Be prepared to work. You earn whatever grade you get.
She is the most mean spirited teacher I've have ever had. Ask a question, a quarter of the time she'll answer it, seventy-five percent of the time she will insult you in front of class. I hate her! Go to Wang's class.
She is the worst teacher I have ever had. Not helpful at all, not conciderate to student's needs, If I was in control, I'd get her fired.
bad dub. bad attitude.
terrible
She is a terrible prof. She is mean spirited and can't teach the course. She seems to have no interest in teaching. Probably.... the worst course I have had at SMU. Course is very easy for a math course. She sucks.
She is such a bad prof, and the worst part is she thinks shes great. Switch to Lee if you have the chance!

This professor rarely uses clear examples similiar to assignment questions so you can completely understand your work. Simply, she's a bad lecturer and i agree with the rest of the comments listed here, choose another professor, Best thing to do

Terrible porf...........don'tknow why St Mary's still has the woman doing crap and calling it teaching. She is an absolute disgrace to the teaching profession. If u have a choice and u can avoid it DO NOT take any class with her.

Terrible prof. I asked for help and she didn't help me, plus made me feel like an idiot. She is a disgrace to the university - I had to go to other profs for help with my course. Bad attitude all around.
No Comments
Prof is no good. She doesn't give clear examples. No tutorials available for class. Very unhelpful prof. She will make anyone who answers a question wrong feel stupid. We approached the head of the dept to repor this and they thought we were jst ****in
Do not take a course with this professor. She is very unclear, does not provide good examples/notes/handouts, and blames the entire class when it doesn't understand something she did not teach well. Im an A student at math, duno if I will pass this course
No Comments
Don't even bother asking a question, she will make you feel like the dumbest person in the world. The death stares aren't cool either.

Saagh is by far the worst professor in SMU. She acts like she's the head of M.I.T. or something...but in all honesty shes taking a power trip in a intro Math class. I cannot beleive she is still there...I have now dropped her class...twice!
uuuugggghhh
Saagh was the absolute worst professor I ever had! She has some serious issues, she had an emotional breakdown in the middle of class when two girls were talking one day. She should be at the NS not at SMU!

Rubbish .. but the only good thing is that she relates things to the biz world

Saagh was the worst prof that I've ever had. She seems to hate her students and goes out of her way to make you feel stupid and unimportant.
She is the meanest prof i have ever had! DONT ask questions, she will rip your head off and if you answer her questions and get it wrong she makes you feel like s***!!! DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER! i did well in 205 but she makes 206 unbareable!
I don't really know why everyone hates her? I think she's a really good prof...she gives out useful handouts every class.. and we always ask questions that she answers no problem... I was terrified of her before this class.. but she's really not bad at all!
No Comments
While she occasionally will stare at people in class, I didn't find her that terrible. However, I did find that skipping class and studying on my own was more productive... and it worked well.
Don't pay attension to these bad comments. She's a little rough around the edges, but knows whats she's talking about.
She will rip your head of when you ask a question. One time she made a mistake she would not achnolegde it. Remember dont as any questions she will make you feel stupid all the time. She's a math genous and she expects you to be one as well.
No Comments
easiest teacher ive ever had easy a+. fun to joke around with and very helpful
She doesn't like to answer questions and she can make you look really stupid. Don't be late for class either. She appears to know her stuff however, assumes that we are all math wizzards. She goes over the material way to fast. I also found she made a lot of mistakes in her handouts and assignments and was always making excuses for it.
Makes a lot of mistakes in handouts, tests, etc and has a lot of excuses for them,such as her marker, even blaming the class for not picking up on them! She can be really condescending and even down right mean to some students. Don't waste your time, she is so frustrating!!!
choose Ms Wang, she is much better.
i like the way she teaches
Terrible, she makes so many misstakes that it confuses the students, students are always pointing out her misstakes.
Crazy Lady! When I had her she actually screamed at two girls and kicked them out of class! I barely passed with a D
Although she knows her material she does not know how to explain it in a way university undergrads can understand
she knows her material. but doesn't know how to teach it. i think she confuses people on purpose so that nobody will be able to know more then her in the future

i wont use any bad words or insults, that might make my rating seem like im angry because of a bad test or something i didnt study for. I do OKAY in the course, but man . . . . believe the majority of the ratings you see on this page
good teacher, tends to drift off topic every once and a while but shes a good prof. definetly knows what shes talking about
Really Really Bad... makes on average 3 misstakes per class on notes or assignments or exams, and gets ticked off when people point them out. She is nuts.
No Comments
She is a terrible mean spirited person... why would Saint Mary's let her teach here... she is a disgrace to teaching and mankind. Try to ask her questions during office hours and get shot down with childish arguing over nothing.
Don't believe all the ratings listed here. She is an excellent prof!!!! Only the whinning students seem to complain about her. Very nice person and easily approachable.... but don't wast her time with nonsense, she has no time for that.
are you kidding me? everyone does... its completly unexceptable for a University level course.
She is very rude and mean to the students and treats them like kids. she nags alot about different things. her exam taking skills are zero,9 page exam in 1 hour?? and afterwards she adjusted by deleting a question that mostly everyone answered. she talks about nothing for 30 mins(eg.why canadian thanks giving is earlier than the states) STAY AWAY!
BAD PROF...rude. There is no excuse for the way she treats the students. Not approachable. I am not whining..I got an A in this class, no thanks to Saagh though. Do not take a course with her unless you want to feel totally discouraged.
