He is nice guy. He will teach you how to use the SPSS program very well. Let him know you and you will pass. But I do not like his quizzes.
interesting and easy on the eyes
He is a really cool instructor. I had a lot of fun in his course. He works with students, but expects a lot. You will have fun!
Great professor!Very down to earth and inspiring!Loves his job and knows what he's doing.Grades fairly and an understanding person.Take his class.
Has unecessary quizes, and requires you go to class. His class is hard, but he will help you if you meet with him.
Dr. Mobasher is awesome. He loves what he does, and you can really tell when he is lecturing. His attendance policy is cool because it keeps the people out who dont want to be there. He makes sociology very interesting and he is pretty funny. take him if at all possible
I ended up dropping his class on the first day. He seemed very arrogant and unbending. Most people in this school have jobs and families and he didn't seem to understand that.
My God he is awesome. Very passionate teacher. I would take any class that he offers. Always helpful and respectful, even though he gives a tough guy act the first day to lay out the rules. Absolutely love him!
Enjoyed Coming to Class. VERY passionate teacher. Dresses real well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PROFESSOR. Take any class he offers if your interested in learning and want to have a better understanding of the sociological imagination and how it affect you as an individual.
Very passinate about material. My very best professor since coming to UHD. I recommend all to take one of his classes. Exams are a bit hard but with study, you can pass them. He's an A++ in my book.
At first he comes off as a really mean,hard professor. But,if you stick with his class you will see that is far from the truth. He is the best professor I have EVER had,and I looked forward to class. He truly cares and wants his students to learn,and is very understanding. If you study you will pass
This man was awesome. I am a CJ major and took him for a upper class elective. He was a tough guy at first, but he has a good heart. He is dedicated and very educated. He inspired me to understand my studies instead of just memorizing to get an A. If you study and read you will pass. Please take at least one of his classes. Very inspiring!!!
KNOWS HIS STUFF and he is GREAT!!!!
He is smart and HOT! I enjoyed the class and his looks.
He is an okay professor; he is not that great... His teachings are okay, he repeats the same information over and over. It feels like if he is preaching you, not teaching you. He should keep his opinions to his self on delicate issues that deal with USA.
Quizzes at beginning of nearly every class, he's intimating in a dramatic/soap box kind of way. I dropped the class because of quizzes. It is difficult to get to a 530 class. He's very unstructured, and that might work for other people, but not me.
Excellent professor.Passionate about sociology. Quizzes frequently but were only 1 or 2 questions. Many articles to read but no required text which was great. Keep up with your reading & you would do well. Very clear & thorough. He would repeat the information so you would be able to take notes. He encouraged you to ask questions. Great class!
This professor can get under your skin. You MUST open your mind to the ideologies that he teaches and is so passionate about. The readings are long; and I never was able to finish all of them. You MUST attend class as he gives quizzes & shows videos; plus if you don't, you truly miss alot of knowledge. I would take Dr. M again in an instant.
This professor is very passionate about his profession. It's great attending his classes because one comes out with more knowledge than before you came in with.
He is very passionate in his teaching and extremely knowledgeable in his field as well. Easy and a pleasure to listen to. He is willing to help his students understand concepts and theories if they are confused. TAKE HIM!!!! He seems like a tough guy on the first couple of days, but is really soft and kind provided you are there to learn. :)
This is a great prof! He really enlightens you if you allow yourself to get into the class. He goes beyond the surface and teaches for understanding not memorization. He was everything that a real professor should be with a passion for conveying the subject matter. Hint:turn you cell phones off and don't be late!
must read all your assignments. take notes. attend all classes. innitially professor seems hard but he's assertive and has a great passion for his field. you will learn alot from him. awesome professor.
He is great. I love him. He is so passionate and caring. He loves teaching and his students. He is the best professor I have ever had. He is also good looking and hot.
Dr. Mobasher is just awesome in all aspects. You have to open your mind to what he has to say, but by the end of class you will see things in an entirely new light. Read the books he recommends--they are interesting. If I could take another class with him I would do it. Take this class, but don't show up late!
HE IS VERY OPEN ABOUT WHATS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD AND ECONOMICS, BUT REFUSES TO BE ACTIVE IN THE MODERN WORLD. HATES CELL PHONES, COMPUTER.ETC. HE ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT HIS COUNTRY AND TRIES TO COMPARE TO U.S. HIS TEST ARE HARD, BUT HAVE TO STUDY, GIVES QUIZ BEFORE CLASS TO MAKE YOU COME EARLY AND THEY COUNT TOWARS YOUR GRADE. HE WILL NEVER MISS CLAS
He was awesome, not an easy A. Hell not an easy B. Just do the readings and study and you will pass. Tests are tricky and we wants you to learn. He loves and knows his stuff. You will learn and never forget what he teaches you and how important it is in life to know. He is an angel trainer who makes you work hard for your wings.
