This prof has the students teach the class basically. You will get into groups, your group will go over the assigned section of the chapter and BOOM teach the class what you taught yourself. Expects you to know chem before you take the class and speeds over lectures. BE aware

Skip class? You won't pass.

He's very focused on his lectures but I think he does way too much. His icollege page is often crowded and confusing. He gives all of the homework for the semester at once, so beware of procrastinating. His tests can be stressful because of the lockdown browser watching your every move. But he's pretty okay. You can survive it.

His icollege has over 1,000 tabs, it's confusing & very unorganized. You literally can't review everything & don't know what to study bc it's so much. He uses 4 different textbooks so the chapters don't go together. The extra credit saved me. 65 points for lecture, 55 points for lab. He uses lockdown browser with camera, took his lab & lecture

He doesn't participate in any of the discussions!!!! So if you and your groupmates are wrong, you'll never know. He'll give 100+ pages for you to read, that's not including the 70 plus PowerPoint slides. Then the test will 10 -25 questions on it that's hard as hell and barely in the chapter. Do NOT TAKE HIM ONLINE.

Nice professor but lectures are extremely heavy. When you come to class expect heavy lecture with thick accent. His notes are confusing so you have to take notes in a way that you would understand. He gives plenty of extra credit. He is very accessible after class. 4exams 4quiz all Lock down browser. He gives lots of easy extra credit. take him

Dr. Atteya really cares about the success of his students. He gives lots of extra credit. He is easy to contact outside of class. If you have an issue or need guidance, he will make arrangements to meet with the students to help them with any areas of weakness. He has many worksheets, PowerPoints and other things on icollege that help with tests.

this professor is more of a fast-paced teacher he really is good for fast paced learners. he doesnt really like going back and reviewing things that students need help with its his pace or no pace. if you catch on quickly hes perfect for you.

If you don't have a chemistry foundation, I don't recommend taking a summer course in this subject. Online classes have little to do with how good the teacher is and require you to take the initiative to learn. All I can say is that this professor's FINAL exam is hard, but he will offer extra credit.

I took his online for my Summer class. The lecture is heavy and a lot of homework. However, he gives extra credit if you really read the lecture and do summary for each chapter. His tests and quiz are open book. Only final exam is closed book.

Professor Atteya was a great choice for Chem Lab. His labs, quizzes, and tests are very straight forward & he gives a bunch of extra credit opps for students. He is not a tough grader & is very approachable. Some reviews mentioned his accent being an issue but it didn't bother me at all. Super Reasonable! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone!

if you hate chemistry, this class is for you, he makes you love it and gives good grades. he listens to your problems and makes accommodations for you, just communicate with him and he is the sweetest soul out there. if I could take him for the rest of my chem classes, I WOULD! May God bless you Dr.Attaya!!!!

This professor has a specific style, but engaging with it pays off. Use unstuck ai, the textbook, and attend study sessions to do well. Expect a challenging final exam, but the extra credit helps.

I do not recommend taking this class with Dr. Atteya. It is very difficult to understand him and what he is teaching. The way he teaches is like listening to a robot. He is very nice and understanding, but his class is difficult to grasp if you are not already familiar with chemistry.

I'm making this because someone needs to make a survival guide for that class. He cares a lot, so you should ask if you have any questions this doesn't answer. But if you're in 1151L, only download the .docx, use it for your lab data, then write a lab report that mimics the ones he has posted. Paste your data into your report. Also, don't be late.

This instructor's teaching and grading are inconsistent. He makes students redo experiments multiple times without clear feedback. He instructs group work but penalizes similar data, accusing the second to submit of copying while the first avoids penalty, creating unfairness and confusion.
