He rambles, but all test questions come from problems in assignments & DGDs.
Good course. Funny guy. Sounds like he was easier and better than other profs in this subject.
Excellent teacher
good professor
He really knows his groups
the class was interesting ...he was really into the topic ..not bad if u could put up with his slowness sometimes
He explains very clearly and precisely. However, his midterms are too easy and do not reflect the true level of the class (class average 86%). That does not mean however you can succeed without working.

BAH!!!!! Terrible!
Very good teacher.
Excellent teaching, and students follow well
Excellent in all perspective, should speak louder
Explains very well
the guy's really funny. the final we had this year was EXACTLY SAME as the last year's. everyone had A in the class
very good teacher but Tough exams.
Terrible, horrible professor, very boring classes, i have nothing against him personally, but everytime i go out of his class i feel like zombie
Does explain very well, tough exams.
Tres clair et aide beaucoup.
excellent
Excellent! Jamais connu un prof avec l'ART d'enseigner les maths comme lui! Un artiste!!
If you are a mathematically inclined student and actually attend lectures, you will do very well in a course with Professor Sebbar.
Very good teacher. Makes us do graded homework so we keep up in our homework. so once studying for the exam is very easy. Exam represents homework. And he smells good.
EXTREMELY boring! mais au moin les devoirs sont courts et pertinents. Les midterm et l'examen final sont super faciles.
very clear, lots of examples, if you understand all the homework you'll get A's on the exams. Recommended
TRÈS CLAIR & COMPRÉHENSIBLE ! Du jamais vu pour un prof de math, un cours de base en algèbre linéaire pour la gestion bien structuré et le final reflétait très bien ce dont il nous avait dit d'étudier. Très gentil comme prof !!
Très bon prof! Je l'ai adoré! Il connait ses affaires et les devoirs et l'examen ont bien réflété le contenu du cours! Mon prof préféré de ma première année d'université!
Easy prof. This was a course for engineers so he really had to dumb down everything seen in the class to accomadate the engineers. Very straightforward.
Perfect!
if you have to take this class, take it with him, he gets right to the point and is quite easy on us. average for the midterm was 48%(before bell curve) but i thought the exam was straight forward. does examples in class and explain key theorems quite well.
I must have got him when he was having a bad semester because he was regularily late, unprepared and wasted a lot of time. His assignments are very hard but his exams are easy. I didn't enjoy having him as prof.
He's a very good teacher and he explains everything on the board... You can easily understand the lesson in class! Choose him if you can!
I believe him to be one of the best math teachers I have had. Crystal clear!!!
He's a good professor in the sense that he demonstrates everything you need to know, if something is important he'll give several examples, he writes everything on the board. Not very interesting teaching methods, doesn't take much interest in his students either.
He explains well using the chalk board. Puts lots of emphasis on the important stuff. Do all the homework questions in the list online and you'll get a good grade. Exams are pretty easy. He is very boring though.
Straight forward professor. He knows his stuff and is always willing to help.
Had him for Calc 3, it's easy if you attend class and do what he asks.
really good professor
Prof with a personality and a sense of humour, unlike many math profs. Very clear expectations that are explained in class. Occasionally late, but still able to get through the course material efficiently. Definitely not a robot.
Great professor! I really enjoy his teaching.
Just great. Many abstratc things seem clear to me now..
It is a hard class to begin with, was crude on 1st midterm, let us perform another to bost our grade since highest grade was 60, mine 30, after that, 2nd midterm boost and exam was fair, he let us do presentations during dgd of a proof or demonstration(2-3pages) for extra marks, nice prof, available for help, runs away after class,(may need to run)
Solid and clear teaching. He conveys the material adequately.
Excellent professor. Explain many scientific things related or unrelated to the course.
Very intuitive teaching
Nice teaching style
very good
Excellent teaching. Lots of insights. I would appreciate assignments instead of just 3 tests.
Brilliant teaching and funny too.
Very nice prof and he teaches very well.
One of the best profs I ever had
I really enjoyed the lectures and most of all the capsules about math and physics.
Amazing lectures and funny too
I like his style. He takes his time and expands on many other sciences.
Good teacher, he goes off on many irrelevant tangents albeit very interesting ones (His research is on Quantum Mechanics). Tests aren't too bad and don't expect much homework, he said we'd have several during the year and only ended up doing one.
