Reviews of professor Mohamed Mahgoub

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mahgoub is a little strict on grading but he will tell you everything you need to put for credit. There are quizzes at the end of every class but its usually modeled after a question done in class. On both midterms and the final you are allowed a formula sheet. Overall he cares a lot about the students and is always willing to help if you ask.

Dr. Mahgoub is a good teacher who makes his class straightforward: there is a lot of work and he assigns quizzes at the end of every class but he makes himself available outside of class. For each exam, he essentially tells you everything you need to know beforehand to prepare. He seems intimidating but truly does care for his students.

the exams and quizzes are very fair (he even tells you how to do some of them) but this class was extremely annoying. He writes so small on the board you can't even decipher it from the first row. Homeworks are far more advanced than what was taught in class, and he will constantly accuse the class of cheating on them. Canvas is not used for grades

One of the best professors. Gives examples mostly from the book, as well as writing his own methods to make solving problems easier. Participation matters as he orally quizzes you at the end of almost every class.

Engineering Economy was an excellent experience with Mahgoub. Gives weekly quizzes and is willing to help students struggling on those by clueing them on how to solve problems. Allows the use of a formula sheet on midterms. However, a minimum grade of around 49%-50% on the final is needed to pass the course, regardless of other assignment grades.

This professor is very lecture heavy and writes very small on the board. If you do not sit in the first row the class becomes 10x more difficult. Besides that, Mahgoub is a fair - patient - and articulate professor. He is able to clearly explain complicated material and will take the time to assure a concept is understood if asked.

2 midterms and a final, takes the highest of the 2 midterms and allows a cheat sheet for each. Gives a quiz at the end of every class and a homework assignment. Will straight up tell you what is going to be on the tests. If there are 2 classes, take the later one since he only changes the tests a little so you can ask someone what is on it.
