ACC 211-072w 8 Week Hybrid (Ft. Belvoir-Tuesdays 6:30-9:10pm I really enjoyed the class and he is a fun Professor.
Professor Ahmed is extremely reasonable. He's willing to give you opportunities that will help your overall grade, but you have to also be willing to work hard. The class itself is intense, but if you do the work on Blackboard and study for the tests you should be fine.
Because he already knows the information it is kind of hard for him to simplify it in terms you understand. He is helpful if you ask one on one. Just be prepared to do some extra studying outside of the classroom.
Having missed the first two classes due to inclement weather, students especially new one should be give more time to complete the assignments.
Professor Ahmed, is very upfront in regards to his expectations with the class. Due to medical reason I missed a few classes, which made it very hard for me to catch up. He was willing to work with me to catch up. He has the class laughing when you forget to do your homework he will send you a reminder to complete it.
ACC 211-072w 8 Week Hybrid (Ft. Belvoir-Tuesdays 6:30-9:10pm) I took this as an 8 week class. The professor really cares about his students. But beware this is still a really difficult class so you really have to be prepared to work hard outside of class. Maybe it will be easy for you but he offers lots of material in order to help you.
Best professor ever, stress free class.
Hybrid Class. Incredibly friendly/welcoming to his students but he is a pushover when it comes to grading. Ignore all assignment due dates on the syllabus, he doesn't enforce them and students can complete anytime for full credit. Also gives extra points on exams when most of the class misses a question, so those who fail, end up passing.
He has replied to your questions fast and has encouraged to finish homework on time.
Very understanding and very responsive when you email him. He is willing to help students and offers a good amount of tips to succeed in your career.
An organized teacher that is fair when it comes to grading
Take this proffessor if want an easy A. Very caring and will help you a lot thoughout the course.
He gives extra credit and the work is simple as long as you pay attention in class.
Took this in an 8 week format and have two weeks left. I think this course was much more suited to the 8 week format than Acct 211 with the same professor. In regards to Professor Ahmed, he definitely wants to see his students be successful and will bend over backwards to help.
He is a great professor! Just come to class, listen to his lecture, and do your homework. You will get A in his class!
Great Teacher really cares if you pass or fail and his really knowledgeable about accounting in the real world if that is what you are trying to do
His straightforward to the class material during lecture. I took his 8 weeks 212 class, and this was super fast but easy to pass. He will email weekly reminder on due assignments that included 1 Discussion Board question, online homework assignment that give you unlimited attempts and 3 exams with study guide for each. He has a great personality.
Awesome professor. Gives study guides. Exams are easy. Show up for class and study and you will pass.
His study guides are gold, always have it handy & take notes based off study guide questions, you'll be sure to pass with an A. He also cares deeply about his students, he wants you to succeed not just in the course , but in life. Great guy, great class.
i liked the class. homework is a little tedious though
I took acc 211 this semester with professor Ahmed and he is great. Just make sure to look look over the chapter prior to class and do the homework and you will pass. Everything that is on the test is from the handouts that he assign. Great professor
He is very involved in our success in college as a whole and not just his class. The class is extremely easy to follow as long as you come to class and do your homework. And if you miss class just stay on top of the work.
Great teacher will really take the time to help you.
Awesome Professor. Great advise. easy class just show up.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! Easy A. He is very nice. Down to hearth. He gives amazing adult advise.
Great Teacher he wants everyone to pass and just show up for class and you will do fine. Take him!!
Great professor and orator and gets you to understand the subject and how to apply accounting outside of school
He is a really good professor and gives a lot of good feedback and he really cares about students grade and helps everybody to get an A
Great professor with a lot of knowledge
Stress Free Class
Fair professor. Has accounting experience outside of school environment.
Nice professor and enjoyed his class.
A very good teacher
Good professor. Will take again!
This professor is very effective. He provides real world lessons for you to learn the material and how you would potentially use it in the outside world. Wish more professors did the same.
A very good teacher, wants you to work hard... but get ready tons of homework. Overall very easy class!
Prof. Nauri Ahmed has been the best professor I've had so far. He genuinely cares about the success of his students. He replies to emails instantly. Whenever I called him, he picked up and talked to me in detail. He not only he helps with class but also helps in giving career advice, networking and finding a job/internship. Thank you prof. Ahmed.
Professor Ahmed is flexible and understanding. The exam study guides could be improved. The mid-term study guide was disorganized. Students should focus on the examples in the book, red flags, and controls to prevent the types of schemes. The case studies are critical. Class participation is important to earn points. Extra credit is provided.
Helpful course materials and video, regular email updates for the students.
Prof. Ahmed is great. Participate and do your assignment on time, you will be grateful!
This teacher is very very fair and is willing to go the extra mile to help the students pass this course.
Great teacher who loves the subject. Posts weekly announcements to keep everyone on course. Easy to email and get a response from.
Professor is very helpful. He posts weekly announcements so that students can stay on track. Do all homework and all quizzes to pass class. However, exams do not reflect HW/quizzes he assigns. You must read/study other material for exams.
Prof Ahmed was very helpful, even though it was an online summer class you could tell he wanted you to succeed in his class. The only problem I had was that the online exams were not the same type of format as the homework and quizzes which can trip many students up including myself. Other than that a good professor with announcements weekly!
For Online- must participate (writings) on 3 separate days, quiz each week (8 week course), a mid term exam, a final exam and a project w/ paper. Extra credit was given in form of a survey. If you do the work and study you can get an A. Make sure to read ALL the case studies from the book.
Professor was good at keeping us updated on what was due each week. He gave good feedback to our discussion boards. This was class ACCt 211-10 also since the class was online grades were posted immediately except discussion boards because he graded them. Otherwise it was a good course just my first online so more difficult than I thought.
