Young African guy having big fun "teaching kids".Junior high atmosphere -homework check daily, name calling to "speak up", you can't hide somewhere behind chairs.But he is very polite, kind and hardworking.The material however is HARD, and without strong B in Precalculus don't even bother -you fail.

He is a fair professor, He knows how to teach but can be intimidating and can be cocky at times, but i got an A b/c i did the work. If you scare easy you shouldnt take him.

he is a wise guy , but he teaches you what u need to know he is not easy at all but you will definitly learn if u can bare with his smart ass coments

he's very intelligent, knows what he's talking about and always goes over things all the time. he's very concerned about his students. you have to do what he asks you do that is do the hw study..very kind and caring person. =))

The man is extraordinary and will make you feel like you've truly earned that 'A'. He's a bit anal about people not knowing their basic math and refuses to waste time going over things you should know already. He means well but can intimidate the weak minded student. If you can't handle him, you shouldn't be in college.

I took this porfessor and I found him to be very helpful indeed. I do recomend him to anyone who is will to work for his/her grade.

Very bright proffesor, but you must be on point with your work befor entering his class other wise you must pay very close attention and work for you grade. He is always willing to assist the students.

I really like this professor eventhough he was hard. He made class seem more interesting by giving different ways to go about solving problems. He is also real cool when he knows that you are about your work. I would recommend him to those students who really want to learn about their material rather than to just pass the course.

He is just Greeeeeeeeeeeat. If you really want to learn math as it is, take him.

i dont know why Mr. D got alot of bad ratings, i just had him this semester and i found him to be one of the realest professors i have ever had, he dont try to **** you or teach you something one way, he teaches you everything, the In's and Outs of solving math problems, this guy is a true professor. he might answer questions rudely but sometim

He is wonderful. Thoughtful person.

Tough but fair professor really cares that you learn math properly, very passionate about the subject, really loves numbers, will help you if you work hard.

You want know the meaning of Math in the real life and understand it, and also get ready to tackle any Math course at any leve take him take my word for it. Take him you find out the Math no longer taboo.

This Prof. is really good at breaking math down for the dumbest person to understand.The only problem is he doesn't encourage question.But he is really good he knows his stuff.You can tell he really loves Math.

This professor teaches really good, however he has very little patience for students that may not understand the work. After he explains, how to solve a problem, God forbid you have questions. On the bright side he explains the work really well and simple. He can have an attitude at times,so heads up. Overall he's not that bad he knows his stuff.

This Professor can make the dumbest person on earth understand Math He is THAT good. He knows his stuff and is a FAIR grader. He does have an attitude at time but, again, he is Good!

Doesn't allow questions, which is totally a shame. Teaches pretty well. Quite reluctant regarding is grading method, though. Because of the first argument I gave, I wouldn't recommend him.

He is a great linear algebra prof. Kinda has an accent, but it never bothered me, in fact I loved his accent, humor, and intelligence. He can really teach, but his test were challenging and sometimes had a few questions on things that were not emphasized in class. I got an A, and I really understood and enjoyed the course. It's a great linear algebra class for students that love math and take the initiative to open the book independently. Love him!

BEST PROFESSOR!! MAKES SURE YOUR REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. MAKES LEARNING INTERESTING. TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS ON THE TEST, SO YOU ARE PREPARED, VERY FAIR GRADER. QUESTIONS ARE ALLOWED!, BUT HE PREFERS FOR YOU TO TALK TO HIM ONE ON ONE INSTEAD OF INTERRUPTING THE CLASS,TAKE HIS CLASS TOATALLY RECOMMENDED!!

Great teacher ,he loves his job(math),he explains everything very well ,very well organized.If you really want to learn the course than take prof Diarrassouba.Don't expect to pass if you don't study .

If you to learn come to his class. all of you will learn a lot from him. I like the Professer. thank you very much.

This guy will TEACH you. You can tell right away that he's a mathematician. Doesn't teach by rote, explains mathematical concepts. I must agree that he's not so good about taking questions during class. Even so, if you're motivated, willing to put in the effort, and you REALLY want to learn, take this guy. Highly recommended.

this guy knows math period! now be warned if you are a slow learner do not take him. but if you really want to learn math he's your guy! just show up on time and pay very close attention. he dosent like stupid questions, because he breaks thing down so well you really shouldnt have any questions. he wants you to learn.

best professor that i have come across so far. he teaches math very clear that even i learned it. when he teach his math class he not only teach math, he teaches many valuable life lesson. keep up the good work professor, u have changed my life in many ways. i think different and even have a different attitude towards my school work. thank you

I took him last semester. His class was amazing. I learned enough to say I will be confidently set in calculus for life. A must take!

This professor is full of rigor and that is what you need in a math class. I called his class the MATH BOOTCAMP. He explains with perfect logic, but if you are a student that is not willing to try, you will not be able to get on his boat. If you are behind study the chptr before class. Cause what he delivers will stick for life!

