this professor is very strict and not always clear. he does not curve and does not drop the lowest test grades. if u r not good in math plz don't take him bcuz he will fail u. took him and mini and i had to drop.
I would disagree with these opinions. I took Bus Cal in summer and it was a lot of info to ?digest?. He is very nice, knowledgeable and fun. I failed the class due to my lack of time for studying and practicing, but he was great! There were plenty of As in class. I enjoyed his class a lot and would take him again if I could, but I am off to a unive
Pls dont take him.He makes too much mistake when is teaching and his teaching is not clear at all.I will not recommend him at all.
He's a good teacher with a good personality. I would recommend him.
Not very clear about his teaching methods. Forgets about certain details sometimes. There are mistakes in the test reviews that he gives us. Even the tests had editorial errors and wrongs answers as well. Not a very good teacher, but easy if you have Math Zone and teach yourself, like I am doing.
He's a very good teacher! I think the people who have made comments on how bad he is are those that were caught cheating. He's knowledgeable, and if you don't understand something he'll help you out. will stay after class if you need more help. he's very fun and a lot of students seem to like him alot. I would def recommend him. He's pretty chill.
He is a very good teacher. If you need help he is always willing to help you. You just have to ask. I'm not sure why the poor ratings, it doesn't seem fair. I'm not doing very good because I'm just not good with math, but he always stops and go's over untill you understand.
Good teacher worth the time and effort!!!
Great professor! He is very clear and takes the time to help you understand. He provides tests reviews online you can print off. Overall he is a great professor and I would recommend taking him for all of your math courses. Good Luck!
Good teacher and friendly to everyone, gives good advice.
College Algebra, My take on him is that he assumes that everyone has made it thus far should know and that is not the case. Sure he might be easy to some but to those of us who struggle with math won't agree that he is easy.
he is very clear and you can understandhim great, he takes the time to make sure you understand he really likes class involvement, he doesnt move on till everybody is clear on what he is talking about, before this class i didnt understand, i really recommend him if you have a hard time with math because he takes the time to explain things in detail
Great teacher. I had him for Calculus 1 and compared to the first teacher, he's a genius. Made you understand it after a few examples. If you had a question, he'd help. Gave EC and bonus points!! I would urge everyone to take him
I took precal with him over the summer. You will get frustrated just because of the time (Its Summer), his lecture is simple and understanding. If you have any questions, simply ask him and he will walk you through it. He gives you homework randomly which will help you in class. Write down his notes again for studying,make sure you do review.
Professor Afaneh was fantastic! I took precalculus with him during the winter mini semester. I'm usually terrible at math, but he explained things very well. He does give a lot of homework, but he's very lenient. Definitely take him for precal if you can.
Took him for precal this past semester fall 2010 and hes great! you have 4 test and he drops the lowest grade. YOU MUST TAKE HIM :)
He was awesome! For some students who are not so good at math, he tries to teach so everyone understands. He moves quite quickly thru his lectures and he uses the full class time so sometimes its a lot of info to take in. Let us use notes and book on TESTS! All except the final. Good person overall
He may be good for classes taken in person, but he is TERRIBLE for online classes. He is not organized. He does not respond to emails. He does not respond to "discussion topics" on the blackboard. Very frustrating. If you struggle with math, do not take him online.
Many of us had problems with our final! It was a mess. I could not figure out some of the questions at all.
Awesome professor. He was really helpful. The final exam was messed up cause someone printed it wrong, but he gave us THREE chances to make it up online....WOW. What other teacher would do that? Willing to repeat until you get it, def take him if you can!!
Great teacher, helpful and makes you enjoy/get math if you didn't get it before. He also speaks english clearly which is a huge plus imo
He is very concerned with making sure you understand. Always has time for questions. Helps those who want help but doesn't waste time with slackers.
