Reviews of professor Omar El Khatib

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Omar is super helpful and his class was formatted in the best possible way to get an introduction to programming. He is super forgiving with late work and the classroom environment itself makes it really easy to ask questions and stop to assess if you understand the information. Overall: low-stress but very beneficial.

THE BEST COMPUTER SCIENCE PROFESSOR AT LOYOLA. Take him!! he is a very caring person, and you are actually going to learn in this class. He is inspirational and would help you understand the hardest concepts.

He's literally the best. Very accessible, caring, thorough, and takes time to explain things. I took Intro to CS I where I had to do this web course which was very annoying and long, but other than that projects were fairly easy and very clear. Be careful tho, if you take him, you will be tempted to switch your major to CompSci... he is that good.

Had him for many classes. Dr. Omar is willing to help you with your assignments and is very invested in making sure you understand the material. He's very approachable and does everything he can to explain a concept in different ways if you tell him you don't understand. He has a lot of assignments but isn't strict with deadlines. He's the best.

Dr. El Khatib is an amazing teacher! He is quick to answer questions and if anything isn't clicking, then he'll take the time to draw out a concept on the white board. Of all the professors I've taken at Loyola, Dr. El Khatib's classes were the most comprehensive and useful.
