Any review carried over from elsewhere is marked with its source on its own line. - **1/5 · 2022-08** — Ibrahim Abou Faycal doesn't give a grade raise, gives hard exams, and students advise avoiding EECE 231 with him. - **2020-08** — His teachign method is generally time demanding and harder than most professors He’s really amazing and he helps a lot and always there for you for assistance, but if you’re just taking the course as a requirement andhave no interest in the material it is better not to take it with him - **2020-06** — Good explanations, challenging exams, extra material very useful for higher courses, and a good raise (whatever the average is he will do a raise to make it 80) - **2020-06** — Take with bazzi only if you love programming and you enjoy being challenged. His exams are the hardest. Other professors give easier exams. - **2020-06** — Great instructor for that course! - **2020-06** — Dr. Hazem wants the best for his students, always understanding and really enjoyable person. Classes sometimes become boring but you learn a lot + Grades are always top - **2020-06** — I recommend this course and this instructor - **2020-06** — Hazem's exams arent that tough and he really wants his students to understand + get good grades - **2020-06** — I took the course with Hazem. His classes were enjoyable. He's great and he's also a very understanding person. Recommended - **2020-06** — Best professor for any programming course - **2020-06** — Dr. Ibrahim abu faycal has his own teaching philosophy There’s weekly problem sets that are challenging and take lots time to solve, but if you plan to understand the course and get a good grade you have to understand them and do them even if they’re not graded.2) those problem sets are not graded however if you don’t do them i guarantee you 100% you wont pass the course If he puts high regard on his final exam, so if u screw it up say bye to a decent grade, wl 3aksou sa7ee7 ## See also - [All Electrical And Computer Engineering courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/electrical-and-computer-engineering.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
