He is great, and very patient. Helped me actually understand algebra clearly which I am horrible in!
He is a very smart man, who knows how to work with students to make them succeed. Take any of his math classes, and if you dont understand something, dont hesitate to ask.
the best math professor. If u wanna succeed and understand math take his class
his a very helpful teacher, he breaks things down for you, and if you dont understand whats going on in class he'll help, a very good math teacher.
This is a good professor, knows his stuff, I took his math 14 class in the summer where we was learning 1 week worth of material in the longer term in one night, which was alot, but as long as you practice (doing the hw he assigns) and pay attention in class you can get an A, because this is the stuff that's on the midterm and final, and he gives
the worst math teacher ever. You can barely undersatnd him in the first place with his thick accent. If u want to learn something i advise you to aviod this guy he's terrible
BEWAre VERY BAD PROFESSOR!!!I dont know why this guy was hired he does not even know the material well and he's very rude to his students stay far away!!!!!!
He is an amazing math professor, I had him for Math 9. I have to admit when I first saw him I thought it was going to be extremely stern and but hes great, he treats you with repsect his accent isnt hard to understand either. He's amazing, teaches beyond amazing and if you need clarification he's definatly there. Great Professor
Professor Melmamed is the easiest Math Professor at Kingsborough. His exams are OPEN-BOOK, even the FINAL is OPEN-BOOK!!! I will be taking him again for Math 9.
One of the best professors in kcc, he knows how to teach, he is funny and easy going. don't get me wrong - you need to work hard for your grade! also, his accent is not as bad as it sounds at the first moment. everybody can understand him. i will definitely recommend him to friends.
A very good Professor. I got A+ with min of study.If u pay attention during the class u can pass easily Math 14. His accent is not that bad at all as some claim. He doesnt talk that much anyway, most of his lecture he writes on a blackboard.
He's a really good math professor. If you've seen what kbcc has to offer on math professors, you'll understand. He teaches math in a way that's easy to understand. There's little to no confusion in his class.
This guy is an amazing professor. He presents his work in a very clean and clear manner, it's hard not to understand what he's teaching. His russian accent is not that thick, it's just right. He gives out a review sheet before exams. If you do your HW and review sheets, the exams are a piece of cake.
very good professor, explains extremely well just do his review sheets and pay attention in class you will get an A
Very helpful! If you need to pass the compass take his class!
HE'S THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR THAT ANYONE CAN HAVE. HE'S FUNNY AND SACARASTIC AT TIMES. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND A MATH PROBLEM, HE DOESN'T HESITATE TO EXPLAIN. IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND STUDY HIS REVIEW SHEET, YOU DEFINITELY PASS THE MATH COMPASS. I KNOW I DID.
i like him
I had this professor when i started at kingsborough for my compass exam i had to drop his class due to family issues. I took my compass twice and i never passed it but when i finally got took him again this past semester i passed with a 79 when i was only suppose to get a 45.This professor i know in my heart wants a student to learn. Awesome/Thanks
I always thought I was bad at math because of the teachers. I realized after taking his class, it was me all along that was weak at math, but he was the first math teacher in my entire life to actually get through to me. Not only was he extremely helpeful, he also had a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you Professor Melamed!!! You are the best!
This is the best math teacher/professor I've ever had. Everything is understood well. Highly recommend him if you want to pass COMPASS.
i have failed math for years prior to coming to this class. Mr.Melamed taught extremely easily and understandable hes one of the best math teachers ive come across.
He is a GOOD teacher
Best Math professor that I've ever had!
He's so funny! "Good morning people," "You know know this from pervious experience people," "What is 2 to the 4th power people?" "Ok people, we don't have all day." "we went over almost all the hw problems people, if you don't understand, go to tutoring people".
This guy is a great professor. He is very clear and descriptive with his lessons. The dictation that he gives us is amazingly on point. I wish he was able to be my professor for MAT 10, 14 and 15. But unfortunately he isn't teaching in the winter, but will def try to get him for Mat 15! Highly recommend him if you really want to learn your math!
He is one of the best!!! I wish to be in his class again
It's a Math class if Math isn't one of your strongest categories it will require a lot of work on your part. The professor is very cool and I laughed several times throughout the semester IN A MATH CLASS. He explains everything in detail and is always helpful when you ask questions even if he has to repeat himself.
Very very nice prof. Explain everything. Easy to understand! He cares that you pass the class with good grade.
Excellent teacher. Makes u laugh at the same time and teaches in the easiest way. You will pass!!! If u do homework
The best math. professor in KCC!!! Take him and you will survive math
AWESOME Professor! Math isn't my best subject but he's extremely helpful and explains perfectly.
