His accent may be difficult to understand so don't be afraid to request clarification. No papers, just easy oral quizzes (1 question per person) every week & 4 easy exams throughout the semester. Emails great study guides before exams & reviews them in class. Offers extra credit & is happy to review material again with you. I'm taking him again!
He was a good professor, highly recommend
He is the best teacher you will ever have. Very funny and makes the learning environment fun! His lectures are short and to the point. He sends great reviews and notes for the exams. Overall show up and youll pass.
He is a great teacher. Makes lectures fun and content easy to understand. Grades very easily and has many extra credit opportunities.
Easiest class in the world. Grades are basically just 2 point verbal quizzes and tests. He makes sure you understand everything you need to know for the test. If you give any kind of effort in the class you will pass.
All you have to do is show up. He doesn't care as much about you passing (everyone does) but he really cares about teaching you and how much you are actually learning. He was one of my first profs and I got really lucky with him.
Professor Ismail is one of the greatest teachers I have had in any course. He worries more about teaching you the material than your grades. Great teacher who explains exactly what will be on his test, so that you know exactly what to expect. Do not need to show up because all notes are online. Great guy/teacher and highly recommend him.
He sometimes lectures a bit fast, but the notes are usually uploaded to canvas anyways. I recommend typing your notes. This class definitely did NOT add on to my stressful workload.
I had a really great time in Professor Ismails class! He was really easy and made it very fun!
Overall, he was an amazing teacher. Although at times he talked at a faster pace, he made sure you understood the material.
He is very nice and makes sure you know the subject very well.
If you follow up on the lectures, take notes, and study some, then you will be just fine. Very insightful indeed.
Overall, he is a very nice teacher and is willing to answer our questions in an understandable manner. The only minor detail is that at time, during lectures, he may go a little to fast, allowing us to miss some information. However, typically, when this happens we ask him to go back or explain the topic again and he explains it well with examples.
gave easy one question out loud quizzes that i could always pass, also made the class very clear and thorough.
I would absolutely taste this class again given the opportunity.
One of the best teachers I have ever had and easily my favorite college teacher so far. He makes the class easy yet interesting, and it isn't a class you can excel in by completely slacking off. This class is an easy A if you pay attention and put in enough work outside of class. He prepares students extremely well for tests, the rest is up to you.
I thought we weren't given a fair chance to be graded on our knowledge. Lecture every Tuesday and a quiz every Thursday. Quizzes were oral, one question, and you had about 5 seconds to answer or you got a 0, attempted to answer got a 1 and if answered correctly you got a 2. I could have made an easy A in this class if graded differently.
He is by far the best teacher I've had. Everyone enjoys coming to class because he is funny and his lectures are simple. If you ever get the chance to have this professor, I highly reccomend you take it.
if you showed up and took notes. you passed
He was an absolutely amazing teacher. He provided each student with the necessary materials to succeed and was willing to clarify any questions. His notes and lectures were extremely informative and allowed for perfect knowledge when taking tests and quizzes. His tests and quizzes reflected lectures so if you participate in the class you'll succeed
He was a great and easy professor, if you show up and write note you will easily get a A+
A great teacher and a great class. Definitely recommend this class if your just starting out.
Great teacher
Easy class. Overall great professor.
Really calm and non stressful class
He was a really good professor and his lectures were interesting ������. Very good overall
Super good
He cares about teaching us and makes it easy to understand.
Professor Ismall genuinely cares about this students. He wants them to get something out of the class rather than just stressing about getting a good grade.
Good class, if you show up and take notes on lectures the quizzes and essays are easy.
Professor Ismail is wonderful. If you attend class and do the weekly quizzes you will get a great grade. He structures his exam study guides based on the actual exams, so you will know what to expect if you do them. Highly recommend taking his class if you can.
Made test reviews that were very similar to tests which especially helped with the studying.
Great professor and made sure students were prepared for the tests by providing thorough study guides.
He is knowledgeable, there are 4 exams that are easy, only assignments are one quiz per week, easy class.
There was a textbook for the class, but you could get by without it. Most information came through lectures. Professor Ismail really wanted students to learn the material and gave great exam reviews in class.