The quizzes do not reflect the exam questions. For the final exam, I did very well because I read the entire chapter, quizzes, and cases. He also gave an extra credit survey which put me in the A range for the final grade. Read the chapters and cases. Participate in discussions for easy points. There is a paper on fraud risk using ACFE surveys.
The class overall is not an easy class. Taking it online made it that much more difficult. Professor Ahmad is great with posting every week about assignments. As well as be a helpful resource for guidance through out the course. If you keep up to date with the assignments and study 4-8 hours for exams you should finish with a passing grade.
The class and the professor were good. Thank you for the experience
ACC 211-8 week Hybrid (ACC 211-072w) Good to be in class face to face with teacher and other students. If you take your time reviewing what the professor puts out for practice work, you will have no issues on the exams.
great class, wish we could spend more time on the lectures. You more than likely will need tutoring if you don't understand. THIS IS A HYBRID CLASS WHICH HELPS.
It an 8 week course so it was fast paced. I just wish the professor would work with us more when it came to the in class assignments rather than us doing it ourselves.
I took (ACC 211-072w) with Professor Ahmed. he is the best prof. he take cares of his students. he does his best to acknowledge all the students. I learned a lot in 8 weeks. I am already register for his second 8 weeks.
8 week (ACC 211-072w) class. Accounting is HARD, I honestly did not think I could pass this class in the beginning. This course is very heavy on the homework & the lectures are fairly light. I wish he would go into more detail when it comes to the in class assignments. Lots of extra credit! Show up every week, do your HW & you will pass.
Professor is a really good professor. He makes it really easy to pass his class.
Took the first 8 week session this fall and is an amazing prof. He actually teaches and tries to help. If he does not think you a paying attention he will ask you if you need help. Class work is more than reasonable for an 8 week class, but also take into consideration that it is still classwork so you have to work for it. Do not get behind.
Great Professor, he always gives great feedback even when you think you haven't done your best. He encourages his students to do well and wants the best for them. Very simple class, everything is pretty straight forward. Definitely taking him again for ACC 212
Great Professor. I took at online 8 week course. It is very fast paced. 2 assignments per chapter. 2 chapters per week. 3 or 4 quizzes total and 4 exams. 2 online and 2 proctored. Replies fast to emails.
He is a great professor. 3 exams, a lot of extra credit. As long as you go to class and do homework, you will be okay and get an A.
He is a great professor. 3 exams, a lot of extra credit. As long as you go to class and do homework, you will be okay and get an A. MAN VAN
He cares about the students and this was his first time teaching this course. He changes things about half way in but listens to reason. He'll do his best to explain more on a topic if you ask but if you dont ask he wont go over anything extra. He gets sidetracked really easily. If you're not good at taking things in your own hands dont take
Accounting 211 with Professor Ahmed was great. He motivate his students and cares about his students to do better and to have a better future. The class consist of 3 exams, connect homework, and in class activities. If you do your work on time and study for the exams you should be fine.
Professor Ahmed was great he is clear during lectures and he gives you a study guide before the exams so if you review the study guide you should be fine. You have 2 exams, connect homework and quizzes which are online and a group excel project. overall, great class with a great professor.
As long as you put in the effort to learn the material outside of class, it should be an easy class. If you want a professor who gives useful real-world advice, take this class. This was the professor's first time teaching BUS 224. He asked us how he could improve the class, and he promised to make changes for the benefit of future classes.
I took this professor for ACC 211 (11am tue-thurs) and he was one of my favorite professors to date. Lectures every class, and have in class practice which are very helpful on the exam. Provides a study guide for each exam in the beginning of the semester, and is open to any questions and wants his students to succeed.
Some of the coursework is really hard for the class, but he wants you to pass. He will take the time to explain something if needed. A lot of outside studying is needed to get an A for this class.
just enough work for a full time working parent to get college done
Great teacher, motivational, easy to pass, and good with extra credit. Awesome teacher overall.
Excellent professor, you need to read a lot and do your homework in order to pass the class. He is flexible.
great professor. does his best to help you pass his class. i took him for both acc 211 and 212. Got A's in both
Go to class, participate, and complete all in class/homework given. Its a pretty simple class as long as you pay attention and apply yourself.
This was his first time teaching this class and it did show, he was always asking for feedback from us on what we thought was fair. While this was nice, at times he was too lenient. He has tons of resources to offer students for careers, mostly in accounting but also in business fields. Definitely worth listening to as far as future planning.
Great Professor
Honestly was the easiest class of my last semester. If you fail it is your fault.
He is an easy going professor. He should be able to work with you. Also gives you a chance to retake exams.
Prof. Ahmed was a pretty good teacher. He always seem to put us in good position to do well in this class. He would always give us a great amount of things to study for an exam and gave us many chances to bring our grade up with extra credit assignments and homework assignments.
if go to class you will pass, he wants all his students to pass, he's clutch
If you show up to class, you'll pass easily.
he is a good teacher i would take him
Professor Ahmed is very passionate about teaching you can tell he loves his job. I would definitely recommend him as a professor if you're willing to put in some effort. If you don't to the work you mostly likely won't do well in his class . He's very good at reviewing for tests and the way he set up the class he makes it easy to learn.
Do all your work.
Good teacher ask for feedback cares for students you should be fine as long as you do your work.
ACC212-075W I took ACC211 & A212 this fall, both were 8 week sessions. ACC212 was alot easier then ACC211. Professor Ahmed gives lots of extra credit and a bunch of homework. There were 3 exams but they were all pretty straight forward, no surprises.
