Comment:

REALLY AWFUL. Seems like a very intelligent person, but a very poor teacher. Hard to understand and thinks everyone should already know what he is teaching. Feels no need to explain and almost makes you feel stupid if you ask for explaination

I went to bed one night and had a nightmare that I was in this class with the "Al-Khafaji". When I awoke I realised this nightmare was a terrible reality. Fate dealt me a cruel hand when I landed a$$ backwards into his class. Passing his class is like accomplishing throwing a bird of a cliff. Don't waste your brain cells trying to comprehend. BOOO

Bravery in anoniminity. It is none of your business what his office looks like or that he wears a hearing aid. I do admit he is a horrible teacher, but deal with it. Complain to the head of the math dept. and in the mean time teach yourself. Your in college for God's sake you have a book - read it!

I am sure that this man is senile. He confuses himself and gets his own example problems wrong. He is also almost deaf and wears hearing aids. His office is a mess and he will lose your stuff! I hear he may be retiring, but who knows? We actually complained to the head of the math department (Which was useless). Avoid this class!

This is not a good class at all I have to withdraw just to keep my grades up. We don't ever use a text book. He goes from one subject to the next. Do not take this class it's not worth having to almost fail this class. He can not teach at all he doesn't even know how to use excel or reply to you on the internet.

Nice old man, but a horrible professor. He gets confused on simple problems, and everytime you get a score back on the same math problem, its always marked wrong, even when you write what he told you to write last time. Out of two classes, the highest test score was a 66%! thats the highest! Impossible to pass with an A or B!

Comment:

Although he seems to be a very nice man, he is a horrible professor. He knows the material very well, but does not relay it to the students very well. I'm in Elementary Linear Algebra and we haven't had any homework, just 6 quizzes and a few tests. They aren't very hard if you teach yourself the material.

This man is completely useless. I went in to ask about where my grade was before the final exam, and he told me, "Uh, I don't know at this time, I moved your papers around, and you know as much as I do." So I think for the final grades, he packed all of our names in a cannon, and shot them at a bullseye to decide grades. Awful professor.

Don't believe all these reviews. He is a nice guy who teaches well. And this class is interesting. Just don't say things to him like "this is on the test but you didn't teach it". Do your homework and study for the test. Don't be like a 6th grader asking to know everything that will be on the test. You are an adult now. Study and you will do well!

Absolutely horrible professor. Does not teach at all so be prepared to learn from the book. He even has trouble with some of the problems and takes about 10 minutes trying to figure it out on the board. Does not follow his syllabus at all so be prepared for random quizzes and exams out of the ble. i strongly recommend you do not take him

Seriously he is the worst prof that i have ever had. You can't understand him, he mumbles when he lectures, he doesn't tell you what you are going over. You must be able to teach everything to yourself and prepare to be in the math lab A LOT. I'm not kidding don't take this professor. switch out as fast as you can.

Horrible professor. Barely assigns homework, never collects it or goes over it in class. Tests way too long to complete. Class was probably not difficult, but due to his poor teaching skills, it was very hard and frustrating. I do NOT reccomend this teacher. I am a 3.8GPA student and I recieved a C+ in this class.

Comment:

Didn't like this guy at all! His teaching method is he wants you to read the book to learn everything. Who reads a book to learn math? I've always needed to be shown how to. Also, goes over things in class, but sometimes puts much more difficult problems on the tests. Would not recommend to anyone, unless you like teaching yourself.
