Mr. Zoughbie is a nice teacher- he allows you to have open notes/open book during quizes and tests. Unfortunately the tests are too hard. He does grade on a curve. This is tough subject matter to learn ( I would recommend reading the chapter before the lecture, even for the first day of class) but Zoughbie will stay after class to help you if you ask. He is a serious teacher but can at times be quite funny. He has a foreign accent so you'll have to pay attention and take notes.You will have an opportunity to earn extra credit. Class participation is noted.