Easy class! Just do the math lab and listen to the lecture. I got an A in this class. Also, the take home test was a breeze!
ran through everything to fast pulled surprise test on two test he is the reason i found out about rate my proffser. would never take him again. one of those guys,since he knows it, you should also.
questions not encouraged. teaches by powerpoint. 1-2 arguments between student & professor each class. homework & practice test are nothing like actual test, and there is no review.
Took this teacher on Summer mini-term. Didn't really try to study for class and still wound up with a C. Teacher helpful in algebra, but you better know your trig or you'll be fked. Allowed formula sheet on final exam.
Good teacher I guess. Everything was done on My Math Lab, so we purchased that instead of the book. He moved a little slow for my taste and got a little annoyed when I was working ahead instead of listening to him teach over something I'd finished a week before. If you struggle in math though, he teaches at a slow pace where you're sure to get it.
Mr.Afaneh is one the greatest professors HCC has! He makes you understand the class material in an easy way! If you want a Prof. who cares, teaches good, and tries to make learning fun, then this professor is the best choice!All you have to do is try, be in class & if you don't understand just tell him & he will help(closed mouths don't get feed)!
He is AWEFUL! I took him for an online course and he NEVER responds to emails! I ended up dropping his course because I didn't want to fail due to his lack of communication. He did eventually respond to one of my emails, three weeks after I dropped his course. He not helpful at all and was extremely rude if he did email back. I don't recommend him.
FAR MOST ONE OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS I HAVE HAS AT HCC. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND RESPONDS TO ANY EMAILS I'VE E-MAILED, EVEN AFTER CLASS WAS OVER. HE IS AWESOME!
I took his winter mini session, I thought it was going to be really hard, but if your good in math then just ace all the test and quizzes and do your homework before the due date and A is guaranteed. He is also very helpful like a lot of kids had trouble to take the final and we called him up and he helped us really quick and easy.
great professor every one who has to take precalculus should take his class.......
Professor Afaneh is a great teacher. He goes above and beyond for his students and genuinely cares about them doing well. He has a good sense of humor and thanks to him I was able to pass my worst subject
He's really helpful when my computer accidentally submitted my test, I called him and he re-opened it and allowed me to finish it. Wonderful teacher!
Was really helpful with his many powerpoints and teached us everything we need to know. Has a Math Sense of Humor. my first class in college and it was awesome! Recommend this teacher.
It was a good class, good teacher very helpful and understanding but I was very disappointed that I failed his class I did all the work missed very few homework assessments, I don't know what happened math is not my strongest subject and I got good grades on my Work...just make sure you are checking on your class grade
I took him for online mini section and i got B! He gave us the same amount of homework like the regular term. We had 3 test, 37 section of homework, 6 quizzes and final which was on campus! He does not teach anything so if you are bad DO NOT TAKE HIM BECAUSE YOU WILL FAIL! He does not drop your lowest grade and he does not give extra credit point
Mr. Afaneh is an outstanding professor! I'v taken 0306, 0308, and 0312 (and hopefully 1314) with him. The key to his class( like any other class) is to come everyday, ask questions, do your work and listen. He will help you anyway he can to make you understand by staying after class or coming early to class. Mr.Afaneh is an Awesome professor!
I took Mr Afaneh for mini section. He's awesome. I usually don't write reviews but I had to because he's the best. very helpful, his tests are easy and basically a copy from the review. I recommend him. EASY A
Best teacher in Hcc, which I believe belongs in a university. Very helpful and responds to email quick and tells you everything you need. Easiest A I ever got and I haven't touched math in year and half. Money well spent. You will not regret it.
Outstanding professor and very helpful. I recommend you take this class if you are looking to learn and recieve an A. He answers your emails and any questions you have ASAP.
IF YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT MATH,DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.....NO HELP, NO CURVE, WILL NOT DROP LOWEST TEST ---YOU WILL FAIL!!!!!
Obviously, not the way that some have described him. His lectures consisted with Ppt slides on mymathlab that you have access outside of the classroom. The homework assignments too came from mymathlab, which I viewed them as a better source for learning that the lectures.
