excellent teacher, enjoys teaching math, very helpful and explains topics very good. brillant
Very nice man and very humble. Most important he is helpful and takes time to bring things down for you and show you how the problem should be solved. I recommend him.
He's a wonderful teacher. He cares about his work and enjoys teaching. I see him in the lab almost every time I'm there and he's always helpful.
I LOVED HIM...I absolutely hate math but coming to his class at night was very enjoyable...he makes the class very easy to understand and challenges his students just the right amount...I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE
class was too fast. he tought the class like everyone knew what they were doing already. I found it very difficult.

He was a very good professor. He helped when ever he could and was very clear in his lectures. He offers tons of help, and is willing to meet with you after class and even on weekends. He really cares about you and always has a review before his tests are given, study them, put your time in and you will do well. Good luck!
Great Teacher
He's a great teacher to take. If you pay attention and study for the test you will pass his class. He breaks down all of the problems, until you understand.
HORRIBLE. Doesn't go above and beyond. Homework not counted towards final grade. Doesn't like to be asked questions in class. He refers you to Math Lab all the time. Not clear and doesn't try to make it easy. DON'T TAKE HIM UNLESS YOU ARE GOOD AT MATH (even then I would reconsider it)
He is an excellent teacher, he makes learning easy and helps you to understand clearly.
He's not a very good teacher if you ask questions. He gets pissed off if you ask questions, and makes you feel really stupid.
He is an excellent teacher.
I really learned a lot from this professor. Don't miss classes because then you are lost. Study from the book and do your lab hours to make sure you pass. Before he lets you out earlier, ask him to practice some exercises. I did good because I praticed a lot. Overall, he is a good teacher, open to the students.
He is the best
Prof. Alarachi knows and loves math a lot. He is open and available to the students. He goes a little fast because too much to cover in so little time. Don't miss a class or else you're lost. You have to understand the first chapter to be able to go on thru the next ones. Also, do lab hours and practice a lot, you'll pass. I am grateful to him.

great teacher, explains well....choose him if u wanna pass
AVOID HIM!!!!!!!!1 i could hardly understand him , and he teaches too fast. He also hate when you ask questions like your suppose to understand on the first try.
WoW. Never thought I could enjoy math. Class was at night and Alarachi understands you are tired. Lets you out early, but will stay behind to answer questions one on one. Does not like questions to be asked in class - ends up answering your questions in the examples. Go to the lab! GO to the lab! GO TO the lab! GO TO THE lab! GO TO THE LAB!
TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM! I hated Math and this was my third attempt until I came to his class , he breaks down everything step by step. I can actually say I like Math, well Kinda..... i wish he was teaching Mat1033 oh well but I recommend YOU TO TAKE HIM TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I hate Algebra, but this professor really has a gift to explain it in a way that most people can understand! I would suggest taking him. Just make sure to show up ON TIME! Lab hours are required to pass and the exit exam is alot of pressure, but he is very helpful. His exams are multiple choice and I passed his class with an A.
He has to be the coolest teacher ive had so far. Hes so helpful and whenever you need help, he will help you. Easy class. Recommend taking him
He was great, understood everything taught...passed the class with an "A"...very willing to help
He was one of the most helpful professor at school. He make math very easy.....I highly recommed him to anyone trying to take math.
He is the best professor ever!! Take him highly recommend!!!
Makes everything easy to understand. Great teacher!
He's fair and doesn't sugar coat anything, infact he told the class to come here to rate him if they didn't agree with how he was teaching. If you listen to him, take notes, and study, there's almost no was you can fail unless you?re just an idiot but even idiots can pass with enough determination.
This professor was very helpful. I had priory taken the same class with someone else and had to drop out. Prof. Alarachi makes the class so easy and explains very clear. Its almost unnecessary to ask any questions during the class period.
