Hamza is the best teacher on the planet. He makes sure you understand the lectures, gives extra points for homework, and flexible giving exams and quizzes. He loves math and teaching those who want to learn.

Hamza was great, you get extra points for homework, he is very clear and helps explain everything, if you work hard you will get a good grade.

At first i was scared about him because his accent is pretty thick but you get used to it and his teaching skills and fair grading more than make up for it. Took this class in summer school and still did well

Not a bad teacher. His accent takes some getting used to but it's really not that thick. Tests are based on homework so you have to do it if you want to be prepared. Easy enough for me and I hate math!! He's really not as bad as the others are saying.

A great teacher! Has plenty of jokes but very rarely lets you out early and will clown when late! All in all a good guy!

Must do all homework. Gives quizes every two weeks. Test are based on lectures.

I am taking prof. Hamza right now. He is not bad, but i wish he would explain problems better, sometimes he just gives the formula. He gives a lot of examples. Tests are based on homework. He is very helpful and always answers questions.

took Hamza for Math 190. He's the first math Prof actually has a sense of humor. He breaks everything down. Do ALL the hw cause those 5 pts will catch up to you! And make sure you learn all those stupid word problems they'll show up more than once for sure. Overall he's pretty approachable. Not too hard. I got a B & that says a lot! :)

He's helpful and will tell you when there is going a quiz. He will also give an extra quiz to bring a bad grade on the test and will also give some extra credit.

I am currently taking his class(math190). I don't know why there are some people say his course is difficult. Although many of my classmates get B, C and D, I think I can get an 'A' easily from the beginning to the end. Now, the coarse is finished by half. I am still at 95% of all assigned materials. I think he is the best professor in Math.

He is the best Math professor I have seen. He explains well. He states all of our silly mistakes and tells us to avoid those mistakes. Just understand the homework questions and the example in lecture and you can get 'A' easily. In a test/exam, if your mistake is not conceptual mistake, he will NOT mark it worng. Take him and you can have fun and A

Really good teacher!! Strongly recommend!! He will not pick out ur small/minor errors and his test is not hard.

Hamza is a really good teacher. You have to do the work but he is helpful at explaining things. Sometimes his accent is a little difficult to understand but his powerpoint slides are clear and easy to understand.

The best math professor I have had at Elco. Powerpoints are very organized and easy to follow! I took Hamza during the Summer 11'. I dislike math but I worked really hard in his class. I missed a week (including a test) and still managed to get an A. You MUST put forth effort though.

Great Teacher. :) uses powerpoints, provides a lot of examples that help with homework and exams. He speaks with an accent but its not too heavy to make things unclear. Funny guy too, will joke around. Just do your homework and study the material everyday and everything should be fine.

I don't know what some students are complaining about. I think he gives very clear straight forward lectures. I need a structured, organized methodical proff and this is what he is. Practice is mandatory in a subject like mathematics and performance is dependent on it. Usually I can't follow along in class but with this proff I do each time.

Loved this professor! I never had to read one chapter in the book while in this class. He used Power Point presentation slides. Always came to class well-prepared. Explained concepts clearly and had us do problems in class. I learned so much from this teacher. Will definitely take him again.

OMG! I could not believe some of the reviews on this professor. He is AWESOME! With a PhD in Mathematics, he knows his stuff. I once believed that math was just not my subject, but he changed all of that. He is really thorough to the point some people become annoyed. Just show up everyday and take notes. I passed with an A and you can too!

if you are not so good in math, but you want to learn, take his class. He was very helpful, although i hated his power point lectures. he expects you to do your homework online, AND write the homework on a notebook. i highly recommend showing up every class and take notes all the time.

He is very helpful when it comes to students not fully understanding certain sections. He explains thoroughly and explains all of the formulas needed to be memorized. Although he doesn't review throughout the semester, for the final he takes all the time needed to prepare students. He is strict on attendance and on homework.

Great teacher once you get over his accent. lectures are structured well and his tests are based off homework and class examples. As long as you understand the concepts you should do well.No graphing Calc by the way.

he is truly an awesome teacher-very understanding, friendly, approachable, and helpful ! a little accent but his teaching is very clear and organized - I took the hybrid class so I went in once a week and he never has any surprise questions on the test you always know what to expect and he is always willing to clarify any questions!

so good!!! RECOMMEND. I do not like math. however, he totally changed my perception. Online hw and online quizzes. just take notes and study and youll do fine. hes great! WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN!!

Decent teacher, I took Calc in high school but my teacher sucked. Ok classes after you get over his accent. Texts/quizzes are based on concepts which are mostly on hw. All hw is online which can take forever. This class is good if you like to do your hw ahead of time and you're self motivated.

Great teacher, he is willing to help and has a good attitude. But his accent is pretty hard to understand. To Get an A on this class, u just need to do the homework and practice on what he said in class room

He is a great professor. I've taken this class before with a diff. professor and didn't do well... I understand the material well with him and he breaks it down easily. If you do the homework and know the material, you can pass easily. Never have I ever been so enthusiastic about math ha!