This class is extremely easy. All you have to do to get an A is go to class, take notes, and listen. I studied for an hour right before the tests and got 1 or 2 Q's wrong; they're NOT tricky at all, just common sense. There is only little book and I didn't even read it. EASY EASY EASY A, I don't know what anyone else is talking about.
SERIOUSLY THE MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD! he is such an inspiratioon and is so passionate about his work.His tests are a bit hard BUT if you show up to class you dont even have to open the book. He is so charming! just dont be late or miss class. The BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Very fair, very respectful, and brilliant!
AWESOME TEACHER! attendance is optional,he will keep count on how many times you skipped though, even though the class i was in had50 students!at first he appeared to be strict i was dreading his class but later i realized he's a fun guy.read the book!read articles study for his exams,they're not hard if you pay attention to what he says&take notes
THE MAN IS GOD SENT! SERIOUSLY THE BEST AND HOTTEST PROFESSOR EVER. He doesnt just teach you, he changes you as a person and the way you view things.If you dont take him at least once, you seriously miss out on a great experience!
amazing guy,best teacher i ever had. very clear,tough at first but he's really cool,doesn't take attendence but does keep track of how many times u missed. quizes r kind of tricky if u dont study. exams r easy.i would take another class with him in a heartbeat!
the is the professer I have ever had. do the reading and go to class, and you'll get an good grade. take note and read your wont have any troble passing. he change my outlook on life. he almost cause me to change my major.
I loved this class. It was my favorite class this semester, and i am even planning in changing my major to sociology from psychology. this professor class is easy...just take notes. his test arent tricky, as long as you listen you will be fine
Hes Mad Kool As LOng As u Come To Class Take NOtes And make observations you passing...
THE-BEST-PROFESSOR!!!! He is a really great man and enjoys what he teaches to the fullest. You don't learn only for assignments, but you take his teachings and it actually applies to you in the real world. You will definitey not regret him. Tests only. take him!
Plain and simple, he is one of the most passionate and talented professors at UHD. Don't miss an opportunity to learn from him.
He is a very understanding and wants students to be engaging. Readings were difficult but lectures were crystal clear. 1 midterm, 1 final, 10 page paper and a presentation. You really have to focus on the readings to pass his exams. He wants students to act collectively, as a democracy, if you want him to change the syllabus.
Very passionate about the subject material, which makes for a very engaging class. You must stay on top of the readings to be successful, and you will definently look at the world differently after taking this class.
I am not all that interested in sociology but I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Mobasher's class and learned life changing lessons. I would take any class he offered.
Awesome teacher really knows his stuff makes class interesting and really easy class to pass :)) strongly recommended
Amazing teacher. Gives great lectures and is very involved in what he teaches. Tests are from lectures and the books/hand outs. Read/review/pay attention, super easy, really interesting to listen to him and he's really interested in his students and what they observe outside of last. Serious, take this PROF!!
Great, engaging professor. 3 exams, no papers, no additional assignments. If you come to class and take notes, you will do well in his course. Keep an open mind and listen, you will learn a lot. Exams are not based on memorization, but rather how you can apply the knowledge you have learned to real scenarios. Will definitely take him again!
Great teacher, knows his stuff, exlpains material very well. anyone can pass. just go to class take notes. and you will pass.
This Professor is smart and direct he will tell what he expects no cellphone use just sit and listen and write notes. This class is simple take good notes and pay attention and read his articles and you will pass. He gives reviews but the only way you can do it is by the lecture in class.
He is not clear on his lectures, they are all over the place. Difficult to take notes and follow what he is saying. Test are hard.
this class is easy as long as you sit and listen. he goes straight to the point and he is old fashioned but his lectures are so interesting.if you are willing to be in class everyday and take good notes this class is an easy A+
Dr. Mobasher is PASSIONATE about teaching! Though he does not make attendance mandatory, he is so attentive, that he knows which students miss class or come in late without taking role. He is very engaging and seems to care about the students. If you attend class, you will have what you need to pass his exams. No textbook. :)
AMAZING PROFESSOR. He is by far my favorite professor. TAKE LOTS OF NOTES. He says his exams are not easy but i found them to be easy. He uses different scenarios as the questions on the test so he can make sure you understand what he teaches and not just memorizing it. Very interesting class and amazing professor! I highly recommend him :)
Dr M is AWESOME! He is so incredibly passionate about the material you can not help but become interested in the topics he discusses. Attendance is not mandatory but you will want to go to class. Exams are multiple choice. Gives an extra credit assignment. Highly recommended
Great professor!