The best math teacher ever!! you will learn a lot. Highly recommend!!
he teaches so fast so if you dont understand math dont take him... barley wants to help you at the end of class. GO TO MATH LAB GO TO MATH LAB
Great teacher!!! Explained everything clearly, you will learn in his class, he is very helpfull, he should teach all math, GREAT!!!!!!
EXTREMELY helpful, a great professor who is dedicated to making sure you understand the material. He actually cares about you succeeding. I am THE WORST at any form of math, but he makes it so clear for you. I highly recommend and wish he taught all forms of math!
AWESOME teacher! Very helpful and spends time on makeing it easy for you! He makes it fun and has a sense of humor! And remember... GO TO MATH LAB!!
I don't recommended to any student, he teaches very fast, he hate when you ask question, plus his not gonna explain nothing to you after class, he always push you away to go do lab. if you really smart in math take him, otherwise don't take him cause you wont pass.
this professor is great! he spends time with every student and will not go on until you understand. but he hate tardiness so many thats why that one rude comment is on here:( go to lab and be on time and you will absolutely get an A!
Incredible professor. He is extremely helpful. He is willing to meet and go over things one on one if you have a problem. He dislikes tardiness, but that is so you don't interupt the rest of the class! I would recommend this professor. Best prof I have ever had!
After being out of school for 3 years I took this class and was very skeptical, but I ended up with an A. This professor is great, he teaches in a way that is very easy to understand. I would highly recommend him. Just be aware that you must do 12 lab hours for his class. His favorite formula is No lab hours= F. Just take notes do the lab hours.
Very good professor. Extremely helpful and made the class less boring.
I HATE math but loved this professor. It became my favorite class the whole semester. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss a class you do miss a lot. He is very organized and does reviews for all of his tests. Highly recommend!
Awesome professor. He really does teach you. He will go over things once, twice, three four times any time at all until u understand. He is somewhat funny. You really do learn. He is very nice and very easy going. All u have to do is show up so u learn obviously, if u dont show up then thats all on u. And go to lab. You do that and u passed =)
AWESOME TEACHER/PROFESSOR !!!Always willing to work with you. Make the effort and he will help you pass. Go to all classes, do your 14 hours in math lab (MUST DO) and pass your final. You will not regret your mathmatic experience.... :-)
Would take his class again, is to understand and always willing to help Greet Professor!!!!
Great Professor!! Very handsome, Very patient. Know his stuff and His never in a rush. Answers all my questions (I had a lot of) because I am suck at math, got a B.
If u are looking for a math professor u found him! He is probably the very best out there. He will go over each step no matter how little or dumb it may seem. Will go over as many times as u need with pleasure. U will learn in this class no question about it. He is very nice too! Im in college algebra now and i still go back to him for help. =)
Awesome professor. Takes his time in teaching. Is not fast. If there is only one person that doesnt understand he will take his time explaining again. He only moves fast when everyone has fully understood. Other than that he teaches slowly step by step.
SIMPLY THE BEST!!! i am someone who hates math and this guy made the class a breeze, his goal is to make sure you understand the material, not just to cover the book. HE WANTS YOU TO PASS!!! come to class and do the hours , he will go over the topic until everyone gets it , hes always available to tutor outside of class, TAKE HIM TAKE HIM :))
he is a good professor , im taking his class right now and im doing good
AVOID THIS MAN, HE IS NO HELP AND VERY STRICT ON ALMOST EVERYTHING.
This was the best Math class i've ever taken!!! I plan on taking as much math classes as I can with Mr. Alarachi! He gave great notes and was available to help us in the Math lab. He only has two rules be in your seat on time and don't interrupt him when he's teaching. He taught math so that we understood! This teacher is the best!
Professor Alarachi is SUCH a great teacher! He goes slow in the beginning to make sure everyone understands and repeats the rules over and over to make sure you memorize them. If you have issues with being late this may not be the class for you but other than that I HIGHLY recommend it! Seriously he is so helpful. You won't regret it! Do lab hrs!
