Took this Guy in fall03, didn't understand about 60% of the lectures he gave. Class was OK. Not the best or brightest professor in the Economics Department
This guy is a bore and his notes suck.Tests are hard even if you study a lot.I managed to get a B+ though cuz I studied hardcore style.I suggest getting the study guide for this guys class. Some of the questions on that were on his tests. However he seems like a nice guy, he just can't teach.
This was a difficult class. I had an A in micro and took this class and managed to squeek by with a C+. His lectures are boring and he is hard to understand. His tests were very hard and he had to make numerous curves just to have students pass. Hes a nice guy and I hope he improves his teaching
im taking this guy right now and all i have to say is he sucks. he is hard to understand and the**** he gives for notes in not even on his quizes.avoid at all costs
He has a thick accent which is hard to understand sometimes. His lectures are soo boring, but he is a nice guy. It's possible to get a decent grade if you work REALLY hard!
Decent teacher. I didn't go to class besides to take the quizzes and pulled off an A. Buy the book and study guide and read the PPP he posts on webct and you will do just fine.
i was able to learn most of the concepts on my own. His lectures were sooo boring so I never went. Just show up for quiz days and review days. You'll be fine if you're reading the book. His reviews are VERY helpful, he genuinely wants you to do well on the tests. Department final is incredibly hard though, be prepared.
He has a thick accent that takes a while to get over. His lectures can get long, I found myself falling asleep a couple times. As long as you read the book you are good to go. Its not that long of a book and everything is based off it. Final is a little tough, but if you did good the rest of the semester, you dont have to worry about it.
He is such a nice guy...He tries sooo hard to make the class interesting and easy...Economics is a pretty hard subject, and if you found this class hard, it's not his fault, you probably just don't like eco...or you're an idiot

He's Fabulous!
This is the worst class ever! He is so difficult to understand and he isnt very clear at all!
He was difficult to understand because of his accent. Attendance is required and his lectures are horribly boring. He is a really nice guy though and he tries so hard. It was a hard class because he puts stuff on the test that he never talks about in class.
He is a nice professor however his tests are really hard. Be prepared to study "outside the lines" meaning that the things he lectures about in class may not necessarly mean its on the test. Attend his class it is helpful to your grade...
Dr. Kader does have an accent and is sometimes difficult to understand. The BEST thing to do is ATTEND CLASS. Just make an effort! Reading the chapter before lecture makes the class easier. The tests are hard but he gives ya extra points for attendance so its evens out.
Good guy, really patient. Like if some idiot student starts telling him he's a bad teacher because the average score on a test was low, or when someone leaves in the middle of a lecture and comes back with a soda, he just shrugs it off and keeps at the economics. His English is fine although humorous on occasion.
This teacher was not only difficult but incredibly unclear. He gives you reviews for exams that cover nothing of the test. Also, the lectures deviate from the assignment. He talks about of Kensian Economics which are irrelevant. He does however curve grades based on performance so you stand a good chance of a decent grade, but you won't learn much.
Failed all the tests and still passed.
Dr. Kader is a good professor...he tries his hardest to make everyone understand econ. He gives a study guide before every test/quiz. Also, the tests/quizzes are curved so it is hard to do too bad in the class. He can also be very humorous at times (whether he means to be or not)... I would definitely recommend him!
Dr. Kader is really nice. He curves the tests so much. Here is how much he curved each test: Test 1: +3%, Test 2: +8%, Test 3: + 15%!!!! I don't know how much he curved the final. You have to be present when the one day he picks to hand out an attendance sheet in order to get more extra points. So don't miss class and don't leave early.
The class is harder then it seems. This guy acts like nothing is a big deal then he just happens to forget to mention something or is not sure about the curving. I feel what you get in the class is based on pure luck then knowledge. As you have noticed everyone sayes he has a great curving system yet its not a sure thing? So If you are taking this
Kader is a nice guy and he will make you laugh. He gives slight curves on his tests. Tests are confusing. Read the book!
