Overall, a good professor. He gives an abundance of extra credit and really cares about students' success. Graded on Hawkes, 4 exams, and 4 quizzes. He gives practice exams and reviews for every exam.

Honestly, this class was kind of a breeze. I genuinely thought by seeing the first exam it was about to be the worst, but he gives extra credit if you record yourself during exams for extra points. Technically I never needed them because of a beautiful app called C**gg, BUT, besides the amount of homework given, this class was great.

Great professor! Really enjoyed this class. When you show up to class and study the practice exams, you will do great in this class. He is always open to work with students (extend homework, extra credit etc.). Class may seem difficult at first, but just do the homeworks and review the practice problems and you will breeze through it!

The professor is very friendly and does his best to explain the subject matter, having good statistics basics will help you catch up with his classes (for the initial calsses), the professor has covered the course in SAS, python as well. He will provide lot of extra credits and not a tough grader(appropriate). Exams consis of both MCQ and descript

Easy class if you follow up and use excel. He gives students extra credit opportunities and will help during office hours.

The course becomes so much easier if you attend lectures and use excel. He explains the material very well and provides examples. There are numerous extra credit opportunities throughout the semester as well. Also, the assignment deadlines are extended if you miss any.

This Professor is extremely knowledgeable about this subject, dont hesitate to ask questions, whether through canvas or in person lectures he answers swiftly and helps clarify the subject. Great professor but this is an earn your grade type of class, which isn't a bad thing for this subject.

Professor Fathi is an amazing professor. The content of the course is difficult at first, but after consistently asking questions and attending class it becomes easier. He is very caring and always responds in a timely manner.

I took Professor Fathi for both data statistics classes (DSCI 2710,3710), and he was the best professor I've had. Turn in your homework on time and he gives you extra credit, turn it in within the extended due date and you get full credit. He reviews all exams extensively before the exam dates. Exams are just like the review.

Professor was a very understanding professor. He takes the perspective of the students into consideration when it comes to deadlines and grading. His tests are very straight forward. Would definitely recommend.

He is a good Professor.

Professor has been very supportive and helpful in giving us the best knowledge of the course. He was available when we needed any help.

I took Data Mining with Professor Fathi. He provides lots of resources on using applications of the algorithms taught in the class but the initiative and choice is yours. Assignments are all group assignments. Choose your group wisely.

Professor Fathi was one of my favorite Professors. Very caring about his students and easy to succeed if you attended class. Plenty of extra credit opportunities and always responded to questions in a timely manner. 10/10 recommend!

Tbh at the beginning of the semester, I was completely lost as everyone else. Most people started skipping the class and then for the text review they were lost. I recommend going to every class and ASK every single simple or stupid question until you understand. The professor really wants to see that you are learning.

Professor went out of his way to help each of his students in class and he was very lenient when it came to tests and on the final, he worked with our schedule to decide when it would be taken.

The course content was pretty easy once I got a basic understanding of hypothesis testing. The professor cares about students learning and is fair in his assignments

Great personality. Mr. Fathi was easy to talk to and genuinely wanted to whole class to succeed

Very fair in every aspect of the class. Gave test examples and extra credit. You would literally have to not try to not pass his class

He is super nice and tries his best for everyone to do well. You do have to at least do your part of trying to do well, and he will make sure to help anyway possible. He literally will pause class and show everyone in class how to solve any problem, no matter how simple or difficult, on excel so you can learn. Gives plenty of extra credit randomly.

Do homework, understand the concept, and study. All the materials are given by him and all you need to do is putting values in excel he has given to get the answers.

Great personality. Mr. Fathi was easy to talk to and cared for the whole class to succeed

Great Professor and want his students to learn and succeed.

Such a caring professor who cares about his students success. Only midterm and final the rest of the homework assignments are easy and prepare you well for exams. Gives extra credit for attending class reviews and his lectures are very helpful but it is easier to look over notes and homework prior to class! 10/10 recommend he's the nicest ever!

Professor Mahdi gives you examples and PowerPoints to study. He's class is well organized and gives you important information in every lecture. His class is compose from one midterm, a final exam, 4 quizzes, and 16 homework assignments (from Hawkes). He gives a lot of extra credit for completing the homework on time and attending the reviews :)

He is a good professor and he has a broad knowledge of his courses. He also provide external resources to read. I leant alot from him during his class. He is a Amazing professor.

The professor is teaching with care and also give extra knowledge that can be used in the future career. He always focuses teaching on what it is necessary in the real business world!!!

Great teacher. Easy A if you just put the work in.

he was really good, every single question I had he answered. Always there to help and he really cares. I had 3 hr lecture once a wee, and I still really liked the class.

hes a good teacher and also caring. His lectures are good and the tests are easy if u study the test review well. TAKE HIM!!!

Professor Fathi is a great guy, really cares about his job. Treats students with respect. Extra credit opportunities are plentiful. You have to try very hard to fail this class. Fathi will guide you to an easy A!!!

Very helpful professor, as long as you try and do your homework you will do good!

A very caring and genuine professor; he's super nice and helpful when needed, and you can tell he cares about his students.

Easiest stats class you'll ever take. He gave 50 free extra credit points and had reviews that were very well done. Only downside was his zoom recordings and lectures were hard to hear him.

easiest A+ class ever. The practice exams are very similar to the exams. NO lockdown browsers. He gives out excel spreadsheet for every topic, you can just plug in the number and ace the exam.

