An incredible professor, and even a better human being. I'm eternally grateful for his help, enthusiasm, and his love and care for me as a person. He is and will always be my Egyptian Dad. His impact in my personal and professional life has been everlasting. I love this man. He is a genuine, caring, and a masterful teacher.

Comment:
Prof Massoud is the bomb! He's the nicest person you can ever meet! But beware of his classes, they're tough!! You need to work at least 12-15 hours every single week without a midterm or the final. Past papers help, but he's still tough! His accent may be difficult to understand, and he talks fast, but is extremely patient!

Comment:
In class professor Massoud is great! He clearly understands the material and explains it well, but when it comes to test he can be unfair. There will be aspects to questions that would have not been addressed. Also, MAKE SURE TO GET OLD TESTS! He midterms and final are from prior years.

Massoud is not only the best professor at CMC, but he is also a loving father figure to his students in the very best way. The man has been so inspirational, encouraging and caring; more than any professor possibly could. He really respects you unlike any other. Take Massoud or miss out on the best

Put in the work, and getting the A is no big deal. The people who say Massoud is hard are the people that don't try at all. He's a legend for a reason. He CARES about his students more than any prof at CMC, and he will do whatever it takes to make sure you succeed if you truly want to. TAKE HIM (if you can get in, which is tough)

MASSOUD IS BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR AT CMC! TAKE HIS CLASS! Some people may find it challenging at first, but after a few weeks the content starts to make sense, especially with Massoud's amazing lectures. You won't regret taking him (and the other Profs. in the accounting department do not even come close).

He cares more about his students and making sure we actually LEARN the material than any other teacher I can imagine. He puts in so much work to help us, that said he expects us to do the same. If you don't work hard, you WON'T do well in this class. So much material, and he expects you to know it well, but he is VERY HELPFUL AND GREAT at teaching.

Very great professor, extremely helpful, makes sure all students understand material, office hours are always open, and always wants to help his students outside of class in finding internships or other opportunities

Probably the most approachable and helpful professor I've had at CMC. He makes sure you understand the material. He's tough (most of my class got less than a B on the second midterm), but you learn a lot. Take Massoud if you can.

Comment:
Despite the great reviews, I think Massoud sucks. Can't understand his accent or read his writing, he plays favorites, rewards people simply for stroking his massive ego, encourages people to ask questions, only to openly criticize questions he thinks are dumb, and doesn't actually listen to students' questions...I could go on but I don't have room

Comment:
Massoud is a legendary professor at CMC, but he's not for everyone. He designs the course so that almost everyone fails the second midterm, but he always curves it out in the end, and if you go to his office hours a few times and work with him, it's very easy to get on his good side and make things easier. Be prepared to do a lot of work though.

Massoud is a legend, and pretty much the reason I came to CMC. He's one of the hardest professors in the RDS but always fair, and you can go and talk to him about anything. The man has a memory unlike anyone I've ever met before. If you work hard and ask him for help, you can do decently well. Definitely worth taking a class with him.

Comment:
If you are taking accounting as a any major other than econ/accounting, take someone else. While Massoud is encouraging and friendly (and EXTREMELY) caring, he will get upset if you miss one class and he is more difficult than the average student will make use of.

A very dedicated professor, he will make accounting much clearer and more interesting than an average professor. A lot of hype about this professor, but he lives up to most of it. Would definitely recommend this guy.