He has been the best professor I have ever had. He helped me with everything single section through out the whole semester. If you show you care. He will help you in every way possible. He will help tutor you for hours until everything is clear. You do have to put a lot of effort. But if you try, you will succeed in his class.
Love Prof.Alarachi, sweet,funny, & Down to earth.You WILL pass if you attend EVERY class, take notes, do your lab hrs,your homework,& PAY attention. Do NOT be late.He tutors at the math lab so take advantage bc he REALLY helps you. He cares so much about his students passing. Mult choice tests. I finally understood math..priceless! Thx Professor!
He is the best professor I have taken for math. He really does care about each of his student. Do the lab hours, they will make or break you in his class. He is a great guy.
he is the best math teacher i ever had. he is pretty clear and make sure every one understand, he is very funny and made the class interesting. just do all your hours and you'll be fine, take write all the notes, they are relly helpful in the test. the homework is not madatory, but is very useful for practice. overall is a very good class take him.
I was really disapointed with this Prof. I strugged to understand him during lecture, and his note were a mess.Would put problems on the board and just do them W/O telling us what chap they were in the book. My suggestion: if are not really good with Math, than I would choice another Prof.
Excellent!!!! Professor. Some might think he is strict, but he just wants to make sure that everyone gets all the material when he teaches. He does not like interruptions.It's very annoying when people try to talk over him,and he hates that.He helped me understand the material,and I actually retained everything! In this class you actually LEARN!
Great professor who cares about his students. He is strict but fair.
GREAT TEACHER! :) He cares if you care! He helps you a lot in the lab, no homework just a test for every chapter. PLUS he is very funny! Nice guy!
HE THE BEST!!! TWO THINGS YOU MUST KNOW IS DONT MISS CLASS AND TAKE NOTES! HE IS WELL KNOWLEDGE AND YOU MUST GO TO LAB OR EVEN WITH AN A HE WILL FAIL YOU! ALTHOUGH I WAS A PROCRASTINATOR WITH MY LAB HOURS I WENT TO LAB IN ORDER TO PASS HIS CLASS WITH AN A!!! FINAL EXAMS WORKSHEET PRACTICE PRACTICE...
Great math teacher.. Would definitely suggest to anybody. He comes off a little strict at first but its for your own good. As long as you study the notes he gives you and go over the stuff every week you'll pass.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you have the opportunity to choose him do not miss out. Best teacher ever, if you're stuck on something he's happy to help. Not hard if you pay attention and go to class. Love him.
Highly Recommend this teacher. as long as you show up to class, listen to what he teaches and study you cant go wrong. His teaching methods are clear and efficient. its too bad i cant take him for all my other math classes.
He is so good... I learned with him more Math than ever in my life. He is very helpful and is method is good. Attendance and lab hours are very important keys.
HE IS THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR IN THE WORLD! If it wasn't for him, I would never pass any kind of math. He tutored me and helped me 100%. He is my brother from another mother! TAKE HIM..... My teach, I will always cherish him for life...
He is very helpful and diligent with his students.
Because of this Professor, I truly have more confidence, whereas before I felt lost and unable to ever be successful at Math. This teacher goes above and beyond his duties and should highly rewarded for his time, and generosity. If you give your ALL, you will pass and he will help you get there.
Best math teacher I ever had.So helpful.HE really cares if you learn or not.All u do is write down the notes and study everything he tells you to study and you'll pass.you dont even need the book.just listen to him.i took him during the summer.
professor is pretty amazing i wish he was doing Mat1033 i would take him for all my maths just make sure you do the lab! you will fail the class if not but other then that AMAZING highly recommend him!!
Professor Alarachi is nice but if you are really bad at math, I would not recommend this professor. He is fast paced and more tailored toward students who are strong in math.
Amazing teacher def a must take explains everything efficient enough to understand! Just make sure you do the lab hours and don't wait till the last day! If you go to the lab when he's there he'll help you one on one!! Don't waste your time looking for other teachers take him!!
