Reviews of professor Rachid Skouta

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Skouta was absolutely amazing. His lectures are easy to understand and the way he explains concepts thoroughly. He is caring and I find him absolutely hilarious. You can tell he wants you to do well in his class. As long as you do the owls and practice the concepts in class, you will do great. Loved him!! Sad he doesn't teach 262:///. 100/10

This class was very nice compared to other stem classes I've been in. Skouta is very kind and willing to really go over material and do practice problems in lecture until there's a general understanding. There is work but not to an insane degree. He's also very approachable and you can genuinely tell he wants his students to do well.

Sweet guy. Although the content is difficult, he slows it down to make sure everyone understands. Encourages questions and will not continue lecturing until all are answered. Gives lots of extra credit. He is easy to meet with outside of class and genuinely wants to help. But review sessions are held w/ the TA, so if you get a bad one... good luck

Skouta's exams were directly like practice questions + exams which made them doable and predictable. We had a generous amount of hw assignments but he dropped iClickers and Owls at the end of the semester. He was also generally really nice and approachable. Definitely recommend if you're scared of taking orgo, he makes it a lot easier.

Skouta is amazing. He's such a nice guy, great sense of humor, and actually made orgo easy... his PRACTICE EXAMS were key! Offered extra credit at the end of the semester, exams were not bad at all. Not much homework & all is very doable. 10/10 recommend him, would def take a class with him again, I wish he taught orgo 2!!

Hes probably the best professor Ive taken so far. I had him during the pandemic and he understood how hard it is for us to focus during tough times. Allowed us to meditate and gave extra credit (: his practice exams are exactly like the actual exam. So if you understand that then youre fine

He really tries his best to make us laugh during lecture. he has us take deep breathes before every class too which is nice. hes also inspirational and truly wants us to succeed. the class is hard in general and the homeoworks can be a bit much too but go to SI and youll be good. He also gives us practice exams before each exams which are very nice

He's an awesome professor and really cares about his students. Pay close attention to his OWLS and you will get all As. Participation in class is mandatory but it helps during exam times.

Really fun and nice guy. He goes fast but there is a lot of information to cover in this class. You need to buy OwlV2 to do homework in this class but the homework questions are exactly like exam questions. He is very approachable and really wants to have a connection with the students and help them with any questions they have.
