I had Mr Fariz for Tech 150 at Humber College who is very generous and kind who explains everything well. I really recommend him for any course that he might be teaching. THNKS
I believe he is the best professor. I love the way makes students learn different things with his various teaching method. Also he explains each and everything in details. .All I can say, He is a great professor.
Faris is a brilliant teacher. He is the only teacher who explains the material in a very easy way. He always encourage me to make practical skills better and he always give me feedback for every test. He also put some question which are helpful in future for interview purposes. Overall, he is excellent and most inspiring instructor i have ever met.
He gave us many materials to help understand the class. Sometimes, it is hard to understand what we learn. However, he replies very clearly to students. Also, he gave us many questions to improve our skill in this class. I recommend this class for you guys.
Faris Al-Salem is a good teacher. If you go to class and read the lectures before the class your golden. He also makes sure you understand the material before we move on to the next lesson or topic.
I found Faris brilliant teacher because he describes each and every thing related to our course with full explanation. He focuses to improve the practical skills of students. Also, he take quiz es time to time to make study easy for students. I really appreciate this teacher because he is very helpful, generous, knowledgeable teacher.
faris is a great professor and I have enjoyed class. It is so refreshing to have a professor just tell you straightforward this is what you have to know and I'm just going to tell you about it. With this said, the class content is not easy and you have to show up to class and give him your full attention
He is the best professor I have had at Humber. His lectures are great and I really learned a lot. He is the example of what every professor/teacher should be. I learned a ton from his class. He is a really thoughtful and genuine professor that gets to know all of his students by name. He challenges you and makes you think about troubleshooting and
Faris is one of the best teacher because he provides full course material and make his great efforts to make students understand this material. He is loyal, knowledgeable,inspirational, hard worker. His efforts make course easy and he always helps students to solve their problems and also focuses to improve the practical skills of the students.
He is very good professor. He motive student. He has good practical knowledge.
Teaches in a weird way, everything is on the board and never references the text. Often jumps around with concepts and can get off topic. Summarizes things quite simply and then makes the test much harder than the concepts. You're better off not taking him.
He is a good prof. try to make student understand through class discussion
I liked the way he teach
Faris is one of the best professor because he provides full course material and make his great efforts to make students understand this material. He is loyal, knowledgeable,inspirational, hard worker. His efforts make course easy and he always helps students to solve their problems and also focuses to improve the practical skills of the students.
Faris is an EXCELLENTprofessor, especially compared to the lack of decent professors in Humber's electronic department. He is always prepared, and is very thorough. He is also very fair and will always go the extra mile to explain concepts to you when you don't understand.
He is one of the best teachers in my life from whom i have learned a lot. From always being positive, to work hard in life he taught me a lot many things. The atmosphere in his class was so friendly that i doesnt felt any hesitation to clear my doubts . Also his main focus was on practical skill which i also enjoyed a lot
You do not need the book for his class just pay attetion and he will make sure you understand
I enjoyed attending Faris lecture as his pedagogy was amazing. Professor loves students who participate in class. Hes includes questions from what he spoke in class so you must attend the class.
really amazing professor helps a lot all u need to do is pay attention
Nice guy, little tough to completely understand, but his powerpoints make it easy very straight forward and to the point. He'll help you out if you don't understand. He also has a very good sense of humor and makes classes fun.
Your evaluation system is good Good teaching learning system Cooperative
Faris is best teacher ready to help you and provides good feedback for your current grade to give the chance to improve later on.
I liked the way he teach. Good teacher
Faris is a wonderful teacher. He comes into class with a smile that fills the air with positive feelings. He doesnt only teach from book and slides but from his passion. He inspired me because he made something I wasnt any good at doing better at it.
Professor Faris has the ability to make the material being taught stimulating and interesting...I liked the way he teach.
He is an excellent teacher, always ready to help and treats his students as his friends.
Best prof. The only lecture that I won't fall asleep and the only lectures that I attended most. He tries everything he can to help you. He makes sure you understand his stuff. Recommended prof for everyone. Hope he teach me in coming semester
Great guy, willing to help, explain and show how things are done. Not the easiest marker, but he's fair.
