He is Nice Teacher
No Comments
He is a very good teacher, sometimes he might get off topic but he know wat he is talking abt. he gives you real life problem, he makes math interesting and i would recomend to take him but you will have to study for his exams.
He is so nice
A very good teacher. God bless him.
the best best of the best!!!

I took his online class. He answered my e-mails very fast. He also gives extra credit. Highly recommended!
great teacher, very helpful, strongly recommand his class.
Talks about other stuff except math
If he is such a great prof how come everyone is failing his class?
An excellent professor. You will grasp the math concept and excel in all other math classes thereafter.He gives extra credit and is a truly understanding professor. However, should you be a slacker then look for other options.But for all those seeking to excel in college, i highly recommend that you take Ghamasae.
This guy is 10 times better than Mayfield. I had them both, and Ghamasaee is by far the better and easier teacher.
knows math inside&out, provides examples in class that are very similar to those on test. gives partial credit
Wonderful professor, knows his stuff. Able to keep you interested in the subject.
Even though I was a lazy student that had to drop the class, he really is helpful. You need to ask him to help you, because his lectures can be confusing sometimes, but he is there, and only if you ask for the help.
He made the class fun even though calc can be really boring. He knows the information and he made the class think and exercised our minds. I would recommend him to anyone needing 1425. He can relate to the students whether you are young or old.
The best of the bests. He makes sure you learn the stuff which will be helpful in the following math classes.
great teacher!! Very helpfull if you have any questions.. Made math seems easy. Often made jokes, and kept the class fun.. He talks a lot, though..
I read all of these great comments about this teacher, I have no clue what they are talking about. He dosent stay focused in class, during one class he told us about what his daughter was learning in middle school. If your already are good at algebra give him a try, but if you need an actual teacher don't take his class or you will fail!
I agree with the last comment. I don't understand how anyone can call him a good professor. He goes by his own rules and his tests are almost irrelevant to the material. He doesn't care if the whole class is failing- he will even inform you that most of the class will probably drop (reassuring, right?). [&] His lectures are difficult to understand.
Lets be honest Guys...this professor is good in telling funny stories...which they will not help you pass the class...at teaching, he's not good at all...be smart in choosing your teachers and always try to keep away from professors that dont care if you understand the subject or not...the biggest problem that this professors has is that he does no
good professor, as long as you do your homework and review his examples you'll pass this class. he won't be easy for lazy students because you need to practice to learn math. that's the true that many people don't want to face. If you want a easy A, forget it...you need to open your book and practice!!
I cant argue with the intelligence of the teacher but i dont think he can teach well. Though calculus 2 is not an easy subject, he teaches only 2 or 3 examples and even doesnt gives an introduction to chapters like telling formulas , etc which will let you to be in trap later. he seems to be a cozy teacher but he isnt'.
Ok I personally liked him, but truth be told he is not a great professor. His test like stated earlier are nothing like what we learned, he talks way to much about everything that is not math taking away from time he could be teaching causing us to have to rush everything at the end of the semester. DO NOT TAKE HIM. He is a awesome person to talk 2
I took him for summer 1 and i thought that he taught very well and he is very clarified. I dropped the class because it was too much with my work schedule but if he is teaching in the fall I would so take his class! Just pay attention and take notes and you will easily pass his class! :D
He will give a chance as long as you try.

He was the nicest most helpful math teacher I've had so far. I don't easily understand math but he was so very helpful and even though I didn't pass, I had the highest 093 grade yet (sad to say). With Mr. G's help I'm sure this next time I'll pass for sure<3
I had to drop his class. very enjoyable personality. knows the subject through and through. doesnt show enough examples though. make sure you have a grip on the subject BEFORE taking this class. his tests are derpartmental, but he does brag about being harder than the other profs. gives partial credit on tests but also demands that work be shown.
I beleive that he is a really good teacher and he has really high understanding of math and he is really fun sometimes.he helps u if u have any problems or he often stays to answer to any question i think he is a very helpful teacher but the bad thing is the homeworks which is a lot but overall i believe he is a great teacher.
I struggled in this class only b/c i wasn't on top of my hw. This class involves a TON of hw so you have to be ready for that, but the professor is very kind and funny too! If you ask him to go over something, he will and he really wants everyone to succeed but he wont pass you just to pass you. It is a very fast paced class!!! BE PREPARED TO WORK!
Do not take his trig class. He skipped ch 1.(the first 118 pgs in the book that I'm sure were important).He says he expects everyone to be an expert at algebra, so he will not review.Only gives 1 or 2 examples.Difficult 10-20 question exams and has no prob failing you.My class started w/ 26 students and by the time I dropped there were 12.
I took his Cal 2 class and It was very hard to me to go with his teaching. Tests were easy but his grading is too strict that will lead to poor grade to most of student. Though he is a good person to talk with but is a Hard professor.
very strict very hot
Extremely difficult both in teaching and understanding students. I have had 4 of my friends drop his class.I wish i had told them earlier!
He's one of those teachers who cares about his students truely understanding the subject. If you don't understand, you don't pass. The tests are 10 questions: no room for error.
"Thanks God"
Stay away. by all means stay away. he is the worst teacher ive ever taken. i love math and am very good at it but he wants to give you test questions that are impossible for a student at our level. Do Not Take. Please listen to me. If you take his class you are guaranteed an F 9 out of the 17 students failed and 4 dropped. Seriously RUN!!!!!