Professor Mobasher is a great professor. He is passionate about what he teaches and he is helpful. Not to mention he is pretty hot. Attendance is not mandatory, but the tests are based on his lectures. Pay attention, take notes, and study. You will do fine.
Great teacher. Genuine. One of my favorite professors. Very passionate about the subject. If you want to pass attend class and listen. If you want an A, take detailed notes. Tests can be difficult because they are scenario-based, but if you actively engage, you will do fine.
This man changed my life. Professor Mobasher is of the most passionate people i have ever met. It's hard not to be motivated by his lectures. Extremely compassionate towards his students. Best professor at UHD.
Very engaging and obviously dedicated to the field. Can get sidetracked pretty often, but otherwise a good lecturer. Attendance not mandatory, but doesn't post lecture notes online, so you need to show up to class
No homework. 3 tests. Didn't buy textbook, didn't need it. But do need to take lots of notes in class. He emphasizes what you need to know for the tests. If you miss a class, get notes or buy the book. Doesn't take attendance but if you miss a lot, it will reflect on your test grades. Encourages students to come to his office hours for help.
have to work for grade in Dr. Mobashers class. doesnt look at test grades as much, he looks at participation in class and wants to see that you are learning. he is so awesome! i would take 20 more classes with him. got Bs in both classes i took with him. he will change your life. loved his class!! intro reads his book globalization has articles.
He is one of the best professor ever. I took two of his classes so far and I would take more classes if I can. 3 tests and extra credit.
Very passionate professor. Amazing lectures, He is a very thoughtful professor and loves what he teaches. you should definitely take his class if you have the chance.
He is the best Professor I've had. Very passionate about what he teaches.
OMG!!!! He is one of the best professors I have ever had!!!!! He lectures in away no one gets left behind, I would recommend you take every class you need that's offered with him Professor Mobasher really is the Best!!!! He does not make you
Dr. Mobasher was awesome on all levels. Makes me want to pursue a doctorate in sociology.
May seem intimidating at first, but he's actually a very passionate professor. He made it very clear on the first day that he won't have any BS in his class. His teaching style is smooth and clear. I definitely recommend him.
Honestly this man is AMAZING!! I was very judgmental but, that quickly changed while in his class. He'll tell you if you have a close mind please drop my class because we won't get along lol. Only 3 grades including the final, lectures until class ends, and no homework. PAY ATTENTION in his class everything he say's will be on the test. GOOD LUCK
Awesome !! Lectures are great , leaving wanting to know more. Attendance is not a must but should go ,you'll miss important info. He love for you to go to his office , just say hi :) . Your cell phone in class is a huge NOOO !
Very clear and eye opening class , I recommend for freshman to take this class with him!
This teacher is really good, I wished I had taken his class a bit more seriously. I didn't go to class as much as I thought I would. I went to only 3 lectures prior to the test. I was super bad, but anyway I think I would've done better if i took it more seriously. I passed his class though. Seriously go to class, dont take advantage of no attenden
Professor Mobasher is my favorite professor at UHD so far hands down. He's the first professor to have my complete attention from beginning to the end of class. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and it shows in his lectures. He can get deep, he can be funny, only 3 tests and 1 final. No quizzes. 10/10 Definitely recommend his class.
His online class requires a lot reading. he only gives 3 tests; questions are taken from assigned articles, text book and supplemental videos. he posts discussion questions to gauge your understanding of concepts. he is very helpful, just be ready to earn your grade - yes, i would take him again.
Teaches globalization from a communist perspective. This is great if you plan to work in foreign affairs/intelligence/etc to learn how many in the East think. If you plan to work in corporate America, this class will actually make you less employable. Weekly small writing assignments & quizzes, presentation, midterm/final. Overall a good prof.
Mobasher is the best professor I've ever had, hands down. His lectures are amazing, and the subject matter is engaging and enlightening. I plan on taking every class he offers. A few tips: Go to class, put your cell phone away, be on time, and take notes. You'll have three multiple choice tests, and that's it. Extra credit opportunity too.
