He is great. Take his class, he knows whats up and is pretty cool too.
He is a great Professor, I'm horrible at math but the way he teaches, I understand the material and get good grades! He's such a nice guy as well and always adds a little humor to the class!
hes funny and not too hard!
Funny guy. Very good teacher. Acutally made Math 126 clear and understandable to a person who sucks at Math. highly recommend
Very good teacher, funny, and gives out a "reasonable" amount of work. Class structure is done very well too
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROFESSORS AT DEPAUL! Best math teacher ever...explains things so clearly! Gives appropriate amount of homework and really wants everyone to be successful. Hilarious too!
Great guy, simply the best math teacher at Depaul. Only teaches what you need to know with no rush.
ok, if you absolutely hate math, and want to put the most minimal effort in, I recommed zazi, i am still wondering how I got a b- in the class, if you get a 60% overall grade in the class you get a c-, so do urself a favor and take him!!
Very good teacher, very silly too.
He is an awesome teacher with some very funny jokes. I hate math and I got an A-. I recomend him.
Good teacher, funny.
He is not a good instructor. I think the only reason students take him is because he grades on a curve. You can get 60% and still get a C- in the class. He goes really fast and it's hard to keep up with him.
Great teacher and explained everything very good. RECOMMENDED!!!
he's so cool. i love his weird jokes about friends from Mars or your uncle. one of his jokes was even about drugs (lol). he makes everything totally clear, and his tests are not hard at all. he wants everyone to get a good grade!
Best teacher ever! So easy gives basically no home work. 15 problem tests. If you dont get an A then you need help. Oh makes the stupidest jokes but that's what makes them funny!
I've had four classes with Zazi, so far all A's....enough said.
Great teacher! Is clear and explains the material very well.
He is an awsome teacher. I truly recommend as he is clear and helpful. :+) His jokes are weired but funny. Will miss it.
BEST teacher ever! Hands down - i actually enjoyed going to math - no joke! He makes everything so clear and so easy to understand imp going to miss this guy and his great jokes :) best teacher DePaul has to offer - take him! Great guy !!
He is a great professor. He makes weird analogies and jokes but he gets the point across. I will take him again for BMS 126
funniest teacher ever. made 3hrs. go by fast. kept the material as simple as possible. gives great notes and covers everything before the test. BEST TEACHER AT DEPAUL!!!
2 WORDS - ZAZI RULZ!!!!!!!!
Out of all my math professors, ZAZI is the bst one that I have had. He makes everything seem so easy and he is really helpful. And if you have him for a night class he never stays more than an hour and a half. Best Teacher Ever. Im taking him for BMS 142
Zazi is a great teacher. Very funny, and always willing to help. I would definitely take him again.
Definately not overrated but definately taken advantage of! He teaches well and its a fun class to be in.
I failed calc 3x's, until Zazi.He is great!I got a B.Do the hw,& study(as much as one can study for calc.)Got C on midterm.Quizzes everyday--so be prepared.I'm not one of those overachievers who thinks all classes are cake,but it wasn't that hard! If he is too hard take Wong.It's ridiculously easy.
great!! very helpful, wants u to pass, so he does everything possible to make u understand, goes out of his way ...just great!
He can make anyone understand BMS. He's a great teacher. If the class isnt closed by the time you register, you hit the jackpot. Zazi's freaking awesome!
explains things clearly and lets you out early. doesnt take too much effort on your part. if you are reasonably good at bms its a breeze
ZAZI IS THE MAN. He is the BEST math teacher in this entire university. He is the ONLY BMS teacher I am willing to take. And believe me, I've taken almost every BMS teacher at this school. So if you 're enrolled in Zazi's class, do not even THINK about dropping it, you will regret it! Once you've had Zazi, no other math teacher will do.
HE IS THE GREATEST PROF. AT DEPAUL!! VERY EASY GOING AND UNDERSTANDING. HE'S FUNNY AND HE'S JUST MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND MATH!!!
I had BMS 125 two years prior to taking Zazi, I thought I was rusty, did bad on one test. That's just it, Zazi is awesome. He really makes you understand the subject and doesn't make night class a snooze. Very worth taking and never contimplate dropping, just stick it out--you'll do FINE! Considers every 'trying' student.
Excellent professor
excellent professor!
