HE is very and one of the best and greatest math teachers,he has etra credit and very clear in his explanations and he is very motivated and fun.
Mr.Sayi is very cool!I took him for Math0306 and math0308 if it wasn't for him i would not have passed.Many students though he was hard but when i put effort into my work and showed up for after class tutoring he passed me and my group.And he tutored me for math 0312 which i passed also.His classes gave me the foundation to pass college algebra :-)
MR. SAYI HAVE ASSCENT WHEN HE TALK ABOUT HE IS A VERY COOL AND UNDERSTANDING PROFESSOR. HE WANT YOU TO PASS AND HE DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU PASS. YOU REALLY DONT NEED TO BUT A BOOK IN HIS CLASS BECAUSE HE WRITES THE PROBLEM AND GO THREW EVERYTHING THATS IN THE BOOK ON THE BOARD. JUST DO THE ONLINE HOMEWORK AND THE EXTRA CREDIT AND YOU PASS HIS CLASS
HE'S COOOOOLLL...!!!
Mr. Sayi is a fantastic math teacher-he is the best math teacher I've ever had! I just wish he was teaching College Algebra! He helps each and every student and genuinely cares about every student's success. You will LEARN from his class. He is a great teacher!
Mr. Sayi is a very easy teacher that actually cares about his student. He will also stress to you that he wants everyone to pass and will do anything to help you out. He is an EXCELLENT TEACHER and I wish that he was teaching college algebra.
THIS WAS THE COOLEST MOST HELPFUL PROF. HE WROTE EVERY THING ON THE BOARD SO YOU REALLY DON'T NEED TO BY A BOOK. HE WORKS REALLY WELL WITH HIS STUDENTS AS LONG AS YOU DO YOUR PART
Other than the fact that he looks like a gorrilla. he is a very good math teacher. and you dont need to buy the 200 dollar book
he does not fail people....but he does have his mood swings...hes nice and easy to understand as long as you do your work he'll like you, no matter what he wont fail you unless you are a real bum, you will most likely end up with a C if you dont do your work, but if you try its an easy A.
MR. SAYI IS A VERY NICE INDIVIDUAL. I RECENTLY TOOK HIM IN A MINI-TERM FOR MATH 0312. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL & ORGANIZED IN HIS TEACHINGS. YOU DO NOT NEED THE BOOK, HE PROVIDES ALL THE NOTES THAT YOU NEED. YOU DO NEED TO SHOW EFFORT IN SHOWING UP & EVERYTHING THAT HE ASKS OF YOU. IF YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL EASILY GET AN EASY A. KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING.
He is a nice and very helpful teacher. Easy "A", he really cares about his students. But you have to do your work if not he is going to be on your ass. You don't need the book so don't bother to buy it. YOu do need the COURSE COMPASS.
JUST IN CASE YOU DONT KNOW, HE ROCKS MY WORLD!! BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO A MATHS DEPT.
Please! Take this man's course, but be prepared to do your work...but if you do your work, you will get the results you want. I've struggled with Math in college for the past four years, I should have my degree by now, but math is vital...and as of today, thanks to his coaching...I finally understand Math. YOU GOTTA DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
When Mr. Sayi is teaching, it's so easy a cave man could do it. He gives away extra points like crazy to where you cant keep up. Take him pls. He is Great!
Best math teacher I'v taken so far at Houston Community College,Thanks to him,I understand math a lot better.
The best out there, very helpful and i mean that because he answers ur email almost immediately!!Easy class and gives extra points a lot, an EASY A+. Very recommended
MAN THIS IS A COOL TEACHER. HE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND CARES THAT HIS STUDENTS UNDERSTAND. HER WORKS OUT EVERYTHING ON THE BOARD, SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE BOOK. HE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. EASY A. HE GIVE A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT .
Very good teacher, highly recommend. Kept it interesting and fun. You have to take this class, look him up. You won't be disappointed.
