Great Teacher! Keeps class entertaining. Study the study guides and you should get an A on all his tests.
this guys is very funny. u never feel like u are getting bored in math class. u just know the stuff by end of the course. and very fair with home work and tests. i recommand it to every one for all the math courses. i wish he thought more math classes
Hey guys, i had this instuctor last fall for math 100. This teacher is very and i mean very funny. You never feels the boredom in his class. All you need to do to get good grade on his tests is study the study guide.
I had to try both class for fear of failing but did excellent with other teachers. He jokes too much and when asked for help he laughed at me. I you do take him Good Luck
Excellant professor! I recommend him to everyone! Makes math easy to understand, even if you normally don't like it. He goes above and beyond what is expected of a professor, by holding study classes to anyone who wants to come!! Amazing asset to Montco!
I had him for 3 semesters. Mat100 is great, approach is unparalled. Higher level courses have increasingly high expectations, and I found that with Precalc I & II he rushed through material too quick, esp. at the end. After 100, he is just entertainment
He is an excellent professor! He makes math fun not boring, unlike average math professors.
he is the best teacher. His class is always fun. MATH MAJOR:)
very very talkative
If you have trouble learning on your own DO NOT TAKE this guy. one example and then it is up to you. study the sudy guides and you should be ok
He is horrible. I asked him for help and he laughed. He is more concerned with what he can get for free from where is students work than school. I had to drop him twice but got A's with other teachers.
Funniest professor this semester, and probably next also. If you ask for help, he will do his best. Great teacher, but his laugh gets old very quickly, its more like a tribal call.
He's a good teacher overall. Although he sometimes fails to explain things, he is very willing to help you in person. He also provides a lot of helpful methods that the book doesn't teach.
He's a great teacher..makes the class fun!
Made math easy amd fun for a phobic.

Best math teacher of all time. Must have teacher for college algebra,pre calc,and calc. <<MATH MAJOR>>
he is a good teacher, he makes class interesting but dont miss his class or your screwed and he'll make sure of it but he gives you a study guide for each test and always tells u what is going to be on it over all he is a really good teacher
Eminike is hands down the best math teacher I have ever had. I have always lacked interest and skill in math, but he really makes learning fun. He easily captures the interest of even the most disinterested student.
Mr. Ukazim, he's a unicorn thts the best word to describe him, he is the best teacher in the whole community. I dont think so ther's any other professor exist who makes u laugh and make ur hardest subject a fun, but remember never missed his class..... or he'll tell u on next day MATH MAJOR
Quite possibly the best Math professor I have ever had in my entire life. I regret not searching him out and waiting to take him again. Whether or not you pass the class is up to you (which is usually always the case). Regardless, he will make the class enjoyable and you'll look forward to his lecture.
he's a very interesting character. just do the homework and write down what he writes on board and you're good to go. i met a total hottie in this class ;]
Suppose~~~~~~~I have to rate this professor~ I want to give him 5 out of 5. This teacher is really nice and funny~ He knows his stuff~ If you have to take Math classes~ Take his course~ You will smile~
Eminike is definately the best professor that I ever had and that was 7 years ago. He made an ever lasting impression on me and the way i teach!
This was the best professor I have ever had! I took his class 6 years ago and I feel like it was yesturday. He is very engaging with the students. Those that aren't interested in math will not be bored. If you do not put forth effort then he will let you know it! Ask for help BEFORE you fall too far behind! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
i had him 4 years ago he is a best teacher you can have for math class. you will never get board in his class. " Math Majors". very good do the problems that he said and you good to go .
Emenike is an excellent professor. His lectures are entertaining, and he was able to teach me things that I could never figure out in prior math classes.
He's a very interesting, very funny professor indeed and he certainly knows his stuff. Even though he goes through the material pretty quickly, he does explain it thoroughly enough to understand. Also, he is very good at letting his students know what will be on his tests as well as giving out review sheets. "Math Majors". =D He has my respect.
Math Majors!!! He always screams, sings and makes students laugh, so students never bored in his class. He teaches as best as he could using a lot of affective methods. I took him in summer for MAT 100 and I exempted from that class! He is ausome! Take his class. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
He's entertaining and energetic but he's a terrible teacher. While some people might do well in his class just as a result of their own math proficiency, anyone who is relying on him to adequately teach them anything is SOL. He has noncredit homework assignments that don't match up with the notes, and he's very much unapproachable for extra help.
he is an awesome teacher....i love going to class....always keeps you entertained....if you come to class....you will do well on the tests....his practice tests are very similar to his tests.....great teacher overall....
