This guy's accent is so thick it's genuinely not worth showing up to class. In the case that you do, it's best you do it to work on your MyLabs and other assignments than waste your time trying. He seems nice and somewhat caring but he's also lowkey condescending and rude. If you can learn independently he isn't all too bad as background noise.

THIS MAN CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH!!! HIS ACCENT IS SO THICK YOU CANT UNDERSTAND 70 PERCENT OF WHAT HE SAYS. Students have the right to have a professor they can understand and learn from otherwise why are we paying for in-person lectures. I genuinely have no idea why he is still allowed to teach when no one can understand him its so frustrating!! RUN!!

He is very hard to understand, very caring, but has a very easy course load, and if you study, you can get a good grade. Weekly homework has a lot of questions, but it's an easy 100 worth 20 percent of your grade.

He seems like an okay guy, and he does try to actively explain everything that he does during his lectures, but the one thing that is setting him back is his accent unfortunately.

QMS110 was so easy. Prof was good at explaining. Whole class is 20/20/40 (2 midterms+final) with 20% on weekly quizzes. Did not use a cheat sheet or calculator on any exams. Exam material was fairly the same difficulty as what was taught.

This prof is caring towards his students and wants them to succeed. The only issue is that it is difficult to understand him, which is a problem considering this is a uni level math course. You'll end up teaching yourself everything, so keep up with the weekly topics, make sure your MyLabs are good as they will boost you, and practice a lot.

Pros: cares about students, tries to help. Cons: thick accent, and terrible at explaining concepts at a base level. He always tries to show the "why" instead of the how, too much theory and no application. Clogs up his lectures, as this causes students to burn out by the end of class. if you can find a better prof, FIND a BETTER PROF.

Pros: cares about students, tries his best to answer questions. Cons: very difficult to understand (thick accent) his lectures basically only consist of theory and never really shows you how to do practice problems. When explaining theory or concepts he will give an overly complicated explanation that will make you even more confused.

avoid this prof at all costs. can barely understand the man cause his accent is so thick. this course with him will ultimately end up being self taught.

His accent was tough to understand and he overcomplicates everything instead of explaining it step-by-step, he tended to expect we already knew everything. The exams also were nothing like what we learned in the lectures or like the reviews with the TA, they were way harder. Choose anyone else.