Mr. Sayi is VERY helpful! Attendance is mandatory if you want to understand and pass his class. Anwers emails! Organized. Dont need book. Gives a lot of detailed notes. Doesn't like cell phones in class. Ask questions n participate! Take him if you really want to learn!
This teacher is awesome I rarely went to class and pass with a C which is all I needed to transfer. You dont need textbook so save your money, just be perpared to take alot of notes. So take him please
I just took him in the mini term and it was fantasticO!!! HE is sssooooo helpfulll, and he explains everything soo TAKE HIM! BEST PROF. IN HCC!!!
man this is a cool teacher he explains real good and does all he can so u will pass
WOW!!! I like his teaching style, very informative. He is reasonable, very helpful and cares about his students. I THINK EVERYONE WHO NEEDS MATH 0312 NEEDS TO TAKE HIS CLASS. Even things you should know, he has no problem going back over them as if it's your first time learning. TEXTBOOK? PFFT, don't bother. Just make sure you do your assignments.
Mr. Sayi is the best math teacher I have ever had. He doesn't make anyone feel stupid and he's always in a good mood. He is extremely helpful and responds to emails fast.
mr. Sayi so amazing. All the years I spent in math, and he class is the only math class I ever I got ab 'A' in. He so understanding and so eager to teach. Every one should take his class!
BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!!! He is so helpful and wants all his students to pass. He is one of the few teachers that goes above and beyond to help. Totally recommend him!!
The professor was great! No textbook needed. Print it out of MyMath Lab. Sit in front of the class if you have a hard time with accents. Professor will explain problems if you are having a hard time.
He is a wonderful teacher, if you go to class and actually pay attention there should be no reason to get any lower than a "B". To bad he doesnt teach college algebra.
Great professor!!! i took him for 0312 and wish i had taken him fr/ the beginning! he will help you outside of class and really cares about the students. He let me make up a test on a Sunday before spring break !!!
HE is so awsome, i hate math and he actually made me try to learn it. u have to show up everyday to get his notes but his notes really help u understand. He breaks the equations and problems down for u. He's sweet and a really good guy. Take him for Math!!! He is very helpful and really cares about u and u passing!!
Best math teacher!
"BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND". Mr.Sayi is one of those chosen special people. Who LOVES teaching, i mean LOVEEEEEEE..not job but previlege as he speaks...I REALLY ADMIRE HIM..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!HIGHLY
BEST MATH professor I've had so far. He will help you in everyway possible. Will drop two test grades and if you do your homework online and have an A average you will receive 15 points extra. Too bad he doesn't teach college algebra.
He is one of the very best instructors i have seen in any of the colleges i have attended whether local or international. Take him for math and you would be happy you did.
the best teacher ever!!!!!!!!
he is the best teacher u can ever think of...he dosnt hv a problem.he helps u understand the class and he send email regularly to his student reminding them of their assignment.i recommend everybody to go 4 his class...his the best.
I am very horrible in math. Never liked it. He kinda of has an accent which makes it a little hard to understand but is not that bad. i took him for a minimester summer. and i made a B. He gives extra credit always for the amount of h/w you do. and test reviews w/ answers covers exactly what is on the test. AWESOME TEACHER. easy and upfront.
Very good instructor!! I passed with an A. After two attempts with those other professors! He was very clear to me and the day was always a happy smiley day. Aways begin with the end in mind! He is awesome.
I love this guy, he cares and this is the first math teacher that was supportive and gave us pep talks and showed us motivational power points.
Awesome teacher. Teaches in the way you will understand. He drops low test grade. At the end of the semester he ordered pizza for the class even. Highly recommended.
He is Awesome! I really recommend him! I pass with an A the class. I will take the next section of math this semester again!
