One of the best prof you will ever have. Seriously. Many other profs phone it in or have tenure and haven't updated their syllabus in 5 years. Hamza brings real-world concepts in from that week. Your assignments also become things you can right away add to your resume. You're forced to critically engage. This is what learning should be.
Hamza is by far the best prof I've ever had at Ryerson!! His teachings are life-changing, and so relevant. His assignments will benefit you beyond your university career, and he is willing to help you achieve your professional and academic goals. Lectures were amazing, hilarious and engaging. This is how all courses should be taught at university!
Hamza is a great prof! He uses topics that are both engaging and modern which was awesome ! You won't be bored in class and for social media our "readings" were weekly viewing of Black Mirror (which actually pertained to the topics)! 10/10 would recommend! :)
Honestly one of the best university experiences I have ever had. This guy was funny, engaging, and best of all, he truly wanted to educate us. He wasn't just droning on from some book or reading off slides, he was actually challenging us with new ideas and attempting to get us to think for ourselves. Truly an amazing experience. 10/10.
Hamza is by far the best lecturer I've had at Ryerson. He is consistently engaging by remaining relevant (he always has the most fire memes ready). He comes ready to deliver thought provoking ideas and to spark lively debate. You can also tell employability is important to him. I feel bad for anyone who won't get to take this course with him!
Hamza Khan is the best professor that I've had in my four years at Ryerson University. Classes are super easy. Attendance is not mandatory but you will want to attend because his classes are extremely engaging. Assignments were easy. Pretty sure our class avg. was an 85 - 90.
Realest prof in the game right now
By far, the best professor I've had at Ryerson. Hamza gives extremely engaging lectures, you can tell he's really interested and passionate about the material. He really cares about the success of his students. Class discussions and material are always lively and thought-provoking. I want to take more of his courses.
The best professor you will ever have. So extremely knowledgeable in all things regarding social media and marketing. The best speaker as well. Lectures fly by.
This was one of the best courses I ever took. He's super knowledgeable and is able to get so much discussion going. I honestly wish there was more of this class.
Hamza is a cool prof, no doubt. The way he structures his content is very career oriented - he's out there trying to get you the skills for a job.
THE BEST I REPEAT THE BEST PROF I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Hamza's teaching styles are a perfect combination of being very helpful, inspirational and informative while keep the class super engaged and focused. How does he do this right? Take his class and I promise you, you will be saying the same thing. Attend class and do the work!
I was in the first university class Hamza ever taught-- and he was amazing. He took the Social Media class and redid the entire curriculum to make it actually relevant. He brought in talented guest speakers and interacted with us on facebook every day. Despite all this, getting an A was still super easy as long as you hand everything in.
This was the best class of my entire life, it changed so much for me. It completely opened my eyes towards not just social media but life in general. He's also an extremely fair marker and engaging lecturer. 100% recommend this class, and pretty sure if every prof was like this the world would be a better place.
Hamza was probably the best prof I've ever had. His class was pretty chill and laid back, but was still engaging enough to keep me coming back every week. His content was very relevant and up to date which made class fun and relatable. I LOVED his special guests and fireside chats. I would highly recommend this prof (and this class) to anyone!
Amazing lectures that were informational yet used real-time and current examples as case studies for the course material. Hamza's very engaging as a lecturer and very relatable. He incorporates humour to the class in a way that keeps you on your toes and wanting to learn more.
Hamza is a great professor who is very intelligent and very funny. Attendance is non-mandatory, yet I never wanted to miss out on the lectures since they are so interesting and useful. Definitely take his class.
Amazing prof, take his class if you have the chance! Not only is it an easy A, but his lectures and guest speakers are actually very interesting and will make you want to show up despite the class not taking attendance.
Hamza's classes always felt like a TED Talk! I would 110% recommend taking any of his classes to anyone, it has been the best learning experience I've had so far in uni.
