I do not know why a BIO department prof is teaching BIO-PSYCH. He is a nice person but definitely not a great prof for 106. He's test is okay but he gave the wrong information during review section. That's the main reason for me to receive a B+. Do not recommend to take his class but if there's no other option plz do not go to his review section.

I'm sorry but he is the worst teacher I have ever had. took it fall 2013, not only did half the people drop it and withdraw. When it was down to the final everyone got a C.

I thought this class was going to be a joke at first. As the course progressed, however, I realized how increasignly difficult it was becoming to maintain an A in math, though I've always received A+ marks. Dr. Ayoub is ineffective at teaching, lacks common sense and is a plague on acadedmic health. Worst class ever, waste of my life.

He's now our Honors Pre-Calculus teacher in high school and he really can't teach us. He has no authority over the class and can't put his foot down now because it's too late. He assumes we know the material and won't listen to us. When we ask a question, he goes off on a tangent and doesn't answer it. If he does answer it, it's too complicated.

Nice, though, kind of boring. And he basically just reads off his slides so you think the test will be easy. Then you get the test and immediately DESPISE him! He told the class something wasn't going to be on it and made 10/50 questions on that section! Ridiculous. Just know EVERYTHING and take what he says with a grain of salt... and vodka.

He was a wonderful asset to Westmont College. I greatly enjoyed his teaching techniques.

Nice and friendly professor. His exams are mainly off lectures and the summaries at the end of each chapter should be enough to clarify any ambiguous details. Really good curve.

doesn't know how to teach and doesn't care about student. He seems like he does not have any knowledge about biology. He is very very personal and never accept the question.

just reads off his slides. he's so boring. if you ask him a question he usually can't answer it. the midterms and the final was multiple choice, but some of the questions were worded badly. avoid this teacher!!

This was his first time teaching the course, but the lectures were amazing. He actually got the students interested in the course. The tests were very straight forward; he didn't try to trick any of us. If you can, take the course because it's seriously the first bio class that didn't bore me to death.

Worst professor ever, reads off his slides or just flips through them because he wasted all his time talking about something that has nothing to do with the class. He also looks like the alien from Men in Black that works at the pawn shop. Basically I hate him.

Doesn't explain things, wastes time, VERY poor clarity, doesn't seem to like teaching much.

Thought he was ok in the start, but over time he has been reading more and more off the slides, which one might as well do at home. I would argue that he is both clear and easy to understand. In sum, he is very average in his teaching ability.

Not clear at all, not helpful. Just reads off the slides and then goes too quickly so you can't write down everything. He assumes everyone took biology in high school which is not the case for everyone. Seems nice, but doesn't know how to break things down for dumb people like myself!

He's pretty straightforward. He's also a nice guy and wants us to connect what we learn in class with the "real world." He just lacks the authoritative look, which is never good amidst obnoxious and self-righteous students.

worst teacher ever

this class was the worst thing i've ever taken. He seems like a nice guy but boring as hell and wastes time talking about science magazine articles from two summers ago. He seems to know the stuff but can't teach it. This is a weeder class and you will fall asleep even in the front row. plus you gotta wonder when your bio prof cant pronounce biolog

Prof Ayoub taught this class as if we had already taken bio classes, his explainations were too technical and lectures seemed to skip around a lot. Tests seemed more like AP tests than anything multiple choice but with a lot of those none of the above or only ab and not C. Not too good for an intro bio class. I don't feel like I remembered anything
