His class is tough, but his grading process is very fair. He has many different office hours available to help students with whatever problems they may have. He does speak english with his native accent, but nonetheless, it is not difficult to understand.

If you show up for each class meeting, you will get at least a C in his class. His tests and quizes are easy, they are mostly from the assigned homework (of course different numbers will be used). Students hyperbole about his accent and teaching methods

very helpful

he is a good teacher, helpful, but he does not give you the same problems he goes over with in the test!

Although his English is not very well, he explains the lessons so well and logically. I love the way he teaches

good teacher

English s not a big problem, he will explain all your problems, they way he teachs is easy to understand. You should take his class if you really want to learn math.

very nice teacher. clear and helpful, he teaches you real stuff. the test was not hard. besides, you really learn.

he is VERY helpful the problem is students who do not want to learn give the instructor bad raitings. I think I earned the grade and he helped me by teaching me and ALWAYS asking the class if we had questions. If you want to get something out of a math class and be challengin this teacher is it

He's a very good teacher. Will always explain things if you do not understand. Quizzes and Tests are fairly simple if you do the homework. He explains everything in detail and gives a lot of examples.

He is a fairly easy teacher and his tests and quizzes are pretty straightforward. You will do well if you listen to lecture and do your HW. Although he does have an accent you get used to it after awhile. He is nice and always willing to help if you have questions.

he explain clearly and is very nice. work hard for a lot of homework and you will easily pass this class.the tests would be hard but you can drop one,and sometimes he give extra points.he is a fair professer and really care about students.work hard and you will get A.

ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!!... better take a class in short hand because this guy rushes his notes at a speed of about 1 board a minute... amazing that smoke doesn't come out of the markers.

Stop crying, he effective and solid. Cuts out junk and heavy on calculator. I'll take that indian accent over any asian garble any day

Good professor. He takes the time to explain to you if you have a problem or you don't understand something. He has a strong accent, but you get use to it.

He does have a pretty heavy accent, but you get used to it. You get homework but you get plenty of time to do it. Sometimes there're pop-quizzes but as long as you've been paying attention they're not that bad, and they're not worth that much anyway. I love that he's very approachable, more than willing to help. He's also easy going with attendance

He has quite a thick accent and assigns quite a lot of homework, but you actually do understand the basic concepts, and I'm not one to like math.

He is an awesome professor...sure he has an accent...but overall he aint bad. I thought his lectures were clear and his test werent duable. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Alemu is a great and knowledgeable teacher. Even though many complain about his accent he is completely understandable and is good at explaining the material. He does assign homework every day, but most of the problems are odd therefore one can check the answers. I recommend him and must say is very clear in explicating the math problems.

Despite everybody's comments about his accent which in reality is a false statement, he is a GREAT teacher. He is self explanatory, he is clear, and he knows what he is teaching. You can't even notice his accent once he starts teaching. I highly recommend him and can honestly say that he is one of the most brightful, and intelligent teachers I've h

Mr. Alemu is an awesome teacher. He is really good at explaining the math material, and he is willing to definitely help you and has available office hours where you can talk to him about a particular lesson you do not understand. Many people complain about his ACCENT, but the truth is that we all have an accent, and he is perfectly understandable.

Mr. Alemu is a strict teacher, however very understandable. Many individuals complain about his accent, though these are the persons who do not attend class and deserve whatever unpleasant grade they acquired. I highly suggest Mr. Alemu if not only interested in passing the class with a decent grade, but also concerned about learning.

I took him for Winter '07 and I was late 99% of the whole session.. He was sort of mean or rude in a way when u ask some "stupid" question... but u can change his opinion by being a good student, participate!!! it'll help ur grade a lot if he remembers the effort u put in. He's not too hard but definitely not easy.. He's helpful though, so take him

This teacher is great, it is very easy to understand and he cares about students. I recomend this teache, Es la neta!

