can't understand, does not help at all.

Didn't understanding a thing he was saying!

Get's very confused well lecturing hard grader marks every little mistake wrong than can't figure out why no one is doing good in his class.

Worst professor ever.

Very bad teacher!! Don't learn a thing and he don't care. Always makes mistakes when doing problems but don't give no slack if you do. Does not like to answer any questions!

He does not know how to teach. The only reason I passed his class is that I already knew most of the material and had my notes from high school. Stay far away from any class he teaches.

i found his class very hard for the simple reason that half the time you can't understand him. if you ask a question, i found that he talks himself in circles and never really answers your question. i foud myself afraid to ask him questions.

AVOID HIM !!!

This professor is very hard to understand. He's from the middle east, nothing against that, but he has a really bad accent. If you ask him questions, he does talk in circles, or just states that it is understood and refuses to answer you.

Horrible. He told me to my face he wouldn't help me with homework, along with a few other students. He's an absolute jerk. The whole class answered the same way on an exam question and he refused to drop the question or explain it. Aweful!

To those people who said he was easy and helpful...I envy you. This man didn't help my class at all. One has to strain to understand him and he is more quick to accuse individuals of cheating than to help them understand what they're doing. Once a straight-A student, I nearly failed his class.

prof. halees is by far the worst prof i have ever had. Good luck passing this on folks...

He's a horrible teacher!I've always been a straight A student in Math and took Calc in High School.I got in to his class and was incredible lost.He would spend an entire hour on one problem that everyone understood and then test you on completly different material.He wasn't worth asking help from.

I have never been a person to complain, but this man is rediculously aweful! I was a straight A student, before him. He made me cry and always shot the class down, making us feel like we were idiots. he didn't know the material and could never help during his office hours. He would always ask to see my answer manual. He is a horrible teacher

This man cannot speak english and refuses to correct himself when he misspeaks. He refuses to help students when they ask. He doesn't cover all of the material on test and then gets mad at the students for not knowing it. He talks down to his students and makes the entire class feel bad about themselves. Do Not Take His Class If You Can Help It!

He is the worst math teacher that I have ever had!

The guy cant speak enlgish very well. Difficult to understand what hes saying. I think he means well he just doesnt know how to help individually. Doesnt go over tests well. Grades difficult.

He is the worst teacher ever. I dont think there is any other teacher in this university who is that rude. I would ask everybody to not to take him.

you have seen the other ratings... all true. all i can say is that if you have to either take him or delay your graduation...unless you are really good at math definately go with the latter.

for me he was very hard to understand, he doesnt know how to pronounce alot of word. eg person= % and "suck-less"= success. He also makes you feel like an idiot when you ask questions and only sometimes he will answer what you ask, (if he understands what your asking). He also reads out of the book when behind, instead of doing examples.

The absolute rock-bottom worst college professor I've ever had. He once delayed class for about 5 minutes to ask people how to pronounce the word catapult ("karrapar"). One exam I had all the correct answers but didn't show my work how he wanted me to, so he failed me. Had to withdraw/pass at the last minute & wasted my $$. Got my A at Delta

idiot dosent know what hes doing, can hardly undertstand him, says 2 and writes 5, makes a lot of mistakes. i feel like i understand the material that hes trying to teach better than he does from me learning it in high school

I am not even talking about calculus or basic algebra, I am taking advance math classes and found it appalling that they allow him to teach. When an entire class of advanced math students does not understand you, most teachers would question themselves and wonder why. He is arrogant and might know math but that does not make him a teacher!

Worst teacher ever. Try taking tallys of how many times he says "right" in class, you will be amused.

I would highly recommend NOT taking this professor. He is to difficult to understand not only with his accent but how he presents the material. He is rude and disrespectful to his students and makes you feel that you are incompetent if you do not understand a certain concept. His tests are nothing like he says they are. IT'S A JOKE!

SVSU is on academic probation in the math department, this man is one of the reasons. Do not take him. He is arrogant, nasty and does not care about the students.

