Class seems extremely unorganized from a student standpoint. Switches between canvas and hawkes and its not always clear what assignments are due when. Her accent is difficult to understand and she teaches as though you already know the material. Use your resources and study a lot to be successful!!

Professor Bakhour was very rude to me when I reached out for help this past semester, to the point where I've never felt so disrespected by a teacher before in my life. Heavy course load for just college algebra. Not accommodating in the slightest. Would not recommend her class based off of my experience with her as a professor.

She really made me wonder about how people can be so harsh during such a difficult time. I hate to say it but she is impossible to understand (my family are immigrants w accents and I couldnt understand her), is "unable" to except ANY late work at all, and everything is on Hawkes website so good luck getting the website to accept a CORRECT answer.

Avoid at all costs.

This professor teaches as if you already know what you're learning. I can describe the class environment as a mixture of fast-paced scattered teaching matched with sudden arguments with students. You're in for a tough hour and a difficult time on the exams. Even if you're great at math, this will be a challenging class.

Learned more from unnecessary amount of homework than the actual professor. Anytime you ask her to explain something again because she speaks to herself or slow down, she yells at you, condescends you or ignores you. Our exams and final exam were supposed to be on Hawkes (as stated on syllabus) & switches it up in the middle of semester.

Professor Bakhour's teaching makes no sense. If you try to ask a question, she either yells at you or explains it as "that's just the way it is". She gives so much homework on an online source called "Hawkes" and if you don't finish it by that night, it's a 0. Avoid at all costs or be prepared to learn through the practice on Hawkes.

She is rude and does not care

She has an accent and talks very quietly and if you politely ask her to speak up she will yell at you in front of the whole class. Everyone in the class complained that they couldn't hear her and she didn't speak up the whole semester. Anytime anyone asked a question she would yell at them. Just watch the videos on Hawkes and you will be fine.

Professor Bakhour not only talks very quietly with a heavy accent but also overcomplicates every math problem and makes it very hard to understand. Even the most basic math problems are turned into what seems like impossible to learn. She does not allow you to ask questions and contradicted her syllabus by switching online tests to paper.

This professor is extremely difficult as she does not explain things in an easy to understand manner. You have to go to class in order to take notes, otherwise you won't do well! Those tests are extremely difficult, so study hard for everything. Try your best and get help outside of the classroom. It is hard, but you can get an A or B.

Doesn't speak English very well, very hard to understand and gets mad when you ask her to slow down. Everything you need in order to teach yourself is in the online program that's required. I stopped going to class about halfway through the semester and only showed up for her tests that she insists on having in person instead of online.

You cannot understand Professor Bakhour. Her accent is very thick and I had no idea what was going on. No one payed attention in that class because by the time you grasped what she said two minutes ago, it was already too late. I was also mis-leaded with my grade when I thought I had a 97% in Canvas and had a 83% in Hawkes and she took the Hawkes..

Difficulty understanding due to a thick accent. Lectures consist of her just solving problems on the board, which can be quite boring. The homework, done online through Hawkes, takes a long time to complete. She also misled many by not making it clear that your grade for the class comes from the HAWKES grade book, NOT Canvas. All I can say is, RUN!

Has the thickest accent and when you ask for her to repeat something she acts as if we are stupid and dumb. Is not good at teacher either.

ALL assignments are done/graded on this math website, not canvas. The lessons on the math website and her in-person lectures were hard and never correlated with one another even though it was in the same lesson. Would often go off-topic and talk about her daughter as a way to connect with the lesson but it never did

There are many things wrong with this woman, but a few can be chalked up to her aptitude for lack of sympathy. It's like she feeds off of it. I told her I had a familial issue that would force me to leave school at variable times. Comes finals week and I make a C. Pretty decent considering my year. No round up, no care. Evil woman, that. AVOID HER!

You'll need to teach yourself, terrible lecturer She tells the answer without explanation & is homework due EVERYDAY ! Test are hard. Found out I was taking this class for no reason I was taking Cal & Pre-cal at the same time I had an A in Cal & an F in pre cal that says a lot about how the material is being taught.

The sheer amount of 5.0s and 1.0s display honesty between one and another done likely for extra credit. This woman is absolutely vile and displays obvious tells of carelessness. May her removal from this institution be swift.

I dread going to class every morning and reading through these reviews honestly sound unrealistic. She speeds through lessons so much that we'll end up sometimes correcting her. Canvas grades never match up to your Hawks and assignments never line up to the lessons. We have quizzes on things you weren't taught and you have to teach yourself.

She had a really bad way of explaining the work! Don't recommend unless you want to be lost!!!

She doesn't like when you ask her questions or if you ask her to repeat herself.

Very quiet, heavy accent, and REFUSES to use her mic. However, you can learn the entire course from Hawkes or even look up videos on Khan academy. Don't even try paying attention in this class, because it's almost impossible to hear or understand her.

