Comment:

He is hilarious. Amazing prof, and the hardest thing you will sit through. He teaches trig, and calc in his algebra class on occasion so you can grasp concepts for later that may relate to each other. Explains why the math is relevant for work unlike most profs which is nice. 8 pages or more a night in work front and back. Yikes! Short 10Q tests.

Comment:

Best math teacher I've ever had. Keeps the atmosphere light in the classroom with lots of jokes and participation, explains concepts very clearly and cares about student understanding. Lots of homework but he gives you full credit as long as you do it at all and likes to round grades up on tests.

Comment:

He is by far one of the best math teachers I've ever had. He is super smart and genuinely cares about his students. He wants everyone in his class to succeed and he goes through the problems step by step and makes sure you understand them. He gives a lot of extra credit which pretty much bumps you up a letter grade. Not to mention he is funny too.

Comment:

do not take him. he assigns wayyy to much homework and his tests are insanely hard and have nothing to do with what he teaches. he expects everyone to be in class everyday and if you miss then hes dropping you. we started the class with 40 people and are down to about 18. he has a very heavy accent that is hard to understand and teaches too fast.

Comment:

He is one of my favorite professors I've taken at Palomar. He cares so much about his students and wants the best for all of them. He is willing to help you and go over the material. Doing all the homework will help you pass his test, plus he goes over any questions you have about the homework. If you get the chance to take him, do it !!

Comment:

Professor A is by far the most caring and respected professors at Palomar College. He really does care about his students. His lectures can be heavy but he does stop to help and gives extra credit. He gives a lot of homework but only because he wants to you to practice and get it. I really do recommend him.

Comment:

Professor A is by far my favorite professor I have currently. I've noticed a lot of people drop his class but as long as you always PAY ATTENTION and attend class, you'll be fine. Always ask questions if you're confused! Professor A cares a lot about his students and it shows. He does give a lot of homework, but it's manageable.

Comment:

He is truly an amazing person, and teacher but really isn't good at explaining things that math 15-50 explains. He is one of the hardest working people I know and I am very happy to have taken his class, but it's very hard and I don't recommend taking w/ a heavy load of classes. GOOD LUCK!

He's a polite and very well educated man. Beware! He's full of information and knowledge but assigns mountains upon mountains of homework. My class is Intermediate/advanced algebra and he assigns work like trigenometry. Makes you do every step and check everything with steps. Loong lectures. Easy to understand but the 150 questions a weekend? No ty

Comment:

Professor A is a very caring teacher. He tells you what to expect in the class. He doesn't give you study guides, but he does a few lectures before the exams telling you exactly what the exam will be like. If you show effort and work hard you will pass the class.

Prof A! He was hands down one of the best proff i've had at palomar! Yes, he may seem rude. Suck it up buttercup, it's called tuff love. He can really turn a boring class and make it fun! He does not give out study guides and the test are pretty tuff, he literally gives you what's going to be on the test. Do your hw, show up to class, he cares.

This was my first math class at palomar, and I really couldn't be more thankful that it was. He will make you work for your grade, but the study habits I formed from the class have helped tremendously. Made Calc2 a breeze.

He is a very encouraging teacher, who wants to help you understand. There is a lot of homework so if you aren't willing to put in the work for the grade then this class probably isn't for you. He really does care about you and your grade though which is very reassuring.

Comment:

If you are a person that procrastinate dont take his clases, otherwise, he is good. pay close attention because he will hint the exam questions BY REPEATING OR TAPPING THE BOARD. lots of hw. As expected. Math is practice practice practice anyway.

Comment:

Your grade is based on 3 exams and a final. COMPLETED homework gives you a +5 pt boost. Grades critically and doesn't post anything useful within Canvas. Has quizzes that counts towards the final. Expects you to master 110 and 115. Textbook is written in a way math majors understand. Don't take unless if you're LEGENDARY in mathematics.

Comment:

Ill be honest, I suck at math. Theres 3 Exams and a final, but the final is basically two tests in one. Pretty tough grader. Theres TONS of hw. Hw is due on test days. If youre constantly late or leave early he WILL mark you absent/drop you. He explains fairly well but I just need a slower paced class. If youre confident in math take him.

Comment:

Math 140 was the second class I have had with Prof. A, and by far the hardest class I have ever taken. Do EVERY SINGLE homework problem, do ALL of the examples, and ask questions if you don't understand. It's a tough class, but if you want to learn the material and be well prepared for Calc 2, take his class. I am retaking it this semester for an A

Professor A is one of my favorite teachers. His class will give you whiplash, his tests will feel painful, and he will inspire you to do great. It is hard to get a good grade on any single test but if you show that you are hard working and complete all the hw and extra credit you will pass. Shut up, read the book, do the examples and pass the class

Comment:

My friend suggests Professor Alidaee for me and I am really appreciate it. Although it is a difficult class, he explains clearly through examples. Ask questions if you dont understand but read the book first. Doing every single homework in the syllabus will reward you with a good grade.
