He is a very good professor. He explains well, gives good notes and responds to e-mails. He wants his students to learn...of course there are always bums and lazy ones that expect to do nothing and graduate with an A...WAKE UP your in college not 1st gr
good teacher, but isn't so knowledgeble in his field. classes boring sometimes.
he is a great professor. He knows what he is talking about and he tries his best to make sure his students understand. His tests are not bad as long as you review them. I didnt even need to buy the text book.
nice easy-going guy. very clear lectures. wants everyone to understand. definitely recommended.
GOOD PROFESSOR, STRAIGHT FORWARD & EXPLAINS WHAT YOU WILL GET ON EXAMS. TAKE HIM!! GOT A b+ & I LEFT THE CLASS LEARNING.
nice professor..do not need to buy a book if you take good notes..Study notes and you will get sorta A..
He has a heavy Indian accent, but still not that hard to understand. His biggest problem is his exams. He gives many pages of notes but when he gives the test, the questions seem out of this world. The questions are so different than from what is discusse
Hes a very good Professor and CARES wheather we understand it or not.He gives so many examples for you to comprehend it,and drills it in. Very Lenient and fair grader. Only 3exams. Definitely recommended!TAKE HIM IF U CAN. YOULL LEAVE LEARNING
GREAT PROFESSOR!!,Definitely take him or regret!, the whole class wished he taught 106 as well!..easy to learn understand. I didnt like economics before but now i do!..TAKE HIM!
i finally enjoy economics!.. well, kinda
This is my 3rd time talking macro, and this is the first time I actually liked what I learned. He is so clear about what he is teaching. He really cares that you know what you are learning. He tries to make you understand- even if you don't care.
He wants you to do well. Great guy.
He is a good teacher. He explained the material very well and gave us a break about buying the text books-gave us thorough notes.
u DONT NEED THE textbook, jus go 2 class...exam questions are confusing. he kept telling us he was a reely easy grader but a lot of people ended up getting C's.
Confused the sh*t out of me! I went to most of the classes, understood what he taught, went home, and no clue what the man was talking about. If you are one of those smart people that completely absorb everything said in class, then you'll be fine.
VERY HELPFUL! DO NOT BOTHER TO BUY THE BOOK. HIS NOTES ARE EFFICIENT ENOUGH. THE GOOD THING ABOUT HIM IS HE MAKES SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. VERY GOOD MAN! TAKE HIM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!:)
really nice guy
no need for the textbook, his notes are more than enough. explains the material well and will go over the concepts if you don't understand what's going on.
explain the material well,tests are quite easy.
A really good guy. He tries to make it a point that you understand the material...as much as possible. His notes are more than enough. The topics are hard and sometimes he has trouble explaining them. But overall he's pretty good.
He gives helpful notes and tests us on notes. The class is good overall.
This guy is a good teacher who knows what he's talking about, but the language barrier can be a bit of a problem.
He's really nice, but something difficult to understand. He gets in bad moods sometimes, but always makes sure that people understand what he is talking about. Over all a nice guy, but his notes and teaching style are not the easiest
awesome guy. Do well on his final and you are set! He is very helpful and will definitely help you out!
Very good, book not required, gives excellent notes; have a good ear, listen, take notes, study and you'll get an A. I wish he taught ECO 106 so I could have him again. Not a wast of time. Very helpful and caring to all! Please take, you won't regret. Very respectful if you give respect.
Gr8 teacher easy grader. No book, just use ur notes, easy tests and gives u 100(1/5 of ur total grade) just for attending the class.
Great professor. Gives excellent notes. Always writes everything on the board and exams are based on notes only. If you pay attention in class, you'll do well. Also, makes sure that class understands material.
most caring professor I have ever had. very nice guy and does whatever he can to make everyone understand. notes are all you need for the test bc they are extremely thorough..don't buy textbook. Take his class
Very good professor. Cares that you get the material. No need for textbook. Just study his notes. This professor is awesome. Highly recommended!
Perhaps I would like him better if he would just turn in our grades to SARS. Not very on the ball when it comes to that.
there is no language barrier-he does have an accent, but he's still pretty clear. VERY helpful, and a great professor. he makes sure you understand. very nice. I'd definitely take him again. AND you don't need a textbook for his class. what more could you want?
Moody, hard to understand, unclear...
This professor is great, one of my fav's. He gives great notes, and if you need help, he WILL NOT GO ON until you understand. HE answers all questions, and his notes are so good, you know the material. He also barley gives HW. We only got 2 Hw assignments for 3 months. Hightly reccomended professor. He cares about HIS STUDENTS.
At first the material covered was hard to understand, but when I reread the notes I understood everything and did well on my test.
Raed is a very nice man who makes sure everything is understood by all who choose to care. He gets a little moody at times, but will help you if you show effort in the class. No language barrier - he writes everything on the board.
A little hard to understand at first, but after you get into the class things clear up. Really helpful and goes over things as many times as needed.
He knows what he is talking about. However, getting that information out could be a problem.
Raed is a very good professor and had a great understanding of the field. He is easy to understand and always helpful. Highly recommended!
Alkhasawneh is a good professor. He seems to care alot about his students, and is very focused on explaining everything in great detail so everyone will understand. He is helpful, and gives good notes.
