Mr. Nasr is a very good professor. He is nice, helpful, and encouraging. Sometimes he says the nerdiest things but he is a funny guy. The class was very easy. I didn't study too much and got an A. The thing that helped me out alot were the reviews he gave before the tests. Do the homeworks! those help too! I recommend him.

The class was very hard, but mr. nasr was a GREAT teacher. very funny and encouraging. always nice and polite. best attitude of any teacher i've had so far. :)

I recommend this teacher. BUT DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. You can by mymathlab online for cheaper. The reviews made the class so easy. EASY AS PIE!

He is a good teacher. If you do the homework you will be fine. The reviews do help out ALOT! I hardly used my textbook. He gives you a week to do homework and I highly recommend him to other students.

Gus was an awesome professor!! I would definitly recommend him to anyone! I got an A. All you really have to do is show up to class and study the review.. the review is exactly like the test! EXACTLY! Gus is also really helpful.. if you have any questions he is always willing to help! If you want an easy A .. take him!

Gus is great at helping those who help themselves. If he sees you in class everyday and gets emails from you, he knows you are trying and does a great job making sure you reach your goals. He almost ALWAYS extends HW deadlines if you ask him to.tests are not that easy, but he gives a helpfull review.a little bit of an accent sometimes

Very good professor. Though he can be hard to understand sometimes due to his accent, he is funny and entertaining. Very helpful if you ask. He does talk fast during lecture though. Do homework and test reviews for easy A!

Cool dude. Homework assignements online are very helpful. No book. He has bad hadnwriting lol. Not a hard class, just take notes and pay attention.

Gus is such a good professor. Has a small accent but you can understand him clearly. Hes also very caring which is nice to have. He even takes the time to send us email reminders to let us know when homework is, quizzes are, and tests are. There are only 3 tests and a final. Very easy. Highly recommended.

Omg, Gus is such a fun professor. He is very helpful and will take the time to answer any questions you have. His accent is a bit thick, but you get use to it. Oh and he actually e-mails you to remind you when homework is due and when the quizzes and tests are.

I recommend this prof, his nice & does lots of examples in class so that everyone gets it. hw is online along with the bk if you want it so class is pretty easy..just makes sure u attend class b/c he kind of takes attendance..but if u need to miss class just email him & his cool with it! I'm taking him again for spring :)

This guy takes the defintion of a cool professor. He makes SURE you get the material and his reviews are really helpful for the tests. Homework is all online and it is hard at times but it is much harder than the tests which he does on purpose so we ACE the class like I did!

I would recommend this teacher!! he is great and understanding if you participate and go to class. is very helpful and tests are the exact same as the review that he hands out and goes over before the test although with number changes. AMAZING teacher! TAKE HIM!

Great professor! Extremely helpful and makes concepts/formulas easy to remember. Best professor for those pursuing sci/eng degrees!

"Gus" is a great math professor because he takes the time to answer all questions and does many examples. Homework is online, and he emails reminders for homework and tests. The reviews are very helpful for each test.

He is really a good teacher if you go up to him one on one, but by first impression you might not like him. He really cares about his students although he might not show it. I promise if you try and show effort he is a great teacher to have!

THE best math teacher in UTSA! So helpful and so willing to teach his students. Breaks down every single problem and makes it so easy to understand. I was not good at math at all and was always worried. Gus made math fun to learn for me.

The teacher is real nice and he makes math fun to learn. Going to class is not mandatory but it will help in the long run. However, even though I got a D+ in the class, I would strongly reccommend him because he will gladly help you as long as you know the material and take good notes.

Amazing teacher! He really cares about your grade and is willing to stay after to answer any questions. Notices if you arent in class but wont say anything rude about it. Amazing teacher, will give you an A if you show youre trying.

Super nice guy. Homework is a very reasonable amount and online. Tests are just like the reviews.

He likes to have fun in his class and enjoys teaching so it makes it a lot easier to pay attention. he likes to get to know the usaul ppl who show up to class. almost no use of book. hw is all online. has no problem stopping to explain any questions. if you try you will easily get an A

Take him, you won't regret it! He gives reviews for the test and goes over them in class. He is always willing to answer questions. He is an excellent professor and its easy to make A's in this class.

Pretty good teacher. Nice guy, and pretty patient. He apriciates commited students who show up to class and may be more willing to help those students. His test are just like his reviews. Definitely a good choice if you need to take this class

This guy was awesome. Always wanted to help and get to know his students better. He really know what he doing and his reviews match his test exactly. Highly recommend!

This guy is awesome. He explains everything clear, math lab homework is easy and his tests too. His tests are his review handouts with different numbers. Definitely take him.

Easy A

Great professor! Approachable and understanding, ask anything and he?s happy to help. The class itself is fairly easy however, if you don?t have a strong algebra back ground practice, the second half gets ?exiting? if you catch my drift. Keep up with the online hw and you should be okay.

