This guy has it all!!! He is young, good looking, smart, funny and can relate to his students. The tests come straight from the lecture notes and homework. The tests are challenging, but not difficult if you do your homework and put forth effort. His humor makes class fun and interesting.
Great guy, very fun. He has a passion for the subject and it shows. I would recommend him to anyone. He makes class fun and interesting, and actually teaches, so you understand everything that is going on.
Great teacher! His tests are right from homework. Is willing to answer questions or help out his students. Makes class fun!
yaaaaa hes the man he so nice lol and tests are easy if you study its math like the only easier way is cheating lol...........take hamka hes str8 as hell ya moussie i luv his nam lol moussa
Mr. Hamka is a asset to his profession, Truly a class act.
I truly enjoyed Mr. Hamka aka. Moussa. He made the time fly by. I've struggled with Math in the past & had problems asking for help. Moussa was very help and supportive. If you did your work, tried and participated in went the extra mile with help with any poblems 1/2 before class. If you have to take a Math class just 4 take Hamka Moussa.
Teaches at a high school and part time at HFCC. His number one goal is to finish as much material as possible and if you have nothing better to do with your life, take his class. He will make sure you get 120 questions of homework a day. He sometimes forget he is dealing with adults and don't like going back. He is a good teacher but need to relax
Really enjoyed him as a professor, he really wants to help you learn. As long as you go to class, PARTICIPATE, and do the homework, you'll be fine. Not bad on the eyes either!
I really enjoyed taking this class. Mr. Hamka went through the chapters as planned. He gave us tons of homework, but it helped us prepare and excel on the test. I think this class was fun, students must do their homework, participate in class, and study. Mr. Hamka gave us some good breaks throughout the semester also so don't stress yourself.
Mr.Hamka is an ok teacher. i mean he seems like he's really hot and nice, but he has this showing off, i'm the best kind of personality going on. Back to the teaching, he's alright, maybe ok or u know he's great like tony the tiger. Ur hot though Moussa,but dn't let it get to ur head!!!!!
If you have to take this class and it is the only one open, find a different school or wait till the next class open. Not very helpful, no polite and thinks he is all that.Everyday i think of the amount of countless waisted hours i invested in his class, the more horrable i feel. You will not get away with anything,useless homework and so much more
One of the Best Teachers at HFCC. He is genuine and cares about his studnets success. He does give alot of homework, but his tests are straight forward(from the HW). Go to class and participate and you will be fine, he actually knows how to teach. He makes class fun with all his stories. And ladies he is CUTE!!!
I have never enjoyed math so much! He is really cool and is an awesome teacher, his jokes are clever and keep you interested in what he's talking about. I highly recommend Mr. Hamka.
I get the feeling that the good ratings below were left by a relative or something because i really didn't find this man to be helpful at all. When you speak of the best as some of you say, you should look up the word best. You can't be best and have more than half the class failing or barely understanding. To make it worst, he refuse to re-explain
I hated math until now, if it wasn't for Hamka I don't think I would of done quite as well as I'm doing now! I'm excited to show up for class everyday to learn, laugh, and to stare at a fine ass teacher, ladies take this class and I guarantee you'll be sitting up front too!
The hardest working teacher i know.He is always giving it his best,he tries and does make every class fun.His explanations are precise and clear.He does give a bit of homework, but nothing to outrageous.He is always available during office hours for additional help.His tests are straight-forward (right from the notes).He wont admit it but he curves
You folks really need to cut the crap out. How can something so bad even try to sound good? The only thing good about this man is his pay check. I loved Math until i took him,i will, without a doubt ask you to please, if not for me but the sake of Math, find an alternative. I wish there was a below 1 rating because 1 is even high to rate him. DONT
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.Not every student likes him,but i garantee you that very few studnets hate him.I have taken him twice now with no problems.He is a cool guy, and a good teacher.The last rater needs to relax,Hamka always tells us that teaching at HFCC is his favorite part of the day,and never mentions money.Hamka's the man!
