If you have to take math, take Nuri. Makes a almost incomprehensible subject "easy". His ability to "teach" is what makes the difference. Very helpful, will go the extra mile for his students to make sure they "learn". Nuri made mathmatics something I "feared" to something I "own". One of the best teachers I have ever had!

He is very nice and has a great sense of humor; willing to help you if you stop by his office.

Just because he is organized means nothing to me.he is hard to talk to. And when you ask him for help he is very rude to you.

NOt a good teacher.
