Dr. Reza was very knowledgeable and in depth professor. He has a very kind heart with passion for the students. He always readily available to help students.
I took his class in Spring 2014 and really impressed with his teaching style. He is easy going and very comfortable to talk to. He encouraged questions for the students. He is very through to the topic and seems like he knows his stuff. Very passionate teacher. Highly recommend his classes.
Very passionate teacher. Highly recommend his classes.
Dr. Reza was my inspiration. Learned so much stuff. The best teacher @ DSU. He is very passionate about his students. Readily available to help at any point. He brings in new ideas and stuffs every day and he has an addictive way to teaching that you cant be bored. I would highly recommend his class.
Very good professor, would take again. He is really good to talk to and will be there for you when you need help.
He's willing to help you and repeated everything to be clear.
dr. Reza is an awesome professor, he's helpful and funny and interactive. Very much enjoyed this class.
I took a non-major biology course with Dr. Reza and it was phenomenal. Reza is one of the best professors I ever had a class with. He teaches from his heart and knows his stuff. As a non-major since student, I had no interest in biology/science but I got out of the course with an A, and everything was possible for Dr. Reza.
He's not clear what kind of answer he wants on his test. When we go over what's going to be on the test in labs he answer's our questions. When we take the test are answered are still wrong because he wants more for the answer. His lectures are unclear. He needs to put only what we need to know on his slides and nothing else.
Tests did not reflect the material taught in class.
Good course would recommend it to others.
Overall a good class, just wish the test were more similar to the notes.
Pay attention in class and study a bit for each test and you will enjoy his classes. He is fun easy going and laid back but does expect you to put in some effort. Overall enjoyed his class!
Enjoyed his class. He will provide you a lot of info in a very easy manner. Interesting person to interact. Has a true passion for teaching and cares for his students
Dr. Reza is brilliant when it comes to knowledge about subjects pertaining to wildlife. However, his lectures are difficult give much attention. He has a habit of reading from powerpoint slides, and although out of his control, his accent sometimes complicates a concept that would otherwise be easy to understand.
Gives pop quizzes, not many tests, but is extremely helpful. Wants you to make an A.
Easy A
Dr. Reza is an awesome professor! He is very helpful to students, and he helps you understand the material. He is not a tough grader, and takes into consideration of your thoughts and wishes. I would definitely take his class again!
The pop quizzes aren't too weighty, and there is only one long paper due at the end of the semester. It is a pain though.
I really enjoy Dr. Reza's class. It's always fun and interesting.
Great teacher. I really enjoyed his class
He's great
It was a good class overall
Dr Reza Is a great teacher I enjoyed having him as one of my professor!
Good class
I enjoyed dr. Reza and he made science a lot more simpler for me
You may get lost in technical terms during lectures or labs, but if you ask him to clear the, up for you, you'll usually get it the second time through.
Dr. Reza is a nice professor and he will help you out if you need help.
Overall a good professor and a great class with interesting subject material. Be warned, the accent proves difficult at times.
Dr. Reza is real cool, gave good lectures and joked with us. Actually learned things.
He is a good teacher who knows what he is talking about and students respect that.
Mr. Reza is a lively person that really enjoys doing his lectures. e tries to make the class fun and not so hard for us non-biology majors.
Would've like more lab activities involving animals, live or dead.
Reza always had good class discussion. Most of the students in the class were there because their major was environmental science, so many questions were posed and Reza could always give good feedback. The field trips were not on the top of the list because there just wasn't a guided tour of some sort for Dockery Farms.
He's great!
Very personable teacher. A hands on teacher. If you put in effort he will notice.
Didn't like biology but he made the class more fun to like. Will take another class under him.
Goes out of the way to make sure students understand the lecture. He is very nice. He make biology easier by breaking it down further.
He's a good teacher and help us to understand. He interacts with every student and help each one to achieve goals in class. Respectful.
Mr. Reza is very understanding and patient with his class, always willing to give anyone the opportunity to excel in his classroom. He doesn't believe in leaving anyone behind and leaving a lasting impression!
I have learned so much in this class and it has been fun actually learning. Biology is my favorite subject and having Mr. Reza as a teacher made it much better. I would definitely take another course under Mr. Reza and I would highly recommend students to take his class. By the time you leave you will have great understanding and pure knowledge.
Dr. Reza is a very helpful instructor. He makes sure you have learned something everyday we have class, he don't move on until we have the concept in our head. Great instructor
I enjoyed his class so much!! He is very caring and he always makes sure everyone understands the material. Very fair and nice teacher. I would strongly recommend taking his classes.
Dr. Reza is a great teacher with a great attitude. He really cares about his students, and he will help you out. He is very understanding, and he is an enjoyable teacher.
