Comment:

I wanted to like Prof. Nazir. In person he is a charismatic person, and a pretty okay teacher. In homework in blackboard, he is a cold-hearted man. He is never, ever clear in the homework, and sometimes it seems like he intentionally confuses you so you spend 3-4 hours doing his homework only for him to give you a 50 and say "read the assignment".

Comment:

It's very clear he wants the students to succeed, it's also clear he has every good intention to help us. However, I can't say in good faith he does the greatest job explaining things. CIS 102-Intro to Computer Programming required a lot of outside help to pass. He is VERY wordy. Coding homework aren't covered in our lessons or books.

Comment:

He is the only professor I have that grades on attendance. Even though he knows that a lot of people know most everything in the class. He even releases a lot of the work a head of time so you can finish it weeks ahead. Which I don't understand that if you already finish the work why you have to come to the lecture.

He is great as a person and mentor. Super encouraging and nice. However, his work and tests are terrible. The amount of homework you have to do for one section is horrendous. Tests have very low averages as well. This class is time consuming because of all of the homework

Taking 5 classes is hard, so careful taking math! All assignments are due to the end of each month. It is very challenging when taking those classes you have. It is not an easy class, lectures are okay if you understand math. Those who do not or don't like math, CAREFUL! Hw is decent.

Comment:

I took an online class (precalc) and I taught myself, essentially. He's easy to reach for any questions and responds quickly and tries his best to help. I like the layout of the homework. The tests are easy enough and there are two attempts at each, which is great because the tests count for 75% of the grade. Overall, a decent teacher.

Comment:

He is not a good professor at all, his teaching method is horrendous. The way he grades is very difficult to be able to get past. The only good thing about his is he decided to drop lowest test score..... this was due to the majority of the class failing.

I have always been terrible at math, then I took Mr. Abudiab and he was great and made math much more simple! He is a great teacher and an even better person. Very caring and very accessible outside of class. I highly recommend him. Great guy.

Prof. Abudiab is fantastic! This class was challenging enough to be interesting, but not so hard that it's stressful. Mr. Abudiab is VERY accessible and really wants you to succeed. He's also encouraging and kind. Anytime I had any sort of question or problem he worked with me till it was fixed. He's even offered to help in the future with C++!

He's a good teacher, but sometimes goes off on tangents about his stories or how the math applies, but all in all it's mostly an online class if you take him face to face.

Mr. Abudiab is an excellent teacher! I have always struggled in math. Mr. Abudiab is very caring and always gives opportunity for extra credit. If you show up to class, and show him that you are really trying, there is no way you will fail. I made an A in the course and can't remember the last time I have done this well in a math course!

Really respectful and helpful teacher to have! He works on everyone schedule and helping people to understand how to do problems. His homework are interesting, sometimes not taught in lessons, but maybe easy for some people. He's a fun guy. You just have to understand math, or else you'll be lost. Recommended this teacher for Finite Math.

Mr. Abudiab was always available for any and all questions I had. He even called me on the phone to go over a homework question I had. I was able to email him Programming assignments to look over before I turned them in. He truly wants to see his students do well in his class and it shows!

Comment:

I found Mr. Nizar to be awesome at the beginning of the semester. He gives a reference sheet for every test, however, he doesn't allow calculators. The first test was easy, and after that it was down hill all semester. He got to the point where he didn't allow questions, wouldn't help a student and would not fix any of him mistakes in lectures.

Mr Abudiab is one of the best teachers to take. Willing to help, always giving inspirational emails to students and is always available. He is the type of teacher that students come back to visit after they graduate. He is fair, lays everything out in chronological order, and was a great online class; always in touch with his students.

Comment:

He was not a good teacher, He made math so hard to understand. He tried to teach too many new lessons in one class period. I have to retake math 100 because of him. And when I tried to go to his office for help he acted like he couldn't help me. I also work with the disability services and I have to have certain accommodations and he didn't care.
