Hard to understand at first, but you get used to him. He is very helpful and wants you to do well in his class. One the the few teachers that actually understands and remembers what it is like to be a student. Very nice guy who wants to help!!!

Good teacher, but the class was the worst!!! I hated it, but Alam was helpful with questions.

Really wants students to do well and makes himself available more than any professor i've ever met! Is a little hard to understand sometimes, but it's very easy to get used to! Would def. take a class from him again!

He is a really good teacher and explains things really well. However, his tests are hard.

He teaches as though it is a graduate class. In order to do well you must read the book and be prepared to spend a lot of time studying with others. His lectures are not great but he is willing to clarify things during his office hours.

Imam is a nice guy who give lots of examples, and is willing to help you out. Material is just hard to learn. He gives you the tools to do the best that you can.

I believe that he was a good teacher. His test were not easy but it is a hard class. I would take him again.

I thought that it was a hard class, but you get out of it what you put into it, with our class he had a lot of "class time", not just office hours to help, and he made it easier for me to understand what i was doing, and i am by no means a math/

He was so helpful and willing to make time for students. He was difficult, but I felt well prepared for exams. However, the final is brutal.

He is great and willing to help

He is a good teacher who explains the material pretty well. His tests are hard and he puts questions on there that he expects you to miss. He is very dry and dull but sometimes cracks some dry jokes. has tons of examples and has review sessions.

Alam is very nice and wants his students to do well. Tests are a little difficult, but everything comes from notes and class examples. Explains things very well. Great professor!

I had Mupasiri the semester before and he is 100 times better. Has in class examples that he goes over so if you go to class you should have no problem. The tests are over the notes and have problems just like the sample ones that you do in class. I would recommend him.

He is a very good teacher...very funny. Explains things well and will take time after class to go over things. Test are kind of hard, but if you redo the problems you did in class you will be fine.

Is willing to listen to other points of view and is not afraid to be challenged, intellectually. Provides many examples in class and assigns problems (not required) to assist you with the material. Is very knowledgeable in the subject matter. Course material is fairly difficult but if you attend class, it will benefit you a great deal.

He is an awesome teacher. I took stats with a different prof and failed and now I'm getting a B in his class. Hard to understand sometimes but he goes over the material so you will understand it. He's always willing to help if you need it.

Got a B with him after I failed with Uyar. Great teacher, very helpful, learned alot.

I thought professor Alam was a good teacher. The tests are not that hard as long as you study for them a lot and he's more than willing to help anyone that doesn't understand the material.

Very nice guy that explains the material very clearly. Interested in student learning. Gives examples that are helpful. Those that go to class, put forth effort seem to do well.

Alam is a good teacher and he wants all of his students to do well. Unfortunatly i found his tests to be extremely difficult, as did the rest of my class. Do not underestimate the tests, and study hard. He also does not curve anything.

He is a pretty good teacher, I learned thing pretty easily! Tests arn't to bad just as long as you understand how to do the problems! I definity recommend him!

Awesome teacher. Goes out of his way to help you if you need it. Understood everything he taught in business statistics. I'm so glad I chose to take him for this class.

Great class. Provides many examples. If you need extra help he is very helpful during office hours. If you pay attention in class and take notes the tests shouldn't be a problem. 3 tests. 4 quizzes but drops 1

Look out on this professor, he can be hard to understand and tests are not something you can review the night before. You take a lot of notes, but he explains everything well and if you study hard you will do fine.

Good professor come to class take notes and you should be fine. 5 quizzes and 3 tests.

My favorite professor-if you show interest he will go endless lengths to help you. His tests are very straightforward - do the work, practice from the textbook and understand your notes and you'll do great. even if you hate stats.

Best Math teacher out there. Had him first semester and got an A. Go to every class, write down all the examples he does, and do all the practice problems he says you should before the test. I asked him about one question in the book he assigned and it ended up being on the test the next day. Also will curve tests, curved ours by 13% one time.

Alam is a very good math teacher. As long as you do the practice problems that he does in class you will get an easy A. For both of the tests so far he has given us 10 extra points each!

Had him for Business statistics Spring of 2010. I didn't do well in his course, but it was because of myself. He is actually a great instructor. If you do his practice problems, and read from the book you should do well. My problem was that I didn't get a book, and couldn't get one later on because it was too late to buy one (wasn't gonna pay 200$)

Very easy class. Very good professor! He is quite funny sometimes also. All you have to do is the practice problems he sends you in an E-Mail periodically to get an A in the course.

He's a great business stats teacher, and he will go over ANYTHING that will go for the test on class. You can ask him at any times if you have doubts. He assumes college students know more than we actually do. Book usage is not required, only if you want to do the practice problems (extra practice). It is not mandatory to get an A to have the book.

Alam is the man! Very easy class. He is also very funny and one of the nicest professors at UNI. Sure he might be a little hard to understand but you will get used to it. Plus statistics is not a hard class so you really do not have to even understand him or even go to class. I got a solid A in the class.

Alam was very strait forward with explaining statistics concepts. Loved how he related it to real world situations. Wished he would give a scheduled syllabus with problems so I could have worked ahead. Overall impressed!

Alam is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I like how he uses his touch screen laptop to display stuff instead of the chalk board. I would highly recommend taking business stats with him!

Kind of hard to understand, but you get used to it. Not a bad teacher, his tests can be kind of tricky. Usually you have 3 problems you have to solve which aren't hard at all. But he has 8 mult choice questions which can be tricky. Overall if you pay attention and show up to class you will do fine. He is always willing to help too.

Imam is a great teacher. He is fun to listen to and is very helpful. I would take him for any class he teaches.