Professor Bakhour is not a good professor at all. She does not even try to speak up when her students cannot hear. Not everybody can move closer; there are not enough seats for this. When asked a question she is rude.

this professor goes off on tangents and doesn't explain the material good at all. plus her accent is so thick you can barley understand her plus she doesn't use her mic ever. help yourself and choose someone else

PF is kind but arguably the worst professor at UNCC—maybe the entire county. Her fast-paced style and thick accent make understanding impossible in an already hard class. Questions get attitude, not answers. 95% of us are lost, frustrated, and disengaged. Avoid this class if you value your sanity and want a chance to succeed in calculus.

I would not take this professor if you have other options. I'm generally good at math, but this class made me doubt that. She uses the textbook but goes through it very fast and sometimes doesn't even finish solving the example problems. She goes off on random tangents and her accent and not using the microphone makes it hard to understand.

Don't take this professor, hard to understand. Lots of work, homework will save your grade, test are generally hard and the textbook sometimes don't teach what she does in lectures. Doesn't get through lectures but gives extra credit, take John Taylor

Accent is too hard to understand, 4 exams which are moderate-difficult, her study guide answers and work has shown to be incorrectly solved so many times, she's even threatened to not grade one of my exams due to a genuine question to help improve my grade. She also is biased towards A students and offers them a "job" to advertise herself as "good"

This instructor was highly ineffective. She has great difficulty communicating the concepts, she skips over steps constantly, she diverts into ramblings with constant dismissal that this subject is difficult for some. She is very hard to follow in class, was very grateful for the YouTube videos created by Meana Hastings, definitely

I sincerely try to listen in this class but it's impossible. She ventures so off-topic so frequently that it's hard to know when she's talking about the worksheet or her personal life. Her teaching method and the way she addresses any question like we're stupid is so incredibly offputting and annoying.

If anyone's looking at this review, I would advise be prepared to do a ton of work as well as make sure you can understand the professors accent. She was tough on grading tests to the point where everybody failed one of them and her teaching style did not work for me at all. She just goes too fast through the lectures.

She was so confused

Professor barely speaks any English. Very hard to understand her during her lectures. She also just doesn't seem to comprehend what she is teaching.

She seemed very confused while teaching when people asked questions and made her even more confused and the whole class was just the most confusing thing I've ever ever done in my whole life. Do not take this class.

DO NOT TAKE HER! She barely spoke English and went off on bizarre personal tangents. She explains things in a way that doesn't make sense and assigns up to 5 hours of homework a week for an entry level course.

Don't take her. Struggles to speak basic English. The only hard thing about this class is understand what she is saying during her lectures.

Extremely thick accent, constantly messing up during lectures and her writing is almost as hard to understand as her accent. Corrected by her own students quite often. Seems to have a very basic understanding of both the course content and the english language. PLEASE do not take her class if you have a choice, I wish I had dropped her.

Just finished Pre-Calc with her. DO NOT TAKE if you want to learn from a prof and not youtube or chat. You will not be able to understand her accent, and if you do her lecture wont actually teach you anything. She expects you to just know how to do all of the problems after seeing it one time.

DO NOT TAKE. Accent makes her impossible to understand. I had to learn the entire class on YouTube. Her canvas organizational skills are also terrible, with content all over the place. Should not have a job at a university.

DO NOT TAKE BY ANY MEANS. Doesn't speak English or use the microphone provided in class, does not care about students grades, study guides don't match tests, she will say one thing and it will be the complete opposite for the test, her classes are all over the place and her handwriting is terrible. Please do not take her

One of the WORST professors ever She DOES NOT speak proficient English and will talk to herself in lecture. Her "self"-made study guides don't match the 3 practice tests or the 3 exams. She denies students from her office hours; she cycles through old tests and material. You are better off learning from the YouTube playlist than from her lecturing.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE!!! I had to teach myself via youtube lectures. She rambles and skips over major key concepts. Many of her answers provided are incorrect, i'm not actually sure if she knows what she's attempting to teach. Can be very condescending. Very test heavy, with 3 *graded* practice tests and 3 tests + cumulative final exam. SAVE YOURSELF

DO NOT TAKE!! Got extra help, received tutoring, and still could not follow along to what she was "trying" to teach in class. You cannot understand what she is saying, or doing on paper when half of her notes are jumbled and/or incorrect. Was very condescending and said how easy the material was, while she was failing to teach us the course

THE WORST PROF AT UNC for someone of her background. Prof who don't speak english teach better than her. Learn from the YouTube and vist the math department AVOID HER.

Bottom tier professor she doesn't understand properly english or speaks loud enough for a lecture room, complains about students proficiency during office hours and leaves early, she admits to cycling through old material because she lazy and waits until the last second to grade test and or respond to emails.

The worst prof to be stuck with this semester I had to teach myself or sit in other professors lectures to understand. She makes comments about your ability to learn and will side talk to the TA about your knowledge and test scores