Definitely one of the most helpful math teachers I've ever had. His tests are not that hard if you understood the material in his lectures and did all the homework. The homework may be a bit much but it's worth doing. The final is basically a compilation of previous tests (same problems, just different numbers). Very willing to help students!

i took him in winter .he was easy even he has an accent. but i used to guess in his class. coz i have known those material .but some acpect i still need to study. study his quizes and tests before final . u will got A . FOR SURE! if ur average is high too . u should be get A in his class.

For those ignorants who complain about Mr. Alemu's accent! Do you think you speak perfect English? Are you British? I do not think so. I am guessing you folks are the typical individuals who want it easy. But, Hello? We are in college! Mr. Alemu is a great teacher clear and strict and if he has an accent have you heard yours? Highly Recommend Him.

I took him during the fall semester and found him to be really fast. In addition, if you have a question he doesn't change the method or the way to show you what he did. Found him to be trying he'll just keep repeating himself until you just say yea. Read the book for better understanding

First and foremost all the criticism towards Mr. Alemu comes because he requires attendance, homework, and a willingness to learn math. Although he has an accent, he is completely understandable and is very passionate about the subject. He is indisputably one of the best teachers in the Math Department. Do your homework, attend class daily, and stu

great math teacher. very clear and to the point. he does not confuse u at all. he knows his stuff! average amount of hmwk but if u do it u will totally pass the class!

Professor Alemu is overall a good teacher. He is extremely helpful, and understands the subject. He emphasizes technique, and uses the textbook as a reference to what you should be doing. Read the textbook before hand and you'll be alright. I had to drop due to time constraint; with proper attention this would easily be my favorite class. recommend

I am currently taking his class and i understand everything he taches he helps students a lot. He is understandable and is friendly if you ask him for help. he never gets mad

he explains everything good. he gives a worksheet w/all the semesters hw, is our responsability to complete the chapter hw by the day of the chapter test. pretty simple :D he does a section a day like alot of teachers, is not a big deal trust me just do ur hw before the test and do ok on the tests and easy quizes. ull do ok

he explains everything good he gives a worksheet w/all the semesters hw, is our responsability to complete the chapter hw by the day of the chapter test. pretty simple :D he does a section a day like alot of teachers, is not a big deal trust me just do ur hw before the test and do ok on the tests and easy quizes. ull do ok

This prof is very helpful and super esay. Just study all stuff which he review before every test, u will be fine and more supprised on your test, 90% is the same in review just exchange the number. Easy A. let take him!

Professor Alemu is a very good teacher. I recommend him to anyone. He should have more classes available. I wish i could take my statistics class with him. Wish all teachers were this good.

At first I really hated this class, taken during winter break, because I was having a hard time with the material, then one day I stayed after class and asked him how I could improve my test scores and he gave me really great advice. It showed me that if you need help you need to ask. Hes a good teacher and is helpful, just take the initiative.

He is a pretty friendly teacher. He hands out a lot of homework(even on weekends). I am currently taking his class(Fall 10). I just think that he goes through the material to quickly. If you can get get a good grade with this teacher. You can take any math teacher on! He requires a lot of determination on you're part to succeed. Over Eehh..

I absolute love this teacher. He is by far the best math instructor I've ever had!

At first i wasnt sure whether to take his class or not. But i gave it a try in 110, I discovered he's a GREAT professor and very friendly he can be strict at times but as long as u pay attention in class and do hw you'll do fine. He is always willing to help. I am currently taking I 115 with him and i like the class. I highly recommend taking his c

he is a really good professor. he teaches at a good pace and doesnt rush through the chapters. i though i wouldnt understand him because of his accent, but i did. his test are easy and so is the hw, but you have to put effort into it. i recommend this teacher. he is willing to help with whatever questions you may have.

really good at teaching and making sure his students understand the work!! he doesn't like when students are late so come to class on time! his quizzes are sometimes worksheets or classwork. he is awesome

Very helpful if you ask, takes his time teaching and doesn?t rush anyone. If you have further question after class he will take the time to help you understand the material. Over all his a good teacher.

