Ridiculously awesome! Prof. Sha is extremely helpful, he will explain and show you what you need to know if you feel like your not getting it. He does move rather quickly in lectures but again he makes himself available in office hours and during session breaks. People complain about the accent but it's no problem.Sha is legit & funny. Choose him!

My first math class in 25 years. I was worried but he has a knack for explaining math in a real world way. I loved his understated, quirky sense of humor. You can tell that he genuinely cares about reaching students. He is laid-back and understanding but he also expects you to put in the effort and behave like an adult.

very straightforward. He is funny. If you have a question just ask because he doesn't remember to say if there are any questions (hw). On tests you always have an extra credit question. Quizzes almost every class period that are 4pts based on the topic he just went over in class. He is somewhat new at teaching so he's still establishing everything.

Sha is very smart and his lectures are useful, he gives a daily quiz and homework that may leave you with false confidence on his tests. He has a tendency to make tests "fun" by adding impossible questions. The tests are most of your grade, so be prepared for the difficulty; also rarely enough time to finish these tests.

Dr.Sha really knows the material. Super important to attend class, take notes and quizes and do online homework on time. He does not allow a calculator. He is available for tutoring. Funniest clean humor i have heard in a long time.....foil.

Mr. Sha was a great math teacher. Very helpful, clear on lectures and assignments. He always encouraged students to seek him for extra tutoring help. But you need to study hard and practice. Do all of the homework! Best professor I've had so far!

Im a high school student who took pre calc over the spring semester to get ahead. Ive never been hood at math but sha makes more doable by offering alot of extra credit and homework and online quizes make it easy to get a high grade textbook isnt really used just practice from the book and you will do fine. Sha is so far my favorite college prfesr

He's Really a great guy and he's simply a nice person in general. He dislikes disruptions and does have a set path that he would like to follow but he can explain if there is some other way you would like to learn it.

Must come to class and do work but he gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. He does take off point for small things on test but gives credit for partial work. Definitely taking other classes with him.

Like any class, if you show up and take good notes, you will pass. When he gives an example of a "tricky" problem during the lecture, expect it to be on the test. The tests are difficult, but study your NOTES and you will be fine. He's always willing to help. His sense of humor is blunt, so if you're not overly-sensitive, you will enjoy this class.

Unless you like math, I suggest you do not take a class from him. Over 50% of class failed. Was at a D- until middle of semester when I decided I did not want to fail, so studied hard enough to pass the class with a B. Attendance is worth points. quizzes here and there that he works with you to pass. Lectures are good, tests are hard.

Sha is awesome. I have always struggled with math but Sha made it so easy. He gives you a practice "quiz" that you do at the end of every class that you are allowed to ask help on and you can work on it with people around you. Those exact questions are on the test and he gives extra credit for attending SI sessions. He is such an amazing teacher

I love Mr. Sha! The tests were exactly like the practice quizzes he would give us and he gave extra credit for going to the S.I sessions. He takes off little points on the tests but he makes up for it with all the extra credit opportunities he gives you. Just do your homework and study the practice quiz entirely and you will get an A. Take him!

In one class day, you could potentially get into two chapter lectures, with a break in between. His helpful test resources are his study guides and extra credit opportunity. The only down side, in my opinion, was his MathLab usage, however, those points seriously help out your final grade. He also loves to crack jokes, even if they aren't funny.

He has an accent but he was still easy to understand. This class was fairly easy, I didn't put much effort into it and still passed with a good grade. Do the study guides.

curves grades

Great math teacher; I would definitely take his class again if I were to return to Ventura College. As long as you stay on top of things, you definitely will be fine. His study guides are the similar things you see on the actual exams and quizzes; can't go wrong with that. Professor Saliha Sha, you're the man. Thank you for making Math V44 so easy.

Professor Sha's class was fast paced and lecture heavy, so if you miss a lecture or don't take notes there is a possibility that you may find this course unmanageable. He gives homework a lot and when it comes to tests the study guide usually is about the same as the test. Also, he counts online homework as "extra credit" on tests which helps.