From the very first day, I was stuck thinking, "Everyone NEEDS to be in this class". I am truly upset that everyone I know can't experience everything I was able to through Hamza and his class. His course content is so unbelievably relevant that sometimes I would hear of it first in class. Inspirational & motivating, all around amazing - MUST TAKE!
Hamza was a great lecturer. He was very engaging and was able to connect course material to real life in an unbelievably interesting way. I learned way more than I thought I would!
RTA 902 has been one of my best experiences at Ryerson. Hamza is an encouraging, engaging, inspiring, and passionate lecturer who not only teaches academic knowledge, but a lot of real-life lessons and advice too. I found the assignments to be challenging but not so challenging that I lost confidence. He is approachable+ readily available for help.
Chill class, and pretty helpful in terms of career advice. The work we had to do was relevant to social media, so I appreciated that.
Hamza is an incredible prof and human being. If I had the chance to take this course again, I would, and I probably learn so much more even if he taught the same concepts. Hamza was not only a prof but a mentor. Everyone needs a Hamza in their life. He is so great, understanding, and well-spoken. TAKE THIS CLASS! It will benefit your entire life!
Hamza is one of the best professors I've had so far. It's really nice to have a professor that actually puts effort into his lectures and is excited about the class. I learned a lot and there were a lot of guest speakers that made the course feel like an even better opportunity. Also total bae which can be distracting tbh. Take this class!
Hamzas amazing! He cares about his students and their success. His lectures are super interesting, and he brings in great guest speakers weekly. Attendance wasnt mandatory, but youll actually want to come to class. The course requires effort and critical thinking to do well but the assignments and blogs are fun and open ended!
Hamza was probably the best professor I've had in University. He made me actually want to come to class because his lectures were interesting and fun. Course content was easy to learn and apply, while assignments were easy to do. Would definitely recommend taking his class!
Awesome class! It's like a freaking TED talk every week. Hamza is great and brings in plenty of awesome guests. Would take this class over and over. 10/10!
Hamza is a great guy. Always cared to make sure his students were given the best chance to succeed if they tried. If taking his class for Social Media you will not be disappointed, while other profs are often too out of touch to relate to their students regarding social media Hamza is right on the money. Would highly recommend, great experience.
Hamza was an absolutely amazing prof that always ensured that he was teaching and engaging with his students to the best of his ability. He truly wanted all of us to succeed as well as think critically about the content that he provided in class. Social Media was hands-down my favourite class of the year!
This class was amazing! His lectures were very interesting and inspirational. I thoroughly enjoyed the topics and discussions throughout the term. One of the best professors ever!
Great prof! Learned a lot in his class, would highly recommend.
The easiest class I have ever taken in my entire life - not joking in any way.
Great prof! Really passionate about what he teaches. His class was really easy and practical.
Hamza personally helped and inspired me in my own entrepreneurial ventures. When you ask him for help, he gives you the answer and more. Incredibly knowledgeable and genuine man. Wish I could take the class again and learn more from him. Down to earth and super motivating. Thank you, sir!
Hes a great teacher. I love listening to him teach! His examples are always relevant and current. He uses lots of videos and visuals to teach. 10/10 prof. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Great guy, you have to try harder to fail than to pass with soaring colours in this class.
One of the best prof's I've ever had. Goes out of his way to ensure the course is catered to what the students want and is willing to alter how class time is spent based on what the students want more of. Also gets people working in varying social media fields for panel discussions, which is super helpful. One of the few prof's who actually care.
Hamza is one of the most down to earth, understands your struggles as a student and a person prof I have ever had. As a fourth year in my program, he has been extremely understanding and helpful with assignment due dates so that this one course didn't impact my other courses like thesis and my health. Wonderful and very knowledgeable.
Hamza's class will change your life! His course should be mandatory for every Ryerson student. I could go on and on about every little thing that Hamza does right. There are very few I consider great and I would consider Hamza even a league above them. A great prof and a good friend! Thank you, Hamza!