He's horrible. I've never had such a frustrating teacher. He gets mad when you ask questions because he "doesn't have time to lecture and answer questions".... REALLY?! He's very hard to understand (beyond the accent... it's a given with SVSU math.) He tells you one thing, but means another. He makes a lot of mistakes. DO NOT TAKE!

Probably the worst teacher I have ever had, after 130+ credits. Bad in every way! Take him if you want your GPA to tank. He shouldn't be even teaching the class I took. Poor explanations, poor teaching style, barely speaks English. My engineering advisor even told me he is on an informal "do not take list". SVSU staff even knows how bad he is.

Horrible professor. Hard to understand and does not care about students and their grades. Should not have a job and he makes quizzes and tests all hard. Would not even consider taking him, hes awful

Never take him. He never answer you questions. His grading scale is horrible.

Easily the worst professor. While it's clear he has passion for the material, he often gets confused, gives out the wrong information, and is very difficult to understand. His tests are poorly written and confusing. I learned more from copying from the book than from him. If you must take him, show up but copy from the book instead from him.

Horrible lecturer. Always stopping and restarting.

Getting extra credit for coming to class is the only positive thing about having him as a teacher. You can not understand a word he says and he does not even teach very well. Make him a last choice for a professor!

I truly cannot fit my description of how bad this teacher is in the 350 characters available. I am 4 days away from my final and I still don't know what my grade in the class is because he does not post them. 25 kids showed up for the 1st day of class and now there are only 7 of us. I highly recommend this class if you enjoy high levels of stress.

Hasan is a terrible calculus teacher. He teachers the class in a very choppy unorthodox fashion. While in his class, the math dept. was put on probation because of the amount of people that were failing his class. Hes rude when you ask questions. Also, you can only understand him about 60% of the time. Constantly makes mistakes on the board as well

If you don't already have a clear understanding of math then don't take his classes. He is very hard to follow during lecture, he often shows ways to do something and then proceeds to tell you that it's not how you should do it. He likes it when you ask questions, but never understands what is being asked. His accent is also hard to understand.

What can I say about professor halees, first he is rude to all students. Secondly he is very confusing because halfway through a problem he'll realize he messed it up. we had 22+ kids in our class to start and now we have 8 because so many people wouldn't put up with his attitude and poor teaching skills. Stay away if possible. Terrible expirence.

Hasan is the worst math professor Ive ever had. The material in the course wasnt horribly difficult, but if it had been it would have been difficult to pass. He grades tests very hard and if you dont do it exactly how he wants it, expect several points taken off. Lectures were either very slow (barely covering a section in a day) or too fast.

This prof is the WORST I've ever had. final exam was NOTHING like the review sheet! half the time he doesn't even write notes on the board, instead he has worked out problems on a sheet of paper that he just shows under the projector but its impossible to copy down in your notes because he goes over them so fast. tough grader, no partial credit.

Although Hasan is extremely passionate about math, he is often rude to students, and his thick accent can make it difficult to learn effectively. Furthermore, he is an EXTREMELY tough grader, often docking points for nit-picky details. One positive, however, is that he offers a good deal of extra credit, given you show up to class every session.

At first he is hard to understand, but eventually you will get used to it. Unfortunately, he has a very hard time understanding students' questions and often times does not answer them correctly because he didn't understand the question. The tests/quizzes are quite hard. He is not reliable for help outside of class. Attendance extra credit :)

WORST TEACHER I HAVE HAD HERE. Doesn't understand when you ask him questions. the only way you'll get points backs if you cry. he is very rude and is very tough with grading. Quizzes are nothing like exams. Attendance is extra credit but if you miss class you'll fail.

skip this professor you won't pass. I have spend 6 hour every weekend in library to pass this class. I made it with C.

Took calculus in high school received a B- . Good Luck Passing if he's your professor lol. Odds are you won't be able to understand him, and the quizzes are completely a hoax.

Guy is the worst; he springs homework on you the night before it's due and demands it be done for credit, he is extremely unclear on his expectations, he calls out students for using the restroom during lecture (which is a straight hour+ of him belaboring simple points), and he tells us to do certain things but then might hold it against our grade.

