Dr Hajjari is an outstanding teacher. She is compassionate, approachable, and always there to help the students. Highly recommended!
4 exams drops lowest, 5 quizzes midterm & final & 2 group activities. Her tests are show work and time consuming but manageable. She added 10 points to the final just for completing the survey. She helps her students a lot and listens to their opinions. Shes such a nice and caring professor. Replies to emails right away. No webassign/hw,take her!!
Great teacher with an accessible teaching style. Benefits "hands on" learners best as she does lots of examples. Cares about her students and is willing to work with you if you have issues. Homework is graded and is pretty essential to passing. As with all calc classes, no practice fail. Badly. Practice w/ homework and on your own and you pass.
By far she is the most helpful professor. Not a lot of homework, she is very compassionate and will help you with anything. she gives all opportunities for students to do their best. if you miss any homework or quiz she will give you a chance. If you are looking for a hands-on professor She is your Professor...
Professor Hajjari is the only good professor at HCC based on my experience. I had her for Calculus 1 and online and she still managed to give a good class. I learned a lot with her, she really knows her stuff. She gives chance of extra credit and lets you use your notes for exams while in lockdown browser for her online classes.
Oh, words cant describe how good she is! She has 4 tests drops the lowest one. A midterm, and final. Her grading is so nice. She is very helpful, and cares deeply about your passing. I wish I had taken her even sooner. BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER. EVER
All of the good reviews below don't lie! She is the BEST teacher I have ever had. I wish I took her class sooner. She is very caring, patient, and generous to the students. Her assignments and grading criteria are clear and the homework is not bad at all. We had 4 tests and the lowest of them will be dropped.
Best Calculus teacher I have ever had. She cares about her students, grades easily, and knows how to teach. The reviews are exactly like the tests and she provides all of the material from the start so you can get ahead and understand what is going on. It doesn't get than her, take her while there are still spots left.
She's a must go professor. She communicates properly and perfectly through email. Easy grading, easy test, east work.
Dr. Hajjari is the best professor you can take. Period. She is the best at explaining, her readings are incredible because you understand everything perfectly, she is always willing to answer your questions and explain in detail again if necessary. She is very caring and wants her students to learn.
She is nice, but she talks a lot. She spends so much time in the beginning of class talking about non-class related topics, then says she doesn't have enough time when she actually starts teaching. She encourages feedback for problems during class, but gets very passive-aggressive if you answer it wrong. Very counter-intuitive
Took her online. she is a nice person, but a absolutely horrible teacher. Her videos are incredibly slow and her notes are very messy and contain errors. Shes very confusing. The hw in connect math is also ridiculously hard. Her exams are ok, she drops the lowest one as well. Nice lady, will respond to emails, but cannot teach for the life of her.
Few words, TAKE HER!!! DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE HER CLASS. She explains her lecture much better than a lot of other professors
Not a mean person but a really horrible teacher. So slow and extremely confusing. Homework is really hard even with mathway. Videos are long and grueling. I would not take her, at least not online. Would not have passed this class without the help of tutors.
Not the best professor, but she will make sure you understand so long as you reach out to her. She's very caring, but she basically teaches as if she does the math in her head, then expects everyone to understand. She makes a lot of mistakes that way, too. She's also very demeaning when you don't know something, but she will TRY to help if you ask.
TAKE HER, if only you are willing to work hard, listen to her lectures, and attend her classes. She is a gem and one of the best teachers in HCC. If you listen to her, do many questions, do her quizzes and exam reviews, you will be good.
She made the course easier than expected. 4Exams&webassign&tests befor exams& Mid-term(25%)&Final(25%). Caring to class grades so changed one due time for more time to practice. reviews are useful for all exams. enough time and 3 chances to take 4 tests before exams. Great that the grade is not just for few eaxams. Satisfied.
She is one of the best professors at HCC! Her exams were similar to reviews. For the final, I would say to not only focus on the final exam review for the class but also on the departmental final exam review. As long as you are dedicated and don't fall behind, you will do just great!
God bless her. Literally the best math professor at HCC. She is super understanding and will answer every question you have. She is very nice to the students and makes the class fun. Do not hesitate to take her seriously!
Just take her if you are willing to work hard, I took her second start so it felt like she was super fast paced with the lectures at first. But it was supposed to be like that, and DO NOT be afraid to ask questions. She's amazing.
