So very heplful! Probably the best math teacher I've ever had. He's so kind and patient, even when I thought he shouldn't be! Willing to explain this time and time again until everyone understands it, but at the same time, doesn't sit in one spot too long! I RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER!!!
Best Algebra teacher ever!I wish he'd get hired on as full time and teach more classes.I've had Int. and College Alg. with him and made A's both times.He knows the subject and helps after class.He makes formulas simple to understand.Work your schedule around his class.It will be worth it.I Promise!!
He is awesome the one of the best math teachers ever. If you don't pass his class it is because you don't pay attention. He even tells you that everyone will pass his class.
Great teacher. I am horrible at math, but he made sure everyone understood and everyone was doing well. He doesnt try and teach you things you dont need to know. He is the best math teacher ever. If you need help, he is willing to help you. If you do what he says you will make and A.
Good teacher if you don't make an A or B you just are not trying. He moves alittle fast but if you ask him for help he will stay until you get it.
If you take notes you will do fine.Tests are not to bad. study extra hard for the final.great guy.
Hard to understand through accent but he is very nice,and helpful.
Very, very great guy. If needed, he will hold your hand the whole way throught it. Communication is the key to make it in his class.
This class is hard for anyone who is not good at math but he makes it easier. If you try, he will try to make sure you pass.
This guy is great! He is the one you should take if you just dont' get Math. He teaches so that when you walk out of his class, you've got it! Wonderful person, I still keep in touch w/ him! He is very willing to help and make sure you understand the class. Wish he could teach every class I nedd!!!! Thanks Hussien!
Do not take him if you have to go to calculus. He does not know how to do any of the homework problems when asked. This is not helpful at all. Poor teacher. Nice is not good enough for me. I want a good teacher who will teach.
Hussien is an excellent professor. I have had him for a couple classes and he will help anybody in any way.
I am horrible at math, he definitly made the class bearable! I took him for 3 classes! Hes a great teacher and a great guy. Kinda hard to understand at times... but a great teacher nonetheless!
he is always late and hard to get ahold of but he is not a full time teacher at TCC. He is good though he wants you to understand and he will not let you make a bad grade one of the few A's I have gotten
He seems like he always has to be somewhere else besides class. Mr. Khattab is always late to class and is always rushing out of class really before he can really help you. Sometimes a little difficult to understand, seems like his office hours are always having to change. If you work a full time job and student do not take this teacher then.
he was a great teacher and made sure to take time out during the period for students to make comments and ask queations. He arrives late for his classes because he teaches at different campuses. Over all he is a excellent teacher.
Excellent class, he sometimes makes it a little too easy for the level of math it is. I'd recommend him to anyone no matter if you love math or not!
Hussien Khattab is probably the nicest, most caring, and helpful teacher i've ever had. He'll go out of his way to help you get a good grade. A little hard to understand at times because of his accent, but is excellent at explaining things.
This is one of the best math teachers that I've ever had! He's so helpful and understanding. Even though his accent is thick and it's hard to understand him sometimes, he's very thorough. He is also funny. And, he always let us out of class early! You're stupid not to take this teacher!
Excellent Teacher. He Knows what is he doing
Very good and helpful. Makes it as easy as possible. Would recommend him if you have difficulty with Algebra.
great
He's very nice. Drops the lowest quiz and gives lots of chances for make-up. He cares about his students getting good grades and offers lots of help with problems. HIs accent is sometimes hard to understand though.
Dr Khattab is a great teacher. Iv had him for three classes and he has helped me very much in each one. He does his best to get you a good grade, but you have to put forth a little effort first. He gives partial credit on tests and quiz's, and as of the last class i had, he still didnt require any homework turned in. Overall one of the best teacher
The best math teacher I ever had in TCC. I would take any math class with him especially Algebra
very helpful, very knowledgable. He is one of the best teachers I ever had at TCC
Awesome Professor! Makes Alg II a nice review & a walk in the park. I was amazed at what I had learned by the end of his summer class! Highly recommended, especially if Algebra doesn't come simply to you...he was interested in all of our success. I earned a 'D' with another teacher, he showed me the errors or my ways...take him & succeed!
Very helpful, extremely knowledgable. He is one of the best math teacher I ever had.

awesome teacher! no homework gives prequizes and pretests if you can understand his accent you will do great. very clear with his teachings if you dont understand he will go back and review. best math teacher anyone could ask for. you could suck at math and still pass with an A+
Took him for Basic Math. Very easy, lets you ask as many questions as you want, works everything out, and has a funny sense of humor. Never have homework, just quizs and test...very easy as well.
Khattab is THE BEST algebra teacher on planet earth. He really prepares you, and does not try to trick you with the tests and quizes. He even gives you a prequiz or pretest, with step by step solutions, so you understand everything before the actual test. Be prepared to take lots of notes and always ask him for help if u need it.
He was the best math teacher I have ever had. He has an accent, but you get used to it. He is really funny and encourages class participation. He grades on attendance, but you get three free absences. He gives prequizzes before the actual quiz and thoroughly goes over them day of the quiz. I highly recommend him.
He is a little hard to understand at first, but after that he is great. No junk, just the facts. He wants you to pass, if you don't understand just ask he will help.
He is trying everything to make everyone pass. He is extremely helpful. The class is not easy but he makes it okay by giving you opportunities to get better. He's really nice and try his best at making everyone do well.
Math is not my favorite subject but Dr. Khattab is so helpful. He does an excellent job at explaining everything step by step. He gives us practice quizzes and tests to help us better prepare and do well in his class. He will even help you outside of class if you need additional help. I HIGHLY recommend him.
excellent teacher really helps you get through all the assignments
He is AMAZING when he teaches, he is crystal clear. He gives a prequiz and pretest and helps you with any questions. I would highly recommend him for any math class.