Mmm, was Zazi as good for me as he was for you? YOU BET. I am going to miss him once I am done with my class. We've seriously become a family since BMS 126 last quarter and I LOVE THE GUY. He cares about the students and thier progress as long as you show an ounce of effort. Never had to retake a math class at DePaul, like everyone else speaks of.
Zazi is hilarious, even his name is funny. He's from some Meditearean country - like Crete. He's good at teaching the material and the midterm was very easy. Take him.
the final is REALLY difficult
BEST PROFESSOR AT DEPAUL TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
ZAZI IS AWESOME. Youd have to be a total dumbass not to get a good grade in his class!!!
WOW is all I can say about Zazi!Do not listen to anyone who may have rated him bad.Zazi is one of the best professors I've had at DePaul.He is soo nice and funny,and he cares about his students.Business Stats can be hard,but he makes it soo easy to understand.If you can take him,you're lucky!You'd be stupid to pass him up.Amazing,amazing,amazing!!!
Nice guy, but not a good math professor. First, he doesnt give a review for the midterm or final. he says that everything we lean is fair game. no curve, and does not give partial credit. he went over 3 chapters in 15 mins, and does not encourage questions. no review, his homework is not related to the quizes and he makes corny jokes.
Funniest Math teacher I have ever had! Really good at explaining concepts and answering questions. Tests are not difficult if you have done the homework (which you also get points for)!
zazi is my favorite teacher at depaul. he makes class so fun. he is hilarious and to make it better clearly explains the concepts. if you do any work you will excell in his class. i am going to miss not having a class with him, i had him for bms 125 as well. BEST TEACHER AROUND!
What an amazing teacher. I learned so much in the class and got an easy A. I had a night class and was worried it would be hard since it was one night a week, but it was easy to keep up.
Take him! He explains well and is funny in his lectures. VERY fair grader. Got an A and didn't study too hard.
Please DO NOT beleive all of these things. I consider myself a good and dedicated student and I struggled for a B. He assigns tons of homework which the exams do not even cover, totally unorganized !
Totally agree ! He has totally changed. i took him for 125, it was a peice of cake. Now for BMS 126 he changed his entire teaching method. He makes things confusing, especially if you are not a math person. Think twice before taking him if your GPA means anything to you .
One word : AWFUL !
He's a nice guy he just makes things semm harder than they are supposed to be .
He is good.
Zazi is great! He explains everything in detail and gives great and funny life examples! Great sense of humor. Easy grader.
this guy is the best. explains everything clearly. VERY EASY TESTS. i took him for bms 125, the final was 8 questions. lets night classes out early. once ur done with the aterial for the day, ur good to go. he's an awesome, quiet guy. highly recommend
Amazing teacher, I felt bad for him because the kids in the class took advantage of his kindness.... definatly a great teacher to take. I had a 100 average... pleeease
He's a funny guy, doesn't count attendance, but you should be in class anyway because he gives out mini group quiz things every week (it's a night class), he explains everything really well, you just gotta put in the effort!
I love this guy,he's funny as hell,and truly cares about his students.Take him for as many classes as you can, he's worth it.
By far the best teacher that I had at DePaul. If you can, take him! I am not going to take 141 with anyone else, but him.
HE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER ON THIS EARTH,,,
He's a good teacher who explains everything clearly. He tells corny jokes but it makes math a little lighter. I had him for a night class and he always let us out about an hour early.
This class was a bust. Prof was very unclear in teaching info. I felt like I did all of the teaching to myself. Tests were easy mult choice, but challenging because his teaching or lack there of. Lets you out early. Mis-imputted the mid-term grades giving me an 80% rather than the 95% I earned. Kind of a dunderhead.I was one of the few A's in class
NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TAKING YOUR CLASS AT NIGHT WITH THIS TEACHER.
DONT TAKE HIM! night class was horrible, had to drop. couldnt understand him, he had the oddest accent. Moved way to fast for me to understand what i was really copying from the board. it was a waste of time because i didnt even need this class for my major and i dont know how i got in the class, i was horrible on the placement test.
Zazi is just OK homework weekly(not collected) then a quiz over that at the end of class after he teaches the next chapter. Always got out early but had to teach myself office hours are only 45 min. before class. Not a great teacher if you don't know whats up. Otherwise take him if you do.
