This class wasn't too bad. There was a lot of online homework but it is manageable. I found the SI test review sessions very helpful because he didn't have any past exams for practice. Saber is really nice and knows a lot about chemistry.

Saber is a great prof who knows alot about the material taught. He has tendency to go in depth as his test do not cover half of the stuff gone over in class. His test are very manageable and is only over the very basic concepts of the chapters. Overall a very good prof who presents a great challenge for any student looking to become an engineer.

His class is hard but as long as you show effort he is willing to work with you. He offered me help to understand the material, he really likes when you ask questions to show him that you are invested in the class. He also makes sure that he pays attention to his students. His tests are difficult but the SI sessions and his office hours are helpful

If you're willing to work for your grade it is worth it to take his class. He is very smart, cares about us doing good, & loves teaching. There's 3 exams & a final which he curves heavily. There is a lot of homework on OWL but it helps prepare you for the exam. He also gives lots of i clicker points helping your grade. Study and you will get an A!

Prof. Saber is a very kind and caring man, if you put in the effort he'll want to watch you succeed. That being said his lectures are a complete waste of time, but be there because the clicker questions really boost your grade. The class is intensely homework heavy and that's where you'll have to teach yourself. He curves all tests to help everyone

If you do the homework and attend class you will make an A. Saber is the best!

Unlike some of these other reviews, Dr. Saber was a good professor. He will answer any question, and everyone seems to take for granted his test are the easiest out of all the CHEM107 professors. His lectures sometimes are pointless as the homework goes so much more in depth and have prepare you better for the test.

His tests are very straightforward and related to stuff covered in the lectures. The owl teaches you most of the math though. He's very sweet and frequently curves harder exams. His accent is really not that bad. If you do all the work and pay attention, you can easily get an A!

Dr. Saber gets a bad rep from 1.) those who don't attend class, and 2.) those who don't put effort outside of class. Saber is a very caring man and goes out of his way to make sure students understand. His lectures are very fast but that is bc of the volume of material covered in Chem 107. Attend class, work ahead in OWL, Extra Credit, A is do-able

This was honestly the hardest class I've ever taken. That being said, I improved on every exam and made a B in the class. Saber is definetly a caring professor, and while his lectures are not too helpful, you still have to go. If you put in lots of studying and work hard, you can do well!

Saber is a very fast lecturer however, that is mostly due to the sheer volume of the information discussed in the course. His powerpoints have all the relevant information and are always accessible. Despite this, you should go to class as there are clicker questions that count towards your grade.

I know it sounds strange, but Dr Saber is a great person. His class is very hard, but I have to say that he is great teacher. He is a 5/5 teacher, but his class is also a 5/5 difficulty.

Dr. Saber was a pretty decent teacher; I'd only had one basic chemistry course in high school and was fine. Most engr students take chem their first semester of college and don't understand how to study, so I'm guessing a lot of his bad reviews are from people that expected to be able to just come to class with no outside prep and do fine.

currently taking saber for the 10 wk summer session and so far he's been really thorough with his lectures. now that everything is online, tests are entirely based on the sections covered in the book and the hw. dont skip lectures bc of clicker questions through reef. he doesnt respond fast to emails but when he did he was helpful. he curves tests!

He's cool and accomodating.

I'm taking his online class in Fall 2020. He uses iClicker and ALEKS, and his class overall is manageable. I have an A right now, the labs are pretty easy, and he gives you 2 practice exams that are nearly identical to the actual exams. Not bad. Just don't procrastinate on homework, do the practice exams, and review his lecture videos before class.

A lot of people did not like Professor Saber. However, many of these students did not put the work in to be successful. In order to be successful I had to spend a lot of time studying outside of class. Every night before lecture I printed off his slides and did the examples in the PowerPoint using his videos. He gives AMAZING practice exams! DOTHEM

Saber is a solid professor who gives every student the resources to be successful as long as you use them and put in the work. He gave two opportunities to make up test points and lowered iClicker (in-class problems) and homework required percentages to help people's grades. All general science classes in college are difficult. Just put in effort.

I honestly dont know why his ratings are so bad. You really just need to put some effort into this class to pass it (do the homework, answer iclicker question, go to SI reviews). Tests are pretty straightforward and based almost 100% on the reviews he gives you. He also pays attention to class averages and gives extra points.

Dr. Saber was a great professor! He posted lecture videos to watch before class and did examples in class which was great for asking questions. A lot of students felt this was not effective but it worked for me, just depends on your learning style. You really have to apply yourself to do well like all chem 119 classes. Read and take good notes!