All the postings saying he's a great teacher, he posted....don't take unless your good at math he teaches to prepare u for precal....talks in circles test are difficult, not the same as reviews...doesn't curve or drop lowest!!! DO NOT TAKE!! If he's you last option just wait until following semester!!!
he is a good teacher and his tests same as the reviews.however, there is no curve and no drop lowest test,you wont get A unless you get 90.
Great teacher no need to buy a textbook he prints out all the packets. He makes everything simple, I graduated in 2004 and forgot almost every formula took this class twice he was the better teacher.
This teacher teaches strait out of the book writes very sloppy and does not know to be organized while teaching so confusing. Does not give test reviews says he will and never does. I have never had a teacher this horrible . Also u will need web assign and that's another stupid one does not give u correct answer after getting the question wrong ..
Mr Afaneh is the best teacher. He is very helpful. His tests are easy and based on his review sheets. Take him! Easy A
Mr afaneh is the best teacher. He is very helpful. His tests are easy and based on his review sheets. Take him!! Easy A!!
One of the best teachers I have taken for math, not to mention you can understand him! He is very helpful, and he is one of those professors that like to teach and makes you excited to learn math.
Does not give printouts. Teaches strait out of the book. Very complicated teacher. Teaches the long way. IF you did not pay attention in 0312 your gonna have lots of trouble.
Im Not Really Strong In Math But Im Doing My Best
DOESNT TEACH! all he did was put videos throughout the entire semester.
I took this teacher because of the positive rates he has and i totally regret it. i enjoy learning with a teacher who explains and go trough the problems with us on the board .. and this teacher doesn't do that. he just puts videos of a lot of sections on a single day and he does same thing class after class..
Doesnt answer questions, just goes on and on slide after slide. A very lame prof.
doesn't want to answer questions, just goes on and on with power points. Will cut you off if you have any immediate questions until that topic is over
He is really rude prof. I did not have any prof. as rude as him. He goes over stuff super fast as if you know everything. He does not care about his students at all. Even though i really good at math but his test are REALLY REALLY tough, the question he give on test are out of no where. Would not recommend anyone to take him.
Do not fall the good reviews below. This prof is no help and very mean. He comes late and leaves early just so no one can approach him. Teaches a Math on ppt slides. No reviews, no answers to questions, you are pretty much on your own. If he gives a take home quiz its worst. I just wish he taught the stuff he tests his students on.
Really regret taking him, wait if you have to, take anyone but him. Total waste of time and money!!!!!
I didnt know Math could be taught through slides, until now. This prof doesn't like to write or do work, he will just sit and paraphrase the slides. And in case you are planning on understanding and taking notes simultaneously, he wont wait, before you look up he has moved 3 slides already
He likes to play smart, he will take his time with the first chapter and by then the drop date has passed. After which he starts rushing and skipping topics. If any student as much as hints that they know the material, he wont go into the details or solve examples. No reviews, not answering student questions and no replies to any emails.
The worst online class ever. 4 test including final plus your HW grade all worth 20% the final is comprehensive gives a final review that does not have anything to do with the final terrible professor beware of grading system on the math lab he made a mistake on my grade and took almost a month to correct it. Terrible
He gives questions in a test that a Calculus 3 students couldn't solve, and he does it on purpose just so students stay scared. According to him students don't study so they should stay under pressure. I don't mind studying but I would love to learn from a person who knows what he's doing and doesn't ignore or run from the students.
If you have the option learn online from random videos and sites. He is an awful person, worst prof at HCC. Shouldn't be teaching. He paraphrases the power point slides and goes through an example before solving it. No reviews, no answers to questions. Just a formal rushed discussion of topics and THE END!!!
Save your GPA, no help here and math is a subject in which you need someone to teach.
I have a decent background in math, but taking this course online was a major mistake. All tests and homeworks are assigned online. It is extremely easy to lag behind. Everything you will learn is going to be self taught. There are some videos through the mymathlab service that are marginally helpful but are not enough for you to do well.