Hard subject material, but no attendance and as long as you read the book and print his powerpoint, it's easy
Although Mr. Kader tries to make class fun and is actually really nice and sometimes funny, the class sucks! It's HARD and his teaching style does not make it any easier. He forgets a lot of things. He curves, but that doesn't really make it any better. Try not to take this class!
tests are hard but he curves grades
the curves on all 3 of our tests were 4%, 6% and 7%. he lectures out of the book, and uses powerpoints avaliable online. the tests are all multi choice, and are right out of the book. READ THE BOOK it is what saved me. I should have gotten a B but he curves the final grade also, and i ended up with a A-. the final is a department final and it is HA
Took econ102 fall 06 Kader was an alright teacher. his class and tests were all multichoice and very stressful. no extra credit or homework. he gives out sample tests. everything is out of book READ THE BOOK is you want to do well on the test. there are small curves for each test no more than 10% but an overall curve for the entire grade at the end
No Comments
Test are difficult.. Read book. Grades on curve but doesn't help.
Syllabus was a no-brainer...no attendance required, no homework. Only 4 tests total. I didn't go to one class except to take the tests and review for the final. I read and studied the text by Manlow thoroughly and got a 'B' in the course. He does curve though, and I heard he gives out some extra points on certain days.
Super nice prof!He really wants students to do well.The tests are a little difficult, not b/c of how he writes them,but b/c of the subject matter.You must study,it's not an easy A.He gave us a lot of extra credit quizzes and practice tests.He will help you if you go to his office.
Prof Kadar was a really great teacher. He helped me understand macroecon better. It was a hard class tho
There is something severely wrong with this guy when it comes to teach intermediate Macro, the average grade in his class is a D... he doesn't go through any examples. Horrible professor.
Professor Kadar is a great teacher, and he cares deeply about his students. Do your part by carefully reading the textbook and arriving to class on time.
This guy should not be teaching! I am a straight A student and have been to every one of his classes, but have not learned much. Now I have done my part to learn by reading prior to ALL classes and attending ALL classes, but he is very hard to understand (his English) and when you ask him a question he just says its up to us to learn by studying.
I was very interested in economics and in the business college altogether until attending this course. I am not saying that he was out to get everyone. He had a way of making easy topics very difficult. I am changing my major because of this class. I thank the professor, however, because I would have wasted a lot of time and money!
RUN FOR THE HILLS! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I am not even kidding, his heavy accent can somehow be overcome but his complete inability to teach CANNOT! He is a good economist but a TERRIBLE teacher.
I've taken two classes with Kader, not hard to understand, don't know where people are getting that from? Class is not easy, but he goes over many examples and reviews before each test. Study and attend class and you'll be fine
took him for 358 over the summer, 4 multi choice tests. hes a very nice guy but not a good teacher, his lectures are unorganized and random, and he doesn't explain the concepts very well. KNOW THE GRAPHS, the tests are surprising difficult but he does review. However, there is usually a big curve because everyone did horrible. Avoid if possible
Summer session 3, easy class may be because i'm in econ major, materials are not that hard, just read the chapter before the class and you will do fine. easy grader
He is a good teacher, but gets easily distracted when telling his stories. You need to work a bit to keep him focused. I would take a class from him again.
This is the WORST teacher ever! I would recommend NEVER taking any of his classes. First of all, his English is terrible, so it makes it very hard to understand lectures. He doesn't have any organized lectures, just comes up and tells random stories the whole class. I only attend class on quiz and exam days. He does curve grades, but not very much.
Good teacher. Do his practice exams, do the practice exams & oh yea do his practice exams!!! He bases his exams on them but be ready to see 2 to 3 things you'll have to solve using your brain. Attend class since he solves the practice exams in class. Curve on each exam 26%. Easy C but hard B or A. Don't take him if u don't plan on putting in time.
He definitely has an accent but its really not that big of a deal. Most classes you could probably skip, just be sure to read the material. Not the best teacher but there are worse out there.
He is a really fun professor and he makes me think of my grandpa who is also a econ professor. He is definitely knowledgeable about economics, which might be a bad thing because he has so much to offer. So TMI sometimes. His tests are hard and you better read your book. A great class if you actually want to go above and beyond. Very hard A.
Really nice professor. I took him over the summer. Very easy if you go to class and read the book when you dont understand. I would recommend buying the study guide. It helps you think outside the box for the problems.
Frustrating class. Yes, Kader knows his stuff, but I think that is a major reason students have trouble with his class. He finds the material easy and gets frustrated when the students don't pick up on it. His tests are difficult, regardless of the effort you put in. His new Twitter experiment is going horribly wrong! Waste of class time.
Frustrating professor. Nice enough in class, but rude and unhelpful if you try to see him for extra help - easily frustrated by questions. Test reviews were semi-helpful. Some people liked him, I was not one of them. But then, I was not a fan of the subject either. If you really like this stuff, you'll probably like his class well enough.