Explains very well, takes time to make sure everyone understands it, and seems to enjoy his job very much. His tests are very hard
Dr. Reza is a wonderful professor that we have here at Delta State University. I enjoy his course, he has a great way of making his lectures fun and interesting. We do a lot of hands on activities during lab and that provides a better learning strategies for most of us. He is also very helpful and understanding when we need some extra guidance.
Best teacher ever!
Dr. Raza said, "I am not going to force or beg you to learn, I want you to want to do it". I think that is how it should be. Dr. Reza was always there and always willing to help his student's in whatever way he could. I respect him as a teacher, and I am thankful I had the opportunity to study under him.
I love Dr. Reiza
His lectures are understandable and caring to his students.
Dr. Reza is a great teacher
Great teacher who seems to really enjoy teaching this topic so it makes it more enjoyable for the students.
Great Teacher, Works with you.
The class is great. I would recommend the class
Great teacher, would take again
He is awesome!
I really enjoyed this course and this professor. I learned a lot while not being overwhelmed by tests and assignments
HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. HE WAS THERE TO HELP IF THINGS WERE DIFFICULT.
Overall like his class.
Dr. Reza is one of my favorite professors that I have had throughout my entire college career. I will miss him, and his class after graduation!
I really enjoyed having him as a teacher. He was a very fun professor and willing to help you as long as you would ask. He made sure you had everything you needed before a test, and made sure you knew what you were going to be tested on.
Good teacher, pop quizzes are pretty easy. test are over the previous cahpters.
Good teacher. Would take again
I really enjoyed Dr. Reza's class.
Dont wait till the last day to study for the tests
I enjoyed my time in Mammology with Dr. Reza. However, I feel as if the course would be more enjoyable if the knowledge covered wasnt so broad. The level of difficulty was high for me due to the fact that I have no background knowledge about wild life. I would recommend his course to people with interests in wildlife and nature.
Lots of memorization
Dr. Reza is great. I enjoy his class. He graded fairly and was very good to my class.
A lot of information for the tests.
Dr. Reza is great!
Dr. Reza is a good, fun teacher who has taught me a lot and I appreciate learning more about birds.
Great teacher and really caring guy!
Great teacher but be prepared to work and read.
I had never taken Dr. Reza until the BIO 490 Capstone class. I quickly found that he was very easy to talk to and I enjoyed going to his class. We discussed a lot of interesting scientific topics and I learned a lot! am already signed up to take one of his other courses next semester.
hes good and funnt but you need to pay attention all of his tests and quizes come directly from his powerpoints in class
He is a professor that knows the material is dry, but does his best to make it interesting to learn. Anyone that tries to make the students like the material is someone I would recommend again.
Dr. Reza is funny and down to Earth! He pours his heart out in lectures and inspires his students to travel!
great teacher, allows you to do extra credit.
great teacher, this class inspired me and I learned so many new things. I'm looking forward to having more classes in the future.
Dr. Reza, teaches a variety of classes and I would recommend students to take his classes.
Do not procrastinate about studying. A field or literature based research is due before finals also.
He is an amazing teacher!!
Grades hard on the discussion questions on tests. Hard to get a perfect score on them
He constantly changes due dates which makes it hard to keep up with when things have to be done.
Amazing and fun
Fun class. Easy-to-follow lectures
Great teacher. Always is wanting to help you out. Test are a little difficult. Ive taken him every semester here and will continue to.
I took his mammalogy class and was successful in his class. He is always available to help a student and works with your schedule. He has fun with the class and I would take another class with him.
Dr. Rezas pretty interesting for a professor. Hes willing to explain information several times and loves talking with his students. Just study for the exams a bit more, and make sure to ask him specific questions if you need to.
As long as you pay attention in class and don't procrastinate ,you should be able to get a good grade in the class but if not it can be really hard. Dr. Reza will help you if you need it so ask questions if you have any! don't wait until the last minute.
I consider myself skilled at cramming the night before the test, but this class requires continual studying throughout the semester
I love Dr. Rezas class. Very informative.
Great teacher! Super understanding and caring!
Informative course. Professor knowledgeable on criteria and consistent on helping students with feedback and suggestions.
Fantastic teacher, loves to joke and have fun. I felt very welcomed in his class and I would recommend him to anyone. It was a nice change of pace from the strict boring teachers I am used to.
Dr. Reza is a good teacher.
very fun class and i learned alot
Dr. Reza provided many articles, and we had guest speakers that would present these papers to the class. We wrote papers based off of what we learned in class. The articles were on various topics, but all dealt with biology/chemistry. Dr. Reza graded the papers in a timely manner, and he gave us plenty of notice for all assignments.