Faris is an excellent prof and you can tell by the way he speaks that he is such a sweet guy. He always is great at clarifying his explanations. He really knows his studies and expects you to know them too! Regardless I definitely want to take more classes with him
Faris is an unreal prof. I would take his class again hands down. Lectures are very helpful and keep you interested. Attending lectures is mandatory to understand the topics as he made it simple and so is reading the textbook.
WONDERFUL PROF! Highly recommend. He is very engaging, and makes the class seem shorter than it is. He does give a challenging midterm... make sure you study! But overall the best first year prof I had
Great teacher! He's always willing to spend the extra time to help out his students. He's easy on the eyes too.
Professor Faris I nwould like to say thank you for believing in me. Many times I hear friends say that instructors want us to fail or they want to make the class as hard as possible. Somehow you have found the perfect balance of challenging us and being there as support when we didnt understand something.
Very passionate, extremely caring, prompt to reply to e-mails, and always ready to help out his students! Classes are incredibly interesting and his lecturing style makes it simple to follow him. He can make boring material the most fascinating thing you'll learn. Courses are very well structured, it's like learning a story throughout the semester.
I've took 2 courses with this professor so far. He is such a great professor. One of the best at the college
Thank you for making the lesson relevant. Your lessons were so much easier to remember because you presented the opportunity to relate them to something we already knew. With every new lesson or term you explained, you gave a current real-life example. Most of these examples came from popular news stories, sports headlines, and entertainment topics
Faris you are my favorite professor because I believe you do more than what is required of you as an instructor. You will continue to be my favorite professor until I come across more to add to your ranks.
I just wanted to say thank you for the great experience I had in Humber this year. Fall 2016 was actually my first semester at Humber, and I am so glad to have taken your class. Your lectures were always so well organized, I greatly enjoyed all of the assignments, and the material really stayed with me.
My heartiest appreciation towards you for delivering such a wonderful lectures during the semester. I think I have learnt a lot from you
Prof Faris, thank you for every thing this semester for being a great teacher and person. I have through;y enjoyed your course digital fundamentals. You are truly the most remarkable professor I have encountered in my academic journies. Thank you so much. God bless you and your family
Wonderful Professor! Highly recommend. He is very engaging, and makes the class seem shorter than it is.
Do not take this professor. Does not know how to teach.
Excellent Prof. providing good materials and tutorials. You must be active in his class. Provide practical examples to help you understanding.
Faris was one of the best profs I've ever had. Very nice guy. Had him for two classes, really really helpful, goes above and beyond to ensure that you have understood.
I really enjoy going to his classes, i find he is a great professor, best so far through my college studies. he gives you the required information and links them to real situations which is a great way to learn and understand the material.
Excellent Prof. providing good materials and tutorials. I liked the way he tough the course
Best Professor. Actually cares about his students and is VERY fair. BEST OF THE BESTS
He uses powerpoints and uploads everything that was covered in class online.. so if you ever miss a class you can cover it on your own.. You have to go to every class because he usually gives out bonus marks.. He makes learning course material very easy with his teaching style.. I highly recommend him for any acct class
one of the best faculty in Humber ... definitely honest and i personally recommend this professor :-)
Probably he is the best Prof ever had, you can tell he is so invested in what he teaches. You can tell that he cares and wants you to succeed.
Probably the worst professor i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His lectures are awful with barely any teachings, he relies on videos to teach. Be ready to be called "Dears" and have a lecture that solving circuits is all common sense. You have been warned don't believe all the good comments he received here, they are all false.
Wonderful and excellent Professor! Highly recommend.
very GOOD PROFESSOR you will enjoy his class
Faris is the only professor who used blackboard, slides and videos in his teaching. I understood the concepts more rapidly and more enthusiastic. I liked his way in teaching. I had two courses with him. I enjoyed all the course he taught me. Wonderful professor.
Awesome professor. Straightforward tests and he explains very well.
Amazing professor! Love the way he teaches and makes everything so clear. If you pay attention and do your readings you'll do amazing in the course! Very nice and approachable
Great Prof, makes electronic device circuits lectures interesting and clearly explains concepts.
Amazing professor. The only professor I can listen to for 2 hours in one session without blanking out. He emphasizes the difficult material and adds in additional information that is USEFUL.