Math is a difficult subject, and I didn't think he helped in explaining some of the material well. I wouldn't recommend taking him if math isn't one of your strong points
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR!!! Highly recommend him. I admit, I am not the brightest when it comes to any kind of mathematics but he made the work soo simple. He is VERY HELPFUL and works hard to make sure his students pass!
this guy knows how to presents maths to students . Pay attention do home and you will do fine on the test
He knows how to teach math, He does a great job explaining how the math is done and how math makes sense. Great Professor, would take again.
I took Math 1, and by far a terrible professor. I had no idea what he was doing, and you couldn't even ask for help because he would get so annoyed!
Great math Professor, clear-cut from day 1.... Do the work and you will learn and pass (Gives hints on test content)
I like MATH, but NOT so CRAZY about it!!! Love him!!! The best!!! Just few Mandatory homeworkers. Save money, take pictures from the book in the library. Sometimes he will give you a copy
He is really good professor who always helps
He was one of my favorite professors this semester. I really learned a lot from him. If you don't like math he makes is really easy for you to understand. few homework here and there but if your committed and you get the work done there should be no problem. I loved!! him
i loved prof melamed !!! HE HELPED ME ALOT WITH MATH. ALTHOUGH HIS ACCENT ISNT GOOD HE DEF WORKS WITH STUDENTS. HE IS REALLY ONE OF THE BEST. HE WILL EXPLAIN AND GIVE YOU PROBLEMS TO WORK ON. HE WILL ALSO BREAK IT DOWN UNTIL YOU KNOW IT. AWESOME PROFESSOR. TAKE HIM. YOU WONT REGRET IT.
I used to HATEEEEE math until I took this class. It comes off as a hard class but as long as you pay VERY close attention and study your notes, you'll do great. He's a very funny professor. He comes off as strict but he just wants you to do good. Highly recommend!
I wasn't a good math student until I experienced this class it literally changed everything
Great prof!!! This guy helped me understand math and I would definitely take him again !!!!
Do not hesitate when you see him. He's the best professor I ever had. I learned more math in one semester than 4 years of high school with him. Very outgoing and really loves what he does. Got an A and he's truly the best and felt so confident with him. 4 tests, and drops lowest grade. But don't worry, the tests are super easy if you listen to him.
Best math professor
Great work
Here is the best Professor.
Melamed is the Best M1 math Professor if you don't show up to class you wont pass. If you have a question relating to Math he will answer it.
He is the best Math professor in KBCC. He has a very easy teaching style. I learned a lot in his class. He was the only professor who made me fall in love with math. Highly recommend him.
Best math prof. ever! I wish he taught every math course at KBCC. I dislike algebra a lot but he made learning at 8 a.m. so easy; thorough and clear. Light hw (rarely checked it) but does help refresh your memory. Good attendance is important. Drops lowest test score.
I appreciate Professors like him! He explains everything so well and makes the subject so easy ! 4 midterms during the semester were helpful to be prepared for the final . Really enjoyed this course !
After dropping 2 math classes from teachers that themselves had no idea what they were doing and barely spoke english, it was a blessing to have a professor like Igor Melamed. He knew how to actually teach math and made it relatively easy to understand what was going on.
I took his class during the summer so don't let the tough grader scare you away from his class. His lectures on the different math equations and rules really help you understand the concept. Homework is important so don't skip it even if you feel you know the subject.
He came off as hard at first, put in the effort, attend class and pass this course that people are scared of. Hey, ask questions if you dont understand cause he usually thinks people already get the hang of something when they dont. Also submit your Homework, i repeat submit your correct homework. His tests are harder, exam is easier.
This is probably the best math professor you will ever have. I SUCK at math and received an A- with him, open notes tests and he's very clear on what will be on them.
BEST PROF EVER! He is funny and clear. If you listen to him and follow his method you will love math. I am bad at math and got an A in the class. He is a hidden gem in kbcc and wants his students to succeed. He also does not check if you did the homework, but I recommend you do it because it help long term. His tests are very fair. He is awesome!
He is actually the best. If you get the chance to take him, DO IT. He is patient and will go over anything you need, but he will make funny little remarks/comebacks that'll make you and everyone laugh if you continuously ask the same question. While he technically gives hw every night, he doesn't check it. DO IT ANYWAY SO YOU LEARN! 100% worth it.
Very professional Professor. Very organized and knowledgeable. I liked his teaching style, writes on the board and explains very clearly, makes sure you understand material, answers each question, goes over before test.