He was pretty good.. 4 exams in total. You seriously have to WORK HARD in this class.. i mean you'll flunk it if you miss a couple of days. Overall great professor.. hard exams. So ya'll better work if you get him... if not look elsewhere cos he aint easy
Very hard class to take but that's because he actually cares that the students learn. Teacher keeps the class entertaining considering its such a glum subject. If you put in the time for this class, you will pass. It seems like most these others didn't want to try.
You will totally have to teach yourself. He is a nice person but if you are not really good at math you will for sure fail this class. sorry
If math is important for your career, dont ever venture to take this man's class. You will totally get frustrated.You may end up taking the course many times.Moreover, he is full of discouraging statements which affects students focus and perfomance. He will make you know why you should fail based on pepercentage of failure in college algebra. This
horrible teacher
NEVER TAKE HIM PLEASE, he's just so jerk, i was having A in online homework, but still at the end of the semester he gave me a C.
if u wanna learn math,then go for it
If you are hard working, and interested in math then i would suggest for you to take his class. he is so helpful and honest. he really take care of the student learning style and ability. he helped me a lot. he is a kind and his teaching style is so good, i never feel like i want to drop or quit the class. one thing is that, you also need to be goo
really hard papers
1. You can always negotiate about extending your assignments. Dr. G is a good person to speak to. The class requires a lot of homework...His tests are usually a bit harder that an average homework but he gives bonus assignments in the test, which are very helpful to increase a grade.
Very Good Professor.I started out knowing literally nothing about algebra but he allowed me to sit in on another class he taught so I could catch up. Keeps his word and is professional.
Hes is a really good trig teacher. hes funny, hes understanding, he helps you out, he doesnt want anyone to fail but if you dont try, then he cant do much to help you out. i really enjoyed his class. tests are fair and short. homework is the same for all trig classes. over all ide give him an A- :D
HORRIBLE TEACHER!! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!
Ok this class has been the first one that i have failed and it wasnt just me we were like 9 in that class and like 2 drop out and 5 of us failed and i know cause i have been retaking the class with them. I know he is pretty smart but that doesnt mean that he knows how to teach
He is very difficult. His tests are very hard. If you want to fail this course go with him.
I have a 3.8 GPA and I consider myself to be decent at math. This professor is extremely difficult, NO extra credit, NO partial credit on tests (no joke), and extremely vague test reviews. He is not very effective in getting his point and he purposely makes the class a million times harder than it needs to be. **STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE**
Overalls, he doesnt want any students failed his classes. His classes arent hard at all, as long you do homework assignment, you would be fine or do well on the test. Make sure you understand all example on the books because that's exactly he give you on the test. Good luck!
I took him for stats during summer I and I got an A+. I was horrified to take this class but Ghamasaee was an excellent teacher. The class is very intense and it requires alot of studying but it is not hard. I would recommend him but try not too miss too many classes.
Took this class for summer II online and it was the biggest mistake. The number of assignments are above and beyond what you would expect for a summer class and the written tests that you take at the testing center are nothing like the material you learn online.
I took his Summer II class and did very well. It was due to his good teaching, helpfullness and my hard work. As long as you listen in the class, do your Homework and look at all the book examples, you'll do great. He's very helpful and gives partial credits in tests. He's always willing to help if you need any. Overall good professor.
WARNING. If you want to pass this class do not take the online class. I?m sure this teacher is good for in class teaching however he doesn?t seem to care about his online class. His written tests are much harder and different than the online course material.
I took this class for SummerI and all I can say is that this teacher should not be teaching an online course. Total waste of money and time. He never posted grades till the last day so it's difficult to pace yourself. Hard to get him to even respond to an e-mail.
Lots and lots of work. Forget about taking any other class with this one. His tests, even worse. Also, he doesn't use Excel or any type of computer at all.... Old school style of statistics. Just the way my parents learned it.
Goes off topic. Easily distracted. Has a horrible accent. Doesnt take attendence. Does lecture over one or two problems. Runs out of time in class. Doesnt know how to teach! Dont take this 'professor'!
Dr. Ghamasaee actually cares about his students, even for his online classes. He is very prompt and professional. The class might be tough, however, you will walk away feeling confident about the subject as I did. I would definitely recommend taking him because STATS is one of those classes that you will need for future reference.
1st day of class he rambled on about useless things & everyday after,& he only does 1 to 2 example problems,never went into depth or detail,& expected everyone to know Algebra right off the bat,doesn't believe in reviewing,& always runs out of time in class,test were nothing like what he "taught",terrible professor,shouldn't teach isn't hands on.
Dr.G is a great proffesor. He makes math actually fun and interesting. I'm taking him for College Algebra 1414 and I could not have taken a better proffesor. He understands if you arrive late to class or not assist due to an emergency. He understands if math is NOT your major.
He's easily distracted with things that don't help even remotely with the course. He does maybe 1-2 examples and moves on, yet still manages to be 2-3 sections behind. He doesn't teach the things needed for MyMathLab and his tests are impossible. No matter how hard I tried or how much I studied I still failed the tests and mot likely the class.