A great professor, whom cares greatly for his students (that work and are serious about learning). He tells you exactly what to study and gives you examples of what to expect on his exams. From the first day he tells you EXACTLY what to do to pass his class. I appreciate all the help he gave me in the lab.
At first he seemed to be ok but, I couldnt catch up with him, he wouldnt answer any questions until the lecture was over, and by the time class was over i forgot the questioons. he would let his class out 15min early, which left me with less learning time. he was personable with certain students. I emailed him for help and he never responed.
Beyond amazing and I love him and his forwardness. Saad Alarachi is probably one of the last teachers that actually still cares about his students. He doesn't make you feel dumb and make sure you understand the materials. Please get the text book because you will be reviewing and HW assignments. Just amazing and down to earth , very funny.
He's a great teacher ! And he drop the lowest test grade. He does give a lot of homework but it's not graded.
All I have to say is AWESOME Professor!! I had this professor for MAT0028/MAT0029. I love the way he teaches. I have learned to not ask questions during a lesson because 9/10 times the question will be answered without having to stop the lesson. I feel that he is available as needed. When I contacted him he got back to me & gave me great guidance.
Professor Alarachi was the best. He did whatever it took to help you understand. As long as you take notes and be on time to class you should have no problem passing. I wish you were teaching STA2023.
Love him! Awesome Professor!he really cares about his students.will stay after class and help whoever needs it. just study for the final.. tricky questions!
BEST TEACHER HE MADE THIS CLASS EXTREMELY EASY AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO FAIL. NO HOMEWORK, JUST "PRACTICE" THE ONLINE BOOK IS THE ONE YOU USE FOR THIS CLASS AND IT HAS SOME VIDEOS ON THERE THAT REALLY HELP YOU UNDERSTAND CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH HIM! PICK HIM TESTS ARE BASICALLY WHAT THE NOTES WERE ON AND ARE ONLY 20 QUESTIONS! TAKE HIM!
Great teacher! clear method of teaching. I wish I could take all my maths with him. Be on time always and do your lab hours. No excuse for him. But he teaches very well. Recommended 100%
Prof. A is a really good teacher. Very clear and easy to understand. He wants to see his students succeed. 5 extra points on top of your grade for 15 lab hours and does not collect HW. Just go to every class so you don't miss anything, study and DO NOT take out your phone in class. Highly recommended.
Professor A is the best. Very funny, entertaining, and he definitely knows his stuff. I never like math before I started his class, but he actually makes you interested. Make sure that you don't have your phone in class, don't interrupt while he's teaching, and be on time. BEST TEACHER EVER! I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR A!!!!!
Professor A makes math so easy to now. I am actually focus now to move on to the next level. He teaches very clearly and he needs everyone attention while he is teaching. No phones nor food and please be on time. I got an A. Just keep practicing and he gives examples of what he will put on the test. GREAT JOB professor Thank you.
Professor Alarachi is amazing. He teaches you exactly what will be on the test. There are 5 tests in total but you have a choice on taking the fifth one. If you choose to take all 5 he will eliminate the lowest grade. He's strict on tardiness. The book was online and free. His notes are clear and easy to understand. He made mathematics easy for me.
I hate math & I loved this class! I took it to get out of algebra..he explains everything slowly & ONLY goes over problems that WILL be on the test.Some test quest's are copied exactly from online practice quest's. 5 free points for lab hours + 1 test grade dropped. You have to be lazy to fail this class! We need more prof's like him!
He's an amazing professor goes through materials clearly and helps you if you don't get a problem. Just don't be late to his class and always show up and take notes you'll pass his class with a good grade
This is the best professor I ever have , he love to take time with the student ,and he make sure you learn what you need to learn . He love to teach and he make you work so you can become better with numbers . He is worry about you success .
