Dr. Mahmud is a hard teacher. His accent is hard to tell sometimes what he is talking about. He does just lecture off of his powerpoint presentations. BE CAREFUL HE SAYS TO STUDY FOR THIS BECAUSE IT WILL BE ON THE TEST AND WILL NOT BE ON THE TEST!!! He is not willing to work with the student at all. I wouldn't take this guy if I were you!!

Terrible teacher. If you are an interactive learner this will be the hardest class you ever take. He is not willing to explain concepts in depth, he doesn't use any form of teaching tactic besides lecturing, and he gets very frustrated if you ask questions. His accent is hard to understand. I would suggest taking the class online.

He literally said, "I don't care if every single one of you fail my class." Econ is hard to understand and even harder when you can't understand if he's speaking English. Hard class from a professor who doesn't care at all.

Dr. Mahmud is soo hard. Your grade depends 100% on tests and quizzes. There is no homework. If you are a terrible tester like me, then you will fail his class. Would recommend not taking from him if you can. This was the first class in my 5 years of college that I actually failed.

Honestly one of the worst professors I have ever had. He is straight up rude, yells at students. Grades depend on quizzes, attendance, and tests. Extremely difficult quizzes and tests. No offense to him but he is very hard to understand, which isn't his fault. But it is a hard subject and the language barrier definitely plays a big part.

AWFUL! AVOID CLASS. he basically throws the book at you and expects you to figure everything out on your own with little help. No remorse for students at all.

He is the WORST professor I've ever had. He has no idea what he is doing, and half the time the students are teaching him how to use basic excel functions. He does not care about grading exams and will take his sweet time to let you know what your grade is. He doesn't care about his students or the class itself. Do not take a class with him.

Don't take his class unless you love your classmates teaching you the material. He acts like he knows nothing about statistics or excel. He will make mistakes and the other students have to correct him. But, when it comes to grading, you get no lei way what so ever. He takes about a month to grade all of your assignments. Worst teacher I've had.

Awful, he grades based on a few assignments and then 2 tests that are 35% of your grade each. I hated this class and it is my only class in college I got a D in. Normally an A student. I took this class with someone else and understood the material and passed with flying colors.

His grading is unfair and very hard to understand

Tough grader, didnt grade assignments fast so I didnt know what I needed to study and fix for the test. Grades based on only a few things and hard to understand. It was durning covid and he almost made our class take an in person exam. Unfair and takes pride in people not passing his class

Do not take this class. Worst class ever, he gave out a 2 1/2 hour test on thanksgiving break due the Wednesday before thanksgiving. Doesnt grade your assignments but says the test are just like the assignments. If you fail his test you pretty much fail the class

The only things you're graded on are a few tests and the final. No assignments or anything. This was my only professor that didn't do assignments or even extra credit. So if you are anything like me and suck at tests, don't take this class or you will fail. The class is not entertaining and I would not take it if I had the option. 2/10

He Definitely knows the material, but Dr. Mahmud would absolutely beg for participation. If you gave a wrong answer, you would get blasted in front of the entire class and made to feel like an idiot. His grading system was a little strange. Whatever canvas says is totally wrong. He keeps his own spreadsheet and you need to figure it out.

This is by far the worst teacher for Math. His accent is hard to understand and he makes you feel like an idiot and yell at you if you don't understand or are trying to keep up with him

I actually took his class for stats 2040 he acts like you know the topic before your start the class. and he goes wayyy too fast and his accent makes it hard to understand whats going on in class definitely don't recommend him for stats.

He takes pride in students not passing. He waited until finals week to grade ALL of our assignments (which are worth 35% of our grade), so you basically have no idea how youre doing in the class. The average test score was a 56% on the second exam he gave, and he wont curve it. Clearly these scores reflect on him. Worst professor Ive ever had.

One of the worst classes I have yet to take here at Dixie State. I would not recommend taking a class from him. I did not understand any of the material and ended up failing the final exam.

He takes pride in students doing poorly in his class. Your entire grade is based off just a few tests and quizzes. Offers very little help and covers each topic one time and one time only. He will not hesitate to insult a student/class for having questions. I cannot stress enough how much I regret taking his class, and I got a good grade.

He grades on quizzes, exams, and attendance only. He has a thick accent that is hard to understand. He rarely returns emails. He is not a very nice or understanding person. All exams/ quizzes are given in the testing center, only gives a 10 hour window to take them, but does not make exceptions for anyone who cannot take it during that time period.

Probably one of the worst professors I have ever had experience with. The man claims to respond to messages and emails within 24 hours. However, I have had to wait up to a week to get an answer if I even get one at all. When he has responded to me he often completely disregards the issue. DO NOT TAKE FROM THIS PROFESSOR!