Great professor who actually teaches and teaches a bit ahead which will be helpful in future courses. Is not available for tutoring most of the time, so if you are a student who depends on tutoring that may be an issue if you do not like the math resource center. His knowledge is impressive, very wise person, and gives great advice when asked.
Professor Melamed is so great, I just had to take him again. I took his R3 course (got an A) and loved it. He made me so good at math, Im on my way to my second A in Math! He may seem unfriendly when he first enters the classroom, but he is not really that way. Hes friendly and encouraging. Dont miss the chance to take him!
Thanks to this professor, I started thinking faster, which made me proud of myself. After getting D in R 3 with professor Melamed I took my next level, Mat 900 with him again. No jokes, I chose him again and made it for an A. He is intelligent professor with good handwriting (i hate when professors write on a board like students). Take him.
He explains really good, is clear about the topics and repeats until you understand, is respectful. make sure that you get on time and don't miss any class because is a lot of staff in every class. but if you pay attention and you do the homework you will be fine
I took this professor first time, he was teaching me R3, it is a super easy class, glad that I took in the winter session. He is amazing, I was surprised to see how many times he can explain the same materials to students who do not understand, without any negative feedback. Amazing professor, wish I could take him again for other classes.
professor Melamed is an amazing teacher. he explains well, and is pretty funny. he is very well versed in the Math, and just all together a good teacher. i would most differently recommend
He doesn't collect the HW but if you want to pass class but better do it. Great teacher and caring.
I would say .. he's the bestest ever maths teacher i've ever had throughout my entire life . I am really glad i had him for R3 , now taking MAT900 with the same professor and now willing to take MAT1400 again with him.
He is a really great math prof. Patient, kind, INTELLIGENT OMG HE MEMORIZES ALL HIS SENTENCES AND IF YOU ASK HIM TO REPEAT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE SENTENCE, HE REMEMBERS EXACTLYYYY WHAT HE SAID AND HOW HE SAID. hes amazing. Take him
Very good professor definitely recommended, you will walk out an expert in math if you come to class, ask questions(participate) he takes the class on a pace thats suitable and in that period everybody understands all the problems and how to solve them. Which is great this professor is hands down the best for math.
He is the best math perffesor ever!!!! He gives four test and drops the lowest grade. He makes math class entertaining and you want to go to his class. I will definitely be taking him again
This professor right here is the truth. He will make sure that you understand everything and he's super sweet. He's funny and makes class entertaining. If you need to take M1 TAKE THIS MAN HERE
Professor Melamed is amazing, intelligent, caring, explains everything and makes you understand it. Thnk you Professor.
i don't have words to describe this professor.. tbh the best maths teacher, he makes everything so clear and easy. Glad to have him for both R3 and 900 . Easy A
I took Professor Melamed for my Math R3, IT WAS SO EASY, just do your homework. Now I'm taking him in Math 900 The best Professor in KBCC.
AWESOME!
Hes a good professor, but the not the best. He expects you to know everything and keeps saying you learned this and that in high school. I personally didnt like his style of teaching, and I passed math 900 because it was easy! However, the good thing this professor does is giving homework which help you to prepare for the final!
He is one of the best math professor in KBCC. I took two classes with him. He is a amazing math teacher. He explains every single thing never says no. I love the way he teaches and his Technics is amazing. I really enjoyed by taking classes with him. If you want to get A and spend time with interesting and enjoy-full classes highly recommend him.
Everything was explained in a manner that was easy to understand. This is coming from someone who is generally weak in mathematics. He will start with easy problems and gradually progress to harder ones depending how the class is understanding the material. Highly recommend.
Pr. Melamed is my favorite professor. Iv been his student for two semester. If you dont understand or if you do not love math, choose pr. Melamed. Hes explanations are amazing. Hi shows each stop to solve the problem clear. He never judges you for "stupid" questions. He is very patient. Most of my classmates passed the math without any problem
Best Math Prof I ever had!!He is way too patient with some student, explains the material thats impossible to not understand, and in tests gives what was done in class NO Surprises! Take him you will not regret
hes alright but for some reason found it necessary to give a test the monday we come back from thanksgiving he rushes cause he thinks you know if ur really not so good in math dont take him
If your not good at Math this is the best Math Professor Hands down in KBCC. Enroll with him you wont regret it, I sucked in the beginning I didnt even know how to add and subtract negative numbers or subtract numbers, I was extremely bad. But this guy will get you through it and hes very funny. Hell break down problems and motivate you!
