I was pleasantly surprised. I actually attended regularly for the 1st 3/4th of the semester. Finally figured out that it was easy and left w/ my A. Oh, and yes she does speak English. Quite clearly. Would recommend her to anyone. Good Prof.

She is so sweet. She gives you lots of material. I really appreciate the webwork problems because they help me study harder.We love you miss.If you take this class with MIKE ALBANESE(CPCC) you will surely fail it.She is better than MIKE.

You definitely CAN use your calculators, but not the high tech ones that do all your work...TI-83 is okay! She is soo sweet and is willing to help you if you ask...easy grader and prepares students for the tests, no surprises. Highly recommend her!

Very nice teacher, willing to help you as much as she can. Gives a lot of homework and extra work, but it is well worth it. If you actually do it, it'll be an easy A! Sample tests are given prior to tests, it's the exact same thing given on the test day!

Extremely sweet, helpful woman. Her class is hard, but she is very patient and wants to see her students succeed. Her accent is a little difficult to decipher sometimes, but not for long. She is very sweet.

she is an excellent teacher believe me iam a math major and she made this difficult course manageable, she teaches very well and is helpful.come to class and do the assignments(she will give you plenty of time to do them) and you will do great.

Great teacher. She moves fast through the material, but slow enough so you can learn all the material. Plenty of extra credit, and easy tests (if you do the webwork). Probably the best "foreign math" teacher at UNCC.

Class material is hard, but Dr. Shaban will work with you and has office hours all the time. Gives extra credit and tests are usually easier than you expect if you study. Watch out for webwork though. She gives a lot of it. Also does lots of examples.

Excellent teacher and extremely smart. Doesn't focus on the "tricky" stuff, focuses instead on what's important. Do the homework, webwork and sample tests->make an A. Calculators are allowed, but you won't need one for the tests. Also, has of

web work is pointless, but she is aight

Webwork is difficult and there is too much of it!! Tests are fairly simple if u study!! Great teacher, must keep up with material though!

Very helpful and nice lady. Never makes you feel dumb about asking questions. Wish she was teaching differential equations again so I could take her class for that.

Helpful instructor!

this class was interesting and she is a very very very nice lady that is willing to help at ANYtime. I really like her and wish she teaches calc 3 and other math courses.

Great Teacher!!!! She will help you out with anything you need, and makes assignments clear. She has an accent, but it very easy to understand. Go to class and you will get an A.

Lots of Hmwork, if you keep on top of it you'll make an A. Great teacher, she knows her stuff.

Good teacher...a bit of a slave driver, but has good intentions. She really wants you to understand the material so be sure to do your homework if you want to pass the class.

Willing to answer all homework questions. Very fair. Speaks quietly but understandable. Do all your homework and webwork.

She's a great teacher. Very nice. Goes fast and gives a lot of homework, labs, quizzes, and webwork. Teaches by examples. Easy if you know calc and do the required work. She is extremely helpful and willing to answer any question anytime. Prepares you well for tests.

Her only goal is to help students understand the subject, she does whatever it takes to help students. SHE'S GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I'VE HAD IN YEARS! I'M REALLY THANKFUL TO HER BECAUSE OF ALL HER ENCOURAGE. JUST TAKE HER! I'M TELLING YOU! SHE'S AWESOOOOOME! THE BEST!!

Nice professor. She gives out a ton of homework but you will do very good on her tests if you don't fall behind. If you do the homework, you can easily get an A or B on her tests even if you don't study for them.

the best math teacher I've had since seventh grade when it was easy. Really cares about students learning and getting good grades- postpones tests & quizzes if she feels students are not ready, gives bookoo book homework, but doesnt take it up, explains things well- take notes and get good grade

Great Teacher very helpful

Excellent teacher! Highly recommend her to anyone. She cares about her students, wants everyone to excel, and is willing to help and even push back assignments so students will do better. Very fast past, funny, tons of work. Do the work and guarantee A or B.

She is the best math professor ive ever had. She let me in her class after it closed. I did better in stat than I did in college algebra. She made everything very easy. I would recommend her to anyone thats not real good in math bc her goal is to help, not see anyone fail.

boring class, nice lady.....tries to be funny at times and assignes a lot of homework. guaranteed good grade if you come to class everyday. best math teacher in UNCC

She's just the best!!!! If you can take it do so and put effort in everything. SHE'LL HELP YOU IN WHATEVER YOU WANT! SHE'S THE BEST MATH TEACHER I'VE HAD SINCE I STARTED THE SCHOOL CAREER...THAT MEANS SINCE I STARTED KINDERGARTEN....SHE'S AWESOME!