I took him in the summer. He mentioned that this was his 1st summer class, and it showed. He gave WAY too much homework. Other than that he was a pretty good teacher. He did make the class interesting and he is clear with his explanations. If I had to take him again I would, just not in the spring or summer.
I also had him in the summer, i will never do that again. He is ok and i will take him again if i have to but i will make that my last option. I have learned to network with other students in school before i take someone. I failed his class and re-took the class with Ailawadi , i worked twice as less as i did in Hamka's class to get an A
i hate math. i passed his class with a B+. i would recomend him
Mr. Hamka is a great teacher. He cares about his students and takes the time to explain things in a way they understand.
Hamka brings excitement to class.Its rare to find a professor who is competent in there field,enthusiastic and a good teacher.He taught with passion and clarity.I liked how he taught us "calculus" like problems.His grading scale is more than fair,he curves and gives partial credit on exams.I highly recommend Hamka. Ladies,he's also easy on the eyes
A great teacher who truly knows and understands math. HE may not be easy all the time but he really cares if you are successful or not. If you want to really learn math and get the skills to advance then this is your class. Just remember to relax and enjoy the class and Mr.Hamka. Thanx for the class it was a great time. ~Duncan
Very good proffesor, even though he gave me an E but i still recomend him.
HE IS A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR, HE IS VERY FUNNY AND EASY GOING. AFTER TAKING MATH 115WITH HIM I WAS ABLE TO PLACE OUT OF PRECALC AND INTO CALC 1. JUST DO YOU HOME WORK AND CONTINUE TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS BEFORE ALLOWING HIM TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SUBJECT. HAMPKA
You endd up with a E and you recommend him? Aww you must be the emotional type. Any instructor who gives student a E is COLD. The least he can do is give you a Drop or Incomplete. I took him and i passed with a C but i think he should be teaching in High School only. People in colleges have a job,family and can use someone mature and understanding.

hampka is a nice person and very funny, but he is a terrible teacher, he won't stay on a particular problem very long even if the rest of the class is struggling! The only people that passed his class were the ones that cheated. He is too high strung and doesn't realizie that some students move at a slower pace.
A true asset to his profession. It is very rare to find a teacher that is passionate about their subject matter. Mr. Hamka's enthusiasm is contagious and his work ethic is admirable. He always found a way to "dumb" things down for us. We all enjoyed the 'kid" and "bus" example. Keep doing what your doing Mr. hamka and good luck with the new baby.
Mr. Hamka is a very easy going instructor who really breaks down each section. He has made math more than easy and he is the funniest instructor I have ever had..he should truly be a comedian. He really is the best!!! Give him a try.
Very hard working teacher. Knows the material really well...and helps students out. Dont expect this class to be a blowoff. THe class it slef is hard, not him. Its the material. He makes the atmosphere easy going...and he is so cute. Real nice guy. The class is quizes and tests, somtimes take home quizes. Good luck
Well where do I begin...he was a great teacher! I hated math but he made math fun and interesting. And yes he is HOTT, but that did not hit me until late in the semester. Anyway he does need to relax some and take his time with those who need the extra attention. Hamka you are cool, just learn to relax and slow down especially intro classes!
People u need to relax. Nobody is perfect. he is doing his job, although i didn't get along at first he knows what he is doing and he helps. No he does not hit on anybody, he just joking. if he does. sometimes he just gets happy about the material he likes to jump around. Always take him, he helps out so much.
Great teacher! makes you love the subject! works you really really hard. Makes you use your brain. Not an easy A at all. passionnate about his job and it shows. and he is very cute too! i aimed for the A, but didnt get it. Love his class, would definitly take him again. Precalc is now a piece of cake after his class.
Mr. Hamka was great!He did many examples,always answered questions at the beginning of class regarding hw.But he did give lots and lots of hw,so u might feel overwhelmed by it.It does become a hassle and a hinderance,it gives u little time to actually study a bit more for tests.But trust me u want to do all the hw.Check his curving,it's a bit iffy.
