Does not teach at all, just simply runs through examples in class and does not wait for students to catch up to him or even explain to students how to properly do questions. Rarely takes student questions, and when he does he basically belittles you for not understanding a concept as he does not realise his pace is way too fast for the class.
one of the worse instructor ! If you get him, change/drop that class right away without having a second thought. Not even worth giving a try. if you ask questions, he would shut you down by saying that you're disturbing the class. you might pass by just reading the book rather then coming to the class.
Goes a bit too fast, but that's the amount of material to cover at this course, not the teacher's fault. Totally satisfied with this instructor, he made me understand statistics better than anyone else.
He is very fast paced and if you don't understand a concept after he goes over it once, he will not repeat himself nor teach it again. Don't recommend him at all if you end up with him I would switch out, I regret not switching to a different instructor.
In this class he either teaches too fast or so slow everyone practically falls asleep. The stuff he shows is never the same as tests. He makes so many mistakes in lectures makes it impossible to follow. I am generally a good math student but had to look up how to do everything online.
Dr. Femi is one of the best math instructors I have ever had. I used to hate math, but his teaching method has made math more enjoyable for me. He's also very caring and willing to go over test papers, questions, etc outside of classroom time(during his own time). Thanks Dr. Femi.
Dr. Femi is a good instructor. I thought he was going a bit fast at the beginning and some students were concerned about it too. But as we fall on track and understand his style of teaching it was quite easy to follow him. I got late at class and he sacrificed his break to teach me and one of my friends. Thankyou Dr. Femi. We are glad to have you.
IF you don't come to class, and don't practice you will not pass, shows you how he wants everything done. Also has sick bowties.
Passionate about his job. Tells you what exactly he expects from you to receive marks and follows up with students who are struggling in certain areas. The class is more math based which is a plus. What you learn in class is exactly what is on the test. Definitely recommend if you are looking to achieve a higher mark in physics for post-secondary.
He is an amazing teacher with wonderful teaching skills like use of different coloured markers making concepts clear. He is energetic and helpful and always ready to answer student queries .He always gave feedback on the tests which helped in solving questions .I was fortunate enough to have him as my instructor and I thank him for all his efforts.
Dr. Femi had a good teaching style because of all of the in class examples he did. I felt like he spend a lot of time on the basics and didn't help much with the more into detail things that were assigned to us in the online assignments which is fine but be cautious about that. This is also because of the limited time given in a week.
Dr. Femi Alli was one of the best teachers I ever had. Femi is always smiling and you can tell that he is tremendously passionate about teaching. He always sets a positive learning environment for his students. His humor makes people want to come to class and feel more comfortable to participate. He is very knowledgeable and teaches at a good pace.
He is the best Math teacher I ever had. His classes are not boring and he explains everything. Thanks Dr. Femi Sam
best teacher ever!!
very good instructor. Highly recommended
Excellent instructor, I hope to have Dr. Alli as an instructor again in the future! Despite having taken Math 31 back in high school, I still learned quite a bit! Clearly outlines and communicates his expectations and how to be successful in his class(es).
Professor Femi is an excellent lecturer who does not assume that his student knows the course, he always starts from the basics to teach ensuring that everyone is carried along. He even goes a step further to meet the students at their desks to answer questions that any student might have. I am happy to recommend him to any school or company.
Dr. Femi is great! Can be a tough grader, but he'll really make sure you know your stuff. Also a very nice guy.
One of the best teachers I have ever had.
Dr Femi is a excellent tutor, he knows his subject and hes very vasatile. He takes his time to ensure all his students understand what hes teaching. Hes very busy but yet makes time for students that needs extra classes. If you go through Dr Femis calculus class, be sure youd become an expert. Best ever
Awesome professor. Makes math fun and engaging. I would definitely recommend him as a professor. Make sure you fill up the parabola.
Dr. Femi is a great instructor but, sometimes gets carried away with jokes instead of teaching. The content is really hard so, attendance matters! He will do everything he can to help you succeed if you put in the work. Lots of homework assigned but, sometimes he puts those questions right on the exams!
Have had Dr. Femi for 2 classes so far. Calculas & Dynamics. He is incredible. Very willing to go the extra mile if he sees you putting in the effort. his "gifts" are most of the reason why I did so well.
