He's super sweet, and wants to make sure you do well in the class

awesome professor! always cheerful and wants you to do well!!

SO funny... one of my favorite teachers. Very helpful.. definitely take him!!

AWESOME teacher! Wish I could have him for all math classes!!!!

I hate statistics but he is a good teacher. Funny guy, Tests are fairly easy.

He's really great! He's definitely the best prof I've had my entire time at JMU.

the funniest dude ever...take him if you have to take 220-trust me!

One of my fav. prof at JMU. Very nice and helpful.

Funny guy, that Hassan!

He is my favorite teacher, sooo funny! Always helpful, even DURING tests!

Best teacher. Always in a great mood and you learn a lot

Really nice guy always willing to help...even on tests ;-)

awesome guy - take him (easy grader)

Hard to understand at first, but extreamly nice and wants to know everyone

Hasan is the man.

HASAN is awesome.. Highly recommended!! Great teacher.. SO nice!

If you take stats, take him. Stats sucks but he's really nice and generous

GREAT teacher. Helps out during tests. TAKE HIM!

a truly wonderful professor

Cute accent, but difficult to understand. Funny, adorable professor. Hard material, but if you go to class and put forth a visible effort you'll get at least a c guaranteed. He WILL learn your name by the second class, and he will call you out.

lets you use whole sheet of paper front and back for tests. Grades pretty easy and good explaination of material. Nice guy too

Funny funny funny!! Really cares, Smart, but hard to understand...Non sexual crush...

Hasam is great. He really explains things well and wants you to get it. He's funny in a cute way.

Very funny. Made an effort to keep students interested. Tests were tough, but fair. Seems to enjoy material. Accessible after class.

Hassan is really caring and amazing...he wants to see everyone get an A in his class.

He may be an easy stats teacher, but he's a REALLY REALLY HARD Math 235 teacher. No one got an A on any of his tests. He will help you if you go to office hours. If you aren't prepared to work hard, then steer clear of his calculus course.

don't let him take you to lunch or he will never leave you alone, hard to understand, he'll help you out on tests though so always ask, cares about students making good grades, just a little too weird for me however

Stats is hard, but Hassan helped me more than any other professor has. He is really interested in his students, and will take as much time as you need to help you succeed. If I had to suffer through more math, I would seek Hassan for help!

I've never had a more helpful math prof. He's so funny and helpful. Hard to understand at times but always willing to go over the material if you ask. Gives lots of take home stuff-go to his office and he will practically do it for you! take him if u can!

I absolutley love this guy! He is an amazing professor. He is so willing to help and really cares about you getting good grades.Go to his office hours! I practically lived there! Its a hard class but get this professor and you will be ok! He is the best!

Hamdan is not only my favorite professor but one of my favorite people! He is always there for all of his students. I am very happy to have someone like him as a guide.

This man stresses me the hell out. It's not difficult but he pulls quizzes out of nowhere. Responsive to the general opinion of the class. Will definitely tell you how to do everything if you ask.

Hasan uses great examples in class and is very funny.. Now to the bad side, projects take years to complete and are worth almost no points. Test are long and extremely hard. You might get a B.

really nice guy, wants everyone to do well, grading is fair, can correct exams if class average is low, drops 2 lowest quizzes, if you do the work, YOU WILL DO WELL!

none of us were math majors, but he still made the class interesting, and wouldn't move on until everyone understood. very nice, caring, funny, i wish he taught more than just math! very smart and helpful. i never wanted to miss a class!

I love Hamdan. I hate Stats. Go to class, take your work to the Math lab in wilson.

I love this man!! He is the best statistics professor in the department. He makes sure everyone understands the material and he understands that not everyone taking stats is a math person. He is always willing to work with students and he is hilarious. "My friends" you will love Hamdan!

i love this man to death!!!! stats is def not my thing but he is soo willing to help you whenever you need it! he will do anything for you just to see you succeed. warning:tests are tricky! i will always stay in touch with "my friend". even if you don't like stats take this class - he is worth it!