I love Mr. Khattab! He's one of my favorite instructors! Such a nice guy and does whatever he can to help you understand the material. I can't say one bad thing about him. Take home pre-quizes and reviews before every test and final. I am taking him again next semester and recommend him to everyone!
Mr. Kahttab is an awesome professor. probably the best math class I've ever had. If you don't get math, take him. pre-quizzes to use on quizzes, only 2 test plus final, helps you with everything..I definitely recommend him for any math class, not just college algebra!!
the course was difficult but he is always willing to help he really wants his students to pass. I definetly recommend khattab.
I took Professor Khattabs Intermediate and follwed up with him in C. Algebra. I graduated many years ago and never had to take alg. in H.S. So when I started TCC I had to start at basic math. Ilove this teacher he does evertyhing can to insure you pass with good grades. I made A each semester I took him.
I loved taking Professor Khattab's class. He made sure that I understood the Concepts that he was teaching. His door was always open to students. (I'm really not a Math Student) He broke complex formulas down to bite sized pieces that even I could understand. I walked away with an A for the class! Actually I just made an A on the final Today!!
really good teacher, dont get hw at all just take home test and quizes take this class, and his final is 32 questions.
Awesome professor! He makes everything seem easy. Breaks everything down into different parts that you can understand. I highly reccomend Khattab if you struggle in math. He'll help you out a lot.
Prepares you great for tests and quizzes. Funny too!
Mr. Khattab was a great help. I have been out of school for 25+ years and jumped into College Algebra without taking any prepatory classes, a little scary! He made sure we understood the material and he was very thorough in his test/quiz reviews. I hope he teaches my Business Calc class!
He is crystal clear and does an excellent job at explaining everything in detail.Gives practice quizzes and tests and will even help you outside of class if you ask.
Dr.Khattab was amazing! He is crystal clear in explaining, he gave the class prequizes and pretests to prepare you for the original quizes and exams. He is very helpful and the class was great overall! Take Dr. Khattab for Trig!
Gives you everything you need to get an A in the class. Very essay, just take good notes. Gives tons of help, reviews before tests and quizzes. No homework. I hated algebra before this class, now I at least understand it!
Statistics is a hard class but he makes it very understandable and gives a lot of help he always reviews before every quiz and test as long as you show up you will make a good grade
Great Teacher!! Very helpful and he wants you to pass with an A..! He reviews before test and quizes if you show up to class and take good notes then you should get an A! He made me like math.
I had him for stat. Talk about hardest subject made into the easiest class I'll probably ever take. Showing up to class was mandatory (one point per day) But, worth it. 10 to 15 questions on his tests and quizzes. Able to use notes on the test and quizzes were take home. If you had any questions he'd answer right then! So helpful! Love him!
Great teacher. no text book used just took notes. was very caring and helpful really wants you to do well. go's above and beyond for all his students. I'm not great in math but he helped me to understand it. attend class and try and he will help. I got an A in this class but only because he is such a great teacher.Thanks abunch you rock mr. Khattab
Very good professor. Extremely helpful. Would recommend to anyone who does not like math makes it fun and easy to understand gets to the point and avoids confusing you. Easy A. No textbook necessary. Everything is straight from notes.
AMAZING POFESSOR! Not only did I learn a ton, but my love for math also grew tremendously! He provides clear and simple explanations and is always happy to help. I actually considered taking more advanced math courses merely out of genuine interest because of him! Every professor needs to look at this man as an example of what is a good professor.
I had him for Algebra / Trig for the summer. Hussien Khattab is probably the nicest, most caring, and helpful teacher I've ever had. He will not let anyone get a bad grade. A little hard to understand at times because of his accent, but is excellent at explaining things.
He is everything you could want in a teacher: funny, nice, easygoing, easy to understand, very helpful, and willing to work with you. He explains things so well and I enjoyed his class so much that it didn't even feel like a math class. I never needed to use the book, just took notes and I learned everything just fine. Take this teacher if you can!
He is the best math teacher I have ever had, hands down. He does not leave it up to Math Lab to teach his students. He assigns no homework and makes sure every one of his students is understanding everything. He really wants everyone to pass and does a great job making sure that you will. You will not regret taking his class.
Dr. Khattab is a very highly rated individual, and that is why I took his Trig class. However, he never once gave out homework, or used the MyMathLab function that I paid for. He also only taught out of the book, which he cited as being incorrect in its sample problems several times, and I ultimately was left alone to die when it came to the tests.
This is BY FAR the BEST math prof at TCC! The most helpful! I took him for alg/trig over the summer & it flew by. He didn't assign any homework & made sure every1 understood everything in basic easy to understand terms. He shows u how to do it by hand then with calc. He is not my prof for calc I but still helps me! TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM! TAKE HIM!!!!
Dr. Khattab is the best teacher I have ever taken at TCC. One cannot express the ammount of knowledge this man has in math. He excels to his fullest extent to make sure his students succeed and learn to their fullest capabilities. He is extremely nice and helpful, patient, easy, and very respectable. I HIGHLY recommend this professor to all.
Great Teacher. I highly recommend him. You will not regret it.
Explains everything extremely well! Makes sure his students understand everything. If you ask questions, he answers to his fullest ability. He knows what he's doing.
Mr. Khattab made learning trig an easy experience. He explains concepts really well and has great handwriting to follow along. Sure he has somewhat of an accent, but if you can pay attention he makes it real easy. He has a couple take home quizzes and tests, no homework, multiple choice exams, no bonus but he will work with you to make sure you get a good grade.