Stats is difficult, but Dr. Shaban is a wonderful teacher. She also has the sweetest personality. Take her class, you'll love her too.

Very good professor. She is very professional, she is there to teach Math and she does it. She teaches it until you learn it. She gives lots of homework. If you come to class, do all the homework, you are sure to get an A or a B. She is worth having as an instructor.

Wonderful teacher! She has a little accent but you can understand her. She goes through the material slowly so that you can understand it. Gives quizes and webwork, but it helps you understand the material. BEST STATS TEACHER EVER!!

One of the best professors you will ever have. Gives a fair amount of homework and webwork, but explains everything very clearly. Always willing to help students. Attend class and do some of the homework and you will get an A or B.

I had to drop the class because I was taking so many classes, but she is a very good teacher. She has way too many web works though. I felt like I was just doing math hw all the time because she gave us so much to do, but I guess in the end it would be worth it.

One of the best math teachers I had, I struggled at first but she is willing to help and the homework and webwork she assigns isnt busy work it actually helps you understand the material. Even gives extra credit for attending. Funny too. Definitely the best Math teacher at UNCC! Take her and youll pass for sure!

SHE'S JUST AWESOME! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN SHE'S THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR IN UNCC SHE'S GREAT! SHE'S VERY CLEAR, GOES TO THE POINT AND DOES A LOT OF EXAMPLES IN CLASS IT IS VERY EASY IF YOU PUT SOME TIME IN IT, BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN TAKE HER! GREAT TEACHER

Great class. Ms. Shaban's an awesome teacher who loves math and wants you to learn the material inside and out. Always willing to help, has a dry but very funny sense of humor that rarely comes out, but when it does, she's great. I would recommend her to anyone looking to take a math class.

She gets faster as the semester goes along, and less clear. She assigns a lot of homework and webwork, but gives you extra points for it. She is lenient and very understanding. She wants you to succeed. She started taking attendance for extra credit during the 2nd half of the semester. A slight accent but pretty easy to understand.

the best diff eqs teacher!

Very very nice Professor. She is very willing to help and offers a bunch of extra credit on your test. If you take her, you'll find caclus is very easy to understand. Strongly recommanded.

she is very helpful, tries her best to make you understand the material. forces you to practice, and she is the one you need if you really want to learn math.

Wafaa is a great teacher. She forces you to memorize and understand everything. She doesn't require homework usually but webwork is a must. Her test are fair. She is kinda quiet so sit near the front. Shes funny too when people are being retarted.

Very nice teacher, funny if you listen. Never dreaded going to class. Very helpful and very fair, and test aren't impossible. Would take again and work schedule areound for her.

Great teacher! goes great length to help students, like extend due dates. Tests are easy, exactly like examples she gives in class. Do the work and its an easy A.

This is the easiest A you will ever get in your life. The people that say she is not helpful and she is hard are on crack, and probably are the slackers who deserve to fail. Seriously she is the best!

Very Helpfull, One of the best math teachers. Offers lots of extra credit. Highly reccomended

Likes to give a lot of busy work but super helpful. Tons of office hours and VERY flexible with due dates. CALC II is not a fun topic but she is very nice and extremely willing to help everyone get a good grade.

she's great. yeah she gives a ton of work (book work, calc projects, and webwork) but its worth it at the end. she really wants ppl to do great. she's always available during office hours and helpful. in class she goes fast, but its not her fault and she'll skip steps. tests are curved 10 points. ask her questions to possibly avoid quizes

She is a really nice and great professor. I had her for both Calc 1 and Calc 2 and i enjoyed the class. The lectures are clear and much usefull, she explains stuff well and has really flexible office hours and many study sessions for the final.She gives a lot of work but it will only benefit you if you do it.

I took this class in the summer, and she moved extremely fast and gives a ton of homework, sometimes to be turned in the very next day. The material itself is not difficult for the most part, but it takes a lot of time to work though everything. Tests and quizzes were somewhat easier than the homework.

