Comment:
AVOID! I've never hated a class so bad. Very unorganized. Tests are easy but there are too many questions. final is 33 questions in 2 hours. Sometimes he messed up with the correct answers so double-check if you see something wrong. Office hour is usually full of people. I deeply regret taking him. He turned my last quarter into a nightmare.

Comment:
Avoid at all costs. His exams had incorrect questions ALL QUARTER which just waste your little exam time only for him to admit that the answer was not in the options. You get the points back for the question but it is not worth the time spent. He can't even write a coherent test so there's no way to show that you know the material. Little exam time

Comment:
Worst professor I ever had in my life. He does not teach correctly and his time limits are insane. I personally studied for an exam and still failed with the horrible questions he chose. He does not want you to pass the way he is teaching and even with heavy studying it's so hard to even try for that C.

Comment:
Hassan isn't that difficult, his quiz/exams are pretty easy as long as you studied. The problem is he cannot teach for jack shiet. I've had pretty bad professors but my god this dude is a natural at being unable to teach for shiet. Only take this dude if: 1. you can self study 2. want easier exams 3. if theres no better option.

Comment:
He refuses to tell students how many questions will be on the test, claiming that people may cheat using that information. Also, he randomly changed the curriculum of the course in the middle of the first meeting. He also did not provide an option for correct answers on a multiple choice quiz. Overall, he is a problematic mess. Avoid him.

Probably one of the worst professors at De Anza. Youd probably learn more by teaching yourself. Cannot even make a test correctly, way too many mistakes. You will never not be stressing about his class. When you think you know what he's talking about, you don't. Take this class with any other professor! AVOID THIS PROFESSOR LIKE THE PLAGUE.

malded over a student cheating and ended up writing literally impossible tests with faulty images, no correct answers, and questions that had not been covered in lecture yet. He also started the final exam 30 minutes earlier than scheduled without warning.

Comment:
Took Bourgoub before Covid-19, so keep in mind some things may change. Bourgoub is probably easiest math A at de anza if you do/study the homework. When I took him, all test/quiz problems are directly from (relatively easy) online/written homeworks he provides. Attend all lectures for ec, but beware that his lectures are extraordinarily bad.

He tries to teach in lecture, but it's mostly self study. Exams are from homework or he makes his own questions if he decides to do the exam on canvas. 33 questions with multiple parts for final under 2 hours.

Only take this class if you can self-study. Lectures are long and hard to understand. Tests are longer than usual and unless you really get the materials then it is really hard to finish on time. 33 questions on a linear algebra final ��

This professor assigned us 33 problems in 120 minutes. That is approximately about 3.63 minutes per question. A normal linear algebra problems takes at least 7-10 minutes to complete. Please avoid this class if you really care about your GPA. Unless you are some math god, then this class is for you.

Literally the worst. Please don't take his class if you care about your GPA. A few people did well on tests and exams but overall, the class average was around 80%. Final was 17 questions long and 2 hours. Differential equations is hard enough and 17 questions was way too long. His quizzes and tests are really bad and he is a bad professor

I took Math 1C and 1D with Professor Bourgoub and had no issue with his grading criteria. Even though, he switched from Webassign to Canvas for test 3 and final for 1D, the final was pretty simple if you self-study. I would say it's doable if you can do webassign hw and maintain your grade throughout the quarter.

Do not take him. Period. Lectures were extremely disorganized and confusing. He does not respond to emails whatsoever. Both exams and quizzes were awfully challenging and instructions are always unclear. Prior to taking this class, I read that it was do-able if you just self-study, this is a lie due to the amount of material you have to learn.

I would not take his class if I were you. You learn nothing at all in his lectures and you have to teach everything to yourself. His tests used to be on WebAssign and now are on Canvas. But his Canvas tests are awful. There are typos in nearly every question, many with no correct answer at all and correct answers are marked incorrect.

Lecture materials are over the place. Instructions are unclear. His office hours are completely inaccesible and never respond to my email despite he still send out emails to the class. I felt ignored and seems like De Anza never really care about their education quality, btw I havent heard this professor receiving any course evaluation.

Homework is on webassign, tests/quizzes are either on canvas or webassign, depending on his mood. Class is self-study. He does not respond to emails, so only time you can contact him is during class lol.. I'd recommend a different professor. The TA in the class was really nice and helpful. Ash was a bit rude at times. Below-average experience.

I needed to take this class to apply to graduate school. He's one of the better professor at De Anza. He knows his stuff. He will teach you the tools you need to survive the next level. If you don't care about learning and just want an easy grade then I don't recommend taking him. Also, much appreciated all the TI-84 tips and tricks
