Worst teacher I have ever had - strong accent, unreadable handwriting, never responds to emails. Tests and quizzes are exceptionally hard to finish given the time allotted and he does not accept them late even if you are having trouble with uploading

Summer 2020. This was the only class available because I forgot to register early. I dropped 10 minutes into the first lecture. Very, very thick accent. The quality of his webcam & camera was AWFUL. You can see nothing, it was so blurry. Everyone was complaining about the blurriness & he did nothing to fix it. Not sure if its better now. Just no.

Comment:

Do not take this class if not already proficient in mathematics. VERY thick accent, skips steps during examples, and unable to explain in simpler terms all make it very difficult to follow along. Must purchase $100 HW program that doesn't work and doesn't give access to the textbook, another $100. HW is 100 problems due each Sat. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Your graded on his "idea" on what the answer should be... if you follow the question exactly you will still get marked off if he thinks you should answer more than asked. He has no clue what ebook textbooks area, yells at students for using e readers. This Prof should not be allow to teach.

This professor is AWFUL. Don't take his classes ever. I am a good student, I always do my homework, I was never absent, but still couldn't pass his class. If you value your time and money, don't take him. I made a big mistake, but it's ok I learned from my mistakes.

tbh you won't pass this class at all. I'm currently struggling in this class bc of his heavy accent. like you can't even underestand what he's saying or writing on the board. he's a very tough grader, and marks for anything small and he wants the problem done right in a specfic way.

Comment:

Extremely hard to understand because of his accent, he goes off on a tangent almost always. His cell phone always goes off during class and he has to leave to pick it up which is kind of unproffesional. He doesn't explain things clearly even if you do understand him with his accent, the projector he uses is really hard to see even tho i am infront.

Terrible professor. He is really hard to understand and you cant read his handwriting on the whiteboard. Also he tried to start our class 15 minutes late and keep us 15 minutes extra because he said the bathroom was too far away from our class and he needed to use the restroom before our class started. I dropped his class.

You definitely don't want to take this class. Honestly, even if you self study its not going to help because he gives you completely different problems on the exam then what you actually learn in the textbook. Also, he is a hard grader and will mark off points EVEN if you have the right answers but the work is not according to his liking.

I'm taking his class now, and my suggestion is that DO NOT take his class, no matter how hard you work, it doesn't help. He isn't an easy teacher you can take.

he's a nice guy but unless you really already know the subject or can teach yourself out of the book you will struggle. lectures are hard to understand and hardwriting is hard to read. If math is a subject you struggle with I highly do not recommend this classs for you.

Reading questions carefully, reviewing your quizzes and tests and showing step by step process to your solution is the key to getting success. I had low scores on first few quizzes/test, but after I figured out what he expects in our answer, I started to receive good scores. He is always happy to help you inside/outside the class.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever taken. Endless Webassign, 7 question, 70 point exams. Confusing lectures, boring, irritated by questions. Had to drop because at best, I'd only have managed a C. Unbelievably difficult, even for people who are good at math + self learning. It's better to not take math than to get stuck in his class.
