He is a pretty good professor compared to some other math teachers. He explains the material well and still takes the time to stop every now and then to ask if anyone has questions.

He explains it well and his tests are not hard. if you do the practice test then you would ace the test. if you e-mail him for help he e-mails you right the next day. very helpful

If people would come to class and make an attempt to study the book and go the math lab; the material isn't that hard..He goes over many examples and offers extra credit.The material is stuff people should have learned in high school pre-cal.

He is great!

Extremely generous with extra credit offers, Tests become progressively easier through the course, Very willing to help

Really a geometry class, not an intro to all math. Can get upset at times. Tests are easy. YOu can teach yourself the material, but he can be helpful if you go to class and ask questions. Good class.

He really was a great professor, if you can get past his strong accent. He will work with you, but it does take some effort on your part. I think if you enjoy math, it will be a great course for you, but if you are looking for an easy A, look elsewhere.

The class was difficult but that is because the material is not easy. He understands that not everybody is good at math and he grades very generously and offers extra credit. Yes, he goes fast but it is alot of material to cover. His tests are very fair and he wants everyone to get a good grade.

Wonderful professor. Cares about everyone understanding. Most people complain because they want an easy A rather than understanding the material. If you like math you'll like the class. If you're a serious student, rather than one that goes to school just for fun, you'll like the class. Great Class.

Good Professor, cares about students. Not at all an easy A, you get what you put out in that class, no shortcuts.

Just show up to lecture, do your homework and it should be a breeze. He dislikes people walking in late and leaving class early. Other than that, it should be an easy A.

Like the others said, it is a fast-paced class, but I found him to be a really good teacher. You just have to keep up with the homework. He would also devote full days to just answering questions on the board which was really helpful.

he is very clear he is for the student learning a small amount of material and getting it over trying to squeeze 300 formulas into a few weeks!! i highly recommend him!

pretty easy teacher. test questions are just like problems from the book. he cares about students and goes out of his way to help. his final is ridiculously hard so take advantage of easy test 1,2 and 3.

He is a very good teacher, the best out of all. His explains very well, but goes fast so u need to keep up. Very helpful.

He is very nice and helps students with his best. His tests are a little long and sometimes tricky, but if with studying, one could do fine. He is one of the best professors I ever had. He cares about his students and he does his best to help you make good grades and understand the lesson. Strongly recommend him to any one.

omg take him!!! he is soo ez i got A's on all my test 2 of them were 100. he goes over a practice test b4 each test and all the problems are similar to the test in the same order!!! i mean what more do you want!!! such a good teacher!!!!

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Dr. Zaid. He is so awesome. You do everything on Webct unlimited times except for easy hw and poppers! Go to his tutorials! He is so so sooooo helpful! This semester was easy because of him! I reccommend him to anyone who is worried about Coll. Alg.

DR ZAID = EXCELLENT TEACHER! made math very easy to understand and always wanted to help us clear any confusions. He even went over some of the practice tests with us to prepare us for exams. he deos have an accent but its not that bad, you'll understand him. made an easy A!

He is a great teacher, very clear in explanations. Will always review if you ask him in class. Class is very organized, daily popper quizes, weekly webct quizzes, 8 HW questions due on wednesday, tests at casa. If you go to class, take notes, and follow his posts on his website you wont have a problem. He has an accent, but its understandable.

Its kind of hard to understand him but you get use to it fast and it becomes easy. He does go over the test before you take them, he explains everything very well. He is really cool, he doesnt care about being late, you can eat in his class, you can leave whenever you want. try not to get him if the class is in 160-lamar Flem. it is way to cold

he's easy to understand but much of what he covers is not in the homeworks or quizzes.

Business Calculus is a hard course and he makes it harder, he cant teach very well and has a strong accent...he does print out the quizzes and work them out before the test though!

This professor is quite good in teaching his material. He tries to help his students in all possible ways. He reviews pretty much everything before a test and if the coming up test consists lot of material, he would specially go over those materials.He is really helpful on one to one basis. The only problem I had with him was in grading tests. I ta

Alright professor. Very hard to understand him, he tends to go a bit fast. rather boring. The accent doesn't help much but there was a curb on the final that landed me a B in the class so I was happy. Good hearted.