I have not taken any of his classes, but I do work for him and I will tell you that he is one of the best employers I have ever had. Real Cool to work with doesnt get mad easily and even though i havent taken any of his classes he has helped me and some of my math questions.. DUMIIIIIII
Mr. Sayi is an awesome teacher and Boss! His lectures are straight forward, he does not teach anything that want be on the test. He gives many examples which are very helpful and gives extra credit for everything. He's the best math teacher ever, i will miss his class and jokes. I highly recommend him if you really want to learn and have fun.
happy day smiley day. wonderful teacher makes math very easy if u do the work and listen you will pass.. lots of homewrk but gives you more than enough time to do it as long as i have to take math i will continue to take mr sayi
Mr. Sayi is a very positive teacher and is very willing to help students! I was terrible at algebra, but after taking his introductory classes I feel ready for anything that is thrown at me thanks to him. I highly recommend him, but this is no easy A. You will have to work for your grade but he will give you many opportunities. :)
This Man is on fire. I took him for an 8 week class 0312 and i hated math but been i got in his class he made me feel really confident. All you have to do is work hard and trust me you will pass. He prepared me for College Algebra and i took that in 5 weeks without a problem. I love this man, hes so passionate and cares about his students and will
Mr Sayi is a great teacher i have been out of school for a long time and he made sure that i understood what was going on i wish i was able to take his class the next semester. Thank u so much for caring
Mr. Sayi is beyond awesome. I took his classes (0306 & 0308) during Fall 2011 semester. I wasn't very confident with my math abilities before I took the classes but, that was because of the Compass test (I bombed it). After the classes, I took the ACT and I passed test (awesome). Now, I'm off to MATH1314 with much confidence.
happy day smily day. he is really good in what he is teaching. if you are willing to work, do your assignment, you will definitly pass with good grade. He is so good and am taking him for my next math class.
Mr.Sayi is a great professor. He explained everything very well.He gave us to opportunity to gain extra credit which was very helpful to me.
He is a very good math teacher but the only thing i dont like when i took his class is open respond questions i do better with multiple choice.
Great instructor. Do your homework, take advantage of the extra credit he gives and you will pass this class. I recommend Mr Sayi 100%
Professor Sayi Is a good Instructor, Math has always been difficult for me, and I passed 0312 with him. Yes test are hard but, he wants you to learn and he's just asking you to do your best. Do your homework and take advantage of the xtra credit and he will help you, he hates cheating and laziness..
Professor Dumisani Sayi is a great instructor. He treats every student equally and fairly. He is conscientious instructor. No matter who you are, as long as you try to finish your assignment,you will be fine. I wish he could be my instructor for next math 1314, but unfortunately!
He's the best math teacher you will ever take, literlly. He cares so much about his students and you can tell he's happy teaching. He gives so many extra credit points and some of the tests are online. YOU WILL BE STUPID IF YOU DONT TAKE HIM
He is so helpful! Everyday Smiley Face:) I honestly hate math but when I took his class he was able to explain everything I did not understand.He does give you homework but on mymathlab and its due until the end of the course. Be smart and do all extra credit! It will pay off in the end. He is such a good teacher I took him at LONESTAR FAIRBANKS.
Great Professor! Mr Sayi wants his students to succeed and gives numerous extra credit opportunities. Take advantage of the extra credit. Attend class, do homework and ask questions.
awesome teacher...... just pay attention and come to class. clear instructions respond to emails easy to deal with.....
Best Math Teacher ever. If you are reading this be sure to take this teacher HE'S THE BOMB. TAKE HIM. He explains everything from scratch. To tell you He knows what he's doing I'm taking his class next semester.
Best maths teacher i have ever met since my coming to the United States
I took this class as a fast track and I got to say his awesome!! I learned a lot in his class! I wish he would teach 0310-1314 .I passed with an A.
extremely helpful teacher. very very easy approach. always there to help, answer questions, and reply to emails very quickly! no text book needed, only coursecompass access key to do homework. if you got low grades or failed, you must be special.
Wonderful prefessor! He was always willing to help and he's never rude and if you ask him to slow down, he does it! Patience of a saint. I was as DUMB AS A ROCK when i came to his class but he helped me so much. thank you so much for your help, professor sayi!
