Very nice teacher, tries to help in any way. gives bonus material and almost no homework. his class was very hard to me but i am very bad at math. if you are a diciplined person and study what he tells you to, then you should be fine.

yes he's very helpful..if you don't understand something he's more than willing to give you the help you need the only thing you have to do is ask

Excellent teacher and fun to joke around with in class. He has a good sense of humor even though you have to pay attention to understand him sometimes. I recommend HIGHLY. You WILL learn and you WILL pass!

I thought the teacher did very well. He is a nice guy, and he tries to make calculus not so tedious. He is willing to work with you, and he makes sure you understand before he goes to another subject.

Awesome teacher.

Abudiab is one of the nicest professors that I have met at UAH. He teaches very well, and he makes sure that you aren't bogged down with too much work. His tests are a bit hard, but only if you never study.

Very helpful and friendly.

This class is fairly easy and the instructor's quality is irrelevant considering that the entire course is online. But, he's generally helpful and makes very funny empirical comparisons to math concepts

Very helpful, fun, sometimes hard to understand (language), but he doesn't mind repeating himself, he makes sure everyone understands everything before moving on, tests are moderate to hard, requires studying(!!), but he does allow index cards with formulas (great plus)!

You have to study..but at this point in your school career..you shouldnt expect it any other way. He has a thick accent but he definetly will repeat himself as many times necessary and takes the time out to learn about his students. Tests come directly from homework which is awesome. Great teacher.

Abudiab is NOT a difficult teacher. If you show up, do the homework, do the Matlab assignments and such you will quite likely get out of his classes with no less than a B. I wouldn't reccommend him for Cal C but anything below that I definitely give him 2 thumbs up. If you ask him to clarify then he will and he was very open to questions in my mind

Well his teaching can be a little confusing. He tried to make Cal A easy, but did not succeed sometimes. He does make himself very available, though. It benefits to go to him outside of and after class. He tries to grade fairly. Aside from the quality of his teaching, he is a really cool guy. He knows & recognizes if you've put forth the effort.

Easy teacher. Says exactly want is going to be on the test. Homework is extremely easy. But if you don't like matlab avoid this teacher. He loves matlab and gives matlab homework assignments.

Seriously, I have no idea where people come off saying he's not helpful, etc (because it's anonymous of course). He stays BEYOND his office hours, for hours if necessary He's very smart and a well rounded person. Take this class and pass easily and have the experience of an amazing teacher. -Walden

Good teacher. Most test questions came from problems he suggests for practice. Do the practice problems and you'll be fine. Quizzes and Maple every other week but they are easy. Also he is a very leniant grader and will give points back every so often on tests.

It was a pleasure taking Linear Algebra with Professor Abudiab. He's a great teacher, his tests can be a little challenging but very fair, he gives you a decent amount of work outside of class, and all in all he's just a great professor. If you can take him, do so! He gets an A+ from me.

He was one of the coolest teachers i have ever had. he is really helpful and a huge lsu fan. i just took is final. i have to admit it sucked pretty bad though.

This professor makes learning MA120 soooooo easy and fun. He will help you out and much as you ask and he posts a practice test on ANGEL before every test that is almost identical to the actual test you will take. PS: He LOVESSSSSSS LSU Tigers!!!!!

He explains pretty much all the homework problems in class..i loved the class because I understood his method of teaching. I would recommend him. The only warning i have is he puts the HARDEST problems on the test. So when studying study the harder problems cause that is what he will put on the tests. Other than that he was awesome!

He is a great teacher despite the language barrier. He goes out of his way to make sure that you know the material before leaving the class and he is usually willing to stay after to answer questions. Take him if you have the chance!

The best math professor I've ever had. He is approachable, friendly, and honest. He does lots of example problems and doesn't bother with those imcomprehensible word problems (could be a bad thing, but I appreciated it).

His test are difficult. If he says it's not going to be on the test, it will be. However, he is one of the best lecturers I've ever had. I may have not done extremely well on his test, but I knew the material.

Excellent Professor. He is THE BEST lecturer I have had yet. His tests can be a bit tricky at some points though.

I really enjoyed this class. The key to doing well in this class is doing all of the suggested homework problems that he gives you at the beginning of the semester. The study guides are very helpful for the tests. He is a very good teacher. If you are unsure of something....ASK QUESTIONS!!

Would have been nice to get homework back, but nothing was too hard. You pretty much need to know everything for the test he gives.

He's very nice, but the class is boring. Mine was at 8 a.m. so it was very hard to get myself to go. The class was pretty easy, I didn't pay attention and taught myself out of the book, but he screwed everyone over with the final. It was nothing like the other tests.

It had been 8 years since I've taken math and this teacher was amazing. He makes sure you get the material before moving on to the next. He also gives as much points as possible if you talk to him about your test/quiz. Math does come easy to me but after not taking any classes for 8 years, I feel he did wonderful.

Very good at explaining the rules of calculus but no so much the applications. Workload is moderate but his tests can be very tedious if you haven't brushed up on your Algebra skills. If you haven't taken calculus before and don't mind studying a bit I highly recommend this professor.

