Dont know what all these bad ratings are about. This professor was great! He scaled every quiz, test and even the final. And he gave extra credit which helped your grade.

Professor Mahmoud is awesome! I took his Math 105 online class. He's very caring to his students and wants them succeed. He makes sure you are following the curriculum and also studying!! he gives us plenty of time to understand the material. Study for your quizzes, tests and homework and you will definitely pass his class.

The work was a little challenging since the class I took was asynchronous. However, Professor El-Hashash scales both quizzes and exams (including the final) so as long as you apply yourself, you should be fine. He is very strict about deadlines, so make sure you give yourself enough time to get everything done. Overall, he is a great professor!

Mahmoud is awesome! He is very communicative, which was key since I took this as an asynchronous course. He is very clear about when things are due and what he expects. As long as you turn in the work on-time, he will give you extra points on tests and quizzes and the class ended with an average of 92. I would recommend Mahmoud to anyone!

This man deserves more respect! Never before have I had a professor care so much about the success of students to the point he was willing to move things around the syllabus so that we can do our best. Tests were open notes and I learned more here than i have in many other classes If you want a professor who cares about your success, take Mahmoud

This man is so difficult to understand, and he tries his best, but he moves so fast, especially with people who aren't understanding the material. All tests are open notes, but I barely understood his notes at how fast his lectures were. He also scales the living daylights out of grades, but that doesn't always help.

He is THE greatest professor I've had so far. Half of the class didn't show up and those that did automatically got extra credit, he switches to zoom sometimes just for fun, and at the end of the semester he brought my grade up from a B+ to a A-. Honestly, I could've got a A+. He gives second (and sometimes third) chances on exams & SCALES a lot.

In short, he was a great professor. He was very available when needed and communicated back and forth in a very timely manner. His class and his methods, as well as his lectures, made the class a pleasure to be in. I would highly recommend Professor El-Hashash as your first choice for any math class that he is teaching.

I struggled with math and got terrible grades but he scaled them so I could pass. He's very accommodating and always available for extra studying time and extra help and will answer every single question asked in detail. He's very friendly and easygoing. All you need to do is show up and make an attempt and communicate and you cannot fail.

Calc is notoriously hard. I highly recommend taking with Dr. El-Hashash. There is a lot of materials to be covered but as long as you stay focused, watch all the materials, and do your best. You will do well in this class. He also offers extra help if needed and does his best to make sure you understand the materials. Very respected!

More than half of our online meeting times were dedicated to administering open notes exams. The mandatory homework problems allowed for an easy way to bump up students' grades but were computer generated, making them tediously difficult and were completely dissimilar to the exam problems. He has a tendency to interrupt students mid-question.

If it wasn't for Prof. Mahmoud, I wouldn't have passed Calculus. He cares about students and as long as you reach out to him, he will not let you fail. He also scales exams so you get a better final grade. I recommend him if anyone struggles with math.

Dr. Mahmoud is the only math educator I have known who has finally helped me understand and pass. I have taken this class 2 previous times with 2 different professors I am an Iraq war vet and had some issues come up and Dr.Mahmoud showed compassion/kindness. Dr. Mahmoud, Thank you, sir!

I took a Calculus II with El-Hashash as a summer class. It was pretty intense given that the whole thing was only five weeks long. However I feel like he did a good job covering the main points, and he was very generous with us when it came to the grading. The homework assignments also helped with practicing the material.
