Excellent instructor. After every concept presented she asked,"Who has questions?"She met with me several times during office hours, and would stay after class as long as possible. Sincere. Easy exams, but you must know the material. Email her if you have questions, she will answer. One of two best instructors I ever had.(Junior Level)

Some people in my class didnt like her, but I thought she was a really good teacher. She has an accent but you get used to it really fast. I wish i could have her for class next semester.

Probably the best math teacher at UMD. She knows what she is talking about and is well organized when it comes to material being covered for exams. If you pay attention-guaranteed A

Good professor, not exactly easy but she does explain things well. But if you don't do the homework it is going to be difficult. The only bad thing is she sometimes makes mistakes during lecture that she does not notice and has to be corrected by a student. Overall I would take another class with her.

By Far the best math teacher I've ever had. Math terrifies me. This is my second class with her and I will take her again for my next if I can. Those who say she is difficult, did not want to do the work. She also states attendance is mandatory, but if you participate in class and do the homework, she leaves you alone.

She's awesome. i took precalc in the summer and had to drop the class before i failed. With her i got an A on every test. she uses the top 5 quizzes out of 10 and she lets you use a notecard on all exams. she also uses webwork for homework that counts. first 100 points you get for credit and anything above that is extra credit. SHES AMAZING

Not easy...its calc and not even the regular calc but its definitely not hard. She teaches the subject very well and i understood what she said very easily. She really helps you out with the grade, just do the ctools homework and study a little bit for quizzes and tests and just use her office hours you should be able to ace it with easy.

She was one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I believe everyone should take atleast one class with her. She explains clearly and is very lenient when it comes down to unexpected missed work. I absolutely loved this class with her.

GREAT TEACHER she is very nice and class was very pleasant. She has decent exams but you come very prepared for them

Highly Recommended! She is an awesome professor! Super easy, just pay attention in class and understand the material and your fine with everything else. 3 exams and are only 10 questions!

She was a very nice and helpful professor. Sometimes has a fast pace but if you ask questions and are a dedicated student you should have no problem whatsoever, she's willing to answer any and all questions and always asks if people are understanding. Easy class and good professor

I wish I could take her class again. Amazing teacher. Very friendly and helpful. I retook this class with her, because I took Turfe the first time. Don't take Turfe! Ever! Ghada gives quizzes to keep everyone up to date and let us use notecards. I personally loved her class.

I would really recommend this class. Best Math 090 youll ever take. You have homework due every week online, quizes and a test. But super easy and she offers extra credit on every quiz and test. Plus she offers optional quizez. Easy A plus youll learn a lot.

Prof. Beydoun is great. Very easy class never any surprises on her tests/quizzes and offers a lot of e.c. so it's easy to get an A. Usually finishes up class early and gets straight to the point. Text book is NOT required, just the electronic code for MML

Really easy. She does have an accent but you get used to it pretty quickly. Anything above 95% is an A+. Tests are exactly like the homework and there's always extra credit. Must take for non-math/science/business majors. Takes attendance but it's not graded.

Loved her! She's got a Seinfeld sense of humor. No surprises. What you see is what you get! Her extra credit helped me earn a whole letter grade higher!

She is very clear and organized in her method of teaching. She's easy to follow and she is open to answering questions in class. You don't have to go to every class to grasp the material. Math 90 is pretty much high school review. Also, don't buy the loose leaf book buy the online version. It's cheaper and all the hw is done online anyway.

Amazing professor! Gave lots of extra credit! drops the lowest hw scores and quizzes! GREAT PROFESSOR! highly recommend

She is a great professor! Explains things very well in a step by step process and uses a lot of examples in class. I got a B in pre calc but an A+ in her business calc class and i really think she had a lot to do with it. Answers all questions and allows you to use a note card on all of the exams.

The class was easy if you had a basic understanding of the math you learned in high school. Beydoun was very helpful to other students that struggled during class. She barely gave homework; the assignments she did give were easy and they were 10 questions at the most. I would recommend anyone to taker her class.

She's very nice and she gets to the point. NO TEXTBOOK NEEDED. Attendance is like 5% of your grade and she gave us an extra credit writing assignment. There's a ton of extra credit opportunities. She has a light accent but it's bearable. She actually taught us and would always want us to ask questions. She calls on volunteers to answer so watch out

She is an awesome teacher. Explains in detail and does many example problems. Always answers questions. I think there were 4 exams and a final. She drops the lowest exam score. The final was super easy. Online homework is rarely ever more than 10 questions. I ended up with an A. I highly recommend taking this class with Professor Beydoun!

very nice person her tests are easy I will take a class with her again

Super helpful, take her class. She is a great math professor for people who are slow with math-like me! She is clear and thorough when she teaches; also, answers all questions willingly. Like all math classes, you will do best if you do the homework so try not to skip too many assignments.

The best teacher for math by far. She will help you if you are willing to learn. Always go to class and you will do fine.

Sometimes lectures are confusing, but overall tests are on the easier side because you get to use a note card. If you study and write main topics down for the note cards you will be fine. A lot of extra credit points are given for WebWork so it could save your grade if you do it all.

Great professor, clear and does not try to trick you on the exam(s). If you did the homeworkquizzesstudy guide you will do just fine on the exams and final. Must do online homework and online forums to do well in the class. Would highly recommend this professor especially if you struggle in math.

Math wasn't really my best subject at all. However, this class helped me alot. Professor Saad is very clear with what she's expecting. Homework is always given and is important since she bases off the tests and final exam from it! Final exam wasn't bad at all! Had one short paper also! Definitely recommend taking her!

Great teacher, well paced. Goes over material completely; everything on the test are things she will have went over during lectures. Webworks are a big help; not mandatory, but helps a lot.

great teacher, fast paced, if you show interest she will be more receptive. take lots of notes, pays to be organized.

