Teacher was the worst I have ever had. Made students feel stupid and acted like we should know the material already. This was a calculus class not a graduate class! Average test scores were high 60s-low 70s-that says something about teachers ability.

I just wanted to join the band-wagon. She's awful. She doesn't "teach". When she does examples she skips steps, makes mathematical errors, then asks "do you understand" and when you say "I don't get it" she sighs like you're a total idiot and explains it poorly again. Also, her tests are much harder than the homework leading up to them.

Worst teacher ever! Half of the problems she could not figure out during class or would make mistakes, then give up and move on, although our test would have those problems on it. Skips steps, assuming we already know them, and gets very frustrated if you ask questions. I'd advise to take another teacher, or perhaps take a hit on your transcript

She had a pretty thick accent, but spoke English very well, so I won't really say anythin against her regarding that, however, a times I did have a hard time understanding what she was saying. She seemed very nice and helpful the first few classes, but then would become annoyed or impatient when people would ask questions. I wouldn't reccomend her.

I'll be honest, Hassani is probably my least favorite teacher at HCC. She is hard to understand, gets upset if you try and correct any errors she may have made, and because of the fast paced nature of 1147, she refused to go back over previous subjects. An "A" is doable, but you will have to work for it.