Simply pay attention and you will be fine. Begin is pretty easy but like most classes the difficulty increases. Ask questions form a study group if needed and do extra credit! Its easy and can drastically boost a letter grade. Do not be lazy
The class material itself is hard but he tries to make it easier for you.
he is super easy
The professor is super easy and flexible with the courses. I had Bus 224, and ACC211 for the fall semester and i am taking with him ACC212 again. just take notes and do your part and you will get easy A.
The professor is super easy and flexible with the due date for homework and quizzes . just try to understand the material and do your work, and you will get easy A. I strongly recommend professor, Nauri Ahmed for all his classes. i will take with him acc212.
He gives many resources to pass the class
I took his 11AM class and it was a great start to the day. Professor is very knowledgeable in the items he teaches. He provides ample amount of notes such as study guides and powerpoints for you to catch up on anything and to also help when exam dates arrive. He does also give a chances for extra credit so it does help to take advantage of that.
The class is fairly easy, but you do have to put in the effort to attend every class and keep up with the notes. He tries to keep the lecture short so that you can practice on your own and then ask questions.
He's a good professor, however he's not that engaging in my opinion.
Great teacher. Gives multiple chances to students. Really cares for you in the aspect of passing. Would take him again. I personally messed up on the semester, but he helped me a lot.
He does everything possible to help you pass the class!
You just need to stay on top of assignments to avoid crunch time stress. He is very understandable and adaptable to anyone situation and is able to work things out with everyone
Prof, Ahmad is a good person but his lecture is not clear. I am not happy with his lecture.
Great Professor!! you wont regret taking his class.
ACC211-72YW (Fort Belvoir) Professor Ahmed took the time to respond patiently to all students' questions during the lectures. His grading criteria was clearly stated, and he went above and beyond to assist students with being able to complete each assignment.
I took the 8 week class with him and i'm glad i did. You shouldn't have a problem acing this class (study guides) there was lots of homework at home cause we only saw him once a week, but that is expected due the time frame of this class. If you're an accounting major, I would recommend taking the 16 week to really learn cause it's a lot of info.
He uses lectures to teach you, but includes examples from personal experience and things easy to understand.
Hybrid 8 week course. Heavy HW, but to be expected due to 8 week pace. Clear guidelines for tests. Videos made by professor VERY HELPFUL and that info wil be on test.
His teaching method is 10/10 I learn a lot during my eight weeks course ���� ����������������
Such a nice guy! This was an 8 week course @ ft belvoir. He would give us extended time on the homework because alot of us work. He is very clear on what he wants and makes sure evryone in the class is on the same page.
I learned a lot in this class. I took the 8 week class which was busy. Weeks 6 and 7 being the busiest. The projects actually helped me learn a lot about the subject matter. Made me use the text outside of the text. Good class. Stressed those two weeks, but overall good class.
ACC 211 72YW 8 Week course was good. Professor knows the subject and works with you to do the best as possible. Great guy. A lot of online homework and assignments, but if you go to class and study hard you should be fine with this class.
ACC 211-8 week Hybrid at Ft. Belvoir- Great Professor. He would give us extended time on the homework . He is very clear and make sure that the students understands all the aspects of his lectures.
ACC 211-8 week Hybrid at Ft. Belvoir- One of the best Professors I have taken at Nova. I was super scared taking ACC 211 but no anymore! The criteria is clear, he is willing to answer any questions and is very patient. I definitely recommend taking him.
I took this course as an 8-week online class to give me the credits required to sit for the exam. Although I already have my BBA in Accounting, I found the course to be relatively easy. That being said, it is structured in a way that will help you retain the material and get a deep understanding. Take this professor.
I would really recommend Professor Ahmed to any of my friends taking business statistics or accounting. In this case, the "lots of homework" tag is an excellent bonus. By assigning this much homework, the professor counterbalances any poor exam grade you may receive. The homework is math oriented, and the test is concept oriented. EXCELLENT class!
Professor Ahmed is probably the best professor you can take for ACC 211. He gives out the most extra credit than any other professor I have ever taken. He listens and helps other students when they are having trouble understanding the material. 10/10 professor!
I absolutely recommend anyone to take Professor Ahmed, regardless what class it's for he is an extremely understanding teacher and genuinely wants to help his students succeed by providing lots of opportunities including extra credit. One of the best professors I've had at NOVA by far.
I definitely recommend professor Ahmed. I failed the first time I took accounting and I hated it but after taking it with him I actually realized accounting is not that bad. I like the fact that he is lenient with deadlines for homework but I don't recommend you take advantage of that because you will most likely fail. Also gives extra credit!
he's the goat
Yo this dude is the easiest professor. I got a B+ in his class and not once did I ever pay attention to anything he said in class.
Professor Ahmed is one of the best professors Ive ever had. He really cares about his students and knows his stuff!
hes nice
Great instructor! He offers anything he can for students to pass his class. His lectures were easy to understand too.
As long as you do the required work and attend class, you should have no problem getting a good grade in the class. The tests are a little difficult, but completely manageable as long as you put in a little bit of extra studying.
Here's gives great extra credit, almost a whole letter grade up for going tutoring. Can not express how important it is to do you learn smarts online and connect homework. They help you learn ALOT, so does tutoring! YOU NEED YOUR BOOK!! AND EVER CLASS BEWARE OF QUIZZES AT THREE BEGINING OF EACH CLASS-FIRST 15 MIN. (He just looks at them really).
BUS 224-001w (16 week class). very very good professor!! tests are really easy and not too much workload throughout the class. highly recommend to take his class.
