Comment:

3 exams, all in CASA. 6 quizzes on pearson, 2 are dropped. 12 glm and 2 are dropped as well. It doesn't matter which professor you take as it is all standardized. The class is an easy A, but even if you slack off you can still make a B or so (my case). His lectures are boring and most students stopped attending by the third class.

Comment:

Study the power point slides, BEWARE OF THE SECOND EXAM if you are doing this as a short session. He didnt give a review and everyone studied the practice quiz and majority scored low in this one. He likes to make the class fun, make sure you show up to class and pay attention, take note on how he solves the problems, in class reviews are helpful!

Comment:

Nice guy, always wants you to smile. It's so easy to zone him out because the material is boring. I honestly would've received an A if i hadn't zoned out each class. Pay attention(especially when he reviews for the exam!!), study the powerpoints, do the handouts he gives out (PAY ATTENTION WHEN HE SOLVES THEM!!) & you will do great.

I'm not sure what happened between all his previous courses and this semester but I loved him. I do not ever go to any of my classes and I went to his the most even though it wasn't required. He likes to joke around and wants everyone to smile. Never got below a B on any graded assignment, only studied the day before. 3 tests, 3 quizzes, group prj

100% THE WORST CLASS AND PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN IN MY COLLEGE CAREER. Nice guy but spends class going over stuff that doesn't matterwon't be on the test. I read all the chapters, went over the packets, & my highest exam grade was a 78. He is the worst. You go through the exam thinking you got a 95 and click to see your grade and it's a 65.

Comment:

Possibly the worst professor I have had. Exams and quizzes don't reflect what is taught in class. Even though the book is never referenced, more comes from that than the lecture. He is very disrespectful to students and doesn't like to answer questions. Attendance is not required, but he will call you out if you miss class. Avoid if you can.

Comment:

He is the worst professor I have EVER had. He does not properly teach the class, and he does not give proper help when exam time comes around. The class I had with him got a 58 average on the test. He is very rude as well. If you don't attend class he yells at you and humiliates you. Awful professor.

Comment:

I am in his classes now at KFUPM. He tries to give some jokes just to take your attention. However, the course with him is not hard, but requires an intensive preparation before each exam. He is a bit generous in grading presentations as long as you adhere to what he wants.

Comment:

Funny guy, very sweet. Tries to keep the class engaged despite fairly dry material. Took him in a summer course and he kept up very well; doesn't always cover all the definitions needed for the exam, though, and the text is sometimes ambiguous. Tempting to zone out in class... DON'T! Do the work and the A will follow. Don't be shy asking for help!

Comment:

Material is somewhat difficult to understand. Dr. K tries his best to keep you awake but the material is just too boring. Either Dr. K or Wayhan will do a review before each exam, just go to it and its an easy A!

Comment:

He tries to make the class interesting, and sometimes it helps you stay awake in his class. Materials consist of concepts and calculations. Calculations are definitely doable, but too much concepts to worry about. It might seem that there are only 3 chapters, but there are tons of information. Most people recommend Wayhan.

Comment:

not that bad of a teacher bc its the material thats difficult but i feel wayhan is the better teacher from him subbing a couple times. so take wayhan. definately go to class bc the material is not self explanatory and the book is fill in the blank. check with past book editions for repeat homework questions.

Comment:

He's a very good teacher and enthusiastic about the material. He tries not to bore you with comic relief and sometimes it actually works. Just work hard on the hw and pay attention in class, and guaranteed at least B+. But you must go to class in order to pass the class because the textbook is half empty.

Terrible professor. He is hard to understand. He wants everyone to laugh at him. He doesn't teach the material very well and he gets off topic often.

Comment:

Dr. K is a great teacher, it's just the material that is difficult. Definitely GO TO CLASS, because otherwise your book will be useless. He's very funny and very energetic. We had a sub a few days (Murray?) that put me to sleep. This is a very boring class so Dr. K's enthusiasm was greatly appreciated.

Comment:

Class is difficult b/c it's boring. Dr. K tells wack jokes. Book is left half empty so you have to go to class to fill in the stuff. Take Wayhan, he's more straight to the point. I would take Murray after him then Dr. K last.

Wow. Somewhat difficult class, but if you enjoy math it's pretty fun. Probably my favorite class of the semester. However, it is a LOT of work! I would 100% recommend Khumawala, though. He taught it well and made it much easier to understand
