He wastes so much time waiting for students to tell him how to solve the problem just so he can tell them they are wrong, and then expects you to know everything already. I'm there to learn, if I knew it already I wouldn't be taking the class. I have an associates degree from Delta and this is the first rating i've felt needed to be done.

Habib is one of the worst teachers I've had. He wastes time waiting for students to answer questions that they don't know. Don't ask him questions unless you would like him to make you feel like an idiot. I do not recommend this teacher unless you 100% know what you're doing in the class.

If your looking for an instructor that will help you understand the concepts and not just understanding formulas I would take him. If you are looking for an easy A do not take him find someone else. If you are going into a math heavy field take his class. He is a crack up though and gives an entertaining lecture. Take heavy notes also.

I learned a lot of thing from Habib. His "no make-ups, no excuses" is exactly like work. If you need higher math, I HIGHLY recommend him. He wants to see your work-your thought process-so he knows that you know WHY(w/o calculator). If you do your h/w(not checked) you will get an A; tests match the hw!He has awful humor, don't take it personally.

AMAZING teacher. Because of him, I switched my major to mathematics. Habib expects you to think, and does not "spoon-feed" material, which some students are unaccustomed to, but when you approach him with a genuine question (not just "what's the answer to this homework problem,"), he will do anything within his power to help you. I recommend him.

Habib is an excellent professor at teaching the material, You will definitely learn the math well, there is no question about that.However, his grading policy is lackluster. You can get everything on a quiz right and yet fail it because you did not do it the way "he taught". He is highly hypocritical and over uses quizzes to obtain your grade.

If you're going for a class based on easiness, this depends on you. The effort you put toward his class is the effort he puts toward you. The things he teaches are based off things you already should know and if not you should brush up. If you show that you are trying your hardest and doing the work he suggests he will help you. He doesn't give you a pattern to follow to solve equations, instead he wants you to learn about them for future courses. He is a fantastic professor.

Habib is a great professor. His teaches material, suggests homework you should do to study for the daily quiz.