Loved this man! He is hilarious, and a great profesor. Its difficult to understand at first, but he writes everything down, and you get used to his language. Definitly worth taking :-)

Hamdan is awesome. He is very funny and is helpful if you go see him in his office. Difficult class, but thats more a reflection of the material than the teacher, he does the best job he can with it

Not bad.. just do the work- Test corrections, projects and quizzes bring up the grades. Very easy to convince to change quizzes to take home. Take him!

Wow I as much as the next person hates Stats, but he explained the material well, is very nice, and helpful. It is a hard class but thats just the subject not the professors fault. Take the time to go to the lab to get help and you'll do fine! I would recommend Dr. Hamdan!

A little difficult to understand at first. Very helpful, all you have to do is go to his office and he'll help! Tests are a little difficult. Drops some of the lowest quizzes. Group project fairly easy but time consuming. Projects/quizzes help pull up grades.

Hamdan is a great teacher. He is extremely helpful and funny. Accent is hard to understand at first but you get used to it quickly and he drops two quizzes and helps out a lot wtih grades. If you study you will get an A!

he really knows his stuff, is willing to help you understand and get a good grade... a cool guy, funny (the accent helps too), and an enjoyable class... a little hard though unless you like math

He is very understanding and fair with every student. I am essentially retarded at math and managed a B-. The topic is inherantly awfull but he is good at expaining it. He is far and away better than the other stats teachers

Hard to understand but does his best to make jokes and help out. I am the worst person in the world at math but he refuses to let his students fail...it will not happen unless you like forget to take the exams! Let's you correct your exams for extra credit and quizes and projects boost your grade. Trust me, I failed every exam and got a C :-).

take him for statistics trust me all the other instructors are extermely difficult this guy will not fail you if you try! thick accent and messy handwriting but he will work with you to help you understand..... if you want to pass the first time around take him!

Best professor I've had at JMU! He's so helpful and so funny, I definitly enjoyed going to class. Make sure you go to all of his classes though, I only missed one the entire semester and I fell way behind.

Dr. Hamdan is the coolest teacher in the world. I highly recommend his class.

Hamdan is the best stats professor there is. However, if you have trouble with accents, you might have a prob. He's really sweet though and he will not fail you. He wants you to do well.

great stat teacher, will try to make everyone have good grades. he gives you many take home tests and if you go to his office he will give you the answers! i am horrible at math but got a b in the class!!

i've been terrible at math since i could add. i'm an art student, go figure. i also failed stats the first time around. all i can say is this: take hamdan if you really, really suck. just TRY and do the work, and you'll be fine. i ended up with a B in his class.

Dr. Hamdan is awesome. He's nice and very approachable. He really cares about his students as well.

Outstanding - I was scared to death to take statistics - his love of teaching and clearly of stats and great sense of humor - hard to come by.

Prof Hamdan is a great teacher, goes over each example until everyone gets it. Fair grading, and gives you chances to redeem yourself with things like test corrections. Really cares about you understanding the subject. Great teacher, take him if you can.

Prof. Hamdan is the best. He is always in a good mood and refuses to move on to new stuff until everyone understands whats going on. Lets you make test corrections to boost up your test grades. Quizzes come from recommended questions. I got a C without very muc effort at all. Also, extrememly helpful during office house & a great person in general.

Best teacher I've ever had, he explains things really well, he's extremely helpful, friendly, and kind. You should definately try to take him if you get a chance!

Very good teacher who clearly explains statistics. Test are easier than the quizzes he gives and some of the quizzes are take home. 3 project, 2 exams, and a final. If your good at stats you should do well

Class was okay. Quizzes and group SPSS projects helped me grade the most. Tests are difficult but he's very generous about the cheat sheet you get to bring in. If you attend each class and study a lot you should be able to do good.