I took this class my last semester at UNLV and it was quite possibly the hardest class ever. He makes the simplest things so complicated and is horrible at teaching. Although he's nice, it's of no use on the exams. The class average for every exam, except one, was a D. And the class average for the final exam was about a 58%! Do NOT take him!
This is sad. A nice man, horrible teacher. Explanations all over the place. Tests are dreadful, filled with confusing questions. But he is curving and gives back points if you complain, so getting A is possible. That being said, the book is your only guide, lectures are useless. But he takes attendance and gives extra credit for it, so you decide..
He's a nice guy, but he has trouble explaining things. The best way to pass this class is STUDY the homework he assigns you especially the graphs. Pick a good group and attend his class since he grades on your attendance! He also drops your lowest exam grade and you can choose not to take the final if you do well on his exams. Overall, a very tough course!
Horrible & useless. GRADES ABSURDLY!!! Completely recommend to pass this one. Not Chen but grades horribly similar.
This teacher was very hard to understand and didn't understand when students would ask questions. You need to go to class and really pay attention to his lectures to pass. Get the book and read pretty much the whole thing and u will learn more than what he teaches.
He'll probably be let go as UNLV goes bankrupt anyway so, who cares? Too bad though. He's not easy, but neither is the subject. He seems to want to engage, but doesn't quite know how to get the students into it. He's good though. Oh- don't EVER snap your fingers at him. Unless you're an idiot.
This class is very hard, and you will basically have to learn by yourself and read everything in the book because his lecture are very difficult to understand. No homeworks or projects for this class, but the tests and quizzes were really hard. Also, the final exam is a department test which was ultimately the hardest.
He happens to be an amazing teacher and really easy. Had him over the summer and he was really helpful, and provided extra points on tests. AMAZING!!!
Professor Kader is an awesome professor. He wont fail anyone, and in the tests you are allowed a page of notes. I really enjoy economics so the material may not be as interesting to you. It may be his last semester teaching MBA 710.
Kader is problably the best unlv economist proffessor and he is pretty cool although sometimes some topics are boring its not his fault even the book mentions it. If you want to obtain a good grade just study, read and go to class. he also curves test and adjust grades that helps a lot
I don't think he knows where he is half the time. Seems lost most of the time and will keep going back and forth with the slides.
So basically, I can sit through a whole lecture of his and learn less than I could by reading the chapter in the book. He doesn't help me understand anything. I no longer attend his class and just read the book and manage to do well on the tests.
Must read the book and print out the powerpoints to follow along with him in lecture. He is fair and curves all the tests by about 4 points or more. He gives 15 take home questions for each test out of 50. It's like you have a free 30% on each test if you get the 15 right. No other homework besides reading the book, easy class.
Had Dr. Kader for ECON 102 last semester as well. His class is pretty easy if you just follow along in lecture. Some students feel he is disorganized because he skips around a lot on his Power Points, but really he is just making sure to hit the most important points hardest. I learned a lot in his class and what a nice guy.
Professor Kader is a great teacher. He is always happy to help any student after class. I always printed out the powerpoints for extra help and read the chapter before coming to class. I studied for about an hour a day and pulled an A- while taking him over the summer. Just come to class on time, ask him for help, study and you will be fine!
He has some quarky jokes and I like him, but he does have some hard tests. Ultimately he does care about his students though and his powerpoints are very useful. I would say print them if possible and take them with you to class
Great spirit and deffinitely very involved in his subject but hard to understand and tough tests even after studying. Hard on grading and does not reply to emails. I recieved a D+ from this teacher and you need a C to pass. Wouldn't budge. Unless you love this subject avoid enrolling in this class.
Professor Kader was using new textbook but wasn't completely familiar with it's powerpoint slides. He is more than fair on scoring tests. You must attend class, do homework, and study to do well. His accent makes it hard to understand certain words but he doesn't mind repeating them. He really wants his students to succeed.
Really nice person. Teacher, maybe not. He really tries to help, but it just comes off as more confusing. Have to work really hard just to stay afloat in this class. He does give a lot of extra gracious points since everyone seems to do poorly on his tests.
The absolute worst teacher I've had in the two years here at UNLV. He reads word for word off the slides and is very hard to understand. He barely curves the tests, so it really doesn't make much of a difference. I went to him for help with a concept, and he blew me off. Do not take this teacher. You'll regret it.
