Dr. Islam is solid. The class is pretty easy so long as you read the textbook and do the homework, both of which aren't challenging. Tests are simple and exactly like the homework. Can be a bit hard to understand and does have very long powerpoints with a lot of unnecessary information, but you can manage. TONS of extra credit opportunities.

Tests are on the harder side, split into two parts multiple choice online at home and then short answer in person. Labs are extremely hard, takes forever to grade the labs so beware of not knowing your actual grade in the class. But a very funny teacher and very relaxed

He is extremely easy to work with. He assigned easy homework's due once a month and a lot of extra credit. Although he is sometimes hard to understand, he makes up for it with opportunities for easy points. If you do all your work (which isn't a lot) but get low grades on all four of your tests you can get an A.

Md Islam's lectures are slightly fast paced, but he covers all of the material and offers very helpful reviews before test day. This class does take a little bit of effort, but that doesn't make this class hard. Test questions almost always come straight from the PowerPoints, which are always available to you. He is also VERY lenient with grading!

Islam has been one of the better professors I've had. He is hard to understand but not so hard you don't know what he is saying. He is passionate about geography and it reflects in his lectures. It is not at all a hard class, you just have to study and do all your work and labs. Easy as that. I 100% recommend him to anyone wanting to take GY101!

He's a great professor. Go to class because attendance counts! Tests are hard, but he curves them insanely in our favor! There's an online assignment due before every test, it takes a while but you always get 100. Labs are all online with 2 attempts and only took me 30 mins max. Much easier than GEO 101. Would recommend if you need a science class!

this class was very easy. he always gave us questions that would be on the test and bonus points of the football team won a game. He's pretty funny and chill. If you review the review powerpoint and study that before the test, you will make an A very easily. Attendance is required. for me, minimal effort allowed me to get an A+

Very nice guy, always makes jokes. Take him if possible, I would 100% take his class again.

Fun and easy-going. Easy class. Lots of free extra credit.

He is a great professor, knows his content.

He is professional and knows what he teach. Easy going professor.

I appreciate Prof. Islam, as his intentions are genuinely good. However, I would recommend taking his class only if you truly plan to attend regularly. The classes can be a bit challenging for me. Although he has a thick accent, I still understand him perfectly. I find the lecture presentations quite interesting

I like him

I recommend taking his class. He's a great professor and very nice. Dr. Islam

Dr. Islam, is a great person and professor. Attendance matters, I recommend you to attend class. Homework is long but it is very easy. Test are very difficult. I passed 2 test and failed one however I passed the course. His test reviews do not really help at all. in order for you do well you MUST STUDY THE IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS, my biggest advice!

Attend every class, take notes, you will pass.

Class based learning. Professor Islam is professional. Replies email

Md Islam was an excellent professor. He used humor to engage us, taught the material effectively, and ensured that everyone understood the concepts. He also offers great opportunities for extra credit and truly wants all of his students to succeed. Although I'm not particularly fond of science courses, I found this one to be very worthwhile.

Md Islam was so kind and thoughtful and did a great job. This was not an easy course, but he was always ready and willing to help, which I really appreciate.

………………………….

Go to class to get attendance points. He gives notes and tells you exactly what things to write down/know for the tests. There's a drop test and the final was online. As long as you're in class you'll be fine.

Dr. Islam is the best. Clearly passionate about the material, and very fair with how he creates and grades assessments.

Good teacher

Confused how he has low ratings. Really kind guy and has a passion for what he teaches. Funny stories as well. Put in the time to take notes, understand the homework, and you will be just fine. Makes class interesting and you will learn important material.

Prof. Islam is a very engaging lecturer and makes a somewhat boring topic for me to learn about a little more interesting. I would say that I do wish the PowersPoints that he taught had words and not just pictures. Just because sometimes he can be a little hard to understand and I would have liked going back through them and study before the test

This professor may be the best professor I have ever had. Super nice, tried to have fun and crack jokes. Very fair grader and was lenient on many occasions even though his students weren't high performers. Md Islam deserves a raise honestly.

Good professor - I have over a 100 in the class. I believe he did not do very well teaching the third exam material. He started going over it before we even to the first exam. Other than that, he was a good professor and very knowledgeable about the class.

Super happy and respectful instructor. His great personality made me want to go to class.

very nice guy and gives you key information if you show up.

Good Teacher. Extra Credit given if you attend most classes. Tests are challenging but If you follow the review slides you will be successful.

His exams are hard, but I always get above 90; I guess it's because he curved it. The labs were easy; the homework is so long because it's based on McGraw-Hill material, which many courses use. Attend the class and complete other assignments. The day before the exam, he will post the slides and learn from it.