Best Math Teacher I have ever had...Very respectful...cares about his students...wants everyone to do well...no homework... attendance is a must...No book needed...He uses powerpoint...everything can be printed off of blackboard or just take notes..his classes fill up quickly so be ready to enroll as soon as it opens for enrolling...he is amazing
Mr. Khattab is a excellent teacher... He breaks college algebra down to where you can understand it... If you go to class and learn how to use the calculater you will pass his class...It take me like two years to pass algebra if I would have had him as my instructor the first time I would hav passed... im taking him for stats so i can pass
Insanely great teacher, he is by far the best math teacher I've ever had.
I've had alot of algebra teachers at tulsa community south... this instructor teaches what you need to know and nothing you dont... If you can get in his class do it and go to class youll pass...I'm taking him for stats...
Khattab was a great instructor. His teaching style is very easy. I think he is an awesome guy. Personally, I feel like I learn better with more homework and Khattab doesn't assign any homework except for the take home quizzes. I would recommend if you can learn without homework.
I am terrible at math and he made this class a breeze! Best teacher ever, take this class!
He is a great teacher. I do not do well in math areas and he has no problem making sure that everyone understands before he continues and has no problem with you asking questions. At times he can be monotonous, but all in all, i would recommend him
Great teacher! Such a nice guy, helps you understand the concepts, no difficult homework, take home quizzes. Love him! Take him if you can!
Explains things very well for the most part. Sometimes he does speed through things but he is readily available if you need help. Good teacher and I would recommend him.
Awesome teacher and all test are multiple choice and he gives ton of extra credit take him if u want an easy A in college alg.
His accent is hard to understand but his class was very easy because unlike other instructor he teach you short cut. I don't always attend class but I got a B in the class because the way he teach is extremely helpful. Unlike other he teach you how to find the answer not just doing all the unnessecary steps that confuse you. RECOMMEND
He is a really nice guy and will help you as much as possible! You don't need a book and he gives study guides that are just like his tests. His tests and homework are very short and test are multiple choice.
Good teacher. Sometimes hard to understand his accent. He's good at explaining math though. Doesn't give out alot of homework and tests are easy if you pay attention during class. Would Recommend
Very good teacher. Really wants to help those that do not understand. Will take extra time to focus on trouble spots. You must attend the class and pay attention.
Professor khattab is a great teacher and he always made class interesting and fun. I plan on taking all of my future math classes with him.
awesome teacher. i am taking calc 1 with him in the fall.
Best math teacher that I've ever had. Great teaching skills, great reviews and explanations. Will help until you get it. Highly recommend, I never got math untilthis class and this was Alg/Trig. Take his class you will not regret!
I'm gonna miss khathab I had him for college algebra, calculus 1 & 2 best teacher ever, he knows his stuff if you want to learn math and make a good grade he is your guy.
What an AWESOME teacher! He is funny and has an amazing personality. He wants you to understand the subject and will do anything to help! He only required 15 out of 25 questions on all homework assignments and gave plenty of prep time before tests!You will love his class guaranteed!
He also teaches math at peace academy for 8th - 10th. I've never made below 95 in any of his classes. He is outstanding! He always said that I am one of the best students he has ever had. He'll make sure you understand before moving on. He is always available for help after class. He will never say no to anyone. He is also very funny. He is an expert at math jokes. He is best math teacher I've ever had. No one can compare to him. Not even Stephen Hawking can compare to him. Dr. K is the best!!!!
I have NEVER been good at college algebra. This was my third time taking the class and not only did I get an A but I UNDERSTOOD what he was teaching. Khattab is probably the best professor I've ever had, and definitely the best college algebra professor I've ever had. He's funny, he goes over everything that will be on the tests. Highly recommend.
Hey is a great teacher, however he never replies to emails, and doesn't put grades up in blackboard. if you have a hard time in algebra i would deff take him, i took this class and College algebra at the same time, not hard at all if anyone was interested, depends on you algebraic comprehension level but he is outstanding, dont buy the book!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love Mr. Khattab, he knows that algebra is a necessary evil...his teaching methods are great...The quizzes are short and the test are pretty easy, this is not an easy subject so attendance is mandatory...I'm taking him for college algebra next semester.
AMAZING TEACHER! I absolutely hate math, but he goes over everything so well and makes sure you understand. Loved having him as a teacher.
He is great at teaching math! I came into class FEARING algebra but leaving the class I can confidently say I have a sound base in the subject. He does have an accent and writes a little smaller than I'd like so you will want to sit as close as you can to ensure you never miss anything. Lastly he is pretty funny, its math so dont expect a comedian.
Dr. Khattab is a terrific math instructor. He does a fantastic job of explaining some difficult topics. His homeworks assignments, from MyMathLab, are the right length and really help reinforce his lectures. Each chapter has a quiz - which can be attempted 3 times. Tests were short, but covered the material. Excellent instructor.
I am TERRIBLE at math and this class is actually my highest grade!He is an amazing instructor and i very clear and funny! I would recommend him to ANYONE! I am taking him in the summer! GREAT TEACHER!!
Astounded by the way Dr. Khattab teaches! Very clear on lectures, but does write small on the board. He picks questions out for you on Homework and Quizzes! He was very helpful if you asked. Doesn't care how many questions you have if you go to his office for help. He will help until you understand everything! Taking him for Calculus I. LOVE HIM!
Mr Khattab is great! I learned more about algebra I and Trig in his review at the beginning of the course than I did from last semester. He knows he's teaching a difficult subject (Calculus) and makes it incredibly easy to follow. Everything he teaches is a stepping stone for the next section and he makes sure you understand before he moves on.
Best math teacher EVER. Understands students are not mathematicians and explains the material thoroughly. Gives opportunities for extra credit on poor test scores. Lots of points for attendance and will work one on one to make sure students understand. Very detailed exam study guides and he works the pertinent problems in class.
