Comment:

This had been one of the toughest and worst math classes I have ever taken. Teacher rushes through lectures and takes few questions. He also grades very specifically, even on homework ! I have lost probably a few years of my life because of this class. Save yourself the pain.

Comment:

In lecture I often felt he didnt even know what he was teaching. His exams had a class average of around 50. Im really good at math and struggled to even get a B. I would never recommend him. He is very rude to the students who ask questions or needed extra help (even in front of all the other students which is unprofessional). Run far from him.

Comment:

This was probably the worst class I have ever taken. This professor is SO inconsiderate and not very helpful. He would get angry at students for asking questions. Also he makes you do SO much homework but only collects about 4 assignments. If you like Sensitive realistic professors don't take this class.

Comment:

Do not take his class if math is not your thing. He is not undertsanding and unaproachable. He is not trying to help the students pass. Hated his class and barely passed even though I have all A's in my other classes.

Loved this class. I was worried to come back to math after so many years. Prof A was very helpful, answered all the questions. He is very demanding so be prepared to participate. Honestly, if you do the hw and understand the lectures, you will have no problems passing this class.

Comment:

Disappointing to say least. Class was cancelled often for our class and the lectures were very unorganized. Prof didnt seem too knowledgeable of the material which was worrisome. He was a nice guy who cared, but he couldnt articulate material to the students. I ended up dropping and others as well. I suggest taking a different Professor.

Loved him. When he teaches you just understand. He makes you work hard but I needed that. He asks lots of questions in class and expects you to answer so participate as much as you can.

Comment:

So i had to work my asymptote to pass this calculus course. I didnt take calculus in highschool so i pretty much had to learn on my own since no study guides are given. Beware of popquizzes, lectures are fastpaced but his tests are not hard. Make sure you watch youtube videos (organic chemistry tutor) lol before his class. My grades improved.

Comment:

The professor was not terrible. You can tell he enjoys teaching math, but only to people who actually understand it. His patience his very short when you cannot grasp a concept. More than half of the class was failing desperately failing and motivation was easily lost on both sides (class and professor). No calculator and lots of homework.

Comment:

I hadn't done any type of algebra in 20 years so I was extremely nervous. I'm so thankful for Prof. A. because I learned alot from him. He explains rules & terms so you can understand them (bank account is an example) There's alot of HW assigned, but that helps u understand how to do the problems. Don't miss class! I'll take him again for math

Professor Alemansour was an amazing teacher for Math 351. do all of your homework and you'll do well on your exams. exams were not difficult if you paid attention in class and took good notes. He was excellent at explaining I don't know why people are complaining about his accent he did well. I recommend him he was awesome.

Comment:

Do not expect an A in the class. prof teaches out of the textbook, but homework is out of another textbook you dont even have access to and the tests are from the text book he has. if u work hard u can pull out a B. The tests are nearly impossible to get higher than a B. glhf

Comment:

He teaches so well and makes sure you understand what hes teaching. He always asks the class if they have any questions. The only downside is that there is a lot of homework and its all online. The homeworks are graded for points so if you want a good score you have to get the answers on homework correct. All his tests are multiple choice :)

Comment:

Listen, I took professors class for math 351 and 353. If you struggled with math all your life like how I did, this professor is the holy grail. He will explain until you understand and is very caring. He does assign a lot of homework, but its worth it because it raises your test scores if you complete it, making it impossible to fail!

Math is not a strong subject for me. Great teacher. wants class participation. Encourages lots of questions-Ask Ask Ask he will answer them, no matter how dumb it may be. He wants you to understand the subject. Math is a hard subject for me. Went from the F group to my Final as a C. Woo Hoo ! yeah. Lots of Homework. Do homework. U will Pass.

Comment:

I dislike math, but loved taking Professor Alemansour. He teaches by doing the textbook examples on the board, and you will pick up the concepts easily if you follow along. Pretty decent amount of homework. Does not post grades often. I found him to be hilarious and very helpful. Take him!
