Reviews of professor Elhadji Gaye

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mr g was a good teacher, everyday is a new section in the book and there is a homework assignment along with every section. he is very accessible outside of class and in the math lab. must have clear notes to pass. he does not offer extra credit but will drop the lowest quiz score!

Don't take this class, but... This professor does not help you at all. You don't use the book. Your homework helps you understand the material but is only worth 15% of your grade. Exams include things that you haven't been taught. MAKE A STUDY GROUP! I made a group halfway thru and it is the only way I made it. This is the only help you'll get.

Worst class I have ever taken. Surprised SRJC allows him to teach on their campus. He's hard to understand throughout his lectures. Videos he supplied us with with are outdated. Exams proctored and take up a lot of your grade. Practice exams not helpful at all. No extra credit. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from the stress this class gives.

I took Dr. Gayes night class last semester. He seems like a friendly guy. His English ability was also pretty solid, especially since English is not his native tongue. His class was alright. Homework was done online. Tests and quizzes were taken in class and were only kind of difficult. He really wanted us to succeed. Wakanda Forever.

I took both sequences of calculus with Mr. Gaye before COVID-19, and they were both enjoyable (relatively speaking since it is a math class). His homework all came from Web Assign and it all came from the textbook. The quizzes asked the same questions as the homework. Tests were pretty darn hard, but I always tried fighting for extra points.

Extremely accommodating. For exams, you get a full pg of notes (2-sided for the final) plus the cheat sheets he gives the class. The textbooks are opt. For lectures we just watch Prof Leonard on Utube so he turned class time into office hours. Hmwk is graded but through Knewton Alta, so the only way you get less than an A is if it's late.

This semester of calculus was harder than last semester, but I was still able to understand the material well thanks to Prof Gaye. If you dont understand something, just go to office hours. He will help you for as long as you need. I would not recommend any other math professor as highly as Gaye, and I have taken many math classes at the SRJC!

SUPER generous grader. Tests & HW on Knewt Alta, proctored, w/1 attempt. You upload scratch paper which he'll look at and sometimes give you credit even if Knewt Alt doesn't. The HW usually (NOT always) lined up w/lectures so there was a lot of self-teaching. Fine for me but not for everyone. Had lots of office hours so you could ask him questions
