The best I ever have

Posts lectures online and sends emails to keep students informed. If you follow instructions and use tools he gives (exercises for practice, office hours, lab help from TAs), you should do really well. He expects class participation and will repeat important things loudly to make sure that anyone who is not paying attention hears it/understands.

Fares is one of the best profs I've ever had at Carleton. He teaches the material effectively. You will ace this course with him if you attend the lectures. He will stay late to help us. I highly recommend him to anyone taking stats.

Such a great professor. Actually cares about his students. One of my favorites at Carleton! He makes stat fun and encourages you to aim for A+ and is funny when hes off-topic. He knows the materials very well. You will get A+ if you attend the lectures.

Fares is an amazing professor! he cares about his students. His lectures are fantastic and definitely worth going to - both from an academic and entertainment perspective. He repeats the materials so many times in different and same way so students can understand it. I recommend his class

he is the best

recommend him he is awesome and lectures are important.

Such a great prof! He really does his best to make sure everyone understands. Post all nice details lectures. Gives lots example, All his example is from real life problem. Explain all details. Help you in the tests. Cares how students perform. Take any class with him! I totally disagree with the previous comment, he loves teaching

He's a great teacher. I did not have him but O came to his class because he could teach so well. Honestly need to go to lectures or you wont pass . The course is so hard because of probability. Just grind it out and your good

He is the best, I totally recommend him.

He's a great teacher. Game to his class because he could teach so well. Honestly need to go to lectures or you wont pass . Just grind it out and your good

The best professor I have ever had in my life, he is very amazing, I love him so much, I highly recommend him for all stat courses

Hands down, the best stats professor!

Took STAT2507 with him. This was not an easy course for me, but if you grind through the textbook problems you will be fine. It is important that you attend all lectures, since he gives tips on the assignments and even the midterm/final. It helped me to talk with the TA and the prof to help with understanding the material and with assignments too.

I am not good at math but prof Said was very kind and helpful. lectures were posted on the website ahead of time, clear and easy to follow. I noticed some negative comments here; I don't understand why. He provided many resources and opportunities to learn, ask and get help in and out of class. Attend the lecture, prepare ahead of class & study

I have taken two courses with him so far and both were good. I'd take his classes again given the chance. He gives lots of ways to learn (practice problems, homework, resources, lecture notes posted, etc.) he is available during his office hours and also makes time if you can't see him then. overall great prof!

He is an awesome prof who is funny. Great lectures, easy to understand. To get an A+, redo the lecture problems, go to tutorials, try to do all the assignments on your own as much as possible . Before every test do the previous assignments and lecture problems. If you do this , you are gonna have a good time and hopefully by Gods grace get an A+...

The best stats prof i have had. Although the material is dry sometimes, he makes it more fun and bearable. He is clear and if you study like he says, you will do well. Attend the classes and tutorials, and you will be fine.

Best Math Prof!! I recommend him.

Had Fares as an instructor for Stats, he was amazing and helped aton!

A Very keen instructor. I took Elementary Calculus 2 With prof Said for Winter 2020. The course is not easy one but students need to follow his instructions. He cares about his students and teaches very important and advanced techniques that are not even in the books. I would like to study with him in the future shoud he teaches another course.

Fares Said was great professor i really liked the lectures they were easy to understand. the tests were made really easy if you study the lecture and books exercises questions you will get a good grade.

Fares is a pretty good professor for calculus and I am very satisfied of my grade. He is also hilarious, cares about students, and tries to make lectures engaging. He also gives candies to students on a few lectures. Teaching style is specific, uses examples, and answers students' questions.

Great Professor, during the COVID crisis he was extremely lenient with students. The exam was basically given to us as he gave us the literal exam test bank. Nice guy as well.

Fares Said is an amazing prof. He has an amazing teaching style by explaining every question thoroughly from his slides. If you go to his lectures, Fares would always give hints on what the quiz, test or even exam would be and he would give chocolates when he feels that people aren't paying attention, I definitely recommend taking him!

Very good Professor. Takes the time to explain things. Is always available outside of class time to help you understand the material. Lots of ways to learn the material (notes posted, homework problems) If you are not understanding the material, do the problems and take to him, so he can see where you are having problems.

Good Prof, knows his material and can explain it well. Fair to students, especially if he sees you are trying all the work problems.

Good lectures and consistent marking for a dry topic. Tests you on what he says is important. Accessible outside of class and will take the time to review material if you are having trouble understanding.

He cares, has good lectures and his notes were great. He knew the material and overall was a great prof. Id recommend his classes.

I totally recommend him. One of the best stat professor I have, makes things easy. You can reach him anytime. Very nice lectures.

Really cared about making sure I understood the material and met with me one on one via zoom a number of times. Linear algebra wasn't easy for me, but he made it more manageable. Lectures coupled with the notes were extremely helpful and he always mentioned what was important to know.