I like Mr. G. He is nice and funny. However, if you're like me and struggle with math, DO NOT take his class. He did 5 problems in 2 hours and expected you to understand then go home and spend at least 3 hours every night on MyMathLab (which I hate). His class averaged about a 35 on each test. I ended up dropping. Good luck if you take his course.
Too tough.... Dont ever ever take this class
Seriously not recommended. Very hard, and confusing. Don't waste your time and money to register class with Mr. G.
not recommended....
I enjoyed my two semesters with professor Ghamasaee beyond my expectations.He is a great teacher especially for students who are intelligent,smart and hard working.If you want to succeed,do not miss his lectures,listen carefully, participate.Be enthusiastic and do your job.He is helpful loves teaching and has great sens of humor.Take his class.
i don't know why there is so much bile against prof. G.He used to teach at university and has tons of experience in the practical application of his math and computer science field.this is a very serious professor and only merits serious students. how he teaches is what you should expect when going transferring to a 4yr university
Very thorough and helpful. He requires allot of work, but If you're interested in making a good grade, he'll help you get there. He has a good sense of humor and is one of the best professors I've encountered.
Took the online class. I've taught math in high school. And it was alot of work 4 me to do all the homework assigned. I knew about 1/2 the course. and taught myself the rest. Lots of work.Some of the homework just took too much time, like calculating the standard dev. of 40 numbers. Be prepared to put in time. Tests are like examples in the text.
I love Dr. G, he changed my world and I will forever be grateful. I was 12 years out of high school and algebra always scared me and that is truly why it took me so long to go to college and Dr. G showed me the light lol but seriously...if you need a good prof to really help you learn.....this is your man
Everybody should know that math class need lots of practice...I MEAN A LOT..If you go to his every class and just practice all the problems he says you to practice, I will guarantee that any one can get A.. Stop complaining how hard the professor is and start doing some problems... that will be more helpful for your grades.... he is the best ....
I strongly recommend him for those who are majoring in engineering, computer science, and all others who need a strong foundation in mathematics. His lectures are very interesting and the tests are easy if you do your homework.
He is the best.....
LOVE ME SOME DR. G <3 HE IS SMART, FUNNY, HELPFUL, EVERYTHING YOU "HAVE TO HAVE" IN A COLLEGE ALGEBRA INTRUCTOR :o) attend lectures, pay attenton and you will be succesful!!! I already passed his class previously and see him around campus a lot and he always makes me smile :o)
He is a nice guy who wants you to be motivated for math, but like I read on another review, he will complete 3 or 4 problems and expect you to know it. If you stubble with math, don't stop here.
Really nice guy. Funny. Easy to pass his class BUT don't take him if u want to know the material more than just 'getting by'. and he gets behind a lot. If you are a liberal arts student= this guy. Science student= stay. Away.
hes a nice professor and his techniques are good. you just have to pay attention and should have interest in learning.
he is the best.as long as you read examples and do your homework, you will get an A.he teaches well and he is really cool.best calculus professor ever
he is the best math instructor. as long as you study examples and your assignments, you will get an A. he behaves well and help you whenever you want.he is the best professor ive ever had
He is very funny and easy. He is understanding. He kills time like anything during class time. He spends more time talking about other matters of the world but very less time about the real subject. If you want to pass then he is okay but if you really want to gain knowledge then he is not right one.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He gets off topic A LOT and he makes class VERY VERY VERY boring. I didn't understand what he was saying half of the time. I ended up dropping the class.
He is the best teacher! He really helps you out when you need help or do not understand anything! His ways of teaching helped me out drastically because I do not get math a lot. He is fun and a great teacher and very understanding!!
He's definitely interested in make sure you understand the processes. Does expect you to do the work. I needed this grade to graduate and he made sure I didn't drop when it got tough. Always ready to help you outside of class. Great educator!
I took this class online and he is very hands off. You are essentially teaching yourself with the textbook. He grades fairly. I would take this class only if you have a strength in math.
He is extremely helpful and works with the students schedules. if anything come up you can talk to him. he wants you to succeed and will work with you.
Took spring Trig with him, he tends to get off topic. But overall he is awesome, he is more than flexible and offers a ton of extra points, he pushed back several due dates for me. But just like any class that is to be taken seriously it requires a lot of studying and practice.
Dr. G is a decent teacher. He is hard and so is the subject but he lets you know what you need to know for the tests. He makes sure that you leave his class with great knowledge in calculus. His tests are hard but not impossible. He is also funny which helps bring the pressure of calculus down. If you are good in math take him, if not skip him.
This class was so hard and believe me, I work very hard! I spent at least 2 hours a day on this class and I made a D. I'm so upset. I have to mention I took this online and I had very little help.
Although this class if super challenging online, Dr Ghamasaee was extremely helpful when I needed help. He was very responsive to email and meeting at his office. I appreciate his willingness and dedication as a teacher. If you work hard, you can get through this class, but if time and able to attend a class, It is best to take in classroom.
Trigonometry is so hard but dr. G does his best to make it easy. He helps alot with extra credit and dropping tests. I highly recommend this class
One of the Best teachers. He really knows his subject. If you want to learn math then take him.
He's a decent math professor & he know all about math. He has different ways to solve math problems which excites me to take his class again for cal II. If you're a science student, take him. If not, i highly rec that you shouldn't. You might get a D. His tests are hard, but if you study enough & pay attention in class, you'll be fine.