This is the worst experience I have ever had with a teacher. This man is not only ridiculously tough on the way he grades the examshe marked several problems wrong that were not in fact wrong -double checked that with other instructors-, and he refuses to admit error on his part. Please save yourself the trouble of having to drop a class

Hasan is hands down the worst professor I have had at SVSU. Lectures consist of copying word-for-word statements from the book, rude comments, and confusing examples. Most examples are from an outdated version of the book. Hasan is a prime example of why I regret coming to SVSU for a Math degree. Avoid if possible.

WORST Professor. Avoid at all costs. Waste your time, literally. Says you'll have a quiz next class, next class comes and you studied for nothing bc he forgets he even said there was a quiz! Assigns Hw at 8pm the night b4 it's due! Doesnt show all work on board but EXPECTS you to show all work on quizzes/tests. Spend money on a better professor!

He is the worst professor I have had at SVSU. He is hard to understand. If you try to go to him for help, he will make you even more confused and act like you are stupid for not knowing the answer.

Bring a pillow to this class because you will not understand anything that comes out of his mouth. If you are on your phone, oh boy, he will spend 20 mins insulting you in front of everyone but you will still not understand anything that comes out of his mouth. I learned only one thing in the class that is there were 29 chairs in his class.

Along with all of the math department, Professor Al-Halees is one of the worst math professors here. When he assigns homework he hardly goes over the problems the next class period. He doesnt care for his students. If you have him you better run. Furthermore, half the time when were learning a topic he doesnt know what hes writing!

1. did not make sense when lecturing 2. gave the girl who sat next to me a higher grade than me even though we did the same work and got the same answer 3. called me out in class and took away my points for phone usage when I was on my calculator 4. added a curve to all the assignments at the end because no one in the class was passing at the time

Absolutely terrible. Doesn't care about his students at all, I learned everything from attempting to watch YouTube videos. Switch out if you can, I wish I did.

Absolutely horrible. I showed up to every class except one, did all of my homework, and I was barely able to get a B. The class average on both of the paper exams (one midterm and one final) was below a 50% AND HE DID NOT CURVE. He also uses WebAssign, but never teaches you how to use it and only uses it for exams, so teach yourself before.

Worst professor at SVSU hands down. It's a wonder how Hassan is still allowed to teach, let alone in a college setting. Lectures make no sense and offers no help when I reached out for assistance on the homework. This class is a joke in the worst way possible. I've tried to contact the Dean but the Dean did absolutely nothing. Avoid at all costs

He will make you pay $100 for WebAssign just to use it once. He will then copy and paste the bold from the textbook into a word document and read it to you. Don't ask him questions, he doesn't like that. Good Luck!

Worst professor I've ever had. The class is a hostile learning environment because he will yell at you if you try to ask questions. He also makes a lot of small mistakes while doing his math which gives a bad example problem to students and he grades on his wrong answers.

I do not recommend a class taught by Hasan. Not only does he not truly teach the materials, but he also expects you to know about the material and some. I ended up dropping this class because of the way he taught. Also just order the book online through the class code he sends, it's cheaper and saves you a headache.

This professor missed the first two weeks of the semester and even after returning he required us to submit homework with the most arbitrary and unclear guidelines I've seen in a class. Never felt comfortable asking questions. Required a $100 webassign token for the exams you likely will fail because the lectures and notes are incomprehensible.

I took this class knowing the history of the SVSU math department and thought, "I have never had trouble with difficult professors before. I should be fine." Hasan made us purchase a $100 online tool that was used only once. He does not give feedback, and gets angry when you ask questions in class. Avoid him at all costs if you care about learning.

That fact that I went to SVSU back in 2005, left in 2011, then came back in 2021....and this guy is still here speaks a lot about the university and, in particular, the math department. AVOID AT ALL COST! Take the math course online somewhere, or even Delta. It would be much cheaper and useful than taking math here. STAY AWAY FROM THIS JERK!

Assignments are small/easy. Pop quizzes at beginnings of every lecture. Attendance is not mandatory. Dropped out instantly after the first class because he has a thick accent and wearing a mask. With English not being his first language it is EXTREMELY difficult to understand and pay attention, which is highly important in math.