She is the best teacher!! I recommended her to all my friends. WebWork is all extra credit and she gave 2 assignments and an optional quiz to replace three quizzes. Her exams weren't tricky at all. All you have to do is pay attention in class and do the assigned homework for each section, which aren't graded by the way, and you'll get an A.

Amazing professor, super helpful and really cares about your grade.

Fantastic professor. Do what is expected of you and show up to class and you will do well. Also, do the WebWork, it will help you immensely and sums to an extra 10% on your final.

You can tell that she is eager to teach and she is readily available to answer any questions. Doesn't respond to emails in a timely manner but in person she tries her best to answer any questions or concerns. She genuinely cares and will help you out if you demonstrate effort!

Tons of extra credit easy to get an A.

Professor Saads teaching style is amazing aside from the fact that she rushes too much while teaching to the point where we end class early everyday. She offers a lot of extra credit which helps your grade a lot. Drops one exam and one quiz and overall very helpful and really cares about your grade as long as you show her you care she will love u

She was very hard to understand because of her accent, and she moves very quickly. That said she is very knowledgeable and very good at explaining if you listen carefully. Her grading is straightforward and there is plenty of opportunity for extra credit.

Her involvement in this class is minimal, but if you have any questions she is quick to respond. Very, very easy class to pass. Several exams, some homework, and a minimum time commitment of 5 hours a week.

I took Prof. Saad for both Calc 1 and Calc 2, although the material may be difficult, she makes it so much easier for us. Quizzes and tests are not difficult, but it covers a lot of the material. There is so much extra credit that it'd be hard to get anything below a B just barely trying. She drops lowest score for 1 quiz and 1 exam.

I had Professor Saad for Math 115 and I will be taking her for 116 this summer. She is one of the greatest professors I had have since my freshman year. If you need help do no hesitate to ask her. Her lectures are amazing, and she gives extra credit on every exam and quiz. If you can try to take it with her. BEST MATH PROF!!!

This professor is literally AMAZING. I took this class before and failed but i finished with over 100% in her class, an A+. She literally gives around 40 points of extra credit and the exam extra credit is straight from the notes. I never did the homework unless she specifically said to. The tests are JUST like the notes. Study them and you're fine

I had Dr. Saad for Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 and got an A+ in both classes. Dr Saad makes you work for your grade, however she is very straight forward in the exam and quiz questions. She drops your lowest exam score, and she offers extra credit in every exam and quiz. She is not a tough grader, and is very fair. Best professor I have ever had.

Best math prof at UMD. Trust me when I say this, take all your math courses with her.

The best math teacher I have had and I took Calc! She made it simple

Dr. Saad is a great professor that gives a lot of extra credit to her students. Never had math explained in a more clear-cut way than the way she did. She's one of the few math teachers at UMD that doesn't make the class get into groups and teach themselves, so take her whenever you get the chance.

Professor Saad is nothing short of an absolute inspiration to her students. She always provides feedback and always gives extra credit if the student is working hard enough. Keep doing what you do!

I enjoyed Calculus 2 with Mrs Saad. She explained everything well during lecture, and gave us practice problems for every section. She allowed note sheets during exams.

She drops 1 exam and 1 quiz. You get a notecard/halfsheet of paper every exam. She is very clear on what to expect on exams. Problems on exams are not complicated (relatively simple/ not many steps). As long as you come to class to take notes, and do enough problems to know what you are doing, the class will be easy. Online work is extra credit.

She's a really nice teacher and really good at math. She explains well but sometimes you can get confused. The one thing I loved was that even though she has an accent, she still enunciates properly while speaking so you can understand everything. The exams start off hard but they get easier and she drops one exam so don't worry too much.

Professor Saad is very good at conveying the material. Calc III is a more difficult subject but your best chance at learning and passing is with her. Her lectures are easy to follow and her exams are straightforward and very fair. She cares a lot about her students and is very nice.

Professor Saad carried us through the online transition due to Covid-19 very well. She does care that her students succeed, but can get frustrated with repeated questions, though I can't say I blame her. If you listen during lecture, ask questions, and go to class, that will be a great start to getting a good grade. Not much group work.

Not sure why others say she gets annoyed by questions? From my own experience Mrs. Saad has been very kind, caring and is willing to answer any questions, and break down problems to help understand them. Only webwork and discussion post each week. No quizzes. 3 exams. She drops the 5 worst webwork grades. Would take her again in a heartbeat.

I really enjoyed Professor Saad's class. I am not good with math and never was, but she was good at clarifying and writing down steps to her processes, and goes along with an online textbook (100% by the way) and uses ample examples. She's also very nice and accommodating if you need it.

She is very thorough with her lectures and she was able to answer any question I had. She gives many extra credit opportunities and you would have to go out of your way to not pass. I recommend showing up to class because it is lecture heavy and you only go through the text with her in class for examples.

I took Professor Saad twice. Once for stats and once for calculus. She's very organized and is good at laying out the process of going through a problem. I have never had issues asking questions or getting good feedback. She's a solid math professor and a sweet lady.

She's also a little strict on your grading when you show your work and the powerpoints she gives might be smudged together and messed up. You do learn a lot, and the webwork homework assignments you have will have a lot of attempts. She gives a discussion board every week, about 4 sections of homework each week, 3 exams, and then one final exam.

Layout is very clear in what she expects. Usually around 3 webworks due every monday and a discussion. She offered 2 EC but for 5 points only. 2 midterms and they are quite easy. She does take points off if the work isnt to her liking. Final exam is as easy as the exams. Similar concepts used but definitely study off textbook review cuz its similar