Saber is a very knowledgeable prof who cares about the success of his students. He let us all retake the first exam because the average was low and is generous with ways to improve your grade. He posts practice exams before each exam that are similar in content, length, and difficulty. He prepares his students really well if they out in the work

I was scared about chem, but Saber was great online. Both sides had some figuring out to do, but over time things became more clear, and you knew what to expect with each test (practice tests help A LOT). Occasional curves. Uses ALEKS (not bad), iClicker. Mostly calculations, sometimes conceptual. Very caring, wants students to do well. Don't fear!

A lot of people have bad things to say about him due to the rough start at the beginning, but he's a really nice guy. He truly cares for his students and will put in the work to see you succeed. He always posts practice tests before each exam, and they're always the exact concepts on the tests. Any bit of effort goes a long way in his class.

Professor Saber was a good professor. He is an understanding man and he works with his students to make sure they do well in chem. You do have to attend lecture because he gives clicker questions and you have to put in your share of work to do well in the class. His practice exams are like the exams so do those and you'll be good for exams.

Great professor. A lot of work has to be done outside of class but as long as you do the work to the best of your ability you will be fine. He brought down the grade cutoffs at the end of the semester which really helped a lot of people. His practice tests are all exactly the same types of questions on the real tests.

If you are willing to put work into this class, you can get an A. He drops clicker questions and lowers grade cutoffs to help students. His exams are practically the practice ones. I found reading the textbook helped with any questions I had. Make sure to watch the videos he posts before lectures, he goes really fast in class.

Not the best, but he definitely tries. Toward the end of the semester he was very accommodating and adjusted grades generously. Lecture attendance was mandatory (clicker questions) as well as several videos needed to be watched prior to class. ALEKS is used for hw.

To be honest, he is not a good teacher. But if you took CHEM AP in highschool you'll be fine. Practice exams identical to the exam, he lowered cutoffs and curved a lot, generally very sweet guy just not a good teacher. Do the ALEKS hw, and reef questions in class, that is what stopped me from getting an A.

If you took Chem AP in high school, this class is a literal review of that. Lectures were important since there were REEF questions that contributed to your final grade. Saber made practice tests that were similar to the real tests so that helped out a lot for studying and what to expect. He is a great professor overall.

Dr. Saber is really a nice guy. I like him a lot and maybe if I attended class more often, Id have a better understanding of chemistry. It was very hard to stay engaged in lecture especially with everyone just as confused as me. I recommend starting ALEKS topics before attending class to be able to follow along. Only 2 tests: Midterm and Final.

Overall, Saber comes across as a guy that's probably too smart to be teaching an intro class. Sometimes the lectures are confusing because he overcomplicates, but you can tell he loves what he does. Homework is easy, both tests had practice tests that were pretty close if not the same as the actual test, and the canvas quizzes are tricky but doable

Dr. Saber is nice professor, but very difficult to understand with a heavy accent. ALEKS, the homework / online learning program, was a major pain, but is required for all CHEM courses. He would conduct experiments during lectures, which was pretty neat and sometimes dismissed class early. I take him again semester and plan on earning an A.

Dr. Saber is a great professor and clearly very knowledgable about his craft. Sometimes he would over complicate things, but as a whole I think he does a great job teaching and providing resources. Grading is tough, quizzes/exams determine your grade, little leniency, ended with a 87.5 (88A) and had to take a B. That is my biggest disappointment.

Professor Saber was a good professor. His rating does not do him justice. He provided many opportunities for students to redeem their grades. He tried to make lectures interesting, and there is a lot of homework however all CHEM classes have that. I would take him again but his lectures do not match my learning style.

Saber gets a lot of bad reviews, but honestly, he's not too bad. You won't learn much from this class but he is one of the only professors who is willing to help his students pass his class. You can tell he wants to help out. His quizzes are all multiple choice, and I think that's pretty good compared to all the other chem professors.

He's a great professor if you seek him out. Hard to understand sometimes but he is very patient and willing to work with you. Midterm and final only, quizzes every two weeks that are not similar to the practices.

The main reason why people complain about him is because they don't use their resources. He assigns as much work as all the other CHEM 119 profs, and was lenient with the deadlines was in order to help us, due to so many people procrastinating and then complaining. He was very kind and always catered to us, extending deadlines multiple times.

I was a little wary of Dr. Saber after looking at his rate my professor, but I found him to be a fantastic professor! His lectures have a lot of information but are clear to follow, and he works out a lot of problems in class so you get a lot of practice. Dr. Saber is really nice and cares for his students. Both his mid-term and final had reviews