When I first when I took her class it was difficult to understand her with her accent. But you get used to it and start learning. I wouldn't say I got everything she taught down pat, because she just went too fast. She gives a lot of homework so be prepared. But the good thing is sometimes she forgets to take it up but overall shes great with math.

she is good and does her best to expalain. as long as u show proof of hard work, she will help you make good grades

Good teacher. She goes through material fast but as long as you do the homework and keep up with it, you'll do fine. She's done teaching new material with about 2 weeks left in the semester and uses that to study for the final in class, which helped out A LOT! She does lots of problems in class and always helps students out!

I took her calc I class and amd taking her for calc II. Very good teacher. She moves quickly during class, but is willing to spend hours helping you outside of class. Many other professors in the UNCC math department do not speak English well, but she is a safe choice.

There will be a ton of homework, and what everyone else says is true as well. She moves fast, but will spend a lot of time with you outside of class. She has been the most lenient teacher when it comes to graded that I've had since I've been at UNCC. She cares most about the student understanding the material.

She explained the subject in very clear terms and is focused on students understanding. Very nice and helpful. Highly recommended.

Very good teacher, makes topics very clean and easily understood. Attendance is Mandatory and part of your grade. Expect a LOT of HW. Sometimes it would take hours to complete.

Good teacher. Expect a TON of homework/quizzes/webwork. Really cares about students. Extremely helpful outside of class. One of best professors i've had at U of Charlotte.

I have mixed feelings about her. She is very helpful, and gives you more than a few opportunities to gain extra credit. She is a very nice woman, but I found her teaching of Calculus very hard to follow. Attendance is mandatory, you will lose points after 3 absences. Homework/Quiz heavy, Textbook sucks!

She is extremely helpful, and very fair. Often times it feels like she knows the material so well that she forgets that we don't and goes way too fast, but more than makes up for it in review sessions, extra credit, etc.

I'm a lazy student forced to do all her work, and it was actually gratifying. She is very helpful and her main priority is that the student learns the material for his/her own good. One of the best prof's that I have had at UNCC.

As far as math goes, calculus is by far the hardest class. But Ms. S makes it seem like a cake walk. And after her explanations, it's pretty comprehensible. Which is nice. ^^ Props to Shaban for a great semester.

Great teacher. She always checks to see if we understood stuff. Lots of webwork and homework, but doesn't always collect the homework. She does take attendance. I would take her class again.

Dr. Shaban, is very knowledgable and also a good teacher. She takes the trouble to make sure everyone understands. Great Professor!

She knows that Calculus 2 is a hard subject for most students and she's willing to give the extra effort to get her students to understand the material. Expect lots of homework and many are due within 2 days. Her exams are very easy if you do the homework and go over her review. Overall, she's better than most math professor/instructor at UNCC.

She is the best instructor in UNCC!

very helpful

Awesome professor, very clear, and helpful. Always willing to stay after and assist if necessary. She assigns a lot of homework but if you do all of it, you will have no problem understanding the material. she also hands out a practice exam prior to taking an exam, the actual exam is basically the same thing with different numbers.

Took her for both 1242 and 2164 (during summer). I would strongly recommend this professor, she explains things thoroughly and encourages questions! She is very lenient on homework due dates, and the tests follow the exact format of the study guides. She must teach fast because the math curriculum requires her to, but she will help you.

Great professor! Explains problems step by step and will answer any questions. Does give a lot of homework, but the material is difficult and practice is crucial to your success

If you take Calculus II with Shaban, you will ace the class if you are a hard worker. The exams are identical to the practice exams, but with different numbers. She will reopen Webwork as long as you don't abuse the requests. She likes to sound strict and scary, but she is actually nice and concerned about her students.

Although you have to work hard in her class to get an A or B, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure you get there. Lots of webwork and 4 test throughout the semester, but as long as you have the book and do the practice tests and webwork, you'll be good.

Had to warm up to her at first, but the further along I got in the semester the more I enjoyed her as a teacher. She is a very good teacher and is pretty funny as a matter of fact. The class is a ton of work, but all of it's necessary to understand the material. So definitely go to class every time, and if you need help will gladly assist you.

She was hard to understand at first but if you can get past that she is one hell of a Calc teacher and I can say I learned alot in her class.