Hands down the best instructor I've ever had. Professional, concise, repeats information on slides to reinforce material (very helpful), emphasizes points/ concepts which are exceptionally difficult, welcomes questions. Very knowledgeable in the subject area. Overall phenomenal professor
As he always praises us, you can tell how much he loves us and enjoys coming and teaching us. Professor Faris is like a maestro who is listening to each tone and looks at each face to make sure that message is delivered, all on task and the song has effect. don't miss his class and you will appreciate him.
The best prof ever!!
What an amazing prof. An amazing person. He is so helpful and smart and really wants to help. He makes everything interesting and clear. Awesome.
Good guy but not the best teacher. He knows what he is doing but cant explain it simply. You should expect to do a lot of work on your own time. Get on his good side by attending class and asking questions.
Faris for me was a good professor, but sometimes he can be very unclear and confuse the whole class, or say things are "easy", but for us the students It's not easy. Other than that he seems great, he wants us to learn, be more involved in discussion, ask questions. If you have Faris in the future, just attend class, be regular with your studies.
Awesome prof. Very down-to-earth and approachable. Explains concepts well and made understanding the material very easy. The course material itself was quite dry, but he made it as interesting as it could be. Probably the best instructor that taught the course this year.
Amazing professor. Faris has a very traditional teaching style that makes the material very easy to understand. He is very organized on Blackboard. His tests are fair, but not necessarily easy. He expects you to understand everything he assigns from the book and all lecture content. Be sure to attend his classes and approach him when you need ass.
Close to perfect professor to learn from. Lectures were crystal clear and concise, did a great job of mixing explanations and examples. Was helpful every time I approached him. Tests and the course in general were middling difficulty but as long as you go to lectures and do the problems you'll be more than ok.
Best professor I've had throughout my entire career. So inspiring and genuine. So open and restful. If you ever have the chance to take a class with him, do it.
Excellent course, Faris is clearly a gifted and effective teacher. His powerpoints are masterpieces and help explain even very difficult concepts in a clear and approachable manner. The course was very well structured
Awesome prof, engaging lectures and an easy A if you put in a little effort
I had a great journey with you during my session. I learnt a lot from you which will be helpful to me. I like your teaching way which help us to understand easy in class room and as well in the lab just as a good friends. I will suggest to my other friends who are in electrical that choose you as a teacher if they want to be good technision.
Professor would care about the students well-being and always make sure that they are confident about the class itself. Going off topic sometimes in class just to make conversation and to make students comfortable. Tests would always be made sure that everyone is going into to them with confidence.
Dr. FARIS is a very gifted educator and he regularly uses hIS own practical experience to exemplify theoretical frameworks. He is a difficult grader and you can't bullsh*t your way through hIS classes. Overall, he ensures an amazing learning experience.
Faris is definitely one of the best profs. Great method of teaching. He offers one of best and organized notes
Professor Faris has got his command over the subject. He makes you understand the complex information in a very simple and easy manner. The charts and diagrams in his presentations make the stuff a lot easier to understand. He is very helpful. He is always there for students to clarify their doubts on the subject. Overall, he is a gem of a person.
Faris was the most caring and attentive prof I had first year. He explained topics thoroughly and gave frequent breaks to digest the information. He was always around to help students after class too. He is the best beast.
Prof. Faris is the most awesome person that I knew and the best Professor at humber. He knows what is doing. He goes out of his way to make sure that as students feel comfortable trying new things and he is always super helpful.
Faris is a wonderful professor
This is the best professor I've ever had. He's nice and concise. Best personality. I wish I have for all of my classes
Very poor professor, consistently shows up late to class. Not prepared, just shows YouTube videos and hardly lectures. When you ask questions, generally cannot answer in a way to convey meaning. I do not recommend.
Hands done this is one of the WORST teachers in the department. Horrendous awful. There is absolutely no "teaching" in his class. It is completely on videos. Keeps saying solving circuits is "common sense" but never actually does any teaching to show this "common sense". DOn't believe all the good comments on here 100% false.
I do not recommend his class. He starts off the semester with him saying that he will not give anything above 80. He says everything is "easy" and likes to compare the students to university students. He expects you to write a full lab report but only marks the conclusion. He expects you to learn his way and not from what the textbook teaches.
He really pushes you to be the best in the field of study and he really know how to make learning fun.
