OMG, I could not understand one word. His accent was sooo thick. He made the whole class feel stupid if they asked a question. He is not helpful at all. He does not answer your questions. I would not recommend him. I've had better calculus teachers.

He is the worst instructor I have ever had. He belittles the students when they ask questions, he mumbles, he stands directly in front of what he is writing on the board so the students cannot see. His "just here for the paycheck" attitude is ob

I can honestly say that I have not learned anything this semester. He is very unclear, unkind, belittles his students, falls asleep during class and mumbles. I would avoid him at all cost.

DO not take this teacher! He does not explain anything, he is totally full of himself. Very smart guy but TERRIBLE teacher. I did not learn ANYTHING in his class..

he sucks! hes not consistent and he does make you feel like youre dumb.Hes not prepared sometimes.He seems like hes only doing this because he gets paid.he calls himself the super commander. Makes us do HELLA homework but doesnt even take the time to grade it, which can be good, but annoying as hell

4 exams + 1 final (2 of the lowest are dropped) w/ notes, no graded HW, no quizes; expects you to understand, BUT he DOES NOT explain ANYTHING, heavy accent, belittling of his students, arrogant... you'll have hell and regret when you do the 2nd semester class- trust me I know

If you want to actually learn...DO NOT take his class!! Abdul doesnt clearly explain anything! I asked him a question in class once. He said I would never know the answer unless I got smart and used my head. He makes you feel stupid. Its not right! Abdul you stink!!!! BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

This teacher sucks! Do not use him. He barely speaks English, doesn't explain what he's doing, mumbles, and is rude. This is a waste of your time. Choose Mr. Etgen instead! He is a great teacher. Mr. Abdul sucks.

I taught myself statistics. Stats is the easiest class at AR, so it doesn't matter what teacher you have. Take it with Abdul and don't go to class. Just bring your calculator to the tests and chill in the OTC. ~Former Tutor

his grasp of the english language is horrible! he is very hard to understand. i tried to quote something from the text book to answer his question and he told me not to go by the book because it was wrong and he was right!

This guy is so full of himself. He is so lazy. He just sits in class and tells us to do problems. He doesn't even know statistics and expects us to know it inside and out. He sucks so much . It is better to not take statistics than take it with this guy.

I don't know how this guy got his degree. Abdul can't even speak english. Man he is like work work stat know easy easy. What the hell. He can't even do basic problems right. So called Dr. Abdul should get fired. I hope every goes to Mrs. Jones and get this guy fired.

I don't know how he even manage teaching at a college. He doesn't help at all and always try to make student feel dumb. He thinks that he's only joking but it's not funny. He needs to find another job. Teaching isn't his best skill at least not here in College.

We would spend hours on why a number multiplied by zero would equal zero. He wasn't helpful, and I didn't learn anything.

His guy is horrible. I have to wait another semester before transferring to University of Southern California now because of this guy.

I have completed over 50 units and abdul was by far the worst teacher I've ever had!!!

i had to stop showing up he sounds **** all the time

This teacher needs help. He talks softly and when he does talk loud enough for you to hear, his english is so bad that you still cannot understand him. He acts like hes stupid.

The worst instructor I have ever had. This guy should give it up. Nasty to students, let's you know he does not care about teaching... Do not understand why he is allowed to continue teaching. Bad Rep for ARC....Final was 40% of grade!

Teacher was bad, did not learn anything. Only good thing was that i failed every test and the final and somehow still got a C. He passes everyone

no hw is collected only two tests and a final...thats all ur grade is based on, hard class for me, i ended up in confusion and anger...but he's funny

He is unclear, confusing, hardly speaks English!!! I haven't learned a thing, if anything I am more lost! He is cocky and thinks he is all-knowing, DON'T TAKE HIM!!

can't understand him, thich accent

VERY confusing!!! He was nice and at times funny, but extremely hard to understand. The good thing was that there was never any homework and we got to use notes on the test, but the tests were SOOO hard.

horrible teacher...dont take him..worst teacher ive ever taken.