The Best MATH teacher at BC, he takes his time teaching, he makes sure you understand, what he teaches is what he puts on the test. Hes is funny , do not be late to class,
One of the best teachers I ever had, he makes math way more easier then what it really is. Lectures are great and he is funny. Always there to help students but wait to ask questions when he is done teaching. Doesn't mind a few missed classes but when you show up to class you better be there before him, he doesn't like people walking in late
I have struggled with math my ENTIRE existence; I truly believed that Math was some form of a punishment. When I signed up for classes, it was with the intention of "getting it over with", but I am very pleased to say that Prof. Alarachi, is A-MAZE-ZAH-ZING! He, (for lack of a better phrase) "Idiot Proofs" the work. Easy to follow; Great teacher!!!
I was never that good at math and for sure never received an A in the course before this professor. Very funny, goes over all the work needed to pass the test, and his teaching methods are awesome.
Awesome guy, responds to emails, show up on time, super funny, teaching methods are great. Breaks everything down, test prep. Lets class out early, answers questions at end of class, so write them down, reviews before a test. tells you what will be on it also. Really fun, do the work, make an effort, try and pass. IMPORTANT: Keep up with ALEKS!
Very good teacher. Shows concern if your grades are slippery, tells you how, always encourages.
Professor Alarachi is a great teacher. He is there for any questions and makes everything understandable. Make sure you don't have your phone on and you are never late. He gives the grade you deserve and earn for yourself. I wish he taught more than just 2 classes.
super nice guy but entirely too focused on testing. a cliche of a math teacher. I wouldn't take him again.
Amazing teacher, will give you the grade you deserve. He's very nice and cares for his students. Do your homework and be on time, show that you aren't lazy and you are willing to learn and he will help you with full support if you lacking or struggling with anything. I highly recommend him.
He is an amazing teacher, be aware there is a lot of work on ALEKS. I need to retake this class because I did not spend enough time doing the online portion. He doesn't take any bull so be respectful and you are required to spend 12 hours in the math lab. over all the class is tough but do-able
He is an amazing teacher, be aware there is a lot of work on ALEKS. You are required to spend 12 hours in the math lab. overall the class is tough but do-able.
He's probably the best teacher out there. If your show you are trying and are involved and respectful he will do the best he can to help you understand the material. Which he has helped me with, and I am so thankful for. Love this teacher!
Professor Alarachi definitely has a teaching style like no other. I can't tell you how long I have struggled with math. I could never seem to find a teacher that could explain what it is that I needed to learn in a way that I could understand. He is very simple! Show up to class, take notes that you can understand and do the work. Easy A!
Long as you never use your phone in his class and pay attention you will pass. He is/was very helpful the whole time. He answers all my questions (save them for the end of class because he doesn't like to be interrupted). He responds to email in a timely manner. I had no issues with him. Taking him for Mat0028 :-)
DONT COME LATE. do study all the tricky questions that you learn in class! his tests are all MC but all the answers are similar so know your stuff. overall, good teacher. a bit slow but fine
He's not bad
Awesome
Long lectures but usually we left not too late, he'd let us out a bit early. Pay attention to his tips and advice, they're helpful. Tests are very similar to the chapter test in the booklet from the math lab. The downfall is that tests are on Scantrons and he didn't review the wrong answers we got. I'd probably take him again.
He's not perfect. He tried to take my test away when I had two questions left because he was too impatient to wait for the last student in class. But he was the best math teacher out of four I took at Broward. No book. Some material online. What was on the board was on the test. Extra credit. No final. Recalled stuff from GED class.
Strict, but awesome! NO PHONES!
No phones!! Take advantage of the practice exams in the math lab, they are almost identical to the actual tests. He's super funny and really helps you understand the material. He also gives you multiple ways to solve something if you're having trouble understanding. Just pay attention to what he says and it will be the easiest A.