Amazing professor,very good and teaching and explaining algebra. Gives you a test review before test and sometimes lets you use the review when taking the test. He does use my math lab, but doesn't give a lot of questions on the homework. I highly recommend taking him. Once you get past his slight accent he is very good at teaching algebra.
He is honestly an amazing professor. He is clear and concise, straight to the point, unlike other teachers that rant forever about irrevelvent personal things. Uses mathlab but not a lot of questions. He is excellent!!!
prof khattab is a wonderful teacher,to be sincere i have not seen a good math prof like him before, and no matter how dull a student is in comprehending with him ,u will easily comprehend and like maths and he gives u review for each test and the review is the same typeof questions that will show up on the testand u don't need to buy a textbook
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Many students in the class, myself included, struggled with math. Mr. Khattab did a great job at making sure no one fell behind. He also does a great job at encouraging class interaction. I would always laugh when he would ask a question and the class would be silent, then he would say "HELLLOO?"
Crazy easy class. Show up, do the homework online, and have three tests. He does a curve at the end so as long as you pay attention you'll do fine. I didn't buy the book because when you buy the code the book is on mymathlab. Easy A!
he is the best math teacher that I've ever seen in my life. so helpful and his method of teaching is so clear and the tests are fairly easy. Awesome person with funny character.
Astounded again by the way Dr. Khattab teaches! I had him for Col. Algebra, and took him again for Calc 1. He knew this class was hard for some, but he was very clear in lectures. Doesn't care how many Questions you have if you are struggling. He will help you until you understand everything! Take him if you struggle with math. AWESOME INSTRUCTOR!
Mr. Khattab is a wonderful algebra teacher. If you can take him do it! He is very clear in his teaching style and has a great personality. He gives opportunities for extra credit and study guides very similar to the tests. I struggle with math but he made this semester a good one. I learned a lot and I feel like I'm ready for college algebra!!
Dr. Khattab is fantastic. I took algebra 15 years ago in high school and made Cs and Ds. I was so scared to take algebra. Khattab made it easy to understand and he gives you THREE chances on quizzes and takeds the highest grade. I received an A in his class and i could not be happier. I would take him again in the future.
Khattab was super easy and taught everything to your understanding. Class is not mandatory but very helpful if you go. Homework and quizzes are online. My only complaint is his accent is pretty heavy and difficult to understand. But once you get past that, he's a great teacher!
Khattab is always willing to help and as long as you pay attention to him, it is an easy class. Attendance is a grade!
Great instructor, book not required. He assigns the minimum amount of homework required to master each section, and makes the material interesting and easy to understand. I recommend him to anyone, whether you are naturally skilled in mathematics or you struggle with it.
3rd time taking Dr. Khattab! Easy going, and not a harsh grader in Calculus 2! Tests are just like the study guide, just different numbers! Doesn't mind you asking questions. Beware in his Calculus 2 class that 2 of his 3 tests are not multiple choice, but usually isn't much harder than the study guide. Stay focused, and you will pass! Awesome Guy!
he is the best teacher I have EVER had. Seriously....I hate math and am terrible but he will work with you until you get it. lectures are crystal clear - assigns minimal homework.
Every class is a lecture providing you with the skills needed for homework. Typically presents from Powerpoint. Dismisses class soon as lecture is over. Always reminds you of due dates. Attendance is important being it is for a portion of your grade. Once you get past the accent, he's a great teacher. NEVER OPENED THE TEXTBOOK ONCE.
You recieve attdence I depise math mainly because I struggle with it but I absolutely love the class. I have made hundreds so far. Homework and quizez are done on a mymathlab and get three chances on quizzes and infinite on the homework. Professor khattab has easy to understand leactures 335and if you ask for help he will help you.
Dr. Khattab is probably the best math teacher you will encounter at TCC. I was so scared going into college algebra because I hadn't done math in a few years and I've never been good at it, but he really is there for you and willing to answer questions and makes sure you understand the material. He also gives extra credit after midterms and finals!
A master of his craft and easily the best math teacher I have ever had in my life, Professor Khattab has the gift. If you struggle with mathematics but are willing to put forth the effort to do well this is your guy. Come to class ready to work and I promise he will make these concepts click for you and you will do well.
attendance is part of your grade homework and test for every chapter three exams pretty lenient with opening homework back up if you miss due date. just have a good excuse. I'm pretty slow when it comes to picking up math. He moved to quickly for me. especially for beginning algebra. Wouldn't take him again.
This class was the best Math class I've ever taken. However, you have to be willing to do your part. Attendance is mandatory, but that is understandable because he explains everything important in order to do the homework, which he is lenient with. He earns your respect throughout the semester, and you feel accomplished when you make him proud.
I've taken Professor Khattab for 2 classes and am enrolled for a third during summer. I hate math simply because I struggle but I love his classes. Work is online and you get unlimited tries. Multiple chances on quizzes also . Lectures are easy to understand and he is there for you. Attendance matters. He cares about students. Recommended.
Khattab moves very quickly so if you aren't "math person" then i would take someone else. he also says mistakes people make in math are stupid which is funny unless you make those mistakes. homework and test for every chapter. attendance matters. he gives 3 exams and extra credit. Show up to class, do your homework, everything should go smoothly
I would recommed that you not take him if you struggle in Math. He goes quick and gets annoyed at times when someone has a question. If you are great with Algebra then take him. Gives extra credit for attendance. Don't bother buying the book because he does not follow it. He uses mymathlab and its like around $110.
The best math instructor in TCC ever.
Dr. Khattab is very knowledgeable and teaches algebra in such a way that complicated problems become simplified. He has a passion for teaching and wants his students to succeed. His lectures are informative, well-paced, and even amusing. I enrolled in his class next semester as soon as open enrollment was available. I highly recommend him!
