he is very funny; he manages to incorporate funny stories into his teaching of statistics. also, he's extremely easy. he let you use your notes for quizzes and let you leave early, expecially during the lakers season.
he's funny and hot....to me ;)
Mohammad makes Statistics an easy to learn subject. He really knows the subject matter! BUT, I can't stand his sarcasm...he also thinks he's funny...but really isn't.

EASY!!
Mohammad's class was really easy. It wasn't because he let you use your notes but because he makes statistics easy by just teaching you what you need to know. If you don't need to know it he wont confuse you with it.
Super funny, and makes the class interesting and fun. Had to memorize a lot of things, and you don't even need the book. But he's a REALLY good teacher.
He's really funny and handsome for a balding guy. Class was really easy.
HE IS A VERY HELPFUL TEACHER, HE MAKES STATS. SO EASY FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND I RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER (HE IS CUTE TOO).
ENTERTAINING, ENGAGING, THOROUGH, GREAT TEACHER, HE'S A TRIP, BUT YOU LEARN A LOT! OH YEAH, OPEN NOTE QUIZZES!

amazing teacher but kind of a prick. hes mostly cool but ****
great teacher, kinda in to himself, but real cool
Mohammed is funny, approachable and very eager to give a good grade. Statistic courses are always a pain but he minimizes that by breaking everything down so you understand it. If you must take statistics, try to get him as your professor. You won't be dissapointed.
Rude, ****, and Unclear.
Funny guy but he can be an ass sometimes. Don't interrupt him, and don't talk during class or he'll make you look like an idiot! He gives bi-weekly quizzes so make sure you completely understand his lectures, because that's what his quizzes are about. You don't need a book for his class.
Great Professor..he explains everything very clearly..is willing to help with any questions..no midterm or final...but has like 6 or 7 qiuzes for the quarter! you dont need a book he provides everything...interesting too!
very clear in explaining! take good notes, they are word for word of what will be on the test! goes slow! hard not to pass his class! about 7 tests the whole quarter, but if you have good notes the tests will be very easy! always ends class early! recommended
hes an **** and gave me a B+ when I deserved an A. Stuck up and ego-centric
He is the most obnoxious, **** and chauvinist instructor I have ever had and I've had some doozies. If you are Hispanic, or a woman, or intelligent, be prepared to be instulted, and then some. He took the breadth of the class and taught only shortcuts which are not worth much in the long run. Shame!
His test are a bit tricky but if you take clear notes ( I mean write down everything he states on his lectures), you should pass his test. No mid-term or final but issues out about 4-5 quizzes. No book required!
Funny teacher, but man..I did NOT like this guys tests! He gives you no practice work all quarter & claims everything is from the notes, but it's so nit-picky & hard to convert the paragraphs from the website in2 equations. If you don't write down EVERYTHING, even when you think you have it all, you will be bombing the tests! 1st ques=32nd%..wtf?
THIS PROFESSOR IS VERY RUDE AND VERY STUCK UP. HE THINKS HE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER THERE IS.... HE GIVES A QUIZ EVERY WEEK ON THURSDAY. YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE A LOT OF NOTES, AND STUDY HARD TO PASS HIS CLASS
this professor is really good. He really knows his stuff. He may e arrogant, stuck and everything else ypu want to call him but he is clear and very helpful. He gives a quiz every week and you must take really good notes and study. IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND STATS TAKE HIM.
This guys thinks too much of himself, he is really stuck up, really rude and not funny (but he thinks he is funny),,, but his way of teaching is good,,, be ready for the quizes,,,,, he gives one every week
Took him for PSY202 and 302. Really good professor. Makes everything pretty simple to understand, especially if you follow along and take good notes He even lets you use notes for quizes. He is very thorough and will go over things if people are not getting it
He can be a little funny, very cocky BUT in the end, he does teach. I still remember complex equations and how to solve them which speaks highly of his ability to teach. He keeps it as real as he can and let's you use your notes for all exams. Pretty fair grader, but you have to listen and read the tests!!
Very good Professor, will recommend him to everyone. Need to be there everyday in class, if you miss one day you will not understand it. Easy A if you do all the work and show up to class!!! Not cocky at all, who ever said that is because they did not understand the material!!! Dont blame him!!!!
YOU NEED TO TAKE GOOD NOTES WITH THIS TEACHER, OR YOU WILL BE OUT OF LUCK. HE IS PICKY WHEN GRADING QUIZES, ALTHOUGH YOU CAN USE YOUR NOTES, SO LISTEN CAREFULLY, OR RECORD HIM. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT DO THAT GREAT, (GOT A C) YOU ALL CAN DO GREAT IF YOU ASK QUESTIONS WHEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. HE WILL HELP YOU, JUST DON'T ACT AS IF YOU KNOW MORE THAN H
He is kind of into himself, but he is a good teacher. I have a hard time with stats but I do recommend his class, it was very easy to understand the material.
LOVE HIM!!!!