We did not have many class meetings, but he was always noticeably happy while teaching, and makes us more invested in the class because of it.
There was not much Dr. Reza asks of you. So I think the work load is reasonable and not too difficult.
Dr. Reza is a straight-forward guy; it's evident from the first day in his classroom that his goal is not to fail you, but to genuinely help you learn. Every question I have ever asked him over email was always answered aptly and his answers are generally sufficient for the subject matter.
Though there is quite a few reading assignments, the correlated assignments are quite easy. Overall, great class.
Dr. Reza has been nothing but helpful and understanding of my situations. I would highly recommend taking him for any class or having him as an advisor.
Dr. Reza 10/10
This was my favorite class to take with Dr. Reza. Very informative and would take it again.
He is my favorite professor at Delta State University.
Good teacher
I follow the instructions to the finest detail. Then, when the assignment is complete he states it is incorrect. I am a good student based on my other classes and teacher relationships so he is obliviously he is the issue. He also shared a private email with the entire class without my consent. I do not think he is a good professor at all.
Patient, dedicated, and a kind personality
Great professor! Her doesn't require much just do your best
You write a lot of papers but its usually never more than a page or two!
Dr. Reza really loves his country and wants other to be inspired by Bangladesh and he knows his scientific papers.
Dr. Reza is a great professor! He cares about the well being and success of his students; in this day and age that is very rare considering professors have the mind set that their class has to be impossible or the hardest class students will take! Dr. Reza sets his class up in a way that students actually learn!
Always seems happy to be there and hang out, which makes class more interactive. Doesn't really do feedback or rubrics on assignments (at all) and has the most inflexible and unforgiving late policy of any teacher or professor I've had in my life, but assignments are very well explained in the description with fair due dates.
Wasnt a horrible class. Was a bit unorganized but thats because it is the second time the class is being taught.
Definitely a great professor!
Lots of PowerPoints were done and not enough interaction with students. This made the class a little tedious.
Dr. Reza is a very helpful, understanding, and caring teacher. His classes are very interesting and easy to succeed in if you pay attention and participate. He is very willing to help any chance he gets.
Dr. Reza is always open to help. He always answers questions to his fullest ability. He makes subject relatable in a sense sometimes. He makes learning fun and more exciting. The tests are sometimes difficult, but if you use the book to study, you should do extremely well!
He is a very caring professor. You can tell he want us all to succeed. His class was very fun. I took him for ornithology and that class was also fun.
Dr. Reza is the best!!
Dr. Reza is an amazing teacher. He makes class and lab enjoyable, and he always keeps his lectures interesting. Specifically for this class, he has such a passion for mammalogy, so it was extremely interesting and enjoyable.
Always appears happy to be there. I was always learning something when I was there.
Dr. Reza was great. He is very nice, just do your reading, and you will be fine. Make sure to look through his files at the beginning of the semester.
He is so nice and understanding.
Dr. Reza is very kind and helpful. He makes sure everyone understands the material and assignments. Hes very talkative and make sure everyone is comfortable to speak about their personal life.
Dr. Reza is a caring teacher who goes the extra mile to make sure students are prepared and understand class material.
Is a good teacher and is very understandable.
Beware of pop quizzes
Beware of pop quizzes.
Beware of pop quizzes. Dr. Reza was super nice throughout all semester!!
He's a really chill professor but will still expect the best from you
Very interactive with class so he asks students lots of questions in class. Personable with students. He likes to know students interests and how he can help make the class better. Flexible with moving assignments if the class needs more time but NOT flexible if you miss an assignment. Does not accept late work. Doesn't give a lot of feedback.
Great professor. Easy to talk with and change the schedule around to meet the students need.
Dr. Reza is an understanding professor and makes sure everything is taught well to our knowledge.
I enjoyed the class, however toward the end of the semester the powerpoints were getting fast. What I mean is there was less time actually going over the content and just felt like a crash-course and kind of hard to follow along with. The professor was also very nice and helpful when it came to helping his students.
He is very kinda and willing to work with you throughout all of his courses.
Around 6 pop quizzes per semester but one grade is dropped. Tough grader on papers but gives good amount of feedback to make adjustments. Takes attendance everyday and notices when students are not in class. Very caring about responsive with personal issues. Does not accept late work.
What is expected on assignments is a little unlcear
Students should take into consideration in turning assignments in early because he does not take any exceptions at all .
Great professor! He really cares about his students and their academic success!
Be prepared for quizzes, do not miss a class attendance is important, study, and ask questions !
I really liked this class.
He was a great teacher and made everything easy
love this professor, honestly wouldn't have half the motivation I do without him.
