Reviews of professor Osama Fakron

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great professor for 1225 if you put in the work as he advises you to. He had review sessions on weekends and will always make sure to give a good understanding of the topics. He makes sure you are graded properly on tests and has a lenient homework/quiz policy. If you have the chance to have him, TAKE HIM. If you put in the work you will do fine.

Only took Pre-Calc before this class. BAD IDEA!! DO NOT DO IT!!!! Super hard and do not know what is going on. Super sweet guy, you just won't be able to understand him.

I believe I should have the disclaimer that Mr. Fakron is not a great teacher, but he is a great person overall and he is the BEST professor you will receive with entry level engineering Math courses at Virginia Tech. Mr. Fakron is very empathetic and genuinely wants all his students to succeed. If you are struggling, reach out to him.

Professor Fakron was not my first choice going in. Infact, I requested to transfer out of his class, but I got denied. I am really happy I was stuck in his class because he is an amazing guy. He is not going to be the best lecturer, but once you get past his acent he isn't too hard to understand. Lastly, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS.

I would recommend taking him ONLY if you have taken AP Calc AB in high school and did well. He is not the best at explaining new concepts so you need some background info to do well in his class. Aside from this, he is a very nice and genuine guy who wants to see his students succeed. We only had 4 written HW assignments the whole semester.

Difficult to understand at first. I had Mr. Fakron for calc 1 at vt and if I hadn't already taken AP calc AB and BC in high school, I probably would have been lost. He means well but his lessons aren't as helpful as they could be. If you get points marked off on a test, you can argue them back. He'll bump you up from a B- to a B @ the end if needed