I recommend Dr. G for anyone who wants to go to college to learn, not just to make a grade. Show him that you want to learn and he would go all the way with you. It was his encouragement that saw me through a hectic semester. He will make you, your family and your school proud.If you don't come to class, do your homework, do not expect a miracle.
He knows mathematics very well and also he try to give Deep knowledge of Mathematics in easy way. Totally he is a great teacher.
I took his class online this semester and unfortunately had to drop it due to outside reasons. But he was SUPER nice and understanding!! His course is laid out in a very easy to understand method and he is very willing to work with you. Great professor!
Dr. G is not for people looking for a grade. Dr. G is for those who want to be prepared for their next level of math courses. I don't know if he teaches Precalc, but I am definitely taking him for Calc I. He's funny. He knows his stuff. And if he seems to go fast in lecture, just stop by his office. He likes to help.
He is the doctor teaching in the college. He supposed in the university if he's good. Easy A in his class.
He cares about students. His grading is very good. Most of the student will pass. Exams are easy. He is always ready and available for help. No confusing materials. Take him.
Took Cal1 with him, it's terrible. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He gets off topic A LOT and he makes class VERY VERY VERY boring. I didn't understand what he was saying half of the time.
HORRIBLE his questions on his tests don't even make sense. HE NEEDS TO WORK ON HIS English grammar before he considers wring his own math tests. I strongly discourage you from taking his class, you'll certainly regret it
He's very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject he teaches. You must keep up with the material and study hard for the tests and you should be able to get a good grade. He's a very nice and helpful guy, most people just don't give him a chance.
Very very nice instructor. Reply email so fast. Instructions for test are always crystal clear. Always grade tests in a timely manner. highly recommend!
Hard to understand. Puts one question on the board and ends up going off topic and giving other examples and ends up not answering the initial. Doesn't really help you if you struggle. Talks a lot about other topics. No extra credit. Fast paced when going through each section in the chapters. Going to class is pointless bc you basically self teach
Great Professor. Excited about what he teaches. Students are challenged all the time
Dr. G is an awesome Professor. He literally uses the book examples on exams; pay close attention to the book examples you does in class because they will be on the test. I would highly recommend Dr. G if you are willing to do your part on doing homework, read the textbook & attend lectures. His reviews are excellent.
he is very nice and a great prof. He made things simple and easy to understand. if you guys want to get a good grade, take him (you also need to study as well)
great prof.
Take this course over the summer if you have a good background in math. You'll need the book. He uses examples from the book on exams and the homework is easy. You should attend every class. If you do your part, this class will be easy. I thought this class would be tough, but turned out to be one of the easiest math class i've taken.
I LOVE this professor, he is so intelligent! He was my all time favorite and I'm sad I can't take him anymore . Do ALL of the assignments and MORE and read the book IN DETAIL , his tests make you think . He would always say "Life is so beautiful" randomly in between teaching and he would go off on tangents about issues worldwide; he is inspiring.
He is very intelligent and expects you to be the same sometimes. Attendance is not mandatory but it's good for you if you want to pass. Helps and nudges you in the right direction if he sees you struggling. Very attentive and kind. Tests are tough, he tried his best to help by giving hints in class so pay close attention.
He got off the topics too much
A lot of work, but fairly easy if you like math. He wasn't there to help much.
Tries his hardest to teach people like me who are terrible at math. Funnygood guy.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. It's terrible. He gets off topic A LOT and he makes class VERY VERY VERY boring. I paid the tuition for study but his personal life.
Good for engineers. Wants you to succeed. Do the min and you will fail, do all that he recommends (including Extra credit) and you'll pass even if you shouldn't have.(and learn some stuff) difficult subject, tough class no matter what teacher you have, I'd take him again. If you can't pass this course with him then you should rethink your major.
One of the best math teacher you can have! He is very funny and intelligent. He makes his lecture very interesting and making an A in his class is not hard at all. His tests are easy with an extra bonus question and he curves a lot! If you fail a test he will give options to make better grades. I will definitively take him in calculus 2.
I liked Dr. G, but if math doesn't come naturally to you, you will probably want to take this class from someone else. I struggled with the material even with studying and keeping up with the homework and lectures. His teaching style just didn't work for me, and I did not glean anything substantial from his lectures.
Awesome Professor!
Even he's the one recommended for me STEM scholarship. I don't like his teaching style. He wrote one question down on the board, talked about something else then come back and not even finish the problem.
Good teacher, but tough.
Such a tough grader.. wouldn't recommend him.
tough grader
there are time in class that he get himself confuse so that isn't to helpful. however if you really pay attention in class, do your homework every night and review the material on connectmath before the test then you should be fine. he give partial credit on test for the most part.
Great guy!! He earned my respect completely. Likes to help, but if you ask because no one asnwers if you just keep your mouth closed. DO HOME WORK( Mymathlab) , UNDERSTAND THEM, GO TO HIS OFFICE IF GET STUCK, PAY ATTENTION WHEN HE COVERS THE PRETEST. THEN YOU WILL ACE IT LIKE I DID. I MADE A+.
Fantastic math teacher. Explains concepts in such an elegant yet simple way. Really nice guy, but makes it hard because he wants you to be prepared for future math courses.
