I personally loved Dr. Mussa as he is the only math instructor in my life who responds to questions nicely. He is hard to understand, but only at first. He also works very fast (although efficient as hell) so it is a challenge to catch up. If no calc experience, maybe take someone else, but he was excellent imo. Do problems with himask questions.

His lectures are extremely fast, but somewhat easy to follow once you get used to his accent. He was helpful and would respond nicely to suggestions and corrections. He seemed like a nice, nice man, and was really willing to help in his office hours. But, If I had not taken AP Calc, I might not have done as well. BEWARE OF FINAL! Challenging.

Mussa is a great math professor. If you ask him questions, he tries his best to help you understand concepts. His accent can be hard to understand at times, but it isn't that big of a issue.

He is bit hard to understand at first and covers material very fast, but he is very nice and funny at times. Calc is tough at UTD and the homework and tests are set by the department not the individual teacher, so no matter who u take its all the same. Except the lab portion, the TA you choose can make all the differnce since they grade everything

Mussa is a very hard teacher to understand at the beginning that is for sure, honestly, go to his office hours and he will explain everything to you. The homework and exams and also quizzes are set by the department and the teachers as a whole and not by the individual. I took him a year ago and came out with a B. Plus, calc is generally hard here.

Dr. Mussa is a very patient professor and will explain things to you if you are struggling. You eventually get used to his accent after the first few classes. He does go quickly but the material is definitely doable. He has you work examples in class and goes over them to explain the process.

His accent was hard to understand in the beginning but i got used fast. Overall, he was a pretty good teacher. He explains everything very well and breaks each step down for you which i really like. He does many examples of problems. PLTL also helped. Never took calc before and its supposed to be tough at UTD. I still made an A because of him!

This professor is very helpful if you ask him. He has a very thick accent but through the semester you will be able to understand him. You will need to take notes in the class and go over them in order to understand a little bit more. Overall this class wasn't bad and the professor is not horrible. He actually cares and willing to help.

I took this guy last fall and was worried about math (it's my worst subject). He's difficult to understand but you get used to it after about a week. He goes through material fine and things aren't hard unless you don't practice. I ended up getting an A+ in the class. Just show up to lecture and do practice problems (not just homework).

He has an accent, so it takes a few classes to get used to it. He knows what he's doing, but sometimes he goes quickly so you have to pay attention. Theres also a lot of homework involved. Not much outside studying if you pay attention in class and do the homework. Overall he is a good teacher and makes sure you are prepared.

He has an accent but you get used to it. He is very kind and will make sure you understand all the topics covered in class before moving on. His test reviews were extremely useful as he reviews mostly what is on the test. I highly recommend him.

He is a great teacher. His class is pretty doable If you got to class everyday, take good notes and go to his office hours.

I thought he was a good teacher but I am good at math If you are not good at math do not take his class He moves FAST in the lectures and doesnt keep organized If you do all the THQ and homework you should be okay but use the view example on the homework site to understand the class better and how to work the problems

He's a solid professor for Differential Calculus. He's very friendly, knows his stuff and explains it in a very easily understandable way. He has an accent but you get used to it after the first week and it's really not that big of a deal. He's a good teacher and I'd recommend him.

I was so happy to take his class last semester. He is good professor ever.

If you take time to do homework and come to class prepared, it lecture is effective.

Dr. Mussa is a great math teacher! I took this class w/ a different prof before him and I bombed it but ended with an A in Dr. Mussa's class. He's crazy smart and kind and wants you to do well. His accent is a little thick but it wasn't that much of an issue to me. Do all the quizzes & homeworks and you're golden.

As someone who had never taken Calculus before this class, Professor Mussa made me enjoy a class that was still hard for me. He is always smiling, speaks very kindly, and is lenient if you explain your situation. He does have an accent, but most people I know had no issues understanding him. Goes fast and writes A LOT, but explains thoroughly.

I loved Professor Mussa. Sweetest soul, always smiling. You can tell he loves math and he thoroughly explains concepts. He does go a bit fast but you'll get by just fine. He has a thick accent but after a while you pick up on it. If you're taking his class, sit in the front, he writes a lot and it's sometimes hard to read from the back.

Good Teacher just a bit of an accent and tends to go fast at times. If you do take him, sit at the front as it is easier to read the board compared to the back.

