talks about things not relevant to class and doesnt teach what is on his exams

totally avoid if at all possible. mean to students and a terrible teacher. i didn't like him at all

THIS GUY IS THE WORST!!!!! DROP HIS CLASS NOW!!!! trust me, i had to sit in his class twice a week. he pauses for no reason to look out the window and "admire the flowers" and he calls himself a donkey all the time. english accent and really

Had hom twice Calc I and III about 20 yrs ago.THings haven't changed much.The deal is-i learned how to teach myself.I became an independent learner.I teach math now in HS.Good luck-hahahaha

HORRIBLE! Unless you know the math before you take the class, its a waste of time.

well, he writes everything he says on the board...including the (and there fore's). if you understood all the material going into the course, you'll survive, if you read the book and ingore him, you'll do better,and the sample exams are very helpful,not a lot of homework,just very dull and unrelated

He's tragic. The worst math teacher I've ever had. He makes mistakes in his work daily and he doesn't know how to actually teach.. he just kind of.. babbles.

Horrible Teacher, never take him, you know there is something wrong with the way he teaches when you get a lot of extra credit to do for the class

RUN AWAY...JUST RUN AWAY

He's terrible. Worst math teacher I ever had. He does not know how to teach and hes painfully boring. The only good thing is that he gives a lot of extra credit. Don't take him!

This guy's a bore...and he makes people feel stupid for asking a simple question. For the love of God...don't take him!

Do Not take this course if you have not already had calc or plan to attend all tutoring sessions. he notes are proving everything not actually explaining it. go to his office hours and let him feel superior to you, he likes that.

worst teacher on the planet of teachers. he gives out practice tests which are fine, but he doesnt go over them, and the tests are crazy. he is hard to understand and worse at explaining them. he makes simple things extremely hard and aggravating. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!

he is awful...i pity you if you choose to take his class...just drop it - you'll learn nothing! he makes everyone feel stupid and doesnt cover even half of the material

This man is a miserable human being. He is the textbook deffinition of what a bad prof is.

Makes you feel stupid on a daily basis!! Doesn't teach 2/3 of the material, but tests you on all the material. On a test, if you don't explain every problem with a long-winded proof (directions don't say proof required), IT'S WRONG! 3/4 of the class failed the test, and he said that it was "a fair test" with lots of "easy points."

awful....avoid him at all costs!

Finite Math is basically Math for english majors. It's math for people who hate math. he teaches it as if we want to have Math's babies. As, below some yonder balcony, we pine for proofs and square roots. basically... he sucks. avoid him.

Space Cadet!!!! I did pretty well in this class, you have to get into the swing of things to understand the material quickly, if you can think on your feet and have mathematical/analytical ability you will do o.k. , if not this class is DOOM CITY for you, your gpa will go straight down the tubes. Better off not taking this class with this spacecade

hard to understand. not recommended.

Barhi is by far one of the worst professors at Rider. He is extremely unclear in what he expects and uses abstract examples that actually make the material more complicated. I do not recommend taking him at all.

Rider students, heed the warning: DO NOT TAKE DR. BAHRI. He is hands-down the worst professor at Rider. He complicates Mathematics far beyond what he needs to, doesn't explain things clearly enough, and is about the least helpful, rudest person I think I've ever met. Avoid this calamitous idiot at all costs when having to take a Gen-ed math course.

To any students with disabilities, I highly recommend you do not take him, at least not without providing an accommodation letter, explaining your disability. He is extremely vindictive and refused to understand why his actions were abusive and extremely hurtful. He looks down on students despite his claims and will angrily scold them for anything.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!! He over complicates math and makes it so hard to understand. Homework given is not what we cover in class and by the time you get to the test you are so confused. He wants you to do math his way and if you don't he will mark it wrong and take off a lot of points. If you are not good at math do not take Professor Bahri

I had to drop the class because it was going to hurt my GPA and everyone got a 30-40% on the first test out of 3 tests. This guy is not good He made us buy a book and didn't even use it and when he used it he changed the whole problem. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR

By far the worst Professor at Rider University. He does not use canvas so it is very hard to know your grade. Very rude person and doesnt like when people ask questions. Teaching style is VERY old fashioned. If you have this teacher please drop this class ASAP, trust me..

For the first few weeks, his lectures are useless and have nothing to do with what you're supposed to be learning. He barely gives out practice work but when he does it's not related to what we learn in class. No one knew what was going on at all. only take this professor if you like suffering and learning nothing of importance

Argued with me about my accommodations because he didn't like that I used my computer for notes.He then accused me of abusing my accommodations because he didn't like that I had my computer. He has very strict rules of homework to be turned in that he never went over so most students did the homework "incorrectly" for the first assignment.

Does not listen to his students and has absurd rules.He will tell you to meet him at his office hours but will refuse to schedule outside of that time if you have a scheduling conflict (like a class) during his office times.He has only 5 assignments that add to your total grade.His ONLY communication is through email but he doesn't check it.

Be ready to read through the textbooks yourself because it is hard to learn almost anything from his lectures. He's very intelligent, but he doesn't know how to articulate his thoughts so his students can understand him. So many people do poorly in his class that he has to curve the grades by a lot just to make sure his entire class does not fail.

This professor is really specific with everything he does. He wouldn't let students turn in homework with paper that had the little side things on it. He also waited until the last minute to start teaching anything when he knew homework was due in 2 days. Do not take this professor unless you wanna be stressed. I promise you it's not worth it.

Dr. Bahri is a mathematician, but NOT a good teacher. College students in a 100 level class are not prepared to be discussing mathematics in a way that he expects. He is not understanding of this fact and is VERY strict with accommodations. His class is VERY DIFFICULT, not because the content is hard, but because he makes it hard for NO REASON!!!!

I really don't think he should be teaching 100 level math. He's a smart guy, obviously, and knows his stuff when it comes to math, but having him for a basic math class I was only taking for the gen-ed credit was a lot. He over complicates everything, and can be snippy when asked questions. If you're not a math major -- stay away.

Worst professor at Rider University. Avoid at all costs. Office hours are useless. Should be fired.

This professor teaches math like a broken calculator—inputs go in, nonsense comes out. Their "explanations" are hieroglyphics in a oral form. You'll leave each lecture more confused than when you arrived. The only thing you'll learn is how to teach yourself from YouTube.

If the first thing you're gonna do is boast about how difficult your class is gonna be, maybe you shouldn't be teaching. Dr Bahri overcomplicates what should be relatively simple math to an unrecognizable degree. Prepare to write utter nonsense in your notes as he writes every word he says up on the board for you to copy. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Avoid if you can

While Dr. Bahri is a smart guy, he is an awful professor. Be prepared for headaches and having to teach yourself the material since his explanations and lecture style are abysmal (also, office hours are useless). Exams were worth 80% of the final grade, with homework being the other 20%. Save yourself the pain and don't take him unless necessary.