I had him for MAT 011, 100 and precalc I. Dr. Ukazim gives you a great idea on what Emeril would be like if he were a math professor. Very entertaining and I HATED math out of HS. I definitely got a better appreciation for math because of him. Great all around guy and tries to help you the best he can but you have to do the work.
Very Funny. Noisy. Cares more about why calculus works then how thing were derived or working through problems you'll never use.
Sooo funny! An entertaining prof makes all the difference. Explains things very clearly. TESTS ARE SOOO EASY, especially the final. A little hard to get a hold of, but overall wants you to succeed in class. Moves quickly, but that seems to inevitably be the nature of the course.
ukazim is a very good professor... very very easy.. take him if u want A. i would highly recommend him for each math. his class are intresting and fun. very helpful for MATH MAJORS
I hate Math but he made it fun!!:) He is hilarious and an overall great teacher. If you struggle in MAth and want to do well he will make it happen. He wants everyone to succeed. He is the definition of a great teacher.
He is a great person and a very good teacher.
best teacher i ever had all the way from kindergarden to college. ive always hated math but he kept me interested, if not in the material then at least to see what he was gonna do/say next.
He taught more for the smart kids in the class than those who don't understand math. If you struggle like I do don't take him, he laughed at me when I didn't understand and when I asked for help.
A crazy, goofy French African who will keep you laughing. Always happy to see you and talk to you and do whatever you need to succeed.
ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS EVER AND HE IS HILARIOUS!
do not take if you want to really learn Math 100 and intend to go on to a higher level math. he is nice, but class was chaotic with students talking and interupting constantly. i feel i haven't learned a thing from him, but how to get frustrated with all the extra noise in class.
This man is as smart as a whip and if you don't understand that you deserve to be laughed at. If you don't understand math and you want to then take his course. If you love math then take his course. If you want to be spoonfed and have a limited sense of irony then maybe you should not.
very goog
He is the best teacher I have ever had. His crazy yet hilarious sence of humor and knowledge of what he is teaching makes me want to go to his class every week. If you are taking a math class, make sure he is your teacher. You will love it.
supppppose
im horrible at math and he actually made it easy somehow... best math teacher!
He is really really funy man.And is really helpful for math
Greatest math teacher I've ever had. Really funny and interactive with the students.
thats right.... everybody better give my boy a good recommendation. had him a couple years ago and that's that nukka. might be the smartest guy i ever met, knows his math and many other things very well. class is as easy as you make it. attend and participate, and you're sure to learn lots, especially if you already suck at math!
best math teacher
is the best teacher that I have ever had for math is amazing he keeps you entertained... get him early or you will not have him as a teacher his class fills up very quickly
This class is a waste of time and a waste of money. This guy is a total joke. He spends most of the class joking around and then before he lets us out early he puts up a few examples. But don't ask him any questions because he will just joke around with you, leaving you more confused. If you take him, be prepared to teach yourself
Where to start? Unapproachable, chronically late, can't be bothered to learn peoples' names, disrespectful to students; if you want a teacher who lets you out early all the time and doesn't teach, take him. If you want to learn, take Winterbottom.
I wasted a whole semester with him you ask a question and he makes you feel like you stupid. not a good grader if you strugle with this subject no help or ways to make you pass.
he is great
The most enthusiastic teacher I have ever had. Will start to step dance, make noises as thoughts process in his head while doing problems, and has an open class participation. Never can ask too many questions. He made me understand how to learn math through repition and deciphering problems.
Awesome! He likes to have fun while learning. Those who don't do well obviously forgot they're in college. COME TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES! He pretty tells you what's on the tests. Theres always a 3 points bonus ?'s on the tests that's soooo easy. Homework isn't mandatory. If I'm able to get over 100% on his tests and exempt the final .. YOU CAN TOO!!
Loved this teacher! Very funny and calls every1 his "sister, brother, cousin, ect." Always let you out early. Pay attention in class and take his Practice Test seriously because it's a cheat cheat to doing well on the actual Test. He'll change the numbers and signs but it's the same type of problem. Highly recommended and an easy A in my standards.
the coolest teacher ever, he actually gets u to understand the math, not just to do the math..but u gotta study cos thts all its abt.