Mr. Abudiab is a great person and very approachable and helpful. However his tests were very hard, and most of the time looked nothing like the problems we covered in class. He also used a grading scale completely different from what was stated in the syllabus.

Very attentive & enthusiastic. Makes an effort to be as detailed as possible with time available. Helpful and does a good at job in explaining things logically.

English is his second language which makes understanding him hard at times, but he tries harder to help you because of that. He is extremely helpful. Go to his office hours. The final was super easy but tests 2 and 3 were difficult. He gave me the best recommendation of my life. I'm still in contact with him.

Mr. Abudiab is extremely helpful and willing to go over anything you don't understand or haven't looked at in years. Take notes and do the problems he says to do and you will be fine!

Really helpful guy. Nothing to out of the ordinary on his tests, and fair amount of homework for the course. I would take him again

Best professor ever. Understood his lectures perfectly, even w/accent. made sure students understood. gave study sheets for exams, often exams recovered sections from prior exam. hw pulls up grade, thought he was too lenient on extending the deadline to those who were irresponsible. willing to answer any questions. funny and intelligent man

He does try to help, but is disorganized. Homework was assigned/collected at random. He would call out homework problems or bonus problems then forget which ones he assigned. The examples in class tended to be much easier than the test questions. Would have dropped if I didn't have a great PASS leader. Great teacher if you are good at calculus.

Great professor. He gives clear guidelines on what tests will cover and grades fairly. Also, he was pretty laid back; being in his class was almost relaxing!

Nizar is a great teacher. I found his tests to be extremely difficult. He also assigns a great deal of homework, but I came out of his class knowing Cal A very well. He made a few mistakes grading my exams, but when asked to explain the problems he graded wrong, he would catch his mistake and correct it. Great professor for really learning calc.

Nizar is a good teacher. He is really helpful and understanding if you forget to turn in a homework (he gives a lot of homework). He gives a quiz pretty much every class, but he lets you drop a lot of them. The quizzes and all the exams are easy, except the final. The final was terrible. The book is also very helpful

Had him for Intro Linear Algebra. Lectures focused on method, then theory (wearisome but complete). Quizzes everyday, but plenty of notice/ review before. Instruction sometimes confusing, but very open to feedback. Strongly prefers students show early and stay till the end. Shortcomings aside, he bears Golden Teaching Attribute: he cares about you.

This guy is really all about respect. He will be rude if you are. He will be nice if you are. He is super retentive about attendance. He genuinely cares about his students, and wants to see you succeed.

He could be challenging to follow at times, but he was always respectful when answering questions, and would review previous material if the class looked to be having a hard time following. He would work a lot of problems in class. The tests were hard, but he gave partial credit.

One of the best linear algebra professors at UAH.

Linear Algebra is the equivalent of color-by-number for adults and he taught the class exceptionally well. I understood every topic he taught. I stumbled a bit during the tests because he may have only briefly touched on the topic or he did not stress the material and I figured it was unimportant, so be sure to review EVERYTHING.

He's a really nice guy who cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. At times, I felt like he could have explained the material better. Plan to have homework or study for a quiz most nights. We had several take home quizzes as well. Overall, not the best teacher I've ever had, but good.

He is such good professor. I as a student found this class to be three key things. First, fun. I learned so much maths. Second, enlightening. I feel like math all in my head gives me answers to the world. Third, Genius. After this class I feel like a Math Champion. Thank you Professor Abudiab.

I loved having Abudiab as a Professor. He really cares about his students and will bend over backwards to help you out. I think he gets a bad reputation because He is an old-school style teacher. You really have to work extra problems beyond the minimal homework he assigns to do well. He pulls most of his test questions straight from the book tho.

Nizar is a great Cal A professor. Don't let the reviews scare you away from taking him. If you're like me and you pay attention in class, you will get an easy A. If you're like the other kids in my small summer class that play games on their computers and phones, try to skip, and don't care about school, then you should just not take Cal A at all.

Nizar is a great teacher. If you pay attention to class, do the homework and the in class activities you will easily get an A. What's on his tests is not any different from what we see in class. He also offers a lot of extra credit opportunity. If you're a responsible and hardworking student, you will definitely get an A.

Mr. Abudiab is a great professor. He is caring, and does a lot better of a job than some other math teachers I have had in the past. He offers plenty of extra credit opportunities on challenging exams. If you are willing to put fourth at least a little effort you will pass, if you study hard, you can get an A for sure.

Dr. Abudiab is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His tests are not hard so long as you do at least a couple hours of studying. 12% of the grade are Quizzes/Group Quizzes so attendance is very important. There's been extra credit opportunities on 2/4 tests so far. Dr. Abudiab is a great guy who cares for his students in and out of the class.

I adore Mr. Zar! He is caring and truly wants his students to succeed. I enjoyed his teaching style; he used real-world examples to explain different mathematical concepts. He also appreciates feedback from his students and emphasizes the importance of asking questions in his class. As long as you pay attention and ask for help, you'll be alright!
