Very good prof, but his teaching style is the old style.
Horrible
Difficulty transmitting his knowledge to the students.
Didn't understand him but he is quite funny... and he tries

Try to avoid if possible. If you are in the French section, however, you won't have the choice. His French is horrible and is very difficult to understand. If you have him in GNG 1100/1500, buy both book and CD. The CD is only in English. Also, if you ask him a question he will always answer aside.
The worst prof i've ever had. If you get the chance to take the same course with a different teacher, take it! Believe me, you won't regret it. This teacher can't even speak english or french properly! And do yourself a favor, don't buy the CD-rom, buy the book!

Put a monkey instead he'll do a better job ! BURN the CD don't buy it !!!
Alright, he cant speak french, he cant speak english. Big problem here. Dont buy the cd, dont even burn it! no worth to lost a blank cd. Buy the book.
A monley would be better !
He is kind ,but when it come to teaching.It's better not to teach.He depends on hi TAs and all of them were means.Never Take his class.

He couldn't speak english or french.. we didnt understand a thing.. We had to go to a class taught by other teachers... go to the DGDs they help a little. He was quite severe on final exam, 1 small mistake = 0 for the whole problem. I almost failed though i payed attention, went to all clases, most dgds, and read the book...
How the $"@% did this guy get a PHD and get hired as a teacher? Geez... Worst teacher/prof I've ever seen. He's incomprehensible, half deaf and very absent minded. He'll always answer your questions aside. Plus, he talks to the blackboard and has a terrbible accent, making it impossible to follow him. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!! I'm not joking!
avoid this prof at all costs...he cant speak english or french and hardly remembers what he just said 5 mins ago. At least go to one class and sit in the front row to get a good look at his hair!!!
absolutely the worst prof ever!! avoids answering your quesitons and is totally unorganized. Avoid taking appointments in his office - you will not gain anything. If it wasn't for the TA's most ppl would fail!
I felt obliged to say this since I think it gives you an idea about taking a course with this prof . The overall average for the class at the end of the semester was 3/10! I personally did ok but dear lord he killed soooo many people that its sad.
By far the worst prof ever. Avoid this prof at all times and avoid getting suckered into buying his "CD" for the replacement of the textbook. His first few classes will be him trying to sell this S*$% which is in fact complete copy of Popov's textbook.
I got stuck with this prof will try not to be in this situation again!!!! hes terrible learn on your own and you can pass this course.
FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, AVOID HIM!!
I don't know what all these other people are talking about! He's a really fun guy that explains the concepts extensively until you understand everything. His TAs were very friendly and helpful. The only thing is, he is not always available outside of class hours.
OMG!!! Incomprehensible! The class average was 3.2....that should explain it all...avoid him at all cost!!!!!!!!! Go to carleton to take the equivalent course instead of taking a course with this guy!
Never answers emails, very obscure lectures, hard to understand his accent, isn't logical with his explanations, isn't willing to take time to listen to you or teach you what you need to learn until you understand it, always in a rush and students are his lowest priority. I wish I knew this website before i took that class with him in the winter.
unbelievable... i have never had a prof who is this lazy and utterly unintelligent. He finished talking to us about chapter 11(aka putting pages from the textbook on the overhead). Immediately after he covered the material, someone asked if ch.11 was on the midterm exam. He said "What is chapter 11, what, huh, chapter 11" then he changed the topic.
Avoid his class at all costs! gross and useless prof!
Avoid at all cost. Buy the book. Don't even attend classes, just learn things on your own. Consult your TA's because they can explain better than he can and are nicer. He didn't want to answer any questions in the midterm exam and instructed his TA's not to do it either. Choose Hallett over him, at least with Hallett you will learn something.
Worst professor I've ever had the misfortune of having. Refused to wear his microphone in a class with ~100 students so the ones in the middle and back had a hard time understanding him - and he mumbles! Goes class unprepared with french overheads (but the section is English). He'd always ask if we had questions, and when we did he'd call us dumb.
In the final exam he gave us things that he didn't explain. Moreover, in the last class he gave us 2 whole units!!
Worst prof i had in my career. Useless and doesnt know how to teach... Very selfish and doesnt care about students!
I got a good mark in this class, but its from studying on my own and not listening to a single thing this guy said. Learn on your own, don't go to class or simply avoid this prof!
