Mr. Okasha was the first teacher that made me actually like math. He really takes you step-by-step and is very generous with extra points on tests if he sees you putting in extra effort in and outside of class. He has a great sense of humor!

Wow, This semester was the first time I had taken math in about 6 years and boy did I luck out with Mr.O'Kasha he is awesome. It's a shame that the school wastes his talent on such low math classes he is far smarter than any teacher that DBCC has to offer

Mr. OKasha is an excellent instructor. I would recommend him to anyone. He does expect you to come to class and take notes . I have grown as a math student since taking his classes. His expertise reflects in his lectures . This instructor should be teaching the higher level math classes here. The dropout rate for math would decrease dramaticlly.

Awesome teacher! Very involved with class, always encouraging questions. Explanations are clear and willing to go over all material. He really enjoys teaching math. I was never any good at math before and with him I'm understanding it. I will be taking him for my other math classes if hes and option.

Professor Okasha has the patience and knowledge to explain every concept and formula thoroughly. He taught us step by step how to solve problems using the graphic calculator. I liked his class and I highly recommend him for everyone. He is a very nice person.

This professor really cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed. He goes out of his way to create notes to help you better understand the material, as the book can sometimes be a little fuzzy in certain sections. Would definitely recommend any friend to take his course for the future.

This teacher made math so much fun, but most importantly, SUPER EASY AND UNDERSTANDABLE. I hate math so much that I burned through all my English requirements, so now I have no choice. Finals are this week, and I have to say, this was the best experience I have had with math in my LIFE. I am SO sad he won't be at my campus next semester!!

Okasha was very angry most of the class period and would take out his frustrations on students. I saw a few adults actually cry during the semester. He is good at what he teaches, he just doesn't teach Mat0028 very well. If you didn't understand then that was that. He would only teach you one way. On the day of the final he said "Don't mess it up".

Will only take math with him from now on.Took it last sem. got a D. This time got an A. He makes it SIMPLE & is genuinely concerned w/ his students. Yeah, he gets angry but only when students don't try hard enough. He explains things SO much better than the book!Great TEACHER!. YES, he TEACHES and EXPLAINS & gives many examples to study.

Great professor! Took his class over the summer and there is a lot of work, but if you take notes and do his reviews, you'll get an A. Very good at posting grades. Said we would never have to use the book but I didn't believe him at first, but I only used the book once. Definitely would recommend. I'd never take a math class that he isn't teaching.

He is very helpful to the students! He wants you to pass and will help you any way he can. If you are worried about taking 1028 take his class. You will be surprised at what you will learn and retain to move on to 1033.

I wish I had taken this professor for my previous math classes. He's an excellent teacher. Wants to help you pass and if you're putting forth the effort he will help as much as he can. Likes for students to ask questions and participate. Good sense of humor; keeps the class light.

He is an amazing math teacher for every type of math student. He is there to help you and will help you for as long as you need as long as you show up to his class and are not disrespectful. Those are of course things he does not tolerate and I agree with that. Also I passed college algebra completely off of his notes, I DID NOT USE A TEXTBOOK!

He is a great teacher as long as you try hard. He is pretty easy on grading. He has a pretty thick accent so beware if you have trouble with accents. That is the only problem with him. I highly recommend him. I was absent for a week because I was sick, and he worked with me to make up the work. Unlike other teachers, he wants you to pass.

After being out of school for many years, I didn't remember a lot of math. He was wonderful. At first I thought I was going to drop out. But he knew I was struggling and helped a lot, not just me he helped but many of us. As long as you attend the class and do your homework and respect him, you will pass. And he's hot for an older man:)

Okasha is the BEST PROF. ever! Once he see you change over the course of time and become a hard worker, he will help you pass the course. He teaches well and ALWAYS takes notes on whatever he wrote down or teaches. You will pass the exam and the course even if the only thing you uses is the notes he wrote down that you wrote down. I recommend him

Prof Okasha is the BEST professor ever. He will make you think and understand the material which you supposed to have since its college. is class is moderate easy as long as you work hard and do your homework and study for tests. His notes are the best. Use the supplementary notes he post whenever you have trouble on some sections of the book.

I took Rafaat Okasha after failing the college algebra class in summer with another teacher. He is really caring, if he sees that you are trying he will help with everything. You have to do a little staff and can get good mark. He is the best teacher I have ever had. If you in a trouble just say him and explain situation, he will understand you.
