I took Dr. Sleman for Programming and Data Structures. Although my major is Biology so it was a harder class for me to grasp, he was always available to answer any questions I had. He thoroughly reviewed the materials, was understanding and patient, and thorough with his responses. He truly cares about his student's success.
Dr. Sleman is a great professor, but be ready to work hard if you want to succeed! The homework reinforced concepts well. He was very prompt with email replies. I appreciated his expertise and dedication to teaching. If you're willing to put in the effort, Dr. Sleman will make sure you gain a strong understanding of the subject. Highly recommend!
Dr. Sleman is a great professor, but I struggled in this class. Not because of him, but because I had ZERO experience in Java as a Biology major. He was always available for help and truly cares about his students. I definitely would recommend him as a professor.
Simply incredible. My first professor
I took Dr. Sleman for Programming and Data Structures. As a Biology major, the class was challenging for me to grasp, but he was always available to address any questions I had. He reviewed the material thoroughly, was patient and understanding, and provided clear and detailed explanations. He genuinely cares about his students' success.
Dr. Sleman is an exceptional professor who truly stands out. His dedication to his students is unmatched, always making himself available to answer questions with patience and understanding. He explains concepts with clarity and ensures that everyone grasps the material thoroughly.
Dr. Sleman's passion for teaching and genuine care for his students' success make him one of the best professors I have ever had. His commitment to excellence is inspiring, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding educational experience.
Dr. Sleman is, without a doubt, the best professor at LSUA. He is incredibly knowledgeable in all areas of computer science, making even the most complex topics easy to understand. His depth of expertise is matched only by his ability to connect with students on a personal level.
Dr. Sleman is not only the smartest professor I've had but also the most understanding and patient. He genuinely cares about his students' success, always going the extra mile to ensure everyone feels supported and confident in their learning journey. His dedication and brilliance truly set him apart.
Dr. Sleman is very clear on what to expect. If you take the quizzes, utilize the study guides/powerpoints, and do the practice assignments, an A is highly attainable. He is very responsive. It's not an easy class but with a little work you can do well. Quizzes give many attempts to make a 100 so use that to your advantage.
The class was very straightforward. Read the book so that you understand the Java syntax. Turn in your projects and follow the instructions and get an easy 100 pts. Ask questions before the weekly coding explanation zooms so that he can go over those question for you.
I took CSCI 1250, the class is fairly easy, Dr Sleman does weekly Zoom calls and you can ask questions and get hands on help. A really EASY A, just turn in your assignments and study for your tests, all of the tests are based on the quizzes and assignments (same questions) review/study and you will pass. The only downside is that he proctors exams!
Dr. Sleman is really helpful and holds weekly Zoom sessions, which provide a great opportunity to ask questions. It's definitely a class where you can earn a good grade with minimal stress. The only thing to keep in mind is that exams are proctored. I've taken multiple classes with different professors, and he is by far the best at the university.
Do the work and you can pass the class. All the information is given to you. If you have any questions, Professor Sleman or Alkadi will not hesitate to answer them. Be sure to watch or attend the weekly zooms. They are helpful.
Great professor who genuinely cares about his students. He explains concepts well, has a fair workload, and takes time to help, especially through Zoom. He's patient and makes sure you understand the material. If you're taking programming, he's definitely a professor you'll want!
No mystery questions on exams due to clear communication about the exam prior. Read the book and take the quizzes and you won't need to study much at all.
Ahmed Sleman is an outstanding instructor who teaches CSCI 4103 Operating Systems at LSUA with expertise and enthusiasm. His ability to explain complex topics like process scheduling, memory management, and file systems in a clear and relatable way makes the course both engaging and accessible.
Professor Sleman is a great teacher! I had him for 1250 and I knew taking him for 2350 would be a great choice. He is very understanding as long as you are willing to put the work in and show all your work.
He is very understanding when it comes to grading and that's a very good quality students wants their professors to have, not as a license for irresponsibly but as a way of compassion. Thank you Sir.
Dr. Sleman made this class super easy to understand and easy to learn, even making sure in his reviews to listen and help. Was super fast with email replys as well as help full in answering questions. I am no computer or tech knowledgable at all, but I really enjoyed learning from Dr. Sleman. Definitely would take him again!
Professor Sleman has a deep understanding of Operating Systems and presents the material in an engaging way that allows students to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications. Overall the course is well-organized with clear expectations and logical progression of topics. He is always willing to help students outside of class hours.