Take him for an easy A! He wants students to learn instead of worry about their grades! Just do yourself a favor and take him asap cause his classes fill up fast!
Professor Ismail is a great professor! He is very thorough and makes macroeconomics easy to understand. Professor Ismail always made sure we understood the topic and was always available if you had a question during class or outside of class. Would always go out of his way to re-explain something if you asked. Definitely recommend 100%!
Amazing
Very nice Prof. and willing to help Most of classes are just lectures about the topic material but goes pretty smooth Would recommend his class and would take again
I took his class for my Cybersecurity degree. It was mandatory class. I can say He is a great instructor. Do not hesitate to take his class, he will help you.
take him
He is so kind ,awesome and knowledgeable professor ,attendance no mandatory no assignments very easy class.I will take another class with him.
He is very intuitive on the subject and doesn't want you to fall behind. He's also very good at clarifying certain topics and don't be afraid to ask him in class as well. He really wants you to succeed.
Overall, a great teacher. He gives time for students to ask questions and answers clearly.
Professor Ismail was off-putting for me at first due to issues with finding the class and having to switch teachers, but I love his lectures because he makes me want to listen.
I love you
Super easy professor. Super funny guy and nice guy.
One of the best teachers I've ever had
Professor Ismail genuinely wants everyone to succeed. Super easy class, take it!
Easy class and super cool guy. Funny too
Great guy, super fun, explains stuff well.
Love this man
Professor Ismail is a great teacher. In terms of accessing the material and guiding his students, he is very encouraging and well thoughtful.
Lectures but understood material
Will engage the class a little but overall very good professor would recommend taking it.
He is a great professor and emphasizes on students learning the material by heart rather than taking the class just to get an A. He cares about students participating and learning something everyday.
Professor Ismail was the best professor I had ever had. He made class very engaging and her made economics easier to grasp. He cares for his students and he develops personalities with us as he explains the hard topics in situational examples that make learning easier. He is an amazing professor and human.
Mr. Ismail has an accent so it can be difficult to understand him at times, but he's willing to answer questions about the content. He always tells us what will be on the quizzes and tests beforehand so we can study properly. He has a funny way of dealing with inattentive students, such as making everyone clap their hands to make them pay attention
Great person overall
Best Professor! Cares more about us learning the material instead of the Grades we get.
Professor Ismail was very thorough and explained concept in a way that someone with only the basic understanding of economics could understand
Very straight forward and understanding
Great professor straight foward never any confusion on what to study for.
I think he was able to teach well, and cover all of the material clearly. There was not many times were I struggled in the class, without him offering to help explain the concept. Very straightforward, and always knew what to study.
Professor Ismail clearly cares about his job and does everything he can to make learning fun. He is funny and has interesting anecdotes. He does not like if you are not paying attention during his lectures, but they are never very long so it all evens out.
He's a great professor and makes his class easy. He cares more about you actually learning the content instead of just making you take tons of tests.
An easygoing professor who managed to make economics as straightforward and comprehensible as could be. Kind and wants the best for his students, makes sure they are truly learning the concepts.
Very easy class as he gave very clear study guides for all exams! Attendance does not count against you but I recommend going to have information for that week's quiz and then be there for when he goes over the study guides.
Professor Ismail is a great professor. He had a slideshow for each chapter and went over the test review in class. If you go to class you will easily pass. I would definitely recommend this class because of Professor Ismail because he is funny and caring. He gives you the tools you need to pass the class and he wants you to succeed.
He is a very kind and understanding professor and he made learning the material super easy, he cares that you are actually learning economics and benefiting from the class, he definitely sets you up for success.
Was a good class overall and the workload was not a lot which helped with the other classes that I was taking.
Professor Ismail was a great! The course was easy to follow and the information on the exams/quizzes were taught well. Easy grade if you just go to class!
A to-the-point man who knows his material well and expects the same from you. Not interested in extra fluff and frills, professor Ismail knows macro economics inside and out.
Professor Ismail is a very good professor with a good class.
This professor is very helpful. He gives great practice for the exam and is willing to answer any questions we have.
Professor Ismail is an excellent professor! He teaches really well and is very understanding when it comes to being sick and will always work with you to make sure you understand your assignment and work. I would recommend him and I would retake his class. I feel prepared for the future and know what to expect going into a different college.