He is a Great teacher! His tests are from what he teaches in class. Yes, they are open ended questions but he gives you excellent review sheets for the tests. Gives extra credit.explains properly. great personality, makes learning math fun. I highly recommend him.
Great instructor,he made me love math. Very helpful.
I struggled with math until I took his class. Wonderful teacher with amazing teaching skills. If you struggle with math I suggest you take him. Thanks to him I graduated with my degree, Thanks for being an awesome teacher!!
Professor Sayi is such an amazing teacher! He may have an accent but you can clearly understand what he means. He can sometimes crack some jokes to make you remember the steps to solving a problem. Without a doubt, you WILL pass his class.
Literally the best math instructor at HCC. Take him. You wont regret it
Mr Sayi, is the best math teacher ever, he makes you love mathematics with his teaching skills,i was very afraid of math until i found him,now math is one of my favorite class.
i had a hard time with him because of his fast paste. i don't think he was a bad teacher he was just a fast one and he gave a lot of test which were super difficult.
He was a very nice professor, he loves teaching , and he cares for you to pass. easy going, if you miss class he wont drop you. gives you opportunity to take test if you were absent on the test day.
Good professor
Professor sayi, is so clear, helpful and easy! You will pass forsure if you do what he tells you! So many extra credit. You drop two tests and just need 3 tests scores. Final review 1 and 2 tests. The extra points add to your tests scores! You will pass easily! Do homework though! He's chill and not overwhelming.
I used to be very bad in math but I got a good grade in his class, he is the best professor I have ever met. You would not regret ever taking his class.
very hard class i wouldnt recommend him to anyone, especially in the summer
He is a very good professor, he is very clear in what he says and very helpful in explaining things. You don't need a textbook but it is useful. Homework is usually all due at the end of the semester which is very helpful for students. Above all he is a great teacher. TAKE HIM!!!
Awesome teacher would take him again!
Professor Sayi moves too fast when teaching and his thick accent makes it difficult to understand him sometimes. The exams aren't multiple choice and even if you make a slight mistake, he will count it completely wrong with no partial credit. When pressed for time, he will skip a section and tell the students to study it on their own time.
The BEST! if you shy like I was , he doesn't pick on you. he is very funny math easy and fun
Math is my worst subject but professor sayi makes efforts to get you to understand everything and feel comfortable. Reviews for every test, do them and you got it!!! Nothing from tests is unexpected. HW due at the end of class.
THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS LISTEN TO HIM AND FOLLOW EVERY INSTRUCTION HE GIVES.
Love this exceptional Math teacher. Mr Sayi, many thanks and blessings.
Prof, Suyi is the best teacher ever. He give lot of extra-credit , take him and thank me later.
excellent professor, he care about his students ,take him he is one of the best .many blessings for him and his family.
He is a good and clever teacher. He is one of the best math teacher.
best maths teacher took him from the first level of math. I wish he was taking college algebra for those taking the low level of Math, please take Dr. Sayi and you will never regret..I got As in all the maths class I took with him.
Great Teacher ,and all but he careless about what your going through come to class learn and leave
He is by far the best teacher for Mathematics. I was afraid of Mathematics till I took him. He really knows his stuff. I bought the textbook and worked on the questions myself at home and needless to say, I got my A. Take him, you will not regret it. Wish I had a teacher like him when I was in high school... Maths would have been a breeze.
The best math professor ever! No matter how many questions you have, he will answer every one of them until you fully understand the criteria. Cares a lot about students who miss class due to a disability or illness. Lectures are really helpful as long as you take note of the majority of the things he writes on the board.
He is a great professor.
This professor is the BEST.
I really liked this professor, his notes are very good and he really cares for his students.
Best math teacher I've had, gives opportunities for extra credit points, excellent communication and feedback, cares about his students and their grade, makes class fun and engaging, funny, understanding, explains math problems in multiple forms, and goes back over any material you don't understand.
Dr. Sayi is a great professor, he wants the best for his students. His teaching methods are easy and understandable. Honestly the best math teacher I've ever had!