Best Math Instructor I have ever had in my life. I wish I was taught by him at High School
I'm disappointed reviews that say he's fast paced. This is my second semester taking him for Algebra classes and I've signed up for him next semester as well. He's a compassionate teacher, extremely helpful and cares about his students and their comprehension of the subject. Don't get it? Ask. Still confused? Ask again. He really is dedicated.
Good teacher for clarity. There is homework but it is doable. lets you use graphing calcs which is wonderful. Understands the stresses of life and lets you turn in late work. Tests are easy if you did homework. 10/10 would recommend
Absolute best teacher I've had this far. Khattab sweeps away all my fears of complicated math I'm the future and I wouldn't dare take another teacher for any of them! The only complaint I would have isn't really valid, it's just that he's a little too lenient on assignment due dates in my opinion, but like I said, not really a bad thing!
You will have homework. Extra credit will be given. He is very helpful and wants you to learn and do well. If you are respectful, do your work and go to class you will do well. He's a great teacher and organized.
He explains things well
Great teacher! Would recommend 10/10.
He is absolutely gifted. The best professor I have ever had and I am almost done with my bachelor's. Lectures are clear and to the point, homework is minimal compared to other math teachers I've had, and you don't need to the book. He is AWESOME. Algebra isn't easy and I struggle but made an A.
Dr. Khattab is a wonderful professor. He is by far the best math teacher I have ever had. He gives quiz reviews and test study guides and you won't see anything on the quiz/test that he didn't review. There is extra credit on the tests. He is also really funny. He will work with you if you don't understand something.
I was very scared to take College Algebra because I am terrible at math, but he makes it so easy to understand. He is the kind of teacher who can make you like a subject that you previously hated. He's very easy going, gives power points and study guides, even nice enough to extend dates. You'll be disappointed if you don't take him.
You must take him, hes an amazing teacher. Hes very understanding, gives extra credit, extra help if you ask.! I took him for beginning, intermediate, and college algebra. You dont need the books ever in any class i took. Just have to buy the online access. JUST TAKE HIM
This teacher was so amazing!!!! I LOVED HIM!!!
He is such a great guy, and it would be difficult to find a student who hasn't enjoyed him as a professor. He will go over the material many times for those who don't understand it. Tests are online, as well as the homework. Anytime you have a question, he will help. His lectures are easy to listen to and clear. Take this professor! :-)
bEST.
All work was done on the online textbook so show up take a few notes and you're golden. Lets us leave half way through the class you just need to sign attendance stating you were there. Doesn't respond to emails in a timely manner if at all.
One of my two favorite teachers ever! He is patient, funny, and an excellent teacher! He works with students so they will be successful. I wish I had him for every math class I've ever taken. It took a little time to get used to his accent. You will never regret choosing him as a professor!
He's so nice! He simplifies math and always checks on us to make sure we aren't lost. If you are struggling; he will explain it again, try another problem, or word it a little differently until it makes sense. And if you are still confused, he will invite you to meet up with him after class. His main goal is to help us understand and succeed.
I had a communication gap right off the bat with his heavy accent. He does give you every chance to pass including take home test and extra credit for doing study guides. Biggest problem was communication. I learned more from youtube than I did the class.
Great professor, really does care about the success of his students. He has a quiet sense of humor and tries to lighten up the class where he can. Very clear on what to expect on the tests and provides study guides before each exam. He was very patient and I have already enrolled in the next class he teaches next semester. I highly recommend him
Khattab is hands down the best math teacher at TCC. His lectures are pretty boring, but they're tolerable. He's very smart and he makes sure you understand what to do. we went over like 6 chapters and had 1 assignment and 1 quiz per chapter, and only 3 tests all semester (1 being the final). If you're awful at math like me, Khattab is the way to go
Best math teacher I ever had! Gives you every opportunity to succeed. Truly cares about his students. Makes learning math and working math problems fun.
So glad I took him for algebra and now I'm finally done with math! Made it pretty simple to understand. As stated before he gives you so many opportunities to pass the class.
Awesome teacher!
Dr. Khattab is the best math professor I have ever had. Explains things clearly and makes sure you know your stuff. He made College Algebra easy and fun.
Doctor Khattab made Beginning Algebra for me. I didn't get it at all in high school, or in college until I took his class. He made it make sense. If you think you can't understand algebra, take his classes. You'll change your mind. He is a great teacher. I'm taking College Algebra with him, and then Elementary Statistics.
I'm SO LUCKY and privileged to have ended up in his class! He does go pretty fast, as he is covering both beginning and Intermediate algebra. He will answer questions and re-explain on the spot. He knows where all of the great resources are for more practice and study. Very personable and approachable. I want to take his college algebra class next
He's an awesome teacher and does not give you anything difficulty to work on. Anything you dont understand or if hes going too fast, just tell him. He will slow down and go over it again to be sure you understand it before you leave the class. He review with his students before the quiz. Which helps alot. I would totally recommend.
He is very helpful if you are having a problem in his class.
He is literally the best math teacher I have ever taken and I plan to take him again for my next math course. I highly recommend him to someone with a busy schedule.
professor hussain is by far the best teacher i have ever had i failed intermediate algebra 3 times before i was able to get into his class passed it the first time with a b then passed college algebra with a b he is very helpful and he wants you to succsede in life if you fail his class its because you just flat didnt do any of the work
I have taken Dr. Kattab for all of my classes and he is seriously the best math teacher I have ever had. If you don't understand it he will help you and try to explain it in a different way for you. He is amazing and so patient, I recommend him to everyone!
He's Amazing.
He wants his students to pass. Actually a decent guy. He does go fast, so show up for class! If he knows u r trying he will do everything in his power to help. He will have many resources available for study and review. Absolutely a great instructor and I totally recommend him.
