Took finite math online with him. He did not answer questions. He did not seem to know what he was doing. And, he was a total d-bag to me when I had a major scheduling conflict for an exam...ended up missing test for econ to take his. Allowed 3x5 card for exams which helped. Taking him online was ok, but I don't think I would want him in class.

This guy is a joke; he doesn't know what he is doing. He only will answer questions regarding problems from the book. Anything question from the online hmwk, he could not answer. He is no help whatsoever! Tests are ok; partial credit is always good. He is nice but a horrible teacher! You pretty much have to learn on your own time; its doable though

He is the worst professor ever! He doesn't show any examples, all he does is show a powerpoint presentation of the book contents and when asked a question, he says "check your notes, if the answer isn't there, check the book. If its not there, go to the math lab." Doesn't help at all! If you want to learn, do NOT take his class!!

He's a great professor, he's willing to help you if you ask for help. He also walks down the row to ask if you need help. All the negative comments about this professor is mainly because those students didn't put time into the class. It's simple, if you want to be good at anything you have to put more time into it.

Wow, if you can get around his accent, and don't mind reading the book to learn trig, then take this guy. Otherwise I recommend taking a professor that does more than show power points...while he does answer questions, I found there were nothing but questions since he doesn't really teach the material. Do not take him if you can avoid it!!

Prof. Sofla was such a sweetheart and I don't think I'd have been as confident this semester if it weren't for him. This was my 2nd time taking math C not counting the first time when I dropped halfway through because I could not deal with that prof's teaching style. Prof. Sofla is super helpful and encouraging and above all else he grades fairly.

Professor Sofla is a great math teacher on campus that he tries to help students that struggle with complex problems; he goes step by step through the material so everybody understands it. However, his tests are hard because the percentage is 40% and he chooses problems from the lectures so don't miss class and study with classmates for the final!

Mr Sofla is great, he cares about his students. Goes above and beyond to help you and make sure you understand what he is teaching. The exams are hard and YES you have to work and study but if you do that you will be just fine. I enjoyed his class and highly recommend him.

Professor Sofla was honestly one of the best professors who I have had the honor in taking in his class. He's very caring of his students, and it shows that he wants his students to succeed. Professor Sofla has a clear teaching style no matter what math. I had him for Calculus, and it was straight forward. He's honestly the best!

He's really nice. He encourage you to ask questions if you don't understand, and can find extra help in his office hours. His test goes by the book and lectures, also he graded generously. Try to spend time attending class + do your homework + do the review questions, you can pass this class with A.

This was my first math class in college and I enjoyed it a lot. Professor Sofla gives hw and it's important to do them and practice them because those are on quizzes and exams! SO DO YOUR HW. Also, he's extremely caring and would always be in his office hours to help you out! I would love to take him again :)

Professor Sofla is an amazing professor! I took him for both MAT C and MAT 1, and his classes were pretty easy. He grades leniently (gives points based on your work), so even if you get a question wrong, you still can get partial credit. He likes to give a lot of quizzes. Make sure you pay attention to the lectures. I definitely recommend him!

Professor Solfla is an excellent instructor and cares about the success of his students. Although he assigns a lot of homework, homework and practice with example questions from the text are needed in order to be successful in this course. He is very welcoming and always willing to answer questions. Make sure you attend every class for credit!

I dont know if the other students were doing anything special with Sofla, but I had the hardest time in his class. He does not explain his lecture good and I was going to tutoring as well, which didnt help on his quizzes and midterms. Had to drop half way through semester because if I was having such a hard time in this class. Please stay away!

Prof. Sofla is an EXCELLENT teacher. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He will not move ahead with his lecture until everyone understands; just let him know. Also grades fairly, if you show you know the concept, you will get credit for showing work. MathC is not easy, you have to work hard regardless of who teaches it

Professor Solfa is an amazing teacher for statistics. The homework is very clear and is directly related to the tests and lectures. He may also extend the homework if the week is very busy. He is reasonable with his students and very approachable. If you have any questions, he will answer them before class, during the 10 minute break, or after.

Professor Sofla is a great teacher. He cares about his students, will extend homework due dates, and his quizzes are easy as long as you take the time to study the lecture notes. You have the option to either take quizzes/exams online or on paper and I suggest studying off the homework for those! Highly recommend taking him.

Took Statistics (MAT10) this semester to finish my GED before transferring. Professor Sofla's course is clear to follow and very much doable if you put in the effort to do the HW and Study. We Utilized MyStatLab; quizes are 6-10 questions, exams are on paper/online 12-18, and the cumulative final is on computer. +Note cards: for quizzes & tests.

Saeed Sofla is the best professor. I can't thank him enough and appreciate him enough for always ready to help. I used to ask many questions during the class and not once I had ever felt that he is hesitating or doesn't have time to answer my questions. He explains so well. you jut need to ask if you don't get the concept believe me. He is awesome.

I took his summer Stats class and it was great considering I haven't been in a college setting in years. I thought I was going to dread taking a this class as a summer course, but taking it with him was not bad at all. He was really understanding if you needed to leave class early. Almost always ended class early too, so that's a plus.

Professor Sofla is the best math professor I have ever taken. I took Math 10 during the spring last year and failed it due to the Professor being really unorganized so when I decided to take it during summer I was very worried but it turned out great he is very caring and if you see him during office hours he is super helpful! I would recommend!

A really caring teacher!took his summer course with another heavier class,so sometimes it became hard to finish all the homework,but he's very understanding. easy grading. if you miss a couple assignments it's fine(i recommend doing most of your hw because its the same as the test questions).he allows cheat sheets and dropping test scores as well:)