Easy A just write down the notes, do the homework on myMAth lab and do the review and you will be fine. He goes over the review the day before a test. Also you don't even need the book

I love this Guy! If I could I would take him every semester! his test are super easy! It looks exactly like the review but with different numbers! No need for textbook he only uses My MathLab...but its very helpful! I loveee this Guy! Trust me you cant go wrong with Nasr!

Best teacher I had this year. Test are just like the review and are only around 20 questions and are really easy.

Go to class everyday and you will be fine! At the end of the semester he opens up all the hw assignments and lets you increase your grade average..if you fail this easy class you must have really done absolutely nothing! Nasr is the best!!

I signed up for him my second semester for MAT 1073 also because he is not hard, he understands why the students are taking the course & wants to help those who have to move up,and pass those who its their last math. He is a nice guy, although speak up in class and get to know him-It will help you a lot if by chance u are struggling

Really helpful guy, let's you text him if you have any questions. Bad handwriting during notes so sit close.

Mr. Nasr is a very nice man. He likes to joke around at times. His lectures were easy to follow. If he knows that you are trying, he will have all the time to help you out. God bless this man. I recommend him. Mr. Nasr is simply the best MAT instructor ever. There will be three exams and a final that is cumlative.

Great professor, easy class. He gives you a review (which is practically the test), and has a review day before the test. Minimal homework, (about 20-30 q's a week) Don't even need the textbook.

pretty good. gives lots of examples in class that come in handy for studying for the test. all homework is online. he gives test reviews that are pretty much exactly the test. he will reluctantly do the test review in class. easily persuaded to push back due dates. really understanding and helpful

Great Teacher!..He likes to joke even though sometimes hes corny. Hes very clear and is willing to help with anything even if he has to stay after class. You really dont need the texbook. you can use the online. If you fail this class you cant blame anyone but yourself. I wish i could take him for pre-cal but his class is full.

I seriously regret that I wasn't allowed to register in time to get into his precalc class because he is a great teacher.

I went into this class thinking it was going to be nothing, and it definitely was really easy at first because it was all algebra! Yet I never did the reviews or read, and that worked out fine, since the HW helped me review enough. I regret that I got lazy when we got into the calc part bc calc was new for me. He drops a test but don't get lazy!

Easy professor, because its algebra. Don't waste your money on the book, you never use it. If you know algebra you can skip all the classes, and just do the homework and show up for tests. The tests are exactly off the reviews and he drops your low grades. Easy A with minimal effort.

very very nice teacher, he makes it easy as possibly. He remember every ones name "we were 130". gives review before each test. my best teacher ever. just go I toke his class twice math 1073 & 1093

I swear by this guy. Math was never my best subject. NEVER. I got an A in MAT1033 and MAT1093 with him as my professor. Very sweet and patient. Makes all math clear and understandable. Happily answers your questions if any. So doable for those who are busy. Good stuff. Easy A. Better take him. Won't regret it!

great teacher. really gets to know his students by name and loves to joke. tests are just like his reviews. I never went to class but still did the homework and mathlab really helps if you don't attend. overall good course and teacher. LOVE HIM!

i took clss for tow time with this proffessor his very helpful, he make you love math, he is have many ways to made it easy, and try to help you to pass the class with good grade, i wish i can take more class with him.

Good professor, very clear, and pretty funny. Makes math easy.

I am the perfect example that you can fail even the easiest classes if you get to comfy. It was not my intention to leave the class at the back of my mind but i did. Im a bio major and focused so hard in my bio that i totaly left this for last minute all the time! i didnt even show up to all of his classes. Anyways hes great but dnt get to comfy

During his lecures Gus can be very confusing at times but his accent is hilarious. If you do not understand a concept in class and still don't understand it when doing mathlab he is more than willing to reteach you In his office hour. By far one of the funniest teachers I've had. The tests are a joke and he gives extra credit via course evaluation.

Great professor. He does have a slight accent but it is manageable. Simple grading system only homework and multiple choice tests. No pop quizzes or anything. Gets students feedback on what days will work for tests and is willing to work with you if you have to miss a test. Only need textbook for MyMathLab code.

I really recommend him. His tests are straight-forward, if you take notes during his classes and go over them. If you do homework, which is easy, you are basically ready for the test. He is a very nice guy also, he tries to remember all of his students' names, and he does, which I think is pretty nice. Wish he taught calc 2 also.

Go to class, take notes, do homework; do these daily, and when preparing for tests, try solving problems on "study plans" on MyMathlab, you'll definitely be ready for the tests. Some calc teachers only gives 3-5 problems on their tests but this guy gives 8-10 so you'll feel less pressured. He does give partial credit, so at least try each problems

great teacher. he expects you to know your stuff. straight to the point and focuses on the concept taught no b/s tricky questions. straight forward tests. go to class pay attention ask questions take notes you'll pass. all tests are free response which benefits you. I multiplied wrong wrong answer, but process was correct, got 1 point taken off.

