the best prof in GCC!!!

he is not the best prof in GCC,but he cares about his students, he doesn't explain very good, but if u ask him, he will work with u, Thank you Ali, you r the best

I really enjoyed attending his class...tests are easy, he goes over the questions prior to the test, doesnt explain very good so you need to spend some time on your own...really recommend him=]

Everyone should take Ali, he is the best. First of all the way he explains is easy to understand. Second his tests are really easy, he goes over everything and then he gives you a test. Trust me there is no homework in this class. Plus he is a really good person. Promise you it is an easy A. What else you guys want??? Right there is nothing else. L

Mr.Ali is a great guy. The class was easy, and he has a great personality. If he wasnt a good teacher why his class is always full? And he is very easy. So just buzz off.

Ali is a guy. I liked him a lot, he is easy going, helpful, and a good person 2. He doesnt put your down like your stupid. I recomend him highly.

simply the best. thank u mr ali

Mr. Ali is the best. His tests are easy. He is a chill guy. He was one of the best teachers that I ever had. I enjoyed going to his class.

In this class, if you don't get an A or B its your own fault! Anyone who says otherwise is just a lazy sack of potatoes. If you keep your book open while he lectures, you'll see that everything he writes down is in the book. So, if you get confused you don't have to ask stupid questions and keep the class behind.

BEST TEACHER EVER. He is very funny, his class is very interesting. Its so easy to get an A in his class. MR. ALI YOU ARE THE BEST BTW I AM IRANIAN too :D

If you actually pay attention to his lectures every single class session, you WILL pass the course. His notes are really clear and yeah he has a bit of an accent, but he explains really well. He's so funny! I absolutely LOVED his class. He is also very willing to help you outside of class till you understand. Wish he'd teach chem 101 :(

HE IS VERY VERY CLEAR AND NOT HARD.GIVES EXTRA POINTS WHICH REALLY RAISE YOUR GRADE.SOMETIMES CURVE THE GRADE. I TOOK CHEM 110 WITH HIM AND IT PREPARED ME A LOT FOR 101. HOWEVER MY 101 TEACHER REALLY SUCKS!!I MISS MR.ALI SO MUCH=[ WISH HE TAUGHT 101.

The best teacher ever, I actually learned in his class, he explains the lesson really good, very friendly , helpful. He takes his time to clarify the lesson . Take him Trust MEEEEEEE , you will learn in this class and get a good grade:)

This is just funny, sounds like someone who never took this class. He covers more than the book and he failed many of us last time but we come back because he is a good teacher and a cool guy. So just take his class before rating him.

Hilarious! He's the coolest teacher ever. He knows what he's teaching...very clear. Don't listen to the previous comments. Obviously you have to work your butt off in Chemistry. ITS CHEMISTRY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I suggest you take him! funny/great teacher.

I just had him for this winter. He is an excellent educator.He lectured and explained everything in 17 chapters of our book. He is one of the few professors who seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching.He answers any question we asked (even if it is dumb!). He knew his stuff and he also knew how to get them cross. If you want a good foundation take him

He is amazing. He is very patient with all his students. He is sincere and has a genuine desire to make sure that everyone learns the subject matter. He is the best teacher I have ever had!

The previous comment is clearly not from a student. If you ever been in Dr. Ali's class,you would now he takes time to explain everything, helps you and makes the material easier. It is probably a looser professor who can't get enough students in his class that is posting this garbage on Dr. Ali. Dr. Ali, we love you, and you are a good teacher!

The best chemistry teacher I ever had. I got an A :)

I just had him for the Spring and I got an A. He is an excellent teacher who enjoys teaching so he it is NOT boring. He knows his chemistry. If you need a good background take him but you need study in order to get a good grade.

He gives a lot of practice problems which helps a lot but I got a B in this class because his tests are very tough. Btw, I studied very hard! Overall he is a very nice person and knows his stuff but this is NOT an easy class.