Pre-Cal. My favorite professor. Inspirational and mega funny. To do well, you must do all the homework, read the book and study for the tests, but it is worth it because you will actually learn the material. I love his slightly off-topic lectures about the real world. He encourages us to work hard in order to be successful. His passion is obvious.
There is only 2 proctored test that count around 60% of your grade. Don't let the multiple choice questions trick you into thinking the test are easy, the fill in questions count for more points. Basically rely on Connectmath for all your homework and notes.
I feel like he doesn't really care for his online students. But to be honest, I've never asked for help. All homework and lecture are done online using connectmath. No supplements were given to help understand the harder chapters. I've managed to figure it out on my own, but I'm not sure how many people can do that successfully.
gives partial credit on exam! good guy. makes jokes sometimes. tough in the aspect that he wants you to be able to solve difficult/abstract problems and use critical thinking - however he does care about students & tries to be fair on exam. exams are based off hw and lecture. he listens to the opinion of the class. attendance pretty much mandatory
Dr. Ghamasaee is one of the best professors at North Lake college. Mathematics can be a challenging class but Dr. Ghamasaee breaks it down into small building blocks. I have taken three classes with this professor and can't imagine a better math instructor . I hope he is around when my kids get ready for college. Take him if you want to learm.
I really like Dr. G. He's patient and he genuinly cares about his student's education. With that being said, I think he makes his classes harder than they need to be. He gets off topic a lot and it is crucial that he stay on topic because he is so strict as a grader. The world needs more teachers like him, but avoid him unless you are a math major.
Dr. G is a great professor. He really cares for his students. He is very tough in the aspect that he wants you to be able to solve abstract problems and use critical thinking. He is not the type of professor to go in detail, he expects you to know the material and well. If you are not a math major I wouldn't recommend.
He is a great professor. You will know your level of mathematics. Though exams are difficult he offers extra credit at the end. And he is more flexibility in terms of grading paper.
Dr. G is a great mathematician and it shows in his class. While he can show you how to work formulas, it is entirely up to you to memorize them and know when to apply them. He will let you know what will be on the tests and review before taking them.
He was funny at first but he took forever to get through one section of a chapter. Really don't recommend unless you have already taken calculus. Lectures are pointless, very nitty gritty when it comes to "speaking math" and using proper symbols and letters. A LOT of HW and he makes the exams and they're poorly worded.
Great Professor. Do care for his student. Highly recommended
he is a really great professor. He will inspire you and make you work for it. the course itself is hard but he makes it really easy. i heard he is a tough grader but not true! anyone who will take calculus 3 should choose him!
His test are the hardest. You need to do all the homework from the book, doing the homework from mylabsplus will not be enough. Very tough grader. You will be expected to work for you grade. If you are math or ENGR major I would advise to take him. Make sure you know the theorems from each section you will be tested.
He absolutely cares about his students. If you're an Eng major, you have to take him 100%. He's sarcastic and funny too. Just stick with him till the end of the semester, and involve yourself in class, he's gonna take care of the grade at the end. Good Luck
I just took him for summer Math 2414 and I was dreading the class but he was such a concise lecturer very well informed on the subject. He was very helpful and understood that these concepts were difficult for us so he gave us the formats of test and told us what to study for the tests. If you listen to what he said was on the exams u can do fin
He is an amazing teacher really care about your success, take him you won't regret.
Dr. G was a good proffesor but his test are extremely hard. Good at teaching, funny as well. Just wish his test were not as difficult. Was not lenient just because it was summer.
Took his class at Collin College. Excellent at explaining topics and will work with you if you put in the effort. KNOW ALGEBRA LIKE THE BACK OF YOUR HAND! He makes the Calculus concepts easy to understand but does expect you to know algebra well. Do all homework and pay attention in class and you will do fine, but be ready to work for it.
You got to work for the A. Dont expect an easy going in the class.
Teaches 10 minutes in a 2 hour class...I mean which professor does that? Seriously....
I don't understand why people so struggle in his class? Dr. Ghamasaee is amazing! I took him for cal3 and he made it really interesting and understandable. Of course, it is not a walk in the park and you need a good foundation in math to get to this level. I love his sense of humor and his passion in teaching. Definitely recommend him!!!
Very helpful professor and easy B but need to work hard to earn the A. Lots of extra credit. I recommend this professor to anyone who wants to really learn maths concepts. He is nice choice. The only bad thing about him is he shares a lot of his personal life during lecture.
If you really want to gain knowledge then go for him. You need not have to spend a lot of time in mathlab like other professors make you to do.
I have taken Dr. G for Cal1, and Cal2 and I have the utmost respect for him. He doesn't mess around, so expect to work for your grade. If you really want a challenge and to actually learn, take Dr. G. Not only is he hilarious, he truly cares for his students and wants you to succeed. Do all of the homework and read the examples and you will be fine
You need to do all the homeworks as he told and give more attention to the examples which will show up in test. Be careful what he tells in class.
He is a nice professor and he trys to help you out as much as he can. Read the textbook, do the homework assignment, show up to class. Calculus is hard, but he makes it easier than other teachers. Go to class because he says stuff like, this question will be similar to a test question.