This guy is my favorit teacher by far! His meathods of teaching make you understand the fundamentals and foundations of math instead of just memorizing them. I learned to look at math from a whole new perspective and now I actualy... ENJOY MY MATH!!!
It took me four years to pass algebra. Emenike finally showed me the way! He is hilarious and extremely knowledgeable, I actually looked forward to going to his class. Take him if you are able!
one of the best professors ive had here, highly reccomended.
He's ridiculous and awesome! He takes things step by step (so if you like bing bang boom he's not that kinda of teacher). He cares about his students for sure and believes in every one of them! If you don't wanna show up for class w/e, but don't be surprised if you fail! He tells u calculator step by step to solve problems!
Funny guy! Show up, do the work, you do well. Class is definately interesting!
The best
awesome,nice,easy going way...!!!!
He is a very good and fun teacher
Very nice and helpful teacher. He gives a practice test that is very similiar to the test.
Very good teacher
Dr. U definitely knows his stuff. He makes his class interesting but you need to be there. I would take him for any more math classes.
Very fun and loud in the classroom, good way to keep attention. Makes math easier and fun (almost). Explained each section in class. He didn't collect the homeworks.
good, helpful,and interesting teacher
Dr. Ukazim was an amazing professor who strives for his students to love math. He is not a hard teacher-if you get 3 95s on his tests and 1 80m or above he makes you exempt from the final. Easiest a ever, and I understood the material. He is the greatest math professor at Montco.
Great teacher. Took him for a repeat of a precalc class as I had been out of school for 4 years. His method of teaching somehow clicked with my brain and everything that I used to be shaky with in math was easy. I've since breezed through calc 1-3 thanks to this man.
I was warned about Math 100 as a hard class to take in a full 15 week semester, I did it in a 6 week summer semester. It was because of his GREAT teaching still that I passed with a B. Show up, do the work, he will take care of the rest. I will take no other math courses unless he is my professor.
Great teacher, i have had him twice. Knows what he's talking about and knows how to explain it so a 5 year old could understand it, you will learn what you are doing no matter how bad at math you are.
I have had him MAT 100 161 162 190 201 that's how good he is you will learn from Ukazim Math Majors!
As always, he is an exceptional instructor. He is extremely intelligent and he wants everyone to learn. This is my second time with Dr. Ukaim, in Math 100 and PreCalc 1 (#161). His PreCa;c 2 (#162) class was filled within a week, how good is he? I asked him to sign me into his already full class because he is that good. I will take him again!
He knows what he is doing. Goes out of his way to help students learn (practice test/emailing smart board examples from class). He joked around a bit too much for my liking at times but I would recommend him. As long as you study hard and follow along in class the test shouldn't be a problem. No Hw graded. If I was taking PreCalc 2 I would take him
My first review on this site but I couldn't resist. Previously had him for MAT 160 and have him currently for MAT 161. I might not get the opportunity to take him for Calc, but that is not by choice. He genuinely cares about students and his way of teaching could not be any better...for me at least!
Finally, a teacher that knows how to teach. I've dropped pre-calc twice (both with different teachers), and now i have an A- with Ukazim. I would highly recommend him.
I took this class summer '12. I've always struggled with math in the past but he really knows how to teach the subject. If you have to take a math course with him available as a professor definitely take advantage! He's very good with going over problems if he sees the class struggling. He makes the class entertaining with his sense of humor-he's hilarious! I'm not saying this is an easy class. I got a B. But you attend class/pay attention/do the homework you will succeed in this class
I am not a math lover, I did 100, 161 from him got an A, and wait to take 162 in fall, because he is not teaching it in summer, I am doing math in montco only and only because of ukazim, he is brilliantly crazy enough to make math intresting and joyful for any math haterslike me.get 95marks/above in three test and 80/above in one,exempt from final
Great guy, but sometimes too busy to actually teach. Students are left to figure things pout on their own at this level. I can't strongly recommend him for MAT 162.