Definitely would not recommend! Although helpful and being a nice guy, He definitely lacks the ability to teach the course correctly. Moves extremely fast and you're basically going to have to teach yourself the material. Midterm and Final are both only 20 questions and worth 60% of your grade. 40% are quizes. Seriously, Do not take him!
good professor, nice guy, and not to difficult.
he goes through many examples which may be hard to understand. take notes and go to him before class to ask questions. quiz each week as a night class, but class goes by very fast, so dont fall behind. show that you are understanding and he'll notice. very good prof.
He is a great teacher who teaches only what you need to know. If you need help go to his office hours and ask he's more than willing to help you out. Plus, he tells these really lame jokes in class that make it more interesting. Would definitely recommend his class since its too the point and fun sometimes. Those who hate him don't try in his class
His stats class was so easy, I got an A+ without trying too hard. Basically as long as you pay attention you'll get an A, he goes over everything really clearly. Homework is optional, easy 10 point quiz each week + midterm + final. Plus he let us out an hour early every week, so if you have to take a night class this is the one to take.
Zazi is awesome. Funny little Greek dude. Weekly quizes are easy as long as you do the homework. His midterm and finals were very short which i'm not used to in calc classes, but once again very easy as long as you do the homework.
Take the notes, use the formula sheet you are allowed to have, and know how to do things on your calculator. If you do that the quizes won't be bad, and a the night class gets out early. Take him! He makes stats simple.
This guy makes class fun! I would recommend being attentive in class because that way you won't have to study too hard. Make sure you know how to do the things in the calculator.
Awesome teacher, very easy if you go to class (which you need to to take weekly quiz) and follow his notes and examples, midterm, final, weekly quiz are your grade, i took a night class and got out and hour/45 min early. take him for stats he simplifies everything
Great teacher, easy class. Weekly quizes that are easy, mid term and final only take about 30 min to finish and class gets out early every time. Do the homework so you understand the quiz.
You need to attend every class since there's a quiz every week on the prior homework. Definitely a great teacher and really knows his material, was more than helpful to meet with me outside of class. I had a C- in another MAT 135, Professor Zazi is so good that I got an A- in this class
Just do the homework and u will do good on the Quiz's. U have to go to class all the time because he gives quiz's at the end of the class.
not a bad class. midterm and final are easy if u study. quizzes based off homework even tho i thought they were different. drops 1 quiz. nice guy
Took him based on previous reviews, only to get screwed over. He goes way too fast, gives a quiz every day in class which counts towards your grade, screw one up and say bye to that A. I was very disappointed.
Horrible. Daily quizzes will kill your grade, you have to show up every day. Hard class. Assumes students already know the material, and moves quickly. Take Safa Hamed instead, you'll thank me later.
bad experience, having to retake this class again.. avoid at all costs. unless your some sort of math genius, then im sure you'll do fine.
Nice guy, but curriculum he uses is not.
if you see this review, keep searching.. this is not a professor u want to take.... =/
Very nice guy, but by no means is the class easy. As long as you put in a lot of outside class time to study, and keep up you will do just fine. You will be expected to know the material before showing up to class, which is a downside so you have to study outside of class and teach yourself.
I spent more time with math tutors then I did in class, but even then I struggled. Very tough professor in my opinion.
I agree with everyone else he is a nice guy, but gets down to business. Expect to spend alot of time with tutors if you do not already understand the material, as he likes to assume everyone in the class is some sort of math genius.
Great professor! He is very clear and approachable. Great with answering questions. For this class, our grade was made up of only the weekly quizzes, the mid-term and final. He always lets his night classes out an hour or more early. Nice man, and he teaches at a great pace. Take notes, listen, and come to class. you should be fine.
Professor Zazi is a GREAT professor. He brings the difficult subject matter to students level so that its easy to understand. This was the first B I ever earned in a math class. Sometimes you have to stop him to understand whats going on, but the bottom line is he teaches..you learn end of story. WATCH for the final though, its tough!!
He is great and this class was clear and concise. I highly recommend anyone take him.
Very difficult class, he expects students to know the material and if you dare to ask a question in class he will make you look stupid and make fun of you in front of the class. Rushes way too fast through material, none of the students knew what was going on in the class. Be prepared to spend countless if hours with math tutors when taking him.
hes okay...expects u to have course knowledge prior to taking class which makes no sense to me. if ur a math wiz go ahead, if not id keep looking.
he is funny, the class is easy. The class always over one hour early. overall, he is wonderful!!!!