Study the Quizzes bcuz they are vry similar to the Tests. He does rush to leave after evry class. We had a Final Proj. so recommend to learn excel/minitab.Class avg low C in which is dangerous to have right before the Final which is 30% of your grade! Math Lab+Doing the Homework+making friends in class to go over the math problems,helped me! =)

I had taken Mr. Alemu's class for Math 110 and was satisfied with his teaching approach and methods to instructing the material. So I had registered for his Math 115 and passed with flying colors! He IS a great instructor IF the student ALSO puts its part in REALLY dedicating & TRYING to understand the material. Definitely recommend him!

Take him if you want a fair teacher. He gives you two breaks for each class. I took him during winter, and every week we had a lot of homework! However, quizzes were not that difficult and all material was covered in the lectures! He goes over quizzes to make sure you learn. Overall great teacher. I got an A. Takes off lowest test scores

I toke Maths 125 in Summer with him, I got an A (lot of homework, but rewarding). Stats: Fall Semester, I got an A (still lots of homework)

Took him for Trig and Calc I. A very fair professor who is passionate about his field! His accent takes time to get used to but isn't an issue after a week or two. He tells you indirectly what's going to be on the exams and expects you to do homework (hint). Office hours were never a problem. Overall good quality and will even give extra credit!

gives hw for each section (20-30 probs each section l around 6 sect. per chapter) collects hw on test day. he goes fast so dont miss any days he rarely takes attendance but if you miss class or day dream u will fall behind because he covers two sections a day on classes that only meet twice a week. hes a good teacher work hard and you will get an A

Not even my high school teacher taught as well as him! I'm in my 2nd yr of college & I avoided getting a math class I decided to take mr alemu & Ipassed now I'm gonna add him for the next level. He is fair & easy don't miss class because he covers a lot in one day! Deffinetly would recomend him!

I pretty like this teacher! I think he is an Indian~Indian is very good at math. when I take his lecture, I can feel that he is very good at math and he is intelligent! however, his accent is ...so that sometimes you can not understand him very well. but do not worry.his notes is really helpful. and he will also review and give us example test

Statistics is not difficult, he has a unique way of teaching it, I would recommend him only because he gives practice question sheets that are VERY similar to the ones no the exam. HW is not worth much, but will help at the end for your grade. He is really understanding and helpful if you ask him for help.

his lectures are very fast pace so be alert and take notes since exams are base off that. Calculus is not hard, but if you dont put in the work you will be that group that ends up dropping the course. Therefore, do your HW and study. The only complaint I have is that majority of us do not finish our exams or are able to check due to limited time.

I'd say Alemu is a straightforward professor. If you pay attention to the things he points out that will be on your quizzes and exams (mostly the worksheets he gives out during class), you'll definitely pass his class with flying colors. Hwk is not worth much, but it'll help you boost your grade a little bit.

Summer session was fast, but he managed to cover the entire book while still having time to review whatever the class needed help on.

Took him during fall semester got a C. I'm so happy I took him, show some effort and participate and you can pass! very kind man.

Great teacher, he is very caring. Just make sure to your part, and he will do his.

Everything that you face throughout the semester is stated within the first day. The class requires near perfect attendance, great effort, and most of all- a great attitude. Don't have any of these? Don't take Alemu. He simplifies math and is a genius.

Mr. Alemur currently taking for calculus 2. I love his lectures and notes. Very good notes, very detailed. His accent is a bit thick and it might be difficult to understand the first few weeks, after that your able to understand him better. Very clear on what will be on exam. Study. Yes study guide. He know his material well. One of the best.

I took professor Alemu in summer 2016. His lectures are pretty intense, so it's important to always show up on time and ready to learn. We covered 3 sections of a chapter everyday and had a quiz at the end of the week. He has an accent but it'll be understandable in a day or two. Homework isn't really point heavy, but he recommends it for the tests

Very good professor. He has a bit of an accent but not much of a problem. Reviews homework and gives out study guides for exam. Exams an quizes are planned ahead of time so no surprises there. Attendence is important, a lot of students missed class and didnt catch up so make sure you ask questions. Overall good math teacher. Will take again.