He's terrible, the worst, most unfair grading! He's also **** and WILL lie to your face! He said, math only on the final and then there were other questions that were not just math.
He is not interested in his student's success, and it is almost impossible to get an A in his class.
too much notee n talking...zzzzZZZzzzZZZzzz..test are multiple choice and some of the question are not on the notes..and u must go to class to copy notes..notes are 99 percent of the class time ...boring
I don't know what people are talking about when they slag this prof! He's absolutely nothing BUT helpful and fair! Every test is open note, he doesn't care about memorization, just that you understand the concepts themselves and he'll go to great lengths to help you apply them to everyday situations with funny anecdotes and aphorisms. Great class!
He was a wonderful professor. I had cold feet about taking this class but needed it to graduate. Loved his sense of humor at the first meeting. He used many examples to help you understand different disorders and remember them. His videos and lectures were always interesting and stimulating. He's a hotty too... I love the way he dresses....
He was such a cool guy! I loved that he had us watch relevant movies instead of boring documentary-status videos. Covers a lot of information in an easily-understandable way. I recommend him without any hesitation. Book: Psychology in Action by Huffman – DON’T BUY IT - He teaches through lectures. Feel free to e-mail me for more info. - LA
His class is fun. He takes lots of notes. I had fun taking his class. I like the way he teaches.
Must be a CAREFUL note taker! Recording the class is extremely helpful. I got a B+, but it takes practice, tutoring and desire for a challenge. This man is a great professor.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME Teacher!!!!!! Knows his stuff, loves to teach and makes sure you know what he is talking about. Adds humor and really is such a great professor. Take him!!!
Took this Prof. in the Fall 2007, he is one of the best Prof. I have had over the course of 3 yrs. He uses examples from every day life to convey the material. Quizes are open notes. "GOOD NOTES IS THE KEY" I got an "A" for my final grade. I would take this prof. again in a heartbeat, he teaches in ways you can understand.
I just took him last winter 2008, I pass the class, I'd wish i work more harder to get a better grade, be a good listener and good lecture taking to help on the test, its open notes yet its challenging. definitely take his class you wont regret.
He is a totally easy professor! There isn't any homework, except for what he assigns for SPSS (which is still extremely easy it takes 10 mins to do). His tests are all open notes, including the final! I'm a horrible STATS student but I passed his class w/ an A. Take his class you are sure to pass.
I really enjoyed his class. he uses everyday examples in his lectures. You need to go to class everyday if you want an A. He lets you use notes in test. But if you dont study and listen you wont do so good. Take good notes!! I love him.
You can definately get an A in his class as long as you attend class and take notes. He's a great professor, but a little bit cocky; however he is very hot to look at! Something about him is just sexy! Keep in mind, he is married ladies (so sad).
Completely unsure of this man's motives. From observation, he will A's you if he likes you, and hit your hard if he doesn't. Is this the education community? I don't know, but I am willing to hear feedback.
yes, i agree with the post below. for some reason, my previous comments were removed. well, in a nutshell: seems easy and funny and sweet... but really is extremely raisist. covers it up with his so called "funny" jokes. besides, very vague class. u have no idea where u stand. makes it look ez b4 test, but on test u'll feel very dumb n lost.
GREAT TEACHER HE MAKES LECTURES VERY INTERESTING!
I find his humor funny, his tests fair, and his shaved head SEXY!!!
Awesome teacher, best teacher i have ever had at cal state la. quizzes are open note so class attendance is important. plus side does not require a book. take this class with him!
He makes the class very fun and interesting. But his tests aren't as easy as you thought, although it's open note. Make sure you write the notes... Clearly. He's whatever...
You might be able to get away with not reading but there is some stuff that comes only from the book. Otherwise an A is pretty doable if you put in some effort.
Best professor to start off my first quarter with, at least for me. No textbook. Tests are based on what he teaches so take great notes. Also, the tests start off with many questions but by the end of the quarter you'll have one question that will need a really long answer. So, study notes, ask questions and you'll be fine. He's chill and funny.
He's super cool! Take notes and ask questions. Everything he lectures on will be on the test. He so confident about his teaching skills that he doesn't need the book. Makes statistics seem so easy.
This teacher is pretty easy. He doesn't use a textbook so you need to show up to class. Test are straight forward he lets you use your notes.
Best statistics teacher. No book. All notes. Open notes for tests so take extremely clear notes on all the equations and ideas and you will do fine. Oh, and have basic math skills. Seriously. I look forward to taking him next quarter for 310 - our whole class is returning. The only issue I had is I would like more practice problems. TAKE HIM!
A very astounding professor! No textbook required. 1 mid-term & final. The tests are solely based on lectures so take notes carefully. He always brings the class to life with his lectures. He tells stories and examples to help better explain the material. Makes attending class fun! One of the best professors I've ever had.
Makes Statistics VERY easy! No book required; you must attend class every day, and take VERY good notes; Professor is very fair and doesn't curve. Easy A if you put in the effort to pass the class.
