I didn't like Osama at first, however by the end of the semester I loved him! He has a great sense of humour. He goes at a fast pace, however if you have a question don't be afraid to ask and he'll do his best to answer and clarify. He tells you what kinds of questions will be on the exam and prepares you very well.

Math isn't my strongest subject but the class was fine. His midterms are basically questions from his lectures.

Not sure why his rating is so high. It is easy to do well in this course but it is an insane amount of work. Many of the assignments and tests were super repetitive, took many hours, and were only worth 5 or 10%.

Not a fan of the way Osama covers easy questions, and then gives very hard questions on exams and assignments. He mentioned this himself. Unless you seriously take the time to soak in and comprehend every single piece of information, you will have a difficult time. Other than that, he gives pretty good notes

Lots of homework
