The worst at math will have a great chance to pass the compass test after taking this class... he is recommended by the Math Dept and is very clear. He teaches you very simple techniques. Do not take this class in summer (4 weeks) if you want to feel comfortable and prepared. He goes the extra mile to help and will stay after class to help.

HE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR!!!! RECOMENDED!!! A MUST TAKE THE CLASS. He takes you from step one to then with no problem at all if you don't understant something he will teach it until you get it. It does not matter that every one knows the subject, you important to him. He cares for the students, and he relates to your needs.
He is a really great educator. He took a subject that was complety daunting to me and made it easy as pie. keep in mind this had been my 3rd time taking the class and this was the only time i understood anything.
Lots of people skills, ability to teach math to anyone. Gives lots of encouragement and inspiration. A Great Human Being.
HE IS JUST GOOD TEACHER, EXPLAIN GOOD , STAY AFTER CLASS AND HE CARES , HE DOSEN'T LIKE STUDENTS TO BE ABSENT IN CLASS
This was one of the best classes I have ever been in, as he says he fails nobody, we only fail ourselfs. He takes the time to make math understood, I have found a new love for numbers and understood for the first time. I reccommend all incoming stundents to get into this class as it was very helpful to me.
very Caring Professor, very interested in students welfare
Best math professor in BMCC. He really cares about his student. he is very funny and he makes sure you know your math! i highly recommend him. he is the best!!!!!!!!! Said rocks!
One of the best Teachers I've ever had.Made sure he goes over what you don't understand before, during and after class.Highly recommended
Best Math Professor I have ever had, Math is definetely my worst subject and I hate it! But he helped me understand the work and overall enjoy his class, I passed the COMPASS exam and I couldnt have done it without his help!
Professor Said is a great teacher.He has a certain way of teaching so that you can understand the work.I highly recommend him as a professor.
anybody who is having trouble with algebra i strongly recommend you take said's class he's straight to the point no bs. what my teacher couldn't teach me in one semister he taught me in 3 weeks and i got a high score on my compass exam
I have to agree with many of the students who wrote about how Said teaches and that he is indeed good I have learned alot in his class even though I am still struglling. I have to say though he can at times make one feel bad in his class. Takes and calls his students names that I think in inapropriate.But I have to give it to him , he knows his stu
Great Teacher! Never understood math until I met him. Also, have never looked forward to a math class or homework until his. You wont be disappointed if you take his class. Promise.
I have to agree on all the good comments about prof Said Daryani he is very crystal clear when it comes to his teaching method. I had taken a remedial class two times before I was having a hard time understanding the professor that I took the class with before. Until I ended up in his class I took the test and was exempt compltely out of remedial m
He its good. I took him 2 semesters ago he its very helpful, crystal clear, no text need it. I wish BMCC could consider him for a higher levels in math like Math-200/206/301. he its good and the people who are theaching higher levels are not good or clear in their teachings. SAID THE BEST, VERY PEACEFULL GUY, THANK U PROFESSOR FOR UR GREAT WORK!!!!
The best Professor I have ever met. I struggled with Algebra for a long time, took the compass test 3 times and failed. Professor Said has a very strong powerful method of teaching that you will understand Algebra on your first day. I encourage everyone to take his class. His passion for teaching shows. I passed my Compass test yesterday with a
Omg! Professor Said, is the best if you want to pass the compass test. (hey that has i nice ring to that)His approach is like no other. After 3 full time remedial courses, 11 days with Said this summer was all I ever needed to pass the Compass with a wopping 66. I could not have done it without his instruction. Simply the best!
Great professor!!!!!
This Profesor was excelent, he knows the material & how to teach in a way that the student can learn it. Very nice & if you are the only one that does not understand he will try to teach you in a diferent way so you can get it. he makes you like math, very helpful, I wish he was teaching Mat-301.