I had her in the summer and got a B in her course. Shes not willing to help students out and when you ask a question you can see how pissed off she is at you for asking even if it is a reasonable question to be asked. Not willing to help..she'll tell you she already taught it and its in your notes and basically tell you your stupid and not help you
When you go to her class be ready to feel like a stupid child. she doesn't like answering questions.exam skills are -100(second midterm had 30 min limit) she talks about nothing half the class(ex.bees,her kids,thanks giving,shoes) if you haven't felt like you want to kill someone in awhile go to her class, you either want to shoot yourself or her.
pls don't take this woman....wait till when ever u can get a better prof to take it with. she so so crazy ....u need to see the exam questions she nearly gave each question 1 mark each ..it was hard....am sure she love's to see people fail ....crazy woman....pls stay off.
I hate this professor!!
This woman is retarded dude...she is always so stressed out and makes it clear theres no time to talk to her and she doesnt want to hear it even tho its mostly about mistakes in her notes or some kind of error she made....the woman always always always has excuses too, never actually her fault....seriosuly i cant emphasize how bad this woman is
WORST PROF I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!
Hands down the worst educator I ever had the misfortune to meet. Sarcastic, condescending, unorganized, lazy, unprepared, incompetent. This woman should not be teaching.
THIS IS TE WORST PRO I'VE MEET.TRUST ME,DON'T TAKE HER ANY CLASS,WAIT UNTIL ANY OTHER PRO!suck!

she's ****
worst prof in the history of teaching, warning.. if you want to pass this course do not take it with her
Shes taught this course for sooo long now that she thinks everyone knows everything. She is hard to understand but somewhat nice. Avoid her if you can
Horrible prof, makes everything much more complicated than it has to be and spends half the time talking about what NOT to do instead of telling us WHAT TO DO, avoid her class
This prof moves through the material very quickly, even if only one person in the class knows what's going on. She definately knows what she's talking about, but isn't the best at explaining it. If you have a strong math background, and review your notes between classes, you'll do well in her class.
this course was suppose to be one of the most easy courses, but since i took this prof. it became the hardest one. her couese jump very fast. whether you understand or not. she just keep going her crazy talk. if you want to talk to her after class. "Sorry, i am busy" that is her answer.
terrible
She has no Tutors and has two days of office hours which consist of an hour each. Very hard to get any help from her and will not explain if things are misunderstood. Work is not very difficult if you ago to class, but she goes very quickly.
If you have to take this class, don't take it from her.
ha, shes pretty good, kind of weird way of doing things but those who dont understand suck at life
This prof goes pretty fast, if you know how to do the assignment you should be ok for the tests (there pretty easy if you know what your doing) alot of people in her class end up getting lost. She tends to give you a ton of information in a single class instead of explaining ever topic with detial.
Completely unprofessional
i took this course twice.. only becase i failed it the first time..this teachers great as long as you go to classes and prepare for them each day... also do your assignments an youll fly threw this
Alright instructor, but do you HAVE to be prepared in class. Posts powerpoint notes, but they don't cover much, so you have to get notes from someone else if you miss a class. Tends to answer your question with a question, so its sometimes hard to understand. Don't take her class unless you have a lot of time to devote to it.
Do not take her! She is crazy!
horrrriiibbbleeeeeee avoid her if possssiiibbbleeeee!!!she is extremely rude and ignorantttttttttt!!!!!
She is rude, not helpful at all and makes fun of students. Avoid at all costs! But if you cannot avoid her, attend all classes.
HORRIBLE! never had a worse teacher! avoid her if you can. woman is a cougar and makes everybody feel uncomfortable!
Why is this woman still teaching? Her classes make you feel like you are back in elementary school.there is no office hours,no explains. Something needs to be done about this woman. I can't believe she is being paid for this. Worst prof at SMU.
She is a prof who knows her subject matter very well, but she's not the best at breaking it down to a level so that students can comprehend and grasp an understanding of the subject. She should be teaching at the Master's Level, not the undergraduate level. I had a tutor and I still just barely passed!
****! Horrible prof! I'm an A+ student and have no clue what she's saying half the time! She won't help you at all! Her response is always, "try again" - I TRIED 15 TIMES ALREADY AND IT DIDN'T HELP! smu's business program has gone downhill by letting this **** teach
BAD BAD BAD, if you are an A student you will end up either with D or F...
This is a really good class. Im not kidding. If you enjoy academics and have a strong personality that doesn't get discouraged easily than this is for you. Because this professor allows the smart students set the pace, leaving the C students in the dust. Easily my best Math Class ever. This class made me like math more.Warning:Teacher can be MEAN
Stay away from unless you're extremeley smart and can "teach" yourself how to do the majority of the stuff on your own
most disrepectful PERSON i have ever met. laughs at questions, goes out of her way to make you feel stupid, talks down to you HORRIBLE! doesn't even explain the material but expects you to understand it within minutes! if smu wants people to have respect for their choice in staff, she should be fired! for her teaching ways and personal skills.
If you are a slacker and expect answers fed to you than you probably wont like her but she is a great teacher, breaks stuff down well, and will always help you, but she wont give you the answer. so do your work and you will be just fine. good teacher and knows her stuff well, oh and shes pretty nice too despite what else you read on here
She'll shoot down wrong answers in class pretty quick, and let's the class work through it. Go to class, pay attention, do the assignments and you should be alright. Everything she teaches is all you need for the exam and the assignments, it's all very linear. Lots of people don't like her style though, that's the thing.
Probably the worst professor in the world.

Worst. Prof. Ever. She doesn't explain the material clearly, is rude, and disrespectful. If you go to see her on your own time she'll belittle you and treat you like an infant, and you still don't get any real help. Avoid her at ALL costs! It's not worth your time or money!
Useless. Rude. Mean. Poor at teaching. Avoid at all cost.
