The worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are boring and hard to follow. Terrible at explaining things. Avoid him at all costs.

Dr. Mahmoud is a nice guy. Though, I felt lost throughout most of this course. As others have noted, lectures can be boring or unclear. Canvas is disorganized. Class is overly disruptive and loud. However, some positives were that he provides sample midterms/finals to study from, which sometimes have questions resembling the real thing.

Dr. Mahmoud is a kind and caring professor. His lectures can be boring and the topics can be difficult, but if you email him he will happily meet with you outside of class and help you go over topics. He is genuinely passionate about economics and his students.

he's a fine person but definitely a yapper when he lectures.  focus on the textbook and the clicker questions to get a good idea of the midterm and final because they are worth the most.

He's a yapper, but a nice guy. Compared to other profs in econ, he's probably the least difficult exam wise. You probably won't understand a thing he says or you might even fall asleep. Just save yourself and read the textbook and do practice problems. On exams, you'll see familiar questions taken from the tutorial, clickers, homework.

Did for CAP, prof cares, happy to help you, felt beneficial for poli/ir, but class skipped units like externalities due to timing sadly. My advice: focus on MyLab (>=reading)---the modules/refreshers more than prepare you. Staying one unit ahead here helps with iClicker too. Econ dept policy on curving down at the end can be brutal so aim high :)

Take this class if you hate yourself. If you don't need econ for your major just don't bother with this. The final is worth 50%

IClickers were used in class, so attendance is heavily recommended. As long as the Pearson Study Guide is used, you will ace the midterm and final. He makes questions of his own, but most are used from tutorials and past exams. His questions are fair, but some have really bad wording, which makes it hard to understand. His slides are very efficient