Very nice guy, hard to understand because of accent, so sit as close to front as possible. He gave multiple tries for HW so you could get 100%, he curves tests and grades a lot, Final is a common exam, NOT written by him. Always uses powerpoints, draws a lot of diagrams, book isn't used often. Very hard and boring subject to understand.
Took this class during summer. Pretty straightforward class. Study and you will do well. However, be aware than you need a 98% to get an A. I got a 93% and thought I would get an A for the class, but didn't.
This professor is real a nice guy, but unless you understand and enjoy economics, it is a difficult class. It is his first time teaching it so he gave a lot of curving and opportunity for extra credit. He isn't a bad professor, the class is just difficult and boring.
BEST ECON PROFFESOR AT UNLV - HELPFULL -MADE ECON understandable. TOOK HARD CONCEPTS AND APPLIED TO LIFE _ FINALLY I GET IT. THANK YOU!!!! always available for any question - Wants you to succeed unlike other econ prof. Failed WADDOUP stay CLEAR OF HIM
He is such a sweet guy. He'll really try to help you out and is definitely on your side when grading. Students who do poorly are then ones who don't show up all semester and then complain about the tests being too hard...
Very nice guy who wants his students to succeed. that being said, he did not teach Economics very well. used out of date charts and graphs and kept repeating information he had said before. If it wasn't for taking Economics in high school I would have had a hard time understanding the material.
Professor Kader is simply the kindest person I have ever met. He truly cares about his students and wants them to do well, not only in his class, but in all aspects. The class often goes off track in topic, but when we do, the conversations are very interestinghilarious. Tests are similar to homework and homework assignments are very simple.
Nice guy that wants all his students to pass & cares about their grade. Can't teach though. Lectures are long & he gets himself confused. Really emphasizes what's going to be on the exam, so attending lecture is a must. Really lenient on grading. 3 exams total, dropped our lowest & counted the final only as half. Plus added points to every exam.
Professor Kader is a very sweet and kind man. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He is known to go off track and repeats himself sometimes. Grade is based on the HW from MyEcon lab and 3 exams which he gives study guides and reviews for. Difficult class, but as long as you read,take notes, and show up you should be fine.
I feel as if the subject was simply too difficult for this kind teacher to teach. He is an outstanding man but the class itself is not fun. There are NO assignments, just tests and the tests are extremely hard, despite him letting students use a cheat sheet...
Very nice professor. Extra credit for showing up. Lectures feel long. Only graded assignments in the class were 4 tests which are worth 100 points each. Non-cumulative final. He curves each test depending on class average. Problems based on the lectures. There is some basic graph reading and math involved in some of the chapters.
He's very hard to understand and the lectures are difficult to sit through, but I appreciate how hard he tries to relate to the students by showing videos and talking about contemporary things. He gives extra credit and curves on the test to help because he knows the class is rough. Very nice man, and it's not hard to get a decent grade.
3 tests and a final all worth 100 points each. the second test is really hard the third is the easiest. they are all curved.
3 tests. That is it. They are very difficult and he is hard to understand sometimes because he has a thick accent. If you are not good at taking tests or get test anxiety, forget it. He does want students to pass, but it is very hard when he makes his tests this difficult.
He is a very good teacher, simply difficult to understand because of his accent. He doesn't require the book because he posts slides on web campus as wells as study guides and practice tests (Highly recommend looking at). But having the book is very helpful. Also recommend going to supplemental instruction if you have not taken previous Econ class.
Don't understand the hate for this guy. Want an easy econ credit? He has 4 exams, no final, and attendance is not mandatory. I showed up for the tests and that's it. He provides powerpoints and study guides online, which are thorough enough that you could get a B in the class with just those. The book is probably necessary for an A. Great choice!
4 exams, no final, attendance NOT mandatory. Powerpoints and study guides are available online. I did not use the textbook in this class or econ 180. You may need it if material is more difficult for you. While I have managed to maintain a high B, I am aware he curves grades. This may help or hurt you. Straightforward class and solid choice.
If you want to learn something in this class, chose another professor. If you want an easy A this is the class. Curves his exams so much its nearly impossible to fail. He doesn't teach much in the lectures, just talks in circles.
He's a good guy but not a good professor. His lectures and accent will put you to sleep. Only got an A because I read the textbook word for word.
Dr Kader has a Bulgarian accent and was born in Iraq. He is awesome. Print the PPT slides and take notes. If you understand Econ, you will get an A if you show up. The Economics of Discrimination drew some idealistic liberals into class and it wasn't what they wanted to hear. Econ looks at things as they are not as they should be. Kader gets that.
