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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
