CEN is a stupid class in general, but Dr. Amleh really makes it that much worse. The questions on Top Hat are often irrelevant and poorly thought out.

Cant assemble a proper multiple choice question. Often for the in class top hat questions, every answer was correct and you just had to hope you picked the "correct" correct answer.

In order to rate a professor's teaching ability, some amount of teaching has to take place... there was no teaching that took place: at least not from Dr. Amleh. For this course specifically (CEN100), get ready to listen to guest speakers during EVERY SINGLE LECTURE. The work is easy, but there is zero teaching present. Complete joke of a course.

Not inclined to be too harsh on Prof. Amleh, since CEN100 is clearly designed as a rubber-stamp course. It wasn't great, but whatever. As others have said it's almost 100% guest lecturers and a bunch of engineering "life skills". So... whatever. Just get it over with and move on.

Dr. Amleh doesn't exactly teach much during CEN100. However, when she does she explains information well enough. The course itself is a complete waste of time and you don't learn anything of value from it.

The only reason she isn't scored lower is because she's rated for CEN100 which is an introductory class where she does nothing. Her doing nothing is better than everything else she tries to do. I learned nothing from her. In fact, I think I lost braincells because of her. I have no idea how she still teaches despite the massive errors she makes.

Horrible experience. They had GAs walking around like guards making sure students weren't on their phones or doing other classwork. She would not let you in to the lecture and takes pictures of your ID if you are 5 minutes late. It is a mandatory course, and she is the professor so you really have no choice.
