Comment:
Safadi puts in effort to make 204 lecture, which can at times be a little dry, funny and engaging. Although tests are hard, you are allowed to bring 8.5"x11" cheat sheets, and he is very accessible outside of class via email and office hours. Homework is reasonable--usually about 10 book problems a week. Hard class but great professor!

Very kind, funny, genuine professor that ensures all his students understand the material. Very helpful in office hours and over email. Exams are straightfoward and very similar to homework and practice problems, not hard to get A. Most enjoyable engineering professor I've had at USC. If only he taught more classes.

Homework is manageable and helps a lot on the midterms and final. Midterms and final are easy because they are literally homework problems. Got a B- because I made silly mistakes on my midterm. Could've gotten A- in the class easily. No quizes

One of the best professors I've had. Will take as much time with you as you need to understand a concept. Homework assignments can be challenging but he is always available for office hours. Does tons and tons of examples in class that will clarify the topics. Highly recommend him. GET IN HIS CLASS.

Previously dropped 201 because of a bad prof, but Safadi is amazing! He's pretty funny and makes sure everyone in the class knows what's happening. Not too much homework. His test have some weird questions on them but nothing brand new so just really need to study. Need the book for hw problems, but Safadi does solving a different way than the book

His lectures were pretty interesting and he covers everything you need to know in class. There is a solution manual for most of the problems but try to do them on your own and it'll be a relatively easy A

Easily the most helpful professor I have had at USC. While attendance to class is not mandatory, he spends the whole time doing practice problems after shortly and concisely explaining topics. Take him for ANY AME class at USC and you will be happy you did. Also in office hours he will work through any problem you want with you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great teacher, goes over very similar examples many times so that they are understood. Tests are very fair asking you about things that you actually learned. Very helpful in office hours as well. Fairly dry, but the class is "Strength of Materials," so I'm sure its tough to make it anything but. Overall-great professor
