Comment:

He is a very fair man. The set up of the class was not ideal for me but, it was pretty much a review of concepts J had already learned in high school. Just show up, actually do your work on time and you will definitely end with an A or a B.

Comment:

Do not come into this class expecting to just breeze through it. It takes time and effort to get through it. If you follow the outline as he lays it out, you will do great, don't put this class off to the last minute as there is a lot of things due every week. Stay on top of things, ask for help, respect him and he will give you the time of day.

Class is once a week but be sure to get your work done early outside off class. Its not hard, just time consuming unless a topic is more difficult. It is not difficult to get a good grade, just be sure to get your work done well and do the required assignments. Baghzali himself lays out info clearly and expects you to pay attention, just do it.

Mohamed is a VERY serious man when it comes to his class. There is a TON of homework every single week, and you cannot turn in your notebook pages outside of class. Show up to class!! You are not passing his class if you skip!!! The only nice thing about his class is that he gives some extra credit & gets rid of 1 bad score from each category

He made it possible for me to pass math 98 the second time around. If you struggle with math like myself, he is a great professor for that.

Math Emporium required 1-2 hrs a week. Teacher is super willing to help you at any time, if you put in the effort so does he. Don't get me wrong, this class is hard and you will fail if you don't show up for class and do the simple things like your note pages. Homeworks are long anywhere from 50-80 questions every week.

Comment:

I really liked the structure of this class and it helped me learn the material a lot. Some people don't like him, but it is usually the people that don't try or do their homework, and they can never take the blame of their actions so they have to put it on the prof lol. He cares about his students and gives extra credit points which help a lot.

Comment:

This class is set up to make you work. It has a lecture once a week where you review the past week's tougher material and briefly go over what is to come in the following week. He is a good lecturer but dislikes when students are distracted in class. He sent multiple students out for being on phones during class. Do the notes and homework.

Mohamed is honestly a great professor. He gives you all the resources you could possibly get to pass this class. In this class you have everything you need to pass. If you fail your probably just lazy and not willing to put in the effort.

I would say that hes the best professor Ive had at NDSU but considering that this university is just flooded with terrible professors left and right, that really wouldnt be saying a whole lot now would it

Comment:

Forget the negative comments about this professor, they are very inaccurate. He cares more about his students and their success than any other professor. Of course students who take his class and don't do the work will not like him. If you care to learn, you will appreciate what he has to offer. Do not be blaming him when you are not studying!

Comment:

I took this class online and it was the hardest math class I have EVER taken. I am good at math, and his math class was something from another world because I did not understand any of it. His tests are very hard and nothing like his homework. I did all my homework and studied hard. If math is not your strong suit, I would NOT recommend him.

He cares a lot about how well students due and is always reminding class of his office hours for extra help. I haven't been in school for 4 years and I can say he does a damn good job explaining everything. Stick to the course calendar and you can't go wrong. Do everything you need to do and you'll do great.

Being that we only met once a week, professor Baghzali was really good at introducing a week's worth of work in 50 minutes. He cracks jokes a lot in class. Really helpful at answering questions and very accessible outside of class.

Comment:

Good teacher, seems strict at first but if you get to know him he is nice. Class meets once a week, may seem pointless but be sure to attend, occasionally gives extra credit and take attendance. Notebook pages are collected in class, you will not receive credit if you do not stay for the whole class. I highly recommend "live lectures" with him.

Comment:

103 is a hard class. However, Baghzali gives you plenty resources in order to learn it. If you're willing to work for the subject, he makes it easy to study. He is a bit strict. If he sees you on your phone in class he will send you out. He has also sent two students out for excessive talking after warning them. Not for students who don't care.

Comment:

Baghzali is a caring professor if you are not a slacker. If you put in the time and actually do the assignments there shouldn't be a problem getting an A. Dont use your phone in class he will kick you out. He gives you 10 attempts on every quiz and 3 attempts on every test except for the in class tests. There is no reason to do bad in this class.

Comment:

Math98 was way too difficult of a class to not be given credit for. Do not take this class online you will do everything yourself with no help from him. For reference I had a C in this class and had an A in Math104 with another prof.
