- **MATH 201 · 2020-04** — 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.

- **MATH 201 · 2020-04** — The best instructor for this course. I personally loved his explanation

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — Great at explaining and was very helpful during office hours! Really made a difference to take it with him..

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — Shaya is great. He explains the theory and does many examples . Go for it

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — 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

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — 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

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — 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

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — 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.

- **MATH 201 · 2019-08** — Attend with shayya to understand bas take it with another instructor for the grade wise