Quite possibly the rudest, intimidating most unapproachable woman i've ever came across. Infact, she was so rude it was a distraction to my learning. Anything I learned I had to learn from others. Horrible prof, avoid her at all costs!!!
Her teaching is truly heinous. Other professors have said her methods and testing is ridiculous. A Dal prof said he doesn't even make his fourth year math major students do as rigorous a job with question requirements. Tutors have told me they have no idea why she's teaching us the subject matter she does. The subject is useless!
Easily the worst professor in the history of St. Mary's.
good teacher you have to go to every class though she has tutorials which are very helpful She can be rude, but overall she is a good teacher she tries to make everyone understand and holds review sesion for midterms and exams not on class time It is a hard class didnt work as hard as I should have but came out of it with a c but its a hard course
Milica Saagh is one of my favorite teachers at SMU. I like the fact that people who don't study outside of class can't come in for their weekly spoonfeeding session as she will let you know that isn't how things are done. She is very smart and teaches things most other teachers don't understand or take the time to learn. I highly recommend her.
terrible professor, don't take any thing with her!!!!!
This prof. is by far the most difficult person to learn anything from. I do believe she knows her stuff, but has no idea how to teach it. She is quick to belittle students & embarrass you in front of the class. Her notes are useless unless you have already mastered the subject. I'd avoid this prof. if possible.
worst prof in the entire world!
Do me a favor and don't take this class with her! She is extremely rude and belittles any one that has the confidence to ask a question in class.
Terrible proffesor. Also very sarcastic when you ask questions. She uses powerpoint slides for everything, this can be good cuz you can refer back to them and teach the material to yourself. The assignments are hard. I recommend you get a tutor who will teach you and not only give you answers.
There are no words to describe how inept this woman is. Yeesh.
Wow Milica, it looks like you take the cake for being the worst professor at SMU,...in history. Good Job , keep it up.
Milica you are a DISGRACE to any institution you are part of. She discourages students from asking questions and I've even seen her insult my peers in class. You will be remembered as the WORST instructor in the history of SMU..along with Paul Sherwood. How did you even become an instructor in the first place?? You just don't have the qualities.
"Run Forest, run!!!" That sums up my experience with her. She's nice, but she needs to find a new profession, cause this isn't it. I went from an A- in MGSC 1205, to a D with her in 1206. If you like being absolutely confused & totally fustrated... then she's the prof for you. My dog Rover could teach better than her.
not as bad as people say. yes, she's mean but don't let that bother you because she CAN teach. all it takes is effort and attention to do well in her course. she explains things with clarity and conciseness. the assignments are tough so attend tutorials or email her, that way you won't get the full force of her rudeness.
she is simply rude and bad prof, prepare to teach your self, she will be so ignorant when you ask her a question, and her mid term and final were brutal that i failed the class while i studied everything, bad bad bad
Took stats with Saagh at Dal. Terrible. She is rude and snaps at students for trying to answer a question. If you ask for clarification, she gets mad. Her assignments are ridiculous. Just terrible.
She is the most terrible teacher I have ever had in my entire life. Not only does she make you feel like an idiot if you don't know what you are doing and ask a question, but she makes everything so much more confusing than it has to be. Avoid her at ALL costs. She's also quite bitter.
Teacher is the worse by far. I learned more from the tutor that I did from her. There were instances where she could not even answer her own question. Dumb lady. She should retire and work as a secretary for a hair salon or something and calculate the statistical proportion of clients or something... Failed
Just ridiculous teacher...
JUST AWAY FROM HER IF U WANT TO GET A GOOD MARK~~TRUST ME WE HAVE 60 IN TTAOL, BUT HALF OF THEM AFTER MIDTERM
I just want to make something clear. All the comments made about this prof is by 1st year and 2nd year students. So in short they need to grow up. When you are in the classroom you are expected to acquire knowledge and not judge the instructor as if you are selecting your bride. If she was actually the way the post made by students she wouldnt teac
I am a 4th year 3.6 GPA transfer student from the military. Most of the comments here have an element of truth from them unfortunately. I have seen her belittle students, roll her eyes, and treat them unprofessionally. I would not willingly take a course from her again.
Poor quality
She's a piece of work this one. Never witnessed anything like it. Completely mind boggling that she thinks its justifiable to disrespect and ridicule individuals the way she does.
This Prof is completely useless. Not only is she extremely unhelpful, but she is very rude as well. She wants class participation but when students give an incorrect answer, she makes fun of them and completely humiliates them. Also she will never admit to a mistake a resorts to blaming other for it. Not a hard class but Saagh is the WORST prof.
50 bucks says that last post was Milica herself! Everyone I talk to says shes a rude and useless prof. They aren't wrong. I'm sure it wont be long before she gets sacked.
This prof makes your life difficult. The material isnt hard but she doesn't care if u understand it or not, she hates it if u ask Q's & will point u out infront of all students. She talks crap bout HfxTutor & Mr. Amar(tutor) honestly the reason y she hate him is cos most pple who go to him pass. Honestly I did well coz of him. He knows what 2 teach
Definitely the worst prof at SMU. Her examples she gives in class are easy, and then the assignment are brutal as is her midterm and final.She says you can come to her for help, but then treats you like an idiot when you go.Half the class failed the midterm and wouldn't bell curve it when the average was a 52%. Avoid her at all costs!
So, I'm a 3rd year student and I've taken 1206 with her in the past. I'm sorry to say that the majority of the comments are spot on and reflect exactly how i myself felt like in her class...My GPA is 4.0..Her course is the only course i got a B in (ever). I literally had to study the material on my own.
Rude and makes students look like fools in class.
Extreamly biased teacher, she'll joke and be nice with girls but is rude and condescending with men. I think she's bringing emotional baggage to work.
