Dr. Ahmad is the BEST professor I have ever taken! She inspired me to follow my dream of one day becoming a doctor, and since she is one, she knows all the do's and don'ts of how to ACE this class and build a solid foundation for the rest of your science studies. And if you ever need help, she is ALWAYS there to help you. Take this class!!!!

She will go out of her way to help you understand the topic. If she taught other science courses, I would DEFINITELY take them. Best science professor ever!!

Reading is the better way to learn in her classes. She gives powerpoint and lecture but they are a basic overview. The tests are in depth questions from the book and online Mastering Biology.

This makes all the difference when applying it to upper level classes, if you are a Bio or Pre-Med major. I cannot thank her enough for the help, and support. Wish she taught MORE classes!!!

Her lectures are so tedious and long, she even lectures during lab. You have to read A LOT in order to get what she's talking about. She would put up powerpoints on BB so you can follow along in class, so that helps. Each test is about 4-5 chapters long so it's easy to get a low grade. Read read read.

Professor Ahmad is very caring and genuinely wants all her students to pass. She does a lot of powerpoints in class which can be boring at times but if you don't understand something she is willing to spend the whole class period to explain it. Do your readings and actually do Mastering Biology (not just google answers) and you will earn an A.

To begin with, the professor has an accent. Her class is very lecture heavy and you won't understand much if you don't read the textbook. Not a lot of homework, just mainly reading your textbook. Tests are 60% of your grade so you NEED to study if you want a B or higher. Stay away from this professor unless your okay with a C for minimal effort.

She's very sweet but is so disorganized! She never says when homework/work is due. Skims over chapters and lets the students teach pretty much. There is a test every 5 chapters and a lab every week, those are what your grades depend on. She doesn't answer to any emails or posts anything in blackboard so make friends in the class.

To start off, she has a very heavy accent. If you want to at least get a B or higher you MUST read the textbook. She does offer a few extra credit points but it's not much and it's very rare. She teaches her students as if we were biologist. You definitely need to give yourself a bunch of hours to study if you want to do good in the class.

I took Dr. Ahmad last semester for AP1. I had to put a lot of hard work and studying, and made a study partner in class to help learn the material. Any questions we had were answered, and most of all Dr. Ahmad was there outside of class to help us out. She even offered to meet with us privately to discuss the material. Tons of extra credit also.

Save your time and money. Her lectures are boring and unorganized, always jumping and skipping topics. Be prepared to be called on every class period as well. Shes doesnt give out study guides. You can ask her what will be on the test but its never what she says. Also she takes forever to put in grades, so youll go through the semester blindly.

Dr. Deeba is an amazing professor who cares for her students and makes sure they come out of every class knowing atleast one thing they didn't before they came in. In order to pass you MUST study. she is very helpful and willing to help but you must put your all into it. Testing/quizzes are a big part of her class but if you study, you should be ok

Great professor, she really wants all of her students to pass. She has short pop quizzes but she tells you what materials to study and they help for test. Study power points and review the textbook and you'll pass. Homework assignments are easy just a little long. Take notes about what she talks about in lectures, they'll help you for test!

Okay so she does try helping out, but obviously doesnt try to hard. She deems you responsible for everything especially if youre struggling. This whole transfer to online thing is kinda stressful already and she made it way more stressful than it needed to be. If you fail or do bad on a test you do bad in the class, so bad test takers be aware.

Felt like I taught myself this course (reading, videos, online games, labeling, coloring, labs, etc.), I was frequently frustrated trying to communicate with her, make sure you are very specific answering questions, ask to review your lab and lecture exams in order to get feedback and maybe clarify information, you may also find grading errors.

This professor made A&P 2 more challenging than it needs to be, she was nice, but she gave new lectures the day before the tests including the day before the final exam. Test scores heavily affect overall grades as well. Her lectures can also get confusing, she tends to go ahead of the slides causing info to not be in the correct order.