Really down to earth, sharp, and well spoken. Hamza was very clear in what he taught, and made me more interested in social media and his teaching style had visuals and real life examples that made concepts easy to understand. Definitely would recommend taking his classes.
Great prof I had this semester, really caring of how each student's learning experience, and very kind in giving accommodations in making sure you learn and get it done.
Great prof! always has engaging discussions in class, and actually cares about his students and their success in the class
Best prof hands down, all I can say. Inspirational, knows how to teach and is so passionate! bonus: really good looking! take a course with him, you won't regret it :)
This course was by far one of my favorite courses I have taken at Ryerson! Hamza is remarkable, passionate and enthusiastic. I have been inspired to continue marketing my brand with all the techniques I have gathered from his lectures and guests. TAKE THIS CLASS! 10/10 teacher, as long as you do the work, you're guaranteed a great mark!
I've only had about 4 instructors at Ryerson I genuinely liked and wanted to attend their class, Hamza makes 5. Honestly, he's a real one; understands your struggle as a student, especially a 4th year student, really engaging with the class, and super accommodating. If you're a cynic about University, take his class, he'll change your mind.
Hamza is very engaging and makes class not boring. There isn't a final exam or essay, just weekly assignments. His presentations are very relatable to the current in school student. You don't have to attend class for participation, however, he recommends it because his lectures are fun and can be useful when preparing for your weekly assignments.
Hamza is honestly just a great person. Hes literally always available for any questions or help you may need, hes very understanding, and his lectures are interesting. He makes a lot of connections to things we youngsters may like. Recommend the class
I always heard great things about Hamza and I can say that all those reviews are true! He is such a cool and relatable teacher who's easily accessible and is always willing to accommodate for students' needs. The assignments are a little annoying but so useful for everyday life. If I could take another class of his, I would!
easily one of my favourite profs in my uni career. I get sad if a class of his is cancelled because the content is so useful and actually fun to learn about if you are. He is very caring about students learning opportunities.
Hamza Khan is by far the best instructor I have had during my undergrad. He is so knowledgable about the subject matter and makes a real effort to connect to the students. He is what all professors should strive to be. If you can take one of his classes, please do so.
Hamza's approach to teaching is awesome and rare. Because there wasn't any tests, I felt like I could really learn things instead of focusing on memorizing material. You can tell he's very passionate in social media and is very encouraging with students.
He is the best professor i have every had in university by far. The only class i love coming to because he is so funny and makes learning fun! The content is very interesting, and he is just so understanding and connects with his students.
Amazing class with a more amazing professor. 10/10
Hamza is incredible! He truly understands what young adults care about when browsing social media, as well as what tools are best for us to learn. I think the fact that he is young and able to use those platforms better than us (but still doesn't treat us condescendingly) is really refreshing, especially as a media teacher. Would recommend 100%!
The lectures were all very entertaining and he really makes an effort to connect with the class through lively discussion. Overall a very easy class, great for boosting a GPA!
There's really nothing bad to say about him, this class was a real gem. All the assignments were actually worthwhile or thought-provoking, lectures had fun group activities, the content was relevant and tailored to what the class wanted, and the course outline is laid out initially so that you can be in control of your time management. Really gr8!
Extremely easy course. You don't have to show up to pass the class. Just hand in the assignments on time. Also the professor is outgoing/energetic which keeps the class engaged. No regrets will develop after taking this course.
A great class to learn about the power of social media and personal branding. The class was very engaging and assignments are pretty straight-forward. Could pass if you skip class but you'll miss out on fun lecture activities, bonus marks and the chance to ask guest speakers questions. #1 TIP: start the qualification assignments early
Hamza is an amazing person and everyone should consider taking this course. Not only is it an easy grade booster but I also genuinely enjoyed it!
honestly, one of my favourite classes ever! super helpful for personal branding and Hamza is very friendly and helpful. Would take this class again if I could!