I'm quite surprised at all the low ratings. Mussa is someone who writes a lot of information on the board for you to write down. He writes down all the steps you need to know. He does have a bit of an accent, and he does go pretty fast, so if you are not someone who is ok with writing a lot and a slightly, fast paced class, then Mussa isn't for you

I love him so much he is amazing. He slows the concepts down and explains them in detail and really sits down with you to answer questions. He provides very good notes and has a ton of practice problems to help u with the hw. I recommend him and don't understand the hate that he gets.

Hands down the professor best at UT Dallas

Solid professor. Yes he has an accent, but you get used to it in a week. Sit in the front half of the class because his writing can get messy when he goes fast. I feel like this is a given, but go to class too many people skip. Also make sure your trig skills are good.

Mussa is great, but the course is not. If you have the option to take this course somewhere else, TAKE IT. Also, PLTL is a must if you want a good grade, trust me. The homework and quizzes are usually easy, but the exams are often much more difficult and the department is regulated very poorly. Again, take this course somewhere else if you can!

As long as you are going to class regularly, this is a fairly simple class. He does go a little fast when lecturing, so make sure you are asking questions. There isn't a lot of review materials outside of class, so I recommend buying the online program. He's also a very easy grader and gives back partial credit. Weekly hw and quizzes + 3 tests.

Class is super easy, especially if you like math. If you ask a lot of questions, DO NOT take him, he has a hard time understanding what you ask him and he goes on random tangents that don't even answer the question you asked. Other than that, the department is super structured and all the quizzes/tests are exactly like the homeworks.

If you are not a math person and you happened to take Prof. Mussa, don't panic :) he is caring and assessible outside class. He responses to emails fairly quick and covers a lot in the lectures, so if you choose not to go to class, good luck at doing your HWs and quizzes. No participate grade, 2 midterms, 1 cumulative finals, and weekly HW.

This professor is amazing. If you are even an average student, you will be able to get a great grade with him as your lecture professor. Most of the people here are probably not good students with bad studying habits. He is always willing to help you, and even welcomes students from other classes. He is the best professor I have ever had! take him.

To pass him, you need to come to class. He does everything on whiteboards so you need to take notes and follow him while he teaches. He will stop and reexplain if you don't get it and will make sure you get it. However, he is not very accessible out of class. There is weekly homework and quiz, but it is manageable. He is a friendly guy

He is amazing Professor. well if you are not study , working on HWs and attend the class it might be hard. he always helping his student right after the class and in his office. he has accent so what is the big deal ? he delivered the material properly . i will take his course definitely.

Professor goes over lecture pretty quick, so pay attention. Asks questions if you are lost, he will stop and help you understand. There are quizzes every week after the homework, which are extremely similar if not verbatim. Just practice and memorize. Exams are a bit tough, so STUDY. If you complete ALL hw and quizzes, you will be okay.

Prof. Mussa is a good professor and really understands Calculus. The only thing to be aware of is he has fairly strong accent and moves through lectures very quickly. The first week or two was hard to keep up. However, I feel like I got used to his pace and he honestly makes the class go by fast. Would recommend if you enjoy math.

He is caring , organized and teaches very well. that is wrong . before you blame the department and the Professor please work hard . there is no free grade .

lectures are fast so I kinda ended up writing stuff down in class and figuring it out later. def a strong accent but its still easy to understand him IMO. quizzes are kinda hard but lowest 1 gets dropped, same w homework. examples given in class are good for solving hw questions so u should take good/ organized notes if u wanna succeed

Professor Mussa is fair, and will give back points where they are deserved. I like his no-nonsense lecture style, and it is easy to keep up as long as you go to every class (he does not post anything on eLearning).

As with the rest of the math department, homework and quizzes are on a weekly basis. Professor Mussa is difficult to understand at times, but is otherwise very knowledgeable and good at conveying concepts. Make sure to ask questions if you do not understand concepts, as he will not revisit them very often.

Dr Mussa is very helpful and carrying .he has accent but that is not an issue. he is accessible before and after class .you should attend class and work on the homework. attendance is mandatory .

Professor Mussa is wonderful! He writes his lectures on the whiteboard and doesn't use a projector, so you can take your time and digest the material he writes down. He really cares about his students and wants them to pass with the best grades possible. Answers all the questions thoroughly as well. I'd take him for every math class if I could.

Prof Mussa is very organized , carrying and very helpful . He explained the material till we understand….He's a great professor and enjoyed his class .

Prof Mussa , explained the topics very well and engage students by asking question . You should do work on Quizzes and Homework's .