He is an amazing person. Read the text book before class, take notes so you can refer to while you study. Do all the problems in the back of the book. He is sooooo helpful though. He is there when you need him. He wants you to do well, so ask questions!

Dr. Ali was actually one of very few teachers who took time to explain the problems in detail when we had difficulty to undrstand. He is very helpful, friendly, and his exams are a good mix of hard and ok problems so he never had to curve. He is a good teacher and is great with technology.

He's not bad. He actually takes time to go over problems, and he explains good if you ask him questions and he actually likes it if students ask questions. I recommend students taking him!!!

Dr Jabalameli has been one of my favorite professors yet. He tells you exactly what he expects you to know, gives you plenty of practice, is extremely lenient when it comes to curves, and best of all is always willing to help. Go to him during office hours or during lab for some one on one explanation. He's always willing to do anything to help.

Professor Jabalameli is one of the best chem professors at GCC. He is willing to help and does all possible for his students to pass the course. This is a tough course with a lot of new info so put a lot of time, read the text, do his slide problems and hw problems and you'll get an A in class. Take his class and you won't regret it.

professor ali was by far the best chem professor i have ever had. Chemistry is a touch subject as it is so its not his fault if you can't keep up with the material. He will go out of his way to make you understand concepts and material and he gives you an idea of what he's going to test you on. Overall i recommend him, very helpful !! i got a B

Professor Jabalameni is an alright professor . I love his personaluity so much. He doesnt teach, just slides power point( doesnt explain) and tests were tricky, but he is a fair grader and gives extra points on the tests. Overall, he is okay. I did not regret taking his class

He is a great professor way better than Gellert any day. Explains clearly on things you may not understand and I like how he ask you how are you doing in class randomly which eliminates the awkwardness on talking about your performance in classes.

Do not believe any of these negative comments. Professor Jabalameli is absolutely amazing, caring and helps all of his students all along the way. If u are struggling to to his office hours and I guarantee u he will help and explain in any way he can. His class requires work so ppl complain. Took chem 101 in the summer got an A. Best professor ever

Be prepared to do a lot of studying, his tests are extremely tough; however, they are straight forward, you either get what's going on or you don't. He tries his best to make sure his students understand what's going on, but if you don't speak up when you're confused, you'll be left behind.

He is hands down one of the most caring and understanding teachers At GCC. After a test he sits with students and will add points. HIS english is not the best but he is clear and easy to understand. His test are tough but fair. If u pay attention in lecture his questions are from there. Recommend to not use laptop since its a distraction. AMAZING

Absolutely amazing. He cares a lot about his students, he's very clear & will explain things over & over multiple times until everybody understands. He's super understanding & reasonable & so funny! You can't expect an easy A in a chem class but he makes it as easy & as clear as possible. Just pay attention in lecture. I didn't open the book once.

Hes one of the easiest teachers i've had in college. He literally tells you everything thats going to be on the test, if you still fail after that then you have a problem. If you get less than a B in this class i dont know what to say

Hated him at first, grew to love him. Sometimes he'll explain concepts perfectly, other time he'll tell you to just look in the book. He's very generous with his grading system. Honestly, if you put in any effort at all, you'll be perfectly fine. Don't be too discouraged by his condescending tone, he's actually really great! He does a lot for us.

Prof. Ali is the best. He knows how to explain . He is so caring. He is NOT a tough grader I really recommend him

He is the best chem prof in GCC. Love his class , lecture , and lab

Prof. Ali is an amazing prof . He makes you love chem. Before taking a class with him. I hate chem . So many prof come to his class and watch him how he gives lecture . You are always welcome to ask any question .

I really enjoy being in his class . The best ever

His slide is so understandable. He gives so many examples ang try to explain it so clear

I overall liked the class, but i wish during lecture we were give more problem to work on with the teacher then just slide. But it was still understandable. He tells you what he will put on the test. He is always available for office hours, everyday.