I can tell that Professor Fathi is very passionate about what he's teaching and that he cares about you learning the concepts and how the material can apply to whatever career path you choose. There are endless opportunities for help and Hawkes is great because you can do examples and figure it out at your own pace.

The man is unbelievable, best professor I have had at UNT.

Best professor ever as he will start from scratch and will built the concepts by explaining the problems and relate it with real time examples. Intensive hands on sessions and lot of assignments, this helped me have better understanding of the topics. Lastly He also explained how this subject connects with job market and how to prep for interview.

As I heard from previous semesters, I thought this class would be a nightmare. Well, the professor has really mellowed down with homeworks, but he does expect the quality of the homeworks and projects to be top level. Be ready to work, no shortcuts in this class(I couldn't find them)

Be ready for a loaded coursework, Dr.Fathi is humble and cares about his students, but can also be a tough grader at times, he expects quality work and is willing to help us along the way.

He has immense knowledge, everyone can learn to their best from him

I would prefer other students to choose this professor for this subject. As the teaching was understandable and knowledgeable.

Dr. Fathi really cares about his student's success and does his best to prepare everyone for the "real world. He's engaged & has a good sense of humor. If you attend his lectures and apply yourself, you will get a good grade. He really just wants to make sure everyone is trying to learn something and putting in effort.

He is an easy professor compared to the complexity of the course. Heavy group projects but no peer review so be on top of your work in case u end up in bad group.. could have made an easy A if it was a 8week or 16 week course.. try avoiding 5w course unless necessary.

Professor is really awesome. Helped us a lot both technically and personally. Always ready to motivate us which made us deliver good work throughout the semester.Even if I call at midnight he's ready to assist me in all the possible ways which made me really inspired.Looking forward to working with you in near future. Definitely a 5 star professor.

Chill Professor, take a longer class 5 wk class is tough but you can do it.

Best professor in unt

The course curriculum was informative and the professor gave proper feedback and was interactive even if the course was online for me .

Dr. Fathi is a great professor to take because although the class material is heavy and there are many assignments, he provides great recorded lectures that are easy to follow and understand, aside from that he also provides excel formulas that can be used to solve the problems in the assignments. He is also very engaged and active all semester.

He is supercool easy A in the subject

The study materials were useful and if you complete all the assignments, quizzes, and exams on time, it is an easy A.

For DSCI 5180, study well for all module tests and the final exam, as there is only one attempt for all exams. No extra chances or extra time to finish assignments. The Professor and TAs are available to help during scheduled hours. But be prepared to put in extra hours to study from external sources if you are new to statistics.

Professor Mahdi Fathi is a amazing professor being a international student he took a great care of us and he discuss the future opportunities we have and also he is very welcoming.

-The professor is fair with the students by giving them a good chance of succeeding if they do the assignments and quizzes on time. -Made the material interesting and easier to learn.

Good content given by the professor which will be useful for the future courses and job opportunities.

Professor, Mahdi is one among those lecturers who is never partial towards anyone.

Professor Mahdi has been very liberal and always supported us through extra credits and assignments.

I enjoyed Professor Fathi's class. He uses a lot of examples and gives students many resources to use to understand the lectures. His class was enjoyable because he used today's world examples with his lectures. Online textbook was used and quizzes and test are mandatory in class. I would definitely take his class again. VO

Lecture materials were made available and repeated when required so that we can understand the concepts. Zoom hours and extra tution hours were provided to guide or clear the doubts. Guidance was provided at every level of project. It has been a great journey and joyful learning.

Mr.Fathi is very helpful and takes time to explain concepts.

Very great professor! Took this class online. He provides extra credit often and wants his students to succeed.

not a bad class, The Professor gives out a ton of extra credit. Make sure you look over exam practice questions. Quizzes are harder than the exams themselves. Hard to understand him at times during lectures, so make sure to ask plenty of questions. He responds fast to emails. Could've gotten an A if I had studied for the first exam.

At first I was stressing in this class but then I started going to online tutorials and it really made me improve! I recommend him because he reaches out to offer to help and gives out extra credit

10/10 took for DSCI 3710

Mr. Fathi's class has a lot of modules, but he gives enough time to complete assignments, making the workload more manageable. The extra credit opportunities are a nice bonus, as long as you stay on top of the topics. He clearly wants students to have a chance to improve their grades and encourages engagement with the material.

DSCI 3710 with Dr. Fathi, and it was such a great experience. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, despite the difficulty of the subject.

Professor Fathi is helpful and engaging. The lectures are valuable, even with the textbook. unstuck study and other study tools like ChatGPT helped me ace this class.

If I have the opportunity to take another course, I would definitely choose this professor again.

This professor is really passionate about helping his students. Lectures are optional but I would recommend going to really connect and grow you're coding skills. There was 2 major projects that were fairly easy but you for sure need to reach out for help. Quizzes and Tests were hard so ask TA for help or go to office hours.

Professor Fathi is very nice. He really cares about the success of his students. The course wasn't easy, but the professor explained everything very well.

I took Professor Fathi's class during the summer of 2025. He was very responsive to emails and was easy to talk to about any difficulties I was facing with the coursework.

Good professor. Long lectures but covers topics together within unit and really cares for you. Read hawkes modules and pay attention in class. He gives you everything you need to to compete homeworks with out any problems. Answers all questions and is really passionate at what he does.