Really great guy like everyone says, but his class did not follow the book at all. I tried many times to ask him what chapters/sections a quiz/test would be on, and he would have to think about it, and a couple times gave me different answers. Made it really difficult for me to learn stuff I missed.

Was fair teacher but quizes did not follow assigned reading. said that practice exams and real exams were very similar, not true. Was fair about cheat sheet.

Dr. Hamdan is the man! he is the nicest most fair prof i have ever had. it is hard to jump into 318 without ever doing stats before but he is helpful and he wants everyone to do well. his accent is a little thick but you can still understand him. take him if you can.

He is a great guy. For our class he let us do corrections on the first two tests. He changes his weights based on which test is best. Lets put it this way, I got a 51 and 63 on the two tests, and a 71 on the final (no corrections) and I got a B- in the class. He is an amazing guy though and will help you out all you need. He is great!

Hamdan is a great teacher. He doesn't follow the book but he breaks everything up and gives you examples for everything he is teaching you. He lets you do corrections on your tests and there are weekly quizzes but some were take home. He didn't go over SPSS which is probably the only negative thing, because it was hard to figure our the project

Took the class online this summer. He definitely focused on the book. He was always helpful when responding to emails regarding the midterm and projects, final exam was almost directly from the book. If you do all of the assignments and quizes on time, it's not that difficult to get an A. He's also really fair and will curve grades if necessary.

definitely take him! he is the nicest professor ever and really tries to make sure everyone understands the material. there is usually a weekly quiz, but some are take home and some take questions right out of the suggested homework questions from the book.

He's a great teacher, clear in explanations. No required homework but it helps to do the suggested problems before the test as in he usually takes some of the problems and puts them on the test.

He is a really nice guy but he teaches more stats rather than math235. let's us out late everyday (even though we have class 4 days a week). The class is somewhat hard but do the recommended problems which help a lot. he also does curve and let's us make corrections to our exams. definitely cares about his students and will help if you ask

COOL DUDE

Professor Hamadan is really cooperative and willing to work with his students. Although he is a bit unclear and disorganized he tries his best to make the material understandable. Allows test corrections and drops the three lowest quizzes, which are online and open note. The group project is a little frustrating but go to his office hours for help.

I loved Dr. Hamdan! He's super sweet and wants his students to do well. If you struggle with math like I do, use the practice questions under resources on connect math. That's what really helped me learn. He usually gives an online open note quiz each week, four group projects, and 3 tests.

As an international student, DR. Hamdan made the Math220 class very clear to us.

He was one of my best professors ever! the sessions were full of fun, and he himself was energetic. The only critic that I have is the final exam.

Dr. Hamdan is a great guy, like the kind of guy you'd want as a neighbor. However, I don't want my neighbor teaching me calculus. In addition, he expected us to know more from Calc I than we did. Also, on each test there was at least one problem we had never covered how to do. He's not very calculus minded, but I might take him again for Stats.

I had him in an 70 person class and HE WILL learn every name in the class. If you hate being called out in class then he is NOT the professor for you. Takes attendance 95% of the time. Homework and quizzes (at home) are through connectMath. He has a tendency of doing problems in a hard way, the textbook shows easier explanations so read it.

He was funny even when he didn't mean to be. His math jokes are super corny but brake up the math material. The only work sucks but is bearable. He will help you if needed. Really great with making sure everyone understands what is going on.

I enjoyed Dr. Hamdan's class. He understands that not everyone likes/ is good at math so he tries to make it entertaining. He tries to make sure everyone does well and is very understanding. The online math program that we used for quizzes and test was terrible though, so if you aren't a math person, this class might not be for you

Dr. Hamdan was a good professor. He only gives out 2 tests with corrections after and the final and you get a list of formulas. He often does not understand what students are asking so he does not answer your questions but the online textbook and practice problems is a huge help so use that. He gives online quizzes but 2 are dropped. Take him!