His class was good, but I wish he had worked out some practice problems. His lectures are just him going thru slides so I'd recommend reading the chapters ahead of time so you follow along better. He is forgiving with grading, on both tests and labs. I felt that his tests were slightly difficult due to the lack of problems done in class.

Professor Jabalameli is such a funny guy. I attended every class and got so much out of this class. He made chemistry fun for me. He cares about his students and his lectures are very understandable. Strongly recommend.

Ali is a very nice man and if you study his powerpoint thoroughly, you will do fine. Tests were not bad if you study. Labs were fun and short; however, everyone failed his lab exams. He curved the lab exams but still it was bad lol. Wish he did problems on the board but its all on the slide show Hes a real good guy and wants everyone to do good.

People, who have left bad rating just have never had another chem prof at GCC. He is the best chem teacher I've ever had. He understands, he cares. Take him and don't believe people, who hoped to get an A without doing anything. If you work, you'll get the grade you deserve, even maybe higher than you deserve !

One of the most caring professor's i've ever had. His lectures aren't great, but he knows his stuff, ask and he'll answer gladly. His lab is really fun, I enjoyed it very much. By the end of the semester, he gave so much extra credit that it's basically an easy pass.

Hes the nicest and most caring professor Ive ever had. If you study his slides and do the homework then you should get an A. Labs were always fun and he was more than willing to help. Dont listen to lazy students who expected to pass without doing anything!

I started out with a low C in his class and by the end of the year he gave us extra credit and dropped the lowest test grade and I ended up with an A. First two tests are hard but he changes it to MC and practically everyone passes. Labs are easy and fun and always finish early. He really cares about your grade and tries his best to help you out.

Hes the most caring and sweetest professor at GCC. Make sure to pay attention during his lectures and youll do well on the tests. The first two tests are written and the rest are multiple choice. He gives extra credit at the end of the semester which helps with your grade. You wont regret taking him.

Awesome

He was an amazing teacher. He would answer every question without getting annoyed. If you do good in his class and respect him, he will respect you back.

Prof Ali is really nice, his class is an easy B, but hard A. His tests are easy if you study well. Make sure you go back and restudy his slides, that will help. Labs are super short and fun. Don't skip class, and don't leave everything for the night before, and you'll be fine. A lot of people fail due to their own laziness.

Attend the Labs even though they aren't mandatory. An amazing professor. The low ratings he gets on sites like these are from the students that skipped lectures and wondered why their grades were approaching rock bottom so fast.

I took him for Fall 2020 and overall he was pretty good. His labs were not mandatory (if you missed, it was okay). His tests were hard though and he did not give too many study guides for help. There were quizzes and homework but it was simple. Pretty good and nice teacher.

I am not a chemistry person but this professor was the most understanding and caring one I had all year. If you listen to his lectures, then you'll pass the exam. The labs were fun and helped boost your final grade (lab exams were difficult but he rounded them). He is accessible and is always there to answer questions you may have.

His lectures were pretty helpful, but the exams were pretty hard. Even with a lot of studying, there was always a curveball for some of the questions. He is willing to answer and explain questions. Labs were alright. He did round up for many people.

With the pandemic surging, teaching has been extremely difficult for many professors and people might see how this change impacted Dr. Ali. If you have no previous knowledge about chemistry, do not take him!!! Exams are 65% of your grade so if you bombed one, you would need to ace every other one. Weekly quizzes and labs. Sometimes hard to contact.

If you put in effort in the class then you will get good results and Dr. Ali will help you along the way. The lectures are recorded and on canvas therefore you may re view them anytime and Dr. Ali is always available to answer any of your questions and make even during the exams! Have a good attitude in the class and show up during his office hours

I learned so much important information from his class. He provides online prerecorded lectures that go over the material very detailed. He's open to any question and will make sure you got your answer. His tests are heavy, sometimes may be tricky but as long as you watch the lectures and be attentive in his class you'll be fine.