This professor is really caring and made himself accessible whenever I needed help. He gave students his personal phone number so we can reach him. The tests were a bit challenging but when I read through the examples and practice he gave they were very similar.

He is amazing! Lectures are posted online were clear and short, gives examples of every possible scenario after each concept. I didn't even need to open the textbook. He was really interactive and answered all questions.

I found this class average in difficulty. lectures were good. he used loads of examples bordering on too many sometimes. there was lots of practice and the best thing about him is that he is always willing to give one-on-one time to make sure you get the material. his notes were great and he posted loads of resources on the course website

Posts loads of resources on CuLearn, including class notes. His lectures were helpful since he always pointed out the important stuff you have to know. Always willing to help via zoom or email or phone. Liked that he was straightforward. Examples given in the lectures and practice problems really helped prepare for tests and the exam.

Despite my good grade, this class was an absolute grind, extremely content heavy, and the assignments were mercilessly graded. I worked my butt off to keep up. Doing the textbook problems is absolutely critical to doing well. I think Fares is a really nice guy, but I did not enjoy the class at all. The final exam was brutal. Good luck.

I do recommend him. His lectures are explained well and he uses lots of geometry to visualize vectors movement. He is very accommodating if its for a good reason. You need to watch the lecture, work the practice and tutorials in order to do well in this class, Test 1 was very easy and cover the class materials.

I never liked Linear Algebra until I took this class with Fares. He tries his best to help the students that are there to learn and attend his explaining lectures (office hours) he explain very well. I will definitely recommend him.

One word - AMAZING

It is Professor Fares first time teaching class and he is doing a great work and making the materials so simple. I recommend taking him when he teach this course again.

Best prof ever

Professor Said is one of the best professors for Statistics. He is very knowledgeable and he knows his stuff. He can be slow at times but only to ensure that students understand the concepts easily. His tests and assignments are fair and easy. His notes are precise and detailed. He is hilarious and kind. 10/10 recommend him.

Professor Fares is quite a faire. He balances theoretical with lots of good examples. If you go to the class you will understand the topics. The review session helped me to prepare for the final. I'm glad I took this course with him.

Great Professor explains everything well and is always willing to help his students at anytime, he is very approachable, this course won't be a source of stress for most people everything is explained well.

He really cares about us as students and wants us to do well. He covers lots of material but makes sure to point out the most important stuff so you can prepare for the tests/exam. I recommend him/his class.

MATH2007 F22. 40% Tests and 60% Final, with 5 tests. Later in the term it was changed to 60% Tests and 40% Final, and you could drop your lowest test. He teaches well and does his best to improve everyone's grades. His final review is basically the exam, with a few added things. Pretty lenient on grading and wants you to do your best.

Pretty good. It's the course content that's hard, not him that makes it hard. This isn't first year anymore. Homework so hard it made me cry for the first time in 2 years. Perseverance and patience is a must for that.

Very nice guy who provides a lot of material for students to succeed, tests are hard but are graded generously.

His lectures are great and his tests are quite reasonable(although he does have a weird tendency to fearmonger and make you think the test will be the hardest thing ever). In the last lecture of the course he told everyone all the exam questions(he didnt post it online so make sure ur there for that)

Overall a great professor with excellent notes, lectures are interesting and he gives info about the content of upcoming tests in class. He indeed exaggarates the difficulty of tests, they were fair and quite short. Final exam was easy but long, he marked them all the same day. Be sure to do all assigned textbook practices and you will do well.

Great class, Great proff.

Subject was hard but, the professor was caring and willing to help and elaborate on any questions, making the overall course easier. Fair exams.

fares said - 1 CU math department - 0

The tests were very fair. Whoever designed the course included too many complex topics, but Fares recognized this and adjusted the questions to ensure everyone had a fighting chance. Work with Fares, and he will work with you!

Overall a good prof. Very personable but sometimes it is hard for him to explain a complicated concept so it takes a very long time to progress.

Really good professor who geniunly cares about his students. Quick to reply to emails, and he takes his time to explain things. He's very nice and considerate overall. The only downside is that sometimes he takes a lot of time explaining a topic which in turn makes us fall a bit behind. But I would take another class with him!

He gets mad if you don't answer his questions during lectures, but also barely anyone showed up. Not his fault. Funny guy.

Guy does all practice problems in class and explains if any questions. attend the lectures and you are good

W prof. Curved the course marks and was very nice about assignments, midterms, and exams.

Easy grader, very generous as the material taught is very difficult, Make sure you understand formula sheet.

Prof. Fares is a supportive and engaging instructor with a great sense of humor. He truly cares about his students and makes the class enjoyable. If you stay committed and put in the effort, you'll succeed. He's approachable and creates a welcoming space for questions. Highly recommended!