Best Math Teacher I have ever had not only at TCC but all my life. I have taken Statistics with him in Summer 2017 and without his help I would not have passed this class. Very helpful, very caring. I will take him for any math class.
By far one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I was not one that liked math but after taking Dr. Khataab my view of math has changed. He made things simple and easy to understand and if you don't understand something right off he has no problem simplifying it. He also helps a lot during his office hours if you're lost on something.
By far is the best math teacher all my life, high school and college. He has a great pleasant personality, patient, caring, and very knowledgeable. I will take him again and again. If you fail his class, it is because of you. Highly recommended!!!!!!
Best Helping Professor Ever very caring and helpful if you have any questions and test are easy as long as you study best math teacher and i will be taking him for any math related courses and anything else he teachers the best math teacher
He is a great teacher! Very willing to help you just need to ask. Homework isn't that hard. Tests are easy if you study for them. He gives out study guides and works them with the class so you know what he's looking for. I would 100% take him again!
Easy class if you do your work! he is fixable and gives a lot of chances. I would defiantly take again.
by far one of my most favorite professors i have ever had. he cares so much about your success. his tests are very similar to the study guide although you do need to study. it is easy to do well. He is very easy to communicate with and is understanding if something comes up. he is quit funny also! by far 10/10
I agree with all students who rated Dr. Khattab that he is the best math teacher not only at TCC but all my life. I took two classes with him so far, and now I love math so much because of him. I will take him again and again and again. Very much recommended.
AMAZE
He's beautiful
He is amazing! He cares about his students and shows patience and compassion!
Hes very hard to understand because language barrier. However if you pay attention its not that hard. Gives extra credit. You can get 100% on every homework assignment. No pop quizzes. Will reopen closed assignments if you didnt get to finish them. Hell stay after class and help you if you need it
Prof gives you alot of time to finish assignments, easy A. Test can very on difficult, some problems he assigned on the study guide didn't correlate with the test, UNLESS you did the homework and actually understood the section. He didnt reply back to any of my emails but which was a bummer, but it could just be me.
WOW literally could not have picked a better teacher! He really knows his stuff and he cares about his students. Homework, quizzes and tests are online. in total you can get about 25 points extra credit but you wont need them because you can get 100% on HW and quizzes. Most of the work can be done in calculator which makes tests pretty easy too.
Gives about 20-25 points extra credit. Pretty easy homework and quizzes. He goes through the exam before the exam which makes it much easier to do well on the exam. Will work with you. Great Professor.
I took this class over the summer. He has good reviews which is why I am shocked. Be prepared to be patient, he is almost always late to class, sometimes 15min. He doesn't release power points until right before class per chapter so you can't print them off. He sends emails making fun of students who asked for more time to complete homework.
Gives plenty of chances if you don't finish by the due date!
One of the best math professors at TCC. All of the homework was online, which was nice. I enjoyed his class and his fun personality. At first, I was concerned about taking PreCalc I&II at the same time, but it wasn't hard at all. If you have to take all 3 Calculus classes, take PreCalc I&II at the same time, it will prepare you for Calculus!
I really enjoyed Prof Khattab's Pre-Calculus class. He made it fun and easy to understand. I highly recommend him for any Math classes!
Great guy, super funny and straight up to your face! HE WANTS TO HELP. Take advantage of his help hes very caring! try your best and you will suceed in his class, hes always a couple mins late to class also!
Mr. Khattab is the best Maths professor I ever learned from. He will make you learn the toughest topics very easily with tricks. Lots of extra credits and exams are easy. You won't find any other Maths professor as good as him. If you show up, pay attention and do your best, it's an easy A. He is a rare gem.
DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOURE A MATH/ENGINEERING MAJOR!!! Hell make sure you pass & you will, as long as you do the work. But he does not prepare you properly for calc 2 & beyond. Ive had to retake calc 1 to learn what I should already know. If I werent a math major, hed have been great to just get through the class. Unfortunately, I need this.
I took Dr. Khattab for Calculus (I) and he was amazing. He is the best math teacher I ever had. He prepared me well for calculus (II), especially that I am a math major. He is very patient, caring, understandable. His lectures are very enjoyable. I wish he teaches calculus II so I will take him again and again.
I've been avoiding pre calc for the longest time. Turns out its actually one of my easier classes. Dr. Khattab has a great way of teaching to where its easy to understand and also offers extra credit if you do the study guide before the test. If you go to class and listen you'll pass with flying colors. I really enjoyed his class and he's hilarious
LOVE HIM! Math is never my thing and I never really was good with numbers. But with Professor Khattab, you understand things clearly, and if you don't get something, he is more than happy to help. He wants ALL of his students to succeed and you see that.
Wonderful professor! I previously took pre calc class a year ago and made a D, Im taking Khattabs summer class and I have an A. He has clear expectations and gives you a study guide exactly like the test. He teaches you how to use your calculator and gives extra credit. Show up, do your work, study a little for tests and youve got an A!
I took the Elementary Statistics course with professor Khattab. I honestly found the course so easy because of my extra efforts at home. He was confused most of the time with the material and did not explain things based on logic he just read from the powerpoint.95% of the time he came late! I wouldn't recommend him for this course.
One of the best. I took his Summer 2019 Statistic and he was phenomenal. He very well explains the concepts. He care for his students and wants them not only to succeed but also with a decent grade. I wish he teaches other courses so I can take him again and again.
I just finished his Summer 2019 Elementary Statistics Class. I took this course once before and I got a "D" so this my second time and I got a "B". He explains the material very well. Very organized. He cares for his students. He is one of the best teachers at TCC. I will take him again.