Avoid him!! Does teach what he's suppose to teach and his classes are a waste of time.. Dont bother going to his class cuz he will talk about other subject not related to class. He doesnt care about students and their success..
Useless...
Pire prof a vie!!! Il ne parle pas francais, ni anglais d'ailleurs. Il vous suggere d'acheter 3 livres dont le sien qui coute pres de 100 dollard!celui-ci est remplit de fautes de calculs et de francais! la seul raison daller a ses cours cest qu'il fait des quizz surprises sur la matiere que personne n'a compris! NE CHOISISSEZ PAS CE PROF!!!

enseignant pitoyable, médiocre, incompétent, ridicule, complètement désintéressé de son cours...Bref évitez tout prix de prendre un cours avec Dr. Yehia Hadda. Il ne sait pas parler français (ni anglais dailleurs)et il ne repond pas aux questions des autres. Il donne constamment des quiz sur la matière apprise le jour même
la seule chose vous devez savoir ces que ce prof vaux zero!!!!
La seule chose à retenir c'est que la sommation des compétences de ce prof = 0!
By far the dumbest teacher you'll ever have, impossible to understand what he says and he makes no sense at all with his examples, whatever you do dont take his class
Incredibly difficult to understand accent. Doesn't teach well at all, one of the worst profs I've had so far. I do not recommend this prof.
Hard to understand. His accent is really heavy and he just goes to the board and draws a bunch of forces and equations without really explaining any... Feels like I dont even have a prof. It's also very hard to stay focused.
This guy's brutal. Barely 3 weeks in to the course and he still hasn't taught anything. His course notes suck its just him on paper. Avoid this guy or risk being completely lost along with losing the credit
Completely incomprehensible. Draws and solves problems on board with little to no explanation or logical flow. I wish I didn't need this class, and could drop it.
He is hard to understand, uses vocabulary directly translated from french. The material he teaches seems more complicated than it is, he covers topics slowly and repeats material many times. Your best bet is to go to the DGD's where you will find that the material is really just stuff you covered in grade 12.
Very difficult to understand. Repeats and mixes material which leads to further confusion. Has a very hard time understanding student questions about the material, and does a worse job answering them. Technologically challenged.
I don't understand why everyone is hating on this prof... he is awesome. I have a blast every class I show up at and he is so funny :)!! his jokes make me stain my underpants.. I wouldn't of been able to make it threw my first year if it weren't for him. He is definitely the best prof I have ever had. I can only hope to have him for again.
i just found out that it cost almost 50 bucks per class. this money could go towards alot of weed and alot of booze. this guy doesnt deserve a dime
do not buy his book!!! always review correction of your final exam!
Don't ever let him teach you. If you get stuck in his class mistakenly, switch out or drop the course...
Cours vraiment pas clairs. En fait, j'ai terminé avec la plus haute moyenne de tout le groupe au terme de mes études, mais j'ai coulé ce cours. On a juste à recopier les exemples du livre, aucune compréhension de la matière n'est transmise.
We had our first class today. He tried to push his textbook to every student even though it's EXACTLY (total rip-off) the same as the book Engineering Mechanics of Solids [1990] by the knowledgable Egor P. Popov. I would suggest the latter as it's clearer, cheaper (free online...) and would not allow this greedy prof to injustly collect our money.
Despite the fact that almost every remark here is a negative one, I found him to be a pretty good teacher. I can see why some student find him unclear, but if you pay attention and make good use of the textbook, all will be fine. Nice if you get to know him.
His accent is incomprehensible, he keeps referring to his students as "My friends". He doesn't explain what is going on, I'm not even sure he has actually taught anything. When he does attempt to explain, he talks but then lowers the volume of his voice and starts to mumble. His textbook that he wrote has grammatical errors as well. Sigh.
RUN WHILE YOU CAN! seriously he makes u buy his useless book and does not post any notes online, falls asleep in class dosnt teach anything, in short jus take any other teacher and do ur self a huge favor, The course gng1105 is quite hard but maybe a better teacher could have made it a lil better
OMG! he made us buy his $ 104 book, which is filled with mistakes,(both grammar and math), you don't understand what he is saying , and is just sooo boring, you prefer to do the lectures by yourself; GO TO THE DGDs
Can't speak French. Mumbles all the time, can't explain the simplest concepts. Beats around the bush for hours and doesn't answer questions. I think I'm gonna fail this class.
just don't take the class with this professor!!doesn't speak french doesn't answer questions and to top it makes u buy the most stupid and useless book ever
I am a good student who never struggles in any course...but in his class I had a hard time understanding what was going on. He teaches only from his textbook (which is full of errors and doesn't explain things well either)and rarely gives examples to show you how to actually solve the problems. I would avoid enrolling in his class
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! GOOD LUCK WITH HIM!
