You'll be a min late you can't enter the class...plus he don't speak good english so he's hard to understand...but his class work is easy

Unintelligible teacher, gives incredibly difficult MAPLE projects and an average workload.

a total jerk

The most terrible class i have ever had !!!

freakshow. scary. bad teacher.... and a jerk

He is not nice, hard to understand and does not teach very well I just took to the material

Lectures cover only the easiest of the material you will be tested on. Refuses to answer questions from homework & resents you if you ask him to do so. Speeds through sections if there is not enough time. Once he tested us on material he had only breifly covered the DAY BEFORE. Doesn't write any of his own Qs & I don't think he knows the material.

He is the worst math teacher i have ever seen. He puts problems that we have never seen and expects us to get them right. His teaching style is also terrible because he forces us to think like him. Save your self. Do not take his precal class.

Horrible Teacher, he doesnt drop any tests doesnt give much extra credit and doesnt explain things. He has a very thick accent and the way he talks is hard to understand.Attendence is mandatory and he gets mad if your late. He also doesnt accept any late work. Bad teaching skills he just moves through the material so fast w/o explaining throughly

Truly the worst teaching professor I've ever encountered. Always on the an automatic defense for clarification durning his lecture, does not have office yours and states to go to the math lab for additional help. A professor who has full time status, teaching assistance to grade his work for him, he seems to be a very jaded individual.

The worst teacher I've ever taken. He mutters, is unclear, and blazes through the content faster than any of the other classes with nothing to show for it. Do yourself a favor and take almost any other Calc teacher. Calc II is very hard, and you do not want to put your learning in this man's hands for such a pivotal class.

This teacher gives too much homework. Many students have complained that they cannot do homeworks from other subjects because of the homework load he gave us. Literally 1 chapter every week and in one chapter there are 5-7 sections where there are 50 questions that you need to do for each section. He also wasn't able to answer many students' qn's.

Teacher couldn't do many questions from students. If he thinks he cannot do it, he calls our questions a joke.

He's too hard on his lecture. Mostly forced too many sections in a week. Many of the students didn't get a good grade for his 10-12 sections per exam and exams are only announced 2 days before.

Do you like not knowing when exams are? Do you like not knowing what your homework is? Do you like starting class late? Do you absolutely love when your professor isn't prepared or organized, which wastes time, but reminds the class daily that you made a mistake taking summer class because we have less time to learn the material? Then, take Terefe!

I would say that this is the most disappointing professor I 've ever experienced, it does not mean that he is horribly bad. He has a heavy accent, which is difficult to understand. He is not very good at explaining things and is not very clear what topics will be on the test. I would recommend taking other professors if you can.

Worst professor I've had so far. His lectures are difficult to understand and the homework load is much higher than the other Calc 2 classes. Doesn't use Canvas or WAMAP so it's difficult to keep up with the nightly work.

A nice teacher, but an incompetent organizer. Makes announcements in random places & gives out multiple schedules which conflict with each other. You'll end up missing due dates no matter what you do. Answers questions late, or not at all. Even if you are a dedicated student, you can't do well in a class with no consistency. Very frustrating

Imagine a professor who just didn't answer emails and when he does, he doesn't follow through. At least he is nice enough but he isn't the best teacher on because of an inability to organize. (Covid review)

His lectures are terrible and a waste of time. He penalizes students that don't show up to his low-quality zoom lectures, posts no information, gives no feedback. He never responded to any of my emails the entire quarter. run away from this man.

Intensely difficult tests with very little time given. Tests regularly contain problems that are much more complex and difficult than anything on the homework. Homework is easy but matters very little for the final grade. Very little instruction; tends to only do easy problems in lecture and then test much more difficult problems.

If it's still Corona times I would avoid him no matter what. He gives terrible lectures that are basically inaudible and literally does not communicate outside of class. the only posts he made all quarter were for each test, the night before we took them. He never responded to emails or posted in the forums. The tests were fast paced.

Hate to say a prof is bad especially when not gifted at math. But as someone currently in during covid, this has got to be one of the worse. I am A/A- student, only taking this class this qtr. This prof is not understanding, does not communicate, does not give EC, does not rd thru work, assigns hrs of mindless hw, no late work accepted- no excuses.

This is it, the epitome of bad teaching. This is in no way a reflection of his personality or persons as a whole. I can not attest to that. This class is the worst class I've ever taken. I asked around, and upperclassmen said if they see he's teaching, they will drop out for the quarter or literally apply to a different school to take it elsewhere.

One of the worst Professors I've ever had. Can't see your grades, poor internet causes choppy Zoom lectures, unorganized, doesn't communicate outside of class except for tests. The videos that are posted that are supposed to help you are very low quality, best resource is the textbook or online sources. You pretty much have to teach yourself math.

So I took MATH 152 with Terefe before COVID and MATH 224 with Terefe during COVID. 152 went well actually, because I was in class actively participating. 224 was online. It was not fun at all, and was easily the hardest class I've taken in college so far. He made this class ridiculously hard for no reason. He's a funny dude though.

Took Terefes class in person last year and he was passable, just a teacher you would take for credits only. But online he's GOD AWFUL! No communication whatsoever outside of his low quality lectures, doesn't respond to any messages you send to him through his phone, email, or WAMAP. IMO, avoid him like how he avoids being a decent teacher

If you're enrolled in any of Terefe's courses, drop right now. He does not award partial credit for exams, or even review work submitted via WAMAP. Literally any other professor out there will award partial credit and not abandon their job in the middle of a pandemic.

