Easiest class you will ever take. Best part was that since it was a 9am class, it was enjoyable to have in the morning. Tests are easy. Room for extra credit.
This professor is amazing. He may not speak very good english, but his way of teaching style is very easy to understand. And I have a good feeling that he knows what he is doing. As long as you do your part as the student which is come to class and do the homework you will be in good shape.
Professor Mahdy gave me a beautiful view of Math. I love math, and I even love math more after taking his class. I go to class everyday , and so excited with all his lessons. I think he is the best in the math department. Assigns problems from the book so people can practice.
I love his class
He is a super good teacher, teach everything about MATH! he knows everything. He makes math just so easy. He is my best math teacher ever. Take him, you will love math as me
Absolutely amazing teacher, great lectures, allows student input and interaction and he cares! I would definitely recommend him especially if you are not strong in Math!
I love this professor. I took him for my 0409 class, and am now signed up for the 1314 class with him as well. He explains how and why things are done in math and understands how students could get confused, but teaches in way to redirect your brain. His grading is fair and he cares that students are learning and understanding the material.
Prof Mahdy is a great teacher and I would take his class again. He explains slowly and students have the chance to ask questions. He does reviews for every test.
Great teacher. If your late to class, don't do homework or study, you will probably fail: such is life. This guy makes math fun, and is a real teacher. So do the work and you will get the grade you earn.
Very helpful teacher for help outside of class aid. Will help no matter how little time left. Easy to understand. Takes detailed notes when studying, so that you have something to study off of later.
he is very good prof. he has many different ways than book . do your homework on time(day by day). you will be OK.
He taught me pre-calculus . He is not an easy go professor. His methods are unique. He gives lots of homework and hard tests that break your back and unduly stress you. But you gain sound, indelible knowledge and study discipline. Follow his regime and you will excel. I had poor math background, but now I compete with the best in my Calculus class.
He is very intelligent. He knows what he teaches, which is different from most teachers. He was really eager to teach and tried hard to let students know what he was teaching. It is worthwhile taking his class if a student wants to learn.
Prof. Mahdy teaches very well and did not hesitate to give us examples and different ways to get the answers. Many of us had problems understanding certain math problems, but Prof. Mahdy was patient and made sure we got it. I took him for 4 weeks this semester.
It's not an easy A class. I took him for Math 106. he is absolutely clear about his exams and assignments. take the notes and examples he gives you in class and you should be fine in every exam. i would say that the final was a bit hard but if you do the Homework and ace the other exams, you would end up with an A or B grade.
He's helpful and always there if you need him. Tests are not hard, just do reviews and homework. Still, math is hard so you need to put effort. Our class was little rush. Will take him again.
He was not clear on directions and he did not explain the work and since I have a learning disability it was harder on me to do well in the class.
This class is just pretty tough (especially during a mini session). The professor is pretty inflexible, but his class is very well organized and his expectations are very clear. Do all of your homework; it will save your grade. I would take his class again, but be ready to work!
I do not understand his way of teaching.
This instructor will only help you out if you put your effort into this course. There are 2 exams and he gives you a study guide to prepare for each exam. If you struggle with math watch youtube videos and go to tutoring. If you are an ADA student I would recommend this instructor.
Awesome professor! As a person who is not fond of math, he made math fun! He never wastes time. He is also very kind and genuinely cares about his students succeeding. TAKE HIM!
I have been failing math for a long time, but Professor Mahdy has been the best professor. He will make sure that you understand the material. The key to pass his class is homework. TAKE HIM !!!! You won't regret.
If you don't mind taking notes the whole lecture, go for it! Trust me you will actually learn in this class. Tests are easy if you pay attention in class, and go over your notes. A Phenomenal teacher when it comes to knowledge.
One of the best teachers I've had. He is very patient and understanding to your needs. he gives you the opportunity to make up missed test and gives constructive feedback if you are willing to learn and understand the material. If you take Math 1314, look up Prof. Mahdy awesome dude!!