He is a good professor. He teaches the course at a college level - it is hard. The class itself is difficult, but doing ALL the homework and going to class will guarantee you at least a C. He goes over most of the test questions and he is a VERY caring person. Put some effort into it and you will succeed in this class.
Professor Ghamasaee is a funny. He does want us to learn and make sure that we learn, but it's unnecessary that his test are extremely hard. I understand that the class is tough, but he makes it two times tougher. His labs are pretty straight forward and the homework online is easy.
Great Professor. He explains the material very well, and his classes are much more interesting than with other math professors. However, his exams are definitely a lot more challenging than those given by other professor, so be prepared to work hard.
most humble, down to earth professor ever. I loved his class and literally felt sad in last class. his class is so interesting and joyful. math is an interesting class and much more interesting if he is a teacher. i missed my test1 for some personal reason and he take average of final for my test 1 so that i can recover.
Dr G as a person he is a great man, he really loves to help his students and he wants his students to be rock solid and clear with all the materials in Calculus. If you have a really strong foundation in Math and Math comes natural to you only then you can pass his class. Be READY! to read the book. Believe me this is truth. Very challenging clas
Dr. G WANTS his students to pass. Its a crazy tough class. I took him in a summer flex term. Calc 1. Super tough but he is the best! We studied and studied and still got terrible grades on the tests, but his curve at the end of the semester is generous. He really does care. Take him. WORK for it. Youll be fine!
For Statistics he is a very easy grader. He tells you how to pass his course and even makes a 75% on the homework an A on homework. As long as you try, you'll pass. My husband recommended him to me after taking his Calculus I and III courses. The harder the course, the worse your grade looks, but he does it on a curve so a 56 could be an A.
He is one of the best professors I have ever taken. He knows his stuff. Expect to read so you can understand the material fully. If you don't understand, come to his office. Talk to him, he will help you!! he is not just a professor, he is your friend and a mentor!! He give extra credits but expect to work for your grade!! HE ROCKs!! Nhut Cao
Taking Stats in the summer is a tough thing to do. Dr. Ghamasaee really does understand how short the summer classes are and wants everyone to pass. He is a really nice person and will help you if you ask. He offers extra credit as well as curves and takes your highest grade and replaces the lowest test grade! Great professor!!!
He was one of the amazing professor I have had. He wants his students to learn that's why he provides "BEAUTIFUL" questions and goes to the depth of every chapter. He, although makes you practice less question than other professor does. But if you practice questions of whatever he teaches at class, you'll learn thoroughly. Dr G. is the best.
Dr. G is the best!!! The material is difficult, but he explains it really well. He answers questions very clearly and lets you know exactly what to expect on the test. He genuinely cares whether or not his students do well and works very hard to make sure they understand the material. Also he's funny. He's great.
DO NOT TAKE HIM. If you want an A, you must work really really hard. 10 minutes lecture in 2 hours. Everything else should be studied by you. He believes that you are familiar with everything before u come to class.
He is a good professor. He is ready to give an A if you do well on your tests and homework. He clarifies your doubt in such a way that you would understand the other similar problems. I would surely suggest him. And I am taking him for my CAL 1 and CAL 2.
This was the first class I dropped. Horrible. Doesn't care about his students.
Ive taken a lot of math classes. And this was one of the worst one i had. I had an A in trig, A In Pre-cal. And first test of his class, bearly made a C. The Whole Classs Median score was 41 out of 100. And the professors words were your scores are your work. Its none of my fault well guess what, try to think where can be your fault too.
On whole 2 hour class I think he only teaches us like 30 minute rest time he give funny speech so I just want to say please do not take his course
Calc 3 is a hard subject by itself. Although the professor makes the material clear, doesn't spend a lot of time of class in the study material. The first 30 minutes of class is all about his life. But I could understand him whenever he was teaching. He definitely made the subject matter clear. The main problem is you should be ready to study own.
If you decide to read these comments, you need to read this one. The teacher might have bad statistics but that is not his fault. The students who rated the professor badly were lazy. If you, the student, are willing to put forth any effort: you will pass. Otherwise, don't bother going to college.
He teaches difficult courses so he gets a bad rep. My course was an accelerated calculus course (8 weeks not 16) so of course, it was difficult. However, with limited class time and the impossible task to each calculus in 8 weeks, he really does know the subject through and through and cares about the students actually learning the subject.
You really need to work hard in his class. Final exam might be easy but all others exam are very very tough. You need to be very good in Math naturally which is impossible for many average students. If you want to take his class make sure you are good enough in the subjects, but if you are average students then it will be very tough.
If you are good at math and you can work hard then only take his class otherwise it will be hard for below average students.
I was worried about Dr. G because of this site. With that said, He is one of the best professors whose class I have had the privilege of taking. While he may seem difficult, he wants his students to learn and succeed in the future. He dedicates time to students via answering ?'s and providing amazing feedback. He is always open to help.
He is really a good teacher if you work hard you will success his class I encourage you to get ready
He is bad I mean he talks more than he teaches I was a great math student until I came to his class and failed cause of him I tried my hardest I studied but his exams are not pretty intense and bad. I wish I did not take him I regret it and hope you dont take him either unless you are beyond smart in math. He doesnt teach
Dr.G is one of the best Math professors I have ever had. I was in his trigonometry class and then I decided to take him for Calculus. He clearly explains every concept and solves really good (difficult) questions in class, and in exams, he keeps it as simple and straight-forward as possible. Also, every exam has a couple of bonus questions.
