Professor Ali is a pedagogue deeply concerned with his students' knowledge of the material. My single biggest suggestion to Professor Ali in regards to this course would be to have the labs due before tests. I think this will greatly benefit students' comprehension of the material, as well as test performance. Fair grader as long as you work.
GREAT GUY!! Ali is an awesome teacher and goes over every bit of material. Labs take a lot of time to do, but gives you them weeks in advance. Tests are easy if you understand and do the labs yourself. Very helpful out of class, will answer questions and teach it different ways if asked. Best class ive taken at UTEP
Easiest class and easiest A teacher ever for Engineering Analysis 1
He knows his stuffs. His instructions are clear and understandable. Even though UTEP is not a top college, Ali made UTEP as great as Harvard. Highly recommended. Easy A professor for Dynamics
Dynamics is a tough course but Ali is a great teacher. Take him
Taking 3 classes with Dr. Ali and he is a very good professor. I took all his classes in Summer 2016 and as long as you do the discussions each week you'll be fine. His exams are online and aren't timed which you have plenty of time to come back to each question. You don't really need the book since you can look up the material online.
Ali is a new professor at UTEP. Ali gives extra credit assignments weekly. 20 points each assignment. Ali doesn't want students to get a B in his class. Ali wants all of his students to get A's. I got 100 on first two exams so far. Easiest professor overall.
Very clear, accessible, and engaging for Engineering Analysis 1. Easiest A at UTEP. Very hot too
Abul is not only passionate about Fluid Mechanics, he is also passionate about students who are passionate about Fluid Mechanics. Abul genuinely cares about his students and is possibly the best professor at UTEP
He is by far one of my favorite professors at UTEP. He is the kind of teacher that would make fun of himself in order to get the point across. He genuinely does care about his students!! Take him for Fluid Mechanics !! He is the BEST!!!
Good instructor, very knowledgeable about field of community policing. Shared lots of vast experience. Makes class interesting and encourages participation. Attendance is part of grade. Several papers and weekly assignments/discussions are part of class. Will take another class if possible.
Ali makes UTEP the top mechanical engineering school after teaching Dynamics course. Exams are incredibly easy. Nothing could stop Ali from giving easy quizzes and easy exams. Ali is funny and made class fun. Take him
I'm taking both Engineering Analysis 1 and Dynamics with Abul this Summer 2016. Abul is a great teacher. Gives one or two HW problems a week. Never pay attention on units of the answers. Awesome lectures
I'm taking Dynamics with Abul this Summer 2016. Even though Abul is from other school and new to UTEP, Abul is amazing. Taking Abul for easy A and earn both good knowledge and easy A everyday. Take Dynamics with Abul
Great teacher. Offers extra credit assignments twice a week. Very funny personality. Take Engineering Analysis 1
If you take Fluid Mechanics, you will receive a lot of EC. I had 12 points added to my exams (which worthed 60% of your grade). His lectures were excellent in clarity and ask questions if you are confused. Class average is from 94-98%
If you take Engineering Analysis 1 with Abul, you will receive a lot of Extra Credits. His lectures were excellent in clarity and ask questions if you are confused. Class average is also around 93-96%
Dynamics is a tough course. However, Abul made it very easy. He give extra credit assignments so they're optional. Take Abul Ali for easy A. It's really hard to fail his class
Taking all three classes this Summer with Abul and still managed to get all A's. Dynamics is the toughest for its materials but because of extra credit assignments that helped me get A's. Easy A. Class average is around 94%
Take Abul easy teacher
Not a tough class at all. I'm from Juarez Mexico and Ingles is my second language and still passed this class with an A. Make sure you sit in the front and bring your notes on the exams since it is open book and open note exams
Engineering Analysis 1 is the easiest class in all classes I took. Abul just did his job by teaching everything but his class was easy because Engineering Analysis 1 was easy. I dropped Vinod Kumar Engineering Analysis 1 class to take this Summer course with other professor. Abul gives everyone 20 points extra credits on every exam and quiz.
Amazing professor, makes you think. He does joke around with students a bit, but their is no malice behind it. Tests are all typed and he expects you to be detailed about your answers. Attendance IS MANDATORY! was late to class and he went over a lot. If you like power points this class IS for you, there are a lot. You need help? TALK to HIM!
Very nice and kind to every student in all 3 Summer classes. He is very generous, especially to those have trouble understanding class materials. Absolutely recommend this prof to anyone who wants to learn and get easy A. He gives tons of extra credits to help students get easy A for Dynamics, Fluid and Analysis 1
Easiest class ever taken. Make sure you come to Engineering Analysis 1 everyday. Take your calculator to the exam. Easiest A overall
Easy teacher for Fluid Mehanics Homework is given once every two weeks. He also gives 10 point take home extra credit assignments every week. So make sure you come to class to know which problems to do. Take Abul
Worst professor I ever had. 90 percent of the class failing expect no curve or no help with what so ever. His exams are really hard!!!!!! Do not take him !!!!!!!