If you want to pass the Compass test then take him. I promise you it'll be the best decision you've ever made about a Professor. I just barely made it through Math all my life, but Said taught me more Math then I ever thought I could learn. I was scared I wouldn't pass, but his ways of teaching are amazing and if you TRY you WILL learn from him. <3
I wouldve NEVER passed if it wasnt for him! Said is willing to take the time to help you in any area and answer and question. He's very casual but does not put up with nonsense but if you respect him all will be well. IF YOU WANNA PASS THE COMPAS TEST you need to take him. Attendance is not really required but its for your own benefit.
If you don't learn in this class then you have a problem. This professor is helpful and patient and crystal. He does not tolerate time wasters. He will help you and encourage you if math has always been difficult for you Said will make you look at Math in a whole new light.
This is a great Math Professor. Probably the BEST at BMCC. If you don't pass with him you never will. He is very helpful doesn't make you buy the text books gives you his own math homework with he writes up and distributes.Also goes over the work as many tines as you need him to till you get it.Any one taking any of his classes is very lucky not.
prof. Said is a wonderful math teacher who KNOWS what he is doing. so many remedial teachers in BMCC have no clue what they are doing. If you wanna pass your math class, take him. You wont be disappointed. But however, if you do not put in the effort or make it too class it will be an issue for you.
He really takes his time to explain the mamterials to you. He cares about his students and always encourage us to learn. Take him if you really want to learn and pass with good grade. He teaches Math 206
BMCC's math dept. is fortunate to have Said. This professor is patient and professional. If you never pass any of his courses it means you cannot be helped. He makes the material crystal clear. This is one of THE BEST PROFESSORS AT BMCC. I wish they would give him more classes.
If you want to pass Math 051 said is the prof, for this class i have taken this class so many time but never come across any one like said excellent professor, he know his stuff, has patients, he tries with you until you get it,they is no professor in bmcc like him, professor said is the best.
THE BEST PROFESSOR!!!!!!!
great professor, currently taking his class and preparing for the compass test. said make sure the materials is cover and then some and gives a lot of practice and makes sure his student are beyond prepare he cars about his student and try everything he can to make sure everyone pass. if you want get out remedial this class for you.
Best math prof!!!! You have to take him. Math is my worst subject and he helped me through.
Great! Takes its time explaining to make sure every student grasps the material and understands it. Easiest way to get an A in his class is to do his home work assignments, participate, and ask if you need help. Only two exams, a midterm and a final. Totally recommended.
Great personality, you can tell he enjoys teaching. Makes learning easy. Very strong work ethic.
SAID is a wonderful professor i am so thankful and grateful to have been part of his class. i truly cannot express enough what a great professor he is, take him it will be one of the best professors you ever had.
He is very helpful and make sure that you get the content. He is very funny which keeps the class going and not be so bored or tiring. He is very attentive and keep the class fun. Amazing and very lenient professor. Even if you don't come to his class, as long as you pass his test, he will pass you. Extremely helpful. I highly recommend him.
HE IS A EXCELLENT TEACHER. I CAN NOT EXPLAIN IN MY WORDS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED$.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was a great professor in math 206- learned a lot from him . More than just a teacher / also someone who can give you great perspective on how to look at life. Not only do you get a great math teacher but a genuine human being . Do the homework and the tests should come natural.
Saïd is an amazing professor. He knows his subject and more important, he loves it ! He is a brave man, he learned math on his own and keeps studying it when he finishes teaching. I got A- as final grade but since I pay out of my pocket and put lots of efforts into the subject he decided to curve it to an A. He is very intelligent and open-minded!
Great professor. Great easy class. Does everything step by step for all the students to understand. Awesome personality. Take him
Said is such a great guy. He really connects to his students and is honestly one of the best professors I've ever had. I highly recommend. He'll try his best to make sure you pass.
Professor took the time out to spend a 5 minutes with me whenever I needed to brush up on a concept and would never make me feel embarrassed for asking questions. He supported my learning capabilities and tailored his teaching at my request. A true emblem in the academician world. And not to mention SUPER humble!