Provides really good lectures and definitely teaches the material well. However, his tests have some tricky problems which could lead you to think more than usual. Focuses more on algebra and trig than actual calculus. Didn't provide any extra credit opportunity so make sure to make good grades on tests and quizzes! Had 3 tests, quizzes every Frida

Take him! He is the best math teacher I have ever had. Math is difficult in general & anyone who dislikes him doesn't apply themselves. No quizzes. 3 tests with 20 questions. 1 easy project. Final is 30 questions. Homework is due 3-5 days later, and you get endless retakes per question on mymathlab.

People are being too harsh on this professor. If you don't show up to class you're gonna have a tough time passing the tests. He does do a lot of straight out of the textbook stuff in class but if you pay attention on my math lab and listen to what he says, you'll pass. He dropped our lowest test grade to help us out just because he's a nice guy.

Good teacher, but gets annoyed when you don't remember some older things however he does go over it. The quizzes and tests are tough. 3 test worth 20% each. Comprehensive final worth 20 and quizzes and hw worth 10% each. Biggest complaint not knowing what sections were on the test and that the recitations were not helpful.

The work in this class is very simple. Gus can be annoying but has a funny side to him. Just show up to class, do the iclicker questions, turn in preclass work on time and finish your homework early in the week and you'll be fine.

The problem with this class is we had to log hours in a math lab in order to get credit for homeworks and quizzes. Nasr is a good professor and is good at explaining concepts but the fact that we rely so much on the math lab makes the class almost obsolete (meet once a week.) I feel bad for Nasr because we all hate this class but not him.

Only people who are bad at math hate him. I believe Gus is such an amazing professor and is funny and caring. When you ask him questions outside of class or in class he's very helpful. However, the class itself is super hard.

Very thorough in Lecture! As long as you show up and pay attention the material is pretty easy the way he puts it. If you struggle with math I do t recommend him, but if you like math hes good.

If you do your homework on time and get help right when you need it, this class will not be that hard. I recommend not skipping this class because its easier to learn from professor Nasr than by yourself. Im not great at math but I ended up with an A by keeping up and putting in some effort. Lowest test grade is dropped at end of semester.

This review is for those who are good at math. Take notes of his lectures, for they are like the test. He does expect you to already know some BASIC algebra. Hmwk heavy, but hmwk is harder than test. He explained and worked through every problem, and reviewed prior to test. I never had to peek at the book, but DO attend classes. Great professor!

Spring 2020: He has some low ratings, but my experience was positive. He knows the material, and teaches it well, but he does have a passive aggressive attitude. It did not bother me, and so I would recommend him if you have a thicker skin than average because he does know the material. There are 3 exams and 1 final. Lots of homework and quizzes.

I took this class for Summer 2020 which was online. Im generally good at math so his lectures were good to me. Your graded only one homework, 2 tests and a final. The homework can be hard but you can attempt the question 3 times and then request a similar question so I always had As on my homework. You can also find resources to help you. Easy A.

Lectures can be confusing at times. He does expect you to know stuff from college algebras so he wont be spoon feeding steps to a math problem. Which makes sense. Overall good professor

Mr. Nasr is actually a great instructor. He makes a concerted effort to communicate with students, gives one-on-one help if you ask, and keeps the homework content very similar to the exams. Just do the work, ask for help, and you'll be golden. Do remember: he expects College Algebra and Algebra II concepts to be familiar, so brush up early on.

I think the way the course was designed depends on practicing problems a lot, expect to dedicate a day or two per week just to get the concepts down before taking any assignment. Rate of change and derivatives are the heart of this course, generally there are few formulas per chapter. Expect answering basic business questions using Calculus.

HE IS AWESOME!!!! He's super nice and extremely helpful during class. No question is a stupid question to him and he will always help you no matter how behind or stumped you are. I 100% recommend him!

DO NOT SKIP CLASS. Especially if you are not math oriented. The quizzes and Tests are easy. The homework is the hard. He is nice but does expect you to know material from algebra. I would dedicate a couple hours a week for Business Calculus. The topics at the beginning just keeps expanding so stay on top of it. Helps out when you ask for it.

Reading the past comments, I can say he is a bit harsh. He has very high expectations for students attending a uni bc we are here for a reason. This class was v hard, but he does know what he is talking about. I do know that if you are showing to him that you are trying, he can help you out. He does not bother to waste his time on ppl who dont.

A really good mathematics professor. Grades fairly and is kind. However, he expects everyone to be good at math, so if you aren't, then this class isn't for you. Helpful outside of class too. He often told us how he failed math and became a math professor, encouraging us to do math well. 100% recommend him.

This professor is amazing and really cares about his students. I've always struggled with math and thought I'd never pass, but he helped me so much! Take advantage of his office hours and test retakes. He's dedicated and will do everything he can to help you succeed if you put in the effort. Make sure to talk to him if you are struggling.

He expects you to try. If you show up to classes and pay attention in lectures he's great. Doesn't ask for a lot of work or homework either. All assignments were very simple and easy. I've only seen him have issues with people who never show up and then ask for credit. Also his accent is not an issue. He speaks very clear English.