Amazing professor. One of my favourite classes I've ever taken
Hamza is an amazing prof. He really cares about his students and sends out surveys (for marks) about how the class can improve and how we are feeling. His lectures aren't mandatory but I attended every single one because of how engaging the content was. Social Media is hard to teach but he kept all content relevant and current. Take this class!!
Professor Hamza Khan is by far one of the best professors at Ryerson University. He cares about each and every one of his students and every lecture is engaging. He helps each student to reach their specific goals and always welcomes class discussions on every topic. He is so inspiring and makes learning fun. Social Media was my favourite class.
Hamza is the best professor I have had thus far during my time at Ryerson. He is engaging, insightful, accommodating, and creates a very positive learning environment. The work was not difficult, but it was engaging and really made me feel as though I was learning a lot. I look forward to taking more classes with Hamza in the future!
You know those teachers you have all throughout your life that you'll never forget? He's one of them! sounds so cliche ik but he is just that good. An amazing person who cares about his students and what they learn, and also someone you'd want to get to learn from! Wish he had more classes at RU i would take all of them lol
Best professor out there. Thank you Hamza for an amazing semester!
Hamza is a great guy and means well, but his Social Media class unfortunately didn't meet my expectations as there were multiple lectures and assignments that were irrelevant and not very useful. I would've liked much more attention to actually building everyones personal brands rather than writing blog posts or learning about how Trump got elected
Hands down the most student-friendly prof. at Ryerson. He is so understanding and really takes the time to center the course around your needs. He WANTS you to pass like he literally designs the course for you to get an A. He's so supportive, friendly, accessible, and understanding. You NEED to take his class!
Really thoughtful teacher who pays attention to student needs which makes you want to pay attention! We explored really cool topics which were all relevant.
Probably the best prof I've ever had. He makes lectures super interesting and engages with the class, he's very kind and easy to reach and he genuinely wants you to succeed in his class. Gonna miss this class, thank you for a great semester!
He's accessible and makes course concepts applicable to real field--always. An engaging lecturer and always willing to give feedback and talk about grades if there's an issue. He cares about his students and makes the classroom an easy-going, lively place. If you show up and do the work you'll get an A. Highly recommend.
Simply put, Hamza is a life changing prof. His class is what all educational institutions should strive for. I never had the urge to touch my phone once, and he puts in that extra effort to personally relate to whomever he's teaching. I took his class amidst the beginning of covid-19 and he made a bad situation a fun one. I'll always remember it.
For an 8AM online Zoom lecture he was extremely positive, motivational, energized, extremely understanding and just a pleasure to have him as my Professor.
Absolutely loved my class with Hamza. He has amazing energy and is clearly passionate about every topic, making you want to be passionate as well! He knows how to laugh with the class, and has is super supportive with every student. The workload he gives out is super reasonable. It's a class I had a lot of fun taking and took a lot away from it. :)
This is one of the most useful classes to take in this day and age, and Hamza makes the content very enjoyable!
Hamza adapted very well to the online format and managed to keep me engaged despite the zoom setting being incredibly disengaging for many classes. Hamza also works to incorporate a diverse group of guest lecturers, all of whom provided unique perspectives and insights on their specific subjects.
Hamza is such a great professor! He brings his energy to every class and is very very funny! Love his attitude and perspective on popular topics in social media. This class is an easy A. The marking is not very complicated and you don't have to work hard for marks, beware of two online certifications (worth 30% total). Get them done early!
Literally THE BEST PROF EVER! I'm so glad that I took his class! Gives absolutely the best lectures-- lectures that keep the class going and keeps everyone hyped! Gives out pretty fun assignments that are actually useful for preparing our future. Can also earn extra credit through group work! Take this class! You won't be disappointed!
I loved this class and Hamza is hands down the best prof I've ever has. I would take this class again and recommended it to anyone. He is actually the best.