He takes attendance randomly and assigns lots if homework. He cares about his student and enjoy teaching math. Although he is not really intelligent, he tries his best to teach his student calculus. You will only use textbook for homework. His tests are based on his lecture and very easy.

great teacher for those who are willing to learn would've received higher grade if I did hw and studied for quizzes. he gives practice tests so do them and make sure to study them bc its v similar to actual tests. collects hw every time tests are taken. tells u when quizzes and tests are going to be taken ahead of time so be ready! dont skip class!

I took him for summer 2017, and he was pretty easy. He gives study guides for each test and extra credit with helps your grade.

Ok so I have taken a ton of math at elac cause I'm a computer science major, I have had many teachers and alemu is the ONLY teacher I will look for on the schedule to take the next math I need. I have taken him 3 separate times and I feel very prepared for the next level after I'm done. He's really approachable and teaches several approaches.

Very straight forward, drops lowest test score, no hoops to jump through.

Professor Alemu has a clear grading criteria; follow it and you'll pass. Winter session is very fast paced but that is obvious since it is a 5 week course. He is a really good instructor, definitely recommend.

He is one of the best professors in the mathematics department of ELAC, which is the best department in the whole college. A lot of help from them with tutors as well.

Very good instructor, I would take if again if i had the chance.

Prof Alemu is a great professor, but only if you're actually paying attention. If you don't pay any attention and skip class, you really won't do great in the class. He is always open to answering questions and he genuinely knows and cares about the stuff he teaches.

He is a great professor. He is caring and will explain the concept until you understand. Quizzes and tests are easy if you pay attention in class and do the homework.

Very Patient. Quizzes are not hard, exam drop one low. The final study guide all come from quizzes and test. A lot of homework, if you take seriously to do the homework, you will pass exam easy.

He is a good professor. Quizzes and texts are super easy. He may refer to the book or the exercises he mentioned in class. The only thing is, he has heavy accent and the writing is not clear sometimes. Anyway, he is a great professor.

Professor Alemu did have a strong accent but if you get used to it, it doesn't really matter. His standard is strict ,but the quizes and exams are all from the examples he gave on the class and homework. Therefore it is quite easy to get an A. There will be one quiz and one exam for every chapter,so you have to work on it.

Professor Alemu was one of the best math teachers I have ever had! His lectures were clear and concise, actively participate in class and he will favor you. Gives out extra credit opportunities, very helpful any time of the day. Plus, this professor is passionate about his work and that makes class a lot more fun. Do your job and you'll pass.

His lecture is clear and easy to understand! He is always ready to help. Yes he will give a lot of homework, quizzes and test for each chapter, even though they are easy. The good thing is, he always reminds you one week or more before the quizzes or tests. As long as you do the homework and exercises he gives in class, you will got A easily!

Very nice professor! He makes everything easy to understand. Have quiz, test, and HW for each chapter and one final exam (questions are straightforward). Not a tough grader and always gives extra credits to make sure you can get an A.

As long as you show up for class and actually try, you'll pass. He was very kind and gave a lot of extra credit opportunities.

He is very nice, for the class, we have quizzes and tests, but before the test, he will give 10pts extra credits, and directly add the tests, 100% recommend

I would give a higher rating if it weren't for his very messy handwriting and strict grading rules(must show work in a very particular way which can be annoying and lead to deductions) He also has a strong accent but this didnt really bother me but something to look out for. Tip: Take advantage of your SI leaders! shout out to Kimberly. EC offered

If you're taking math 230, I would totally recommend him. Especially for a short term like winter or summer. He helps you a lot to understand in the short amount of time!

He is an awesome professor.

Honestly, it's Calc, so the subject is tough. Just make sure you pay attention in class, and if you get confused, go to office hours or SI. He is straightforward, so he puts his part; you just gotta put yours. Godspeed fellow STEM