He's a great teacher. Sometimes he used to bother me when he jokes. He gives a study guide for practicing for the test to help you out and whatever problems on the study guide comes exactly on the test but different numbers. I would recommend him as teacher even though you gotta be in class everyday and work a little hard outside the class.
Mr. Hamka is the best math teacher I've ever had. He's very good at explaining things and showing you how to work out problems. He's a great teacher and I would recommend him to anyone. Plus, he's pretty hot.
very nice teacher i would recommend that everyone who takes math 080 or whatever math class he teaches. I had him in winter 08.
I wish Mr.Hamka teaches me Calc 2. He is the MOST helpful when it comes to tests! I really enjoyed being in his class. He is NOT boring unlike all the others. He is young & cool and teaches us what we NEED to know, not what we don't! There are though some flaws in him in my opinion, BUT compared to other instructors,I don't care about those flaws!
He is the BEST math teacher out there! I wish he could teach other subjects... and he is really cute ;)
Wow this teacher was amazing, honestly I can?t believe how these other students rate him.Mr. Hamka is by far the best teacher I have ever had. He is really fair,and takes good care of his students when they need help with a problem.All I got to say is Thank you So much Mr. Hamka it was a pleasure having you this semester.Hope to see you in calc 2.
Mr. Hamka is the best ever. Thank you so much I would recommend him to every one.
IS.THE.BEST!!!
Some say this, others say that, my saying is that every man was born free and should die free with honor. Mr. Hamka taught us more then just math, he taught us to be good people in and outside of school. He taught us that math is not only in class that it is allover are god for saken world. PS. he is so down to earth. I Love You
The hardest working teacher i know. He is always giving it his best, he tries and does make every class fun. As long as you go to class, PARTICIPATE, and do the homework, you'll be fine. The tests are challenging, they come straight from the lecture notes and homework. By the way, hes gorgeous, no wait, hes HOTT! Like really HOTTT!!
yes he is hot and cute but we are here to LEARN people. I am still taking this class (fall-09)its man hard. Honostly what I heard and read abt him is not all true except he is hot and helful. He gives lots of lots of HW. and his tests are tricky test like PhY Pro. Smith give. Hist study guides are not that much help full.
Calc by nature is hard and challenging to say the least.Hamka was able to effectively teach the material at a level where most are able to understand.He has high standards and he will push you.This class is not a blow off as he does assign HW.I will agree with the last post,he does put people on the spot,espicially if u r sleeping/talking/texting.
I agree with the previous person. He assigns a lot of homework, barely grades any of it, and it doesnt even help with the tests or class. He is also mean to all the students because he thinks he is better than them. He also screws u over if he doesn't like you which he did to me. His tests are also very unfair and so is his grading.
VERYY HOT!!!! and very good teacher not only will he teach you about math but about everyday life... and if you do not do any work of course you will fail or get a lower grade. best math teacher, and the HOTTEST, too bad he is married
Great teacher!!!! he will make sure you understand math. Explains very well and is a fair grader!!! Take him if u want a class that is fun and you will learn something too!!!!
Like someone said before, he is VERY VERY hott!! :) He makes class fun so you really don't know your learning. When the test come a long they are very straight forward. As long as you pay attention in class you shouldn't have any problems with his test! He is my favorite instructor at Henry Ford!
if you wanna take culc, get an A and have fun during the semester, take this awesome teacher. don't make stupid people tell u what to do. if you are ready to pay attention during class, do the homework, and practice, you will be just fine and you will get an A..
One of the few GOOD teachers at HFCC. He is funny, silly but also a big intellectual.I finally understand math. He knows his subject extremely well! Oh yeah HE IS VERY HOT! Nice bonus:))
The most I have learned...ever!Not just about math but about life.He is one of the few profs that will open up and tell it like it is.He shared stories from his life/work experience.I admire him and the success he has achieved at his young age.He is a testament that good guys dont always finish last,and having a great personality will get you far.
