bad teacher. don take. lecture not clear.always skip steps when hes teaching. you couldn't learn anything from him.always laid back.during final time, rush,and hard. don't take.

One word: LAZY He made up tests at the last minute, they were too long and didn't reflect the material. Let's you use notes and book for some exams, so students do not complaint. He wants you to correct your tests. LAZIEST PROF I HAVE EVER HAD.

not the best class. Boring and goes fast through the book. gives quiz every week wich. 1st test was from the chapter test in book and quizes are from quiz on book but unless u know Math take him cause if you don't he will confuse you. I have a 4.0 and his class is definately going to screw up my GPA sucks. he seems lazy and arrogant

WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! Do not take unless you want to get more confused. The way he teaches is just lazy always using his laptop to write notes he uses MathXL which SUCKS!!! and seems to be the type that gets distured everytime you ask a question and when you do makes you look dumb.So please save yourself by NOT TAKING HIS CLASS!!!!

The tests are easy, but he is not helpful at all. He always skips classes and doesn't teach much.

Teaches from his laptop. He doesn't like gettin up to use the board. He expects you to tech yourself and he talks to you like you know the material. Avoid him

Does all his lectures from laptop and goes into lecture notes from previous semesters. Uses examples only from the book never his own. If you enjoy teaching yourself the material he's the teacher for you because he discusses the material like if you came in with the knowledge of it. Good luck. Take him at your own risk.

I suspect all good reviews are from himself. He doesnt teach but write his blog during class. Often cancle class and end class much earlier than normal. Worst professor, if you do not believe, just ask someone who have atttended his class.

Possibly the laziest and worst math professor at pcc, is never in class, everything is online, does not go over work or homework, if you are good at math and teach yourself while doing lots of busy work online, enjoy.

He is the worst, everything is online and when he is in class on rare occasion he might as well not be, he expects you to know the subject already, he is not a professor he is only a presenter.

Not a hard class or subject, but professor Shamam makes it a horrible expierience, he is no help and extremely lazy, skips out on teaching the basics. The only way you will learn is from yourself, a tutor or other classmates, save yourself the frustration and take ANY other professor. He is a nice guy but he should not be teaching period.

So glad to be done with this class, worst professor I have ever had, don't take him!

If you take a course with this professor make sure you do all the homework and online quizzes because there is no other way you will learn, he is no help.

If you aren't already great at math and actually want to learn, don't take this professor, if you do, you might as well go open your book and teach yourself, or get tutoring sessions( which you shouldn't need with any other professor) avoid him.

THE WORST PROFESSOR. All I can say is do not take his class. You will end up wasting your time and money. Avoid this professor whatever it takes.

Make sure you know what you're getting into before enrolling with this professor, he is going to seem easy at first but his laziness will come out later. It is not a hard subject so if you're good with math than you should be fine, I not I would suggest a tutor.

worst

If there is an award for "Least effort put in by professor", he would definitely be in the running. Cancels class all the time and makes it pretty obvious that he doesn't want to be there when he does show up.

Most of the classes were either cancelled or subbed (the subbed classes might as well have been cancelled). When he was there, the lectures were short, disorganized, and not very clear. Stat is not a very hard subject, but I would strongly recommend taking another teacher. The class felt like a joke.

To be honest, he is pretty knowledgeable. However, being knowledgeable is different from having the ability to pass the knowledge to his students, and cancelling classes more than three times and rushing through first few chapter in a week or two is definitely not a good thing to do. Also, he tends to assume that we already know the term he use.

Shamam was 30+ min late the first day of class and cancelled at least once a week. He was rude and creeped on certain people. Shamam was VERY unprepared and his lectures and attendance only got worse throughout the semester. His tests were typically open book and always were allowed a 'Formula Sheet." TONS of homework+quizzes given online.

30 min late to class on the first day. Cancelled classes, all hmwk/quizzes online however, it's A LOT of work. Lectured as if we were already knowledgeable in the material. Class is pretty much self-taught. The text book used is not helpful at all neither is the online program used (MyMathLab). Examples in book say things like "use technology."

If you're majoring in CS or CE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Linear Algebra is a hugely important part of mathematics, especially for those majors, and with this guy you won't learn at all. He gave us a different professors test for our final that was 12 questions. Most people answered 1 to 3 total. I answered 2 and got an A...

Late on the first day 20+ min. Hits on students. Assigns lots of homework. Grades leniently. Requires the online textbook in order to turn in hw. Has Ph. D but cant teach. He knows the material but cant convey them. Hold on to tests until the end of the semester. Allows test corrections. Find a different Professor.

the worst. easy A as long as you participate in class and attempt the homework. but if you actually want to learn anything dont take him

One of the worst profs I've ever had. Constantly late to class. Cancelled 6+ times. Very smart, but BAD at teaching. Does not let you take notes. Constantly walking out of the classroom. Does not return tests on time and grading is not clear at all. If you want to LEARN calculus, then take another class. You will be teaching yourself here.

worst prof ive had so far, had to teach myself everything. he mostly just sat there and told us weird jokes. everything is online on his own website please dont take him youll regret it

If I can give this professor a 0. I would. Unfortunately, he seems like a great professor, but he cant teach at all. To be fair, he always answers your questions if you need help, but he will teach as minimal as he can. If you took calculus 1 a while back and forgot everything, do not take him. He teaches in a way, that you SHOULD know most things

Avoid this professor at all costs, because he did not teach this online class at all, and all he gave is a youtube video of other prof. The exams are in class (even though is online) and its worth 40%! Quiz, hw, and final exams are worth 20% and its on webassign. So if you do take him, be prepared to study by urself.

What a joke. Imagine signing up to teach a class (along others) and bailing halfway through the semester. Who does he think he is? Easily one of the worst professors ever. If you end up with him, don't stress too much as he'll probably drop out and you'll get a better replacement anyway.

Surprised he's still employed at PCC. He doesn't teach, barely engages, and acts like he'd rather be anywhere else. It's confusing why he even signed up to teach if he clearly has no interest in doing so.
