Comment:

He is horrible. He does not teach you valuable information. He makes questions on tests worth a ton of points and does not give partial credit. He wastes your time in class but you have to go because he gives random quizzes. Do not take him if you have other options.

Overall, this is one of the hardest classes I've ever and probably will ever take. He's more than willing to work with you to help to the best of his ability. He's not the best with the statistics material, but as I said, he's there to help. Just approach him separately.

Comment:

Honestly this guy gets bad reviews, but in comparison to my friends' stats professors, i would take Dhaher. You can actually understand him which is good however sometimes his lectures can be confusing. If you stay up to date on the homework you should be okay on the exams. Not a horrible class and i hate math

By far the worst professor i've ever had. Does not explain anything in class, the TA's sometimes don't even know what he is asking us to do on the classwork. The textbook is never used, but I would recommend buying it because I had to teach myself all of the material before the exams using the book.

Teaches the wrong things, and doesn't even explain what he is teaching. Pretty sure he was thrown into this, and his TAs do all the work.

Super tough course and when you email him with questions he sends you to somebody else and is not willing to help. I would avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Would not recommend.. Just rambles about random things, then you do worksheets, that you never go over, don't seem to be on anything relevant, and don't seem to be graded. Take quizzes over what you're suppose to read almost daily. There are quizzes over a few sections every couple of weeks. Homework every class on mylabsplus.

I had him 100% online and went to math tutoring every week and I was fine. He immediately responded to my emails and is super nice. Highly recommend taking his online class. He even rounded my grade for me :) Two homeworks per week and a test here and there through Proctoru.

Comment:

You have two assignments every week, and they tell you how to do it. It's not too hard if you enjoy math and have motivation. I always went to tutoring the week of exams for a little extra help with the things I didn't remember how to do, but it's not too terrible if you can sit down for an hour a week and do it.

Comment:

This was possibly the worst class I've taken during university. He doesn't allow students to take notes on computers during class, and lectures by drawing arrows and various numbers on a sheet of paper. I spent most of the class pretty lost, and youtube had to be my professor. Assigned seats, group work, and daily quizzes. Would not suggest.

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory, although not for any good reason. He teaches how to use the calculator, but not the material. There were a lot of group assignments, although they did not help prepare you for the tests and quizzes as much as the homeworks. I did not use the book, but I did do a lot of googling.

Comment:

Yaser is one of my favorite people, however it does not necessarily translate into being a great teacher. He clearly loves and is passionate about math, but at times is confusing with his lectures. Other times he is spot on and can really help you remember difficult concepts. It was hit or miss some days, but his good days outnumber the bad ones.

Comment:

He messes up on his notes sometimes, students tend to have to correct him. Seems to confuse himself on certain topics. Homework is optional, only posted sometimes (this is where your book comes in). He cracks jokes sometimes to keep the mood lighthearted. I would recommend taking advantage of tutoring options.

You basically do not take notes. He is of no help. I have him for Statistics and if it wasn't for my tutor that I see twice a week I would be failing. If you get him as a professor, transfer immediately. Good luck teaching yourself.

Do not take math concepts with him, he is so confusing and tests were very unfair. The course is already hard enough, he does not help.

Comment:

Doesn't teach for the most part. Messes up on homework constantly which makes it hard to grasp the ideas. Seems to not really care whether the students do good or bad in the class. Tests are homework questions, but his grading is inconsistent so if you feel that you deserve more credit on a certain question, it's probably because you do. Avoid him.