Not rude or unfair. Points out if students get questions wrong, because what's she going to do? Debate it? Math isn't a matter of opinion. If you're wrong, you're wrong. Get used to it. Also, she is perfectly happy to help if you have questions outside of class, and the tests aren't brutal if you actually go to class & do the work. Grow up.
Ok so I took this class in one of her summer sessions and I found the class itself was not that bad....Milica herself was completely brutal. At one point she blamed students for not pointing out a mistake that SHE made on an assignment. I got a B+ in the course but not of that is a credit to her teaching style. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
I worked very hard throughout her course and ended up with a B. (no idea how, i got 82 on midterm and 97 average on all assignments). She is a grumpy feminist that needs to get laid.
Her assignments have mistakes, she teaches with mistakes and if you point them out she yells at you in front of the class. Then she blames the students for not pointing out mistakes... She needs to grow up, obviously she couldn't make it in the real world because her people skill suck!
I dont know why she gets a bad rap on here, she is a good teacher you just have to be prepared and pay attention. She is very attractive too.
Every time I asked this woman a question she made me feel like I was wrong to ask her, or to make me look stupid. I hated dealing with her. Definitely plays favourites as well. Avoid.
Very unapproachable, makes you feel like you're wasting her time if you ask a question. Avoid her at all costs unless you want a drop in GPA
This professor is among the worst professors at Dal or Smu. Avoid at ALL costs!It is difficult for students to pass a class when they have a professor working against them.
Not bad at teaching the material, but you must be willing to learn on your own as well. Tests are fairly difficult. If you can avoid, avoid.
she needs to learn some manners. You should def aviod unless you really want your GPA affected had a 3.4 GPA after taking her summer class my GPA is now 2.8. you can guess how I did in the course. AVIOD at all cost take the course with a better prof.
Condescending when talking to students, assignments and material have several mistakes in them. Avoid
RUN. I can attest to the horrors put forward in previous ratings. In one exam my bladder was about to burst and she wouldn't even get me a chaperone. There's a word for her and it rhymes with Hunt.
As most other people have said, AVOID this prof if at all possible, you won't regret it! Not to be rude, but she is a horrible teacher. She will go over PowerPoints, usually doesn't explain stuff in detail, ever. I'm not the best at math, but I do well enough usually. With her, I'm probably going to have to re-take the course next semester.
Worst prof ever!! DO NOT take her ever! she tells you to ask questions then when someone does she makes you look stupid and says I've already gone over this...i hate her not helpful in anyway should not be allowed to teach!!
If you want to be challenged and learn then she is the perfect prof. Attending class is a must. She provides you with a tremendous amount of help during office hours. Recently I approached her regarding family issues and she was extremely empathetic. You won't find many profs who actually care like she does. Show some initiative and you'll succeed
kind, approachable, willing to help during office hours and very understanding.She has very high standards and if you take her class you can expect a real learning experience that you can one day use at work. I am writing this comment 4 years after I graduated from SMU and applied what she thought us in her class in real work projects.
I take the subject seriously and study well- as a result, I did very well in her course. But I still dislike her as a teacher. She is unbearably condescending to those who seek more explanation outside of class, and becomes defensive very easily. Avoid if possible, unless you enjoy being treated like an idiot.
Material is challenging. Went to professor for extra help, and I was told that she is "spoon feeding" the class. Made me feel really stupid and not willing to go back for more "help".
Rude and mean but gets results.... kind of like Bobby Knight
Worst prof I've had my entire life! Rude &mean to her class, makes students feel stupid and is no help! Forget about asking a question, or going to "extra help" because there're aren't such things. I would not want anyone to go though what I did. She needs to be fired, or not work with students who are trying to learn. GET OUT while you can!
Not helpful at all. Do not answer for your question about assignment directly. Midterms are hard and not enough time to do them. Final exam is hard and accumulative.
Please DO NOT take her ANY courses,unless you want to be crazy!!unhelpful professor for ever.
Very brilliant professor, but probably the Usain Bolt of writing. She abbreviates almost every single word written on the board, and will not slow down if asked. She has way too many priorities to stay after class to talk to her students, and doesn't care much about her students grades.
WORST PROF. she is so rude, you can't ask her for any help without her making you feel stupid. don't ask her a question in class she will make fun of you in front of everyone. hard marker. do not go back and correct her on her marking she will take off more points... rather than give you what you should have gotten.
Everyone on this website says she's mean - and she can be rude. But I like her! She is a good prof, and she does get results. Our class' midterm marks were the highest of all the sections. Average was almost 80. She is moderately helpful. Ask a question in class and she'll go back and explain it again. I'd recommend her! She's great.
In this semester I am very happy to see that professor saagh is try to improving herself and try to answer students question in class.Though I agree with may be she is not a very patient professor before.But she is trying to improving herself and answer students question.Her style is kinda rude but not a bad person.Teaching stlye is brilliant.
I am very happy to see that though professor saagh is kinda of rude before but she is trying to change herself.Teaching style is absoulutely brilliant.And she also care about the comments with her and tye to improve herself.I am really touched by this.
I am a mature student, I have had plenty of professors in my life and I have never seen something like her. I have had to pay tutors as she is NOT willing to help at all, all the comments here reflect the way I felt when I asked her for help, she made me feel stupid and I really wanted to learn. Avoid her, she shouldn't be a professor at all.
She's really nice and caring but has a sense of humor that some people may find mean. Overall she's really not that bad of a prof if you listen to her and are willing to put in the effort you will be rewarded. She really knows Stats!
I was actually really surprised with this professor. She is extremely helpful and accommodating. She makes the most out of a pretty boring/tough course. Grading scheme is pretty generous. Having two midterms was nice to split it up. Overall I would definitely take a math course with her again.
horrible professor.....