Take this class if you are not very familiar with formal economic theory. If you are an inspired student of economics, this class will put you to sleep. Take ECON 365 (Waddoups is very chill, and excellent) and receive all of what is taught in ECON 180 and more. Seriously, if you know anything about economics already, this class is painful
Econ 180 with Prof. Kader was overall a pleasant experience. This class was taught at 8:30 in the morning, towards the end of the semester he showed Youtube videos instead of lecturing, there were a lot of left leaning students who were very disappointed that this wasn't Marxist economics.
This prof curves so much that its hard to fail. Notes and practice exams are online so literally just come to class and listen to what he says. I didnt use the book (was taking another economics class simultaneously) but you may need it to supplement lecture. Lecture was SO boring but the prof was a nice guy. If you at least try you will pass.
Nice guy but boring as well. Lectures were often a joke as he just went through powerpoints that he posts on his website anyway. Has practice exams for each exam online as well so study each one and you'll do good. Final was his first time doing cumulative and it sucked. Homework is easy too
3 tests and a cumulative final. Practice tests are available online for each test. They are similar to the actual tests, so just go over them at least once before you take your test. Gives 10 extra credit questions on each test. Read the book for in-depth knowledge. He is a nice guy, but lectures might get confusing and/or boring sometimes.
Unfortunately for many (particularly EDU majors, who have this and his ECON 180 class as a requirement WHY???) Kader is the only professor that teaches this particular class. Show up and pay attention to pass; but beware! He makes unrelated/unintelligible examples and out-of-no-where examples for test questions. Has since removed homework, RIP
Prof Kader is boring as hell but, an easy enough A. I didn't(couldn't) pay attention in a single class and just completed the class with 103%. All you have to do is take notes on the powerpoint slides and work on the practice tests. He has 10 bonus questions at the end of each test. He won't make you buy the newest edition of the textbook.
bring back the extra credit :)
Dr. Kader has an accent, but that does not make him a bad professor. What irks me about his teaching style is that he goes on many tangents in his lectures. Also, he is boring. What's cool though is that attendance is extra credit, and he doesn't require the newest textbooks. He also grades on a curve, as he is understanding. Good guy overall.
There are no assignments and no quizzes the entire semester. There are only 4 tests that make up the final grade so if you do poorly on just one, you have no chance for an A. He basically reads off of the slides but its hard to understand his accent sometimes. He had to curve every test because we all did so poorly and attendance as extra credit.
Read the lectures ahead of time to understand him during lectures. His practice exams help a alot but the material overall was hard to understand and then his accent makes it harder for students to understand. He doesnt help at all. I learned more reading by myself than going to his lectures.
Boring lectures. He reads off the slides and goes off tangents about examples in the real world that don't really contribute much to the material that's being learned. Attendance is taken periodically throughout the semester for extra credit, but he gives specific topics and questions that will be on the exams so it'd be very beneficial to attend.
This class was really boring and lectures are very long. But he does provide a practice test before exams that help! I never purchased the textbook or read any notes. All I did was study the practice test and I passed with a B.
non existent on the online class, I can't judge his teaching style or personality because I never saw it. Very long power points, can be confusing at times. He does provide practice exams, that is the only reason I got the grade I did, or I would have done awful. 4 exams is all for your grade.
Professor Kader was absent the entire semester. He did provide practice exams and 16 questions seen on the exam, however, he is no help in actually learning/teaching the content. There was no guidance provided throughout the semester. Only take this class if you're good at math, otherwise, you will struggle alone.
Your grade consists of 4 equally weighted tests. There are no assignments, no discussions, no lectures, no web ex, and no professor. If you like economics youre going to have to teach your self.
There were no lectures nor PowerPoint slides to study, so it was all through the textbook. The homework assignments were difficult to complete and most times it was stuff that did not pop up on the exams. The professor did provide practice exams for every exam and they were extremely helpful.
This class pretty much had no professor and no material to use. However, many of the questions you have could be answered with a quick google search. If you're looking to actually learn about economics though I don't recommend. But it would be easy to get through with an A if you're taking it online. His tests are open book.
EASY A. I literally did 8 hours of work over a whole semester for this class. He doesn't teach, he gives you a textbook and slideshows and posts all the assignments at the beginning, and you just have to get them done. Everything is on quizlet. It is impossible to struggle in this course if you have more than 1/2 a brain cell, it is so easy.