This professor has a heavy accent which makes learning lecture more difficult. You often do a practice problem or two and move on to a new topic. Would not recommend.

His grading is EXTREME, and not at all consistent from person to person. You will be teaching yourself because he mostly just lectures straight out of the book. He is difficult to understand and constantly makes mistakes. Unless you are already great at every topic in this course, do not waste your money taking it with him.

Yall, please stay away from this guy for your own mental health

The worst excuse of a human pretending to be a professor. Horrifically unprofessional, unorganized, entitled, and disgustingly rude. Never registered for books, didnt upload a canvas page, didnt give a syllabus until the 2nd class with homework expected to be due, emailed him before said class about not having a book, and never received a response.

The whole class is exams and his exams are very tough. No standards in grading. Seems to just grade based on the mood he is in. Overall just a grumpy old man. Would not take again.

Worst Math professor I have ever had in my life. You cannot understand him, he makes constant mistakes when doing problems in class and when you try to question him or ask him about it he snaps back at you for interrupting. Seriously would never ever recommend even if there is no one else, it's not worth taking it. Just wait for the next semester.

I am going to say this as nicely as I can. Please do not enroll in his class. He is the definition of incorrigible. What it comes down to is his personality. Wait a year if you have to, don't take his class if it is a pre req for you. Even teaching yourself won't help you.

The worst teacher I have ever had, can't understand him because of his accent. He cannot hear you when you ask a question or try to correct him. Was graded on four separate assignments; Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3, and the final, with attendance counting as a point of extra credit. No homework or quizzes to make sure you are learning the material.

Was not present for first 3 weeks of class, did not post syllabus until 4th week. Only graded on 3 exams (9 questions) and a final. Constantly makes mistakes in lecture or is crossing out half a problem he just did wrong. Worst professor I have ever had/met in my life. Offers no help whatsoever. Please save yourself the mental breakdowns and don't.

Dropped class after one day, changed majors.

Every time someone asks a question they are met with a response that makes you feel like an idiot or that you should've never asked in the first place. Also, he is the hardest grader. On test 1, I had three questions where the answer was right, but I received 0 credit. This added up to -24 total. That's right, -24 on three correct answers.

literally only grades are 3 midterm exams, the final, and then attendance/homework but only 1 point a piece. so 24 bonus points with 400 points from exams and that's it. does not explain why a method is a method, breezes through an example for every concept, teaches for example the simpson rule and no other calc ii prof teaches it.

350 words is not nearly enough to WARN YOU AGAINST THIS MAN. Stay away from him if possible. He's stubborn, inconsiderate, and CANNOT communicate to save himself. Assignments weren't difficult, but he constantly gave instructions that made sense to him, but were not clear, then proceeded to mark down even though you completed what was asked.

Don't. This is the worst teacher/professor I've ever had. About 30% of my class this semester failed the class in a previous semester by the same teacher. Lectures all class, doesn't take questions, inconsistent grading, fall asleep before you understand a few of his words, and his handwriting is somehow worse. DONT TAKE HIM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED..

If I could give less than 1. Graded off exams only, he is amazing at math, but I've never met somebody with less of an ability to teach(I can't stress this enough). His accent is SO thick you probably won't be able to understand him, his the toughest grader I've ever seen, don't bother trying to ask questions. Rude, horrible lectures, just don't.

Absolutely awful. Often ignored students questions and came unprepared to class. His lectures are straight from the book but somehow full of typos. Rarely posted notes on time. Avoid at all costs

Very difficult prof. He doesn't take questions well and the 'lectures' are just him reading off of the notes he sends out after class. If it gives you any idea, the first week he told a student to 'stop wasting everyone's time' because the guy forgot to put his name on his homework. Don't take him. Just don't.

If you show up everyday, turn in every assignment fully done and not have your phone out he will give 24 EC points. Otherwise your grade is based ONLY on exams. Worked hard for a B- only to be tanked on the final because we had less than 3 weeks to learn our last 3 chapters instead of 5 weeks. TAKE PICS OF EXAM REVIEW & ANSWERS, fast paced on that.
