do not take him. What he says in class, what is in the book, what are on the slides, what is on the handouts is all different so determining the correct answer is very hard. He will say one thing in his office when you talk to him 1on1 and then the answ

You'll do well if you attend class.
Worst professor I've had at UT yet. Half of the time during class, students would correct him and he would say, "It doesn't matter." Well yes it does if you're the one trying to learn the material. Also, he would leave in the middle of class time to take smoke breaks. Really? Come on now. Just bad.
It was the worst experience ever. No one could understand a word he said. Graded very tough. Did not go over anything on exam. And expected us to memorize about 10 long formulas for each exam. Students have to correct him. He does the math most of the time wrong on the board.
Makes material easier to understand
The course was so hard and he did a very good job trying to make it easy and understandable. He explains everything on the board and not just reading off ppt slides.
Explains material very well.
Good teacher the best teacher i ever had at UT .Really funny toO.
Good professor
He tries to be a good teacher but he's not. He grades the assignments easily, but he NEVER announces when a quiz will be! Not every student has time to be prepared every single class for a quiz when there is only one per chapter. The tests are insane too! Avoid
Not so bad
Very helpful instructor. I went to his office many time and he gave a great help.
One of the worst professor at UT. Basically, he's only reading from the slides. He's making the class really difficult for nothing. Avoid him if you can. By the way, DO NOT trust the positive comments about him.
He is not very helpful when it comes to answering questions. The class is basically taught by the book and there are assignments that go with it. Hope you know what you are doing or you may not do well.
He is not very clear when it comes to assignments. If you come to class you will do okay, but he is not very helpful.
Great professor. Knows the material and tries to make it easy for students.
If you take this class online - you're setting yourself up for failure if you do not have an IT background. There are a ridiculous amounts of assignments and tests - and no help - the only help offered is the book - which is none if you do not understand IT.
Horrible Teacher! Don't take him for any class! He may be smart but he should definitely never be teaching students because he is so bad. UT needs to do something about him. If this isn't enough warning not to take him I dont know what is?
Explains material very well. If you attend class, pay attention, and read the material you'll understand the subject very well and get an A. Great professor.
Best professor I've had. Very helpful and willing to help if you show that you care.
I did not understand anything that was taught. He mumbled and did not explain anything with clarity. Do not take. I repeat, do not take
Please, do not take his class. Boring lectures, and doesn't know the material well at all. Reads right off the slides produced by the book's website, also in a monotone voice. Very unorganized and is of no help. If you have to take this class, try to take it online.
Explains well and gives hands-on work inside and outside of class. To do well with this instructor, pay attention to lectures and study material.
Good instructor who makes material interesting by giving a lot of hands-on exercises. I would definitely take this professor again.
Read from the slides, did not know the material like he should have. If asked a question he barely answered it. Need the textbook he says test are based on slides but test include questions that come from the book, also need book for Chapter 7 & 8 project.
He is the worst processor ever. Class is constantly correcting him, talks so quietly and you can't even understand him. Doesn't explain material so the tests are impossible. Avoid at ALL costs! He needs to GO!
I do not understand how there are any positive reviews about this professor. Literally the worst teacher I have had in my whole life. Does not know the material at all. Students correct him numerous times throughout class. I am very upset I decided to take him. AVOID HIM. Seriously UT needs to do something now.
The dude has no idea what he is talking about. He gets corrected on the things he does at least once a class. He mumbles when teaching and stares at the bored so there's never a chance to understand what he is saying. I swear the good reviews are by himself because no one could possibly like this class. Classes with him are only fun if you don't go
This is absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. He does not care about his students. He rarely responds to emails and if you ask for help he doesn't help you. Beware of pop quizzes on the day you learn the material. He makes so many mistakes and it makes students more confused on the material. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR.
Tough to understand, very few points in the class so its hard to make up them if you bomb something. Grades the work hard and not consistently. Marked many of my answers wrong when they were right. Do not recommend.
Very good professor and he explains material on blackboard very well. You will learn and do well in his class if you pay attention and stopped playing on your phone and laptop.
I stopped by the professor's office several times during his office hours and I found him to be very approachable and helpful.
Pitiful professor. Constantly makes mistakes and doesn't explain all while reading from a book. Students constantly correct him, he mumbles and talks in a low monotone voice, and gives you the attitude that you should have known it when you ask a question. STAY CLEAR!
He is boring to listen to and makes me fall asleep half the time. He also gives long tedious assignments and grading them toughly. Worst professor and class I've ever taken.
Enjoyed this course and the professor. I learned a lot and liked that the professor explains material on the board and not just reads from the book or power-point slides. Exams and quizzes are similar to problems worked in class.
Great professor who understands his subject. He explains pp slides very clearly and gives examples to illustrate. The prof gives several hands-on in-class practical projects that are very helpful to understand the material in the textbook. He also gives test reviews that are very similar to actual tests.
Solid professor. I took this class online and did okay, but I'm fairly knowledgeable with IT concepts and SAP. You definitely have to have the book, as some of the assignment questions come from the end of the chapters. Beware that the final exam either has to be taken onsite or proctored, and that the review sheet he gives is useless to study.