He has an accent, but you'll get over it soon. His homework assignments are online and they take at least a hour to finish. Doing excellent in hw is a significant factor, since his tests and quizzes are similar to the hw. He lectures are power points, but he uses the board to explain in further detail.

Was a great teacher. Only problem was a little bit of an accent but really broke things down clearly and had no problem repeating what he said. Tries various strategies and techniques for you to get equations. Not picky about which one you use either as long as you get the right answer. Do online hw as it will help on tests. He's straightforward.

He has accent, but you will be able to understand him. He prepares before class, organizes great notes, has very nice hand writing. I really enjoy in his class, he gives enough time for all students to take notes. Easy class, if you really learn in class. He gives online HWs, I didn't even do them, and I passed with A !!

He's funny, asks questions to make sure everyone understands. He also lets you know of opportunities on campus that can give you extra help. He goes around in class to check how everybody is doing their work in class. He's funny and make sit easy to participate in class.

One of the best instructors in California, I've had 8, and he's easily in my top 2. That in-class works he gives and goes around to see how you're doing, and encourages you, love that. When you set up a problem and is about time to take the derivative, he asks the class "and then.." everyone says derivative, he follows "you take the derivative!" :)

4 quizzes/3 tests/1 final/Webassign Homework Syllabus says that you have 4 quizzes, but you get more than 4 and then he will drop the lowest quiz. So, DONT MISS QUIZZES! Tests are fairly easy if you do the homework (webassign). Final test replaces the lowest test. He is very friendly. Put at least 1.5 hour everyday and you will get "A"

Fantastic guy, if you put in the work you will see results. Don't expect to get good grades if you don't plan on studying the homework and coming to class. Will drop the lowest test and replace with the score of the final, test are all homework and notes questions. Participation is voluntary but will only help you he is a friendly guy.

His class is really easy. I did not take math for about 2 years and when I went back to take his class it was not difficult. he will help and answer all your questions during lecture. He explains really clear and makes it fun for you to understand. If you haven't take math in a while this is your guy. Easy A if you study, easy test and quizzes.

Good lectures, pretty heavy on example problems. Very funny and nice professor, willing to help if you're stuck. Tests are moderately difficult. Be sure to study well for them and do all the homework.

Tells you exactly what you need to do to pass. Moves efficiently through chapters, so don't miss class or you will be lost. Offers help if you need it. Clear understanding of how to do problems. Online homework assignments will sneak up on you and there are a lot of them so check regularly. The homework will take a few hours to complete.

Professor Hamza is NOT for everyone. He gives a lot of homework on webassign and his tests sometimes have really obscure questions. However, he is one of the few math professors that I could really understand (I have taken him twice). His lectures are fast paced but you can tell that he is very passionate about math. Wish class werent so early tho.

Professor Hamza is a great professor. His lectures are very clear and he provides examples that truly make you understand the material. His lectures force you to participate in class by having you work on examples before he shows you how to do the problems. He is extremely helpful and will go back to the basics if you are confused.

Honestly I cant speak for everyone's experience but i thought his class was super straight forward. You have to do hw but its whatever cause the test questions are very similar to the hw. I'd recommend this class if you are decent at math because you should be fine.

Professor Hamza is a really good teacher, and really cares about teaching. Before the pandemic, in class, he'd always reach out to the students that were having a hard time. Even during the pandemic, he made himself accessible for those that needed the extra help. Calculus is a tough class and requires a lot of work no matter what

He's a good professor. Grades are mainly based off tests but they're similar to his lecture/hw questions. Just prepare by actually doing the hw. I don't get the students who fail this class lol. Just be better jajajaja.

Prof Hamza was really nice when I took his class in the winter session. It was kinda hard to carry along at first but he slowed down having that we couldn't take part even though it was gonna cost him more work. I am really not a homework person and i missed so much homework but he was kind to everyone because it was a very fast semester.Great guy!

Dr. Hamza was very nice and his class wasn't as difficult as all these other reviews. Due to his heavy accent and the way he lectures, understanding concepts can be tricky but it's totally possible with some extra work. Grade is mainly based on the exams but if you spend some time outside of class understanding concepts, this class isn't hard!

Solid Professor and doesn't deserve all the negative reviews. Don't be scared to ask for help as he genuinely wants you to understand. Very lenient with test grading and will still give you partial points for wrong answers. You are also allowed a cheatsheet and be ready with a scientific calculator as graphing calcs arent allowed on tests.

Bro is actually the most goated math professor I've ever had, dude may have a thick accent but anyone saying he is hard or tough is a terrible student and never listened to him in class. Dude literally sets you up for success with the lecture notes that he gives you, the homework on webassign is always harder than any test or quiz. Goated.

Hamza's MATH190 is challenging but rewarding. Doing the homework and attending lectures is key. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for practice and review - highly recommend it alongside the textbook.

Extremely work heavy course. Procrastinating and skipping class could be your downfall in his class but if you're on top of everything, you should be just fine. Homework is normally harder than quizzes/exams so they set you up pretty well when it's time to take tests. His lectures can be followed pretty easily as well. Very solid professor!