He is always late. He does review for test when he can. He likes to show shortcuts when possible. His accent was there but not too bad. He tries to explain things that folks don't understand. He keeps you to the end of class but doesn't try to go over. I found him helpful and encouraging for the summer but be warned; he does teach at a fast clip.

I am horrid at Mathmatics, but he helped me to understand!

He's not bad at all. Tends to go a little fast at time, though. Very willing to help if you ask. Don't have to buy the book. Like any class, you have to put in the study time, but its not all that difficult. Recommended.

Very Good Professor. He goes at a quick pace but is willing to answer questions in class if you missed something. He was very clear & explained the pit falls students normally have difficulties with. He made sure we were always prepared to do our homework and take our tests & quizes. This class requires one keep on top of CASA deadlines.

good teacher and knows math real good , very helpful also

TAKE HIM!! he's a great professor. very helpful! just email him. all he asks for is respect! GREAT professor.

He is a good teacher. Kind of hard to understand, but is available all the time. He will work with you over email and in person. If you do your homework and quizzes on course ware. you will be fine. The practice tests are just like all of the tests. This was the easiest math class i have ever taken.

Please don't listen to all these rude comments, Ahmed-Zaid rocked!! His extensive knowledge as a Math PHD. was phenomenal. He will help you suceed if you are motivated to do so. I have been trying so hard to pass college algebra and finally I found a teacher who educated me enought to suceed. Highly Recommend this Professor!!

Very helpful and very informative. Knows the material very well as he should.

He's a GREAT professor. He cares about his students and will help any time you need it. Although the material may be hard, he goes through it in great detail and makes sure everybody understands it. I despised Math before this class, but after getting an A, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. Go to class, do the quizzes and practice tests!

Dr. Zaid is a good professor. Though his accent may be hard to understand at first, you get used to it. He explains things over for people who may have been asleep the first time in class. You can skip class, but most people don't, since his lectures are the best source of information - the online book isn't as good. Homework can be annoying, as we

I really liked his class but he does write alot on the board and he goes very fast. He explains out the problems though so its not very difficult to keep up. He is a little hard to understand at times but i ended up making an A

Really hard to fail this class. He's extremely helpful! Does write a lot but the notes are helpful in the long run. He posts up quizes and practice tests so thats a plus! :D TAKE HIM

He is very willing to help students if they have trouble. His accent is a little hard to understand at first but doesn't affect learning. The way he draws everything out on the board is very easy to understand. HW is helpful to do and is mandatory along with in class( 3 question) quizzes every day.

Great instructor. Very liberal office hours, answers e-mails. Very open and honest. I would recommend him any time.

Professor Zaid is the best math professor I have ever had and I hate math. I truly suck at it. But I got an A in his class Ive never gotten an A or a B for that matter in math. There are 13 online quizzes on the CASA website take them up to 20 times, 5 exams a final,take the practice test! YOU GET BONUS PTS if you do

Although he speaks quite low at times, he is a really great teacher. His method of teaching is extremely helpful for those who will continue with Calculus. He teaches with great clarity & I enjoy his lectures. Dr.Zaid set it up, so you will easily make an A. Lots of padded grading. Take advantage! Obviously, if you don't do the work you WILL fail.

He's a nice guy and a pretty good teacher considering math is one of my weakest subjects. He goes very fast in class and does have an accent, although I had no trouble understanding him. You can earn bonus points for every exam and weekly online quizzes help boost your grade. Go to the math lab in the testing center, it helps!

This class was pretty easy. The practice tests are almost exactly the same as the real tests. Has all of the notes already posted online. I stopped going to class after a while cause it was so easy. Sometimes he is hard to understand and he makes a lot of mistakes while teaching. He messed up while teaching us symmetry.

TAKE HIM! BEST MATH PROF EVER!

he posts his notes online and go over the test before we take a real test it is really helpful if u just study his notes u can get 100 for this class

Pretty simple class, really nice guy, and straightforward grading structure. Unfortunately, I forgot to do the quizzes and ended up with a C, but if you keep up with the work you can get an A, no problem. Seriously one of the most helpful teachers I've had, if you take the time to work with him.

I took him over the summer. No hw but there were poppers quizzes & tests. He was a decent teacher and reviewed well for the tests. You do have to study on your part though by doing the quizzes & practice test since they prepare you for the tests. Keep up with the stuff especially if you take in the summer, lot of material in such little time.