He is a really nice professor. teaching is clear. tests are easy, gives chance to get some extra credits. I got B from him. He relates your material to some carriers, very helpful. Highly recommend .
Great teacher. Gives 3 exams. Homework score will help if you are making D's to pass the class. Gives 5 points on overall grade if perfect attendance. Does review in class. The only math class I didn't feel lost in. Math isn't my strongest subject but I pass with no problems.
Do not like way of teaching
Horrible teaching style. He teaches from a book that is not sold at the campus bookstore. He teaching style is very hard. He expects you to know everthying. I have never had any difficulties with math but this teacher is just plain awful. But I would highly recommend you not to take this professor if you are not good with math, he is awful
I have always got the hang of math and after taking this class it took me even longer to do the work. And the text book he uses is not even the schools bookstore.
Mr. Mahdy is a great professor; He goes out of his way to help you if you ask. If you study and do all the assignments you will definitely end up with an A or a B.
Professor Mahdy does whatever takes to help his students understand the material. Must take him if you have difficulty with understanding the algebra.
He is an awesome teacher! he replaces your lowest test grade by your highest. tests are not multiple choice. if you're lucky he might give you a take home exam. I learned a lot from him and he is the reason why I love math so much.
Mr Mahdy is a very awesome instructor with a wonderful spirit. His lectures are great and to the point. He will also break them down to help you understand it more. I recommend everyone to take his class. He doesn't require MyMathLab but you will need your book for this class. Very helpful and an awesome guy
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely suck at math and I actually made B when I took him. VERY CLEAR & understanding. Ask questions if you don't understand & he will BRAKE it down! He is very sweet, and funny to say the least. TAKE HIM if you need to pass ;)))
I'm not very good with math and this teacher made it Worst. He uses a book you can not even get in the bookstore. I would not recommend taking this teacher.
Not a good professor
Great Professor! A student complained that the book isnt sold at the campus store. I bought it on Amazon for6$. I would much rather pay 6$ than over $100 at the bookstore. Prof Mahdy very much looks out for his students
He's a very good teacher and I passed the class on first try
He gives you a lots of credit for turning in homework which is an easy way to raise your grade. Reviews for every tests which he lays outs all the types of problems that will be on the tests. Very clear on expectations.
I would recommend this professor for Math 106. He's strict on no eating/phones in class but he's very clear and gives lots of time to ask questions if needed.
Awesome teacher It was a fun class.
He's awesome!! He gave us thirds test take home !
I would not retake this class. I would ask for help and he would not help
He's awesome !!
Awesome teacher!!!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
GREAT TEACHER!!!
AWESOME!!!
Great teacher who LOVES CHICKEN 65!!! (Indian dish)
I sucked at math... but that was before I had Mr. Mahdy as my teacher!!!
He is really cool
Profressor HAny takes his take to explain his lectures. He is a great profressor, explains his lessons and will give you time to do the work.
Professor Hany is a great profressor. He takes his time to explain the problems to you. I would recommend you taking this 0314 class.
Professor Hany is a great profressor. He takes his time and makes sure that you understand the math problems. He gets back with you in a timely manner with emails and texts.
Profressor Hany is an excellent professor. He pretty much break down the problems so you can have a better understanding. I rate this professor a 5
Excellent profressor !
Profressor Hany does a great job in teaching .
BEWARE OF THE LONG LECTURES AND DIFFICULT TESTS
he's a great teacher. NOT for me. Math is not my strongest subject. I would recommend if you are already great in math, I would NOT recommend otherwise.
BEWARE OF THE HOMEWORK. THERES TIMES WHERE HE JUST GIVE THE HOMEWORK AND EXPECTS YOU TO COMPLETE BY A CERTAIN DATE. HE ALSO USES A BOOK YOU CAN NOT BUY FROM THE SCHOOLS BOOKSTORE
Great class and easy to understand. Sets very clear expectations and is consistent in the teaching style.
this professor gave me a good understanding of Algebra and I'm ready to move to the next class. I hope he's teaching next semester so I can take him again for a higher level math class.
