Hes a good teacher as long as u study on ur own. I had him for summer 2. He goes a lil too fast. You gotta practice alot on ur own. There are three exams, n each with bonus ques. I think he curves too. Over all a good teacher. You dont need a buk, He puts up all the slides.

He's hard to understand, and goes way too fast. I don't like classes in which the teachers are useless. I shouldn't have to teach myself. In this class, you will. He gives zero notifications of when things are due, he expects you to constantly check Learning Web, which he himself doesn't keep updated! Don't take him unless your really into physics.

You never know what he expects from you in class. He grades the labs and tests and doesn't explain why he takes off for the things he does.

If you take lab+lecture,he expects you to know the concepts for lab before he even teaches it in lecture. So prelabs of something you've never learned are due in class.

Labs reports are graded out of 45 points. He said, "I have never given a 45 in all of my years of teaching." This says it all. No matter what you do, you will never ever get a 45 because "reports can always improve" even if you follow all directions perfectly. He doesn't realize that him doing this for no reason messes up your GPA. Avoid him!

The only Professor at HCC who knows Physics inside out and can actually teach better than anyone else at HCC. If you want to learn Physics, then take him, but he is not an Easy A professor.

Out of all my professors throughout my undergraduate, Professor Bukhari was the worst I ever had. Between 3 hours of lectures 3 times a week, random quizzes in class with no way to make it up, and at least 10 homework due a week this class is a nightmare on top of being horribly taught. 3 exams and a final all heavily weighted. Take elsewhere!!!

Ok so I didn't pay attention to any lectures, however he does offer these chapter reviews that have questions that make up the bulk of the exam and I vigorously practiced them. So just practice the exam/chapter reviews and do the homework. He drops the lowest exam and replaces it with the final so overall I would say he's a good professor.

Took him over the summer for physics II, seems to be well informed over the subject and taught class well, did go deep into unnecessary topics that took up class time, but adjusted exams in case exam topics not taught in time. Read the textbook and redo all homeworks to prepare for exams. Prepare for lots of homework if taken over the summer.

not the best but also not the worst. prepare to do lots of homework. abt 8 a week. the tests were questions pulled from the hw but with different numbers so def know how to do it well and you will be fine. lectures are long and boring, spent a chunk of time on unnecessary things. emailing him for hw help makes you more confused so ask during class.

Prof is nice but this is a difficult class. Administers exams one question at a time so you cannot go back to previous questions. Exam questions are predominantly fill in the blank so if you round wrong or fail to use appropriate units, you will easily fail exams. He writes his own exams and the wording is hard to understand and feel unfamiliar

I took him for my physics labs and lectures and he is a good professor. Specifically because he offers these online chapter reviews that have practice questions that will appear on the exams and the questions are fairly dense so you learn a lot. Also the exam replaces the lowest exam grade. He offers extra credit too and is a very fair teacher.

You have to go out of your way to find a professor as bad as him. Very boring lectures, and will act like he wants to help you but if anything makes your situation worse. I had an internet issue during the exam and I ended up only having 15 minutes to take the exam, which are mainly free response. Please rescue your GPA and avoid this man!

Professor Bukhari is one of the most caring professors. He cares about his students making sure everyone understands the material and he welcome to answer questions. He gave many extra credit opportunities. If you pay attention to his lecture and do your work, you take an A. I am bad at Physics, but he makes me understand it. highly recommend him.

Online anytime summer semester. Was super easy as long as I paid attention to the lectures. Prof. Bukhari thoroughly explained everything and guided you step-by-step during the math parts. Exams are EXACT questions on the homeworks. Responds quickly to emails. No EC, or makeups. Best prof at HCC for physics, the others I've had don't teach well.

The highest exam 2 score for the whole class was 71. Everyone, except for one student, failed. A makeup exam had to be given for everyone to retake. I got a B for the semester.

Extremely bad lecturer with a quiet and monotonous voice. Fell asleep almost every class. Half the class drops by the second exam and the other half are not paying attention. Fortunately he gives lots of extra credit by the end of the semester to pass. Be prepared to teach yourself concepts.

Some may say he was boring but that's just physics sometimes. When prof Bukhari would work out a problem it was easy to follow and he would gladly answer any questions you had. I also found the videos provided online extremely helpful when I was struggling to understand. Exams are nothing crazy and are similar to hw and reviews. One of the best tbh

He laid out what was covered throughout the course simply, and went through each of the topics so we have an understanding of it. A simple but great professor.

This professor is very smart, caring, and funny. Exams were not difficult if you understood the material and focused during lecture. Its very easy to get an A especially on exams because he takes the best score from MCQ and FRQ. You just have to apply yourself and actually study.

Pre-class quiz and in-class quiz ever class. The worst in-person class I've ever had. Don't be deceived by the ratings, all the good ratings are for the high school level physics classes. This is a serious warning. If no other professors are available wait till the next semester to take physics and find a decent one. This guy is worse than bad.

Professor Bukhari is one of my favorite instructors at HCC. He is incredibly smart and highly knowledgeable. Exams are a piece of cake if you study, no tricks or traps. He is also very lenient and kind with students.