SO nice! he's also really funny and always willing to meet before class to go over any questions since theres a test every class, but it's literally so easy cause the quizzes are 3 questions and JUST like the homework, its a night class but were always out atleast an hour before. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM
He is the BEST teacher...okay math is not simple i would know struggled with math all my life, this teacher will explain to you the basics of math and not all this theory stuff other teachers teach you...this is my seconds time retaking it, and only had to go to tutor once. and lets us leave an hour early
I could slap myself for not taking Zazi for 136 this quarter. He was SUCH a great teacher, his class is literally calc for dummies. Make sure you do the hw because the same problems show up on weekly quizes and exams--which are SO EASY if you do hw. He only teaches you what u need to know for tests, which i LOVED. DEF taking him for Stats SP Qr.
Zazi is great and funny. I took a night class w/ him & he always lets us leave an hour early which is nice. Weekly hw, only a few problems, very easy. Weekly quizzes which come directly from hw & drops the lowest grade. Midterm was easy & multiple choice. Final not cummulative since we did good on midterm.
All I have to say is take this professor. He is by far the sweetest guy and such a great teacher. I was hesitant to post on here until I was for sure signed up in his 137 class because I wanted to make sure I got my spot! I have had him for 135, 136, and 137. He makes calc fun, class is always let out very early, JUST TAKE HIM. YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Good teacher and all of his classes are very easy. I took him for MAT 135,136, and 137. He's a nice guy and is funny at times. He gives out a weekly quiz with about 5 questions and that is worth 40% of the grade. Midterm and Final are worth 30%. Concentrate on doing well on the quizzes very simple.
DO your homework that he assigns, this is the BEST and only advice I can give you. Calc. is not my strong suit, so I am not going to say it was easy, but if you take the time to do your homework and actually do it you will do fine. Very similar problems from the homework are on the quizzes. Again if you want to do well in his class do YOUR HW.
The only people who didn't do well in my class were the dumb asses who never did HW, listened in class, and then complained about the teacher. HW problems appear on the quiz. Both HW & quiz problems are on final and midterm. TAKE ZAZI! Just don't expect staying awake in class to get you an A, you need to DO HW AND STUDY! + he is HILARIOUS.
four words "Zazi is the man"! if you value your grade take him, believe me you will understand math after taking this guy. He breaks everything down and gives you exactly what you need to be successful in the course.
Zazi is the best math teacher ive had. Hes funny, and allows people to actually interact in the class. We had legit times in math class and thats hard to say. I took him for both 135,136 and got A's. You actually learn somtn retainable
Very easy class. He is clear and concise when teaching and the class always ended early. As long as you take notes and pay attention his class is very easy to pass. His midterm is multiple choice and very easy!
For once I actually enjoyed a math based class. It wasn't easy but he explains really well and works through problems on the board. He has a good sense of humor and appreciates interaction. Wish he had taught 137
ZAZI IS THE MAN! Take him if you like funny teachers who are awesome. Easy A if you pay attention and do all the homework.
Zazi = the BEST! He's funny too! Never enjoyed math so much! Buy mymathlab. No book. Multiple choice test, so if u don't know something u can use the answers and work backwards. He's not picky either. Exapmle:I answered .014 instead of 1.4% & he gave me 1/2 credit after I spoke with him. He really wants you to pass. Just make sure u go to class!
Coolest math teacher ever. I only wish he allowed us to use a little sheet of notes on tests like some of my past math teachers. Other than that little thing, awesome.
OMG! Prof. Zazi rocks!!! If math is not your strength you must take him! He is a first teacher who makes a difficult class easy and breezy. You must work though to achieve a grade you want, but it is an easy A if you are not afraid to spend couple of hours outside the school and practice! No surprises on midterm and final. Take him; won't regret!!!
Zazi is the GREATEST MATH TEACHER of ALL TIME.
This prof was a pretty good. i was kind of nervous of taking math cause i've had bad luck with other teachers but he really did break it down and make it easy. there's quizes everyweek on the hw due the week before so it's convinient. not to mention you get out early :D wish i could take 136/137 too
Great teacher. He thoroughly explained each and every problem in class which made the HW and Quizzes easy. The HW is online with mylabsplus. There is a quiz every week. Mid-term and final is multiple choice and some quizzes are too. You would have to be really lazy to not get a B n this class at the least. I would totally recommend to anyone.
If you are not good at math TAKE HIM!!! I can not stress it enough! He is absolutely awesome!! Very helpful, funny, and explains things when asked! Easy pass!!!