Said is the best out there! He looks out for his students and does his best at teaching new material. Show that you are participating and care about your grade and he will help you along the way. By far one of the best people I have met during my studies at BMCC.
Said is a great professor. Lessons are handout-based and he goes over everything you need to know. Homework and Tests are SO easy guys; they're all based on the handouts so don't throw them away!! He grades extremely fair and lets you bring a cheat sheet for exams.
I am the absolute SUCK at math, but with Professor Daryani, I not only passed but I made it through with a pretty great grade. Keep those handouts, they are key. He will give you a complete life story with your math lesson, but they're always interesting. Excellent at explanations. Said restored my faith in math, to be honest.
Take him! His instructions are very clear and thorough. He's also hilarious makes the class enjoyable to sit in. He will not waste your time.
I honestly cannot explain how happy I am for choosing Prof. Said as my professor. I cannot express what am amazing professor he is. I always used to be bad in math but in his class, i could finally understand something and even if you didnt, he would explain it. I highly highly recommend. Trust me, you wont regret it. :))) Thumbs up Prof. Said :))
Explains everything in an easy and simple matter. Very good professor and I would recommend to anyone that has a hard time understanding Math
Wow! There are no words to express how grateful I am to Said and his lectures. This man has changed my outlook on Math as a whole. I HATED Math! He gave me the confidence to believe I can get out of Remedial Algebra. I am just in awe by how clear and concise every lecture has been since day one. I am so happy to have come across SAID!!
He is a great professor i am so happy that i took his class
Professor Said, Is an Amazing professor. I truly recommend him. He wont jump ahead unless you understand the material. He is truly fair. Do the homework the midterm and finals are based from the homework. He is funny and laid back. his teaching methods are easy to understand- Although Calculus is tough for me- he is pretty clear on the material.
Simply the Best, Prof. Said is hands down the best professor at BMCC. He understands that students have both strengths and weaknesses and he will never be the person to put you down for a weakness in math. He goes above and behind to help you succeed and is more than willing to help you outside of class and outside of the hours he is paid to help!
You will love him. He is hands down the best teacher if you have hard time understanding math. he will explain everything in great details. You will love him.
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD!! I WISH I COULD TAKE ALL MY CLASSES WITH HIM INCLUDING CALCULUS 1 which I'm supposed to take this semester but am postponing in hope that maybe he teaches it this summer semester and I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE HIS CLASS AGAIN! HE it the MAN! TEACHES each question with 3-4 different ways... Iove it!
He is the Man, I wish i could take pretty much all my math courses with him, He teaches every question in several different ways... and tries to make the hardest problems easy as one two three for students. I believe if you can't pass in his class, You are in the wrong please, you don't be in college. He is the Best! MR. SAID YOU ARE THE MAN! !! :)
Hate math, but he was a great professor and made everything clear. Taught step by step and always went over problem 3-4 times just in case you didnt get it. Very helpful and fun class to be in , respect him and he will respect you.
Very caring teacher, he teaches the subject step by step, he explain if you do not understand. if you study his homework's you should not have issue on the test .
Mr: Said is an Amazing professor. All you need is practice, practice, & practice. I wish I could have spent more effort.
One of the best Professors I've ever had. I will take him again if he taught Calculus I but unfortunately he doesn't. Take him and absolutely no regrets.
He lets you know from the first day what he expects and how he teaches. His lectures are engaging and he cares about his students' success. I dislike math but Said made it easy by going over the problems until everyone understood them. He is not a tough grader. Every professor should take notes from him.
Said is Great man and his greatness goes beyond the classroom, he actually made me wanna learn the material that he was teaching. He inspired me to be a better person and to wake up each day with the mindset of wanting to make someone smile and to help others. I learned more than just math from his class. He's one of the best at Bmcc. Take him!
