I don't recommend ever to take a course with rana nassif, she's the worst in terms of EVERYTHING
2- Farouk’s an experience. You grow immeasurably in his lectures. He’s so well- informed and brings math to life in an almost magical way. His lectures are the most enjoyable ones I’ve attended in university. That being said, he likes to challenge his students, so if exams aren’t common, Farouk’s will be difficult. However, if exams are common, don’t miss out on the Farouk experience
Shaya is really good and super friendly, he explains well but you need to keep attending his classes to get a good grade. He gives important examples during the lectures that you may see on your exam paper. If you take it with Shaya, you will have to go to recitations that are given usually by Prof.Yamani to get a good grade. Recitations are super important with shaya
For non-premed chemistry students, it's recommended to take MATH 201 in the first semester rather than as an elective, since it is a prerequisite for other chemistry courses.
Taking MATH 201, CMPS 211, and CMPS 202 together is considered doable, especially with tutoring (e.g., with Yaghi) for MATH 201.
For MATH 201, the recitation instructor doesn't matter much since they only cover examples and questions — what matters most is who teaches the lecture.
For MATH 201 at AUB, make sure to register for both the lecture and the recitation, since recitation instructors only run problem-solving sessions, not the lecture.
MATH 201 does not feel like a big workload if you study on a daily basis, and on that basis it is manageable alongside ECON 212 in summer.
Wissam Raji is widely praised as one of the best MATH 201 professors, with multiple students calling him the top choice and a good professor.
Wissam Raji's MATH 201 lectures are good and clear as long as you're not late to class, though some students prefer Bassam Shayya.
Tamer Tlas is best avoided for MATH 201; he is known for docking points from students who ask questions during exams, and his class average tends to be very low, prompting advice to switch sections.
For MATH 201, Kamal Khuri-Makdisi is named as one of the best professors, alongside Bassam Shayya.
Giuseppe Della Sala is a helpful MATH 201 professor who some feel is over-hated; his accent makes him hard to follow for some students, but he's ready to help, and recorded lectures from Shayya are available as backup if needed.
Farouk is the preferred instructor for MATH 201; students say both he and Shayya are great professors but recommend Farouk in particular.
Shayya is a good professor for MATH 201, though students who compared him with Farouk leaned slightly toward Farouk.
For MATH 201 with Wissam Raji, students also recommend attending Bassam Shayya's sessions, calling him excellent.
For MATH 201, Bassam Shayya is named as one of the best professors, alongside Kamal Khuri-Makdisi.
Bassam Shayya is recommended for MATH 201, though he is noted as not teaching the course this Fall.
Bassam Shayya is widely recommended as the best MATH 201 (Calculus III) professor, with several students urging others to go for him.
academically: average (unexperienced), she copies from her copybook, gives a good summary of the book's explanation though. However, she's so sweet and friendly, makes good connections with her students, and is so responsive (office hours - emails)
Mr Yamani gives great notes, but I did not understand the material deeper than the exercises; I ended up getting a high grade though which was awesome
I took 218 with Rana Nassif and she is okay, explains alot, a bit fast but repeats alot, and some people in class thought she needed to chill and calm down and some other stuff too... but i think she is not bad if u keep up with her and take notes each day and study them
Lina is just the best and amazing for 201, she is can be fast sometimes but definitely go for it, if you focus in class and understand her, you can get high grades
zadour is very good in explaining the course and one of the nicest teachers in AUB yet his exams are quite difficult
He does not give partial grades and very strict in terms of grading and has a special complicated method in doing the raise which is weird and unfair. since it is most probably gonna be common exam, you can register with other instructors and attend his class.
Best instructor. he really helps a lot and if he saw that you are putting effort into the course, he'll shift percentages just don't mention previouses or raise and attend his sessions because if you don't he might not answer your questions in his office hours
Great at explaining and was very helpful during office hours! Really made a difference to take it with him..
Amazing! I remember I used to attend his section even though I wasn't registered with him. Great at explaining and makes everything simple and easy to understand. You'll score high if you take it with him :)
Abi Khuzam without a doubt. The way he explains is detailed and straightforward. He offers a decent amount of examples in class and offers some mathematical intuition, which makes you fully understand the lesson without the need for proofs (although some r given sometimes).
They were both amazing and explain the subject thoroughly. If I had to choose the best among the two I’d have to say Shayya, but if you do end up taking with Abi Khuzam it is not a loss. Also I heard Tlas is good as well so really whichever one you choose, you’re in good hands
1- Shayya: this professor is brilliant. He breaks down initially “difficult” concepts into digestible chunks of information. Attend the lectures and practice regularly and you’ve practically secured a high grade
Farouk abi khuzam is awesome , he explains really well and makes you appreciate maths and its applications, his exams can be tricky and u need to prepare for it well to get a 90 bs he is amazing prof and he is accessible during his office hours w ktir friendly with those who show respect and keep attending his lects.
Tlas for the ''raise'' ...he basically gives some hard exams but at the end of the course u get a good raise. The last question in every quiz is super hard and he puts it to make sure no student gets above 90 ....That's what my friends used to say.
Shayyaa akin don't even think about it. You can get really really well ( 90+) with him if you listen in class and practice a lot. He's awesome. He explains extremely well, and mahdoum ktir.