Great, informative professor. Attend ALL lectures if you want to pass. He really cares that you change your way of thinking instead of only memorizing material for tests. He says if you make an A in class, but still have the same mindset, you really haven't learned anything. No cellphones. Definitely take him!
Professor Mobasher is an author, and you can see his passion for the study of sociology. He's better to take as a live course, not online.
don't take this course ONLINE! i repeat DONT! this online course has to be he hardest course i've ever taken. there is only 3 test and many, many videos, articles and books to prepare for that course. i study for the 1st test and most of the class failed.
Prof Mobasher is an amazing professor. He really cares about his students and having them really LEARN, not just get a letter grade. A lot of reading and videos. Exams were challenging, and there are only 3, but what you take from the course is what is truly valuable. He will always reach out and give feedback if you ask. Take in person if possible
Dr. Mohsen is a very practical professor. His syllabus is very simple, only gives three exams, gives around four points of extra credit on each exam. Gives out one gender role project super easy and smooth. You have to read the textbook to get an idea of what he will be testing us on, also if you watch the videos the exams will be a breeze.
One of the best inspirational teachers that I've taken at UHD. He simply doesn't care about letter grades and will tell you this. Also., lectures are amazing and engaging. That is something that you wouldn't want to miss. He makes you think outside the box and most of all he is very caring. Must take you wont regret!!!!!
This was an excellet class. Awesome instructor. Attention: ONLINE classes require good time management skills! If you read the textbook and the resources he posts, you will succeed. Only three exams and one project. Replies emails quickly and gives helpful feedback. Do not wait at the end of the semester to talk to him. Keep in touch as you go
Took this class online. Each week we had to read and watch videos provided in the syllabus. Gives one project and three exams. Provides reviews for the exams. As long as you read and watch the videos, the exams and project shouldn't be too difficult. Professor is quick to respond and gives helpful answers to your questions.
I took his class in person and I personally prefer in person because he doesn't give PowerPoints, he only lectures and you have to write what he says. You can ask him to repeat. 3 exams, one simple project (you're free to present but you don't have to); he will play vids in class (some of the stuff will be on the exams). Gives more details in class
Took this class Spring 2018, actually enjoyed it. You have to keep up, but Dr Mobasher is great and if you reach out for help he will help you any way he can. Very nice and gives good feedback. I also took him for SOC 1303 online and the classes are structured the same. 2 exams, 1 final and 1 major paper.
Dr Mobasher is a excellent professor. Took this class online Spring 2018 and did not have any issues. He explains what he wants in the syllabus just follow along and you will do fine. Gives Exam reviews study those and you will make an A. Super helpful if you express you need help with something, very nice. He loves what he does and it shows.
Cultural Anth was easy. Lots of reading as you have 2 books. Grades are 3 test and a project which was easy enough. Test are easy IF you study the chapters. He gives an outline of what you need to study. My only gripe is that the instructions for the project were not as detailed as they should've been. pick 10 ads, TURN THEM IN W/UR PAPER! Easy A
Lots of reading. Only 3 exams & 1 project due. Can be rude to students other than that class was ok. Would not take again.
Amazing, supportive, and really helpful professor. Easy A TAKE HIM 100% :)
JUST TAKE HIM!!! 100% recomended!!!! easy, amazing, helpful professor.
Read the 2 books & you will pass, the discussions are not graded, but if u do them he might bump ur grade up if you need it like i did . 4 exams one project. he responds to emails. Easy A
This is by far the worst experience ive had thus far with any professors. All he did was post powerpoints and articles to read, we never met on zoom; no homework either. Only 2 exams, 1 project and the final also gave harsh feedback for minor details on project. Would truly not recommend. I will have to retake and am not happy about that.
Had so many articles and videos to watch for no reason. His book had nothing to do with the exams and it was just a waste of time!! I would not recommend him!!
Study vocab flashcards&download them(They tend to disappear) WORST PROFF. 2 textbooks(1 he wrote) and then he posts a bunch of articles/videos on bb . grades consists of 3 tests&1 easy project. I didnt read any of the textbooks he required us to buy. only read the bb articles/video and studied vocab flashcards on bb. PASS HIS TESTS OR FAIL CLASS.
Definition of learn it yourself class. Resources he provides for tests are helpful. Soci textbook is helpful take some notes a few days before test and learn them thoroughly you'll ace the tests. Did not use his textbook but I know it's free online. Overall pretty good class, beware you have to put in the work he will not guide you like other prof!