I'm a high school student who was really nervous about not being able to understand clac.Mr. Hamka was such a great prof and made learning so much easier and through his stories, also taught us so much about life. Over the course of 8 weeks he has not only taught me calc, but inspired me to be a better person. definately an awesome professor!
Take him! The best teacher ever!!!
THE BEST!! Not only is he eye candy BUT he knows how to teach. I never had questions because he makes everything plain! If your AFRAID of math TAKE HIM!! There are all nationalities in my class and he answeres every question, I have heard him tell students wait til after class BUT thats all races. I would take him for ALL math classes if I could.
Hamka is a very good professor. His grading system and tests are very fair and is generous with points. But, the final was very hard. He also talks about irrelevant subjects for most of the class and does not give a break time for the whole 2.5 hours. He also calls people out, which made me uncomfortable. But, I would still recommend taking him.
Hes young and cute at the same time cocky and rude, he prefers not to answer when you have a questionn in mind, and he doesnt give chances what so ever, homework from the book and online after all you have to have basic math knowledge in order to pass his class becuase the chances of having him answer you are 1 out of 10 cuase he plays favorites.
Very good teacher, Pay attention in class, do the H.W and you'll do fine. Great guy, understanding and smart.
Does not return tests in a timely manner. He is a decent teacher but it is hard to know where you stand in class untill the final weeks.
His class was interesting. He did know his math stuff and taught it good. I will say I think he needs to be tougher on students disrupting the class though. He is a very active teacher and has a lot of side comments that do not pertain to math, but all in all he is a decent teacher!
this guys a trip. i had him for math110. i dropped because i didn't have the stamina to sit through his lecture. it's basic math, but he doesn't return the tests till a month after u take them. and lecture is pointless, completely pointless
took his class in the spring, and it was very easy. he is a very easy to get along with, i never seen him pick favorites or anything like that. As long as you do your homework he will answer any questions you have. However he doesn't return tests in a timely manner so dont rely on that.
He is a really good teacher, he explains everything clearly and his tests aren't very hard. Pay attention, do your hw, and you'll get an A. Oh, and he is pretty freakin hotttt
he is good at teaching, but not good at returning tests. also, he gets sidetracked alot. i don't care about his life, i just wanna learn the math and get the hell outa his classroom before 10.
The best Calc teacher @ HFCC! He explains things clearly, gives practice exams, and allows us to make test corrections. He is hot, and funny...I personally like hearing his stories they make you stop and think about whats important in life. More dads should be as passionate towards their family like him.
Mr. Hamka rocks, he's very helpful, f you look like you don't understand then he will call on you and he's definitely easy on the eyes.
It was a pleasure taking Hamka. He helps you understand the material. There is no one that teaches calc as well as hamka. Online hwk, 4 exams & a final. Practice exams similar to his exams, very helpful. The stories he tells are entertaining. I wish there were more men like him. Please teach Calc2! Oh & he HATES when ppl walk in LATE! Hi Mr. Hamka!
Mr. Hamka can be described my one word. he is PERFECT. he is the best teacher ever<3
Mr.Hamka is one of the most amazing people that a person could meet in his life. Not only he is a perfect instructor, but also a sensitive guy that cares about everyone around him.I wish that Mr.Hamka teaches calc 2 because he is the BEST !!!
took him in 2010. amazing teacher. the class just shouldn't be the last thing in the evening though, because i just wanted to get out of that classroom. he is really cool and tells funny stories. would definitely recommend him to anyone
Nice guy and his tests are just like the studyguides but he sometimes pulls out these random hard problems on the test :/ It pretty much depends on if he likes your class or not. Basically you have to study and get ready to be independent because I feel like he does not help you besides the notes. STUDY!!!