He is a professor who really more focuses on student critical thinking and pushed all students to be more knowledgeable in both practical and theoretical...
Faris is an exemplary electronic teacher. In my opinion he is the best..
Faris is the most amazing and most extraordinary Prof at Humber. Even he is a strict teacher, but is extremely fair and delivers excellent lessons.
This is a mother chance for me to grade my Prof. Faris. He thought me TECH101 and TECH150. I really appreciate his way of teaching us. It is different from others the sense he want students to learn something and to solve problems. Things I learnt from him is what I need to be useful in the workplace. Writing reports, critical thinking an
Never show late, He is the best. This is my opinion. If you are a lazy student, showing late or careless, do not reflect on others. It is your problem. Try to be honest with yourself first. I learnt a lot from him. HWhich Videos you are talking about. Prof Faris was using the board many times, explaining everything. Many techniques he used.
"Try to be honest with yourself" - yes start with yourself Faris. All the positive reviews posted here are 100% fake. Ask any student who took his class will tell you about his YouTube lectures and lateness. Why don't you put some effort into your teaching Faris instead of writing fake reviews and lying. Respect must be earned, not faked.
Very good professor. I recommended his class. I got a lot of help and assist.
Thank you Professor faris for your continues motivation and support provided by you. I recommended your class.
Prof Fais really pushes you to be the best in the field of study . Willing to help students in their study Just sent email to him and get appointment, he will explain the lecture
Prof Faris explains very well. He tries to break it down so that you understand. I like his lectures. Prof. Faris tried his best to engage and keep students interested in the material. I found the course very useful and interesting
Faris is an awesome prof, he makes the course material clear and straight forward, really funny would recommend to anyone!!! he's the best!
One of the most interesting courses in the year. Professor Faris knows how to give lectures and deliver the lecture. He has a good teaching style which keeps me interested. Ive gained a wide range of information about more than just electronic circuits.
I like the attitude of Professor Farisr to the subject. He is interesting and quite fun to listen to. I do learn a lot while he is teaching. Easy access to help when I need it.
nice professor, I liked the way he teach
Excellent keep it up
Nice professor, at the end of course you will learn a lot.
He is a good professor, read what he posted on blackboard and be regular in his class.
Good lecturer given the content of the course. Lecture notes are good and exams are fair but tough. He has a strong support system in place for students & ensures lectures/resources are as comprehensive as possible. He's really big on applying your knowledge and not just memorization. Overall a really nice guy
Thank you for putting the effort and having such a great lectures to follow.. clear material, very respected and inspirational in giving the opportunity to learn and have a better understanding of the material
Now I realized his excellent teaching methodology it helped me a lot after graduation. Thank you professor Faris. Your efforts was highly appreciated.
Great Professor and helpful
He's very hard to understand, dosent give us a good understanding of what were learning, and expects us to know everything even though we are first years.
Faris deserves all the positive reviews he is getting. He clearly cares about his students. He does an excellent job of distilling complex concepts down and making them easy to grasp. Lots of quizzes but they prepare you very well for tests so they are worth keeping up on. Amazing, Fair and respect.
I took his class TECH101 a few years ago but wanted to leave a review here as I wish more professors were like him. He approaching teaching in a way where he prioritizes your success. He wants you to learn the topics and does everything he can to break it up and make it understandable. Thank you very much Professor Faris.
A wonderful and kind professor. Grades fair and cares a lot about both students and teaching. Criteria is clear.. Probably the best professor I've ever taken. Yu will not feel the difference between online and in-person teaching
Dr Faris really looked out for me and reached out durring times of difficulty.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM. He does not show up, online recordings are unavailable for access after multiple requests to fix links, does not explain the labs, and has 0 patience. Ask him questions and you will be yelled at and put down, nothing personal but just who he is. Avoid at all costs. These other reviews don't seem accurate at all.
the worse prof ever, I don't know who in there right mind gave this man a high star review, man tells us to be serious and doesn't show up for class him self. do your self a favor and make a discord server with the students from your course, yall are gonna need all the man power and team work to get through his class.
The worst professor in history. At least he is creative because he writes the reviews himself. SHould have been an art teacher because he has nothing in common with engineering.