I got a D in her class but it wasn't her fault, I messed it up myself but she is absolutely the best Professor. she will make you go to the board and solve some questions in order for you understand the concept
Cant understand her due to her heavy accent. Dosent teach good at all. Dont waste your money.
Dr. Hajjari is an amazing professor that cares about her students. Her exams were so easy if you just studied the material she provided and the book. She is very understanding and easy to talk to. You have to take her!
Skips through a lot of steps when explaining how she solved math problems and goes way too fast to even catch up. She gets upset with students if you're going too slow in solving problems. So many times there was stuff on test that she didn't even teach us (nor was it in the homework). Unless you're already really good in math I wouldn't take her.
I took her cal1 course. She's the best calculus/advanced math prof you'll find at HCC Period (from experience). I'm good at math, currently taking cal2 with another prof and feel like Ill fail the class. If you get an opportunity to take her class consider yourself you hit the jackpot. Breeze class compared to others. The good reviews are real.
Had her for 1324 she was ok. Her lectures were kind of messy she usually did not remember what place the class stopped. She either would only do examples or only give the formula. I had to study outside class. She was good but I don't recommend her unless you have to.
I took MATH1324. A great teacher who provides many examples during lectures and explains when someone doesn't understand. Weekly MyLab assignments with multiple attempts, bottom 10 dropped. 4 quizzes with 3 attempts, bottom dropped. 2 exams with MC and free response. Calculators allowed but you have to show your work. Calls people up to the board.
Took 1324 with her. She's just OK. She never remembered what chapter we last learned about, never able to finish teaching any chapter during class. Had to study outside of class a lot because she couldn't finish teaching anything in class. Tests were kinda hard since she would always add open ended questions. Dont take her unless you have to.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS, she does not explain well nor teach well, if you struggle with math already, DO NOT TAKE HER, please please read the negative comments, I thought she would actually be what her rating was, which was a 4/5, but all the negative comments were right, she is not a good professor!
Honestly don't take her class. When I decided to take her class, I based my decision on the fact that she had a 4/5-star review. After taking this course I deeply regretted my decision. I was already struggling with math, and she was so undedicated to teach her students if you take this class, you will be teaching yourself.
Expected Linear Algebra to be hard, but she made it so approachable! Only 2 exams plus a comprehensive final. Gave EC for the first one and curved the second. Her reviews are just like the tests and mostly multiple choice. Never gets frustrated by questions or reexplaining concepts. Favorite class of the semester. Take her if you have the chance!!
Trick questions on the quizzes and tests on purpose. She teaches basic Calculus and puts 3x as hard equations on the exams. She puts questions on the quizzes she never lectured about. People are thinking about dropping the course after the first exam when everyone studied very hard.
Do not trust the good rating on RMP. Her lectures are confusing and disorganized. She relies on the information in the textbook to teach but she doesn't make it easy to understand. I suggest self teaching and asking the TA for help. I think her only redeeming quality is that she is chill and funny, however that can only take you so far...
Not a very good professor. Confusing lectures, does the math in her head, and yet expects students to understand the topic. If this is your first introduction to calculus then be prepared to do a lot of reading and teaching yourself. Choose a different professor if you can.
She can teach and can answer questions well when asked in class. However, her lectures are very confusing and fast-paced as she does all of the work in her head. Her exams are nothing like the reviews she provides. She asks very difficult questions on her exams and does not allow calculators. The majority of people are struggling in class.
She is the worst! If you are taking Calc 1, the good reviews DO NOT APPLY. Lectures are disorganized, she teaches basic topics in class and basic examples for hw/reviews, but for the exams she puts hard questions that arent easy to do in your head. Never enough time to complete her exams. You will be teaching yourself everything. Her TA is better.