IF YOU TAKE ANY ADVICE, TAKE THIS...DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!! HE IS THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD! FALLS ASLEEP IN CLASS. DOES NOT DO ANY EXAMPLE PROBLEMS. HE NEEDS TO GET A DESK JOB SO HE DOES NOT HAVE TO HELP ANYONE BUT HIMSELF.

Different than other professors. Seems to know his subject but can't present the way so you can understand it. No homework, no quizes, just 4 tests at the end of semester. Does not care if you come or not. Hard to learn anything from him.

This teacher is not very good at all. His like always say common sense in his student especially I didn't learn anything in his class also we finish the book like 3 weeks before school is done and we dont do anything. I'm not gonna recommend this teacher for you:-(.He like to change the topic in the book.

Terrible teacher!

This teacher writes everything in Arabic style right to left which makes it hard for Americans to comprehend. He plays on the internet. This teacher talks endlessly about his invention on oil spills. He is disrespectful to students. He speaks broken English. He cannot facilitate group work, and has no control of the classroom.

He gave me my first F ever. I went into the Final with a c+ and got an F in the class. He only does 4 tests and drops the lowest score then the final that is not accumulative and that is what your grade is bassed on. He writes from left to write and has an accent that is hard to understand. sometimes you can barely here him talk. I went to his clas

This is the worst math teacher I've had at AR. He does not explain anything, just does proofs of theorems and you have to figure out the rest. Dont waste your time unless you like teaching yourself. Also, he finished the text 6 weeks early, the rest of the time he just sat there, did not review for the final, nothing. Complete waste of time.

He is the absolute worst teacher i have ever taken in my life. He calls his students stupid whenever we ask a question, he is unhelpful and you can not understand him. The entire class i just fely extremly put down and i had to constantly go elsewhere to find help. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Worst teacher ever. Seriously, do not take this teacher. I had to teach myself Calculus because he is completely unwilling to help any of the students. While I may have received an A in the class, that's because the tutors in the LRC helped me. I even went to the dean about this teacher because he is literally that bad. AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS!

horrible teacher. im good in math but i barely got a C in his class. mumbles nonsense all class long, hates it when someone asks a question, and gives you a pretty hard exam with topics he never talked about. The good thingis no homework anad only 4 exams (which is pretty much all your grades)

He didn't answer questions clearly, his tests were worth 50 points, with 10 questions, each worth 5 points. No partial points on questions. He used scantrons for tests and didn't look at your work.

You do not have to give effort. Super nice dude will pass everyone. He knows college students are very busy and does his best to give basically no work. (you can just bs the class)

Nice and funny guy however as a teacher he sucks. He goes off on tangents for the craziest of things for hours at a time, such as curing cancer. His lectures and problems he does in class do not relate to the book he uses AT ALL. When you ask him for help he just looks at you and expects you to understand it, does not explain anything. Do not take!

Pro: Nice guy. You can use notes and test are multiple choice. Cons: He doesn't do examples at all. He teaches formulas and how he got the formulas, but doesn't teach how to use them or what specifically they're used for. If you're like me and need examples hes a no go. He also likes to contradict himself. Overall lots of problems I cant fit here.

He doesn't cover thing very clearly and never really bothers to explain things. Not a professor I'd take again.

Only take Dr. A if you already know what he is supposed to be teaching you. He does not teach. He got going on his lecture so fast, he started doing calculus in an algebra class.

This professor was not my cup of tea. He has preassigned all homework and it's given in the syllabus. Sounds good at first but that makes it so much harder especially because he doesn't collect it regularly, only if someone mentions it. The tests use a scantron. I hate that, no half credit andthey are 100 pts and only 10 Q's very easy to fail.

Expects you to know material before you even start the class. I asked about PEMDAS and he jumped me for it. Not very helpful, as said by other students "self proclaimed dictator". I took the class to learn not to be humiliated in front of the class. This site is very useful, read other blogs as well. Not recommended, will never take his take him.

He only derives the formulas, and does not actually teach how to use them. First test, class average was 52%. He says math is easy and the tests only take 10 minutes to do. It's only true for him. Does not follow the book, but also does not look at the homework too closely.