Terrible Instructor. Avoid if you can. Had to purchase an online code to be able to write tests and exams (Femi wouldnt use D2L). Horrible at explaining concepts, goes through material way to fast.
Dr. Femi Alii has been one of the best teachers i have come across my study period. The way he teaches is completely accurate and to the point. We never faced any difficulty in his subject during whole semester. He was always there helping each one of us with complete dedication. His teaching technique helped us to pass the course with flying color
Dr femi alli is the one of the best instructor in the SAIT college.
Femi is incredibly unprofessional. He tells students dont ask questions and never takes any responsibility for any mistake he makes saying I know Im a good professor, I know Im good at my job. Its always the students fault with him. He left his mic on for our first test, and took a phone call and we all heard his conversation for 1.5 hours.
incredibly unprofessional. tests incredibly hard- coming from a student with a 97% in calculus.
DR. Femi Alli is a great professor. He is very accurate at his teaching style. I always get a sense that he genuinely cares for his students. This semester though some of my colleagues intrigued to trouble the professor, but inspite of their repeated efforts Dr. FEMI never lost his cool and explained them every single concept in detail. He is BEST!
Instructor Femi is a excellent professor. He has adapted well to the online learning environment and continuously makes changes to the class to best fit everyone's learning style. The worksheets he provides to take notes are straightforward and easy to access. He also responds to emails quickly, within 24 hrs, excluding weekends.
Can't ask questions during his lecture or he gets mad and yells at you. No notes posted for review. As what he said, he doesn't check email so don't bother emailing him. The course is not taught the way it was designed to be. Didn't teach a single thing regarding excel. Not patient with students' questions. Do not take his online classes.
Dr. Femi is super egotistical and very negative towards students. Often goes on long rants about how great he is and how much students suck. He is terrible online. Never takes the time to address questions; instead, he gets frustrated and starts raising his voice and repeating himself over and over. Tests are next level.
Had him online and overall he is very lazy. Typically in tests it is assumed u'll submit ur solutions so that if u happen to score an incorrect answer but ur solution is correct, you'll get a partial mark. He doesnt do it, If u email him to look over; unseen, blames the student for getting the wrong answer even though it's still correct.
Femi was a constant challenge to work with and did very little to support students in his class. The lectures were fragmented and as noted by another student the test marking was brutal and did very little to allow students to demonstrate their understanding. I spent more time on this class than the rest I was taking combined and still struggled.
Horrible prof. He is extremely rude and condescending when you email him. He claims he would help out his students, but when you email him about it, he is so ill-mannered. He loves to be called a doctor yet he does not show any respect towards his students. He is disrespectful and I would not recommend him.
I have never had a professor so unprofessional and inconsiderate. He does not understand that students have lives and struggles outside of school. He is so egotistic and thinks of himself so highly. Avoid him at all costs!
he has good skills when it comes to teaching. I think he is really lazy because he do not give any assignment or quizzes. He only grades his student by exams. If you ask him, he is really rude, and i think he does not care about his students.
Assignments will require you to look for new formulas because he doesn't teach you that. On the tests you have to put your answer exactly the way the website wants you to. I spent countless hours to study, and ended up with an A-; Most ot my peers either fail or barely pass. Just choose someone else but him, or do equivalent courses. Avoid him.
tests and quizzes come right from the homework and assignments, making them easy to study for. enjoyed his teaching style and I look forward to taking more courses with him in the future!
He is one of the most passionate instructor. I think he is one of the most reliable professor and I believe it will be proved if any students meet him. As long as we want to study, he is always there to help.
He makes learning easy, discusses each topic confidently, and has an extensive knowledge about the subject matter. He makes sure the students can follow and always asks if we have questions. The pace of teaching is pleasant and enjoyable. No dull afternoon classes for this professor.
Femi was amazing, stricter teaching style, but only enough to promote critical thinking. He puts in extra effort to provide immaculate feedback. He knows his classes well (reads the room). Penmanship is through the roof, never have to worry about asking what something says. Super considerate instructor! Hope to be in his class again!
Gives basic questions for the quizzes that we have worked through in class. Tells you if you redo the handouts and the homework you will pass with flying colors. Then turns around and makes the tests super difficult and ruins all students confidence. He does teach content very well but testing style is extremely lacking.