Best professor for Math 1326 if you're willing to put in the work. There's a homework assignment and quiz due weekly. Studying the homework assignment and in-class examples will prepare you well for the quiz. Ask any and all questions, he is patient and will go over the material until you understand. There is also a curve at the end of the course.

Professor Mussa is amazing . He cares about his student his lecture notes are very organized . He emailed us the slides weekly based . We are following and taking notes while he's teaching . We had two HWs and very helpful for our quizzes . Please Don't write unnecessary comments .Cheers

He's amazing and is the best professor I had this semester. He breaks down every single concept and re-explains until you actually understand it. He's also so sweet and actually cares about your grades. Would hands down take him in every math class of mine. Idk how some people are saying he's awful.

Professor is great and very organized . He clearly explain the material . Well his ace ent is a bit tick but you get used to it . He's always in his office during office hour and help you a lot .

He is a caring professor who explains very well for any questions you have. He's funny and although he has an accent it is not so hard to understand. He does release weekly slides but after classes. He does not get made even if multiple people ask about the same step he will explain every time.

He's amazing and the best professor I've had this semester. He's very helpful. If you miss a lecture and don't study, the class becomes hard; otherwise, he's incredibly sweet and truly cares about his students. If you miss class and don't study, you can't blame the professor. Hands down, I would take him for every math class.

He is very organized and one of the best professors I have ever had. He is very caring toward his students. Please do not write untruthful comments to fellow students. I would love to take his class for every math course. Do not expect free grades—you should work hard and attend the lectures.

Professor Mussa is a genuinely caring instructor. His lecture notes are well organized and easy to follow, which makes the course material clear and accessible. attending lectures and studying independently are essential to doing well. He truly demonstrates care and respect for his students.

Prof. Mussa is amazing &genuinely cares about his students.He explains things clearly, and repeat topics until everyone understands.He gives great review questions with detailed solutions for exams Don't expect free grades you do have to work hard but he gives you everything you need to succeed.I'dtake him again for every math class if I could.

Prof. Mussa isvery helpful. He prepares full solutions for every homework and provides thorough examreviews His solutions are accurate,and I have never seen errors in them. Also,there is no policy stating that each of the three exams is worth 25% in the syllabus,so please don't mislead fellow students.iwould gladly take Prof for every math course.

Prof Mussa is amazing with deep knowledge of the subject.He explains concepts patiently until students fully understand.He is flexible,kind, and supportive of his students' success. Igreatly enjoyed the course andlearned a great deal.Some negative comments are misleading and do not reflect the quality of his teaching or his dedicationto students.

Professor Mussa is caring and very supportive of his students. Although the course initially felt scary, he breaks down the material and makes itmuch easier to understand. He prepares thorough homework and exam review solutions, which are extremely helpful for studying. He is veryrespectful. We can definitely tell who writes negative comments 😊.

The professor is very helpful. If you miss classes, it can be hard and you may struggle on your own. He provides solutions for each homework assignment and exam reviews, which is wonderful and helps a lot but you still need to work through them yourself. Don't wait until the last minute.He truly cares about his students.

Professor Mussa, thank you for your encouragement and helpfulness. He truly cares about and is very respectful toward his students. His lectures and review questions are well organized and clearly taught. Professor Mussa is the best, and I would take his class again for every math course if possible.

Goes very fast with teaching. Doesn't really use his email a lot, so you have to go to office hours or speak to him after class. Sends notes thru email though, often a little late. Does have an accent, but it's not hard to understand if you've been around ppl who have different accents. Nice guy, will re-explain something if you don't understand.

Professor Mussa, thank you for teaching me and for your encouragement and care. Your lectures are well organized and clearly presented. I am truly grateful. I would gladly take his class again for any math course.

Prof. Mussa is very organized . He is helpful to his students and explains concepts clearly. He is among the best professors in the department. Any attempts to mislead others should cease we are well aware of who is responsible and why.

Professor Mussa is one of the best and most respectful professors we have. Today I heard from friends about some people who tried to mislead students, and it was truly shocking and disappointing. Professor Mussa is incredibly kind and always cares about his students. I would gladly take him for any mathematics course.

Of course, Prof. Mussa is one of the best, and his way of breaking concepts down is very helpful for self-study. He has an accent, but you get used to it, and it isn't an issue.

I swear , don't mislead other students this is a fact. He's a very good and caring professor. He does have an accent and doesn't usually reply to emails, but other than that, he's the best. TAKE HIM.