If you want to learn, please take Dr. G.
I took three class with him Algebra, Cal1 and Cal2 . I totally enjoyed his class. I think he is the best math professor in dcccd because he cares each student in his class.I highly recommend everyone to take his class. I bet you won't regret .
A really amazing professor. Gives a very straight forward lecture to explain the concepts. Also gives fine advice for the future and truly caring about his students. I recommend taking him if you want to have a clear concept in Calculus.
I honestly never gonna take his classes again. He's not discussing properly and just talking to class about stuffs.
All my Math subjects are straight A's. I really love mathematics. But since day 1 of being his student, I started losing my passion for learning mathematics. He's literally the worst. He keeps talking about so much stuff instead of teaching. He wasted so much time and give exams even he didn't discuss the lesson. NEVER AGAIN. Don't take him.
I LOVED class with Dr. G. He is funny and a great teacher. I'm 47 years old, so I'm old-school. I understand going in to a heavy college course like this that I will have to read on my own and do all the homework to make a good grade. If you are expecting to just be handed a grade without doing much, you will be surprised and disappointed. WORK.
This is the worst Professor. I had registered some other Professor's class and he shows up saying that he had to take this class instead of the Professor that I had registered with. One of the worst classes I ever had taken. Doesn't even teach from the courses instead keeps talking about his other personal matters.
Dr. Rahman is one of the best professor in class. I took Calc I with him last semester and believe me it went really fast and easy. He does a lot of practice problems to make sure everybody understand the topic. Online homework and exams are pretty easy. Get all those done on time, you will end up getting a good grade.
If you stay on schedule with assignment, you will be fine. The homework, quizzes and test are straightforward.
Doctor G is a very respected professor. He's very inspirational and will help you understand not just the lessons in class but lessons in life. I won't say that his class is very easy because you have to work hard to get that A. He gives a lot of extra credits. He gives a lot of advice. I won't mind taking him as my Math professor again.
Dr. G is the professor to go to if you want to have a strong base in Calculus. He provides good lectures as well as valuable lessons of life and also has a good sense of humor. It is not tough to get an A in his courses but you have to work hard for it and obviously it is important to work hard to have a strong base in any Math course.
Though it was an accelerated course he did his best to make us understand every course material. Gives good reviews for the exam. He focuses on understanding the problems than solving the problems. Take him if you want to learn real math concepts.
Personally I was very nervous about taking an online statistics course because math has never been my strong suit but Dr. Ghamasaee's online course is very well put together. The way he laid out the material makes it such that you can understand and learn. Dr. Ghamasaee is also very accessible and kind. I highly recommend him as a professor!
If you are in major Science or Math, I highly recommend this professor's lecture. It changes your brain to Math brain:) If you are participate this course, you can get A.
He is a good professor that really wants you to succeed. The class is very straight forward. Lectures were interesting and he moves fast. Would recommend Dr. G.
Let's be honest if you are looking for an easy A then you are on the wrong page. Dr. Ghamasaee is very knowledgeable person. If you are looking to have a productive lecture and challenging questions in class then he is the right teacher for you. I did not earn an A in his class but believe me, I gained more knowledge than those who got an easy A.
Professor Ghamasaee genuinely cares about his students and wants to help them succeed in his class. Although he presented us with a schedule, he was very flexible. His main goal was to make sure that we understood the material and he was always available to assist, when needed. I would definitely take another class with him.
He is a fantastic professor, very caring, and wants you to succeed. A lot of homework, but the videos are very helpful for teaching with it being an online class. Nothing that isn't manageable. I definitely learned a lot in the course, that's for sure. He responds quickly to emails and tries to work with you. I would recommend him to anyone.
This class is very homework heavy, and with being online now with the pandemic, you're teaching yourself basically through online lessons. However, Professor Ghamasaee was always available. As long as you do all of the lessons and take A LOT of notes, you'll make an A!
I took professor Rahman Ghamasaee for Math 1342 and I loved it. I was also recovering for surgery and professor Rahman Ghamasaee let me work at my speed. Returned all my emails, was very caring, great feedback and very very reasonable with extra credit and the amount of work for the course. I would HIGHLY recommend taking this class!
Definitely one of the best professors I have had. Despite the fact that I was a high school student, he was willing to explain harder concepts which were new to me. Spent the necessary time to make sure that you knew what you were doing, and office hours were provided to make sure that the student benefited the most. I enjoyed taking his class.
ONLINE- The exams that are due during a certain week are posted just whenever. You can't work ahead. In fact one exam was not posted until Wednesday. Also exam reviews are "3, attempts & not graded", when actually neither are true. I got one attempt and a grade for the review. What prof does that? The class itself isn't hard, just always misleading
Literally the worst experience of my life, I took the 4 week trig course for dual credit and it was awful. All assignments are on a digital textbook thats required and over a $100 so u have to buy it or u cant do the homework checks which are all for a grade. Tests and quizzes were the only easy parts GET READY TO SPEND 3-4 HRS A DAY IN HIS CLAS
overall this professor was the worse that I have ever had. he isn't helpful at all, and he doesn't even teach. he's gives you a powerpoint of definition and makes you figure it out on your self. not examples or videos. would NOT recommend this professor to anyone.