Avoid this class! By far, the worst professor I have ever had. No study guide, no guidance, dry lectures, and very disrespectful. She is annoyed easily when you ask a question, and she absolutely will NOT go over exactly what will be on the test. During lectures, she tells you to know 1000 things each chapter, yet the tests are 50 questions. AVOID!

I feel Dr. Deeba cares for her students & knows a lot about A&P2 but Stay clear of her, especially if the class is online. The majority/ if not the entire class failed the 1st two exams (60% of your grade). Very little support/ guidance to help you succeed. Test are very difficult and she makes it harder than needed. 1/2 the class withdrew.

Very unorganized, doesn't follow PowerPoint. She tends to start on the topic then talks about something not at all on the PowerPoint. Not very helpful if you don't understand the lecture and expects you to know answers when she asks them. Grade relies on exams (50 q's and 60% of your grade) which don't match what she tells you to study in class.

I thought since this class is half hands on (Lab), it was going to be impossible. But, professor Deeba is well aware and thats what makes her classes great! Make sure you read the chapters, attend the zoom for farthing teaching, and do the exploratory questions, and youll be on your way to success!! Ill never forget this class or professor!!

Online class is different due to the school shutting down. But the class is very detailed and have all the lectures on demand. No reason not to do well if you study for it. Many of these reviews are students who just didn't do the work or get lazy because they want the class given to them due to the online format. Great professor

This professor was just cold hearted. She ignores canvas emails or just vaguely gives 1 word replies.

STAND CLEAR OF THIS PROFESSOR! She does not answer emails accordingly, and this class is based off exams! If you are not a good test taker DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Homework is easy and not alot giving you time to study. The tests are hard it's Anatomy it's always hard. I suggest you do all Homework. The tests for lab study the diagrams and you will be fine. The questions on exams some are multiple choice some you need to know the correct spelling of the Anatomy words to type in. The tests are 55% of grade.

Professor Ahmad teaches a difficult class. In reality, any A&P class you take (I or II) will take a lot of work. However, she is extremely caring and easy to learn from--albeit you put in effort. You don't have to attend her zoom sessions, if you're taking her online class. Absolutely DO watch the recordings, though! She wants to see you succeed.

There are 3 tests with labs which are worh 55% of the grade. If you don't do well on these, you WILL fail the class. HW assignments are long and only worth 15%. She does not accept any excuses for late assignments and does not offer extra credit. Does not respond to e-mails, and if she does it's 2 weeks later. Read the syllabus really carefully.

The test/labs are worth 55% of your grade and you only have Connect Homework. There is no additional work for this course. The tests uses Honorlock and is manually looked at. If you reach out to the professor for assistance, it will be a a hit or miss if she replies and if she does it will not be any help.

This professor is one of the WORST I've ever taken, she is unable to maintain a clear agenda when it comes to her tests, repeatedly provides us with misinformation on her study guides and lectures, and is unable to show up to class on time. We once waited 30 minutes for her to show up, just for her to forget her materials. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

Her study guides don't match the test AT ALL and also it's proctored and not multiple choice. I've never had to write a review on a professor so that says something.

It's crazy how people can rate Professor Ahmad so negatively when she gives students every resource and material they need to succeed in A&P. Don't let other reviews discourage you, she is an amazing professor and cares about you learning the material. 10/10 class, lectures are in-depth but easy to follow, don't procrastinate and read the slides :)

Dr Deeba takes the time to answer questions thoroughly and does her best to ensure the students understand and got their answers. She pays close attention to the students noticing when a topic needs to be reviewed and has no problem doing so. Her lectures were clear and concise allowing me to leave the class feeling good if not confident!

Professor did not teach just read from the PowerPoint. Tests and quizzes twice a week EVERY week on multiple chapters and no study guides so you just had to know everything in the entire 3 chapters given. Quiz every class. I withdrew to save my GPA and constant stress. This professor will be why you fail A&P, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