Professor Ahmed is a caring professor. The grades were easy: you did a in class quiz and excel assignment and you did a quiz, homework, and learnsmart out of class for each chapter, but he would go over the answers to the quizzes in class. He didnt seem to know a lot about statistics though, so you have to teach yourself. He gives test study guides
Always found ways to make the material not as stressful to learn and wanted to help you earn extra points, very lenient on due dates as well.
Very fair, if you fail it's on you
Great Professor who makes a very hard class easier on you. With any other professor, I would not have done as well as I did. Would highly recommend.
A good guy but not the best professor for BUS 224-001W. Allows plenty of time to get work done in class and is willing to discuss problems in class, however it seems that teaching this subject matter is a bit more difficult. Gives easy assignments but it is hard to retain the information learned.
He was a great professor and is knows a lot about business stats. His class was very easy. There was a lot of homework, quizzes, and in-class assignments so you should come to class. Requires you to use connect to do assignments
If you have a C or better you dont have to take the final
Just do all the work he assigns and you should end up with a good grade. Gives a lot of extra credit. Don't expect to learn anything unless you teach yourself.
Great professor. A good amount of work to get done through the semester but its all easy work just a little time consuming. Get the work done in time and you'll pass the class. He also gives a study guid for all exams & extra credit opportunities!
This professor really cares for his students to succeed. He gives out a lot extra credit. All of his lectures are based on the powerpoints. with that being said, make sure you do all the homework and learnsmart in order to understand the material. You will have a quiz for every class (how he takes attendance). Honestly a really hard class to fail.
This class was one of my best classes so far. The professor is on point and we had extra credits. He is a good person and understand with students when you have issues going on. Take him.
He is a great teacher. He gives you time to turn all your work in at the end of the semester which is very helpful when you work or just forget cause things happen. He does test reviews. I defiantly recommend this teacher.
He is a really good teacher, his lectures all make sense and he explains things/demonstrates things well, the homework was just a bit tedious and repetitive and sometimes just unnecessary, but its doable as long as you dont fall behind
Great professor, easy grading, understanding that things happen and not always we can make it to class, overall great experience.
Great Professor, just make sure to do the connect assignments on time unless itll be a lot of work for one day.
If I could take this class again and again, I would! He's extremely helpful, and I really appreciate how he ran the class.
He's a great teacher, very laid back. He lets your turn in any of the homework at any point before the final.
He wants you to pass, so all you have to do is finish all your work. Which he leaves available to turn in the whole semester. Gives a lot of extra credit towards the end of the semester, and even though it's a stats class he tests more on the definitions than on calculations.
Excellent guy. Would take this class again.
Great teacher. Super helpful and does his best to make sure everybody passes. He leaves all the work you do the whole semester open so you can turn it in at any point for full credit. He gives extra credit towards the end of the semester and tells you exactly what to study before the tests.
All of the work is done through connect which makes life kinda easy, but the learnsmarts are a little annoying from how long they take. He leaves everything available until the end of the semester so you can go at your own pace on the homework, but you shouldn't get too far behind. He also gives extra credit at the end of the semester.
Great professor, really hands on and thoroughly explains the curriculum. Would 100% take again
cool, calm, and understanding teacher as helpful as possible
Just like any college class you need to show up and do the work , but he makes class way more fun ! He cares for each and every student ! And he gives extra credit , I had fun in his class & i would definitely be looking forward to having another class with him again in the future (:
as good as a professor you could ask for
He's a really great professor and definitely knows what hes talking about.
Great dude.
Great Professor.
Loves to lecture in class and provide most of the information face-to-face
There is a lot of coursework to keep up with and you have to make sure you study outside of class if you want to know what is going on during class.
Professor Ahmed provides MANY chances to give extra credit to compensate for exams we didn't do well on, or work we're missing. Very accessible outside of the classroom and thoroughly explains the homework/ work expected to be done.
!!FOR BUS224!! Professor Ahmed is experienced and knowledgable in his subject area. I learned a lot of things that I can put to use in the future. The work load in his class is a little heavy, however if you make sure to stay on top of the work you should be fine. And even then he is generous and allows extensions on due dates for assignments.
He is a very understanding teacher. He is also very approachable.
Great choice. Would take him again
Teacher that genuinely cares for his students to learn the course and for them to succeed, sometimes lectures are hard, for me to listen to cause i don't think he explains it that well, but nonetheless still a great teacher, plus you have the online Connect course to help you out anyway.
Great Professor! Looks out for students and has your best interest in mind. Always available and responsive when emailed him. There was a lot of homework but if you put the time you will pass. The hardest part of this class were the 3 proctored the tests and the final project. He was very understanding and helpful throughout the whole course.
Took as Online course- Prof. responds quickly to emails and provides lots of study material to help you pass (Ppts & study guides)! Clear grading criteria, and a good array of assignments to help lift your grade if you don't do so hot on a test. The assignments you do are what's on the test. With 8-week online courses, he's flexible with deadlines!
When entering this class, I was not excited as I hated accounting. Since taking this class, I feel way more confident in accounting and would say its grown on me. This is the teacher you want to take for Accounting. He is awesome and gives great feedback and really helped me.
The professor is great. I would take his class again.
Really amazing professor. I had him for ACC211 as well. He is very understanding and wants his students to understand the material. He helps any way he can.
This is an online class. the basic format is read, practice, homework, BTN, Exam. Overall it's a good class and the instructor does everything he can to ensure your success.
Just started school after a long hiatus. Took 3 classes this summer and can only say Professor Ahmed was the best class I took. I can only hope I have more Professors like him.
Professor Ahmed makes the subject and topics more understandable, highly recommend taking him.
one of the best professor.