Professor Ismail's priority is that you learn and understand the material, not just get a good grade. As a result, the assignments and exams are extremely easy as he provides reviews. Only drawback is that the schedule can be disorganized (class I took meets once a week, so time wasn't always used efficiently). Super caring and professional!
Great professor!
Very attentive and understanding
The professor has an easy course focused more on learning rather than grades. Participation goes a long way in this course and will allow you to get an A+ in the class.
Very amazing professor, best professor at COLLIN COLLEGE and would 100000% take this course again.
One of the best professors I've ever had, and I would love to have him again. If I could rate him 7 stars I would.
W Mans
good professor
My first and best professor very engaging straight to the point while also very lighthearted and funny If you see Fuad Ismail as your professor then its gonna be a good semester to be sure.
Amazing guy
Professor Ismail is the greatest professor ever. If I could, I would rate him a 1000000000000/10. He is very funny, and he is passionate about teaching economics. Whoever gets him as a teacher will have the best time with him and will be very lucky!!!!
If i could i would want him as my professor for my whole college life
Great professor
Take this class. As long as you attend lecture, you are essentially guarenteed an A. Quizzes and Exams are strictly composed of information covered in class, and the professor takes time to review all chapters each week, so there are zero surprises. Light on homework, just commit time to understanding each lesson, and you'll enjoy your time.
very kind and understandable. class is not hard at all as long as you pay attention. He is also very funny and interacts with us which makes his class more fun! overall an amazing professor and would take his class again!!
Great Professor who is willing to work with you and your schedule, class is easy if you attend and participate. He goes over old chapters to ensure knowledge retention which makes the class much easier.
Easygoing & enjoys teaching Economics & engaging with the whole group. Canvas quizzes each week & 4 exams. Online txtbook given that we could reference outside of class, though his lectures & notes were enough to fully understand the concepts & ideas of each chapter. Very helpful if you have questions afterwards. Quite lenient, just know your stuff
Mr. Fuad Ismail has great lectures and really helps students understand the concepts and material of microeconomics. He is engaging and makes the classroom environment feel comfortable and safe.
Easy teacher and easy course, making it understanding and beneficial.
The class is easy if you listen when he reviews the chapters; he wants you to memorize, revisit, and ask questions about them to see if we memorized them. Get the book; helpful with the homework. Easy exams if you study the study guides.
Pros- open book quizzes, exam study guides. Cons- not very organized.
He is very kind.
Easiest Class Ever !! Would definitely take this class again
The professor was very easy to follow through. Exams were easy and he goes over the review almost every class so getting good grades won't be an issue if you attend class regularly. Attending lectures will definitely help get you an A. Must take professor.
He was a very nice teacher and wasn't a harsh grader. He was very flexible on due dates and would frequently push things back to let us have more time. However, his lectures are super fast, and it's really, really hard to keep up. Also, he would frequently get frustrated when students typed notes while he lectured.
Great Professor. The class itself is pretty easy. He goes over the material in detail and gives plenty of reviews before the exams. Very flexible and will not give the exams until the majority of the class feels they are ready. He is very accommodating and I would definitely have him as a Professor again!
good lectures easy to make up missed work.
Pretty well managed class, overall if anything just should have released quizzes in my opinion at the beginning of the semester so due dates could be prepped for.
lecture based class that is well planned and thought out, however taking notes isn't favored by the professor.
Very chill teacher and gave us a lot of good reviews in order to understand the material.
Super easy class he gives you good study guides for the tests.
This was great, very easy, dont try too hard.
Very easygoing teacher. Cares about you learning the material over just getting a good grade in the tests which are already easy. Attendance is not mandatory though if you do show up for class then you'll definitely know the material for the test.
He is chill and laid back when it comes to homework and assignments. All you need to do is quizzes for chapters and 4 exams. It's a relief to study with him. He is quite fun too.
Has great lectures and keeps notes available any time online.
He is very helpful towards the students. He will make sure, you understand the specific topic. I will love to take his Econ 2302 with him.
Very funny, considerate and kind teacher. He really focuses on making sure you learn the subject rather than just giving you work and hoping you turn it in. I effortlessly learned a lot from this class and never really felt stress or anxiety to perform well because the assignments are pretty straightforward and easy. Overall great teacher.