He does not respond to any emails, you learn on your own in this class. It wasn't hard. I study for most of my classes, this one I just did the bare minimum. I took the summer online class, 3 assignments due per week. 4 exams total.
Good if you have a busy semester but need to squeeze in a social science+international req. Had 1 webex meeting at the start and never heard from him again. Workload was12 HWs and 4 exams, all on Pearson (extra $80). Provides plenty of extra study materials. Chegg and Quizlet help. Just be smart about how you study and it'll go smoothly.
Only hosted 1 WebEx meeting and ever since only sent announcements before the exam with long lists of terms and concepts to know for the exam and follow-ups with the class averages. Other than that, we're all on our own. To be fair, the class is only easier if you've taken ECON 102 and/or 103 or take either or both at the same time.
Didn't really learn much, but this was an easy A. 3 attempts on each homework assignment (10 multi choice/insert blank questions). No extra credit, but opened all the homework again last few weeks so you could redo for better grades if you wanted. Exams make up around 50% of grade, but were online and open book; 120 minutes to answer 50 questions.
The class was very easy. You are graded off of quizzes and tests. Tests can be taken only once, all homework you get three tries. At the end of the semester all HW assignments are reopened for a 4th try and the best score is kept for each. All answers are on quizlet..
Homework (Mylab) and exams for every 3-4 chapters (no final). 3 tries on homework. Bunch of resources in file section. No lectures but there are plenty of ppt/documents/practice questions/notes. Easy A in my opinion.
Graded on 12 HW and 4 tests, need to pay for pearson to do HW, overall easy A but you'll learn nothing. Prof dumps everything into the file section on canvas and nothing else, do the practice tests and you'll be fine. HW is very easy and based on the book, tests are open-note and have 50 questions each. Would recommend if you need an easy class.
I enjoyed taking this class though almost all of it is on Pearson. There were a few easy homework assignments due every other week followed by a test on canvas. Easy class and is mostly graded on the exams, I would highly recommend taking this professor!
Graded by 12 homework assignments with three attempts each and exams. No additional resources were ever posted. Don't really learn anything but it is easy.
Econ 180 was a great course and the online version was amazing. I had a pretty busy semester but this course was not very time consuming. I would highly recommend Dr. Kader.
I was super nervous about taking this course this past fall because I had never taken Econ before but it is pretty straightforward. I loved the structure of this online course. Professor Kader gives you all the tools you'll need to succeed. He also gives students ample enough time to complete the homework assignments.
While this class was pretty easy overall, it was pretty annoying. The professor provides basically no resources or content except for very disorganized and summarized lecture slides that don't help much. There are weekly quizzes that you get 3 attempts on, and 3 exams on quiz content. good class if you want an easy A, NOT if you want to learn.
He is a teach yourself from the book professor. You will not have to worry about random information, that you missed in a lecture being on a exam. Because everything is out of the textbook. Open book everything. The practice tests and etc he has posted are worthless. Grading is straight forward. One homework a week and then a exam every 3 weeks.
Ask for help if you need it, I didn't because Prof. Kader was really not personable but ask your course mates. I didn't like that exams were locked until the day of because I had a surgery in the middle of this course and one test was on the day but, I'm sure I could have asked for help. Each week was 3 quizzes/1 exam. Fast paced. A lot of material
Inefficient Professor who does not care for the well-being of his students. Technical issues occur, and students may give a fully detailed email, only to receive an email saying, "Sorry nope". He is very unprofessional and does not have respect for his students time, efforts, or money. Someone like this should not be teaching our future generation.
This class is a straightforward easy A. Professor Kader provides all the resources you need, including practice tests that are key for success. Although the lectures can be dry, using unstuck study and other study tools makes prepping a breeze. Definitely take this if you want an easy credit.
I liked this professor although there was a lot of tests the class was educating. I don't know how some people are saying he wasn't personable, I missed a quiz and he allowed me retake it I just wrote him an email explaining my situation. I suggest contacting him with you issue beforehand if possible if not afterwards.
If you just want to get credit for this class, then this class is for you. Everything is online and on Pearson. You have to pay a fee to have a Pearson account to do the homework, that is due a day before the exam. There is an exam each month that is only open that day. Highly recommend this professor if you enjoy self-pacing.
Assignment's go through Pearson. Decently easy to learn. Exams are open a single day. Not bad.