Nice professor, made me like the subject. I learned many things in this class.
I think I would learn more from a sack of potatoes. A prison should hire him to teach as a punishment method.
Great and caring professor. He showed a lot of respect for students even for those who didn't deserve any respect.
Im still asking myself how there are any positive comments on this professor. He doesnt answer your questions correctly, I want to fall asleep in his class. He is rude, doesnt care about the students opinions and his assignments are HARD!!!! he does not explain how to do them at all. be ready for impossible quizzes!
Bassam is probably one of the most kind, caring and respectable professirs I have ever had during my experience at Toledo. His knowledge and experience about IT makes him an extremely effective professor. I would HIGHLY recommend him as your professor, please take my class.
By far the absolute worst professor I have ever taken. He doesnt know how to spell. He is extremely rude and full of himself. He doesnt remember what he says from one class to the next. Very nice unorganized. Extremely boring lectures, which is why only about 25% even bothered to show up each class. SPRINT dont walk away from this professor.!!
On a positive note, I am sure he knows the material, however he struggles when it comes to teaching it. Second he says something one class and changes it the next, which leads to unwarranted confusion for students. His assignments are difficult, but its because he doesnt explain. He takes FOREVER to grade things, which is very frustrating
This was the class I dreaded each week the most. I strongly believe a professor and the way they teach the material not only makes the class but also helps to determine your grade. It seemed liked he didnt really want to be there and that we were beneath him. I would probably try to take a more enthusiastic and caring professor.
Expect to teach yourself the material. In class lecture time is spent with him reading whatever was on the PowerPoint slides and no further information. Assignments are easy as long as you follow the instructions. He also doesn't let you use a laptop in the computer-based class, so if you want to take notes, bring a pen and paper.
Does not explain anything. Reads directly off a power point, and no real life examples are given. Homework you better have access to outdated software that Microsoft doesn't even offer anymore, otherwise you will not do well in this class. Also, keep your laptop at home. Computers are not allowed in this computer based tech class!
Not gonna lie, this was my least favorite class to attend out of all my classes that semester. It feels like he doesn't want you to get any higher than a B, even if you read the book TWICE and pay attention in every class and complete all the homework. This class is unnecessarily hard in my opinion. Quizzes are a nightmare, but tests aren't bad.
Excellent professor and gives a good mix of lectures and hands-on work. Attendance is very important if you want to do well. Exams are similar to the reviews that he gives in class and he also explains assignments in class. Expect one quiz for each chapter.
He is extremely rude and he seems like don't care the students. His lecture is long, boring and hard to follow besides that it is very ridiculous that he dosen't allow laptops as an IT class. Please do your self a favor, don't take him. This is the WORST course I've ever taken for my ENTIRE LIFE
Very clear and direct instructor. Everything is spelled out in the syllabus with assignments and quizzes dates and classroom rules. Divides class into lectures and hands-work on laptops. Exams and quizzes are directly from the chapters and lectures. On the way to an A.
Awful professor barely speaks English. Hard grader and doesn't care about you. He stops the class and makes you leave if you are on your laptop or phone. Will put you to sleep every class and is very mono-tone. Avoid this professor he does not deserve to teach.
Most clear and straightforward instructor and class. All class work and requirements listed in the syllabus with their dates. Course gives a good mix of lectures and lab work. Follow course and classroom instruction and youll learn something and get a good grade in this class.
He responded quick and was respectful in email. The assignments and tests were laid out beforehand. There are deadlines but youre allowed to work ahead. He's a slow grader but youre able to make out your grade minus the assignments. Everything was clear and concise with the assignments. I didnt use the book once. Recommend taking his course online!
Not a fan. Quizzes were very difficult and the assignments were confusing. If you asked for help, he'd either make you feel stupid or not answer what you asked. Also hard to understand and is very monotone.
not sure how his class is in-person, but if you're considering taking his course online, make sure to put literally everything in your calendar/reminder app ASAP because a good chunk of his work isn't on Blackboard's calendars and he will not help. My grade dropped two letters on finals week because of assignments I didn't even know existed.
absolutely horrible gives poor feedback no room for error, If you miss 30 out of 1000 points you are unable to get an A got 10 points taken off an assignment for not capitalizing a "c" in the word city, which was completely irrelevant to the assignment
How this man has not been fired bewilders me. absolutely zero communication skills. takes days if not weeks to reply to an email, only to completely disregard the question you asked. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK QUIZES AFTER THEY ARE GRADED, on multiple occasions I had quizes graded incorrectly and had to fight for weeks to get my points back. I'm disgusted
Wow. Professor Hasan, where do I even start. This Professor is probably one of the worst I have taken through the university, and he does not care for students whatsoever. If contacted, he will respond not with help, but with a list of reasons why you shouldnt have any problems. If I could give this man a 0 out of 5, I would. Downright terrible.