I am a mature student coming back to university. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! For one, she's not very nice to her students. She teaches very fast and does not explain/go over how she got to a conclusion. The tutorials are not helpful, I hired a private tutor and still had trouble with the course. Tutor was awesome I highly recommend one for this course.
horrible teacher, helpless and rude.I take this course and almost failed midterm. After that I went to Ms Wang's class. She is soooo much better than her. Do not take her course if you do not want to fail!
if you want to learn and get a good grade, please do me a favor, avoid her!!!!!!
She is not very helpful. She is very rude and doesn't seem to want to help out her students. If I could go back I would take the class with another prof.
Her teaching method is clear most of the time and she does enjoy the subject, however she is very rude and will answer questions rudely. She is a very scary professor. I hated Statistics after this class. I recommend you not take her, and go with another professor if you want to enjoy stats.
One of the rudest people Ive ever met. not helpful whatsoever, condescending, and disrespectful. seeing as its the last week before our exam, she somehow "cancelled" her office hours, making herself unavailable and said to email her if you had any questions but to make them "small" questions. like what? absolutely do NOT take a class with her
can be harsh, but you need to GO TO CLASS and express a legitimate desire to work hard and do well in the class, she will accommodate you in every way, she knows her stuff extremely well and you can tell by the way she teaches as she provides the best/easiest explanations - ignore the other comments unless you're lazy and hoping for an easy A
Milica is a great professor. She provided all of the notes online and has a teaching style I really liked. I have taken 2 courses with her and succeeded in both of them in large part due to her. I expected her to be awful due to all the negativity on here but to my surprise she was very nice and had a sense of humor too. Overall I would recommend!
I've taken 2 class with her, and struggled both times due to her unhelpful attitude. She expects everyone to be on her level of understanding, and quickly becomes incredibly condescending and rude if you ask for clarification or extra help. Her attitude makes it incredibly difficult to learn. I ended up teaching myself using outside resources.
Incredibly rude, acts as if her only job is to present the material and have you learn it all yourself. Doesn't teach at all. Becomes incredibly self righteous and condescending if you ask a question.90% of commerce knows avoid this woman at all cost and now you do to.
Very condescending. Make sure you answer the questions she asks the class or she'll express her disappointment in everyone, but make sure you don't answer wrong because she will have no problem making you look like an idiot in front everyone in your class while at the same time not helping you reach an answer. Most stuck up prof I've ever had.
She was the only pro who taught MGCS 1206. I have to choose her class. She is the worst pro I ever had. She didn't teach us however just do the question over and over again. She doesnt want to help student to learn at all. She makes this class difficult. Do not take class with her!!!!!
Terrible Terrible Terrible !! Stay away !! This class is a nightmare. She makes you feel stupid and many say "no question is a stupid question" well that does not apply to her. She does not want to help. It is basically throw examples on the board and teach yourself. how is she still teaching ???
she is really difficult but if you know what ur doing its easy to pass the course
She must be the most condescending professor to ever exist. Her lectures are detailed and clear however don't bother asking any questions she makes you feel like an idiot. She is a hard grader, but does teach reasonably well. Her bad attitude and condescension is enough to lower the spirits of anyone :(
Please avoid this professor at all costs, unless you want to be constantly belittled, stressed and be unable to live up to unattainable standards. This women is incredibly rude and unhelpful, and don't go to office hours unless you want your head bitten off! This woman doesn't seem to understand that she is teaching us new material.
DO NOT. I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A SUMMER COURSE! unless you want to see your GPA sharply drop. This is class will make you cry tears of blood and this teacher doesn't care in the slightest. Condescending to the umpf degree. Don't make the mistake I made EVEN IF you think you're good in math. Do this in a regular semester and not with her!!!!
She is the WORST prof I have ever seen in SMU! Not helpful AT ALL and she is a tough marker. Sometimes she DOES NOT respect students (I mean RUDE) during lectures. The final she had was tricky, the materials that she did not teach a lot (which should be considered relatively not important) were in the final. I WONT have ANY of her courses again!
She is an amazing prof, you just have to go to class and make sure you're on top of your work. Get personality. I've read comments about her before on rate your prof, but you just got to get to know her she is actually awesome! Really recommend her, you just have to be on top of your work. :)
She is the worst. LOL If you're good at math, good for you, but it will still be challenging. She expects you to know and remember all high school material, so come prepared. If you're a transfer or mature freshman, do NOT pick her as a prof. Good luck.
She would get too involved in students personal matters, pick people out, has favourites and people she hates (especially if you miss one lecture). For however many years she taught, her methods are completely unorganized and doesn't get into detail, if you ask for help, she'll single you throughout class to see if your following. -_-
Overall terrible prof. Very rude and if you ask a question expect to be belittled.
If she sees that you are willing to put in the work, she will be more than helpful. Do not let these rates determine how the course is going to be. I dreaded taking this course due to the reviews but ended up really liking her and doing really well. She is quite harsh sometimes but I really just think that its her personality
not sure why she is still teaching. she is a control freak. make sure to follow her rules - there are lots of them. get on her favourite side and you will pass.
Took her for summer semester for MGSC 1206 and got an A+. She's tough, so you need to pay very close attention, stay on top of things and practice a lot. It honestly wasn't so bad.
I hated this prof at first, she was rude, called people out and made you feel stupid if you ask questions. but I looked passed those things and realized she wasn't bad at teaching stats. (horrible personality, ok teacher) Go to class and pay attention. do not miss any classes. I didn't use a textbook
Not the worst in terms of lectures and practise problems, but she represent everything wrong with modern day proffs. By far in my 3 years at Smu she is the coldest, rudest professor I have ever had! Even though I got on well with her, she would constantly degrade other students and her own vigilators( for exams).
