. He's helpful if he knows you try but still hard to follow. He may be better at upper level classes but lower level material is just too easy for him to be able to explain it