I was so scared of taking a statistics class because I had always heard that it was extremely difficult. I just finished Professor Khattab's summer course and he explained the material so well that I actually finished the class with a clear understanding of what exactly statistics was. He genuinely cares about his students and their success.
He really cared that we all passed and was constantly giving us extra credit and allowing leeway to get us better grades. He goes over reviews in class and answers questions before tests and allows cheat sheets. He is super nice and he wants to help. I would take another course with him anytime
One of the best instructors I ever had. I wish I had him in high school. He explains the material well. Gives study guides before tests. Super nice and super patient. I will take him again.
Ive never been good at math but I did so well in this class! He gives extra credit if you do the study guides, which are super similar to the tests. Also the way the homework is set up allows you to have unlimited tries so you can get 100 on them
So kind and always cares for students. He makes sure you get good grades. Study guides are extra credit. Explains things REALLY well. Gives many lectures but you learn so much. Funny, kind, caring.
He is what I would describe as the perfect professor . Really wants to make sure you understand the material , and be able to apply it . Would take again in a heartbeat.
Dr Khattab is an excellent teacher. I would highly recommend taking him if you can. He is very caring and wants all of his students to do well. Precalculus is tough, and even if you aren't great at math, he will make it easy to understand. Gives study guides for tests!
I took Statistics class with him in 2019 for my masters' degree program as a prerequisite. He is a nice and respectful professor. He explains over and over again until students understand concepts. I would recommend his classes.
Professor Khattab is a good teacher if you've already taken the math course. But if math is a difficult subject for you, I would not recommend taking his class. He is lecture heavy and doesn't stop to ask if anyone has questions. He doesn't post grades on Blackboard at all.
Dr. Khattab is amazing. During this Corona Virus Pandemic we completed the course through video conference. He spent a lot of time lecturing and solving hard problems using a white board and marker. He also, provided us with a lot of resources. To be honest, that was a great and pleasant experience for me.
Dr. Khattab is amazing. He takes time to help you understand exactly how the math works; has the extraordinary ability to make the concepts easy to understand and memorable were you will learn it well. He is a fantastic teacher. He is kind and encouraging when he sees that you care about learning the material. Take his class!
One if the best math teachers I ever had if not the best. He explains the material well. He cares. Teaching remotely is not an easy job but he did an amazing job. He updates the grades continuously at Black Board. I am taking him for Calculus this Fall and I will take him again and again. Take him for any class he offers.
Dr. Khattab is the best math teacher you could ever find. He knows the material and knows how to teach it excellently. He truly cares about his students and works hard to see them succeed in his class. He is the best professor in TCC. If you want to pass and actually understand the material, he's the man.
Dr. Khattab is one of the best teachers I ever had in my life. Currently, I am taking a quantitative Reasoning class online with him. He is so organized. Every week he sends a reminder of what we suppose to work on. Gives extra credit. Update the Black Board every two weeks. Respond to emails immediately. Take him. I will take him again and again.
Dr. Khattab is the best math teacher I ever had. I took Math1715 (Precalc I and II) with him. I was so scared to take a 5 credit class, but never regret it. I wish I had taken all classes with him. Very organized. Excellent lecturer. Gives study guide for all exams and extra credits. Above all he is very caring. I will take any class he offers
I am taking Quantitative reasoning with Dr. Khattab this semester. This is my first course with him. I love his way of teaching. He goes the extra mile to help. Very clear and organized syllabus. Always update the grades on BB. In a nutshell he is the best math teacher I have ever had. I will take him again. Take him you will love it.
I took two of his classes for the spring semester (Essential Precal & Precal) and I am so glad I took his classes. HW due on Sunday, few quizzes-fairly easy. When you do have a quiz you don't have hw. I recommend taking his class !!
LOVED THIS CLASS!!! He is so nice and such an easy professor to talk to when needing help with the class. Would take him again!!
Dr. Khattab was the best statistics professor I could have hoped for this summer. Each unit test comes with a study guide for extra credit, and all you really have to do is keep up with the MasteringStatistics weekly online homework and quizzes and you can easily get an A.
I love his class so much, he cares about his students and would help out anytime you need so you could pass his class.
I loved taking Dr. Khattab, he has a thicker accent and occasionally is hard to understand but he is very nice and understanding. Only had 2 or 3 assignments that were online and fairly easy.
Great Professor! His accent makes it a little hard to understand at first, but it gets better throughout time. He explains things well and simply where it's easy to grasp the info. He offers 10 extra credit points if you do the study guides before every test. Responds to emails promptly and is always available to help.
His lecture are easy to understand as long as you take note. He give you about 3 assignments to finish every week on MyLab, which are pretty easy to get full point. His quizzes and tests are easy as long as you do the study guide and they are a bonus points as well. And you can use your note during tests and quizzes.
I love his class. His lectures are easy to understand and the assignments are easy. His study guides are very helpful. You will pass his quizzes and tests with an A if you do the study guide and they are also 10 bonus points. You can also use you note when taking tests.
His online format is easy to follow and easy to be successful in. All homework assignments are completion grades, quizzes are three times each and tests have study guides that match the test VERY closely. He is easy to get email but tends to struggle getting the assignments online each week. Overall, he is a great teacher and I would take again.
If you have trouble with math, take his class. Works out every example problem along with you and makes sure you understand every component. Wants everyone to pass. I recommend taking in-person for this one. Willing to help after class and online. Provides extensive study guides for everything and even gives extra credit for completing them.