I would not recommend prof. Ukazim for MAT 162. I rely heavily on the book to figure out the topics. It was extremely frustrating to see so many questions that were not covered in the book on the EXAMS!! I went into the exams feeling really prepared, but got C's bc I didn't reorganize some nuance he decided to fixate on. Lect were fun,not focused
MATH 100 Great Professor! Best Math professor at Montg.(Blue Bell)! If you need help getting to really understand Math select Ukazim. He is very fair, makes class fun and really instructs his students with going over the basics that helps students understand better. If you attend his class, do the homework and study for his tests you will do fine.
Awesome good professor. He doesn't go over all the problems. He goes over important topics since he gets two class days in a week, so responsibility is yours to be prepared for the tests. Easy grader. Gives extra credit, partial credit. It is shame if you fail his course.
Awesome
He is Awesome!
I had him for 161 and I thought he was amazing, which is why I was so excited for 162. Turns out I actually dislike his class now.. Makes things extremely complicated and the things he teaches are not found in the textbook. Just a frustrating class for me now. Can't say I recommend him for 162.
Would not recommend for MAT 162. I learned more about trig in 20 minutes of Gery Winchesters calc 1 course than the entire semester with dr. Ukazim
I thought he was a great teacher. He clarified a lot of things that other teachers could not. I really liked his teaching style. I recommend him for MAT100 but he isn't an easy A. You have to put some effort in to it.
Great . Awesome.
The best teacher ever. You cannot find a better math teacher than him in my opinion.
Emenike's shtick can be aggravating at first, but he's an amazing prof for MAT 100. It's a perfect starting point; he's easy but you must earn your grades; he can be distracting but is funny and he'll keep you interested; and, most of all, he cares about his students and is legit happy to be there. Great man, great teacher.
he is wonderfull teacher, and does care for his students really to get succeed, but u need to do ur part of study, students really need prof. ukasim for math 190 plz, he is awesome prof for math 100, 161 and 162, but he is not teaching math 190, i hope someday he will teach math 190, so students can get good teacher for math 190, too in montco.
He is the most annoying teacher ever! He usually makes no sense and he tries too hard to be funny. He makes really loud noises for no reason and I have him at 9am..a majority of the time he makes simple math way more complicated then it needs to be.
Professor is extremely passionate about math and the students understanding the math, not just passing the test. He is quirky, but genuinely caring. Biggest draw back is not very responsive to email questions, but very helpful in person. One or our tests was take home, and I was exempted from the final because of performance. It can be done!
The Best EVER! Take him. I am a no longer afraid of math. He made me understand it for the first time.
This is the best professor iv ever had Before him i was terrible at math, I couldnt stand it at all. But his teaching put a practical spin on it, and he made sure we understood the material. He even would come in on saturdays to cover any material students had trouble with also brought donuts and coffee. Take his class
Emenike was a good professor. I took his summer session math 100 and although it moved fast I did well. You have to study for this class. He recorded every lecture and posted them on blackboard for us to listen to again which was very helpful. Average a 95 or higher you are exempt from the final, drops the lowest test score. Highly Recommended.
great teacher
Take him you won't regret it.
he is a very helpful teacher. if you can do the homework well by yourself , you can easy to get an A ! he also give students some extra credit ! just take his class!
Never really understanded why everyone was so found of him. Ukazims lectures are really useless, felt like he just laughed like an idiot all the time and never explain anything or went over any useful stuff. His test are hard, but he only gives the tests and DAH's, which are eassy If you put time into them. Does not alweys answer question or help!
Very Unique teacher. Teaching style a bit different but good. Don't miss class. If you show up, do the work and pay attention you should get at least a B. Do the homework in his class, very helpful.
He is very clear with what he expects from you. We had 4 tests and a final. He would occasionally give part of the test to do at home. Very easy class, I never went and I got over 100%. Do your part in learning the material and you should get an A. I personally loved him, very quirky and funny.
He is awsome. he is a really easy grader on test. His test are pretty much like the homework he assigns (which isn't very often). He doesn't care if you show up to class or not, as long as you show up for the test and the final and pass.
BEST,can't say anything more than that
He is literally the best math teacher, i wish i could take him for all my math courses. I wasn't good at a math, he helped me understand concepts, and i got an easy A
Hilarious BUT has rules about note taking (a lot of the time taking notes wasn't allowed), moves fast, unclear, you will need a lot of free time in order to get through all of the assigned problems, he puts a lot of incorrect problems on the board, and be prepared to be called on and questioned at random every single class
I love his teaching style. He makes the class entertaining, however it can be fast paced. I have had him twice so far. Once for a college algebra class, and most recently for pre calculus (161 & 162). The only grades in the class are tests and homework for each section. The homework grade is added to the test as extra credit.