Zazi is a Great teacher, He made a difficult subject more interesting and receptive. There are quizzes, don't worry if you come to class you will be fine. His accent is a little difficult to understand at times but he does a great job making sure the whole class is on the same page.
Please disregard bad reviews of him, trust me. I'm also one of those students who are not math gifted, and Zazi made it easy to understand and even fun! Attendance does not count for a grade but you NEED to attend since every lecture teaches you about everything you need to know for the tests, and there is always a small (easy quiz).
Best decision, take him. He drops the lowest quiz and re-extends homework on mymathlab before the final and midterm. Exams are multiple choice. I got a D on the midterm and a C on the final, A on every weekly quiz, I still came out with a B as a final grade. How is that even possible? He always ended night class an hour early. Don't need the book.
Take his class. Show up every week, you'll excel. Take notes. The lowest homework and quiz grades dropped. He's funny. If you don't get it, the homework teaches you what you need to know. Not a hard or strenuous class! You don't need the textbook either! Just the online code!
the best professor everrrrrrr.
Had Mr. Zazi for a night class and always got out early. Weekly tests and lectures are easy to follow. Homework problems reflect what is on the weekly quiz. Funny and interesting fella with a few canny jokes here and there. Wears the same shoes every week to class. Highly recommended.
Quiz at the end of every class but you always get out early. Refueled my love for math and made this a very easy class. The midterm and final was 20-25 questions multiple choice. Take him before his class fills up! You can survive a night class with him trust me.
Zazi is by far the best math professor I have ever had! I took him for 136 and 137. He tells you exactly what to study for the weekly quizzes/midterm/final. Go to class, take notes, and do the hw and you will get an A.
Zazi is a great guy. He also tries to be funny, but his jokes are so bad it makes him even funnier. Weekly homework, weekly quiz which is usually 3-4 problems multiple choice. midterm is 20 questions multiple choice and final is 25 multiple choice. super easy A. Also if you are trying to cheat your way through he gives 2 different exams, sorry.
He is a pretty easy professor, but I hate that he gives out multiple choice tests and quizzes. The midterm and final was 20 multiple choice questions. If you get one question wrong then 5 points cut off. I wish he allowed to show our work in the tests to get partial points. Other than that he is a solid choice. A 75 is a B- in his class.
This is 100% the best math professor you can have. I went from being completely lost in 135 to acing every quiz getting a 100 on the midterm. Night class we get let out an hour early, the homework helps you for the quizzes, the quizzes help you for the exams. Class is set up great and he teaches the subject to make it easy to understand. Take him!
I was so nervous to take 136 because of how hard 135 was because my old professor was so confusing. When I took it with Zazi, he went through every step and explained everything to make it perfectly understandable. Weekly quizzes were super easy and the HW you should always get 100% on, Midterm and final only 20 questions that were super easy, take
Best math professor at DePaul. I never took Pre-calc and barely squeezed by in MAT135, but Zazi made the class easy to understand. Funny guy who makes the class lighthearted and fast for a night class. Midterm/final only 20 multiple choice questions; quizes every week. Study and you will get an A. Take him; you will not regret it.
Very easy class if you actually study the work he gives you. You should not get lower than a B in the course.
He is very clear and specific in his lectures. One thing is that he writes his lecture stuff in cursive on the board. I did the 3 hour night class, and he usually lets out early, but no break and a quiz every class period. He is a funny guy, but that kind of encourages some of the students to not take it seriously and ruin it for the rest of us.
By far the best calculus teacher EVER! He is clear, direct, and funny. His teaching is very straightforward. He does not only teach from the textbook, he is also throws his own flavor to the lecture. If you are looking for a teacher who is nice, direct and clear, Zazi is your guy. If you want to fall in love with math again, he is your guy.
Great Professor! Put in the work and you will get a great grade in the class! Study the quizzes and you will do great on the midterm and final! Multiple Choice everything!
ZAZI GOAT - GREATEST. OF. ALL. TIME. Class consists of online homework worth 10% (drops lowest grade), Daily Quizzes worth 30%(drops lowest one), MIdterm 30% and final worth 30% . Zazi is a respectable guy who will do anything to make sure you are learning the material. If youre scared of taking Calc but need to pass? CHOOSE ZAZI.
If you struggle with Calculus, take Zazi. The homework is very manageable and the quizzes (5 multiple choice questions for a total of 10 points) are easy if you did the HW and/or paid attention in class.
