Comment:

His lectures are hard to understand because he has a thick accent and his handwriting is not legible. The homework isn't too bad, but the tests do not follow the homework. The tests are very difficult and do not expect a curve. I think he would be perfectly fine failing every student in the class. He doesn't check attendance, but gives pop quizzes.

Comment:

I was maintaining a 4.0 g.p.a until i met this guy. DO NOT TAKE HIM. If you do,then make sure your g.p.a is at high risk.Infact, you are dead! The issue with him is tht his lecture is not consistent with hw and hw is not AT ALL consistent with exams. Exams are damn hard.

Comment:

Took him for discrete math 1. I understand accents well, I do fine in 8:30am classes, but he is a terrible teacher. He goes over proofs, one easy example and then the rest are hard. Tests are those where if you haven't figured out tricks from studying the homework like no tomorrow, you are out of luck. Take Farage. Your welcome.

Comment:

Professor impossible to understand, assigns stuff at random. Forces us to go over accreditation requirements instead of giving us time to work on the project he assigned. Would not want him for a class that was core to my major.

Comment:

This man is a useless professor. He cares little for his students grades and less for the material he teaches. His tests are crazy to. On one students exam he took of 20 points because he didn't answer a question to the same level he answered a previous question even though it was more then other students who got full credit had done. Avoid him.

do. not. take. him. he doesn't show interest in the students' grades. his tests are ridiculously hard. he doesn't convey the material well. the only way i got the homework done was by looking at the back of the book. you might as well sleep through his class because you won't gain anything by being attentive.

Comment:

He has an pretty bad accent, does not take attendance but has popquizes that are 20% of your grade. Most of his examinations require you to do something that has never been shown before in the lecture or in the homework

If you have to take this class, and he is the only class open, and the other two classes are full, and you need this class to graduate, and you HAVE to take this man or wait a semester...EVEN THEN do not take this class, do not take this man, wait! I'm serious!

Comment:

It is nearly impossible to prepare well for his exams. Neither his practice exam or the assigned homework covered all the terms and ideas in the exam. With such a huge distribution of material, you must diligently read each chapter to succeed. He also has horrible hand-writing, his English lacks logic, and he cannot express complex ideas.

Comment:

He expects you to make huge leaps of intuition at exam time, so even if you understood the lecture you might fail the tests, which only have a few questions. If you take his class be prepared to spend a lot of time studying, and be careful, your GPA might suffer.

He helps provide a useful foundation for testing concepts and even gives out past exams to aid students in their studies. These sample exams were very useful in exam preparation.

Comment:

This is the worst professor I ever had. He is not clear about ANYTHING including (class lecture + project). His grading policy is unfair (50% -70% of people get a C, 1 to 2 people (out of 70 people) get an A. His exams are absolutely impossible to finish.