This guy made math more like a secondary of math 011 but in a advanced level and same kind of problems. He made this class interesting as ever. Go study and practice every prob. he taught each day a little bit and you'll know better. He can be off topic sometimes. If you get all higher than 95% on test you'll exempt the final. Best feeling ever!
Dr Ukazim is an incredible mathematician and always keeps the lectures interesting and funny. He is from Nigeria and has a strong accent, but if you pay attention, he gets easier to follow as the semester goes on.
If I had a choice again i would choose or even hired him Ukazim as my personal instructor. he challenged me to kill the math and I did.I god an A at the End. . I am so thankful to have a privilege of being is student. I thought math 100 was difficult but with him it is not please take take him you won't be disappointed.
Honestly a good guy but I really had a hard time understanding him. I had him for math 100 which is easy but I really couldn't learn from him. I seriously don't understand why everyone likes him so much as a teacher. He is an honest person but just not a good teacher.
People don't talk about how hard this proff is, you can just pass but he wants us to "kill math". HW has no deadlines and he will ask for it whenever, so just do it right away. If something was on a DAH or Practice test it will be in some form on the test. Personally, I found the lectures hard to follow sometimes because he doesnt write enough.
He is an absolute gem ! He seriously cares a lot about his students! Best part about this class is that once you get good grade for the 4 test , you can skip the FINAL !!! How great is that . Plus if you get 100% on the final , you get A for the course.
Incredible teacher. Teaches in a way that get you to learn and think, not just memorize facts and formulas. Genuinely cares about his students. Also, he is funny and entertaining.
Professor Ukazim is by far the best teacher I have ever had. He makes the class interesting, includes everyone in the class so you will only be more noticed if you're quiet. He is also one of the most caring professors I've met. If you are going through a rough time in your life he will help you in any way shape or form. Professor Ukazim is unique.
Math does not come easy for me. I've never had a Professor who cares so much for his students and at the same time understands the importance of humor. As we all know, math can be intimidating but this Professor takes away some of the stress and will do what he can to help you out. Do your work and show that you are trying.
Ukazim is easily the best professor I've ever taken, and most certainly the best Math professor. He guides his class very carefully through material, while not following the book. He makes sense of math extremely well, and participation over memorization is his main moto. Be prepared for "bathroom" questions.
Professor Ukazim gives you every chance to pass his class. His approach may seem unorthodox, but if you practice your math, you will succeed. Expect no surprises; he repeatedly covers anything that will be on the test. He also gives you a pre-test "do at home" which is worth 10 points. He strongly encourages classroom participation!
This Professor is a TRUE inspiration! He shows in numerous ways how much he cares for his students! This class can be tricky but he will work with you and help as much as possible. He has a wonderful sense of humor and that helps lessen the stress of math. I will really miss this Professor!!!
I had him for two or three different math courses. One of my all-time favorite teachers. Entertaining and you will learn.
I liked him so much I took him 2 years in a row. He is wild but really makes sure the students know what they are doing instead of just continuing onto the next lesson. He can sometimes be rude to those who are slow or make a stupid mistake. But he likes to end class early.
one of the most amazing professors ive had
he is the good one for every one who is looking for a good teacher. he explains everithing and slovely. he is just more then amazing.
Professor Ukazim is the best teacher I've had in my life. He cares about the future of his students and has an ingenious method of teaching. Pay attention and you'll get more than an understanding of math out of the class. You're guaranteed tons of belly laughs every class. He knows math inside and out!
Went to him multiple times throughout the semester and was given no help. Only told to go get a tutor, which costs money. Tests are difficult being a few questions which are worth all or nothing. Goes over things once and says I showed you so now you know it.
Loved him
Ukazim was the best professors i have ever had. He respects each of his students and expects the same back. He is very helpful and clear. His accent takes a hot sec to get used to but your good in a few days. I took him for two math courses and was excited he was teaching the next! Definitely recommend.
He brought his vast industrial and military experience to bear in a way that made algebra seem practical.
