Very, very solid teacher. Clearly layed out the material in class and gave good lectures. Worksheets he gave out were extremely useful. Good class, would recomment for stats. DO NOT buy the textbook, we never use it.

Comment:

Zaki has a thick accent that can be hard to understand, but he does care for his students. The homework is usually a simple 4 or 5 question worksheet, but tests are much longer. It is extremely boring and he is very specific on how he wants his final answers written so pay attention to that.

Comment:

Zaki is not a bad professor. Sometimes can be boring and sometimes will give you curveballs on the test, but much easier than the other econometrics professors. I had him for statistics also and I liked him. Hes kind of funny and gives a low work load, as long as you pay attention and show up to class its pretty easy to get at least a B.

Comment:

Take him for econometrics. Really easy class if you pay attention, we got out an hour early every class. Homework once a week. Everything is open book, just pay attention to his lectures and participate when he asks questions and you should get at the minimum a B+

Comment:

I'm currently taking Zaki's class, and it's the worst. The classwork and homework are WAY easier than the tests. Even though he gives you the formulas, the tests are still insanely hard. Everyone bombed our second test, and he only curved the grades of those who got around a 50%. Just wants to up his average grades. Doesn't care about helping us.

Comment:

Easy for being a math class. Four tests and a final. All tests are multiple choice. He drops your lowest test score. Grade is solely based on how well you did on the tests. I suggest taking him.

Zaki is alright. Not great, but certainly much better than the bad professors of the econ department. His lecture are not amazing, but decent. You will some useful material. His class is challenging but not ridiculous. He knows his stuff.

The Material is sort of boring, but Zaki relates it to current events and keeps you intrigued. Study Guides given, so STUDY them it helps a lot. you can visit his office with any questions and/or email him. I'm taking another class with him. Funny Guy

Comment:

I strongly dislike Professor Eusufzai. He's very arrogant and gets frustrated if you do not immediately grasp the concepts. The course work is very do-able and you should take notes everyday. You are given formula sheets for all the tests but he is not very helpful. He's so smart that it's hard for him to teach because he gets impatient.

Many people thought he was too hard, but I found his teaching style to be clear and informative. I definitely learned a lot, and although the tests and quizzes are moderately difficult, a good grade is definitely acheivable if you try.

Comment:

Dr. Zaki's teaching style is not only crystal clear, but his materails are extremly related to the current events. I took his 370 and 372 classes back to back, and I am telling you Dr. Zaki's class is probably the most enjoyable class I ever had. Take him, you won't regret.

Comment:

Not a very good teacher and not really clear. I understand it better when I just read the textbook. He does give you study guides and study questions before the quizes and exams that do help, and he does want you to do well.

Comment:

This is by far the worst class I've ever taken at LMU. The entire class of 8-9 people was forever lost & confused & Dr. Zaki was downright surly about stuff at times. Each test or quiz was a fight with him over what was taught prior to the exam and what wasn't. I found that studying didn't affect my grade at all. AVOID.

goes fast during lectures but knows the material and gives you the opportunity to write it all down, doesn't really attempt to make any connection with his students and a little unclear at times, however he does give you plenty of study guides and practice questions before the quizzes and tests which help alot

He is really easy and also really nice. If you read the textbook you are pretty much for sure getting an A. He also gives really extensive notes and study guides

Comment:

Worst teacher!Actually most of the quizzes were open book but that really didn't help anyone because the problems were just made harder to finish the midterm was take home and since everyone did well he decided never to do that again. He really didn't know the material very well, and you get punished for going to office hours (He's easily offended)