How he still has a job is a mystery to me. He encourages students to ask questions and when they do he makes his best effort to embarrass them in-front of the class. He is incomprehensible and Twilight has more merit as a published book than his "textbook". I can only hope someone comes to their senses and doesn't allow him to teach another soul.
After taking his course for a full semester I've realized that every review here is 100% true. His book is useless, he is incomprehensible and he flies through the material without teaching any of it. I did not learn a single thing from this man.
WORST PROF EVER.Prof is useless,If u want to do good at the final exam study from this book:"Vector Mechanics for Engineers - Statics and Dynamics, 9th edition", the exam is very similar to the questions in the book, and the book explains well the different ways to solve problems.
He is really awful at teaching, if you know what's best for you, try to avoid him at all cost(i mean at all cost).
He just doesn't know how to tech, avoid at all cost if not, u might regret it
Lectures are useless Speaks to the Chalk Board Assignments are unrelated to lectures Can't understand him Doesn't answer questions Doesn't prepare you for qizzes, assignments, midterms or exams
WORST Professor ever!!! do not buy his "textbook", it's throwing your money in the garbage. The exams are not at all what you learned and he is useless. Rely on TA's, friends and help centers. But even that might not be enough to pass this stupid class
Not too impressed. His French text book has too many mistakes for the assignments and the material in class does not relate to the work given out. His midterms are difficult, and do not resemble any examples in the book or the assignments. He is also very terrible at answering questions asked by students. I do not recommend this professor.
If you have this prof cry yourself a river now. His book HE published is worded so poorly and that's where he gets ALL his assignments from. Half the time when talking about moments and reaction forces is him saying "counter clockwise". Avoid this prof at all costs. I'm not even kidding. You will hate him.
This prof was amazing. Best prof ever.
do not take this course with Yehia Haddad as your proff.
... no comments... worst teacher and even worst in french class...
if you have ths guy you just might as well skin yourself alive. this prof will torment you.
Terrible prof. Uses his own textbook that is of no help whatsoever and mostly completely wrong. Rarely solves anything in class and usually gets it wrong. Everything is learned from TAs
10/10 would take class again
You will notice that all the negative comments here are all TRUE. This guy is USELESS. I put 5 for the textbook use, not his textbook. To pass the class, you need to buy a good book (Beer and Johnson are the authors) and go to the DGD. Avoid at all cost!!!
Although, Haddad was not the clearest professor. The DGD's cleared up any misconceptions. The textbook had errors, but provided some good examples. However, all the questions were basically identical.If anyone is to fail this class, it is from a lack of effort, not Haddad.
This class is fairly simple. Professor Haddad makes it seem so much more challenging than it should be. Most of it is basic physics concepts. He spends most of the class rambling about nothing. Better to take it with a real professor. He has pretty hilarious jokes.
probably the worst professor at the university. He could not care less. It's a shame because it's an interesting course.
Do not take his class if you value your grade. He is incoherent for half the class and refuses to do examples. His textbook is utterly terrible as it's filled with lazily drawn diagrams and problem sets that are littered with errors. If you are forced into taking his class due to scheduling issues, do not buy his book under any circumstances.
Regarding the book that he made, the prof kinda knows what he's talking about. However, when it comes to teaching, he's not good; He sometimes gives importance to minor notions, or gives very little importance to important notions; he solves some exercices in class [not THAT much, but he solves some], but the methodology of solving is barely clear.
Very charming, but a terrible teacher.
Dr. Haddad runs the AES-ATEMA conference about the same as his classroom according to the reviews. The conferences are very small and are not all week as advertised. Overall they are not worth the time and definitely not worth the price charged, which the rumor is he owns AES. This means he is charging high prices for a low value conference and the
Worst teacher at the University.
Best prof ever. Take his class, you wont regret it! Easy, helpful, very nice... (hot)
He wrote a textbook for this course and most of the answers are wrong. I don't recommend buying the textbook.
Worst teacher I've ever had.
I don't know what did he say in the class. He write his textbook and has some mistakes in it. Don't take his class, or you'd better learn by yourself.