Teaches MATH on powerpoints, doesn't like to answer any questions hence you are on your own.
Don't bother, this professor teaches through power points and goes through lectures quickly by only doing an example then lecturing it. Beware!!
I don't recommend this professor to anyone. I took him online. He does not give reviews for exams, and the exams are really hard and really harder than Homework. You won't know what to expect in exams. There are total 4 exams out of which two are on campus and other two are online. Final is comprehensive. Including assignments, each thing is 20%.
He is a nice guy in general. But the way he teaches is difficult to understand.. not the best at knowing on how to explain. He just does the work how it is but really doesn't know how to give background info. I dislike math. If you are good at math and can pass math with just reading formulas take him
Basic instructor, does everything by the book. If majority of the students are struggling he will find way to give extra credit. Best way to get an A' in this class is read the book, do the homework on MathLab and that will prepare you for the exam. The exams are form the math department which are easier than the Homework.
Just pay attention and be on time so you don't miss anything and you'll pass, do the online homework so when you go to class you understand. It was pretty easy and I'm really bad at math
You've made a positive difference in my math skill/knowledge. Thank you for the all the help and guidance that you've extended. Thank you,
Took it online, lots of HW but honestly was the best way of learning the material. Tests were easier than the test reviews he gives. If not easier, the same concepts on the review were on the test. Professor will take your effort into consideration and does care to help you.
I took this class for 5 weeks online, and that was a lot of work to do! He's very clear on his expectations. Just do the homework and the tests (online & proctored) and you should be fine.
Great teacher! Just do your homework, don't miss class, and ask plenty of questions and you'll pass! I got a easy A in his course!
Professor Afaneh by far has been the BEST professor that I ever had throughout my college years! If you are willing to learn then he can reach and elevate your math skills. I started off in remedial classes with him and when I reached college algebra it was super easy because of him. Ask questions and do the work; he'll make you a math wiz!
Horrible experience this semester with this professor. Did not learn anything from him. I self taught myself by working on mymathlab. He only does power points for the 2hrs of class. He doesn't help you with Homework problems. If you struggle in math and need the extra help DO NOT TAKE HIM.
I took this for a five week course I hated every second of it dont take this class for a five week or at all.
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! Took his 5 week online class and it was a big massive overload, which was not enjoyable at ALL! He gives out a bunch of video to learn, which in my opinion, did not help much rather than the homework assignment which were more helpful. He was also super unorganized, didn't have our test ready online, and put in the date wrong
Professor Afaneh's MATH 1332 (hybrid) is an easy A , if you pay attention and not procrastinate on the online hw like i did, its worth 15% of your grade. There was only 3 quizzes and the final, very easy if you studied the material before hand. He's a funny guy and very understanding. 9/10.
After taking his class he made me like math as he explains the formulas and concept in a manner that is quick, thorough and straight to the point. He gave us 3 extra credit assignments which pushed my grade up to a B as my final grade and I passed. Just show up, take notes, participate in lecture and do your homework. The entire class liked him.
Do not take this class if you want a life. I am taking the 5-week summer class online and I am spending most of my days doing the math assignments. They are unnecessarily long and are very hard to complete especially with Connect Math software that you have to use. I don't suggest taking this class at all.
Took Precalculus online. The textbook is required and all the homework and tests are on MML, so you'll need the access code. I wouldn't recommend online for learning because you teach yourself. But somehow I was given an A, even though my test scores say I should've got a B. Take that how you will.
