Prof Uddin writes clearly on the board and does lots of examples. He also gives us problems to practice in class and goes over them. He does not like it when people talk in class and disturb others. But if you ask him questions in class he always answers them. he is very formal in class but friendly if you see him during office hours.

His heart is in the right place but he gives way more work compared to other professors. The aleks homework takes like 5 hours a week and the practice exams are way long. His lecture notes are great and he explains all the steps really well. But he needs to make the tests like the practice exams. Good guy but he needs to go easy on us!

Uddin puts his lectures in Carmen and is great at explaining problems in class. But he tries too much to turn us into "super good students" and does not understand that college students are really stressed. Making us spend 5 hours every week on Aleks homework is unacceptable. Also he should make the tests like the practice exams he puts in Carmen.

He is a terrible professor! All the homework is online & takes hours upon hours to do. Homework is 200 points, there are 5 test (80 points each), & the final is 200 points. He goes way too fast when teaching and cant answer students questions. Its either his way or the high way. Plus he called Americans stupid! Please save yourself the stress.

Dr. Uddin is a solid professor. He comes across as more formal compared to my other professors but that's because of his foreign accent. He explains everything in class really clearly puts his lecture notes on Carmen. He sometimes makes jokes and sometimes talks politics. It's hilarious how he called the Democratic party unbelievably corrupt!

Uddin is a good teacher if you get used to his style. He puts the lectures in Carmen. He sticks to those rigidly in class but he explains everything step by step. He is too smart and sometimes has difficulty understanding students. The aleks homework takes like 4 hours every week. His test reviews are much longer and harder than the actual tests.

Whoever says he's easy, he isn't. He doesn't care about your grade or if you learned the material, he just cares about getting through the lectures. He seems nice but if you ask questions, he like gets mad. If you aren't good at math, don't take this class, you will struggle. Tests are hard and review guide is nothing like the tests.

If you don't have a PhD in math, don't take Uddin's class. He is mentally incapable of explaining things on a normal level. Very textbook answers which leave you still wondering about your question.

As a professor, he is very good! One of the best math instructors I've ever had. He genuinely wants you to understand the material. However, he does have a little bit of an attitude if a student does not understand the material and he gets frustrated easily. Overall, he is a great person and professor.

If you are looking for a Math1148 course, I do not recommend Professor Uddin.

One of the worst teachers at osu. Basically have to learn math on your own and he gets upset/frustrated when you go to him for help if you don't understand something.