CONCEPTS CONCEPTS CONCEPTS!!! This class is consisted for pretty much 4 tests and then the lab. The quizlets for the tests can only help you so much. Learn the concepts, write them out and that will help you so much more for the tests. Memorizing terms won't do anything for you honestly you have to be able to apply it all. You get one drop test.

He was I great professor, with that being said it was a very difficult class to be a natural science credit. I had to start studying nearly 2 week prior to every exam. You definitely have to put in the effort to earn a good grade. This is not an easy A class if that's what you are looking for. He also has a very heavy accent so be prepared.

He is so funny and sweet, just pay attention and take notes in lecture. Before exams, read the chapters- most of the questions are based on the textbook.

A very nice and understanding professor that wanted to see you succeed in his course. He is very generous and helpful.

Md Islam was a fantastic professor, he was very interactive with the class and always found ways to make jokes. All around probably one of my favorite professors.

Md Islam was a great professor but the only drawback is that he has a thick accent. He was sometimes hard to understand but he tried his hardest to keep students engaged in a very boring long lecture. Great guy and I would recommend him.

MD was a great teacher. he taught the class well and was able to have fun while doing it. which led to more kids answering questions and a more enjoyable class to attend. you can tell he enjoys what he does.

Very bubbly personality and always knew just how and when to crack a joke, he was also very helpful when i needed to make up a test or had questions.

Great professor! Attendance is mandatory but fairly lax. His grade scale makes it very easy to get an A. He has an accent, but it isn't hard to understand. Homework is only due before the tests, and you get a drop test. The exams are easy if you pay attention during lectures, and always have extra credit questions. Labs are a pain, but aren't hard.

Professor Islam is a great professor.

He was my favorite professor this year and I really enjoyed his class and lectures.

teacher really cares about his student. He has a great heart for his students The teacher has an immense passion for his students

Md Islam is the most entertaining and engaging lecturer I have ever had. He was very funny—both intentionally and unintentionally—and shared amusing stories and examples that helped the material stick with me. He made the content personal by discussing how various weather phenomena have affected him and his homeland.

Md is very engaging lecturer, offering a balanced view on controversial topics and encouraging us to form our own opinions. His emphasis on key concepts gave me a solid understanding of weather, climate, and global wind circulation.

Thanks to prof Islam, I not only performed well on the test with minimal memorization but also deepened my understanding of local weather. The instructor genuinely cared about the material and even shared videos and pictures of the effects of natural disasters to demonstrate why this knowledge is important.

Professor Islam was an excellent teacher. He was bright, funny, and knowledgeable. He made taking the course fun and taught me a great deal. He was always accessible and made sure to help if we needed any. I am so glad I took this course.

Dr. Islam was overall a really great professor! You can tell he really cares about his students and wants to them succeed. His accent does make it difficult to follow along sometimes, but the powerpoint usually got the main point across. He does a review day for test and if you understand everything from that powerpoint you'll do fine on the test.

I don't understand Islam hate. Lectures are pretty boring but you can miss up to 7 classes and if you miss less than that it's extra credit. Exams are much easier than most classes it's just comprehension and the homeworks are completion grades. He also adds extra points on exams after every time the football team wins. Highly recommend

Great guy, pretty easy class, you can get by with a A even if you do bad on the exams. DO THE CHAPTER HW. So easy but it just takes like a hour per, very easy way to get points. He gives a ton of extra credit. Labs are so easy. A little hard to understand, but not as bad as people make him out to be.

I would 1000% take him if you need a easy science class credit. He curves all the exams and he gives extra credit for the most simplest things like Alabama winning a game. He also has McGraw hill concepts that you'll have to do which take some time to do. He does have a strong accent too so beware of that.

Dr. Islam is an exceptional professor and person all around. It is clear that he respects his students and genuinely cares. He always makes class interesting, often trying to throw in some jokes or stories for us to understand the material. It is easy to see his passion for the subject and for teaching, and I will miss learning from him.

Dr. Islam was overall a really great professor! You can tell he really cares about his students and wants to them succeed. His accent does make it difficult to follow along sometimes, but the powerpoint usually got the main point across. He was always reminding us of deadlines and important dates by email, which was very helpful.

I think that Dr. Islam is a great professor for his intro geography course. He has an accent, but it is not hard by any means to understand what he is saying in lecture. I would totally recommend any body needing a required natural science course to take this one based on my prior experience with this course.

The overall course was not hard to thrive in if the student puts effort in their studies. The tests are straight forward, and he is lenient when it comes to scaling the scores

Great professor and a very funny guy. Would take one of his classes again.

He is one of the sweetest professors and genuinely tries to make lectures fun. He gives a lot of bonus points for random things (like Bama winning), but he can be hard to understand, and I struggled to stay engaged. Still, I did the work, earned extra credit with attendance, and finished with an A+. Best option for GY 101!