I took this course during this summer and I would recommend anyone who wants to take chem 101, to take it with this professor. Even though it was only labs that were in person, he took the time to lecture during the class to make sure everyone understood the material that would be on the exams. Overall, a very good and solid professor and grader

Ali was a very good professor and I highly recommend him. His online lectures could be tedious at times but he goes over everything. He also provides numerus examples of how to do calculations. If you ever have any questions ASK HIM! He is more than willing to help you go over ANY problem ANYTIME. He tells you everything that will be on the exams.

Professor Ali is an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about his students' success.While the final exam can be challenging, he provides all the necessary materials and information on what to expect, which makes the preparation process much more manageable. fair with his grading and applies a curve at the end, which is greatly appreciated.

Dr. Jabalameli was amazing. He is very generous and understands student needs. His lectures and labs are straight forward. He provides a study guide for each exam with number of questions for each topic no surprises. Study the topics on his study guide for each exam. Questions are conceptual so you need to understand the concepts.

During our summer class, he tried his best to cover everything from the video lectures. Anything that you need clarification on from the video lectures - he'll take questions and explain the concept.

Some reviews claim he is cold or wants students to fail, but these come from the hurt outliers who exaggerate his sarcasm to have a reason to hate him for the grade they deserve. This is a chemistry course, not theatre arts. Overqualified teacher, amazing class, easiest Chem 101 course at GCC. Take my word for it, take this teacher.

Great Professor, be ready to learn and put in effort for a good grade. Should not be to difficult class is well organized and structured. Test are not so difficult, if this is your only science course should be light, but taken with other science courses could get a difficult. Amazing Professor very nice!

Dr. J is a great prof! You're going to realize you actually need to put in work to excel. I found myself using outside resources to grasp concepts (god bless organic chem tutor) and studied A LOT. He's witty and loves sarcasm. It is an organized class with weekly online quizzes. Exam problems are somewhat similar to the material provided to study.

I hate the disrespect this man is getting! He is the most chill person on earth. He's an easy grader and he doesn't hold a grudge on anyone like other professors. I barely worked hard in his class and I still got an A, he's lenient on grading. He curves also for us it was 3 points. You will realize how good he is when you take 102. He's the best!

Professor Ali is very good. I don't understand why students complain about him. Those who complain are simply lazy and looking for an easy A. If you study by watching his videos and taking notes, you'll pass the class easily. He can also improve your grade at the end based on your performance. Take him.

As for the class: If you actually pay attention and watch the lectures and do some practice you will do fine in the class; he explains everything well. Lab work sometimes is heavy but you're in groups all the time so its fine. Questions are welcomed and if you are lucky he'll wrap his arm around you like father and son he's so proud of you.

Super nice! Great teacher, and I highly recommend him. Pro tip; study for his exams from lecture and his quiz questions.

Great guy, he will explain anything you don't understand, you just have to ask. Lab is partner/group based. Tests are based on lectures and quizzes, no made up stuff.

Be prepared to use resources for studying outside what is provided. Four Exams (40% of final grade) weekly quizzes (10%) weekly lab reports (20%) and the final exam was worth 30% of the grade. He's a very entertaining lecturer. The content goes pretty in-depth; good to take if you plan on taking Chem 102. Doesn't let you take previous exams home.

Dr. J is the best teacher I've ever had. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. His lectures are clear, organized. His exams aren't difficult —giving 3 hours for only 30 questions. If you pay attention in class, ask him questions ( he's always happy to answer everything), and put in the effort , and you'll definitely get an A.

He was so nice, I got C but it was just because I didn't study enough, he was explaining everything really well, answering all my questions and was there to help with everything

This professor is AMAZING! He really takes the time to explain everything, goes over exams, and really tries to make his students understand the topic. He's very helpful and caring! He really wants his students to succeed. Definitely recommend him!