An very difficult class
Takes personal interest in career objectives, offers insight & guidance
You do need to show up to pass. His study guides reflect the exact questions on the test, do all the homework and learnsmart ahead of time. If you do, when you show up to class it will make sense when he reviews it and studying will be easier. He gives you plenty of time to complete assignments. He gives extra credit. I took him for 211 as well! A+
Professor Ahmed is ridiculously well understood, knowledgeable, and clear in how he presents himself and his lectures. He gives a detailed explanation in what's happening each week on Canvas/email/in class. He really does care to make sure every student is not overwhelmed and grasps the material given. 100% recommend to take him out of any prof!
A very interesting class
I took his 16 wk class in fall 2019. The material was challenging, but Prof. Ahmed did his best to help us, and there was lots of extra credit too. He's nice, very understanding, and he really helps with any of his students' problems. Although you can miss a few classes if you need to, attendance points are a big help so don't miss too many.
Very easy homeworks and lectures. Very easy to follow the schedule of all the work during the semester
I took it in fall 2019 as a 16 week class. You can really tell that the professor cares for he's students and what will happen after they leave his class. This class he really focused on excels. Some of the videos were outdated and it helped that we had someone who took an advanced IT class. The professor is open to suggestions.
It is a lot of homework but even if you don't do well on the exams he gives you plenty of opportunity to get a better grade.
Great Teacher! Show up do the work and you will pass.
Good professor who cares for his students. Always check the syllabus to make sure of test reviews so you can do well. Will use the text book, learnsmarts, connect, and excel.
Professor Nauri by far has been the best Accounting Professor! He cares about his students making sure there on task and gives plenty of extra opportunity to help them pass the class. Would definitely recommend him for anyone that struggles with accounting!
I've taken ACC 211 and ACC 212 in Professor Ahmed's class and he truly is a great instructor. If you're serious about putting in the work and following along with his lectures and homework, then you have no reason to get anything less than a B. 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Ahmed is a great instructor, Makes the work very simple and gives us sample time for each assignment. Grading system is great and everything is as followed.
One of the best professors I've had at NOVA hands-down. Professor Ahmed knows his material well, and makes it easy for students to understand it. Majority of the grade is from online hws which were a great help in learning and understanding the material. There's plenty of extra credit and he's really understanding and cares for his students.
Before taking this course I thought it would be hard because of the statistical part, but I was wrong. I had a great learning experience and Professor Ahmed made everything easy to understand. He cares for his students and wants everyone to pass. Highly recommend taking this course with him. Great class.
This class requires a lot of time to study for the test because it has a lot of scenarios and symbols to learn and memorize to solve test problems. Read the chapter summary, learn the vocabulary on quizzes, do the homework and learnsmarts and you will pass. Mr. Ahmed cares for his students to pass and continue their education which I appreciate.
Make sure you do your work on time and you will be fine as it is alot of work to do last minute. Lecture is equal to the amount of time he spends engaging us to participate so we can understand better. very generous with extra credit so do it .
Professor Ahmed gives alot of extra work to make up if you dont do well on the exam. I highly recommend him for this course, as long as you show up you wil pass.
Overall great course, purchase the book early on and DO YOUR LEARN SMARTS. Professor Ahmed is very chill and does well at explaining lectures and going over quizzes. If you ever get stuck on any homework or anything throughout the course, just ask him and he will be happy to help.
Professor Ahmed is a good professor, he offers a lot of extra credit at the end of the course. Show up to class and pay attention during lectures and you will pass.
Amazing class, times passes really fast!
He is one of the best professors ever! He really cares about his students
Do the work show up and you will pass. gives extra credit .
Professor Ahmed is a REALLY good choice. Hes not lecture heavy and instead gives a lot of in-class practice, which was very helpful. The homework is reasonable if you follow his schedule. There were few tests and the study guides he gives you are the exact questions. He gave us a lot of extra credit options too. Hes wants you to pass.
Hes a great teacher, he really cares about the students and really wants everyone to pass. The tests arent that hard. If you just do the homework and show up youre probably going to pass. Also if you have an A or B throughout the year you dont have to take the final.
This was a 16 week hybrid course. It was very easy to pass if you do the homework. Lectures were not helpful, but attendance matters.
don't fall behind on homework and you can do well enough to pass. he lets you have cheat sheets for exams. free parking.
Great Professor, very kind and fair. Show up to class and pay attention and you should easily do well.
Professor Ahmed had a pretty easy, straight-forward class. If youre looking for an easy A, I would recommend his intro to business. However, I do feel like he didnt add much to the class. We didnt really learn anything new during the lectures. I only went to class for the participation grade. This really couldve been an online class.
He is a very nice professor who wants his students to do well. He really does care about his students and tries to guide you if you need assistance. The class was very straightforward and was pretty easy, you just had to complete the homework and show up to class which was very easy and you'd receive an easy A. I would definitely recommend him.
Hi guys, I took ACC 211 and 212 with Prof Ahmed and he is the best. Everything is online, you build your grades by submitting your assignments. He responds to emails. He ensure that the students are happy and learning. Also extra credit available. Just take him. He is the best . Also attend class and be ready to pass.
This class is an easy A , if you show up and do the work online . I definitely recommend him !
By no means an easy class. If you are new to accounting, id recommend taking a class in person because this class is an overload of information and it is very easy to get stressed. I definitely had to pull multiple all-nighters for this class. If you are amazing at teaching yourself new concepts, go right ahead.
He was a great hybrid class teacher but you have to make sure you do the work before class. He's very understanding and will help you pass the class.
Professor Ahmed is the best, he looks out for students and do his best to make them successful and also help them at the end of the semester with extra credit assignments. Just do what he asks you to do and you will get an A ! I loved his class I took 211 and 212 this semester, and it was a memorable experience. Thank you for everything professor.
