IMO his teaching method needs a little work because it can get a little confusing. But he is super nice and really does try to help any student as much as possible. He doesn't give a lot of examples in class, the homework has easy problems but the tests have much more harder ones. Take him if you catch on easily.

Prof. Ndiaye is a wonderful person. He is kind, warm, and a good teacher. English is not his first language, so sometimes there is confusion when asking a question, or for clarification, but usually those things get worked out quickly. He creates a very nice atmosphere, and is very fair. I enjoyed his class a lot.

I'm not satisfied at all... This professor pairs you with other students who are selective in who they choose to deal with. My group failed to tag me in the group project and I was deducted 40 points. When I brought this to his attention he said "no makeups". If you already know math you should be fine, but if you are like me. Stay away.

I really loved this class. I took MAT 150 as a Winter Session Course and I loved it. I have never learned so much in so little time. You need to put a lot of time, a lot of dedication. But he presents you the material in a lot of different ways, in this way you can choose the leaning method that works better for you!

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is caring and very understanding! I took this course over the winter. It was a 3 week course. The way this course was put together is very organized. The work is very time consuming but what you put into the class, is the outcome you will receive. I loved that you can see your grades automatically on blackboard.

Wow this class was a lot of work!!! But I actually enjoyed it and I hate math. My back hurt from hours of doing work but at the end it pays off. The professor is organized and just was so smooth aside from really working hard at it. He will also drop some of your low grades.

This professor is extremely difficult to understand. Most people couldn't understand anything that the professor said. He is not approachable. He doesn't like it if you ask questions. If you want to learn this material better to find another professor.

This is my second time writing a review, I decided to go back and write a fair review. He is a great professor and will help you learn a lot about the material but make sure you schedule his class properly.

Class was async. There was a discussion board every week and a couple group projects. You basically read the textbook and watch a couple of videos followed by quizzes to show you got it and then a practice test and a test. You get multiple tries on everything and during the final he opened up past work so that you can try to improve your grades.

Prof. Ndiaye is excellent. I was nervous to take his class as I am not a math person, but he makes the subject very approachable. Tests were open note and he allowed multiple tries on the online homework. He really wants to help his students not only understand the material but also do well in the class. Encourages a lot of class participation.

There isn't a "textbook", but you need an online subscription to Pearson to access class material. Lots of chances to redo work, weekly discussion boards, some extra credit and a detailed schedule laid out from day 1. This class was not easy by any means (I'm also not a math person), so you need to put in effort if you want that A.

He is very tough (as in the work is extremely hard, and there is a lot to cover), BUT if you put in the work, come to every class, and go to tutoring as much as you can he will look out and grade you generously. He also offers extra credit everytime to go to tutoring, which he doesn't have to do. I now know how to do data & standard deviation ETC

I was not sure how to feel about his grading style at first, but as the semester progressed, I noticed this is meant to help the students. He drops 3-4 of the lowest quizzes, 1-2 of the group assignments, and 3-4 of the checkpoints (tests). Open notebook tests help to pass. Take notes, do the practice quizzes and you will get an easy A! l

The professor was nice, supportive, and really worked with students. He gave group work—make sure to choose a good group. Homework was on a paid site. He broke things down clearly, was attentive, and gave many chances to understand the material. Overall, he's a professor who wants you to succeed and will work with you to make sure you do.

Don't think twice he's so good, First of all he gave us 2 group assignments through the whole semester. After every chapter he gives a checkpoint. Each is 2 attempts, he provides answer keys, all the quizzes and the final exam is open book. He accepts late hw with 10% penalty, he drops the least score assignments and checkpoints at end of semester.
