Reviews of professor Sebastian Ahmed-Garay

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I def recommend you take with Prof. Sebastian. Here's what to expect from this course: 5 exams and 1 final/ 5 assignments/ plenty of extra credit opportunities. Ch7 is challenging but is fun & doable. Due to the online transition, 2 exams we conducted on HawkesLearning (not the most ideal but it's fine). Stick around for office hrs after class.

Sebastian is one of the best people and teachers ever. He showed up for so many additional office hours for those of us in applied calc 2. If you put in effort, he will meet you half way to make sure you understand and get the grade that you deserve as a result of hard work. He is also hilarious. His courses made me consider becoming a math major.

This was the first time I have laughed in a math class, He makes the class fun and walks through the lectures and addresses any questions right away, it was weird to take a math class online especially as a freshman going into college but he made it a lot easier, would highly recommend taking this class, only two chapters were sort of difficult.

I just got a part time job and it had some conflicts with the testing dates. He was so flexible and understanding. He changed the testing dates and amount of proctored exams because a lot of other students needed a flexible schedule too. He tries his absolute best in each lecture and really cares about his students' learning and how they are doing.

I really enjoyed this online course. I would rate 6/5 stars. Its actually not that hard to get an A if you put your mind into it. This is the second math class I have ever enjoyed in my life.

Yes, you have 1wk to go over the lectures & are quizzed every week, you can fall behind if you do not go over the lectures, the in person classes are mandatory but it gives additional help in case you don't understand topics. Overall, if YOU procrastinate, you will have a hard time. Syllabus CLEARLY states grading system.  There's extra credit too!

Sebastian is a phenomenal professor! He is hilarious and class is enjoyable. The transition to online due to Covid-19 was a bit uncomfortable, had a few bumps in the road. His lectures are clear and concise. He has many examples for us to do, and is willing to answer any question students have. Will definitely take again!

I loved him! He was really easy to reach and even though lectures were online I understood the material pretty well!

Honestly, if you are looking for an easy understanding summer class with little to no stress, dont pick this Professor. Very strict grader, very aggressive tone in emails, and is honestly just a grumpy dude. After what I have witnessed I disagree with all these ratings. This professor doesnt seem to care for his students at all and is strict.