Good prof. Follows basic CASA guidelines (poppers, online quizzes, homework, and exams). A little difficult to understand, so you might want to sit in the front. Gives you the answers to the daily in class poppers, only 4 homework problems (due twice a week), 4 exams and a final. Very helpful to students who email and visit his office.

Very good teacher. Would recommend because he teaches material well, but class material can have it's difficulty points as well. Made a B even though my test average was a C-. Go over practice tests and practice final because they are very helpful. Also give yourself some time to go over lecture notes because Dr.Z goes fast during class. He's coo

He's a great teacher! Goes through the practice test with you so you'll know exactly what to do for tests. Teaches well and answers questions. Ended up with an A- even though i was for sure supposed to have a B+. Very nice guy!

hes a great teacher...just do all homeworks, do attendance poppers, he works out all the practice test, which is a big help. and he teaches what you need to know for test

I LOVE HIM!! I sucked in math until i took his class. He lays everything out on the table for you, he even has the practice tests and quizzes KEYS! He goes over them in class and the PT are exactly like the Tests just EASIER! He fully preps you! although his handwriting sucks and his accent is thick, hes Great!

i really liked him.. i think he was super easy. some ppl dont like his accent but im used to math teachers with accents like my chinese one =) haha and he gives out the answers to the poppers. i got excempted from the final and got 100's on every casa test..idk im naturally good at math.. this might not correspond with everybody. ill take him again

He is one of the best teachers to take for Pre-Cal. Prepares you really well for the tests and gives a review for the test a week before. If I had an option of taking him again, I would definitely take him. Made an easy high A with no problem.

Don't listen to the people hating on him, they're complete idiots who make C's in freshman English and belong at HCC. EASIEST A for a math class. His lectures, while a bit messy, provide EVERYTHING you need for the test, as do the online practice tests. If you have half a brain and make an effort, you'll make an easy A like me. And I'm BAD at math.

The students who claim he is not a good teacher must be the students want an A but want to put in no effort. This professor provides all the necessary notes in order to make an A. He posts up his lecture notes right after class and posts up how to solve practice tests and quizzes. Just follow his guide during quizzes and test and you will make an A

A very helpful professor, it is rather easy to succeed in this class. But you do have to study and you do have to pay attention. Do you work, study it, make sure you know it front and back, and you should do well.

Dr. Zaid is a fantastic professor. It's rare to find someone who cares as much as he does for his students success. He is lenient and fair in his grading and tends to curve if the class average is below 60. Unlike most Math professors, he provides test reviews with complete hand worked solutions. He does however expect you to work hard.

Very sweet and nice guy; tends to talk a bit fast so you may get a bit lost if you don?t read his notes before class. He will answer every question on the lecture though. You need to work, do the online quizzes, do not miss lectures (poppers) and you will get a good grade. He actually cares about his students and wants them to do well in class.

Best math teacher I have ever had. He understands the material backwards and forwards, and caters his teaching method to students. He will usually cover *several* possible ways of solving a problem - and then give a recommendation as to the best. DON'T miss class, be respectful, and take copious notes (his notes are better than the text).

This professor is by far a nice one. He cares about getting the lecture across and does not like disruption, however it can be boring at times. He does have an accent so be aware. He uses no textbook, and everyone is done online...he also posts all of his notes on his website incase you missed a day...and also grades daily poppers.

He does have his accent but he is super easy! The best math teacher by far. He actually doesent just go over the notes, he writes them out which is better because I am a hands on so I am working it at the same time and I dont have to worry about keeping up.

He is an amazing teacher. If you pay attention you can see his passion for math. He does have an accent but alot of teachers do and his is pretty understandable. And there are handout but you really dont need them because he writes his own problems. He is great if your hands on and its easy to keep up. Totally take him!!

He was very easy, he has an accent, but its easy to understand. Make sure to keep up with work and to go to class for poppers. Took him for finite, and I would recommend him. He puts how to do problems on quizzes and practice tests online.

He's really sweet and in general a jolly old fellow.Btw, the story of how he came to the USA is worth listening to.

poppers every day, he puts all of the lecture notes online. 5 tests, 1 quiz every week, 2 hw per week. its pretty easy, keep up with dates! the tests are only like 30 questions. pay attention and you'll do fine.