Best professor for math. Just by looking at the bad reviews from that same person (all reviews are at the same date), does not mean she is a rude and her tests are hard. Math is hard of course, but she does an amazing job teaching. Her exams are very similar to the reviews and she does not allow calculators because she only brings up easy questions
She is a good teacher, I always struggled with math and take longer to understand things, so a fast class didn't really help. If you have a question she will gladly try to explain it, as well as giving points on tests even if you forgot a negative. She doesn't allow calculators in class, so be warned. But overall I would take her again
Dr. Hajjari is an amazing and caring professor. Her tests are similar to her reviews and if you study, you will do well for sure. She always cares about her students and is always willing to do an office hour with you if you need extra help. Her lectures are very helpful to prepare for exams because she gives many examples.
a very difficult. made the mistake of taking this prof based on the good review. Her reviews are nothing like the test. The tests were super difficult. She is also not very good at teaching, does few simple questions, and asks much harder ones for the test. Her TA is so much better. Woundnt recommend taking her
I took LA with Dr.Hajjari and it was great! The class will be hard if you procrastinate. I rely on myself when studying but she's always there to help during office hours. She's very understanding if you reach out. Exams are straightforward and easy if you study. I recommend her if you're willing to work hard.
She is a good professor but she teaches the basics and her exams have harder problems/ things she didn't really teach which reflect on your grade. Exams are mc and fr, and no calculators. She offers extra credit, usually 5 points, and was generous enough to basically add 10 points to your final exam grade. Everything is monitored even quizzes.
Took her to the summer term, pretty packed for the 5 weeks but she managed to teach very well.
I took this class Spring of 2023. The teacher was nice but the lecture and homework don't prepare you for the test. If you want to pass you need to spend a lot of time studying.
Professor Hajjari is one of the best math teachers in HCC, she is always available to help her students with any question. She is effective at communication and has partial credit on free-response questions. She has exam reviews that have a lot of examples, however no calculators due to the test only having questions that can be done manually.
Worst professor I have ever taken. Visited her during office hours and she yelled at me for not knowing how to do a problem. That is the reason I'm here? There is homework due every week and she moves on really quick. If you're smart and can grasp concepts within a couple of days, take her. I learn a bit slower and had heavier courses so I dropped.
Dr. Hajjari is incredibly rude towards those who had asked questions in class and makes other students afraid to ask questions. She constantly skips steps in lectures and goes way too fast and gets frustrated if you can't keep up. You'll have to teach yourself everything from a third-party site she makes you pay for to do homework and quizzes.
It was OK. Quizzes were not easy, you definitely need to work very hard in this class to make it.
Oh boy, do I have something to tell you about this teacher. Dr. Hajjari has to be one of the absolute worst teachers I have ever had in a long time. She thinks disrespecting students is fun, and gets angry when you ask a question. Not to mention, the "clear" and "riiights" get incredibly infuriating, no NOTHING IS CLEAR ABOUT YOU! Act like an adult
Dont take her if u havent passed the TSI or didnt do good in algebra 2 in HS. HW and Quiz (online) r VERY different from the exams (4 exams total). She drops 2 lowest quizzes, gives partial credit on exams and extra credit sometimes. Also doesnt efficiently use the class time and mostly teaches by the txtbook. ull be teaching urself if u take her
One of the rudest professors Ive had she would get mad at students when they asked questions, or explain things in a way where she was mimicking you. I thought I was the only one struggling but everyone in my class agreed that they were completely lost and failing. Almost no one would pass the tests. By the end of the semester everyone dropped out
I've taken math online for the last 2 years and have never had such a horrible experience. This Professor is rude, disrespectful. Does not care about her students passing at ALL. Please avoid!
The class wasnt too bad, but if you dont like teaching yourself then dont take it. The professor wants to help, so dont be shy to ask questions. She gives extra credit which helps a lot, but its not always guaranteed. Lots of homework, but theyre all online and mainly there to boost ur grade. She tends to overcomplicate simple topics.
Don't take unless you like teaching yourself and like being frustrated. Was very rude in the beginning but changed near the end (I'm still salty tho), and there are no calculators and I only passed because of how many grades she had dropped. Almost everyone dropped the class in the beginning too, and overall just a very bad experience.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. LISTEN TO ME. This professor is extremely rude and will get annoyed at you if you don't understand. Get ready to hear "Clearrrrr" and "righttttt." She is very tough. Homeworks and quizzes are online. I was the last person to drop the class. I had hope raising my grade but the teacher is very difficult.