I found Dr Sleman to be available if you needed help or clarification on a point or two. He'd always get back to you within 24 hours and almost always, same day. As long as you don't wait until the last minute for your questions (something I'm trying to break out of doing myself), you could get the help you need.
Very good professor that is very involved in the students learning. Do the practices and come to the lectures and you should be able to make a good grade and learn a lot about programming practices.
Dr. Sleman was an incredible professor. Very good with feedback to students and answers questions thoroughly. Tests are pretty straightforward. Would recommend taking him.
This class was pretty difficult, at the beginning it was rough. However after I started communicating with Professor Sleman, he was able to help me understand a lot of the material. Make sure you read the assign readings and/or ask for help. Understanding the material is crucial for test.
Dr. Sleman is a great instructor. He's very thorough in explanations and the class was well structured.
Expectations are high but he has lots of content knowledge and explains concepts clearly.
Very easy going! Practice, Practice and more practice. This class isn't difficult. Dr Sleman is always there when you need him. Very quick to respond to emails and sets time aside to answer all questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Although I never met him in person, Ahmed Sleman seems like a good professor. He did a great job explaining the material when there was a schedule zoom meeting, he replies to every email in a timely fashion, and he even tried to help me with my person project. In my book, that says a lot.
I thought Professor Sleman was a great teacher. As long as he sees you're trying, he will help you out. All you have to do is ask.
I would take Dr. Sleman again. Class was super easy and I would have made an easy A if i would have applied myself more.
Dr. Sleman offers a very manageable course if you stay on top of the practice. He's extremely responsive and supportive, so if you reach out with any issues, you can expect him to be understanding and willing to help. Highly recommend taking his class.
Dr. Sleman teaching style was clear and supportive, making the material easier to understand even when the concepts were challenging. He was always available for help outside of class and made sure we knew we could reach out if we needed clarification, especially before upcoming tests. He is a professor that truly cares about his student's success
I recommend doing the programming exercises, they helped me a lot and most of the questions off the tests and quizzes are a reference to those problems! Super helpful and easy to reach professor with laid back discussion board posts. Great class, learned a lot!
Cool and chill guy. Will help you if you're honest and ask for it. Highly recommend.
Dr. Sleman was very helpful this semester. The class is test heavy, but once you get the hang of it it starts to come together.
Awesome professor. Reach out to him if you need help, he's great at giving a hand when it's needed.
Very helpful and down to earth, ready to help when you ask, so do not hesitate to ask!
Great professor. Doing the program exercises and quizzes really help prepare you for the exams.
Very great professor, always responses in a timely manner and will help you with any questions or concerns you may have. Would highly recommend
Great professor. Very helpful if you have any questions. The tests were moderately harder than the weekly quizzes, but if you take the time to do the programming exercises throughout, you will do well.
Dr. Sleman is a very understanding professor and a clear communicator. He explains material in a straightforward way and provides all the resources you need to succeed. As long as you put in the effort, you'll be able to pass and do well in his class.
I learned a ton in Dr. Ahmed's Operating System class. It was an accelerated 7 week course and was challenging, especially the week the project was due, but it was a rewarding and informative experience!
Dr. Sleman is an awesome Professor! If you need help with anything, he replies very quickly. He is very supportive and will make sure that you have everything to succeed in this class. I am sad that I do not have anymore classes with him. Thank You again Dr. Sleman. Operating Systems was tough, but you made it manageable!
Great professor
Great teacher. Always available to help with concepts that are difficult.
Dr. Sleman demonstrates a genuine commitment to his students' success and actively works to prepare them for future challenges. While mastering the material ultimately depends on the student's own effort, the course is rigorous and demands consistent engagement. That said, the depth of learning achieved makes the experience highly rewarding.
This was an online class on Object-Oriented Design. I already had experience with OOP through internships and personal projects, but Professor Ahmed was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in answering emails and providing resources!
I took the accelerated 100% online program where each course is 7 weeks long. Because the pace was faster, there was a lot of readings and outside studying necessary for better understanding. Dr. Ahmed Sleman was active and attentive with course work and very easily accessible when questions arise. Very clear instructions on how to succeed.
He was very upfront about what he expected. There were plenty of quizzes/HW assignments that kept the weight of the exams from being overwhelming. The lectures were infrequent but when we did have them I appreciated how many opportunities for participation and questions he included.