Raed is good at fully explaining the topics and makes sure you are ready for his exams. He has a good personality and is easy to speak to.
He is a great teacher. very helpful in explaining the material. sincere in his desire tht his students should do well. not much work. the tests are fair if you study.
Don't let the thick accent fool you. He's easy to understand and very open to questions. You rarely get HW. The tests are easy and straight from the notes. He's a good guy, no complaints, but lots of notes (2 pages front and back every lecture but most of it's graphs).
I was fooled by ratemyprofessor.com my this professor. I am sure he is a cool guy...but I and my fellow classmates have no idea what this guy is talkin bout. His exams are so different then what he teaches.
He's a good professor. Clear and Steady. No Surprises. Really cares you do well. Test a little confusing for me but everyone in the class seems ok. I would reccommend him.
Doesn't require the book but I would recommend getting it because his exams are sometimes different from notes. Not a bad guy.
Great teacher, knows his stuff and very understanding.
I was very interested in econ. before I took his class. It was totally worth it. I learned alot from him. He stopped constantly to make sure that any question was answered. He doesnt make anyone feel stupid and I all out loved this class.
Will totally recommend him. He's a great professor; makes sure you understand everything he teaches and always stops for questions. Exams are pretty easy. Take him!
not clear, and hates the class if there is no participation, my class did not participate and therefore he hated us, very boring and if you don't know an answer makes it seem as though you could possibly be the most assinine person on the planet, Good luck with Raed!
horrible. he may be easy but he'll mess with your grade at the end! doesnt take attendence, doesn't grade hw, your grade is based on 3 tests which are very hard and not quite what you'll be familiar with. very confusing. heard it once.. hear it again.. hes a nice ****.
Did not buy the book and did perfectly fine. He's a very clear teacher and answers any question--always stops for them. Very understanding too; lets you take makeup exams. The exams are exactly what we learn in class, except the wording at times may confuse you. He doesn't grade your homeworks though...just graded by the tests.
Great professor, u don't need the textbook. explains everything, make sure you ask questions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
He is NOT as nice as he looks like. Lazy and smoke right after the class. Did not want to spend any minute after class to help his poor students. Tests are confused if you study the notes, and always mess with the grade... All fact reflects that he treats his student's future as a cigarette----enjoy the process and trample it underfoot at the end.
He is a fair teacher and you will do fine in the class if you simply pay attention and study for tests. Your grade is determined by approximately 3 tests. He tells you that you do not really need the book, but it definitely helped me out.
Worst ever!!!!!!!!!!
hes really nice and his main concern is that you do well in the class. you dont really need the textbook, just go to class and take his notes and you'll be fine. there are 3 tests, doesnt check hw, its only used for test review. the exam questions are confusing though. he only gets really pissed when you talk during class.
Take good notes
He's a great professor! Will help you no matter what! u ca e-mail him or call him, he'll help. show respect and u'll be fine. Also, what's wrong with him smoking? (c above) mind ur own business & u'll walk out of class knowing a lot about Macro & have a good great.
most important = your notes! no need to buy a book; barely takes attendance; very helpful. exam questions are tricky though so you gotta understand the material well. helps ALOT during tests if you ask questions (basically gave me answers when i was stuck). barely any hw. easy A/B
Great Professor and sooo nice! He helps you a lot and he's really fair. Just make sure you come to class and take good notes and you should be fine. There is no need to buy the book and he goes over the homeworks in class gives good notes and explains so well. He is one of my fav professors and hes very understanding!! Take him !!
Unfortunately many more kids had deceived by this shameless "man". It looks like human being because it is getting slier. Ask anyone you know who took its Eco 105 in spring 2006, you will realize how unfair it is! Raed Alkhasawneh, stop hiding you shamelessness!
Great professor. Knows the material very well. No need to buy the book, just pay attention and take notes. He writes everything on the board. He'll repeat anything you don't understand, all you have to do is ask. Goes over the hw in class. Pay attention in class and you'll be fine.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Make sure you come to each class and take notes. Notes are very helpful. He goes over anything you do not understand. He teaches at a steady pace and gives minimal hw. His tests are fair. Def take him.
this man knows nothing about economics.... he should find the supply and demand of camels in arabia
Very Good Professor! Just go to class and take good notes. You don't need to buy the book. Tests are not difficult, there simple. Easy A.
Great Prof. his notes are very useful and attendance is not mandatory. 3 quiz two tests =).
For who are scared of the word economics, this man will put it in simple terms for you and make it manageable. Everything is laid out in lectures. Nothing is on test that is not discussed in class. He will make sure you understand the material. It is a non-stress class, but educational. Great guy.
He is an alright teacher. Hard to understand a bit. Gives reviews but the review is nothing like the test. study study!!
this guy is a bad professor. hes indian and has an accent which is hard to understand. his notes are simple but when it comes to the test its nothing like you had in your notes. his questions for the example are horrible and it sometimes he asks questions that you never learned before. the good thing about him is that he doesnt use the text book.
this teacher had tough tests but somehow i ended up with an A
Easy professor, easy A, if you get anything lower than an A...you need to be extremely lazy and dumb because he gives you all the answers to the quiz.
Very helpful, met with me at my convenience and really made me understand the material!