Prof Mahdy's class was fairly easy. He gave the third test as take home test and it was easy to make an A. Would recommend
Excellent Professor !! Take him !!
he's a great teacher. Math is not my strongest subject. I would recommend him.
Great class! I'm still waiting for my final grade but I definitely have an A so far.
Hard class but I felt accomplished after it ended
Definitely knows his stuff and you can tell he cares about the students and their improvement.
Very professional teacher and can communicate with students on different levels to make sure everyone understands
Very good professor
I was left very satisfied with this professor. Any question I had he answered. I would definitely recommend him.
I am not very good in math, but this professor really helped me understand all of the concepts I needed to know to excel in the class. He explains things very clearly. I would highly recommend him
This teacher is explains things very well but expects a lot from you
Mr. Mahdy is a pretty good teacher.
He is great. I enjoyed his class.
The best teacher I ever had !!
I loved his class.
Mr. Mahdy makes math easy.
Mr. Mahdy is my favorite teacher of all time!!!
Great professor, he helped me gain more knowledge about the subject i needed help in.
With his concise and clear explanations, I was able to understand the subject matter with more clarity; confusion is cleared, and knowledge is gained.
Mr. Mahdy made the class easy for me.
On the first day, the class made lots of progress because Mr. Mahdy taught lots of things in an easy way so that we could understand them . For example, we discussed solutions, but only verification so that we could understand them.
Amazing professor. I love his class.
Mr. Hany is the pure definition of leader (as put by the Ted Talk- How to spot a leader through their handwriting by Jamie Cohen). His sharp, crisp letters indicate a very analytical and logical way of thought, and the loops under and above his letters dictate a very creative mind and utilization of creativity to solve problems.
I was failing until Mr Hany started teaching me.
Excellent professor . I learn something new every class.
I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MATH AND THIS PROFESSOR JUST MADE IT WORST. AND I WOULD ASK FOR HELP AND HE WOULD JUST LOOK AND KEEP DOING WHAT HE IS DOING. ONE OF THE WORST PROFESSORS I HAD SINCE STARTING AT HCC
This proffesor helped me get better at mathematics. Without his help I would have failed.
He is very diligent, and carefully solves every problem we have. With him as a teacher, I feel more confident in the work I do.
He's a very excellent and prepared teacher. He works through a problem until I comprehend the material.
I had trouble focusing in class, but through his help I was able to adeptly pay attention, as well as analyze and critically think.
Professor Mahty is one of the best professors i have had. He makes you work for the grade and i am grateful for his help. Without him i surely would have failed.
HE IS A BAD PROFESSOR BECAUSE SINCE IM HORRIBLE IN MATH HE JUST MADE IT WORSE. I TRIED ASKING FOR HELP BUT HE WOULD JUST IGNORE YOU HE HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE. HE JUST CARES ABOUT TEACHING THE CLASS AND JUST LEAVING. AND HE IS ALSO NOT ACCESSIBLE OUTSIDE OF CLASS.
He's a great professor, you should always be on time and attend the lectures. He answers questions very clearly and he will help you out. I would strongly recommend him, you will be able to get an A if you study and actually do the HWs and the extra credits.
He's okay at teaching math. Although, he is rude and judges you when you get a question wrong. He assigns SO MUCH homework and it's only worth like 10% of your grade COLLECTIVELY. If he had a better attitude and left less homework he would be a good teacher.
Excellent professor. Test was easy !
Mr. Mahdy's class is really difficult, but his lecturing makes up for it. He makes this class a breeze. I also liked that he wants his students to succeed. For example, today we took a test over Graphing Trig Functions. I was nervous because trig is my weakness. But, because of the good lectures he gives I was able to remember the problems.
EXCELLENT TEACHER!!
Great professor! Very clear lectures and test questions. This is the second class I've taken with this professor and didn't have troubles with either class.
He is a very good teacher. His teaching methods are clear and comprehensible. He's a bit insensitive.
Professor Mahdy is the best maths professor I have ever had the privilege to learn under. He explains concepts exceedingly well, he treats his students with respect, and you can tell he loves what he does. Highly recommendable professor.