The biggest mistake I have ever made taking this professor. The only reason I took this class because want to take it with Samia Afrin. Exams are super hard
Quizzes homework and exams are completely different. Be careful. Got 66 for average
Prepare to fail even if you study everyday for him. I had my study group and studied his class everyday but we still failed in the exams. His exams are crazy and do not go anywhere
Great teacher! I like this professor because he cares about his students. If you want to learn and get an A or good grades. Take this professor. I can guarantee you'll be very happy and thankful after taking his class
Dr Ali is awesome. If you want to get an A and learn how mechanical engineering works, take any classes with Abul Ali. Ali really cares about his students in every single way. It is very hard to fail his class if you do homework and bring your calculator to every class. Very cool personality.
Best professor at all time. I absolutely recommend Abul Ali for any classes he teaches at UTEP. No one could be better than professor Abul Ali at UTEP
Class Average is always around 94-96%. Best class ever taken. He explains well above average. It's really hard to fail or even get a B in any classes Abul teaches. I like this professor
Abul teaches both Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics. Gives students more than enough extra credits to get an A. Easiest A class ever had. Utep mechanical engineering department always wanted students to share their teachers info on ratemyprofessors to make students take their good teachers
Make your mama proud of you by getting easy A in Abul's Dynamics course. Easiest instructor at UTEP. Abul is very nice and kind. Always in office 24/7.
Taking Engineering Analysis 1 and Fluid with Abul, I can hardly believe that people would fail or get a low grade for taking ANY classes with Prof. Abul. Prof. Abul is kind hearted and very caring for every student in his class. Top professor at UTEP and in the US. Take Prof. Abul. Highly Recommended
Abul Ali is incredibly tough and challenging. I wish UTEP replaces him by someone else for Fluid Mechanics. I studied days and nights and came to every single class but never pass his exams. Please listen to me I'm serious, be really careful. I failed his Fluid Mechanics class.
Would never take any classes with Abul again. Everyone struggled in Abul class and begged him for mercy but he never granted ones. As other people said 90% class failed that's true. I was one of people failed
No extra credits no curves. His exams are made up by himself that aren't in any textbook. Lectures are very messy and disirganized. Please don't take him if you still have a chance to take someone else. RUN!!!
Prepare to fail even if you study days and nights. You won't have a clue how to solve his exam problems. Both exams and lectures are messy and disorganized.
Don't believe any of the good comments about this professor, everyone at the class thought that the professor was the one writing good comments for himself. I took it this past summer 2016,His class is very hard to pass,he doesnt give any extra credits,and if you ask him whats gonna be on the exam, he will tell you"everyting we've covered" thats it
grades nothing and dose not make tests. couldnt tell students what to study and thats not a problem the problem is some major topics were completely unrepresented on test
Even though I got a D in his Fluid Mechanics class, I believe that professor Abul Ali is a very good teacher. He is very kind and always care about his students. I was going to give up school several times, but he always encourage me and asked me if I needed any helps with. With me, I think he's one of my best professors. Sorry guys but he's great
Abul gives 50 point extra credit as encouragements for people who needs it. Exam questions are multiple choice straight from the textbook. Easiest A for Dynamics
Very easy professor. He cares about his students as if they're his own children. He gives students four 20-point extra credit assignments at the end of semester to help students get an A in his class. Very lenient on grading too
Exams are multiple choice. No short answer. Most was found in the textbook. No outside sources. Open book open note for Dtnamics and Engineering Analysis 1.
Very good professor. Shafi gives at least 10 points extra credits on every exam for both Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer exams. He spoke broken English but very clear instructions on what to study for the exam. I'm from Juarez and English is my second language but still got 100 on every exam and quizzes. Take him for easy A
Abul Ali is a real gem. I took him all 3 classes in the Summer Engineering Analysis 1, Dynamics and Fluid Mechanics. He gives 3 midterm exams and one final. He drops one of the lowest exam grade for all 3 classes. He offers 20 point extra credit for attending class. Easiest A class ever.