Awesome. She is a really good teacher and person in general. Actuarial science students, she will push you hard but she will help you pass and you will love her!

She is very excited about the subject and humorous. A lot of work is required but it pays off in on the tests. Final will replace a test grade. You get back what you put into it.

She's very very helpful! Work hard and do what your supposed to do and you'll do very well! I wish I could take my Calc 3 class with her!

Dr. Shaban is one of the BEST professors in the math dept. I've taken 4 classes with her and she is great! You must know though, that she has extremely high expectations for her students. Particularly actuarial, so don't expect to just breeze through her classes. She gives a lot of work but she is always helpful and extremely thorough. Love her!

Dr. Shaban is one of the most enthusiastic professors that I have ever had. If you are an Actuarial student, you are in good hands. She uses the Society of Actuaries approved study manual as the text, which is extremely helpful. She will push you, but she wants you to do well. Go to class, study, and she will ensure that you make a good grade.

overall not bad, tests can be somewhat difficult though.

Dr. Shaban is absolutely interested in her students' success. She will literally bend over backwards to help you succeed if you put in the effort. One of the best in the department.

She cares about students and making sure they get a good grade and learn the material! Always willing to help! Always willing to answer questions! I love taking her classes!

She is one of the best professors I've ever had. She genuinely cares about her students' success and is willing to extend WebWorK and is very lenient on due dates as long as you show effort. Her methods are clear, and tests are like the practice. Expect a lot, a lot of homework. She's sort of like a mum, she makes you want to do well!

If you study the book carefully you can easily get an A. All test problems come directly from book. The instruction method is a waste of time. She just goes over textbook problems, which have solutions in the book. If you are good at teaching yourself, you can just sit in the back and study the book.

She will show you the way you just have to do the work. If you want an education, take her, if you want to be pushed, take her, if you want to be successful, take her. I love this lady for being a master motivator, a caring professor and for being unlike all the rest.

Great teacher, you will like her, if you complete your assignments you will pass the class but she gives a lot of assignments. Stick with the class, it gets easier

My favorite teacher. She cares about her students and will do anything to help you succeed. She gives a lot of homework, but she always post solutions, sometimes before it is even due. She accepts late work. No trick questions on test they are the same questions that come from homework/sample test. Gives extra credit on test. Can be funny as well.

In my opinion she is the best professor at UNCC! She cares about all her students, is always willing to stay after and help, and her tests contain the same problems as the sample tests. As long as you go to class, pay attention, and study you should be fine. I came out with an A+ in the course and plan to take many more of her classes. :)

I love her! She is by far the best professor! Dr. Shaban genuinely wants to make sure that all of her students understand the material. She offers EC, extended office hours, and reopening missed WeBWorKs. She is very sweet and treats her students with respect. She made Calc II easy to understand for everyone. Take her!

Dr. Shaban is seriously awesome. She puts her own notes and examples on Moodle. If you start out on a bad foot, she gives you many opportunities for recovery. She spends so much time helping everyone, it makes me wonder how she has any time for her own life. Yet through it all, she maintains a great sense of humor and passion for teaching.

Dr. Shaban was fantastic! She doesnt grade by averages, rather she grades on what she thinks you deserve so if you bomb a test or if you show improvement in tests and do all the homework she will usually give you a good grade. She is also always available and really lenient with the due dates for things. I highly recommend her for any class!

Great teacher! Has a bit of an accent, but makes up for that with everything she does. Lecture notes are posted online, so reviewing them is easy. Offers extra credit and is wiling to work with students. Would love to take a class with her again!

Simply put this is one of the very best math professors at UNCC. She is very helpful, and will take time to explain things if asked. If you participate in class and do all webwork plus a lil studying. I find it hard to imagine anyone getting less than a B in this course. She is that good.

Great teacher and easy to understand. Makes everything easy to understand and breaks things into parts. Gives you extensions on almost all of the work. Let you do test corrections for every test lower than a B. Wish she taught all of the classes I need.

Shaban is the best calc professor in the school short of John Taylor. I fully recommend taking her. If you miss a homework she will always extend it. She is also very generous with the extra credit.

If Taylor is full take Her MWF, or if you know the stuff, she is lenient with tech. Bit of accent, only 2 free absences instead of 3, knows her stuff, not just borrowing Taylors notes.