Overall good proffesor. Theres a quiz each week on topic from previous week. Each quiz is 3-6 multiple choice questions and isnt that hard. Midterm & Final are harder then quizzes but nothing crazy. Lectures a lot so takr detailed notes. Would take again.
Very straight forward and makes a potentially boring subject fun. All homework is online and quizzes are as easy as he can make them. Great teacher, definitely recommend him.
Took his night class, class always ended after 2 hours instead of the full 3, incredibly easy, weekly quizzes at the end of class, weekly online homework assignments, all exams and quizzes are entirely multiple choice, not the greatest teacher but it is so easy to get a good grade
I despise math, but Zazi made it bearable. I took 135, 136, and 137 with Zazi. You have to earn his respect by showing up, taking notes, and working for your grade, and even if you fail the midterm or final you'll pass with a B. Study for the weekly quizzes, midterm and final! Writes the formulas on the board during quizzes, midterm and final.
Didn't need textbook which is always appreciated. Lecture heavy but easy to understand. Class is a breeze if you take good notes, and do the homework. Use it to study!
I have always sucked at math, but Prof. Zazi makes sure that people UNDERSTAND the material. First time having an A in math since 7th grade. Very humorous and cares about students. Don't use your phone and pay attention! EASY quizzes and gives study guides that are exactly like the midterm and final.
Zazi is an awesome teacher. I took Calc 1 two years ago, and forgot basically everything. I took his Calc 2 class and it wasn't difficult at all. He gives you formulas when necessary on the quizzes. He provides study guides that are exactly like the test. I definitely recommend! (Didn't use the book but it is required to buy mylabsplus)
THE BEST prof at DePaul! Absolutely love him! Took him for MAT 135, 136 & 137. His lectures are straight forward & easy to understand if you pay attention & take notes. He will give you practice problems for the midterm and final, easy A if you do them - they are identical to the actual exams. Always looked forward to his class & his jokes!
If you get this professor for your class consider yourself lucky. He is the best in the department. Easy A and a lot of fun.
I had Professor Zazi for MAT 136 and 137 and he's amongst the best at DePaul. He's hilarious, but can be a stickler at times if students talk over him/are on their phones. Make sure you attend class and take good notes because he literally covers everything on the quizzes. It's certainly possible to get an A, but I bombed the final and got a B.
Zazi is more traditional in terms of his personality. He talked a lot about hating Bernie and AOC. Hes funny at times and tries to explain everything. If he has a bad impression of you, you definitely get a different side of him. Ive taken three classes with him and noticed that with people who dont show up or talk a lot in class so beware.
Pretty easy class if you show up and take good notes that will help you do the homework. The homework code comes with the textbook. He gives you study guides for quizzes that are almost exactly like the quiz. The final was easy and multiple choice while the midterm required you to study the homework more in depth. Overall, great guy!
Pretty much had to teach myself the whole quarter because his notes don't correlate with the homework nor test/quizzes. He'll give you practice problems before a quiz so I suggest studying those. He babbles on too much, tries to be funny, and put every word he says on the board which was so unnecessary.
Really good professor. Took him over the summer, and was only graded on midterm final and homework. Final was multiple choice and a lot easier than the midterm. He has a good sense of humor and always let us out early. would take again.
What a funny little guy. The material was difficult for me, so I had to try a little harder for this class. However his quizzes, midterm, final all looked very similar to the homework so as long as you know how to solve it using the calculator you'll be fine! He makes a lot of funny side comments that made my class bearable.
Zazi is a great professor who basically teaches you everything you need to know in the easiest way. In other words, he doesn't sugar coat things. Just tells you how to put it in the calculator and that's it. Pretty easy A, nice guy.
Easy A. Easy HW, midterm and final are a breeze
Best math professor I have ever take, I am not a math type of person but he not tough & only assigned things that were straight from his lecture, NOTHING that he did not go through. Slides get boring and I liked that he was old school and wrote everything on paper and showed it though his camera it made me feel like we were in class
Professor Zazi made the lectures interesting and funny to listen to. You can tell that he cares about his students and as long as you pay attention, you will do very well in the class. Take him and you won't regret it.
I had an online, 3 hour class with him and it was sooo bad. it was a passable class, i just did not really enjoy him as a professor. maybe if it was an in person class things would be different but i do not advise anyone to take an online class with him