Passing Abul's class with an A is easy, failing or to get a B is almost impossible. Just pay attention come to class and do the extra credit assignments
Dr. Ali is a very kind and understanding professor who truly wants his students to learn and succeed. I really appreciate his efforts to reach all of his students. If you really want to learn then take his class especially if you are going into the health care field
His class is a guaranteed A class. I didn't even show up a single day and still got 100 on every exam. Take him. He always said attendance was mandatory but it actually isn't. Would definitely take him again for easiest A class and for extra credit assignment
Best teacher ever!! I took him for 3 classes... I recommend him sooo much. He does not care about grades he cares about students learning, he thinks students should not have to be worrying about grades but learning so he easily gives you good grades... He is a medical doctor and teaches clinically relevant facts
He gives homework and attendance as extra credit assignments. They are optional. Take him. Easiest A class ever had for all 3 classes
Great personality. Always willing to answer any question students have. Very easy and easiest A or "100" of all engineering classes. Make sure you do the extra credit assignments on the exam or quizzes or even homework. Pass the class with 100 for all 4 exams
He cares about students and gives students good grades I believe. Take Abul Ali Great guy
Best professor ever had for intro to thermal fluids. Easiest A ever
he's very hot. Easy A teacher for special topics and fluids course. love this professor and recommended
greatest professor of all. taking intro to thermal with him. no one could drop his class or fail his class easily. explains things in organized way amd very clear instructions. class average for first exam was 95. highly recommended
easy A professor. highly recommended Abul for any classes.
if you want an easy A, take Abul Ali. he doesn't care about students leave class or attend class. he cares about students' understandings and grades. he helps students get easy A. take him
Easiest class ever almost 99% of students in class got 100 on the first exam. Gives tons of extra credits. Take this professor for easy A. He's very hot too
No one could drop any classes with Abul easily. Very hard to fail or get a B in any classes Abul Ali teaches. 99% of students in his class got 100 as the average right now. Easy Special Topic class overall
Mean and rude. Do not take Ali for your own good
Best instructor I've had at UTEP. Take any classes that he teaches you'll love it!!! Highly recommended! Easy A and easy to understand. Straightforward!!! Class average always around 98-99%.
Easy A. Good teacher take him
Easiest A ever for Thermodynamics. Abul did a great job
Really cares about students. He's there for everyone. No need to come to class and still pass with an A
Extremely easy class. I have gotten several good instructors but this one is the best of all. He gives students like 20-30 extra credit questions straight from the book to help students boost their grades up. Take Abul for easy A
Extra credits given clear instructions
easy 100 take him
Horrible professor. I swear I'll never wanna take him again
Honest review for Intro to Thermofluids. Found this professor's teaching method useless, gets his ppts and just talks thinking everyone gets it, he goes fast, and won't make them available. Keeps saying use your book like if everyone had it. Almost no HW/quizes. Tests are real tough. Should have wait for a different prof. Class avrg 100% yea right!
More than half of class got 100. Easy A ever. Great professor too take Abul Ali
If you really want to learn and get easy A, take Abul Ali for Intro to Thermo Fluid and Engineering Analysis 1. He's really easy A teacher. My average was 100 for both classes with Abul Ali
I took this professor in Summer 2016. To me, he was a very tough professor. I tried very hard to stay up late at night to study until I'm done, but I still got a D at the end and did not understand anything. I'm not sure if my thinking was right but if you take him, be extra careful. Good luck with his class if you need it. Thanks for reading
Dr. Ali is an amazing professor. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves, or just doesn't even attempt to workout the problems. I'll be honest and say that I could of had studied more and still made an A on this class. Don't believe those who say he's hard; he's funny, amazing, and genuinely cares
Awesome. Professor Ali gave everyone tons of extra credits to earn an A. Very easy professor. I would definitely take him again.
This professor tends to give lectures in the ULC so he does not grade anything other than tests. His example are no where near as has his exams. He has a heavy accent that make it hard to understand his lectures.
Easy 100 take him for intro to thermal fluid
Prepare for group projects. Abul gives powerpoints every class. Nice teacher. Highly recommended. Take his class since he's very nice
Great instructor! UTEP is the best Engineering university in the US
Dont take him. Did not understand much after the end of the semester. Got a D
Someone in the UTEP ME dept is trying to troll all of us. Check out all of the department's professor. They all have the same reviews. like word for word. Dont take Ali. Take class at epcc. hate the guy. If i could rate his baldness, 9.5
Abul helped me and everyone get the 100 that they need. You don't need to fight hard for his class since he's there for you. Nobody could drop his class easily. UTEP is surely the best university in the US. Highly recommended!!!
Abul Ali teaches Intro to Thermal Fluid. I like the way he teaches a lot. He covers everything thoroughly and made sure everyone understand the materials. If not he'll repeat it again. He'll come to you to help you anytime.
The semester has ended but I still remember everything he covered. He is a great teacher. Great experience through this class. Nobody could drop this class easily since he's a great teacher. He is a great one. Highly recommended!!!
