Greatest professor in NEU.MISM6400 2026-10-20 20:54:30 +0000 UTC
Great clear lectures. All matierals posted online. He likes participation in class! I took this during summer a and it was shorter so there were only 3 tests and 1-2 group projects! Interesting class and he tries to keep people engaged. Brings cookies on the last day of classMGSC2301 2026-07-08 14:39:32 +0000 UTC
I loved him. He is a great teacher that makes class enjoyable. He knows his stuff and teaches it well. His class is test heavy with 3 tests around 20% each that can be difficult but he graded them day of which was fab. You have to put the work in to do well in his class but he provides you with all of the material you could need. highly recommend!SCHM2301 2026-06-17 22:57:00 +0000 UTC
He clearly understands stats and wants his students to as well. He does a good job of explaining the concepts behind the formulas and works hard to prepare you for the exams. He's also a really funny dude if you to talk to him.2203 2024-11-22 02:14:20 +0000 UTC
By far, one of the BEST Professors I have ever had!! He is extremely intelligent, very helpful, funny, caring and you can tell that he loves what he does and is very good at it. I wish there were more Professors like Professor Zaarour!!! Absolutely Awesome!! Highly recommendMGSC6200 2024-03-29 14:21:40 +0000 UTC
Avoid taking statistics class as he heavily relies on midterms and finals to determine your grade.While he responds to texts he doesn't provide clear answers. His exams differ from lectures and homework, and there's no exam review or guide.There's no partial credit or opportunity to show working either. Homework is graded unfairly as assignments.MGSC2201 2023-04-15 00:25:34 +0000 UTC
A wonderful course! If you follow him in classes, assignments and exams are easy. He has a good memory, so he probably knows who is not in attendance. The classes are pretty interesting, including reality cases in life.IE7280 2022-04-28 03:05:10 +0000 UTC
Won't bug on the curve and grading distribution. He is caring and easy to converse with. Give reasonable explanations for everything. Recommended.IE6200 2020-12-18 02:20:09 +0000 UTC
Best teacher I ever had!STATU280 2020-11-06 00:27:14 +0000 UTC
Interactive and Informative class.BUSN6324 2018-07-18 02:03:59 +0000 UTC
Great class! Although I was really nervous to take a stats course, Proessor Z is great and he even made stats fun! Really interactive class with good lectures and class projects.MGSC6207 2018-04-24 14:45:24 +0000 UTC
Prof Z is an amazing professor! He makes subjects that might not be so exciting, relevant and easy to understand. Lectures are very interactive and lively which is such a plus in those long classes.SCHM6201 2018-04-16 11:33:10 +0000 UTC
The man is a quadruple Husky. He got his undergraduate degree, 2 masters degrees, and his PhD all from our very own Northeastern. He is a true husky. He enjoys what he does. He loves to teach and he does so very effectively. Come to class, pay attention and take notes, study, ask for help, and you're good to go with the help of Dr. Zaarour.MGSC1201 2012-10-28 15:31:44 +0000 UTC
Supercool Prof.INEN6200 2012-09-28 01:45:51 +0000 UTC
Great teacher. Very clear, enthusiastic, always willing to help and answer questions, and doesn't make anything harder than it has to be. His quizzes/tests are straightforward and he prepared me well for the department final.MATH1342 2011-12-27 02:01:38 +0000 UTC
