Comment:
Dr Khayat evidently puts little effort into lectures. They are voiceovers of textbook snippets that add very little and it often seems as though he too is reading them for the first time. Class examples are simple but then test questions are strictly derivations. You are not set up for success in this course and he is hard to reach with issues.

Comment:
I am confident in saying he is the worst prof I have had yet. I have had 22 profs to-date. His "lectures" are recordings where he stumbles through the textbook readings. At least the examples in the textbook are approachable. Then, the test asks you to derive some abstract formula from first principles. He also takes 2-3 weeks to respond to emails

Comment:
Professor Khayat teaches you how to throw a ball off a building, and then tests you on a mathematical proof showing that a bowling ball exists. Terrible disconnect between "taught" content and tested material. Terrible professor, avoid if possible.

Comment:
Online lectures are slides taken directly from the internet that he then reads, barely going through steps saying its for you to figure out. Tests are nothing like the in class lectures or assignments and are mostly derivations with no numbers. Doesnt answer email and has no care for students.

Comment:
Tests purely on long derivations. provides "lectures" by uploading textbook slides and narrating. Genuinely one of the worst professors I've had at western. Hasn't used a real number in his examples since probably last century.

Comment:
This is by far THE WORST class and professor ive ever taken or dealt with. 0 organization in lectures, 0 explanation skills, 0 logic in assigning coursework and weight! Absolutely horrible class conduction, focused on calc rather than fluids! Asked for homework but never provided answers to study from for the tests!! If you can, DONT TAKE IT!

Comment:
Goes on rants a lot. Never actually taught just did different derivations that would later be on the exam. Once said he intentionally doesn't answer email because there are so many. When we switched to online learning he became impossible to reach. The grades for any tests online seem like they were completely random. Lecs became screenshots of tb

Comment:
This man loves his proofs and math, so if you're no good at calc 3 you'll fail. He's disorganised with lessons (incorrect solution/proof, not finishing examples), his testing criteria is inconsistent (can go from giving all part marks to none), and doesn't agree to feedback. Goto roger's class if you wanna good laugh, he tells funny stories.

Comment:
Worst prof I have ever come across. Occasionally decides to not show up to lectures without telling his students. Makes tons of mistakes on the board. Is unprepared for lectures and has to constantly refer to Dr. Savory's notes for reference because he does not seem to know the material himself. Does not cover crucial topics that were on the final!

Comment:
I have never been made to feel as stupid as during class with him. This expectations of students are too high and he assumes everyone has a full degree in applied mathematics before he offers his course. Refuses to help students and if they have a problem, says that will be on the exam because he wants to test us on the difficult stuff.

He's a completely useless prof. I feel like I learn less in his classes. He likes to rant onto random topics and somehow always talks about honey. If you want to learn Fluid Mechanics, this is the wrong guy.

Comment:
He doesn't teach. He rants for 3 classes in a row, gets to the answer, realizes it's wrong, and says "well. I guess there's an error somewhere in this. Oh well." Then he'll put that question on the exam. If he can't do the question on the board to show us, how does he expect us to be able to do it?

Comment:
khayat.... what more needs to be said.... his course is tougher than it needs to be. He wont only test your fluids knowledge but your knowledge of all mathematical principles. I think i burn less brain cells smoking up than I do trying to learn his course material.

Comment:
The final he gave had nothing to do with the objectives of the course, the entire class failed. This man is incompetent. And the only reason he's teaching is because he knows he cannot get a job in industry. Disappointing.

Comment:
Professor Khayat teaches from first principles as he believes it is important for us to understand the theoretical before using the practical in industry. He uses old exams every year and his questions are straight out of his notes and assignments (straightforward but obscure). His digressions are entertaining and once he starts he doesn't stop.

He is a joker and makes the class interesting. He makes the class easier to understand and the applications useful.