Professor F. Ismail is very knowledgeable and knows his facts! explains his teachings very well.
Very fun and easy class
He was a good professor. Cared more about you learning than giving you lots of work.
The class is very easy to understand and the professor helps a lot with guiding the student in the correct direction.
Mostly review and slide shows. He will give test reviews before all tests that will ensure an A.
His lectures can be difficult to understand and most classes will feel like it is busy work. The review for the tests will basically give you the answers to the test so make sure you memorize the review (it is very simple).
I wish he communicated better through email and responded. A calendar of what the class would look like would have been appreciated. However, it was a pretty easy class with a good amount of independence for us to ask questions when we needed to ask them.
Dr. Ismail lectures for a long time, and often won't let you take notes while he's lecturing. This makes following the class a little difficult, and due to his mannerisms and the class environment, you may find yourself drifting to sleep now and then. But his study guides are very very helpful, and I've never worried going into a quiz or exam.
Great professor, All online content. Attend classes and follow along with notes and you'll pass this class no doubt!
Mr. Ismail is funny and chill, its not essential to go to class even though I did because it was only a once a week class. All the tests are online and not too hard. No homework 10/10
Pros: Easiest Class ever. Easy A+. He gives extra credit for attendance, making it mandatory—easy quizzes and exams. Cons: Hard to understand due to accent. Sometimes, it isn't easy to understand essential messages in lectures. Conclusion: I would take it again for easy A.
He lowkey the goat. Free 97+. Best teacher
Mr. Fuad is a great professor who taught me a lot about economics. He is really funny and his exams are easy and just like the review. Quizzes and most discussions are online, but some discussions are in person. He is a good grader and doesn't give a lot of homework outside of class at all. 10/10
Professor Ismail was a great professor. He would call on us during lectures to answer some questions but all our quizzes and exams were online as well as the first few discussions. The last few were in person and he would ask you a question about the chapter and give you points for it. He was really funny and made the class laugh a lot!
Mr. Ismail is a great teacher. He gives small lectures for about 15-20 minutes and then calls on you to answer questions, but if you aren't sure, he will help you. The tests and quizzes are all online, and he goes over the units in class, so you are aware of what will be on them.
He teaches through slides, simplifies, and provides material for the subject, making it easier to understand. Furthermore, he has lectures to review and study guides to help prepare us for exams. Overall, as a teacher, he is pretty chill and understanding.
I really enjoyed my time in Mr. Fuad's class. He is really funny and has a dry sense of humor. Although his classes were very lecture-heavy, his occasional jokes were funny. His study guides were a HUGE lifesaver—they are almost a copy of the test. However, if you do not participate, he will embarrass you. I will truly miss Mr. Fuad.
He's super nice and provides you with notes so that you can focus during lectures. He is also very understanding with due dates and will provide you with extra time to do assignments if you need it.
He is a good professor who gets the job done.
Professor Fuad is pretty good at his lectures. Just make sure to come to class because he will go over a lot of information, and make sure to take one of his earlier classes, not one of his night classes because you will be exhausted and won't be able to focus.
Professor Ismail is a good professor. He definitely cares for his students. Make sure to attend class because all that you need to know for your quizzes and exams are in his lectures.
He explained well and he do have lots knowledge
Easy to follow. Just make sure to go over the notes on your own time
He is good at communicating with students, he's patient and understanding, helps with late assignments if needed
Fuad is a great professor who is knowledgeable about Economics and cares about helping his students understand the materiel beyond a surface level. He is understanding and flexible, but has standards he helps his students to meet. No Homework other than a few quizzes. He's a great professor and I am taking him again for 2302.
Professor Ismail's class is a breeze - lots of freedom with chapter quizzes and just 4 exams. I found Unstuck AI super helpful for exam prep along with the review sessions. Definitely a laid-back, enjoyable class!
Such a nice and helpful professor! He was extremely involved in the teaching process and provided tons of examples to help us remember and understand important concepts. Make sure you show up to every lecture and pay attention, he straight up explains everything that will show up on the exams. 10/10 experience!