He has to by far be the worst professor I have taken, when he is talking over a new topic he goes directly into it, a huge draw back because its as if he thinks we know everything already, constant "quizes" connect math is a pain at times, and he doesn't offer reviews for tests, doesn't go over work, stutters and speaks extremely fast. The worst.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. His method of "teaching" is to read the book. Doesn't provide prerecorded lectures or powerpoint of any sort. There is only homework and tests. If you can teach yourself great, but if not don't expect him to.
if you do the homework and discussions with 4 exams you will be fine. he is the easiest prof
he gives A LOT of homework. i basically taught myself since he reads the book word for word. 3 tests, 1 final exam, and so much homework i lost count. he is an EXTREMELY tough grader. but, if you focus and show some dedication it shouldn't be too hard, just DON'T procrastinate. lockdown browser is required and to do the homework you have to pay $80
If you care about your grades, don't take him. The class I took was online, yet there were no prerecorded videos. I had to learn the material by myself using only the textbook. There were only four tests throughout the course (final included) with NO EXTRA CREDIT. He does not drop grades. If you can teach yourself then this class is for you.
Don`t take this class if you care for your grades and gpa! He does not care for his students one bit and is hard to reach outside of class. Is the slowest grader I have ever had which messes you up because you do not know your final grade even after classes end for about a week and it's too late to do anything anymore.
seems like a nice fella but its been 2 weeks and there are still discrepencies and errors on due dates for homework/tests. i like to have my whole semester calander planned out day 1 so i am currently on mental breakdown #2 because of this nice mans poor online organization skills. probably nice in person but technologically impaired.
He requires a $90 program from Pearson. Only had the first 2 chapters for grades and they automatically link to canvas, assignments due on Pearson but not canvas. He didn't respond for a month+, had to reach out to him again. No pop quizzes, more like pop exams. Check on this class daily u never know when u have exam day. lockdown browser required.
Seems like a good guy but is very test heavy and goes through his lectures fast to the point I couldn't understand. Lots of homework, homework doesn't even do much for your grade as his test take up a huge chunk of your final grade. Barely looks at emails and pretty much never responds. Please think twice before you take his class.
Honestly Good Person i missed a test because i was sick as well as had some computer problem's he gave also gave me a chance to redo it and thanks to him i like the subject and lecture
Go to class, pay attention and do the homework for practice and you will pass. professor knows how to teach! 10/10 recommend. Test are a little hard but if you do the homework before the exams you have a high chance at passing.
i don't recommend taking his class, he's not good with responding he will take a month to respond to you. i contacted him multiple times on canvas, personal, and school email and didn't get a response til 1 month later. he doesn't announce when there will be an exam they will pop up out of no where. he also has attitude for no reason.
I was surprised by the disagreement I had with the ratings, I personally really liked Professor Afaneh and would take his Cal1 class if he offered it. Pay attention to his lectures and work a few example problems and you will succeed on his exams. My only gripe was the homework, it tended to go off on a different tangent (get it) than the tests.
If you are okay in math, take him, he is very straightforward and quick. 3 major exams, a final, each less than 33 questions. Questions were multiple choice. No extra credit. Emailed him twice, responded quick. Lot of HW in aleks, but gives us all semester to finish. Simple discussions and quick quizzes on aleks every other week. Need to buy aleks.
このいわゆる教師にはうんざりだ。彼は自分がすべてを知っていると思い込み、生徒よりも優れていると思っている。誰もあなたのような人はいないし、あなたのことを気にかけている。変人だ、あなたの宗教なんてクソくらえだ。
He can't even do the bare minimum. Expect an email back in 3 to 4 months—if you ever get one. Sets up a "Question for Professor" discussion, but never responds. Unorganized class. He failed to follow his own syllabus. The lectures are in 144p quality, and on top of all this, you have to pay an extra $95 to do ur own homework.
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. I took his 1324 Math class, and it was bad. On the first day of class i had to pay over $90 for my textbook. The grades are unbalance majority of grades are from the test and grades on the homework are worth very little. He doesn't announce when or what the test is going to be like. Please think twice before choosing him.
I would give this class a zero if I could he is the worst teacher I've had by far doesn't know what he's talking about and never responds to emails. my classmates and I went to the head of math dept twice this semester. if you need this class and none other are available wait till the next semester you will be doomed in this class. do not take this
