Best Math teacher I've ever had. Flunked it all in high school and learned it all in one semester with him. Come to class willing to learn and practice at home and you'll get by just fine. GREAT TEACHER!!

Alfar is a wonderful teacher. He's very helpful and also introduces new topics with precision and clarity. If you review your notes and practice the problems shown in class, you should be able to score high on his tests. He designs the tests for people to pass.

He is really very nice professor. He clears everything. He is really helpful. Just concentrate in the class, and read your notes at home. You will get highest score in test. If you don't understand, please ask him. He is happy if you ask him questions. He is always smily. That's my garantee, you'll

Great teacher if you really pay attention and do your work.

Prof Alfar is phenomenally efficient. Each statement he makes seems to come from a deep understanding and he seems to really care if students understand. He does move fairly quickly but is always asking if students have questions. Contrary to previous reviews, his voice is very clear and comprehensible. How some cannot understand him is beyond me.

HE A THE BEST

First off, he speaks english perfectly fine, with barely any accent. He's more clear, precise and straight to the point than most other professors (providing you pay attention and do the homework). He is a very organized and keeps track of everything without problems. Overall, I'm happy to have had him as a professor, and I recommend him to anyone!

He's a great professor! There's no required homework, 4 tests, and hes extremely nice & very helpful. And you can understand him perfectly fine! Just show up & pay attention. Easy A!

he is a good prof. his test are not so bad, if you study hard. he gives partial credit.

He's a good teacher. But he does not give quizzes or extra credits. What you got on your tests, that's what u gonna get. So he won't have no problem to fail you.

Go to class, listen to him, study well for tests [which are a bit challenging] and you can do great. H.W is optional, but trust me, you will not do good if you miss the H.W. I slacked off at the beginning and so I got only a B+... so if you are going for the A, work hard from the beginning! And, he also drops the lowest grade too :)

Excellent instructor, breaks problems down with precision and expertise. I have no problem with this. What I do have a problem with, however, is A. His "no bathroom use" policy, and furthermore, his citing that this policy is actually in the student manual.(which it's not) Treats his students like prisoners/babies.

Like many, I work full time. Had to leave early for a mandatory work conflict, respectfully told Prof. Alfar ahead of time. Told me to "stay home' as opposed to leaving the class 15 minutes early, as this would "cause a disruption". Give me a break. His "no leaving the classroom" is Nazi-Germany like, and quite unecessary, as this promotes ill will

If you go to class, pay attention, and ask questions when you're confused he's a great professor! Don't expect to slack off - you have to work hard to do well in his class but you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of math. He truly cares whether students understand him. He moves quickly but the course has a lot of material! Study & do hw.

Great professor, you have to work hard for an A but it is definitely doable. He really does care whether you understand what he is saying. I would recommend him but like I said you have to do your work and study!

Amazing professor, the class goes at a pretty quick pace but if you keep up and pay attention you'll do fine. He really makes sure that you understand the material and if you're stuck or get lost ask questions. He will go back and give you a step by step on how he got the answer. I've always been terrible at math but this class I got an A.

GOOD PROFESSOR. WILL ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. HE WILL NOT MOVE ON UNTIL EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE. SO PAY ATTENTION AND ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU NEED. HE IS VERY HELPFUL.

The last time I took this class, I failed. My first and only F of my ENTIRE education. Though his cell hone policy is extremely rigid (twice caught and you're dropped) it helps you focus on the material. I recieved high 90's all semester. No surprises. All the explaination you could ask for. Very nice man who wants you to succeed.

He is a good teacher. Tests are tough and he grades them harshly.

One of my favorite professor at ncc. I took MAT 111 during the summer and honestly I didn't attend some classes well b/c I over slept but as long as you write down EVERYTHING he writes and take just a day or two to do all the problems he went over and the homework you will most likely get an A. Highly recommend!I also took Alfar for MAT122(honors).

