Comment:

I regret taking this professor and not doing my research. The professor is rude and edgy. I got a C. He writes his own tests and are much more advanced than homework and lectures. He's intelligent and helps with using a TI 84. I took him for finite math, but will look for a different person for business calculus. He's a tough professor. Beware.

Comment:

Professor Zaid cares about his students, but he does not show mutual respect. If you do not mind when a professor skips steps then take him & just your "simple" questions to the tutor- or he may call you out for not studying enough- & do not offer any help if he gets stuck. The homework is online- not too long- & the tests are simple & very short.

He is a very knowledgeable professor and he explains hard math concepts very well. He spends time answering students questions. If you attend the class and dedicate time to study and do all the homework, you will be fine. He is one of the best math professors I've ever had. This course requires a lot of studying. Be prepared for homework.

WORST TEACHER EVER! he literally wants to fail his students. HW is INSANE! each exercise has 180 questions on connect math and he does not give marks on attempting. TOO MUCH HW! he literally skims through the chapters, would just explain an example per exercise and then you are on your own. you will regret taking him! I am taking the class again :@

Comment:

He is boring but easy. You will have 3 test, and he drops the lowest one. The test is almost the same with his review test, and the test is super easy. Extra credit if you do the practice test. Be honest, If you are good at math and want to get an A, take him. But if you really want to learn about statistic, don't take him.

Comment:

He is a good professor, doesnt rely on powerpoint, does everything by hand and explains everything clearly. He'll go over anything as many times as needed you just have to ask. One negative is that he doesnt reply to emails, but overall he is great at teaching. You can tell he is experienced and knows his material and he talks like Rocky Balboa :)

Definitely the professor to take If you want to take trigonometry. Basically gives examples for lecture and the review is basically the exam. Don't slack off study hard. Easy A+. Gives extra credit and webassign is given.

Comment:

He is very thorough and goes over every possible thing for the college algebra tests. Possible ten points EC per test. You take a computer practice test online for the points until you get all right (And the practice tests are almost identical to the tests!). There are also 2 written questions per test and he told us in class what they would be!

Comment:

He has a very thick accent, but he is a very kind person. Attendance isn't mandatory since the attendance poppers only count for a percentage of the grade. Also, he puts all of his lecture notes online after each class. Class is ONLY for lectures and attendance poppers. Every homework and quiz is online. The 5 Tests are proctored. Overall good guy.

Currently taking him for Finite Math 1313. At first he is hard to understand, accent is very thick & he speaks very fast, but you adjust as the semester goes. Notes are good, lectures are thorough, you have to keep up. Don't miss class. Everything on the test is taught in class. As long as you pay attention you'll be fine. Oh & ask questions.

taking his class at the moment. there are 5 tests throughout the semester. 1-2 homework assignments per week. quiz averages about 2 every 3 weeks. if you get an overall 80 you can skip the final. 10% of practice test grades will apply to the respective test. it was hard to understand his accent at first but it gets easier to understand

I've taken this professor twice for 1310 and 1313 and wouldn't have it any other way. Straight to the point teaching and knows what he is doing in teaching math. Don't be afraid to ask question or answer them in class you can only gain clarity by doing so

This professor had no idea what he was doing half the time in class. All we needed to do was learn what to plug into geogebra. Easy class but a bad teacher.

He is amazing!!!! Honestly I didn't attend like 8 classes and he dropped the 5 lowest attendance grades, The tests are easy and the video lectures in the text book helped alot. Basically just do your assignments, quizzes and pay attention in class.

This teacher is a bit confusing at first but once you get further into the semester he is amazing. Everything he discuss in class is relevant to quizzes and test. Poppers for this class are really easy and he explains everything. I would definitely recommend him

Comment:

He's a really good professor if you like seeing and example and working it out as a class to learn the concept. I am a visual learner so it helped me. All his notes are kept online so you can take them later on your own time if needed. I just didn't like how his accent was so strong that it was hard to understand him. Also he teaches at a fast pace