She really helped out a lot. She set a lot of time to help the students as well. Held study sessions, gave a great amount of homework which helped the overall grade, and even reopened the homework past deadlines so you could finish them or get a better grade on them.

I think the Dr. Shaban is a very great professor to take. If you show up in class and take notes and really try to understand the material everything should be easy and straight forward.

Dr. Shaban is an awesome, super nice lady. She truly enjoys math and is a wonderful teacher. I think she pushes her students to be successful. She does require effortwork from her students to get them to learn the material. Its worth it. You cant go wrong taking her. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her after taking her class.

Great Professor, very humorous. You can get an A, but practice is required, not necessarily difficult. She is always willing to help.

She is an amazing teacher. She loves to help. Answers all questions and gives plenty of homework to understand material. Doesn't grade the homework too hard

I took Dr. Shaban's class as a visiting student in the summer. While the material itself wasn't difficult, Dr. Shaban made it even easier to understand through her lectures. She was extremely funny and very kind. I'd take her again in a heartbeat.

Dr. Shaban is one of the most amazing instructors and mentors I've ever had. She is universally loved and adored by the students who are on the actuarial track. The class isn't easy, but she does her best to prepare you and will always offer additional support to whoever needs it.

Wafaa Shaban is very helpful in her office hours, although her lectures are just practice problems. She's extremely nice and often extends deadlines. Study hard for the tests, she does test corrections but only for 2 or 3 points total. Lots and lots of web work, but she has webwork hints that are extremely useful. Wish I could have her again

Not sure I could take her again unless absolutely necessary. The book helped me out a lot in passing her class. In my opinion she gave way too much hw (3 or 4 due a week) on top of almost daily quizzes. A little much if you ask me, especially if you are taking other time consuming classes and are working on the side. Going to class is a must.

Her class was one of my favorite classes I ever took. She made it interesting and truly cared. I wish I had more teachers like her.

Shaban is hands down the best teacher I have ever had. Any subject or topic, if she explains it, it makes sense. Put in the work and she will do everything she can to help you too.

Shaban is one of the best professors I have had, so far. She is great at explaining the course material. She is always happy to explain something during lecture if you do not understand. I am taking Actuarial Science with her this semester too. She is one of the best.

The class is difficult but dr shaban is one of the best professors at uncc.

Loved her class. A lot of people didn't because she gave a short quiz everyday but she gave us the exact questions to study. Liked her a lot

Shaban is an AWESOME professor. She's super good at explaining concepts and will always take time to help you with whatever you need. The Webwork is going to be your best practice for the tests because the problems will be very similar. Even though it's massive, the book was nice to have on hand. Fair grader as well.

A professor that truly wants her students to exceed. Will reopen closed homework assignments if you didnt get them done on time so that you can improve your grade. Always told before having a quiz. Very accessible outside of class. Tons of network connections in the actuarial science field and will give help in finding a job after graduation.

Dr. Shaban is really one of the best professors I've had at UNCC. She really cares about her students and takes the time to make sure everyone understands the material and does well in her classes. Definitely recommend taking a class with her!

Initially I did not like her as she does not go over the guided notes in class and only does practice problems(this could be a deal breaker for you). my opinon quickly changed when i realized she is a very forgiving grader on exams and gives lots of partial credit if your answer is slightly off(forgot to carry a constant for example). good coms too

Fantastic lecture videos. Goes over topics concisely and provides practice example videos. Homework was usually more difficult than the exams. 10 questions each chapter section, graded on 8/10 so you had some leeway with mistakes and 10/10 gave extra credit. Overall, Dr. Shaban is very forgiving and understanding, I highly recommend.

She is very knowledgeable about her field. I would say complete your homework on time but if you cannot for some reason then you can ask her for some time, she's very accommodating. She gives a few extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Attend the lectures cuz they're very helpful.

Calc2: Its a hard class and don't take her class if you expected an easy way out, she's amazing because of her lectures and how fair she is. Clear deadlines and take advantage of her office hours. It's a challenging class but believe it or not her best interest is to see her students succeed. Very fair and kind, ask her questions if needed!

Best teacher for those who can self-study. Very generous curves on tests, can give great help when asked. The in-class lectures were a but dull, but that's to be expected given the subject. Overall, would recommend.