I had prof Ahmed for the standard 8 week course. Not only did he get straight to the point but class assignments were quick and efficient. Everything covered in class was on the final so there were no surprises. For an 8 week course everything went smoothly. However do not procrastinate on the connect homework, those require more time to complete.
This is one of the best professors I ever had! I would love to take another class with him.
Professor Ahmed makes it very clear from the beginning of the semester what you need to do to pass the class. He is always very willing to help. Make sure you take your laptop to class to follow along with the lecture. 10/10 would take again.
Mr. Ahmed is a superb professor , he is very straight forward and grades very fairly. Another thing, he provides additional extra credit and is very understanding!
The professor is very clear and understanding in how he teaches.
honestly, one of the more calm and simpler professors I have had at nova. not too much workload makes examples easier with his workbook
The online activities can be excessive
8 week class to get ready to work n study. But great professor, reachable outside class and willing to work with you. Take the class, study and you will pass easily
Hybrid course - not recommended for working adult taking multiple calsses
Great instructor , very knowledgeable
I took ACC201 Hybrid with Professor Ahmed. He is very knowledgeable and cares about his students. He will go out of his way to make sure you understand. Come prepared to read and to get a lot of homework. Would definitely recommend him.
I took Professor Ahmed 8 week hybrid class at fort Belvoir for northern Virginia community college ( woodbridge). Hes very understanding and have a very clear and detail criteria. Their is a lot of homework, exams and everything is fast paced so make sure to study and get ahead on homework assignments. I would take his class again.
He is alright. He gives a lot of assignments but they are fairly easy just time-consuming. I recommend him to people that want easy A. if you really want to learn then he is definitely, not the one.
Was in his 16 week Tu/Thurs class and it was so much easier than I thought a stats class would be! Not really based on math and equations, more so principles and terms. Lots of extra credit points, and almost every assignment is a guaranteed A. Take him you won't regret his class!!
Took this class in person on Spring 2020, Tuesday & Thursday from 11 to 12:15PM. Great lectures, you get a lot of homework but its good practice! Definitely made accounting easier and more understanding. I will be taking ACC 212 with him. Great professor, tests are easy if you study for them and pay attention in class. Gives A LOT of extra credit.
Took this class in person on Spring 2020, Tuesday & Thursday from 9 to 10:45AM. Great lectures. Definitely made this class easier to understand. Helps you a lot if you don't get it. A lot of group work. Great professor, tests are easy if you study for them and pay attention in class. Gives A LOT of extra credit. I recommend this professor.
Hes the best!!!
Second time I had Nauri Ahmed, fair prof. responds quickly to concerns and questions
I highly recommend Professor Ahmed, he is very caring about his students and is dedicated to their success. Workload is reasonable
Taking Stats is not so hard if you take it with Prof. Ahmed. He makes sure you learn the material by providing a variety of resources. Yes, you get a handful of homework, but they are mostly completion grades. If you attend class and do your work you should pass with no problem. He is very considerate, caring, and also gives extra credit.
BUS 224 Spring 2020. Professor Ahmed has the course works laid out from the beginning of the semester so you can work at your pace. Hard work counts more than exam which is excellent. He answers email quick and also explains in details. He is understanding and give extra credits too. I enjoy his class since I learned so much.
Professor Nauri is a very dedicated professor who wants his student to achieve the best. I have been in NOVA for the past 2 years been thought with many professor but Professor Nauri is unique in his way, he is very inspirational when it comes to learning. Accounts is not an easy course but he makes it very enjoyable for everyone.
Professor Ahmed is truly the best professor for Accounting and any other courses he teaches. He understands most student's situation. I will be taking his 212 course coming next Fall semester. If you ask for help, he will go out of his way to help you. 10/10
I took his ACC 212 8 week class hybird/online course. The class was hard and there was a lot of assignment to do in such a small period of time, but the professor was very nice and helpful. He explained everything in his lectures and made sure to go over everything. He is a great teacher and definitely recommend taking his class. Easy A.
He's a really down to earth professor and wants you to pass, the only thing that I didn't like was the learnsmarts, (still doing them) but just be on top of your connect homework and you'll pass the class. (ACC 211)
He's a really down to earth professor and wants you to pass, the only thing that I didn't like was the learn smart, (still doing them) but just be on top of your connect homework and you'll pass the class. (ACC 211 16 WEEK)
THIS IS FOR BUS 224: Took bus224 with a different professor and didn't do good cause she wasn't as clear with her lectures. Professor Nauri was clear and concise, got to the point and had a really clear grading scale with his assignments. Make sure to be on top of your learnsmarts and connect homework. (BUS 224 16 Week)
This Professor was absolutely amazing. He is a very easy grader and cares about his students. All you have to do is show up to his class and pay attention and take notes on what will be on the test (which he provides). I wish I took him for my accounting classes as well.
I say that he is very organized
He is a really good teacher. He gives extra credit and gives out study guides for tests and goes over it so we know what would be on the test. I recommended him, he really wants his students to be successful.
I took Professor Ahmed for Business Statistics (BUS 224) and I'm thankful I chose his class. This subject was challenging and I was dreading it from the day I started my degree, but he made it less daunting and was very helpful. If you need to take this course I fully suggest choosing Professor Ahmed.
He is a really good teacher. He gives extra credit and gives out study guides for tests and goes over it so we know what would be on the test. I recommended him, he really wants his students to be successful. The class I took is BUS 224 (16week).
Professor Ahmed was a great instructor. He really knows his stuff about accounting and offers a lot of knowledge on the subject. You do have to purchase Connect for this course as it is where you will be doing your homework. As long as you stay up to date on the homework and don't let it pile up, you will be fine.