Amazing professor who cares about his students' success. He gives a lot of chances, and wants to make sure his students understand what he's teaching
He uses MLM for every assignment so everything is very straightforward and you can do things multiple times to make a better grade. He explains math in a way that makes it very easy to understand. Study guides in class go over the exact problems (different numbers) right before the exam. 1 homework after each class and 3 exams. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
Prof. K was a good professor. His entire class is him showing you how to do problems in the chapter you're going through. Then sending you home to work on them through MyMath Lab. So if you hate doing on paper math this class is for you! But if you're like me who just used Mathway the entire year, look out for the tests, they're brutal. 7.5/10
Great professor! Lots of work but if you put in the time its not to bad .I would recommend him if you need a math class. He is very patient and gives you opportunities to succeed in class.
Every week you have 2-3 10 question assign. (10 pts each) & 1 30 question quiz (15 pts each). Well over half your grade relies on 3 tests (200 pts each). I missed 4 quizzes/6 assign. & still finished with an A+. He doesn't teach, if you don't understand something you have to read the book yourself. Super easy A if you're already proficient at math
Cons Canceled class last minute often. several problems with his zoom and when we checked with each other in the chat if everyone is experiencing the problems he got irritated and said we'd have to have class even if we couldn't hear him. He yelled at the class. this made class difficult for mePro quizzes were unlimited. Calculators could be used
He is always willing to help on the assignments and homework. The tests are exactly like the study guides. Awesome professor. I would def take again.
Shows up to class late every time, hard to understand, goes too fast, unorganized!
Dr. Khattab is the best math professor at TCC I ever had. I took calculus I Online and he provides us with numerous resources. He cares for his students. He holds occasional ZOOM meetings to help us. Look for study guides for quizzes and tests in Blackboard. Take him, he is awesome.
Dr. Khattab was the best Calculus professor I ever had. His online format is easy to follow and easy to be successful in. Quizzes are two attempts each and each chapter test comes with a study guide for extra credit. Dr Khattab is easy to communicate with. He responds to emails in no time. Overall, he is a great professor and I would take again.
Professor Khattab is AMAZING! I don't know how anyone could NOT pass this class - he is clear about how to approach problems and gives homework that gives unlimited tries so you can really understand how to do problems without fear of bad grades. He's also incredibly kind even if he at first seems a bit unapproachable. Take his class!
Khattab is a great professor. He makes complicated math seem easy. There were 2 weekly assignments (approximately 10 questions each), 4 unit tests, a midterm, and a final. I had no trouble in his Precalc 2 class. Def would take his class again
This professor was great, he extended many deadlines if he felt the class needed more time. He also provided extra credit work in every unit. He does talk pretty fast and once you get used to that everything is smooth.
Dr. Khattab is an amazing professor. He explains everything clearly and provides many sources for help. Workload wise he gives out a couple assignments a week and does tests once a month. He makes you take the tests at home but makes you take midterm and final in class. Overall he makes math much more straightforward and better. Attendance matters!
The professor was amazing. He is willing to push deadlines further if he knows the class is behind. He also knows there are non-math people who have to take this class and it shows, in a good way. He lets you use his study guides on tests and quizzes and even reviews for tests so you know exactly what to expect.
Professor Khattab is difficult to understand due to his accent and is often late to class. He doesn't stop to check if everyone understands and just tries to get everyone out of the room so he does not have to continue teaching. He is uninterested in helping students. He is hard to get along with, as well, which is what gets him a 1/5 star.
Professor Khattab's MATH1513 class is a must-take. He explains concepts clearly and provides great resources like unstuckstudy ai to help with study prep. Workload is manageable with tests once a month. Attendance is key to succeed.
This professor is amazing and wants you to pass his class.
Best Professor ever! He's very caring and will help you if needed. I am happy that I took him for my statistic's class.
This man is a fantastic online professor. His Calc I class offered extra credit opportunities with every test, and he lets you have a full sheet of notes on the tests, which you take either at a testing center or at home with a lockdown browser. The material can be kind of hard but the class itself is super laid back.
Relied completely on MyLab with outside resources available. Study guides basically identical to quizzes/tests aside from numbers involved: allowed a sheet of information on all tests, so if you copy down the steps for problems, you'll do well. My class (online) was allowed to take the final unproctored. Just get your work done and you'll be fine.
Just don't, his study guides don't help, HW isn't worth anything on the grading scale, and you pretty much have to teach yourself. The only good thing is he allows a cheat sheet for the test
Your grade is basically how much effort you put into your online work. Super easy, and you can use cheat sheet on the tests which are identical to his study guides besides numbers!
he is very funny and smart! I would def take him again, he made learning math easy for me (someone who hates math). I recommend everyone to take him! He is adorable and wont mind explaining anything to you that you have any problems with. He does really love math and his job, and he is very chill.
BEST professor ever! You would be so lucky to take him especially since his classes fill up so fast! The 2 years I took him were the best 2 years at tcc. He is a very respected and caring teacher and the only teacher I recommend to take at tcc!! Tcc is so lucky to have this amazing teacher :)
Very good professor and person! I looked forward to his amazing personality and our classes, they were the highlight of my week. I recommend taking him he is the best. His tests are also very easy and similiar to the study guide while at the same you learn SO much from this teacher.
Math is not my strong suit. The study guides help a lot, but there are no lectures from Professor Khattab in the online class. It is all through the textbook and videos that looked like they were from the 90s. I found the class difficult just due to not being naturally savvy at math, but Professor Khattab was very flexible with deadlines.
Math is hard but he makes it so much easier! study guides before every test with the exact questions in the exact order just different numbers! Take study guide to tutoring center and have them help you then take the test and it will all make sense!
The class was not bad. Study guides were the same as the exams but just different numbers plugged in. Homework was pretty easy. You can take in a sheet of formula with you for the exam.
The online course is very much a "teach yourself" style which is hard if you aren't naturally good at math. This was the first B I've ever gotten in my life but it was more because it just wasn't clicking in my head. He did grant me the points for one question on an exam when my answer was just a few decimals off, so I did really appreciate that.