Professor Emad, is very nice and always answers your question. A very polite professor who cares for his student. If your not good at math he will definetly make you understand by the end of each class . Recommend him to everyone and I didn't spend a dime on txtbook . It's at the library where I just took pictures of the hw prob/answers to study.

Prof Alfar is genuine and cares about his students. I am not strong in math but he did a great job with answering all my questions and helping me understand and I understood his lectures very well. He is not someone I would consider easy, but definitely a great teacher. His tests very similar to example questions in lectures

Very patient professor. Extremely kind. Attendance is not mandatory, but be aware that you have to come to class to pass. Does not grade hw, but goes over it if anyone has questions. He also reviews for the final.

Good teacher, hard material and lessons will go quick. Very strict cell phone policy, he did drop one person in my class because his phone was out over two times. Tests are tough and sometimes even studying the homework aren't enough to get by, you must go the extra mile in this class, if you are ready to take the course don't take it lightly

3 tests (drops lowest grade) and 1 final. If anyone was unsure about something he would always go back to explain further which was helpful. Reviewed for the final for a week so everyone was prepared. Doesn't care if you skip class, thats on you. The only downside is hes VERY strict w cell phones so don't take them out!!

He is the best math teacher i have had in awhile. Everything he teaches is so clear. If you have a question he will definitely explain until you feel comfortable with the material. Do the Homework because they are a great review. If you study for the test you will d well- it is easy. You should definitely take him- math teachers don't get better!

Great guy, great Professor. Even though i took him over the summer and only had him for a month, he will remain has one of my favorite Proffesors from ncc. He gave me a strong foundation for calc in his interactive discussion-style lectures. His tests can be challenging but if you need to go further in math, you better get used to a challenge.

good professor but he is a tough grader. He likes to put those hard questions on the test that you don't think will be on there. participation not required. He is always willing to help you answer every question you have! He gives you every opportunity to do well as he does care for his students.

One of the best math professors I've had in a long time. Love math? This class is for you. Hate math? This class is also for you - he teaches things in ways that everybody can understand. Just make sure you do your homework and study before exams, and you should be fine.

He goes over topics very fast but makes sure nothing is left unexplained: he repeats many of the previous topics while teaching the newer ones. Assignments are NOT mandatory. Only five exams. Exams are easy if you practice a little. Do the homework and redo the math done in class to get an A. Grades critically, no extra credit.

Very good professor, goes over all of the work thoroughly and will even stop progress if only one student doesn't understand the material. Graded purely on tests but the tests are similar questions to your homework, and he will give you extra credit for attempting a problem regardless if its correct. Very nice man and well respected, 10/10 take him

He gives 3 exams and drops the lowest grade, and a final exam. He grades you based on the exams ONLY!!!! He gives homework but does not grade it or participation. Do and review the homework he gives and trust me you will do amazing! He explains everything in full depth and you can tell he really cares about helping students. Amazing teacher!

Great Professor!! If you put in the time and effort to study everything he teaches ( Classwork/homework) you should get an A!!! He was very dedicated and never moved on unless everyone understood the topic!!! Would definitely recommend!!!

Professor Alfar does not play. At all. But you will be completely better off for it. If you can step up the plate and really push yourself, he will help you bring out your best. In all honesty, I really can't thank him enough. If you're serious about learning, Professor Alfar is the guy you want to be taught by.

Professor Alfar is one of the best Math professor at Nassau. He ensure that you understand the material and he walk you through the procedures. I give this man a 100% all the way.

Professor Alfar is a great math teacher. I took his pre-calc class for the summer and he is highly organized and has a way of teaching that makes it very easy to understand the material. This is because he really makes sure you understand the fundamentals. I will be taking one of his classes again and recommend you to do the same.

Prof Alfar is very clear and organized. From day one he says that he grades solely on exams! He isn't for everyone but I personally LOVED his class, the hw is just like the tests. He is an excellent teacher and genuinely cares about students actually learning. I go to a diff college now and I STILL miss his class a lot! Be vocal and ask questions!