Dr. Sleman was awesome. Class work was practical and what you'll need to do in the real world. His grading criteria was clear and fair. There were two textbooks but he provided links to the free online pdf.
Great professor. No issues
Feedback is quick and helpful! Couldn't really ask for better!
I have taken multiple courses taught by Dr. Sleman, and he has always gone out of his way to make sure every student understands the material and gets whatever extra assistance they may need. Overall, he is a truly great teacher.
Dr. Sleman is a very nice professor, he showed a lot of interest in making sure we learn the material effectively. Despite being the professor for some of the toughest courses in the computer science major, his kindness to the students and willingness to help us out makes him a wonderful professor, and I'd gladly take courses with him again.
Prof. Sleman was always available and responded promptly, I truly enjoyed taking his class!
This was a 7-week online course, so my interactions with Dr. Sleman are limited. However, I have had him for two online classes and... + Clearly outlines the course grading criteria. + His tests are based on the textbook material, and he sends a courtesy email suggesting what to study. + Quick to respond to emails. + Quick grader.
Good professor
He explains concepts clearly and always makes sure that everyone in the class understands before he moves on to another topic. He's also quite understanding when it comes other assignments.
I would take him again easy going teacher and very knowledgeable
The overall style and course material was easy to follow and was easy to learn
A very good and respecting teacher who explains the lectures clearly. I would take his class again.
Professor was timely at responding and give good feedback. Very encouraging and want to see you excel in your work.
Dr. Sleman is an excellent teacher. He will take the time to ensure you know the concepts and also does a weekly zoom meeting to go over the material which is a huge help. If you have any questions he will also answer emails. The workload is manageable,the final week is tough and some of the material you will need to search for. Great teacher
Great professor! I would take his class again if I could! Very understanding and will help you if you are in need of help.
Dr. Sleman is a good teacher who cares about his students' success and understanding. He is very responsive to emails, and the course load is not overwhelming. The final week is a lot, but manageable. Any questions or concerns you have, Dr. Sleman will answer with a solid explanation. The zoom meetings are also excellent. Highly recommend.
Good professor. Enjoyed the class. Learned a bit more watching his lectures.
Great teacher!
Good professor!
Great professor, I definitely recommend if you need to take Computer Science courses. He doesn't require much interaction with online courses but take advantage of the online meetings. He explains and works through tough concepts well.
Great professor! Very helpful and answers questions/emails in a timely manner. Decent amount of work but as long as you get it done in time and to the best of your ability, you will do just fine.
This teacher took his time to help you with any questions or concerns, and communicated clearly when assignments opened and closed. Would definitely recommend!
Easy to understand. Really good professor
Dr. Sleman is a very good professor. I look forward to having him again next semester. The work is hard and challenging, but worth it.
Dr. Sleman is knowledgeable and cares about your success. He explains the concepts very well. The class did go from 0 to 60quick in regards to the final project, but it was fairly graded as were the exams. As far as the exams go- if you pay attention to the quizzes you won't have any problems with the exams. 10/10- would definitely take again.
Dr. Sleman is a great professor, he gives additional meetings to help his students understand the material and ask any additional questions.
Dr. Sleman builds his curriculum to ensure you have the foundational concepts down before progressing to larger, more challenging concepts. You will have to work hard to get a good grade, but he is always available as a resource when you have questions or need help.
Good professor, allowed me to complete past due assignments when I was struggling.
Always available for questions and very helpful. I learned a lot and am looking forward to taking another class with Dr. Sleman.
Professor Ahmed is highly knowledgeable. explain all topics deeply and he interacts with each students and always ready to solve our problems. I strongly recommend him for future educational opportunities.
Great class aas long as you apply yourself.
Dr. Sleman is very understanding and takes his time to explain things to make sure that you understand the concepts of the course.
Dr. Sleman cares very much about the student he teaches. He was always willing to help whenever I needed it. He also lays out his expectations in the syllabus, so familiarize yourself with them prior to the class starting and you will do just fine in his class and learn a lot.
Mr. Ahmed Sleman is a great online professor and clearly explains everything. Not only does he respond well to questions and concerns, professor Ahmed genuinely wants to understand what is being taught. I would 100% recommend!
Great professor. Was understanding that we are humans and learning computer science/programming language for the first time. Definitely gave me points for effort many times, which is appreciated because I was never the best coder and sometimes my code wouldn't completely work, but the effort was there and thankfully he saw that. Would take again
Helpful and friendly. Knowledgeable and resourceful. Quick grader.