I had an amazing time with Hamza in the web design class! I learned a lot and was able to leave the class with a website that I am proud of. He is a great teacher and is super supportive and knowledgable. He also brings in guest lecturers which is always great too!
a 3hr social media class that's packed with information but it is all meant to help you develop professionally. He's a phenomenal presenter and keeps you engaged that you truley don't realize the time passing. He remains current and update and does his best to deliver the tools needed for the semester. Most importantly he's an understanding prof.
Best professor I've had, great lectures, he really knows how to keep students engaged. he was so understanding and kind even before COVID hit. He genuinely wants you to do well in his course and will do anything he can to help you. Would absolutely take a course taught by him again.
Hamza is a wonderful professor. His classes are very welcoming and he makes sure to start the class with some inspirational words and get us in the mindset for learning. His presentations are interesting, eye catching and easy to understand. Work is relatively easy and always relates to the topic. There are many great speakers too! Def sign up!
great prof, inspiring and gives you freedom. very passionate and cares about student success. We <3 you Prof. Khan!!! keep doing what you're doing (:
Incredible prof, super personable, and will help you succeed. He truly cares about making your individual experience matter.
Hamza was a great prof for his social media class. Always insightful, open to having class discussions and clear that he genuinely wants his students to do well. King!
This class is like entering a live podcast and getting a social media run down in record time. It covers current events and explores how the digital world impacts our lives. Hamza has created a couple of thought provoking group assignments & provides a lot of guidance on how to establish your brand online through different means and platforms.
The best teacher ever and an amazing teaching style. Hamza understood we had other classes & would give us little homework & the homework we did get was easy, relatable, and enjoyable. I wish he taught more classes! If you have any interest in social media TAKE THIS CLASS! He does bonus mark activities that are optional but super fun and easy!
Hamza is literally the best prof that I have encountered at Ryerson, so engaging and interesting and relatable!
Wow! best professor I ever had. You can tell he is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he makes his lectures engaging. Guest speakers are connected with the social media industry and gives insights about the industry. Would take this prof again.
I appreciate how genuine and enthusiastic Hamza is as a professor. I've never had a professor that presented each lecture with that much passion and used every class to engage in meaningful discussions with the rest of the class. I can tell that Hamza truly cares about his students and what they take out of the class and guest lectures.
Hamza is a phenomenal professor and engaging speaker. His classes are fun and engaging that you don't even notice that you're learning a lot! Hamza is the best professor I've ever had and I'm really grateful to have learned from him. He truly has the gift of teaching because he deeply cares for his students.
Hamza is hands down the best professor I've ever had, I was actually excited to come to each lecture as he taught every topic so passionately and always kept it interesting. The content is great and the grading is easy too. Loved everything about this course and how it was taught. He hooks you up with many connections to network aswell. 100/10!
How are we so lucky to have someone like Hamza grace this school? He is the absolute G.O.A.T.! Super laid-back, very funny, easy marker, and gives out bonus marks like candy. Workload seems like a lot, but the majority can be completed weeks before they're due. Plus, fun guest speakers each class. DO NOT MISS OUT ON HAMZA OR RTA902!
I mean how can I not leave an amazing review. He is so captivating with his lectures. You might not need to go to class, but trust me your going to WANT to. His classes were a great note to end the week on. You'll smile at least once every time you go to class. Also like 30% of your grade is pass/fail on something really easy to finish.
Hamza's a great professor who cares about students wanting to come to class and take value from his lessons over assigning a ton of assignments. He even made adjustments at Week 8 to cut back deadlines so we could focus on learning - he's a knowledgable and accomplished prof - only wish we learned more about social media strategy and less theory.
Professor Hamza is extremely socially aware, and is very understanding of every student. He's pretty big on mental health too, and I think that's incredible. Due to our classes being switched offline midway through the semester, he understood that it was stressful and without us even asking, he extended all the deadlines to the last day of school.
