Comment:

Had her before and during covid, so we went to online classes for the rest of the semester back in March. Doesn't save her lectures online so you cant access them later because "you have to be here" (which is completely unfair because of emergency). Does not explain things well, if you ask a lot of questions she gets impatient and upset.

One of the few teachers I have not liked at my time at nova, would not recommend very disorganized lectures and tests unlike no other. Save yourself and Take someone else :)

Comment:

she's an okay teacher. online lectures were a bit hard to understand, but she did her best. I really appreciate Professor Gamgoum's efforts to teach us the material even though the transition from in class to online has been a little tough for everyone. MyMathLab was very helpful and gave explanations on how to solve each problem.

Comment:

I am currently in Prof. Gamgoum's MTH245 class during the COVID-19 Pandemic. She has handled it much better than all the other profs I currently have. She is passionate about statistics and if you are willing to learn and be curious then you will succeed in her class. There are no free-bees with Prof. Gamgoum but you will pass if you try.

Comment:

Took her during the COVID-19 Pandemic she has a big language barrier and if you asked questions you got more confused. After we switched to online classes it got worse and it was clearly shown she wasn't prepared. All the bad stuff she shows made it even worse I learned more on my own than by her She is a nice person but not a good professor at all

Comment:

Had taken an online statistics class, and it was the most horrible class Ive ever taken. I got a D which is far away from As that I had in every other class. There is no explanation or help, just read the textbook and hope to pass the exam. No chance to make up for missing homework and that effects your test more since there is no other way learn

Comment:

The class is MTH 245, not 242. English is not her first language, hence; you'll have to be patient, ask her to repeat once more, or inquire her after class. Attendance is a must, never be late. You'll pass. She cares that her students want to pass this class. Majority of the tests and quizzes were online. Final is in person.

Comment:

Her teaching style is disorganized and contradicts herself all the time. She would walk in late to class and makes us stay an extra 5 to 10 minutes after regularly. Her handouts are very confusing and not organized at all. Her MYStat lab quizzes were hard even if you put a couple hours of studying before. Had to self teach the material. AVOID!

Comment:

She's a very nice and caring professor if you engage her. She's always willing to stay after class with you if you need extra help. She DOES NOT tolerate tardiness, but overall she's great and offers extra credit. If you're not willing to put in the work, don't take her Made stats fun for me, but she does speed through her lectures so pay attention

Comment:

Frequently contradicts herself on terminologies & lacks ability to explain concepts she introduces or to convey clear instructions for major projects, but gets dismissive or confrontational when asked for clarification. Constant calculation errors in handouts & powerpoints. Changes test dates from syllabus, forgets to upload learning material.

Comment:

I'll just say this. If you care to learn anything, If you care about your grades, please, don't take this prof. This is the most frustrating experience I've had at NOVA. There something that needs to be done about mediocre teaching style, changed due dates mid-course and the lack of involvement. I experienced all this and am very unhappy.

Comment:

She is by far the most disorganized professor I've ever had. Not only does she walk in 15-20 minutes late every class period and doesn't start teaching until 15 after, she also managed to put our class so far behind in what we should be learning that we now have 4 chapters including tests, quizzes and ALOT of HW to catch up on in the next 3 weeks!!

Comment:

Very hard to understand lectures and wastes a lot of class time with her attempt to use technology. Test dates are changed around and not followed by the syllabus. She could be stubborn if you ask her questions and ask her to explain in further detail.

Very hard to understand because of the language barrier. She would speed through lectures without clearly explaining the material. When answering questions she would confuse you more.

Comment:

Would not recommend taking her class if you are the type of learner who likes things to be broken down. Prof. Gamgoum rushed through material & made it difficult to ask questions. She would make you feel stupid for even asking. I had to seek tutors & teach myself the material. She uses ppts to teach material, had 3 exams & one final.

Comment:

I legitimately am not sure this person is an actual teacher, on multiple occasions she couldn't do basic addition and couldn't walk students through using the calculator properly either. She also actually walked out for about half an hour during the final exam, I didn't even know that could happen. I wouldn't trust her to teach me basic math.

Comment:

She is very rude to students. She laughs and thinks she's being funny and lighthearted I guess but she brings up personal conversations between student and teacher in front of the entire class. She's also very stubborn and unorganized. Reads from her powerpoint a lot. Her exams were pretty easy if you knew the material but she's just a mean person.

Comment:

MTH 246 -She is very knowledgable about statistics but a very poor teacher, has trouble listening to what students say and typically talks over them when they ask questions. Very rarely answers the question you asked. Is very bad at having a discussion she is the perfect example of the talking to a brick wall analogy.

Comment:

Literally the worst professor you could possibly take. All she does is read off a powerpoint. You basically have to teach yourself the course. While teaching she tends to yell at random times, thinking that it will somehow make us understand the content more. She is very rude to students, and does a very poor job answering questions.
