Dr. Seleem is an awesome professor that truly cares about the students' well-being. His goal is for us all to succeed in this class.

Clear expectations for exams Lots of practice questions, therefore well prepared for exams!
Seriously wish he could teach all of my classes. Clearly cares about his students and that we learn information which will be actually relevant for our careers. I sometimes write his jokes in the margins so I can chuckle while I'm studying. Literally can't recommended him highly enough and I hope Purdue knows what a jem they have.