Prof Alfar was an excellent calculus professor.He gives really helpful refreshers for algebraic skills that can be easily forgotten if you haven't needed to use them in a while.Just speak up if you don't get something and he'll walk you through it.There are only 4 tests and those are the only grades but he gives you everything you need to pass them

Emad instructed my summer pre-calc class. In general, the class is dense for the semester being four weeks. Emad is intuitive and doesn't rush anyone's lack of understanding. The class is comprised of tests, but he takes the pressure off as he informs you on what will be on the test (No Surprises)

he made it very clear that theres only 4 exam grades. homework isnt graded but it's very important you do it and ask questions, exams are very similar to hw questions. overall, he is very nice and gave refreshers to class when needed & answered any questions!

This professor runs things differently. I personally didn't mind it, but some students may not like his methods. As a professor, this guy is patient, allows lateness, works with you and keeps it a buck. His grading is indeed based off exams only, but if you pay attention and have some discipline to study, you should be good. I have no complaints.

I have no bad comment, he was a great teacher and made sure you understood the material he would pause to make sure you were on board right then in there while he was giving out the lecture and I really appreciated that since I always have tons of questions. Make sure you don't skip a day because you will be lost otherwise.Thank you Professor Emad.

Professor Alfar takes the time to answer all questions and make sure students understand the material. He is patient and kind!

Professor Alfar was by far one of the BEST professors I've had. You can tell he loves what he does. He's organized and if you're lost.. he will find a way to teach to you specifically. Homework is not mandatory, however, I HIGHLY recommend doing it. it makes the difference between a pass and a fail. PARTICIPATE IN CLASS!

Very good professor. He just grades exams but they are not too hard. Also, you are allowed to use a paper sheet with any information for the exams. He doesn't rush with the topics and he will answer all your questions.

Very kind and understanding man Tests were very very very difficult

Teaches the material to you in lecture; you wont have to teach it to yourself at home. "Discussion" type classroom. High attention to detail, has respect for using and teaching proper math language. Treats it as if its your first time seeing the material. Happy to give refreshers of prereq material. A real educator, this guy knows how to teach.

In my opinion it's extremely up to the student whether they pass or not when it comes to this professor! He will constantly reteach and re- explain if you ask him to! Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Great professor!!! He really loves to teach and cares about his students!!! He prepares you to be successful in his class!

Amazing professor! Everything that is on the test was discussed in class. He reviews the exercises before the test day to clear up any doubts. He also explains what will be covered in each question on the test and does similar exercises for each question. All the questions are short answers and you need to show the work.

Genuinely the best math professor I have ever had. I took pre calc in high school and got a C-, But he made calc so understandable I got a B+. He makes complex material so simple. Do the homework, and be present in class.

He is amazing, makes sure that his students understand before he continues. Very patient and sooooo nice. If you dont understand something he will explain it to you until you do. Practices problems and goes over hw in class if you have difficulties, waits to make sure everyone is done taking notes then erases the board. Such a wonderful professor!

This professor was great i honestly rate him an 8. He takes his time with the lectures, and makes sure you understand it before moving on. He's funny and cool. At first, I didn't like how it was mandatory that he made us put our phones away for every class however, i understand it now because it helps focus and forces you to understand the work.

Great Prof, very nice and helpful. Really won't move on until everyone understands the material. Thank God he makes us put phones away otherwise I'd be more lost. Class goes very fast with him. Your 3 test grades make up your final grade and you're allowed to have a Ref. sheet for exams what's better than that? Take him if you can.

Alfar is an amazing professor. Your grade is based on four exams, which seems scary at first, but he tells you the format of the questions before the exam, so it's really not that bad. The questions on the exams are similar to the ones done in class and homework (which is optional), so overall, as long as you do practice questions, you'll be fine.