She is very mean when asking questions in class... she does not provide enough examples or notes to truly understand this course. Lots of teaching yourself for her classes!
I hate to be so negative about someone, but she is the worst prof I have ever had. Her explanations of the content make no sense at all, and makes no effort to actually help you. She makes snide comments if you say something not 100% correct. She constantly makes mistakes with numbers that have to be corrected by the students. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!
Hands down the worst prof at SMU. I don't even understand how she is considered to be human. If you like to ask questions in class, don't. When asked a question she belittles you and says "I don't feel like answering that right now". She is scary, mean, rude, and disrespectful.
Very rude and hateful professor,I never said anything to her the whole semester due to me not wanting for her to roast me infornt of my class,then in the final exam I never received a formula sheet and but still had one on the front of the exam,and when I passed in my exam she said where is your formula sheet,and then got roasted for not having one
Saagh is a VERY rude professor. She is the first professor I've ever had that didn't care about her students. If you try to ask a question she'll treat you as if you're stupid. It's impossible to understand the course content without extra help from a tutor or a high school course. Only perk she said upfront that you don't need the textbook.
For a professor at Saint Mary's teaching in a department of professional studies, Milicia has got to be by far the most unprofessional person I have had to deal with. Class after class she fails to teach anything about the subject material which forces me to regularly seek a tutor outside of class, and puts down any student who asks a question.
First interaction with her, I was told it's a "simple yes or no answer", when I took longer than 2 seconds answering. Felt uncomfortable raising my hand for anything. She would frequently make students feel stupid. Answer keys are riddled with mistakes and miscalculations. Her TA's are extremely difficult markers. Often felt sad/discouraged. DON'T
Consider this. When asked what the last test's average was by one student, she said "Something around 59%, but if you get rid of the 15+ outliers under 10%, it would be much higher..." She then focused on one student who scored over 100%. If that many people are failing miserably, and not attending class, it should tell you something. Terrible.....
Too bad to take her course, doesn't even allow students to go to washroom during class, she locked the door after a student went to washroom, and told a student not to come to class when he has a cold
Stats is the second highest failed course at SMU, and Milica does not make it any easier. I took her summer course and within 3 lectures dropped because she really doesn't connect well with students. She is very pre-occupied and honestly I am surprised she keeps getting offered spots to teach. Take Eric Lee or Vanita Mishra if you have the option.
Classes are sometimes downright uncomfortable depending on her mood that day. Can seem condescending. That said, she gives you what you need to get an A. Up to you to attend, take notes, and practice material.
Very good prof. go to class and you will pass
I have had two courses with her. MSGC courses are hard if you had no calculus experience. You have to pay close attention, study, and do everything in your power not to miss class time. I have enjoyed this class. BTW know how to do a hypothesis test on a proportion by midterm.
Maybe it's just me but she looks like she's always holding back the Hulk's rage. It's almost as if she's trying her best not to lash out at you. Makes communication in class a lot harder. Fails to fully explain the content. Has a sense of coldness around her. Not sure why but I'm fairly positive she does NOT like me.
wasting time
Wasnt even my proffesor for stats and could tell not to take her class. She got mad at me during the exam and accused me of cheating on my cell phone when I used the washroom for less then a minute. A friend of mine with around the same GPA struggled in stats while I succeeded from taking a different prof. Avoid at all costs.
Sarcastic, Aggressive and very unfriendly. She looks like she hates her job very much in literally every class.
I started stats as a spring course to get ahead, during the second lecture I walked out and dropped the course. I cannot illustrate what a hostile environment she created in the classroom; she put down students who volunteered incorrect answers, used symbols I have never seen in my math career and didn't explain them, really seemed above it all
She's too forward/blunt with student questions (comes across as insulting at times). If you don't know something she deems obvious, she'll belittle you to some varying degree or another. Reads/makes notes off slides (don't expect exam tips/useful questions). Best bet is to get a tutor and read the textbook. Don't ask her about a tutor.
Worst professor I've had at SMU. Very rude and demeaning towards students. Most people in my class are scared to ask a question due to her snarky responses. She makes the course work much harder than it needs to be compared to the other sections. During our exam review, she wouldn't go over a question on a concept because she had already taught it
Absolutely the worst class ever!! This is my 3rd degree and for a 2nd year course this was the hardest course I have ever taken and she has to be the worse professor I have ever had!! Rude to students and makes you feel stupid
Painfully bad. She definitely knows her stuff but is not a natural educator. Fast paced lectures and her notes aren't very helpful. If you can take the class with anyone else, do it.
Awful, she makes everything way more confusing than it needs to be. My friends in other sections of the class with different profs are having no trouble at all, while I am struggling to get by even though I had a A+'s in both of the previous MGSC courses.
She is so mean. Do not take with her!!!!! I feel sorry for those of u who do!
Read the comments going into this class and thought that I was screwed. Turns out the majority of commenters are 10ply. Saagh simply says it how it is, mildly abrasive but not in a bad way. She genuinely cares about your wellbeing. She knows her stuff, I do find it frustrating that she uses a different set of tables.
Taking her class seems okay for students who can self learn. She seems to welcome questions and be friendly but it turns out not really. She does not explain things too clearly but enough to do well on Tests and assignment. Lots of pratice exercises are given but not mandatory to be done. However you really should do it so as to do well on exams
Once you attend all of the lectures, do the practice homework/assignments and do the practice exams, you should pass. She definitely knows her stuff and prepares you for what will come on the midterms and final. However, you do have to put in a good amount of time outside of class in order to excel. Overall, not a bad option for stats.