Good guy. Willing to work with you.

Very helpful his website contains all lectures and previous quizzes that help.

great teacher lots of usefull items on his website and there are pratice exams filled and quizes as well to help you succeed

Very good teacher! His website is EXTREMELY helpful since all the quizzes and the tests are on it! Talk to him AFTER the class if you have anything & he will solve it out for you. Recommended class. *Make sure you remember the dates of the homework & take a good date from CASA the day dates open*

He's a good teacher, but very unorganized. He's late often & didn't print enough tests once & blamed it on the students & left to get more while ppl cheated - unprofessional. Short fuze, but I think my rude class contributed. You quickly get used to his accent, and he is very thorough with his class notes. He responds to emails within 48 hours.

He is straight forward. He teaches all the concepts straight from quizzes and practice tests. You can print his notes online and the book is on his website. My class was beyond rude and he had every right to get pissed off! I got mad myself. He has an accent yet it's very clear you can still understand.

I took him for College algebra and PreCal over the summer. I dont think i have ever had an issue understanding him. He does examples very fast which sometimes tripped me up. However, he is always willing to stop and answer questions or slow down. Overall, i liked him. Great, No nonsense professor who will teach you if you are willing to learn.

PROFESSOR WAS AWESOME!! FIRST TIME I EVER PASSED COLLEGE ALGEBRA, AND WITH AN A!! VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FAIR.

Took this prof's summer precal course and received a 4.0. The material is not easy , but he goes out of his way to show you tricks to help remember formulas and ways to work around to an answer if you forget them. His accent is hard to understand , but he posts notes online (very good ones). Recommended if you're willing to put in the study time.

he is nice a bit but can be really straight forward. He replies his emails and all but if you are the kind that cant teach yourself ..dont enroll in his class!

The class was really easy for me. He is a good teacher, he does have a really strong accent though so it is hard to understand him.

This teacher is a bit confusing at first but once you get further into the semester he is amazing. Everything he discuss in class is relevant to quizzes and test. Poppers for this class are really easy and he explains everything. I would definitely recommend him

He is amazing!!!! Honestly I didn't attend like 8 classes and he dropped the 5 lowest attendance grades, The tests are easy and the video lectures in the text book helped alot. Basically just do your assignments, quizzes and pay attention in class.

I've taken this professor twice for 1310 and 1313 and wouldn't have it any other way. Straight to the point teaching and knows what he is doing in teaching math. Don't be afraid to ask question or answer them in class you can only gain clarity by doing so

taking his class at the moment. there are 5 tests throughout the semester. 1-2 homework assignments per week. quiz averages about 2 every 3 weeks. if you get an overall 80 you can skip the final. 10% of practice test grades will apply to the respective test. it was hard to understand his accent at first but it gets easier to understand

Currently taking him for Finite Math 1313. At first he is hard to understand, accent is very thick & he speaks very fast, but you adjust as the semester goes. Notes are good, lectures are thorough, you have to keep up. Don't miss class. Everything on the test is taught in class. As long as you pay attention you'll be fine. Oh & ask questions.

He is very thorough and goes over every possible thing for the college algebra tests. Possible ten points EC per test. You take a computer practice test online for the points until you get all right (And the practice tests are almost identical to the tests!). There are also 2 written questions per test and he told us in class what they would be!

Definitely the professor to take If you want to take trigonometry. Basically gives examples for lecture and the review is basically the exam. Don't slack off study hard. Easy A+. Gives extra credit and webassign is given.

He is a good professor, doesnt rely on powerpoint, does everything by hand and explains everything clearly. He'll go over anything as many times as needed you just have to ask. One negative is that he doesnt reply to emails, but overall he is great at teaching. You can tell he is experienced and knows his material and he talks like Rocky Balboa :)

He is boring but easy. You will have 3 test, and he drops the lowest one. The test is almost the same with his review test, and the test is super easy. Extra credit if you do the practice test. Be honest, If you are good at math and want to get an A, take him. But if you really want to learn about statistic, don't take him.

He is a very knowledgeable professor and he explains hard math concepts very well. He spends time answering students questions. If you attend the class and dedicate time to study and do all the homework, you will be fine. He is one of the best math professors I've ever had. This course requires a lot of studying. Be prepared for homework.