HEs okay professor had a friend of mine in the same class and she asked him a question and he had an attitude about it. Seems like people shouldn't forget what they learned from the other math class you had taken. To me that's why we are here to ask questions like we can't forget what we learned in math. lol but he's a funny guy nice sometimes .
Professor Melamed is great at teaching math. He knows how to explain very well and he will always gladly answer and explain any questions you have about the material and class. Overall, I enjoyed being in his class.
Prof Melamed is an incredible prof! He goes a bit fast but if u have a question abt a problem he'll be glad to go over it until u understand. The grades are based on attendance, 3/4 test (drops the lowest grade) & the final. Attendance is important & mandatory but if u come within the 1st 15 mins of class he'll mark u as if u were on time. A+ prof!
Gives great Advise and helps you to stay focused on your goals.
Always Helps when you need help cares about your grades always pushes you towards better grade,motivates you everyday you have his class.
He goes way to fast, if you ask him questions he'll answer but will rush it. He's lazy in a way, doesn't write notes on the board; instead he reads off a note book and expects you to take note for note. You will be participating a lot
He is the best math perffesor ever!!!! He very cares about students and always ready to help anyone. He gives four test and drops the lowest grade. He makes math class entertaining and you want to go to his class. I wish can take all my math classes with him!!
Ive taken professor Melamed for M1 & M2. He has a wonderful personality and is very clear with his lessons in class, he doesnt rush through and always asks if anyone needs to go over anything. He doesnt get annoyed when asked to do so. Do your homework he will randomly ask you for answers in class from the homework. Attendance is a must.
With M2 the computer test decides whether you pass or fail the course. This professor disregarded that criteria and created his own. He basically said if you do all the class work and score low on the final youll still pass the class which makes absolutely no sense. I will not take this professor again talks too fast and gets upset quickly.
Gets upset when you ask a simple question, lazy teaching skill, talks way too fast which makes it difficult for anyone to understand him.
If you want to fail take this course, talks extremely fast and hes aggressive when answering class questions. Very abrupt and rude.
Professor Melamed taught me for both M1 and M2, when I saw him again as my teacher for M2 I was ecstatic, he is not only a great professor but he is very invested in making sure you understand the course content. He is very easy going and will work to help you if you fail a quiz. He drops the lowest grade on exams as well. Great professor!
Excellent Prof
He is a great professor, took him for and M1 and M2. If you want to pass take his class!
I failed this class before. Should take Dr. Marder first time
I had Professor Melamed for M1 and M5. I was always pretty bad at math, but this professor made everything feel much easier to me. He is very good at explaining things, and he has more patiences than most math professors i've had in the past. He drops the lowest test grade, and assigns homework but its not graded. I 100% recommend taking him.
If you love math you will love the professor and his way of teaching, it's just so simple with him. He will explain every step and if you do your homework you will pass with an A. It was great having him, has a sense of humor and goes out of his way to help you but you must be willing to help your own self.
Thanks for being my Professor, what I loved about the course is, he cares that every student gets it explaining thoroughly.
I encourage you to take him, he makes math easier than the reality.
It was a pleasure having this class. I needed it just for the credit, however, I enjoyed it a lot. Everything was on point! Extra credit every week, a reasonable amount of homework, and great lectures. If you are struggling with math I would 100% recommend Professor Melamed.
Professor Melamed is an amazing teacher, he makes math class very interested. Will definitely take his class again. Thank you professor for everything.
He gives good lectures and explains everything thoroughly. Good teacher but not the easiest.
Good professor
Professor Melamed is very serious when it comes to his work and pushes you to do your best and gives credit where credit is due. And is very considerate and gives a second chance to make-up work to get in that extra credit.
If you need good drade, take him every week homework, but it's piece of cake tests are so easy 4 exams and one final
Professor Melamed is a great professor. I took Mat 9B0. Homework every week (pretty easy if you pay attention to the weekly material), 4 exams and final. Drops 2 lowest homeworks and 1 exam. He explains everything and makes math seems easy. I would take him again. Highly recommended.
This professor is rude, and talk to students any type of way. If you need help with work, just get tutoring because he makes you feel dumb if you ask him a simple question. On the first day of class we had a quiz, and he goes through classwork, and different sections like crazy. If you are not a fast learner do not take this class.
Professor is easy. He likes when people participate in class but doesn't force it either. Make sure you take notes in his class because they are extremely helpful. Tests were easy if you took good notes.
He was very easy
Worth taking!!!!
Great class! Low difficulty but very helpful professor. Used unstuck study alongside the free textbook to ace the exams. Definitely worth taking again.
vowed good recommend
He is a great professor and very helpful.