I feel sorry for everyone in the world who does not have him for Statistics. He is clear, funny, helpful, the best. Going to school for this class was never like going to school. However, I do like math and statistics and I found it interesting and I did well. But, even if you struggle, you simply have to take great notes. Good luck!
I have always had issues with math but he makes it easy to understand. He will not move on to the next section until you completely get it. He also makes the class interesting with his humor. Lets you use your notes for exams but you are responsible for taking good notes. After his class, I understand Statistics way better!
Prof. Mohammad is really passionate about the topics he introduces, he's cute, and I love the accent Sit close by him, and note everything he writes say(repeats),comment during lectures, 2 essays (required for GE course & not graded), 1 MC/T-F Midterm (30 ?s) 1 final ( 2 essays, which you have about 5-4 weeks to complete)
great lectures. really recommend. pay close attention to what he says will be on final.
Class is easy. you can use notes on all your test, even final so make sure u take good notes. you take a test every other class meeting, and there is no book. overall great class, he's clear and makes learning stats fun. i would recommend this class
ALRIGHT PROF,NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT, JUST ANOTHER MID-EASTERN PROF THAT THINKS HE KNOWS IT ALL AT CSULA, MUST ATTEND CLASS IN ORDER TO GET A GOOD GRADE. DOES NOT GRADE ON A CURVE, SLOW ON ANSWERING QUESTIONS THRU EMAIL.NO BOOK, AND THE ONLY SOC-310 PROF, THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF PASSING.
Very straight forward, does not negotiate grades,Horrible grader, takes points away for not writing sentences his way.Prof Mohammed is not very kind, however he is the only prof here @ csula, that one has a chance of passing Soc-310. Other than that good luck.
Hard grader, no make up test, no book, very strict,and in order to pass his class do not get behind on points, because you will fail. So it is very important to create a study group,in order to pass and keep your GPA above 2.0, this professor does not care about any of the students here @ CSULA, he forgot he was once a student her @ CSULA.
MUST BE PREPARED IN ORDER TO PASS THIS STATS CLASS HARD GRADER, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. NO BOOK, CAN USE NOTES, NON NEGOTIABLE, DOES NOT CARE WHETHER YOU PASS/FAIL. NEED TO STUDY HARD FOR THIS CLASS.
Don't believe if he says he will pass you if your short one or two points from a grade he goes straight by the book and could care less if you pass or not .. Besides that he lets you have open notes for the test and if your not Neat or have the exact answers he wants he will mark it wrong .. A lot of ppl like him and say he's easy others say no.
He is a tough grader but he also tells you exactly what he wants on the test. Take good, clear notes. Do not skip class because he does not use a textbook and his examples are your only practice. He is very picky and you have to do the work just as he taught you. I really liked his lectures I thought he was funny which is hard to do in statistics.
Definitely take him! His make everything very clear to understand. You pass if you take good notes. :))
Tough grader, just make sure you take good notes and you will be fine. Highly recommend him.
His tests are heavy, be ready to take a lot of notes. Over all he's a great prof, and knows his stuff.. Not to mention he's cute too.
Be ready to take ALOT of notes. Professor is hilarious .
Show up, take notes and you will pass. Tough grader.
Ive never written one of these but felt like I needed to warn people about this class. In my 4 years at Cal State l.A I have never had a worse teacher. I love a challenging class, but Mohammad makes it nearly impossible to do well. He is unapproachable, and make u feel as though he doesn't want u to succeed. Avoid at all costs will ruin your gpa.
Short quizzes every week. No text book. Can use notes for the quizzes. As long as you write everything he says down (even if you think its not important, just do it ), copy down all his examples in your notes, have clear notes, youll do fine. Hes the best to take for stats.
Professor knows his stuff! Take good notes and study. He lets you use your notes when you take your quizzes and final exam. And he is a very funny man, too!
If you're sensitive this probably isn't the class for you. He may seem scary at first but he's hilarious. TAKE GOOD NOTES, he lets you use your notes for ALL quizzes. He made stats tolerable, I actually enjoyed his class. It went by so fast. I liked the way he taught because he DUMBED it down A LOT which made it easy to learn. Take him!
Hes unprofessional and does not care if you fail or drop the class! He makes fun of people and points things out in front of the class. I had an awful experience and regret taking his class! Take a lot of notes for his tests. Open book but still challenging.
Math is my weakest subject , so I was not looking forward to a statistics class. However, this professor is great as long as you take great notes. His way of teaching is easy to understand and his tests are EXACTLY the way he teaches it. I had him on Canvas, so his lectures were recorded for those who were not able to log in at the specific time
Quizzes every other week, take good notes because its open notes on every quiz, no homework or book. Attend class, pay attention, and STUDY the notes you take and you'll do fine. he did give extra credit opportunities on quizzes if he feels the class needs it. Does have a loud tone which can be taken as mean or rude but isn't.