THE WORST PROF. Online anytime class. She requires you to show your desk during the test and is very strict about it, even if it is physically impossible to show. Grades harshly, class average got a 40/100 for exams. She doesn't update grades so everyone has lower than a 70% and it isn't accurate. DO NOT TAKE HER
This professor knows how to teach Trig. She's very caring and won't move forward with the lecture until every student understands the math. Mind you this was an online on a schedule during summer. I usually don't take online math courses during the summer because math can get intense quickly. But Dr.Hajjari made trig easy to learn. Take her!
my rating was deleted, dont take this class if you value your time
I loved taking trig with Dr. Hajjari. Math used to be my weakest and least favorite subject until taking her class. The BEST way to reach her is in-person during her office hours. She will answer any questions you have and will even work out the problems and explain every step. She truly cares for her students, but you have to show initiative.
My class was math for teachers. She is a good professor for implimenting teaching related questions into her assignments. She gives good reviews and holds review online sessions. She gave much effort for teaching us math.
Participation is KEY, ask questions, make friends/study groups. You truly get out what you put in. Math is NOT a subject you can skim and cram the night before, you HAVE to put in the repetition. She loves to help, I told her an area I struggled in and she handed me a TON of practice material. Homeworks are guaranteed 100s, she gives extra credit.
Horrible. took her online anytime for Elementary Statistical Methods and I would never do it again. Most of my classmates withdrew. She has video lectures, but you can't even hear the audio in a lot of them and it doesn't go with the notes that she has for the class. Stickler for lockdown browser on quizzes and requires you to show face and desk.
This professor was fairly easy. I will say that you have to ask questions frequently in order to do well in this class. Her teaching is fair, but not the best. Personally, I would not take this professor again. She assigns homework over lessons we have not gone over, which makes everything fairly difficult.
HORRIBLE!!!!!! if you can avoid save yourself the money. She does not make any effort, she does not care for her students understanding of the material. She frequently skips around actually explaining how to solve problems and gets her own problems wrong. She does not do extra credit, her work is ridiculously fast paced. AVOID i wish did.
She is a very hard grader, she doesn't respond to emails and would frequently change your grade.
Do not take her! She grades so hard and uses the most basic examples when teaching. Upon that, she told us that the correct answer was not in the question but if we didn't show that we got the correct answer she would take off points. She proctors exams and some quizzes as well, and will give you a 0 if you get the answer but don't show steps.
This course is straightforward but requires detailed test answers and uses a lockdown browser with frequent quizzes. Expect a heavy workload and be ready to put in the effort!
Class was taken during a 5 week period. She was very accommodating and accessible through email. Overall just be sure to use the textbook and do the reviews (optional/not graded) to succeed on the tests.
horrible teacher and extremely rude, she gets upset when you don't understand and isn't very helpful overall
This is the worst professor out of all she never grades when you do both exams and homework and if you pass she takes off points. Everyone in that class is passing these courses she never puts in the right grades. She needs to be FIRED.
I had a terrible experience in this class. She consistently entered the wrong grades, and when I raised the issue, she was dismissive and passive-aggressive. The online lectures had no audio, making it impossible to learn anything. It felt like she didn't care about her students at all. I wouldn't recommend taking her class!
Do not take if you care about your well being
Do not take her class, almost everyone in my class withdrew. She is so rude especially when you don't understand. SHE CAN'T TEACH AT ALL. Her accent is really bad! Also, everyone failed the test, and she wouldn't let us retake it or curve the test.
Terrible teacher, poor lectures, really strong accent, no extra credit, does not explain course material properly, more than half of the class dropped the course, hard grader, and very rude. Overall would not recommend.
the worst professor, I took this class online, you have to show your desk and paper or you will get like 30 points off. my friend had took her in person and she was being very racist towards her because she is Arab. I would NOT recommend her at all.
The beginning of the year was very rough for grades but at the end she gave alot of extra credit opportunities. There is a lot of homework so be ready for that, and make sure you study for your test a week or 2 prior.
Very strict, she does not understand everyone learns differently. She requires you to show your work for the online class, but if it is not the way of the textbook you get points deducted even if the work and answers are correct. Does not respond to emails or questions. Good luck to anyone that chooses this professor.
This math teacher is extremely strict and unfair she lower the grades for even the smallest mistakes and enforce overly harsh rules that make it hard to succeed. Instead of supporting students, her grading system and teaching style create unnecessary stress and confusion.
DO NOT take a class with this professor. The test are created to make you fail! The test are difficult for no reason. If you do not want to waste your time and money don't take this professor!!!
