Reviews of professor Mohamed El-Sayed

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I've been a straight A student and this was my first C. This is by far the worst professor I've ever had. Doesn't teach and expects you to know everything. Stay away!

I feel like he barely cares about anything. He is really educated in chemistry but does not explain things well. If you have a question he does not answer nicely and does not respond to emails. You have to teach yourself and everything is very confusing and you get lost really easily.

He wants his students to succeed, and gives you many chances to ask for help. However, he has a very strong accent that is difficult to understand, which can make it very hard to grasp the material during lectures. Lectures are always available online and he never tests you on anything outside those power points. Attendance not necessary to pass.

He was a pretty good prof. but can barely understand him. He has a super strong accent. The lectures are boring, he gives you the notes at the beginning of the week and doesn't go over anything else so you don't miss anything if you skip. He words things super different on the exams so they are pretty difficult.

He definitely wants you to strive in his class. He is always wanting you to ask questions if you are confused, and he gives you many opportunities to do so. From personal experience asking him questions HELPS A LOT. He is not a professor that is trying to make it deliberately hard on you. If you skip his classes you will NOT do very well.

I had this course fully online due to covid and even though I only learned through lecture videos, he was super quick to answer emails and truly wants his students to succeed. He is super nice and the curriculum of his course seemed to move much slower than other CHM109 classes.

When you ask for help he says the same thing over and over and students are never right.