The worse math teacher I had so far. Lecture are confusing and fast. He shows you steps on how a formula relates to another formula, but you have no idea what that formula is used for. He skipped over an entire concept that was on the test and if I didn't independently studied, I wouldn't have known. He has a thick accent too.

This is the WORST teacher ever. I can't understand a single word he is saying. He is rude and calls his students out in front of the class. Class and material are easy if you already know it. But he is just unbearable.

Doesn't give homework or assignments. Very ambiguous as far as test material goes. Instructions aren't clear. Huge ego. Doesn't care for your success. Tries to make jokes and only offends people, aside from not being funny in the first place. If you value your education don't take this professor

He's really annoying, you can't understand him. He's rude as well. He tries so hard to be funny but is actually rude. Even said he can drop us and we have to use detergent with no scent which was annoying and stupid.

Horrible... I'm in his class and I have no clue on how he teaches still.. And we're five weeks in. If I could I'd drop this class without a W. It's too late for me. And he is rude. He makes your private talks in public rather than staying after class. He leaves before you can even finish packing up. He just doesn't care!

Terrible experience. Possibly the worst professor I've ever had. Isn't clear about anything. Also doesn't give any due dates which throws off how you work on your assignments. Would not recommend. In fact, avoid at all costs.

Dr. Abdul is great at math, but not good at teaching math. His philosophy, which he openly stated in class, is that if you aren't smart enough to learn the material on your own, you shouldn't be studying math. He insulted students and created a fear-filled classroom where students were were too afraid to ask questions. Avoid him.

He's someone that understands the material, but very poor at explaining how to solve problems. For the past 3 weeks he just has students do homework problems in class and then falls asleep at his desk and when someone asked why his answer was different to the one in the back of the book his response was "So what" Probably the worst teacher I've had

This class material is not hard. The teacher makes it hard because he does not teach. HIs lectures are strictly providing formulas and copying them down. Highly theoretical. He will chastise students for asking questions during lecture. He provides poor examples and gives the incorrect answers. all tests multiple choice no credit for work.

by far the worst college professor I have experienced. I If you have a hard time with math do not take him! even if it fits perfectly in your schedule, wish i listened to the reviews here. Rude, impatient, makes you feel dumb for asking questions, doesn't use the textbook, doesn't give homework to help you understand, unclear, shouldn't be teaching

The worse professor I've ever had in my entire college career. Lesson prep -Copies from book and writes expressions on the board, that's it -Expression examples aren't clear -Doesn't help students understand formulas clearly -Strikes up personal conversations unrelated to mathematics while solving formulas -Leaves class early -Ladies, he is gross..

He may know math but he cant teach. He goes very fast and it is impossible to learn anything in his class. You basically need to teach Calc 3 to yourself. Avoid.

He is unbelievably good at math. But when it comes to teaching, he is sorely lacking. He tells you that your wrong incorrect in the rudest way, and it can be humiliating. He tries to have a sense of humor, but it comes off as purely insensitive(and I like dark humor.) He gives you a free link for the text book for homework but never teaches from it

Its easy to get a bad grade on his exams, because each exam is only 20 multiple choice questions. Lots of homework. He doesnt use any technologies so its almost impossible to contact him. To know your grade you have to ask him because he keeps it on his paper.

Exams are multiple choice but pretty hard because answers are very similar to each other. Teaching is mostly done through lectures so you have to show up, he doesnt take attendance. You most likely wont learn anything though

I had this class last year. Even I received an A, I highly recommend you don't take this class. The professor is a very easygoing person and he tells lots of jokes. But when it comes to lessons, he is never clear on the materials taught in class. To understand lessons you should search online and watch many videos to fully understand it.

Horrible teacher. Doesnt explain what hes doing. Its like teaching yourself math. I need a teacher because Im not the best at math. If I could drop out and switch to a different professor I would. He stresses me out. He is not prepared what so ever. You are sitting on zoom for a good 20 min before he starts.