Hands down the WORST professor I have ever encountered. DO NOT take his classes and avoid him at all costs. He does not care about his students and does not respond to emails Thursday-Sunday so dont even try him at those times. That leaves three days for any communication. He is a tough grader and will not help you succeed/explain how to do better
Most easy and clear class I ever had. Class material in terms of assignments, quizzes, and tests are posted and open from the first week of classes and you can work ahead. He responds to emails quickly to emails except weekends as indicated on the syllabus. Assignments are very easy after watching the videos posted with assignments.
Probably the most unhelpful instructor I have ever had.
Nicely laid out and structured course. Assignments are straightforward and similar what is explained in the recorded videos. Quizzes are not that hard either.
He is nice and easy. Come to class and youll do well. His syllabus is detailed and clear about classroom policies, course requirements, due dates. Gives reviews for the two in-class exams and online final exam. All assignments and quizzes are available online and submitted online.
Useless! This guy cannot teach his way out of a wet paper bag!! He needs to be fired.
Refuses to answer questions in class (bc its your fault youre wrong). Better off googling it, but not during lecture bc this IT class doesnt use computers. Responds to your emails as frequently as your ex-girlfriend. Youll gain more by talking to a brick wall. Never posted my final grade. Couldnt open MS Office for 20 mins, likes to slam mouse
I like this course and the professor. Assignments are straightforward and thoroughly explained in the videos. Quizzes are straight out of the textbook. He opens assignments and quizzes early in the semester so that you can work ahead of the schedule and it gives more time to do the assignments.
worst professor ever. no matter how hard you try he just don't want to ever cooperate and give you a better grade. takes so many points off for a small mistake. quizzes are super hard and instructions are unclear.
This instructor rarely responds to emails even though he sends out announcements all the time saying to email him with questions. His instructions for all assignments are very unclear. This is one of the few Bs on my transcript due to a mistake in his grading that he couldn't take back after grades were submitted. He even admitted it.
The professor simplified the course material that would've been very hard and made it easy to understand. I learned from him and his course more than I did in any other course. Just show up to class and follow the instructions to do the assignments and you'll do well.
Terrible Professor and terrible class. Take it with anyone else if want to learn anything or if you want to be treated with respect.
Just come to class, pay attention to lectures, and follow the instructions for assignments and get straight A. I am very pleased with my two visits to his office.
I had this professor in 2 classes and he was great in both. Expectations and grading criteria clearly listed in the syllabus. Assignments are detailed with instructions and tutorials; so they are easy to complete. You feel that you learned something from his classes. I'd take this professor for a third course.
Takes the time to explain material well and gives clear instructions to follow when doing the assignments.
Dont know how it has so many reviews. I don't ever do them at all, but one of the most accessible classes ever. Homework assignments have clear instructions, quizzes, and exams he goes over before and posts reviews.
Follow the clear instructions that he gives for assignments and you will do very well in the course. Exams and quizzes are multiple choice and from the book.
I feel I am learning something in this course. Best course I have taken so far. Professor gives great practical assignments with clear and through instructions.
This class was super easy, but the professor was impossible to get ahold of. The bare minimum was done to "teach" the class. Often uploaded assignment walkthrough videos late if at all. Received an A- for only getting a 906/950 (95%) because I didn't reach the 930 threshold after he took a 50 point assignment away because he forgot to upload it.
The assignments given in the class made it a lot easier to understand networking concepts, components, and design. The instructor gives clear instructions and tutorials on how to work the assignments. If you follow the instructions and submit all assignments on time, it is very easy to get an A in the course.
Class is very straight forward. If you follow the directions on each of the assignments you will pass.
Great professor and great course.
Class was INFS 6050. Uses outdated course materials. All tests come from a test bank and is irrelevant to the lectures and books. He is a flexible professor as far as showing up late if you have work but this was a pretty awful class. If your advisor says you need this because there is scripting, there is ZERO scripting.Try and waive it if you can.
This is a nothing class. The quizzes and tests are very easy and irrelevant, and the assignments have very confusing and outdated instructions. It is not worth your time to send this guy an email, he will respond two weeks later when the subject is then irrelevant. Takes off a ton of points for mistakes, and is very distant. Nothing will be learned
Very easy course and instructor. The instructor explains assignments and gives good tutorials to follow. I like the hands-on assignments.
Could have been much harder. Professor made it easy with clear instructions and handouts on how to do the homework.
Class is fairly easy he give you ample amount of time to complete the work, but some instructions can be confusing. He doesn't email back or he takes almost a week to response. Doesn't accept late work rather you emailed him or not. He takes of huge amounts of points for minor mistakes.
I love Dr Betsy Handsome! Such an amazing and intelligent and inspiring and kind and thoughtful and empathic professor! I went to him every time I had an issue and he was eager to listen and offer me tissues when I cried. Work is easy and clear! I love Betsy Handsome
Incredibly easy class, incredibly disinterested professor. If you can learn from reading, the textbook is amazing and I actually feel I learned a lot from it. The professor? Could not be less involved or provide less value to the class if he tried. You could prob cheat your way through, tho i found the material interesting enough not to. Easy A.
The most frustrating part of this class was how long grading took. Assignments often took a very long time to be returned. Directions were also unclear at times. For one assignment, we were told to submit our work for a specific folder, but it turned out to be the wrong one, and I received an F for it when it was his fault. Never again
