Had this guy for college algebra,he does provide extra credit, however his tests were the most difficult problems in the text book. Lecture involves going over the examples in the book, and overall he failed 3/4 of the class. I would definetly search for an alternate professor for this class.

Yeah, don't take him. The homework and quizzes are fairly easy (BE WARNED, THERE'S A LOT) but the tests are definitely not. I wouldn't say he's totally unhelpful, but not particularly helpful either. I asked for extra credit and he worked something out. Super heavy accent though so it's hard to understand him too. I took him for Pre-Calc.

This professor is by far the worst math teacher I've had. His lectures are very fast paced so you spend most of the time writing instead of actually understanding the material. Expect a ton of homework. And the tests look nothing like the practice problems he does in class or in the homework. I highly recommend you choose a different professor.

Aslam goes through every step necessary to understand and is helpful, but you have to constantly be asking and on top of your grades. His exams are max 15 questions and are usually modeled after the toughest review questions. Do the reviews over and over and find someone to do them with.

So the concepts taught are a cake walk for anyone who has taken algebra 2 or above. The work is there but can be easily done in the lab. However, my main gripe with him is how he grades this work. It isn't hard mind you, but he tends to knock points off for criteria that was never mentioned. Also you can't see your grade on canvas for some reason.

Legit steer as far away as possible from this class. He took easy topics and explained them in the most complicated way humanly possible. Anyone who left with an A already had extensive knowledge of math/ had tutors on the side. He is extremely hardheaded, does not check his email, assigns far too much busywork, and has the thickest accent ever.

Nadeem is from India which makes his accent very difficult to understand. You need to take 4 tests that equal 11% of your grade and a final worth 25%. There are a lot of assignments you have to do and are required to attend 2 hours a week at the math lab and 1 hour in the math gym and do pre-class assignments. Test Reviews are what made me pass.

Professor Aslam is an alright teacher. I took him for a relatively easy course which meant he was there for assigning work and helping with challenges, not necessarily teaching the subject. I do not recommend him for challenging courses. The was 4 solo projects, a pre-class assignment, in-class worksheet (did not turn in), and two HW assignments.

After reading all of the reviews, I felt really bad. He is a really nice professor and blaming your lack of understanding on his accent is not the way to go. At the end of the day, you need to actually put effort and attend the review sessions he has before tests. I think I just failed the first test, but I could have done more.

The class itself is harder than expected, lectures are kind of hard to keep up with and your grade will be defined by test results (there are many). However, Nadeem cares a lot for students and will help you as much as possible to pass the class. If you study a lot and attend to the math lab for help you can pass the class.

He's nice but his teaching style is not for everyone. But super easy course, it's pretty much basic middle school/high school algebra plus a little bit of pre-calc. Quizzes are identical to homework, and you're allowed to retake them. If you can have enough self-discipline to do the homework and study a little on your own, you'll end with an A.

Aslam is not an engaging teacher, but he is aware of the subject. Due to the class size, I suppose that's why his teaching style is just rewriting a worksheet.