Sebbar is an excellent professor, and very entertaining in his lectures.
Tres clair et il aide beaucoup. Il faut faire les problemes suggeres.
Tres interessant comme style. Parle de choses hors programme,
He's a great prof. He doesn't speak very loud, so be sure not to sit next to people who like to chit-chat a lot. Tests are very fair. He can also be interesting and funny at times.
J'aime bien le style et il explique beaucoup
globalement tres intressant, et les explications sont claires. les exams faciles si on ecoute les consignes
Tres bon prof. Explique tres bien et on bien prepares pour les examens.
Just great
Horrible! Did not understand one thing because his notes were so bad. Don't buy the book, not worth your money. 1 assignment in the whole semester... Can't learn math like that!
This professor really tries to make every student understand what he teaches. Math concepts really seem to be easy with his teaching. Also he's a funny guy.
MAT 2525 is already an extremely hard class to begin with. If you can take it with Sebbar, DO IT. He made the class bearable and somewhat understandable. He made it as easy as he could. BUY the textbook and make sure you go to every class and try the proofs and memorize the definitions in your own time. Goodluck.
Amazing prof! Cares about his students and does lots of practise questions. He is clear, concise, and funny.
Professor Sebbar says very explicitly what you need to know for every exam. He also really wants everyone to pass his class and makes sure to compensate if an exam was too hard. Having no graded homework is also very nice!
Awesome lectures full of examples to help you understand. He's fair and honest with his expectations and clearly cares about his students and their success. Awesome prof!
Prof Sebbar gave many practice questions and exams to prepare students for midterms and exams. Lots of examples given in class, and practice exams were almost identical to actual exams. Lectures were good, he likes participation and over zoom it's harder, but overall great class.
He's an ok prof. Solves lots examples during lectures, wants his students to succeed and the workload is low for this course (no assignments) but the lectures can be quite boring, doesn't tell you the topics to cover for the exams and doing exams while cameras open becomes a bit stressful and overwhelming from time to time.
This is the hardest math class I've taken so far, but Professor Sebbar knows it's hard, so he is a very forgiving grader. He gave "assignments" that weren't submitted or graded as practice and organized extra discussion groups to help us out. One issue was the lack of an english textbook or set of notes to refer to - the only good one was french.
C'est notes ne sont pas bien organisées et il ne sait pas comment bien expliquer. Il est vraiment méchant. Il te dit que tu vas avoir une feuille de formule à l'examen, mais il ne te donne rien. Il vient de nous dire qu'on ne va pas avoir le droit à une calculatrice à l'examen. Éviter ce prof. Je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi il a 4.5/5.
Worst math prof. Super rude when student ask question and barely answer. While other prof do open book for this course he's super intense about and even annonced he wont allow calculator for final exam which is comlete non-sense. He grades insanely harsh, first midterm initially got a class average below 60 and he didnt care much bout it
Closed book, no formulas on the exam, and no calculator. It makes sense since its a math class. Explains well and gives enough examples to understand the concepts.
He's very good. Calc 3 tests can be made very difficult but his weren't. Final was closed book, no study sheets, no calculators but was very doable. Explained everything clearly, gave out past midterms and finals (which resembled ours), gave out handwritten notes -- not typeset
Explain concepts very clear in lectures. He gives a lot of examples which helps a lot. Exams are similar to past exams. Final is not easy but it is not difficult to achieve a grade around B. Vey good professor, highly recommended.
Gives lots of examples, with is so important for high-level math classes. You can tell he's really passionate and knowledgeable within his field. He likes to go into some of the history of Math which I always found interesting. My one quip was with his midterm, which he made quite long and difficult.
amazing
Pretty good prof with very fair exams, although his lectures can be a bit dull. There was a mistake in the grading of my final exam and he corrected it very quickly upon review.
He made cal 3 look very easy. I actually understood many things unlike my other math classes.
I did very well in a very abstract course, thanks to the prof.
Excellent. Nothing to say more.
Amazing prof! His lectures are very explicit and he cares a lot about his students.
Great professor! Clearly outlines what will be on exams and provides helpful, easy-to-understand lectures. Also has a great sense of humor and makes classes entertaining. Highly recommend!