One of the worst professors at SMU. Took Quant 2 with her and was the only free class for Stats. Very disrespectful and condescending. Wouldn't recommend taking any course with her. I have never seen a professor treat students the way she does.
Worst Quant 2 prof in the world. would not recommend.
Disrespectful and condescending to students. She's not very self-aware. Knows material well but doesn't know how to portray knowledge that to the class. Try to get a different professor for stats.
Worst professor at Smu. When signing up it was TBD but avoid if possible. I have never met someone so rude in my life, and if you ask a question she'll say something like "how about you answer MY question not your own". Expect to teach yourself or get a tutor as all she does is do questions by re coping them over the projector& not explaining them.
I am writing this review to strictly warn you to avoid her class ! She is very condescending to students and almost seems as though she enjoys hurting students feelings! Your questions may get answered but not without her belittling you! PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND COMPLETELY AVOID HER AND HER CLASS!
Do not put yourself through this class. Extremely rude lady who will literally call you out for coughing in class... She can't answer any questions you have because she does all examples from a answer key and doesn't actually teach the material. Online tests (weekends only) and assignments are not similar to class notes at all. Worst prof at smu.
She's beautiful, but I don't want to take this course again.
She has no idea how to teaching. A tough grader. Avoid this woman.
All these bad reviews and no one is taking action about her. She is literally the worst Prof I've ever had in my life. Frankly, SMU is a job. Her teaching is trash, the way she talks is trash. Do your self a favor and don't take this class in the summer.
Does not go in depth when explaining work, confusing, no feedback.
Definitely the worst professor at Saint Mary's. I really am not sure she even passed high school math. She will give you tests with no right answers to some questions but when you explain it to her she won't listen or she'll talk down to you in a demeaning way. Interacting with her will be the most unpleasant experience in university. Just don't.
She was the absolute worst teacher I've ever had and gave her students no respect throughout lectures.
Prof saagh is pretty good. She's responsible, covers all the expected material, and treats students fairly. I guess you could say she's strict but reasonable. The material itself can be hard to understand (the class i'm taking is quantitative methods, it's a decent amount of math) so you need to pay attention, practice and work things out.
Horrible, had a broken right wrist that required surgery and couldnt really get the last assignment done on time, didnt help me out WHAT SO EVER, ended up failing assignment and course because of it, hopefully the dean helps me out because she REFUSES to help students, at all..........
Marked my assignments/tests wrong multiple times, giving me failing grades when I actually passed. I would've failed the class if I hadn't asked her about my marks and gotten them fixed, even then she still gave me lower marks than I should've gotten. Not helpful to students at all, and doesn't seem to know the material very well. So glad it's over
The worst professor to take statistics with at Saint Mary's. They do not even follow the same curriculum as the other statistic professors. More concerned with ensuring that students don't cheat rather than that they actually learn something. Do yourself a favor and avoid this professor at all costs. Take stats with Dr. Lee instead if possible.
She is very rude and likes to hurt student feelings. This prof does not know her subject, all she does is picking up some questions from textbook and answering it. Do yourself a favor and avoid this prof.
Honestly didn't really like this prof or her teaching style. Thankfully I'm fairly strong in math as I felt I had to teach myself the course material.
Prof Saagh was the worst Stats Professor I could have had. Her lectures were just her assuming everyone knew what she knew, which made it extremely difficult to learn. She doesn't explain the "why" of what she is doing, instead she just does it and then doesn't elaborate. Avoid this Prof at ALL costs, or you'll need to study for hours to keep up.
She is the worst prof i have ever had. I was able to come out of her class with a good grade but not because of her, I had to teach the material to myself with the chapter notes. She is rude to students, hates questions and gives unclear test guidelines. Please try to switch out of her class and avoid at all costs.
wont even help you if you ask her for help, multiple times gave me sassy responses.
Awful professor. Can be very rude to students if they do not understand the material right away. Was rude to another student when asking relevant and important questions over email. Each lecture consisted of one to two example problems. Never taught any processes or theory about the subject.
Terrible teacher would get mad if you missed something and asked her to clarify and makes u sound dumb. Tests were not on anything we reviewed in Class she expects you to be able to combine different types of questions without her showing an example prior to in class.
The class material is super easy but she finds a way to make it hard. Shell make a clown out of you if you ask her a question in class. If you show up late shell belittle you. She gives multiple choice questions on tests where there are no right answer(this actually happened more than once and she had to correct 2 questions on the midterm).
I hate to be hard on a professor as they have a lot of stress on their plates. But Milica Saagh is the worst professor I have ever had. Non of her instructions are clear, and she is not fair. During tests she makes you upload a pdf of your hand written work, nothing else. It cant just be a normal file. She has no consideration as well cant teach.
She's the worst professor. she doesn't teach in detail and expects us to understand everything ourselves. Her online classes are not so interacting and feels like I am paying to teach myself.
This has to be the most unprofessional prof at Saint Mary's. - She will make fun of you for not understanding. - She will not explain what she believes we should already know. - She is ignorant of school policies (yes believe it or not, profs have to obey rules too.) My friends told me to avoid her. They were right.
The lectures are on average 30 mins long and recorded where you have to watch through youtube. She does NOT explain clearly, where she gets her numbers and expects you to know the information already. Expect to teach the course to yourself. I strongly do not recommend taking her class, even if it is online. Avoid this course with her!
If you can get through the course without having to interact with her you might be okay. Teaching is a very odd choice for someone of her temperament, she's extremely negative.
Awful professor. Doesn't care about her students at all and mostly doesn't explain anything properly. You have to find your way to understand the course. Piece of advice don't take any course with her. If she is the only option wait for the next semester.