Passionate teacher who genuinely cares about his students. One of the best math teachers I have ever had. Goes above and beyond what most teachers will do to make sure you get the material. Show up to class and show you are curious and he will help you - don't do the opposite. Can come off as a bit gruff sometimes - ignore that.
He's a great teacher and blunt. One thing I strongly disliked was his grading method, it was inconsistent. On one persons test they would get different points on another even if the answer was comepleteky the same... that's the ONLY problem
Take him and absolutely no regrets.
the best professor out there! Not only a good professor, he is am amazing human being. Never felt so excited to go to any class beside his class. Literally going to miss him lot and his amazing lecture and life advise. He inspire me so much that I decided to take math as my minor.
Professor Daryani clarified many topics I was previously not good at. He truly cares for his students and wants everyone to pass. His lectures are very clear and he tells you exactly what he expects from you. When he says to STUDY HOMEWORK, he means STUDY. Prof. Daryani also gave life lessons that I will always remember.
One of the best math professors at BMCC! I enjoyed every single minute I spent in his class. Show up to class and i assure you, you will be better at math by the end of the semester.
This was my third time taking remedial and let me tell you. If you see this professor when your picking your classes, don't hesitate and take the class. The way he lectors is incomparable to others. He makes math so simple and teaches every way possible to solve a problem including shortcuts. He even teaches life lessons and he genuinely cares.
The best Math Professor I have ever had in my entire life!!!! He made me actually like math and I learned all the material. Also, he is a real funny guy. He really cares for his students and wants to make sure they succeed in his class and life. Take his class, study the material, and trust me you will do really good!
Just loved the man, as a professor and more as a person. You could sense that you are learning something and its not only limited to mathematics.
Professor Daryani really cares about his students. He takes the time and explains everything step-by-step so everyone understands. If you get a chance definitely take his class !
if you have any issues with math take this professor. He is so good. He teaches by DOING instead of just lecturing. I had to drop a previous class were the professor made us write down definitions and basically just read off the book. Ive been struggling with math and he was like a breath of fresh air
Teacher from the God! If you want to learn and have good grade Said is the man. Pay attention to the homework and you will be set. 10/10
He is really an awesome teacher. He will make math so easy that you will feel that you should take math in future. He will help you if you don't understand no matter how many times you raise your hand or how bizarre the question is. and great personality too. Keep it up Sir.
Prof. Said is truly a gem. Hes my first prof. in college. I must say hes the best professor I have ever had. Now taking Calculus 2 at Baruch. Its all because of Prof. Said. I had him for math 56 and 206. I wish I had him for calculus 1 and 2. Hes an inspiration to life. Math youll easily get it with him, grade comes naturally. Thank you Said.
Absolutely the best professor if you have trouble with math. He goes over the material over and over until you get it and he makes it so fun to learn about math. He does not care if you come to class because he makes it clear that those are the students who will not pass! If you need to take math, pick him, you will not regret it.
awesome!!! professor Said is amazing. he really cares of his students. he has lot of passion to teach us what he knows. he is very kind and will help you to understand his lectures very well. he won't move to the next topic until make sure everyone understood. of course, he wants us to show interest in his lectures and respect.
Great teacher!! I see why they call him the G.O.A.T.! I had a great experience with him in my pre-cal class this summer. He sets your mind right regarding the type of work you should put in, and the reasons why it will benefit you for the rest of your college career and into the workforce.
He is a good professor. He is very honest. I think at times he can be hard on you but he only wants to help you understand the material. I Enjoy this class
Mr. Daryani is clearly a professor who knows how well he is talented in his craft but starts to make it very clear each and EVERY class where you stand if you are not one to pick up on things easily. His rants about understanding material and work ethic creates a hierarchy within the class. Protect your Mental Health when taking this course!
if I could give him 10 stars I would, take him he will change you and your life completely. Love him, the best!
