Reviews of professor Hussain Taha Ibdah

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Super nice guy, likes to make jokes and always asks people if they need further explanation. That being said, his explanations are, more often than not, very difficult to understand and advanced for someone without a calculus background. Not much workload, just difficult content with no multiple choice questions on tests/quizzes. Tutoring useful.

Even with a background in Calculus, I don't recommend this prof. He stops a lot and asks if we understand but there is no point in asking questions because his response will only confuse you more than you were before. He complicates simple concepts, did not adapt to distance learning well and is not personable. No extra credit.

Hussain is a really nice guy who really cares if you understand or not. He will always stop and make sure you get it. Tests are really difficult because they are only 8-9 free-response questions. Homework and quizzes are super easy but only 10% each. Tough class if you did not take calc in high school.

He is a really nice guy and he's trying, however, if you did not take calculus in high school DO NOT TAKE HIM. Tests are extremely hard, only about 9-12 questions and no multiple choice. Lots of quizzes and pop quizzes. Homework is online and sometimes there is a lot. Go to tutoring and week in reviews from other profs.

Though Hussain is a really nice guy overall, meaning he always stops and asks if everyone understands, he is ultimately not very good at conveying the concepts in a manner that average students can understand. I say this, and please take note that if you have not taken calculus (not precal, it won't help) before, do NOT take Hussain Ibdah.

He really tried his best and wanted all of his students to succeed, but he was an ineffective lecturer. The tests and quizzes are exactly like the homework, so that was nice. He posted all of his completed notes on his website which was helpful if you missed a class. Overall, he was nice and supportive, but did not know how to teach.

DO NOT TAKE this class if you dont have a calculus background. His explanations were extremely hard to follow and made no sense. He moves extremely fast and it is easy to fall behind. Exams are difficult and there are weekly quizzes, along with a few pop quizzes. He is very accessible, but I would not recommend taking his class to anyone.

His lectures were convoluted, his explanations were overly confusing and he seemed to make no point at the end of them. His test reviews hardly go over the material actually on the test, which makes literally no sense??? Do not take if you haven't taken calculus in high school.