He's a very wise and great professor. Even though he has a strong accent, his explanations are crystal clear. He likes his students to have very organized and neat notes, so they can study for the exams. Homework is a MUST. I strongly recommend him if you want to learn math.

He is so serious, simple, clear, funny, smart and he cares about student so much.

This professor is one of the best Math Profs at BMCC. He's fairly clear in all his explanations and HE DOES CARE about his students; only those that work hard for the class. He assigns a lot of homework. His classes are challenging and that's what I like about him! I'm taking Calc III with him next semester!. Don't regret taking him, he's the best!

I love prof.Diarrasouba. He is the only math professor i took and makes u believe math is a beautiful class. He is passionate,funny and well organized. He should teach other professors how to teach. Must TAKE HIM!!p.s. make sure you take notes, he use his notes for the exams.

a great professor helps his students when they are in need. he may not show up in class from time to time and disappear during test but overall he explains concepts really well. therefore take him! unless you're not serious about school then dont even bother.

This professor was the best math teacher I have ever had. He knows how to teach math. He attacks the core concepts of what he teaches in order to best prepare his students for transfer to a four year college. Anyone that is complaining about his teaching style is not ready to take his class( or college math).He knows what he teaches.

Excellent Professor. Until now, he has been the only MATH professor that teaches you very well, and gives you lots of real-life examples. He has a little accent, but his passion for the Mathematics is so big that it overcomes it. I got an A, but was not easy to get. Do your work, you will sure get one as well.

I think he might be the greatest math professor in the world. He's kinda tough, but his passion for math makes him an awesome teacher.

Very good Professor.

He is a great professor. As someone who hates math and never understood it, he explained it very well. I wish I could have him for every class. Truly an amazing teacher.

This will not be an "easy" A but if you show up to class, show that you are serious about getting a good grade, take excellent notes and STUDY HARD you will get an A. Math is my absolute worst subject and the way he explained things was clear. The rest is up to you. Good notes, regular studying and you will get that A.

He is very clear, if you don't want to show up to class and listen then don't except to pass the class. He prefers to teach through his lessons plans vs the text book. I bought my textbook and we still haven't opened it and there's one month left of school.

one of the best ever because he id no gonna pass you if you dont know

He does the real math. Not the online staffs. More you practice, the more you will learn. He teach us from the base of the topic. Really a good professor.

This guy is the GOAT I don't know about online classes, but during in-person classes pre-pandemic, he was the best. The professor knows his stuff, I see people here saying his class is too hard ... yeah it is going to be hard if all you expect from a course is to get an A with minimal effort. Take him if you're serious. He is very funny as well.

The professor did end up canceling a few classes during the semester due to many personal issues. Despite the madness going on in his personal life, when he showed up, he was terrific. He is more strict and demanding than most professors, but he cares about students' improvement. He was tough, but all he taught in class has helped me move forward.

this professor knows what he is doing. it is a fact that you wont leave the class with the same knowledge that you entered with. he is passionate, easy to understand, put in the work and he will even tolerate your bad grades. he cares about students, and makes sure that he spreads his knowledge.

Professor Diarrassouba is one of the few remaining math teachers who know what they're really doing. He has a great knowledge of math and he has the skills to teach it to you. But you gotta be willing to study hard and do the necessary amount of practice if you want to do good in his class, otherwise go along your path because you gonna suffer

If you don't take math seriously, don't take this professor. He understands and explains his lectures perfectly & makes any calculus questions understandable. But if you don't take math or the course seriously, & don't put in the effort, you WILL suffer. He expects nothing but the best but willing to make you into the best if you're willing also

I'm currently taking him, and he's a good professor who wants you to succeed. Make sure to review the lectures because there's a quiz after every topic. The tests are easy if you study!!! don't miss class because you'll miss a lot of important information!

If you pay attention and do the homework you will pass , He is an amazing teacher and he cares about his students

Take his class if you want to know, stay home if you don't. Not a class for autopilot or an easy A. He took me from Primary school math to the doors of Calculus in one semester - the GOAT. He seems harsh but he really just expects the best from everyone!

overall cool teacher, caring, helpful, and understanding.

If you want to get far in life, you need good foundations. He just won't give you good he'll give you a strong one. I can firmly say that what I've learned through him will support me in higher level maths. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN, TAKE HIS CLASS! If not for scheduling, I'd take ALL my maths with him. --- Merci beaucoup, professeur Mahmoud!

explain very well in the class. short but well organize. just focus on the class work. don't miss a class. best for respiratory math. I will take him for every math. blame yourself for lower grade if you don't do your home work. 2024 fall.

As my first math college professor and not being in school for 5 years since graduating hs, he was amazing , you can tell he really cares about his students and is really clear on what he wants you to do