He is an AMAZING professor. He really made me love MAT more and more; actually now I am thinking to study MAT as a major in my future. Always excited when having class with him; unfortunately, time passes very quick with him. Love him! He is the best.
The way he "teaches" is not for everyone.
It is best if you take him for the 3 months course and not Immersion. In my personal opinion, he is not good at explaining things well. Being that it was immersion he just rammed all types of new info and then an exam the next day. He plays fair. Although despite tutors and doing h.w, even then I did not do well. For the first time, my grade is :(
if you don't get a good grade in his class, IT'S ON YOU. Said is a gem professor and he does his best to explain the material with many ways. you can never go wrong with him. He is the best! he is someone who I would take class again with. I really miss him.
Do not call him professor! He likes being called Said!!! He is a very good professor!!!! He is very passionate about math. I took him for the winter semester, and it was tough because of the time limit but he always tried to help us out. I would take him again if I could. YOU GET THE GRADE YOU WORK FOR!
Said is a one in a billion human being. He presents you the material and explains how it's done. He will always answer any questions you have. He constantly checks to see if the class understands as a whole before moving on. Do not take it as a winter course if your math is not strong. He doesn't coddle you, he truly wants you to learn the material
Pr. Said is a master in mathematics. I'm taking his class this semester, he really cares about all students who want to learn math. His technique is very clear and sample for solving problems. Feel free to ask him any question. Said makes math very easy and you will understand well. He is a great person. These words aren't enough to describe him.
He gives as many credits as possible, even if you don't deserve it. My concern here- life coaching! He spends minimum 30 min of each class to tell stories about his life. It may be interesting for kids, but for me it was waste of time, even though, he had good intentions. If you are math major, if you want to learn, don't take him...
He is the best professor in math. He really cars about all students who want to learn not just show up and pass. Exams are easy. He makes a kind of joke and stories to take you away from stress. He finishes his class early before 2 LEC and makes a review. I don't know how the guy below my comment complain and I'm sure Said help him in his exam.
Professor said daryani taught everything I needed to know in order to pass the math 51 final. I appreciate his help. I shall use his knowledge in other math classes in the future.
I don't recommend anyone select this professor unless you are very good at math or you are very interested in math, otherwise, this professor will be the problem for you. First, he never collects homework so you won't able to know did you do the homework right or wrong. second, he never makes the correction for the exam so you won't know the errors
I took prof. Said over the summer and what an amazing math professor. Not only will he teach you math, but will also teach you some life lessons. I wasn't very good in math but with practice I got in an A in his class. Homework is optional, ask him questions and he will gladly go over it. If no one has quest. or if you didn't do it he won't bother.
Professor Said is one of the best math teachers in BMCC. I wish if he could teach Calc I would definitely take him again! His lectures are clear he makes it interesting and as easy as possible for students. I actually understand math in his class It was a best choice taking him for 206 he explains and teaches to the point tests are fair enough!
I was a guest student from Arizona State and I could clearly see the difference in quality! Mr. Daryani is AMAZING, math has always been my weakest subject (I failed Pre-Calculus 4 times) but Professor Daryani made it so simple for me to understand. He's inspirational and so humble! He goes over homework if you ask. Always answers questions. 10/10!
He is the best professor, he cares about his students.
Professor Said, is one of the best professor I ever meet! Great lecturer and everything is understood. if you will listening in class and, do your homework and put effort you will succeed at the curse. I really recommend to take the math 206.5 only with professor Said!!!!
I was so lucky that i studied with him 206. i learned very well because he explains the materials clear and easy. some students dont like math but i recommend him for you all. he make me solid in math and I GOT (A) IN MAT 201, 301 AND 302. I took his class spring2019. if you want to learn math forever, just take him. 10/10
Said is an amazing, intuitive and intelligent professor. He makes mathematics accessible for understanding and has enough patience to explain the details and carry you though. Besides that, Said has a good heart and a good soul. You learn life being around him.
