Wouldn't take again

I encourage you all not to get into accounting with him . Hard to understand his English, class is so boring, the test is hard . Not understanding students at all and you will be more confused with his lecture . Choose someone else because the course is not a very easy one . You need to learn. Worse experience.

I loved Sameer, great professor. His accent can be a little difficult to get over but since I come from the same background as him I didn't mind his accent. He is very thorough with his lectures and gives complete examples to help students understand the topics One complaint would be he should talk a little slower, but to me he was great.

Stop debating. Choose him before before the class is full! He is a really great teacher.Fair to students and respects them all. Gives homework with three attempts per question. Trust me, all the work you do preps you for the tests and exams. Thick accent but you wont regret choosing him . One of my best profs to be honest

Great professor. The lectures are well-presented and cover all topics on the tests. There are weekly practice "quizzes" that help you prepare. Has videos that can help you summarize a lecture. If you do the weekly "quizzes" and clarify anything you don't understand in lectures, you will do great.

I would take a class with this professor again, this course BMT644 is a hard course but if you show up to class and listen and ask questions you will do fine. I missed the first 3 weeks of class and was stressed. Once I showed up I was able to understand what I was doing in this class. If you take this class choose the in person class, its better.

I took his class for both BAB140 and BAB240 and both classes were very good. His lectures are clear and informative, and he has no problem answering any questions. As long as you pay attention in class and do the readings you will have no troubles understanding the material.

I asked Samir Alrishani the professor for help on a certain topic 1 year ago, he told me "too look in the textbook". It was a very lazy and unprofessional response. The solution was not even in the textbook. Extremely lazy and unprofessional, only cares about a paycheck and treats students like numbers

Was kind of rude when you asked for help (if its a question he did not assign from the homework). Okay lectures, they can be a bit dull with not being interactive. Refer to his provided YouTube videos and use Wiley textbook video examples from labs to do well. He will respond to emails to reset practice work. Work load is moderate, just practice.

You need to spend more on your Willyplus, one hundred, and do all quizzes and tests on it, he also teaches many useful, and does exercises in class.