WORST PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET.
Dr. Hajjari is one of the most unfair professors I've had. She cuts grades without valid reasons, ignores student effort, and doesn't seem to care about your success. No matter how hard you try, it feels like she looks for ways to lower your score.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER BE ON THIS WEBSITE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE AND KEEP YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. AND IF YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, WAIT TILL NEXT SEMESTER; I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT .
If you're good at math, like teaching yourself and like to stay on track for graduation, by all means take her. However, if you're the opposite of what I said DO NOT TAKE HER. Shes nice, but her exams are a grade killer as half of each exam is written response which might lower your chances of passing. You also must upload your exam work.
I'd stay far away. After every test we take, she'll ask the chat how it went, and the chat becomes a thesaurus for the word awful as everyone shares their experience. She talks so much but somehow not enough, wont answer students' questions cause she assumes they 'weren't listening' when she just can't teach. Worst professor in 20 classes I've had.
I take her Summer class and the only cons I can give to her is her assignment not to heavy. But pros that she only give us access code for first 14 days, after you need to pay, 90$+tax.She ocasionally give you reason to cut your grade.Her Exam is hard and she required many things not just only cam. Conclusion, dont take her class our you will pay
It was a bad experience, she asked to set up the camera and other things, and if you didn't do it right, she would deduct all urs points. She cut my grade to D because im not show my whole desk. Never understanding, and always think her students are cheating. She will cut your pts for no reason. Don't take her class if you want to save your time.
This professor is the worst. She is very difficult to get a hold of. She assumes you're cheating when you aren't. I got an A on a test and was given a lower grade because I turned in my work 1 minute late. I was given 10 minutes to turn it in and had to make it a pdf. SHE SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!! What professor thinks that this is okay.
Mrs Hajjari is the worst professor I have ever encountered. She finds excuses to lower your grade and makes up the rules as she goes along (even when you've scored well on the exam). The rules on how the camera should be setup changes on a whim, she never responds to emails asking for help. I do not know how she's still employed at HCC. Stay away!
Ms.H is very demeaning when students asks questions. On top of that she never responds to her emails. Hard to understand what she's saying and doesn't allow calculators in class???
I found out that she requires you to upload your scratch paper; it's mandatory, and if you don't upload it, she deducts points. She also uses LockDown Browser, which is fine, but she wants the camera positioned a certain way, or you're considered a cheater. I've worked too hard to let her fail me over technicalities.
She makes it very clear that she is not here to help, she is VERY strict when it comes to showing your work on tests, you could have gotten the answer correct but if you did not neatly write the work neatly or show the work the way she taught it, she WILL take points off, even though you got it correct. For your own good, avoid her at all cost!!!
For your own grades and mental health do not take her. She is very fast paced and I mean her teaching. She moves on to quick. She literally laughed at this one kid for asking a reasonable question because we were all confused. She does not want any calculators and rarely any formulas. If you make it late to a test she marks you as late.
She gives note pdf files and expects us to learn and test on them. She is very polite when talking to her but she doesn't give examples or practice assignments. When we do assignments we have to go to the full extent of scanning our area, talking so she can hear our voice, and do a bunch of things for assignments.
DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!!
She's okay, she's just really bad at explaining things so if you take her get ready to teach yourself all of the units at home. She assigns homework which is more helpful than her teaching honestly. She's kind and tries to be helpful but it's just not it.
Run as far as possible. Exams are what you're grade is. She requires you to submit you're scratch paper and it has to be organized. If you have correct answers but didn't "do it right" she marks them incorrect. She expects you to use the textbook in every way including doing you're work just like they solve it. I was an A's and B's student til her.
She cannot teach. Supposed to have a degree in this I believe but can barely do basic algebra without making mistakes and miscalculations left and right. Overcomplicates simple topic, goes in depth for things that do not matter. Not super harsh with grading, but her homework and quizzes were often incorrect and she would have us redo them
Overall great professor and understanding with questions. Some questions require slightly extra effort as she asks for “why” sometimes on how we got an answer
the difficulty in this class mostly stems from the professor expecting complete understanding of the theory, although she is not the best at explaining certain things. it might be difficult if you are taking this course at the same time as another math course but it is doable. she dropped a test, 2 quizzes, and 5 homework assignments at the end.