*this was a COVID class & a shortened summer quarter class He's a nice guy who I can see being a joy to have an in-person class with. HOWEVER, his virtual class needs major improvement. He was hard to get in touch with, and the online class was prone to errors. He was also unreasonable when we had concerns about test dates and final exam times

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS! I unfortunately had to enroll because he was the only teacher left. He is unorganized and doesn't reply back to your messages. I had a major family emergency and he ignored it saying, and I quote, "You did not raise this issue at that time. Now you are unhappy with your grade." Very insensitive. Don't take him!

non compensation and unnecessary tough measures by the professor. He is not communicative, in his class he had posted syllabus from another instructors class with incomplete instructions. Overall when handling student difficulties, I found the professor to play a crucial incompetent role which lead to spoiling my grade and motivation .

He doesn't care about his students at all. He never uses his own work to demonstrate the topic, he just pasts the videos of Khan Academy from YouTube. I do not know what he's getting paid for. I received a reply to the email 10 days after I sent it. The homework is graded toughly. Do NOT take his class, he will destroy your GPA. AGAIN DO NOT TAKE!

I didnt attend a single lecture and you probably shouldnt. It was much quicker for me to parse through the textbook and look up videos on how to solve for answers. Theres usually 30-60 math questions each week so it's definitely annoying. You rarely show work, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't write down your math because it might be handy later.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS, this guy does not care about his students at all he's an overall horrible professor he made attendance mandatory however I spent 90% of my time learning by myself when I was in his class he's one of the worst professors I've had, I don't know what he's getting paid for.

This guy was really bad at teaching, and I walked out of every lecture more confused than anything. He ruined material that I felt confident about and left me completely in the dark when it came to learning newer harder stuff. Also got a major creepy vibe from him and he would always stare at my chest during class.

He's horrible. prepare to learn nothing. He doesn't give an f. if you pass or fail. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY HE IS HIRED IN THIS POSITION. They need to fire him. I love math and I passed it all on my own teaching. And the saddest part is that he's the only math Cac prof available at the school.

I don't even know how is he a prof. He genuinely dose not teach. You'll be on your own teaching yourself and YouTube will be your best friend to pass the course. I would never taken him but sadly he's the only one available to "teach" this course. The school should fire profs that are useless and he's on top of the list.

Ive bn at SCC for almost two years. However, this one would be the worst of all the time he's not responding to the emails and his voice in the lecture is horrible you barely hear him and if you do you wouldn't understand him at all. He thinks all the students are fully prepared and have the full knowledge of the course which is not true DONT TAKE

He assumes everyone is prepared for the stuff he's supposed to teach and focuses on the things from earlier classes. IF he covered something the homework would be harder if he didn't cover ways to solve and there are more topics he never mentioned due the same week. Use YouTube to learn anything. It's stupid that he's the only one for this course.

Extremely difficult math teacher. His lectures tend to be boring and generally not too helpful so you have to study on your own. He was giving 40-50 homework problems per week which if you're not prepared for can be very challenging.

By far the worst teacher I have ever had, he tries to act like he wants you to engage and ask questions but then he will "jokingly" tell people to shut up. Extremely lazy, won't respond to emails, his English is terrible and when we lost power for 4 days, he said that wasn't an excuse to get extensions for homework or the quiz. He should be fired.

There are no lectures. Reading and watching videos for Calc II is a must. Professor's reply to discussion boards and help are not helpful at all, that is if your even lucky enough to get a response.

DO NOT TAKE!! This is the only time a professor has ever made me CRY from the way they treated me. The only way I can describe him is cruel. Throughout the course, I sent a few extremely politely worded emails for clarification and he responded in a very mean way each time, blaming me. Do not take unless you want to be verbally abused and ignored.

Never in one million years would I ever take this professor's classes ever again. I haven't learned anything in his lectures after U substitution. From my experience, it might be better to just study on your own because this professor won't teach you much.

WORST TEACHER EVER

The professor takes forever to reply to emails and math problems, do not clarify to any questions. I strongly recommend DON'T take his class.

yeah no thanks never coming back...He gives terrible explanation to questions, and you can never reach him through email.

RUN!!! It's impossible to reach him outside of school, he said he will answer questions through wamap but always reply five to seven days after the message was sent. He gives lectures but not helpful at all, the youtube videos he provides are better, basically completely self-taught. Take this class then be ready to learn nothing from him.

Just don't take his class...

Bad lectures, bad explanations for questions, not responsible, bad attitude when you ask him multiple questions, bad accent, slow replies, just run.

Strongly recommend to not take his class. He gives bad lectures and unclear explanation to questions

I don't think he's taking his job seriously... He's got many mistakes in his syllabus, probably not even the right one for my class. Mixed two different classes into one online classroom. Didn't address the issue when I asked him about it.

The thing he lectured and the homework and the problems on the exam are three different things.

I would never take it again

Not a professional teacher

He's such a slow grader, and his exams had questions that had never shown up in previous assignments before, lectures are not helpful

He's got many mistakes in his syllabus. I don't understand his lecture

His lectures and teaching style are not amazing, you're honestly better off just doing the WAMAP assignments and not going to the lectures. When you do go to class, he is very ill-mannered and has a short temper for questions. This is NOT a class that you will learn exceptionally well in.