Hes alright
Really good professor. He is a little strict with phone usage and getting to class on time but other than that his teaching methods are easy to understand. He will help you out if actually care about school and pay attention in class. I recommend you to do Aleks at the lab so you kill two birds with one stone.
Pros: Knows the subject well. Is passionate about the subject Cons: Establishes and enforces strict rules (e.g. phone use and tardiness) yet he breaks these same rules constantly.
He teaches techniques that are clear and the easiest to learn. He's strict with timing, which is okay with me since I want to be a professional in the future. His tests are scantron based and he cares if you care. I loved that he does not let students talk during his lectures. He's happy to answer questions at the end of class.
Knows the subject well and does care if you make an effort. He's tough but knows what he's doing and how to do it.
He's is strict when it comes to being on time, if you are even 15mins late, he will let you sit outside until break time. Does not allow phone usage in class, and will not let you ask questions until hes done with his lecture.
He is very strict when it comes with time, phones, talking in class and attendance. What students don't realize by them talking or being on their phones also distract others. He is fair grading and if you work hard during the semester, attend all classes and for some reason you need help to bump your grade, he will help you.
He is very strict when it comes with time, NO PHONES, talking in class and attendance, but he is an amazing professor. I took math 0018 and math 0028 and I got A and B. You need to do your ALEKS Lab and never be late. I recommend him 100%
This Professor was one of the worse Ive ever experienced. He would change test dates randomly without being apologetic. He was very rude and sarcastic, if you complained hed ask a fellow classmate to get you a box of tissues, and on top of all of that he works so fast while speaking in his heavy accent which makes it almost impossible to learn.
For starters, I took him for MAT0018 / MAT0028. He is very strict with no cellphone use and being on time. If late, he might send you home. Makes material easy to understand and always goes over similar examples that are on test. Take notes and listen, not too friendly when asking questions while he is explaining. Overall, great prof. Take if u can
I didn't do well in high school algebra but he made it easy. I got an A in his class, and didn't miss a day. He is easily agitated by students who lack professionalism, and punctuality. This past term we had a few students who clearly didn't care, and focused more on complaining than doing the actual work. Take the negative reviews lightly.
Professor Alarachi is no-nonsense. He's very upfront about his no-phones-in-class, no-asking-questions-until-after-his-lesson and no-coming-late policies. Pay attention in his class, do your Aleks assignments, do your time in the Math Lab, study for his chapter tests and you're golden with him. Don't disrupt his class and all will be well!
Overall I enjoyed Alarachis class. He would change over half the test dates on us. So when we would arrive to class prepared for an exam he would tell us it would be the following class. He was caring and took time to meet with students when we didnt understand. The final I felt was a bit difficult but I did well on all the exams prior.
Great teacher! He teaches a bit fast so its best if you PAY ATTENTION. If you dont understand he will slow down and go back for you. Hes a bit strict when it comes to having phones in class, with homework, studying and tests(As a teacher should be). Overall hes funny and makes teaching easy and fun. Only math teacher class I would take.
Professor Alarachi was my initial math professor becoming a college student summer semester 2019. Professor Alarachi was efficient in his method of teaching and was understanding with students that needed extra help. Professor Alarachi was even patient with me over a misunderstanding of the notes taken during an exam/test. I appreciated him
He teaches very clear. Hes very straightforward but youll pass the class if you do your work and pay attention.
This professor is very strict and he's very tricky with the tests and final exam. Don't take his class.
He was an effective teacher for sure. However, he publicly mocked a struggling student and yelled at the class for a technical issue that we had no control over. He made demeaning jokes frequently ("If you can't get this then I might as well send you to kindergarten"). One day he took a 45-minute call in the middle of class. Very disrespectful.
If i am being honest he was a pretty good teacher, you can make jokes with him about 90% of the time if he's giving a lecture DONT JOKE.. His grading is good, he will curve your grade and give you extra credit. Over all hes pretty good, he does not give alot of homework and is nice overall he's a good professor
