Perfect lectures where the material was spoon-fed. I loved Mr. Shehab’s style of teaching. Watching the lectures before class with your professor ensures an acing grade on the course. I was hoping for MATlab content, but I handled that from class, other than that I definitely recommend this course to anyone that plans on taking math 251.

Mr. Shehab has saved me so much time, thanks to this course. Instead of watching hours long recordings, Mr. Shehab presents the concepts in bite-sized videos that are easy and straight to the point. His explanations are clear and unambiguous. I just would have preferred more MATLAB content, but aside from this I would highly recommend enrolling in this course!