This class is easy if you show up to class and participate and ask questions. He is very kind and cares about the students at NOVA. He gardes assignments in a timley manner, and is very understanding. This was the best professor i had at nova take him you will not regret it!!
Greatest professor ever. Just do the work.
He works with you. He gives you a lot of ways to practice the material. He had a smooth transition onto online learning when the school closed down. Gives great examples to allow you to understand better. I am planning on taking him for accounting 212.
Cool teacher, encourages students to participate and has short but concise lectures
Professor Ahmed is nice and allows extra credit! Definitely recommend taking him for any course if he's available.
Hes a good professor very nice and respectful. The assignments are fairly easy and you shouldnt have any difficulty with any of them.
I didnt like account until I took his class. Great professor, he cares and you want you to succeed.. Im taking him again for the summer
Helps you out by given out weekly reminders on what is due this week and what will be taught in lecture
great professor defenitly recommend!!
Professor Ahmed was one of my favorite accounting professors at NOVA. There is a lot of homework and studying. Take his class. Attend the lectures they really help and study a loooot!!
I took the ACC211 and 212 8 week class, both in one semester. Great professor, actually cares. HW is due at the end of the semester but DO NOT WAIT LAST MINUTE. Teaches very smoothly. Answers any and all questions. If you're taking accounting, Professor Ahmed is your guy!
Professor Ahmed was easy to work with and I highly recommend. He doesn't have specific due dates for HW and quizzes so it is at your own pace which I found very helpful. When you do need help , he is easily accessible and responds very quickly. 5 out of 5 stars.
Nauri Ahmed - He is dedicated to being the best teacher that he. He will try to motivate you so that you will finish the course and not drop it/withdrawal from it. If you have questions/problems with the course, he will do his best to assist you and make you understand the question/problem. I would willingly take another of his courses.
Professor Nauri is an outstanding professor. He is truly a gem for the NOVA community. Accounting has always been a struggle but due to Professor Nauri teachings i was able to ace the class. He is the best do take him!!!
Professor Ahmed is a great professor. The class is fairly easy and all assignments are super clear. He also reaches out if he notices you're falling behind and lets you know to reach out if you're struggling. There's also opportunity for extra credit (wish I would've taken advantage of these!)
He wants you to pass and understand the material. He is very helpful if you have questions.
Great Professor. I've had him twice and he's honestly the best. Passed his classes with As.
He is good for people who don't want to learn anything and get easy A. if you really want to learn don't take him.
Professor Ahmed is extremely chill. as long as you do your work and turn it in you will pass. he does not care about attendance or participation. tests refer back to the homework and classwork so if you do your work, the test will be a easy run
By far the best professor I have had at NOVA. Took him for accounting 211, 212, and business 224. He is so flexible and willing to work with you, the exams and homework are correlated and easy. There is no reason for you not to take this professor you will not regret it!
Professor Ahmed is an absolute gem to the NOVA community. He is one of the most caring, thorough and understanding teachers of higher education that I have come across. Easy A, literally just show up!
hey does he use a different software like Cengage,WileyPlus,MasteringBio or something like that? thank you i didn't take his class yet
I took bus 224 online for 15 weeks. He was not strict with deadlines. Mindtap purchase is required. group project ( 2-3 questions per member), 4 case studies ( with similar videos providing answers, will give u time to catch up, 8 chapters ( quizzes and assignments for each, answers can be found online if you get stuck. He is great teacher. Try it.
A lot of homework which is easy and helps you get solid a in the class. Gives you the entire semester to do you hw. Very good professor and caring
Took this professor for BUS 100, ACC 211, and ACC 212. Such an inspirational professor. Do the work and you'll pass.
He is a calm professor, but be aware that the HW consists of 80 plus questions (which are not easy) plus an activity which can take a few hours. This is one of those classes that you have to trade off between doing the stuff he teaches in class and the activities you learn and do in the computer. Overall an average teacher and a very hard class.
Took him for hybrid. Worst choice ever. Class lectures was a mess for the first 15 min and there is so much homework... If you like learning on your own time that's pretty much it.
Hated this class. Be prepared to teach yourself because I'm pretty sure he just likes to hear himself. He talks way too fast, never checks the chat for questions, every single day there's tech issues, and there's no structure whatsoever for the class leading no one to complete assignments at the same time. I never even know what chapter we are on.
I only bought the textbook to get the McGraw hill access. It's an easy A, if you don't want to learn anything then it's good. Tests were a little hard because I didn't learn anything. The learnsmart Homeworks actually take forever to complete it's so annoying. I feel like he's knowledgeable but he doesn't know how to relay the information well.
I took accounting 212 with Dr. Nauri online. He always engages with the students and offers so many ways to help inside and outside of class. Very caring and my favorite professor this semester. very clear grading criteria and enough time to submit homework.
He is a very knowledgeable professor. His way of teaching might not be for everyone. Overall cares about students and very comprehensive. I would take him again
He will work with you. The work is an overload and you can become overwhelmed, but Professor Nauri will help you and work with you to get you there. He is inspirational and very caring. I would love to have him as an advisor and or Professor any day.
Very helpful teacher, willing to go above the requirements of the class.
Took him in Summer 2022. Exceptional teacher that genuinely cares about his students. Assignments were long and sometimes frustrating, but if you had questions, you can always ask him for help. Tests were Lockdown Browser with webcams on and do your best to be well-prepared for them!
Prof. Ahmed was very helpful and made sure we were provided with all the material for the best way to learn. Majority of the work is online and his study-guides tells you what you need to study on the exams and not just a bunch of terms. Do not hesitate to take this professor!
