Reviews of professor Sofiane Bourouaine

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Gives very little homework (only one or two through the semester). Gives quizzes every couple weeks to check progress and will redo all quiz problems in class. The tests are always easier then the quizzes as they cover more material so he dumbs it down a little. If you are struggling during a test you can ask for help he he will give hints to all

He gives quizzes (notice in advance) almost every other week - only one problem but he gives partial credit and if the students really don't want quiz he won't give it. If most of the students did not do well on the quiz, he will either not count it or make it hw. 2 tests that are straight problems from class -final is not cumulative (like test 3)

Very knowledgeable and communicates effectively with students to adjust the course as needed to ensure learning is done in an efficient and reasonable manner. Encourages questions and breaks down the math to real world physical applications. Using homework as the skeleton for exams helped A LOT with stress and learning outside the lectures.

Extremely easy-to-follow lecture. Consistently listens to student feedback. Provides fair but challenging exams.

Prime example of subpar! Horrible handwriting makes note taking difficult. Repeatedly emphasizes how "easy" everything is, and gets frustrated when you ask him to clarify a concept. Weekly quizzes mean you'll end up cramming things in order to pass rather than actually to learn it. Taught myself, got an A, but I would advise against taking him

Spends all class working out one problem, which he doesn't even finish all the way through. Examples are always littered with mistakes. Talks down to students and never admits when he's doing a poor job explaining things. Quizzes and exams weren't too bad at first, but the final is hard, and even when class averages are poor, he doesn't curve...