Since this class was online, it was most obviously hard to understand the content sometimes. However, professor Hamdam gave so many opportunities for us to succeed. There were only two tests (the midterm and the final) and he let us retake the midterm with notes, and gave us the final ahead of time. Just do the modules and you will pass!

Hamdan is the man! he is chill and his class was straight forward! do not expect an easy A as it is a 400 level math class!

very tough class but he is cool and fair! Not the best lecturer tho but he cares about his students a lot!

Took him online for 220, not bad at all. You have to complete a lot of "certifications" kinda like homework, but easy if you stay on top of the schedule. Discussion questions but only takes 20ish minutes to do. Group SPSS projects as well. Gave study guide for mid term. He is very accommodating with any issues you have. Highly recommend!

He's very kind and understanding. I wish he taught 329. I thank him for his humor because he never fails to put a smile on my face. The class is a lot of work though, but worth the experience.

Hassans math 229 class is difficult because of how much work it is. However, he really cares about his students and he will always answer your questions and help you get the homework and quizzes right. He is one of the best professors I have had and I would highly recommend taking him. Just put in the work and you will do great.

He's a great professor, but a little slow over zoom. It's a pretty easy class if you pay attention. The worst part of the class is that he assigns group projects and, if you end up with a bad group, it'll be a headache to deal with. Overall, he's an amazing teacher who loves what he teaches.

Dr. Hamdan is a wonderful professor who genuinely cares about his students. My class with him was hybrid, it was at times hard to understand him on zoom. But that is def. not what defines him. His in-person lectures were some of the best lectures I've ever had in a math class. He genuinely cares for his students. I cannot recommend his class enough

Good professor who genuinely cares for his students and everything. Attendance was mandatory for a grade, and all the homeworks/exams were online. Pretty clear instructor and was almost never confusing except his accent and somewhat unorganized handwriting. However, he does a very good job explaining and those who complained never showed to class

It is important to go to class as he takes attendance and his lectures are not really based off of the slideshows he posts on canvas. He uses real-world examples in order to help us better understand the material. He is hilarious but has awful handwriting and can be hard to understand at times. He makes statistics as interesting as it can get.

Dr. hamdan is the goat. math 220 is supposed to be such a tough class, but he makes it way easier. his tests are all open note and so are the quizzes. you also get unlimited attempts on the homework and they are fairly easy. the only thing that sucks is the spas but you have to do them for the class.

This is my favorite professor I have ever had. He is so funny and nice, and he really cares about his students success. All of our exams have been take home, and we've gotten multiple tries each time. Homework is easy and on aleks, and all exams you can use cheat sheets. He is a slow grader, but an easy grader. Four easy group projects.

He explains the concepts really well and engages the class with good topics. He talks about the projects and lectures in class which he walks you through. He isn't too tech savvy, but he writes notes on paper then shows it on the camera so go to class. He cares about his students and wants to help so ask for it. Favorite prof would take him again.

I love this man with my whole heart.

Professor Hamdan's teaching style can be hit or miss, but he genuinely cares about student success. While lectures can be disorganized, the open-note exams, lenient grading, and helpful study tools like unstuck AI make this an overall manageable course. Worth taking if you're willing to put in the work.

Dr. Hamdan is amazing! I was so scared to take calculus , but he made it as easy as chocolate cake :) I will say his lectures are fast paced but if you review the material the day before, you will be just fine. Also the final, midterm, and homework are online- in person. Take him, hes awesome!

Took Online so my experience may differ but, he was very nice and would help students with homework and questions often when he was asked. All homework and tests were online, the grading system for it kind of sucked but he was willingly to change stuff if you got it right, bad about answering email, but he's nice, I'd recommend taking him.

Very good guy. Genuinely cares about all of his students and wants every student to succeed. However sometimes is a bit disorganized with his lectures which leaves many students confused. The class will be easy if you've taken AP stats in high school.
