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 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