Does the solution steps in detail. No short cut solutions and expects the same from students. Language barrier is an issue so expect very limited and unclear explanations when asked about certain steps in solutions and how did you arrive at the final answer. Need outside resources to further understand his teaching ways.
Hey Guys, If you are taking maths course and see professor Femi Ali as a option, I just wanna say take him. Trust me, you will not regret your decision if you give time in maths and keep your attendance 100%. I love his way of teaching and he gives feedback after each test that helps all the students to work on their mistakes.
Femi is an excellent instructor, he is passionate about teaching and he is worried for everyone to learn and understand maths. His way to teach is very clear and the exercises that he taught are always related to test so it made me able to solve any exercises.
Mr. Alli is one of the best instructors I've ever had. He explains calculus in a very easy way. He truly cares about his students' learning and does everything he can, to ensure they understand. To pass his class all you have to do is practice what he teaches and attend class. I highly recommend Mr. Alli, and I would take classes with him again.
Femi is awesome. His teaching pace is ideal. His step by step process makes it easier for me to understand the solution. He sticks with his pace even though many of my classmates already know the topic and are fast in solving problems. He is sometimes misunderstood, but he only makes sure that his students learn and he is very honest about it.
He goes through all the examples step by step which is really helpful. If you complete all the class and homework examples there are no surprises on the test, all questions will look familiar. If I were to take this course again I would definitely want Femi to be my teacher. I strongly recommend him.
Calculus can be a challenge to many students, I found him and the steps to be very reasonable just make sure to show all work and you will do fine. I would also say that a lot of the solutions done in class time or assigned as homework where like that found on the tests so if you study with in class work and the homework you should do just fine.
I would like to express how much I enjoyed professor Alli's classes and the way he taught us. I learned a lot from him, not only about STAT, but also, actually, the more important things like his commitment and sincere effort in the class to teach the students and his perseverance to get the job done as best as possible. Thank you Mr. Femi Alli !
Terrible at explaining when asked a question. Extremely disorganized and inconsistent on his word
Best professor I have ever learnt under.Always keeps amazing class environment and keep active . Provide best guidence.
Although I really struggled in his class he is one of the best teachers ive ever had. He really wants everyone to pass his class and will take it as slow as any student needs. He is so kind, fun, funny, he really cares, is very passionate, and clearly loves his job.
Femi took great interest in wanting to see me be successful in Calculus. He provided feedback and asked if I would reach out to him and let him know how I am doing in school. This shows he cares. Thanks Femi, you really helped me out.
He is a very good professor. Math becomes easier because he knows how to teach well.
He is the best! He is always prepared with his lesson and he makes sure everyone understands it. I will always be proud that I became his student.
Professor Femi is a great professor. He is always prepared with the lessons, and he makes sure that all of us understand it. He goes through a lot of examples and you just have to answer the homework questions for you to pass the exam. He also has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Sir Femi, and I would like to be his student again.
I was just an average student and have difficulty in Math but the way he taught the course made me understand the concept better. He was funny and considerate. One of the best professor indeed!
The best professor I've ever known. He ensures that all his students understand the lessons very well and come to class excellently prepared. I admire him for sharing with us the importance and application of our lessons in real life. I'm going to miss this class for sure. I'm so grateful to you, Sir Femi!
Mr. Femi Alli is one of the best Instructor I've ever had! He makes learning FUN and you will never feel any shame regardless of your math skills... You will definitely LEARN from Mr. Alli. 100% Guaranteed! So if you have the chance to be in his class, Take it!
Professor Femi is well-versed in his profession as an Engineer and Ph.D. He teaches his students well. He usually teaches step by step for students to fully understand the solution to the problem. He has a good humor. He was incredibly fun. He checks attendance daily hence he knows his students by their names. Math became easy because of him.
Professor Femi is the BEST of the BEST!! He wants his students to do well in class and in life. If I have to take Math subjects in the future, I'd love to have him as my professor. He makes the subject fun and easy to understand.
Femi Alli is the Best instructor one can have for maths. He is so Funny and makes the whole class laugh in every single lecture. If i will have maths course in future i will be so happy if i get him as my instructor. Femi if you are reading this, thanks for the memorable classes. We love you. SUBWAYYY.