He was hard to understand at first but you get used to it after time. Very concise explanations and applications. Very good teacher.
He is really nice!
Easy class to take! Helped me pass many quizzes and tests through reviews and lectures.
Fuad Ismail is very lecture-heavy. The homework provided is done at home and includes weekly discussions and quizzes. The exams, however, are done in class. The exams follow the study guide almost to a tee and are reviewed in class. The professor is very knowledgeable in the subject and is focused on retention of information for his students.
Professor Ismail gives good lectures and fully prepares students for tests and quizzes. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed in his class. He also provides several resources such as textbooks and notes to help students prepare for assignments. As long as you study your terms and come to class, you should be fine.
Prof. Ismail teaches a relaxed easy going class. His class is pretty discussion and lecture oriented so it's pretty easy to keep your grade up. I would definitely take a class with him again!
He is an awesome professor. I really enjoyed taking his class. He is very understanding when it comes to submitting assignments and will extend deadlines if needed. I would definitely retake his class.
Very well taught class, focusing on teaching and does not make you stress over tests.
He's very respectful and considerate of his students as well as taking the time in going over things more than once in order to help us remember important details and facts and such, which is very helpful in my opinion. I see nothing wrong with the professor, teaching wise and everything else, he's done a good job.
If you want to take this professor, don't hesitate- I highly recommend it.
Professor cares more about you learning the subject matter than assignments.
He's really very kind-hearted and really wants you to understand the material. Over half of our once-a-week classes were review so it got VERY tiring. He really stresses attendance but is so understanding when it comes to due dates as long as you're communicative, and the homework is very easy. He's laid-back because he wants you to learn!
He is a great, kind, and very knowledgeable professor. Be ready to take notes over the lecture, as a lot is covered. Assignments and tests are easy. It may be a bit hard to understand due to his accent, but he is still understandable and funny
This is my second time taking Professor Ismail's class. He is very passionate about his lectures and teaching. He reviews the study guide for the exams, which is 20 questions. There was a quiz in Canvas every week regarding his lectures, based on 10 questions. If you use your common sense and pay attention, you will pass.
Very easy professor that reallyyyy cares about your learning over grades. The course is extremely easy to get an A in. He's lecture heavy and sometimes hard to understand, but class is very interactive and has no assignments except for canvas quizzes and a test every few weeks.
He has an online textbook to read, but all of the stuff on quizzes & tests is on a condensed version on Canvas. Tests have a study guide, & he goes over the exact type of questions on the test and the expected answer. He has a slight accent, but I didn't have an issue with this & he will repeat himself as many times as you ask. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!
hes pretty chill tbh. only had quizzes and a discussion every week and besides that he explains the chaptes and content and stuff pretty good. even if u skip lectures he had notes on canvas so it was easy to take the quizzes cuz the notes were hella helpful. attendance aint required but going def helps understand the material better
Extremely knowledgeable in economics. You won't regret taking him.
Really dreaded Micro & Macroeconomics but this professor made it interesting and was funny. He likes for the students to interact and answer questions. I took him for both classes.
He really wanted us to actually learn something from his lectures, which is something I respected a lot. His lectures were very engaging and didn't give out a lot of work! He's an excellent professor!
Great teacher and always gives students opportunities to make up missed work. Very understanding and straightforward. Would definitely take again.
I had a great experience in this course, thanks to the teacher's exceptional support and understanding. The instructor was always patient and approachable, which made learning feel much more accessible. They took the time to clarify difficult concepts and were always ready to help.
BEST PROFESSOR ever, the easiest class i took and he was so nice and clear with everything. I AM TELLING IF YOU WANT TO PASS ECONOMICS WITH EASE TAKE HIM!!
Awesome professor, please take him if you have the opportunity! If you speak up and answer his review questions in class you will do fine!! Quizzes and exams are suuuuper easy if you pay attention.
I took Professor Ismail, for ECON 2301 - Principles of Macroeconomics. He has discussions and quizzes which are pretty straightforward. You have 4 exams and that makes up the major part of your grade. He is very patient with everyone and if get the answer wrong, he will help you find the right answer.
Would definitely take Professor Ismail again! Great professor! Assignments were quizzes and discussions. Exams are major part of your grade!
