This was the worst professor I have ever had. When I asked for help outside class, he was unwilling to make times to meet with me and gave me no guidance. He has a pretty thick accent and is difficult to understand. I would recommend to take this class from ANY professor other than him.

He is such a nice professor. He is a little boring and expects a quiet classroom . The tests and quizzes were not difficult and a good grade is not hard, even going 2 out of the 4 days. He will help you if you need it. He will even do the homework problems for you if you ask. He just changes numbers between the practice test and the actual test.

Sadiq is the worst professor I have ever had for math in my life! He once said, "All of you pretend to view me as a scantron and nothing else." THEN WHY THE HECK ARE YOU TEACHING! He does not believe in curving but when the class average is a 64% that reflects on the teachers teaching and not the students. The last quiz's average was 2/10.

Not an easy class, but if you go to class and spend enough time to finish and understand the homework it is manageable. I wish he didn't teach so fast, he always said "I have to keep up with the other class". Damn they must have been flying 10000 mph.

This is easily the worst professor I have ever had. It is nearly impossible to understand what he is trying to convey and his tests do not even cover what he teaches.

The worst thing about this Professor is his test preparation. He gives you practice problems that are completely different than the ones you do in the homework.

He's not the best and he's not the worst; it all depends on who he is teaching to. He's sometimes unprofessional; he asked me for a parent note to prove a death of a family member and then asked for a perscription to prove I had an eye infection so I could make up a quiz. If I had had a different professor, I would have done way better.

AWESOME professor. I was kind of scared when I saw the name, thought it would be another prof teaching me that I should be teaching English. But no, this prof is probably my favorite I have had. Gives a lot of extra homework and really cares for the students. If you ever get the chance to get him DO IT!!!

Simply a charismatic teacher from a foreign land with a great personality! Dr. Sadiq rocks and I definitely recommend him. It's an easy class as long as you attend the lectures regularly, do your work homework and prepare for the tests and quizzes.

He is a tough but a well-meaning teacher and an intelligent man. He puts a great deal of planning into each class. Always available during scheduled office hours if you need help with homework problems. I really enjoyed his class.

Prof. Sadiq is a great math teacher. He gives a variety of examples per topic to help you understand. He gave tons of homework and quizzes. He does great reviews for the test. Some other student found him hard to understand, but in my opinion speaks perfect English.

Took him fall semester and struggled to maintain my C-. Ended up dropping him and taking Jacobs this semester. So much easier to understand and practice problems were much like what we saw on the tests. Sadiq seemed to get annoyed when we didn't understand things and blamed the class for poor grades. I personally did better without him.

By far the best professor I have had at WSU. Extremely knowledgeable and explains subject matter in an interesting and relevant way. Also very helpful, especially during office hours. Attendance is mandatory. If you go to class, do the homework, prepare for quizzes and test, and seek help during office hours; you will be golden.

A really great professor! I've NEVER understood Math and after taking Sadiq's class, I finally understood. Go to class, do your homework and STUDY for the quizzes and tests and you'll be just fine.

Dr. Sadiq is a very good teacher and quite helpful but he is not the one for students who are really into math. The class is what I call too easy and boring. I am not a nerd but the class has to be intellectually challenging for me. A good student can read his material of a textbook.

The best professor I have had so far. Posts solutions to quizzes, and tests regularly and that helps. Always keeps student aware about grades they receive and their overall performance. Grading is fair and grade evaluation is transparent at all times. If you work hard there is no reason why anyone should get below a 'B' in this class.

I liked the course material, but he had a tendency to be over critical of students. However, he was an excellent teacher. My difficulties with him arose from personality conflicts ? no talking in the class sermons.

He is very helpful to students and wants them to be successful. It isn't an easy class, but he provides lots of opportunities, through bonus questions on tests, to pull up your grade if you are having difficulties. Take his class you won't regret. He is a really good teacher.

honestly if he didn't take attendance i probably wouldn't go to his class. i find that while he can be entertaining i learn much easier by going thought the book on my own then i do trying to make head or tails of what he is saying in class.He also seems to think that if the class does bad on a test as a whole it is our fault, not his doesn't fly.

Dr. Sadiq helped a really stressful subject for me (math) and made it into something bearable. He had a pretty detailed review session and told us what to go over before the test and that was extremely helpful. In my opinion, he's definitely the best math teacher I've had in school or college. Take his class if you can get in.

GREAT TEACHER! The class is as easy or as hard as you make it. Do your homework and prepare for the quizzes and the tests and you'll do fine. He posts reviews about ten days before every test and is more than happy to help during and after class. Definitely try to take this teacher.

In my opinion, probably the most organized and energetic math teacher I've ever seen. Might have a little difficulty with his Indian accent but one gets used to it in a short time. Does not waste a single minute in the class and makes learning the lecture material very easy by going over multiple problems. Extremely helpful during office hours.

A very enthusiastic, challenging, but a great teacher. Comes to the class ahead of time, returns graded homeworks, quizzes, and tests in a systematic manner. Makes you work hard for the grade. He looks grumpy but is a very good person if you get to know him. He cares about his students and wants them to learn. Take his class, you will learn Math.

This teacher is literally "down to earth". Listen to what he says from day one. Do the homework, study for tests and quizzes, come to class regularly and you'll make an A. Tests are similar to the study guides questions. Keeps you aware of your grade throughout the semester. Don't take anyone else if you're able to take Sadiq.

Although he can be pretty stern, he is a good math teacher. Some of the tests can be hard, especially the final because its comprehensive. The worst part about the class is that he is pretty hard on attendance and gives a quiz every Friday at the end of class.

Good luck for students who are gonna take him. The best teacher ever ever. Just pay attention to him and you will definitely pass it even if u r dumb. Do the homework every day, study for quizzes and tests and you will be fine. Wish WSU had more professors like him who can teach and not babble in theories which only they understand. Proud of him.

Getting a good grade is only possible if you go to class everyday and do the homework. Having said that, if you do those things and pay attention, it's pretty easy to pull off at least a B, even if you aren't good at math.

He cares a lot about every student's learning and makes you do all the homework and gives enough time to do it. Bottom line, he makes you work hard like a dog but in the end you will learn more and end up with a grade higher than you expected. He does not make the test exactly like the study guide as some teachers at WSU do. Great Teacher!!!

Math has always been a challenging subject for me. With hard work, I earned an "A" in Dr. Sadiq's class. He explained theoretical concepts very clearly and solved many problems during lectures. The quizzes, and practice problems helped me a lot to get ready for tests. His jokes and anecdotes were funny so one never felt bored. Highly recommended.