Never really use book. Make sure to go to lecture and then tests are right from that. Assigns practice problems but never looks at them or grades them. Tests are 8 mc and 3 problems that require work. Very specific on processes. English is good and you don't notice accent after first day of class.

Imam Is a great teacher and lectures aren't too bad. Your "homework" and quizzes are a key part of your grade. If you get Cs on the tests you can get a B I the class. Request practice tests for your class.

Easiest Busi. Stat ever. Come to class, do problems with him, you'll get a good grade.

Easy to understand the material and he's generous with grading. Going to class is important and doing the practice problems helps on tests. Easy quizzes and he only keeps the top three. Highly recommend taking business statistics with him!

Important to go to class and take notes. If he gives any practice problems or tests, do them because the test questions are very similar and sometimes identical. Only complaint is that the book was very expensive and I literally opened it one time.

If you have to take business statistics, I would recommend taking it with him. He wants his students to succeed and learn the material, which he knows very well. If everyone does poorly on a test, he will give the class a chance to redeem themselves by writing a short paper to add points onto the test(at least he did for us). Speaks perfect English

Imam is a good guy. He directly lays out what needs to be done during lectures. I had him for Bus Stat and Micro. He curves the final grade slightly and you will get the grade that you earn. I had a B the whole time in Micro and ended up with an A-. I failed one exam in Bus Stat and still got an A. I highly recommend this professor.

He is a great teacher an definitely cares about his students and learning. He adds a lot of value to somewhat dry material and uses good examples to relate material to real life. Overall I would take a mother class with him. Very very smart guy who is a nice person.

Alam is the man, make sure you take him for Bus Stats. Some people think he is hard to understand but I loved his teaching style. Tests involved working out problems and not all multiple choice. Not an easy A but he is the best choice for Bus Stats.

Overall this is a tough course but Professor Alam does a great job of explaining and going through examples. Quizzes every once in a while that are super easy! Got around 70% on every exam and ended with a C+

The content wasn't as difficult as it could have been because he made it understandable. 3 written exams and a final, a few homework assignments from the book, not bad. If you don't understand something, he's more than willing to stay a few minutes after class to help.

He doesn't waste time. The second week of class we had a test. He expects you to be prepared. Make sure you understand the material in the previous lecture (intuitively) for the next class because it all builds. He is super willing to help, but you have to come to him first. He seems condescending in class, but he really is just trying to helpful.

Prof. Alam is a super great guy. He expects a lot from his students and the class isn't really easy. You get a chance to get extra credit on the tests for a 1 page paper on a topic of his choice, so if you do well on the test and then the extra credit you can finish easily with an A. Use the practice tests and suggested problems and you'll be fine.

Greatly detailed

Mr. Alam was my favorite teacher this semester! I bought the book, wish I hadn't. I didn't use it a single time. But I attended class regularly and took good notes. He moves through the course quickly, but if you don't understand something he is accessible outside of class for questions. Responds to emails in a timely manner. I highly recommend!!!!

DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK!!! Just do the examples from class. He also will give extra points when the class average is very low. He really does want his students to succeed. It is a hard class, but put in some effort and you'll be ok! DO THE EXAMPLES FROM THE LECTURES TO STUDY!! I cannot stress this enough because it is exactly like the test!

He offers a lot of extra credit. There's some quizzes and exams. There's two assignments and an extra credit paper. He'll also randomly add extra points to your exam as well. He's a funny guy, and he cares about his students. Definitely an easy A if you work hard enough.

Class seemed tough, he is aware classes are boring and tries his best to make them interesting. Probably gave our class 15-20% increase through extra credit and the curve. You need to go to class, no homework, just suggested problems, tests are fair, again a lot of extra credit and a curve at the end. Ended with an A when I wouldve got a C.

I loved this class, probably my favorite this semester. He is a great teacher that gives plenty of examples. I used the book a few times but would have been fine without it. He offers extra credit after the bigger tests as well. He sends the notes in an email after every lecture too, but I would still recommend going to all of his lectures.

Amazing teacher and a must take. He wants the students to succeed and offers tons of EC. If you do the practice problems he gives you and skim your notes before the test then you will pass easy and likely with a A! So respected and such a great teacher, I would take again in a heartbeat.

I do not understand why Imam gets a bad rep. Hes awesome and gives 10 points extra credit on almost every exam. Bus stat is a hard class but he understands it. He does his best to help you understand the material while also making sure you pass

Lots of info covered in lecture. Stops along the way to make sure class understands info.

He goes fast but explains things very well. Also, he gives you practice problems with answers which are on the exam

Imam Alam is a great professor who cares about his students and is understanding. Macroeconomics is a hard class to begin with, but Alam does a great job explaining the subject matter. His lectures are fast-paced and can be hard to keep up with sometimes, but pay attention and you will do fine.

Long, sometimes boring lectures but that is just the nature of macroeconomics. He displayed the content well in his lectures and uploaded his lecture notes. Everything tested was from the lectures and was relatively straightforward. Good guy.

Lectures the whole class but post lecture notes after class.

He has been the best professor I have had so far in my 3 years of schooling. He has the best lectures, very detailed steps, summarizes all key steps in lectures, and provides sufficient and good class example problems. Very little homework but invest plenty of time learning the key concepts/formulas from lectures.

His lectures and resources are helpful, especially if you're interested in the business world. Though lectures can feel long, the content is engaging. However, quizzes are tricky and require strong preparation—it's hard to score well without regular study and practice.

he's a great professor grading based on quizes and exams all of those are multiple choice questions

This course is required for all business majors, but it is difficult. If you didn't understand the prereq, be prepared to put in work to get a good grade. Imam Alam tries his best to explain the concepts, but some are just confusing. The weekly review sessions are helpful to gain a better understanding as well.