On each test he gave there were obvious incorrect answers. Since it was math there was only one correct answer yet the answers set as the correct ones were clearly wrong. When I addressed it with him he said he would check it out and did absolutely nothing. He was super difficult to understand in the lectures, even the subtitles didnt know.

Abdul is a horrible lecturer: he copies straight from the textbook during lectures and simply answers questions terribly. He would constantly give attitude to students asking questions. Tests were sometimes pretty difficult, but they're multiple choice . Rather than using lectures, use Professor Leonard on YT to learn material, and you'll pass.

I took his online class and he is not helpful instructor. He does not care about students at all, He does not communicate with students even if you need help. exams does not mach with textbook. you need to learn by your self. I do not recommend Alisher Abdul to any body whose major is Mathematics. please go take someone else who know pedagogy.

Graded on the top two tests out of four total. Lectures are hardish to follow and I had to use a lot of outside lectures. Would not suggest taking this class unless 100% necessary.

I would not recommend this prof if it's your first time taking this course (you won't learn anything fully). His lectures are confusing and his tests only includes the basics (you won't be ready for math 401 or the next courses). Outside resources come in handy when it comes to studying for his class.

NEVER TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR. He doesn't care about his students. He doesn't care whether you pass or fail. He has no interest in helping you if you're struggling. His lecture videos were broken. His syllabus information was incorrect. Answers on his quizzes were wrong and had to be corrected by students. Worst online course I've ever taken.

He reuses lecture videos from the past and they are just the worst quality. There's a lot of homework to compete, but you until the test to turn it in. There are twenty questions on the exams and they're fairly easy if you understand the concepts. Overall, his lectures were not helpful at all and I had to rely on the textbook and other resources.

the worst asynchronously online class I've ever had. pointless & dilettante video lectures. He doesn't check the correctness of yr HW. U R responsible for yr self-teaching which is very very tedious, and time-consuming. If you want to challenge yourself & have free time, go ahead. Otherwise, don't even think of taking his online class.

Professor is unreachable and has no interaction with the class except to auto grade assignments. His lectures online were unreadable and hard to understand. He needs to revamp the way he does his class or find another job.

Absolutely no help did not even make an assignment date for homework, we are 7 weeks into the semester and closes homework before releasing the test. None of the students can figure out how to do the homework. Do not take this class thinking it will be an easy A, I'm just praying to pass.

Highly do not recommend taking him. He's 0 percent involved in the class. His lecture videos are super old and filmed on a very old camera. You essentially have to teach yourself in this class.

If you have to take his class, I'm so sorry. This is the WORST math professor ever. Lectures hard to understand, he never followed his own syllabus, no due dates on any assignments and exams are worth majority of your grade and are difficult to solve cannot use any outside sources. We made a discord to survive his class, I suggest you do the same.

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! One more week til the semester ends, and the very start of the class he does not follow HIS OWN SYLLBUS! Gave us chapters 1 and 2 homework, never got chapters 3 and 4 until AFTER the midterm which was on chapters 1,2,3, and 4. Doesn't respond to students, and his exams are super difficult!! DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!

Professor himself is so nice, but the workload is absolutely insane. The lectures did not match the homework, and was just not good at teaching it to you. He was more so talking to you like someone who has already graduated. Had to get tutoring 2-3 times a week and a passed by the skin of my teeth. Hw was 12 parts for one question, w 8-24 question

Shows little to no interest in students. Provides all work upfront, includes lectures that seem like he's just reading off the textbook. You have to pay $100 to do the hw on Pearson. Exams every couple months. Might be an easy A online, but it was very difficult to learn anything with him

Horrible professor. This college really hires anyone don't they. He was MIA the entire semester and posted old lectures that weren't very helpful when it came to solving homework problems and exam questions. He never responded to any emails I sent either. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

Professor did not go to office hours, respond, or do anything. He was so lazy that the stuff said Spring 2025 despite having been taken Summer 2025 and his lectures were largely incomprehensible. He's found an infinite money glitch. Is this fraud? I genuinely have no idea how he was hired. Easy if you want an A, but you teach it all to yourself.