Professor Nauri is one of the best professors I have every had. He is so caring and teaches so well.
Professor Ahmed is such an amazing and caring professor! There is no way you can fail his class as he provides study guides for every exam and extra credit is available. Take his class you will not regret it!! Did I mention how amazing he is?
He is great
Great professor as usual, took his ACC 211 class last summer. Homework not too bad because of the system used being built with hints and videos to guide you through the process, but do prepare yourself well for exams, especially the written portion!
Workbook is required for this class which is helpful to practice. You also need to buy access to do all your work. Overall, lots of extra credit. Thank you.
Excellent professor. Very easy to understand.
Honestly, accounting can be quite challenging, especially when juggling multiple classes. However, I have immense admiration for my accounting professor; he's truly an exceptional educator. His dedication to guiding us through the subject step by step is truly commendable. I've decided to take my next accounting course with him as well.
Professor Nauri Ahmed is an awesome instructor and facilitator for the ACC261 class. There were issues with the online material and Professor Ahmed was able to provide reasonable extensions for all materials and was very flexible with students personal needs and schedules. This class is also a great candidate to use for CPA license compliance.
Great professor. If you fail this class, it means you really really did not try.. He offers SO much extra credit and genuinely wants people to pass. No lockdown browser, plus he offers extensions on home works and test. I was scared to take accounting, but he made it very easy.
This was the best professor ever, he made accounting very easy for me you won't regret taking him. Now I'm taking him for ACC 212.
Sweetest professor! There's definitely a lot of smartbook assignments which can be time consuming, but prof Ahmed's lectures are very easy to understand.
Great professor. Knowledgable in the subject matter and will challenge you to learn more!
I took Tax 1 ACC261 class with Professor Ahmed. Online class? No contact? Proctor exam- tough! But He provided Accumulated Points Guideline as an action for you to easy follow your grade. He also check up with students twice a week and encourage everyone to complete all tasks to get high score. He is one of the most caring teacher i have ever met.
I took ACC219-Acct for Governmental & Non-Profit Entities. This is class is heavy but not too difficult compare to Tax class. Professor Ahmed is a wonderful teacher who inspired and motivated students with specific instruction. He is flexible with deadlines and very understandable for students. Recommend him for Tax-Audit-Acct classes!
Was super nice and gave many opportunities to earn credit. The final exam was optional if you had a high enough grade which was super nice.
Took 212 this summer, and it was fantastic. He sends weekly emails to keep students on track and holds Sunday office hours. If you did well in Accounting 1, you'll do fine here. The tests are challenging, but his recorded lectures are helpful. I'm grateful to Professor Ahmed for making the semester less stressful with his supportive policies.
Accounting can be tricky, but this professor makes it manageable. Leveraging unstuckstudy ai alongside the provided materials helped me stay on top of the workload. Though the exams require diligent preparation, the professor is genuinely committed to guiding students.
the tough thing is accounting,not the prof.Hard subject but he makes it managable.Have to put in extra effort to teach yourself.Curves tests if more then half class got it wrong(like 10 points).Hes the best you could have for such a hard subject.Grade wise youll be fine just put in a extra few hours a week. He makes study guide for tests with ans
Awesome professor who genuinely cares about his students. A lot of extra credit, would recommend to take again.
Professor Ahmed is amazing. The only thing is you have homework for each chapter but if you designate time every week for it then you will be fine and won't fall behind. He gives study guides for all the exams which is really helpful. If you are willing to put in the work then I promise you will do just fine and be exempt from the final.
An extremely caring instructor who goes above and beyond for his students. He provides amazing study guides and plenty of extra credit opportunities. The homework assignments are long but if you stay on top of the reading, you'll do well. He also shares valuable outside opportunities to support your academic and professional growth.
He's a good professor and he gives extra credit. But there is a lot of hw and sometimes the hw can seem more difficult than the exams.
Amazing accounting profesor, wants u to pass the class, exams are just like the study guide, has pre recorded lectures to help more, very flexible, due dates are until last day of the semester, wants all his students to pass.
He seemed like a nice guy, but he rarely responds to emails! This class is homework heavy, and I thought I would have support, but he did not give much. It's very easy to fall behind and he will not help you. I emailed him many times and he never responded! Accounting is hard in general, but I got no support from him.
one of the best professor, also took him for accounting 212
Very good professor; there's a lot of McGraw Hill you would do every week.
I have taken Professor Ahmed for Acc 211 and 212 and truly love learning from him. You can tell he is passionate about his craft which is even better it makes you want to learn. We utilized McGraw Hill Connect in 211 and although it was a lot of work I enjoyed every bit of it just try to keep up with the weekly assignments. HE IS THE BEST!
It's not as much work as Acc211 probably because 211 set the ground work. I truly enjoyed Managerial Accounting with Professor Ahmed he is an excellent professor. He made a subject I assumed was dry and mundane very interesting and he also has enough self awareness to realize we have other classes to study for. I can't recommend him enough!
I really enjoyed taking Prof. Ahmed's ACC 211 class. He cares about his students, providing guidelines and reminders to keep everyone on track while also remaining as flexible as possible. I will definitely sign up for more of his classes!
Easy going teacher, I took him for both ACC 211 and 212. There's sorta of a lot of homework to do but it's easy and he gives extra credit assignments. Tests are a bit hard but it mostly goes off the PowerPoints so study those and you'd be fine. Overall a good teacher, would definitely recommend him for both classes.
Another A+ for Prof. Ahmed. ACC 219 was a lot of work, but there was a lot of material to cover. This class had more discussion components that gave us an opportunity to dig deep into real government and non-profit financial reports. As always, Prof. Ahmed cares about his students, bending over backwards to give career advice.
