Comment:
I'm pretty good at math and I am struggling so bad in precal and his teaching does not help. He's nice and a little funny but it's so hard to understand what's happening and tests have NO VISUALS. I can't understand from just reading so my grades on tests are pretty low. Do NOT take if you're a visual learner and need things to be simplified.

Comment:
Terrible instructor! He has a very condescending tone during lectures. Calculus is already boring, coupled with a mediocre instructor, makes it excruciating. He gives no extra credit. And the arbitrary, short time limits set on quizzes and exams are not reasonable at all. Choose someone else for Business Calc or Calc I

Prof. Gus was nice, and he can be funny sometimes, but his class was not for me. This was an online class, which was hard enough, and all in all, he was fine, but his teaching style did not work for me. All of the grades were through a separate website, similar to WebWork. All tests were multiple choice. Good class if you love notes and lectures.

I would definitely not recommend taking him. He was not a good teacher and I was constantly confused. I have never struggled more in a class than I did in his. I even moved on to get an A in both bio calculus and biostatistics, but somehow got a C in this class.

Didn't help and was not helpful, the only saving grace was he rounded up my 69.24 to a C.

I took this class for Summer 2020 which was online. Im generally good at math so his lectures were good to me. Your graded only one homework, 2 tests and a final. The homework can be hard but you can attempt the question 3 times and then request a similar question so I always had As on my homework. You can also find resources to help you. Easy A.

Comment:
Spring 2020: He has some low ratings, but my experience was positive. He knows the material, and teaches it well, but he does have a passive aggressive attitude. It did not bother me, and so I would recommend him if you have a thicker skin than average because he does know the material. There are 3 exams and 1 final. Lots of homework and quizzes.

This review is for those who are good at math. Take notes of his lectures, for they are like the test. He does expect you to already know some BASIC algebra. Hmwk heavy, but hmwk is harder than test. He explained and worked through every problem, and reviewed prior to test. I never had to peek at the book, but DO attend classes. Great professor!

Comment:
If you do your homework on time and get help right when you need it, this class will not be that hard. I recommend not skipping this class because its easier to learn from professor Nasr than by yourself. Im not great at math but I ended up with an A by keeping up and putting in some effort. Lowest test grade is dropped at end of semester.

Very thorough in Lecture! As long as you show up and pay attention the material is pretty easy the way he puts it. If you struggle with math I do t recommend him, but if you like math hes good.

Professor Gus is a fair teacher in my opinion. Me earning an average grade in this class is because i did not maximize my potential. Yes he does at times be a little hard on students but for the most part once he sees that you are making an effort he helps you during his office hours. There was a lot of hw but in class notes help you for the exams.

HORRIBLE! He is so rude! He doesnt teach and expect you to know it all already! All he does is belittle and embarrass you because you dont remember everything from the Prerequisite maths and thats all he talks about! This class is basically just trigonometry and redundant to take! I do not like him whatsoever!!

Expected to know the material before class. He does not like when questions are asked and will get defensive if you ask a question that you should already know. Material is not taught well and the homework consists of extremely hard questions, whereas he teaches the easy examples in class.

Super lecture heavy so it is best to show up BUT if you have questions about why he skipped steps it is best to go to tutoring because this professor does not enjoy answering or writing those down. He will always say "you should know this from college algebra". My MathLab helped me more than anything in lecture. I would not recommend or take again

I had to drop his class for other reasons, but I think if you can keep on top of your hw, and the kind of student that talks to the prof and goes to tutoring daily, you should be OK. I did notice that frequently the example in class would be very simple, while the hw that night would be extremely complex. Had an IMPOSSIBLE time limit on quizzes.

If you know how to reach yourself go for it. The way he teaches is not understood easily he makes the math problems more complected than necessary. He should not be teaching business calc If he does not even know a single thing about business. Famous phrase of the semester " you should've learned this last semester. Only upside he drops lowest test

Unless you want to teach yourself, I advise you to pick another professor. Gus was a horrible professor in the way that he didn't like to break anything down for others to understand, instead he seems to get upset when people are having trouble instead of being glad to help. DO NOT TAKE HIM unless you're excellent in Calculus.

Only people who are bad at math hate him. I believe Gus is such an amazing professor and is funny and caring. When you ask him questions outside of class or in class he's very helpful. However, the class itself is super hard.

This class had sooo much coursework. We met once a week but had notes, quizzes, homework, and 3 hours in the math center every week. He lectures and is not very helpful when answering questions. The grading is based on several things but if you don't meet all the requirements for a letter grade you didn't get it (i.e. with 2 absences you get a B).

Teaches the fairly easy questions with simple explanations but will assign tough homework that is way beyond what was taught.
