I didn't have a good experience w/ him. 1/3 of the class dropped by the end. We didn't have a book & he gave us ~ 6 hmwk Q's a test that he made up that weren't like the Q's on the test. It was all theoretical. He was arrogant & talked over everyone's head. He would make a better grad prof, but bad as an undergrad prof.

Hassan was an all around bad experience. He was often arrogant, late, and incomprehensible. No matter how many times we went to office hours, we still could not understand HIS material. We never used the book although he told us we should purchase it, he moved too fast, and couldn't ever seem to actually answer our questions. Avoid him for Calc!

Prof. Allouba is a very funny and caring, he truly wants his students to succeed. But learning from his is DIFFICULT. He makes it basically mandatory to go to office hours, because lectures are so confusing. There were 2 exams and a cumulative final, he takes the best of the two and that's your grade. AVOID if you haven't taken Calc before.

He's one of the better math professors I've had at the main campus but he also explains things using his own methods which makes it really hard to study. Class is made easier by the fact that there is only three exams, the final one is take home and its optional if you don't drop one of the first two which he also allows. Not the best but not bad.

Mr. Allouba is the worst teacher I've ever had. His lectures are horrible and confusing, it seems like he's trying to teach us higher level math when we're in precalc. There's three tests, one gets dropped, and that's your grade. No extra credit, no homework, and his office hours suck. Should have dropped when I could have. Run for the hills!

WORST PROFFESOR & CLASS IVE EVER HAD! He has a meeting time NEVER once used. His class was 1 hour 15 minutes, His lectures and so confusing and too advanced for what we should be learning. They were close to 2 hours each class and so confusing you have to watch it twice. As an architect student I don't have time for it. DO NOT BUY THE $250 BOOK!!

I took several classes with Dr Allouba. His lectures are detailed and clear, and he has a flexible grading policy. He's also caring and friendly. I would take another course with him, but I'm done with all my math requirements.

He is literally the worst teacher I have ever known. There are 3 tests and the lowest is dropped. He never gave out any homework, gave us 2 examples to practice, and never responded to emails. Get ready to hear "elementary math" a million times in his terrible pre-recorded lectures. He is so unorganized, AND ITS A PRE-RECORDED CLASS.

Great professor with a nice sense of humor. His lectures are elaborate and sometimes go beyond our level but his tests and exams are aligned with the syllabus and he gives xtra credit and allows us to drop the lowest score.

This was a graduate course so I had to work my behind off. The exams were loaded but tehy followed the lectures materials. Dr Allouba is very clear in teaching his lectures and very flexible in his grading criteria which made the course palatable for me. He cares about educating the students in his class and makes sure we all follow.

Hassan is an insightful teacher, his courses are not easy but he always inspires you to do great and achieve. I was fortunate to take so many courses with him throughout my college career. He's friendly and clear in his lectures and grading. The exams do not deviate from the lectures which tend to be at an advanced level at times. Overall 5 stars.

Good teacher overall he puts the lectures online on blackboard even tough this was inperson class. This is a senior course so you gotta put in the work we ain't in high school anymore. I'm gonna take more classes with this guy he makes math more tolerated unlike the other folks.

Hassan is a very interesting teacher. He has a very unconventional style of teaching and I think that it works. The lectures can be very confusing at times but he is always willing to help out the class to actually understand the material. He only has 3 grades: attendance, and 3 tests with the worst grade dropped. Also very quick to cancel class.

Professor Allouba has an interesting teaching style, but it works. The lectures are easy to follow and clear to understand, with the exams following exactly what he teaches. A couple of things to know are that he is quick to cancel class, and the homework isn't graded for points.

Dr. Allouba is a genius man but an awful professor. He made no syllabus, had no homework (so no way to practice), and was very monotone. There were two take home exams throughout the entirety of the semester and that is what your grade is based on. He leaves you off more confused than you went into class.