Mr. Madhy is a great professor. Unlike other teachers, he even allows his students to check and fix the mistakes that we make on our tests.
Excellent Professor !! Gives extra credit !!
He's a very smart intellectual. He's thoughts are profound and clear.
He has the patience the do things until we understand it. His lectures are comprehensible. His methods shows great intellect
Profesor Mahdy is the best Profesor I have ever met in HCC. His classes are very easy to understand, and are easily passable as long as you try.
I am taking Mr. Mahdy class currently . Most of the rating seems Self rating to me . He knows math, but he is not good at helping students learning .
Excellent professor! I learned a lot from him!
Professor Mahdy's class is extremely hard, but the way he explains the material makes it relatively easier.
Great class with group work. Prof Mahdy gives very clear instructions and knows his stuff.
Professor Mahdy's class is the hardest most difficult mathematics class that I have ever taken, in my life. But thanks to Professor Mahdy's help, his class is also my all-time favorite class that I have ever taken, in my life.
Professor Mahdy is the best Professor that I have ever had and my favorite Professor of all time.
Professor Mahdy is the GOAT!!!
Professor Mahdy's lectures are amazing!
Professor Mahdy not only knows mathematics, he also knows how to teach mathematics to (his) students.
The Professor at the very prestigious school that I attend, is the very best guy that I have ever met and known in my whole entire life.
EXTRA CREDIT!!!
He really cares about his student and he is always willing to help whenever the students need him.
Profesor Mahdy saved my math studies. I was struggling to pass my math courses even though I tried so hard to pass. Then, when I came to Professor Mahdy's class, he helped me clear any and all doubts I had. I highly recommend him.
Professor Mahdy was very helpful.
Very organized class. Professor Mahdy gives clear reviews for every test so you know what to expect. You definitely have to study for the class but you learn a lot.
The class is very hard but he is very diligent teacher, and carefully solves every problem we have. With him as a teacher, I feel more confident in the work I do.
The professor will try to help his students the best that he can, he knows the material but a lot of work is required to pass.
The professor is strict , but he teaches what you need to know for the course. If you do your work on time, participate in class, and ask questions, the tests will be easier for you. Come to class prepared and ready to learn. He doesn't waste time during class.
The professor is very vague when it comes to giving examples, needs to explain the concept more, however he manages to teach what you need to know.
Great professor, class is very difficult if you are to miss even one. Tests are a challenge, as well as the homework, so you must be prepared for a tough math class.
Great Professor but expect to do the homework and study. He knows the subject very well. He let us do corrections on the 2nd test to earn more points. You get 100% credit for homework so its an easy grade as long as you do the assignments.
be prepared for homework and studying. Its not an easy class or subject. I feel prepared to transfer to university now after completing Prof Mahdys class. He is one of the better professors I have had at HCC.
He lectures by pulling questions from the book, and breaking them down in a manner where the student understands it. He tries to make sure the student is able to understand the work before moving on the the next lesson. Overall very respectful.
The teacher uses the book to help students understand the different materials that would be covered on the next exam. He goes through all the practice examples so that when the students do their homework they would understand how to get the answers by themselves.
Professor Mahdy is a great professor who teaches the material well, but be prepared to work in his class. He gives an above average amount of homework, but it helps out in the end because it prepares you for the exams. Attendance is mandatory in order to be there for the lectures, which help understand the material better. Overall, relatively easy.
Professors class is very good and well taught. Do not ever miss a day. You will miss like a whole lesson if you do and be clueless on your next class. Great class overall. Expect a lil of stress.
He's a tough grader but goes through the material quickly and concisely.
Lots of homeowrk. Never miss a day of class well. First test was not graded heavily, but others are. Study everyday.
The class is a tough subject. You need to be well prepared to work in class since he is only going to give you examples and you have to work them out. He gives a ton of homework, but all that work is useful for the test.
Don't miss class to avoid falling behind. Explains topics thoroughly using examples from the textbook.