This is a self-taught type of class. You have the textbook and you have to teach yourself the lessons. He does have office hours for questions. There was like two extra credit opportunities. You have 4 weeks per unit and the test isn't open till last week. Don't take him if math isn't your strength and if u have no calc experience.
This professor wants you to pass as much as you do. Show up for class, participate, do the work, show him you are truly giving your best effort and he will meet you halfway with extra credit and he will keep showing examples until you get it. He is more than fair.
I took his Calc 1 16-weeks class. He tried hard to help, he had office hours at least three times a week, answering any questions and go over some examples. I will say it was more of a self taught class since you have to read the book. BTW I will recommend Professor Leonard Youtube videos, he is also really helpful and help me keep my A in Calc.
The only reason I opted to drop his class is because he webcam proctors his test. I don't mind if they are proctored but it makes me very uncomfortable to have my camera on to watch me. I have taken all my classes online and this is the only one that I have had this happen with. I just feel I wouldn't as well because of the fact of being watched.
I have math 1342 class with DR ghamasaee. class is fun .I really like his teaching technique. He focus on understanding problem rather than solving. He make difficult things easier which helps me to remember alot. He is inspirational teacher. I recommend him to everyone
Easy class if you do your homework. The tests are easier than most of the homework problems and he lets you take them twice. He does use Respondus, but if you don't mind the webcam it's a great class. Don't let the ratings discourage you from taking his class because he is an excellent professor.
Class goes smooth, Great sense of Humor. Clears doubt and the best part you can hear stories which will eventually related to your topic.
If you do not do your homework you will fall behind. . Take notes! He only has 4 tests for the 8-week course. You cannot blame him for not passing the course it is up to you if you pass or fail.
i read some of these reviews and i thought this class would be alright but man, i STRUGGLED in this class. first the professor doesn't provide any lectures. all the hw questions had 3 attempts. the chapter exams have two attempts. there were practice tests which are like a review and that had 3 attempts. (PART 1)
I had such a great semester with Mr.G and learned so much in such a short period of time, that the knowledge learned from him will last me a lifetime. Thank you so much Mr.G for doing such an outstanding job and being a great professor. Always going above and beyond. :)
Test heavy and tests are proctored. Do not fall behind, and attend office hours if needed. Very doable in a semester course, communicates very well. Practice tests are similar to reviews but recommend practicing additional problems to really succeed, especially from homework. Ask for additional practice if needed. Really knows the subject well.
He is very understanding and helpful. He just wants everyone to know math and see the value of it.
This was an eight-week class so it was very fast paced with a lot of material to cover. The online layout of this class was very clear and easy to navigate. The last 3 exams were facilitated by lockdown browser + webcam, and work needed to be shown for those exams. Homework is through MyLabMath.
This professor is really good if you want marks and if you want to learn.
best math professor out there.
Do NOT take this professor if you want to actually learn the topic. He tells us the basic concept behind the subject and then goes on a rant about something irrelevant. Does not properly teach the subject or give good review material. Only take this class if you already know how to the do subject you came to learn about.
I would NOT recommend this course if you are a PreCal student. This class requires you to self teach yourself a lot of time and while the online resources are helpful his online meets are almost useless since half the time is spent telling you why how your solving something is wrong instead of telling you how to solve it.
By mistakenly also dont take him class, Worst professor in my life. In 2 hours lecture, He teaches 30 minutes in topic only. And he is too late for grading. He grade test 1 after finals, He is careless professor. Dont waste money and time by taking his class.
donot take his class is waste of money and time
Take his class only if you don't have enough problems in life. Rants about random topics rather than focusing on course material. Take this class only if you can teach yourself.
Worst professor ever. First, he says everything will be online, and later on, he moves everything to the testing center. You should learn everything by yourself. He will spend 1 hour and 30 minutes talking and just 30 minutes teaching, which nobody can understand.
The class is hectic with LOTS, of graded assignments and no unlimited attempts. There are 5 in-person exams, including a midterm and a final. He told us that at one point his classes were cancelled because nobody would take his class, so the professor made exams online just to boost ratings, after those exams are in person, outof syllabus and tough
I don't understand this teaching style
He has total 5 chapters exam which is only 250 points but his final comprehensive exam is 200 points which is about 40% of your grade. Hw are only 10% of your grade. If you mess up your final exam you gonna fail. He doesn't really teaches anything. He talks non sense in his class rather than teaching course related question. AVOID HIM AT ALL COST!!
His class was just a nightmare. Most of the class, he will be talking nonsense, and at the end, you will have to learn everything by yourself. If possible, AVOID HIM.
Don't it take his class if you are trying to learn you wont learn anything. He talks nonsense the whole class rather than teaching anything. His syllabus contradicts itself. He won't take exams on time too, rushes too much at the end of the semester.
Ive never had a teacher as bad as him, the first week of class he spent yapping about not having the syllabus done. he never tells us when the due dates of things will be. if you can avoid having him as a teacher, do not take him. he just goes over examples from homework, and wants us to do all lessons at home, this is not a hybrid course.
Very helpful and good explanations. Open to discussion and questions.
He just make nonsense in class he even didn't reply your email. Awuful