The reason I passed his class was because of my own due diligence. I stopped going to his lectures because I couldn't understand him, and found it more beneficial to teach myself. As a result I dropped a whole letter grade! I don't even bother asking for help or even extra credit because of his condescending attitude towards his students. Good luck

Waits until after the Final Exam to grade assignments and Exams. So, don't expect feedback. Have fun not knowing what to study :)

The class was a month behind the syllabus at all times and he never updated it. Doesnt grade anything until the last 2 days of the semester so youll never know where you stand. Lectures borderline impossible to understand. Makes mistakes in his own lectures. Tests are very hard to understand. Average on tests was always a D or lower. Do not take!

The absolute worst professor I have ever met. I have always put lots of effort in classes and always received A's. However, this class I failed (C-) and the professor refused to offer extra credit. He slurs his words in lectures and it's impossible to understand his accent. Please do whatever you can to avoid him and go with literally anyone else.

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. His accent is soooooo hard to understand and he says if you can't understand him just read the book. The book has absolutely nothing to do with the tests and your whole grade is tests. After studying for a few hours to get a good grade on the first exam just to fail it is diminishing. Try to avoid him as much as possible.

This class is very difficult already and add his accent on top of it, nearly impossible. He frequently made fun of students for not knowing the answer to questions or not knowing the answer fast enough. He was not helpful and was really degrading in class.

One week till the final, and 1 out of 8 assignments have been graded! He never answers questions about the homework because "he covered it in lecture so you should be able to figure it out." When you do ask a question, he makes jokes about it. He just doesn't care about his students is what it feels like. I have always done good in math until now.

Absolutely horrendous do not take under any circumstance.

I have no words... I begged him for extra credit and his response back to me basically said that I knew my grade and should've done better. Normally I always give teachers the benefit of the doubt but I was really disappointed to not even have gotten a genuine response from a sincere email.

Pros:Dr Munir is very smart and knows Econ Cons:He is not a great teacher of Econ. His accent makes it tough to understand anything he says. He expects you to learn everything from his lectures in class. He will make fun of you in class if you don't answer questions correctly. Do not under any circumstances, take this class.

Just take this piece of advice first, don't take economics from this professor if you want to learn economics, even if you just want to get a good grade. I took this class online. The lectures were long and hard to understand. Group projects in an online class and so many unnecessary discussion boards. This is the first review I have ever written.

He is super hard to understand and quick to make fun of students who give wrong answers. The whole class is graded in tests that he takes forever to grade, and the "practice test" is no help. I understand that econ is a difficult subject regardless, however I would do anything I could to avoid having him.

Not a good professor. Do not take this class in person, his attendance is mandatory and spends the entire class lecturing and uses practice tests and study guides that are nothing like the tests. He does not cooperate with any issues with tests or anything you need. Econ is hard but with a terrible professor makes it worse, I do not recommend.

The worst professor I've ever had! He would get upset if anyone had any questions and didn't give any insight on what to study or how to study. The grade is based on 3 exams and 4 quizzes.

Absolutely the worst professor I've had. Posts 3-4 hours of him reading a textbook a week and that is the course. Is not responsive to emails and not willing to work with individuals. He will find any reason to doc your grade.

What a disorienting course. Presentations are great, but the greatness stops there. He doesn't seem to believe in homework, and then all of a sudden there's an afterthought of a group project at the end. Won't take kindly to special requests like taking an exam early, and you will probably get ghosted. He is doing the bare minimum for a class setup

Professor munir is one f those professors that put all the blame on students when the whole class does not get one of his concepts. He never takes any responsability for not being able to teach better. He will also make random questions and make nasty comments if you do not know the answer.

Uninspiring to say the least.

There was a lack of communication all term, it was an online course and so there was no in person period to ask questions or be taught anything. Very difficult to understand through pre recorded video lectures and was a real pain to work with towards the end of term surrounding grading and final grades. Good luck, choose someone else.

Each lesson is him reading over a slideshow, the slides are great but the lack of homework and outside help isn't. Only assignments are quizzes/exams for each section and the final, I struggled on the tests because many questions did not reflect what we learned. His attitude is not the greatest, goodluck!

I had his online course. basically he acted like it was an in person course because he had a group project. it absolutely sucks working with random students when it's online. he expects too much from his assignments and isn't helpful. online class is better than in person. he grades strict on his discussion posts. goodluck!

Utah tech should be embarrassed. Awful representation of the university. Does not communicate, slow to grade, gives no feedback, extremely unreasonable, exams are difficult because they don't reflect what he talks about, not great English, doesn't respond to emails. Even if you're a great student - he'll show you otherwise.

NEVER TAKE HIM! ECON is hard as it is and he is an awful professor. He has a strong south east asian accent which makes it worse. You are graded on four quizzes and three exams. No homework, but it's easy to get lost in his class.