I did not enjoy this professor at all. She does not explain where she gets her work from. I had to teach myself this course. Instructions and expectation are not clear, as well never gives enough time to complete tests. Also, she does not care about her students one bit. I do not recommend.
donot take this prof if u want to pass this course
No Feedback not clear
do not ever dare choose this teacher
Gets upset with students who ask questions, no interest in helping you learn. I honestly don't understand why she's a professor, she doesn't seem to like any of the students.
Prof Saagh assignments take a very long time to complete. One assignment had an error that was detrimental to completing it and wasn't fixed until a day before the due date. She is accessible outside of class almost all of the time. She isn't as bad as everyone says she is, but I would recommend taking this course with another prof if possible
Failure to understand technical difficulties that are out of students' control. Very specific expectations when uploading test documents that are unrealistic when trying to complete under a time constraint. If you don't test well you will likely struggle in this course as grading is made up of a total of 5 or 6 tests.
Horrible at explaining anything at all, if class is cancelled due to a holiday she posts a whole entire lecture even though there's not supposed to be class. Does not care about the students either. Try your absolute hardest to find a different prof as you will have to teach yourself the majority of this course.
Made me write an exam the day after my grandmother passed away. Awful professor who put 0 effort into her class and terrible person for forcing me to take her exam when I was trying to grieve.
Saagh knows her stuff, sure, but she is unable to teach the content. Midterm was nothing like previously assigned assignments, so much so, everyone taking stats this semester got their grades increased. As others have mentioned, don't ask her any questions or she will belittle you. Stay away from her and get your stats credit from another uni.
Dr. Saagh was not good at all, learned more reading the chapters and slides by myself then her explaining it. she comes off as very rude and is often confrontational if you ask questions or want help, really regret taking stats with her, especially how it's one of the hardest classes in the whole university, go take it with someone else.
NEVER NEVER NEVER TAKE ONLINE CLASS, WORST PROFESSOR TO STUDY WITH
Im convinced that every green review is by milica herself. dont flatter yourself there are still 140 horrible ones.
The worst professor I've ever had. She expects you to understand material that she doesn't teach you. She said in class that material to watch before attending classes will be at maximum 20 minutes, they were 40 minutes, sometimes longer. She has brutal expectations for uploading answers on a test with an unreasonable time constraint. WORST PROF!
Do not take her so many better profs for the same class do not get stuck with her.
Honestly I am only seeing bad reviews but she is super caring and always willing to help. She taught in a reverse classroom style so we were expected to watch videos before coming to class. I found the videos very helpful making it easier to understand the material. This IS a tough course put in the work, ask questions you will be OKAY.
Professor is extremely unhelpful and avoidant towards the students. I waited up to a week for a reply on emails and they were all a form of "deal with it". Assignments are long and ZERO extensions are given no matter what. Communicating with this prof in any normal capacity is impossible. She had zero respect for time and efforts. Don't bother.
Horrible professor with an attitude. It looks like she doesn't like to help students! She expects you to understand her lectures without you asking her questions about the material. Basically, take the class with another professor if you can.
This teacher has no care for any of her students. She only grades through tests. This term 96% of a students grade was comprised of 6 tests, all totalling 16% and only spanning 70 mins. It is impossible to recover and get a high grade if you have one bad test. She gives no extra credit and believes her 4% on the intro quiz is beyond generous.
Avoid her class if you can. She doesn't care about her students, if you have one bad test it messes you up for the rest of your marks, and she requires you to watch a video before comig to class that she says is only 20 minutes but its closer to 40-60 depending on the content. She doesn't explain things well and expects you to just know it.
Worst prof I've had at smu
Not good at all, avoid any class with her if you can. She expects you to just know everything and will be really condescending when you ask questions. She has typos and mistakes in her slideshows all the time and just laughs it off but when a student makes a mistake she gets really passive aggressive. Absolutely don't recommend
unclear instructions and teachings, does not explain excel and functions fully.
I have her first class in 20 mins and reading these reviews make me want to drop out already, cant be more excited. :)
I literally made an account in this website just to advise people DO NOT REGISTER WITH HER AT ALL COSTS. Worst professor I have ever had head over shoulders hands down do not take her class.
Genuinely never had a less helpful professor in my life. She puts no effort into connecting with, inspiring or even teaching her students. Very passive aggressive and not fond of questions at all. Avoid at all costs.
the only part of her job she seems to enjoy is talking down to students. if she spent half as much time actually explaining topics as she does writing unnecessarily long and malicious emails, her rating would probably look a lot better.
Worst teacher I've ever had.
Milica Saaghs gives five Test, each with a practice test a week before. She offers a lot of practice on Brightspace and has a YouTube channel with videos for each chapter to help with studying. Stats can be tough, but her tests cover exactly what she teaches, so poor marks reflect a lack of effort not her teaching.
The worst professor I have ever had, rude and dismissive, sometimes laughing at students' questions and having posted materials riddles with mistakes that she "did not feel like correcting.. She has exhibited rude behavior, such as not aiding with medical issues. As well as giving a student a used tissue when asked if they could blow their nose.
Was not at all intrested in helping us learn. Didnt even let us go over our mistakes in exams. Horrible prof, dont go to her.
Terrible... do not take her. She does not care about her students at all and is extremely condescending and mean. She refuses to return quizzes or midterms and will not give the solutions so you have no way of knowing where you went wrong and improving.
Don't take this course with this awful prof
Really not that bad of a prof that everyone makes her out to be. Down side is that she doesn't give your work back so you don't know what you did right and wrong. I recommend taking her online although.
Having her as a professor for the second time, she is terrible. She does not provide feedback on any work submitted to her, mocks you for the time you spend on questions, and is unfair with extra time needed for students with learning disabilities. Overall, do not take her unless needed. And be prepared to receive no help