Very calm and friendly in class. Sometimes he is strict but he is a best professor I've ever seen. He gives importance to students' opinion and listens every student.
I would like other students to have this experience with him because I learned a lot from him. But They have to prepare for their course because it Quiz is not easy.
He helped me whenever I faced difficulty in understanding a concept or in a question. He also made sure that all the students understand the topic clearly and will not find it difficult to solve any questions later. He is very helpful and friendly.
The content is not hard or heavy but you should practice. If you have any question ask him in the class he would explain again until you totally get it. He cares more about your learning than quizes.
A great, friendly and generous proffessor with great knowledge
Professor Faris is probably the kindest outgoing professor I've had. He constantly repeats the important bits of his theory lectures to ensure we grasp the concept. He will go out of his way to ensure students are understanding his lectures by communicating one on one with the student and clearing up any doubts.
Faris is a great prof and I wish more professors were like him!
sir is very kind and cares much about his students grades, doesnt want to see anyone fail, puts extra time and effort towards those who do not understand. thank you sir for you rteachings
A great Professor, helpful and providing feedback
Amazing Professor, respected and helpful
I like the way he handled the course. He built in me many things like improve my knowledge, my analysis skills and develop my practical skills. I wish all the Professor like him.
Professor Faris is very respected, helpful and approached outside the class. He creates an active discussion in the class to motivate students. I wish to take him in all courses.
Professor Faris's classes were amazing! His teaching style is effective, and he works hard on his lecture materials to help his students succeed and his lectures are always genuinely interesting and engaging. I most definitely recommended student to take him.
I had Faris as my teacher two years back with Muthana as his partner. Our class was so lucky, we still talk about how he is the best mentors for our field entry. I still reach Faris for advice. Really, he was cooperating and care for his students.
Excellent Professor. I liked the way he handled the course.
He is a good Professor, respected and do all the needful to help students
I simply cannot say enough about Professor Faris. I took this course three year back. He truly is an amazing teacher, mentor and overall human being. He is exceptionally approachable and will do anything in his ability in order to accommodate his students. I strongly recommended him. He joined the real life with his lectures.
He is the best professor i found in this course as he is the best at his work. Friendly nature and a lots of knowledge with good teaching skill makes him the perfect professor in this field.
I took this course for the second time. I found Professor Faris as an amazing Professor, helping and caring about his students. He is very fair in his evaluation. Can repeat the lecture in different ways till the student is confident understood the lecture. Strongly recommended.
I would love to write feedback about my professor Faris. He was one of the best teachers I ever had in my life . I really loved to attend both his classes and lab and his teaching style. I do still remember all the concepts of my class due to his incredible style of teaching. Looking forward to implement his concepts in real world

Great professor and have a great experience in circuits
Great Professor, amazing and helpful. I knew on what he is talking about. Strongly recommended. You just have to go to class and be interested in learning.
His course was well planned, and all his teaching material were prepared and available. No surprises: everything was laid out and timelines adhered. He was very meticulous. As a teacher, He is clearly very passionate, and eager to teach. He made every class interesting. Would highly recommend.
Lol just like below I came back to review because I've started my internship and am using so many of the things I learned in this class. This was my favorite class and got to have some good chats with Faris to help me figure out where I wanted to work in the future. Very relevant and caring prof
Very friendly. Always helpful. Enjoy his class and enrich your knowledge.
An amazing professor who really cares about his students. Clear lectures, fair grading, and always willing to help. I found unstuck ai great for prepping the course material.
Very specific and clear throughout his lectures, explanations, and grading criteria. If you don't know what's going on, you're probably not paying attention. Strongly recommended Faris
Faris is a wonderful professor. He is caring and understanding. He provides ample opportunities for you to express your opinions and understandings and builds a great 'class family' where everyone is respected. He gives wonderful feedback in the lab and cares about his students as PEOPLE.
The reviews are mostly fake, from my personal experience he was demeaning, and dismissive of my questions.
Very kind and professional. Always ready for help. Explains very well.
Thanks Faris you are all around amazing and I appreciate everything you have imparted to us over this semester..... thanks a lot for help and assistance
Professor Faris is one of the greatest professors I have ever had. He is very helpful. I repeated this course twice, and without his motivation and assistance, I would never have passed. I am very grateful to him. Thank you, Professor..