Sha gives you every opportunity the get an A in his class! Online homework bags you extra credit on exams(which are curved) - He even drops your lowest test! If you show up and do the work, you will pass this class no problem....5 stars!

Shas a great professor. I felt like he got right to the point w/ every chapter which is what I appreciated most. He is always willing to help when you need it & offers a lot of extra credit. You dont necessarily need a textbook, but do have to pay for the online section! Just do all your hw and quizzes and youll be fine. Hes fair w/ everything.

ALEEKS (need to pay for online) was used. Homework is understandable if you pay attention to what is being taught. His method of teaching is clear and gives examples so everyone understands. He is a top professor you would want to take, really cares about his class, accepts questions at all times does not make you feel bad if you don't understand.

4 week Summer Session: take this class if you aren't busy with work/ other classes. Most of the students who complained didn't focus, made excuses, never asked him for help, or were busy. I took 7 other classes at my high school, so it is possible to juggle. Your grade will match the effort you put in. Always ask questions if you're lost.

I took Prof Shas 4 week stats class and learned a lot. We used Statscrunch and he gave us hw that aligned with his lectures. We covered a lot of material but everything was clear. Prof Sha was very easy to understand and reminds you of all the deadlines. If you stay on task and complete everything expect to earn a good grade. Would recommend!

This class was tough and it requires a lot of work. The concepts are slippery though, so the heavy workload helped to drill them in, plus it was a great lesson in time management. Professor Sha was always eager to help whenever I had questions. He would even meet on Zoom short notice to explain a problem I was having particular difficulty with.

Look, if you don't want to actually understand the topic and set yourself up for success in the future don't take this class with Professor Sha. This was an intense class, it's not easy. Professor Sha made this class enjoyable and comprehensible. I feel like I see the world a little differently after this class. Participate, engage and study.

This prof takes the class nice and slow during remote learning. 2 sections/week w 2 assignments/section. Only 2 exams & a final. Gives extra points on all exams which all have less than 10 questions. Points for attending class & lecture group work. Show up, do all assigned work and you can pass w/o great test scores. Would highly recommend.

Prof Sha is awesome, I think he does a good job of getting to the point of what is important. I started with a 107% because of the super easy EC he gives (buy the book, set up account, do intro discussion, survey for what times work best). Also he will roast you if you don't participate for plickers Qs, which is pretty funny. Personality 10/10

Took for a summer course, very good professor for a limited time. There is a bit of homework but definitely helps to do it. Participation during the zoom session is very important since being in class is valuable to the course. You can reach out to him with time and he will help. AspireMtnAcademy on youtube helps with mylab hw.

Saliha Sha is an exceptional professor, particularly for aspiring computer science students. He possesses a remarkable ability to make classes highly engaged through his great sense of humor. Also, when teaching us about discrete math, he adeptly emphasizes the most crucial aspects relevant to computer science in each chapter.

He releases PP's, assignments, HW and pre-recorded videos prior to class. Goes over assignments in class so if you watched his videos and attempted the assignments then you can check your answers before submitting. He prints out all PP's for students. Online hw can be attempted until you get a 100%. 1 final, no tests. No textbook required.

While I did not pass Professor Sha's class in the Fall 23 Semester, he was very kind and diligently helped me catch up where possible. He is an amazing professor, his lectures are beautifully conducted, his sense of humor mixed with his accent is adorable, and his knowledge is vast. He is also very fair. Don't let him down, and you'll thrive.

The grading in the class i took: textbook homework: 50% Participation (through zoom): 20% Canvas quizzes: 10% Midterm: 10% Final: 10% This class's grading is super generous and fair. As long as you put in the work at the start of the year, you're going to be fine. Tests are only 30% of your grade. So, attend the zoom and put your best foot forward.

Professor Sha was great to learn from. Coming from someone who is absolutely horrible at Math, I was able to pass a calculus class with a B! I'm extremely satisfied with how he has the course set up, and he's very clear on how things are graded. His personality is very kind, and he loves to pull out an occasional joke. 10/10 from me :)