He is a funny guy and his class is real fun. BUT if he doesnt like your class you guys are basically done. he didnt like our class so our test were so much harder then the study guide and previous semesters. also if you went to fordson and know the fordson atitude he has it. pretty annoying sometimes.
bad teacher. He wants a fun class so dont be boring like ours and half the class had to drop cuz how hard the test were. the class is reall fun but if your not goood in math and dont want to study do not take it cause you def. have to study.
Hes very easy to understand and nice. tells A LOT of stories but over all an easy teacher. Only 3 exams and maybe he'll throw in a quiz. not to much homework but lots of notes. def. recommend him!!
Mr. Hamka is a great teacher. He explains things very well. However, his class is not an easy A. You have to put in the time and do all the work. If you study his notes, his guides, and do practice problems from the textbook then you should do just fine.
Touch class, especially because it was in the spring.
He's very helpful. Very funny. He makes math easy, and I am usually terrible at it. As long as your class has fun people, the entire class will be a breeze. His stories are always interesting and he creates a relationship between him and his students. You need the book and MathLab.
He is without a doubt the worst teacher i have ever had very disrespectful and rude to several students in the class. I've never had a teacher completely flat out refuse to answer my questions. He seemed very uninterested in teaching the class, flying through the material not caring if people understand it. I would not suggest this teacher.
Wow very easy piece of cake
Made me hate math.worst teacher ever.he flies through the material and does not care if you understand it or not. Over 40 % of the class dropped cause of how hard it was and everyone ended up with a C or D. don't take him if u don't already know the material he expects students to know everything.he doesn't return the tests till a month after.
Great guy, very fun. He has a passion for the subject and it shows. I would recommend him to anyone. He makes class fun and interesting, and actually teaches, so you understand everything that is going on. No curve balls on exams, he tests what he teachers. Word of advice: stay off your phone in class he hates that.
Best calculus teacher @HFCC! He explains things thouroughly and tests what he teachers, no curve balls. He makes a difficult subject manageable and is a great story teller.
he is very good in explaining he gives a study guide which is lost identical to your test he is very nice just show him that you care and work hard and you will get your A+
He teaches very fast His test are very hard
GREAT TEACHER, YOUTHFUL AND GREAT ADDITUDE. TREATS EVERYONE EQUAL. MAKES CLASS FUN, BUT DEFINITELY A NO EXCUSES GUY. MY FAVORITE TEACHER SO FAR. EXTRA POINTS FOR ATTENDANCE.
If you're not a good a test taker, don't take his class. Everything is based off the tests. You get loads of homework and literally no credit for it. He's rude and doesn't help you when you ask. Going over test results he does it right in front of the class, so there's no privacy. All I can say, is good luck if you take him!
He gives a lot of homework, but i believe thats how you learn the material. If he didn't give the amount he did, personally I don't believe I would've learned. Unlike most professors he goes over any questions you have and explains thoroughly . He definitely knows how to teach math, best math professor/ teacher I've ever had, hands down.
Professor Hamka is by far the most significant, most genuine teacher I have ever had in my life. If you have the opportunity to take him, please take it immediately as he profoundly takes care of his students and makes sure everybody understands his lectures and tells personal stories in the free time that makes us feel connected to him.
Teaches very well but jokes around all of class and doesn't give second chances on quizzes or homework. I wouldn't take this class unless you know you will stay on top of your work. Miss more than a day and get ready to fail, he doesn't let you leave early and blasts people in front of the class.
soooooooo much homework. no second chances. makes everything more complicated. beware if you take this class you have a 90% chance of failing.
Not very communicative and seems to be annoyed when you email him TWICE! I took his online class and dropped it the next week. I still have to pay for it but I dont care Ill pay any amount to not deal with this unprofessional person. HE WONT ANSWER YOUR EMAILS AND HES NOT VERY LENIENT
This professor is very easy!! homework per week and is very helpful. his lectures are easily accessible whenever! do your work show it to him and you're in a good position. Loved his class
