Reviews of professor Sirag Mahmood

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Quizzes weekly, based on class examples, and two midterms and a final, also homework. Very well spoken, he will take his time to explain any concept you dont understand, even if the answer is seemingly obvious. He tells you what is most likely on the exams, so listen. Overall, nice professor, just do your work and you will be fine.

Not saying all the other reviews are completely bogus, however he is definitely not a bad professor. He tries hes best explaining and also goes through practice problems in class and post them partial notes online. Also, accessible outside class and is very kind person. However, the class is not easy and he will make you work for it, not an easy A

The professor would go through great lengths to prevent cheating than to actually teach. His lectures were not very helpful. Same information youd get from reading the textbook which isnt really helpful. Please if you wanna learn and do well take another Professor :/

This course isn't hard, but he makes it more complicated then it should be. He speaks too softly and his lectures don't help, so you will end up learning everything on your own. He makes quizzes to help your grade, but he's also paranoid about cheating on quizzes and commons. His class is added stress, whatever you can do take a better professor.

Really surprised at low rating, Mahmood's a really good professor. Explains lectures well and gives tons of examples. A lot of quizzes but are easy to pass with minimal studying. Common Exams are bad, but the math dept in general is the worst. Incredibly empathetic with a life/school conflict I had and did everything in his power to help.

First time doing calculus in six years, this was NOT the right professor to ease back into it. Test problems were significantly more complex than class problems. The hassle of online class made it more stressful. Learned more from youtube than him. Good person, mediocre professor who assigns difficult tests and is a tough grader.

If I could rate below an awful I would. Professor is an absolute tyrant! You are nothing but a number, when it comes to students concerns he is heartless, & makes you feel stupid for asking questions in class. Choose him as a last resort and even at that, it might be better to just wait until you have better options. His RMP score says enough.

He writes lots of formulas/definitions on the board and reads it back to the class, offering not much insight into what it really means. Takes too long with the attendance, is almost too strict when it comes to cheating, and is picky about rounding when grading quizzes. Hopefully you've taken AP Stat in high school or you will have a rough time.

The negative reviews are absolutely wrong. He's a good professor because he goes over many practice problems and he puts a lot of effort in his lectures.