I had the pleasure of being a student in Femi's class this semester. He is an outstanding educator who combines humor and easy teaching methods. The use of interactive activities and approachability enhances the learning experience. His impact goes beyond the classroom, creating a positive and memorable academic journey. Highly recommend!
His teaching is superb. If you have poor math skills, your math skills will improve tremendously after he teaches you.
Femi Alli is the best professor I have met. I have never understood maths as much as I do now. He makes maths so easy and interesting. Thank you Femi for making my 3months of studying maths worth it.
Femi is a wonderful and easy to understand instructor. With amazing lectures and easy to understand teaching methods, I enjoyed and understood all I was taught. I would take this class over and over again!.
Amazing style of math teaching . I enjoyed my whole semester during his lectures
He loves teaching and cares for his students. He's patient, he listens, and even knows each student by name. He drills the learning through exercises where he guides the class one step at a time. He's also encouraging and treats his students individually with respect...has a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh! Highly recommended!
Femi is the best professor I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. I came into this course having doubts about passing but his lectures are well thought out and his examples are exactly like his tests. Participation and attendance is the most important aspect of the course.
Great teacher but has an ego. If the question is written wrong on the test, he is still right (and you are wrong - got a zero on that question regardless - even though it was written wrong). Not understanding and mean towards students (one on one). I did really well in the class but overall he is a very disrespectful person with a god complex.
Super mean and not accommodating. Reemed me out (got me mixed up with another student - he didn't apologize at all once he realized I was not the right student). I've never been so disrespected in my life. Also called students out one by one, disrespecting them (revealing they got lots wrong on the tests) in front of the whole class.
In my experience, Femi Alli is the best instructor there is. He supported me and my classmates throughout the course and applied real-life examples to help us understand how crucial the course concepts are, and how they can be applied to improve our financial lives. He was also accessible outside of class and gave great feedback after each exam.
He is clear and transparent with expectations and what is needed for the course. The work you put in is the result that will show in your grades. Dr. Femi's class is easy, as long as you pay attention in class and keep up with assignments. The contents you receive on tests are taken directly from what is learned in class. Great teacher, easy class!
Horrible
One of the worst math teachers I have ever had.
He doesn't think he can be wrong and thinks he's always right no matter what you say to him. And, if you say he graded wrong, he's going to say you're wrong and proceed to dock marks away on your tests for saying he's wrong. There were also plenty of times where I had the same solution as another student and they got it right but marked me wrong.
Talks about how much money he has. Good teacher but not nice. Brags so much about his car - makes me want to take his catalytic converter. Very mean one on one and rude. Huge ego and not understanding.
Very Unprofessional teacher. No feedback on tests. Favored certain students while not caring about other students. Not fluent in English, and has a excessive accent. I would definitely not recommend this teacher, unless you find math easy and can learn on your own.
Awesome teacher! Does everything in his power to ensure each individual student gets the help they need. Very structure class, where attendance is required to keep up. If you attend the classes and do the homework you'll do great. Only complaint with course was how it was coordinated with other program obligations, making life balance tough.
Teaches wholeheartedly. Ensures quality. Focus on learning and expanding your knowledge in your field of study.
just do not take this proof ever. do not even help you if you need.
Amazing math professor. Help in any situation and make learning math an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend this prof to take for your next courses to get better in maths
I had evening classes with him, and since the course was condensed, there was a lot of content in a short period of time. He explains how he grades and what he expects in terms of organizing our finances. It was demanding, but the classes were interactive and fun.
Details of class didn't difficult but the ways to check answers have many things that non-sense and cannot estimate the real performance of students and made me worried about writing every step until I could not finish the test on time. Studying with him made me feel hate math in first time of my life although math is my favourite subject.
I took the accelerated course, so there was a lot of content packed into a smaller time frame. Dr. Femi did a great job at emphasizing aspects of the material that would otherwise feel like arbitrary spots for students to slip up and lose marks. Grading criteria was made very clear both beforehand and in feedback.
Femi loves teaching, but if you are weak in math, do not take him. He is VERY specific and posts nothing on D2L to force attendance. If you miss a step, the whole question is marked wrong. He is funny and makes boring subjects engaging, but he is strict. Only take him if you are confident in your math skills. He is not for everyone, so take caution
