Amazing!
great
Fall semester 2014 was wonderful!
Sam is a very good teacher! He is the best accounting professor I have ever seen, conscientious and organized.
He is Very helpful and gives every student a chance to get a good grade. Would absolutely take his classes again.
Excellent!
Sam is a great professor who has the ability to teach those students either with or without industry experience in the field of accounting.
He is a kind of great teacher!
Sam is a great professor! He is enthusiastic about his subjects and teaching methods. I like to have more courses with him ...
Amazing Professor!
Amazing! As a student, you actually learn in his class. He makes everything easy and interesting. Best professor ever
Super lenient, if you just talk to him, he'll let you do anything. tries rrrrreally hard to make students laugh by making corny jokes. He loves taking student surveys. He asks about everything before he does ANYTHING: When do you want your midterm? do you want another quiz or assignment? But MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE TEXTBOOK!!!
Great accounting professor! managerial accounting class includes so much useful information. Dr. Sameer was well organized and presented ideas very clearly.
Quizzes every week however they are very simple and reflect his lectures. There are no surprises in the course at all. Amazing prof and I look forward to taking more courses with him if possible.
He is the best accounting professor i have ever attended! He is conscientious, organized and helpful . He is very knowledgeable with the accounting and has a strong experience.
Sam is a very good business finance professor! very helpful and gives every student a chance to get a good grade. Would absolutely take his classes again.
Great teacher. Easy to communicate problems with. Participation really helps and expect weekly quizzes. Homework assignments and quizzes will boost your mark if taken seriously.
the class was great!
Sameer good finance teacher! Love him for best explanations, fair marking, sense of humor.
Great teacher! Sam clearly explains anything you don't understand, gives homework every class but it's not unnecessary, do it all and you'll be fine. Overall, you will understand accounting if you take his classes.
He is the best accounting and finance professor!
Great prof, had him twice. Teaches clearly, if you do not understand he will explain it over and over until you do. Has a sense of humor and is very kind. Classes are content heavy, be prepared to pay attention the whole class. His small quizzes (a week after you've covered that specific topic) are a great way to learn and practice.
Dr. Sameer is a great professor and is there to help. If you have an issue, problem or concern about the class, just send him an email and he will respond fairly quickly with a solution or alternative to help.
Very friendly environment in the class.
Sameer is one of the most understanding professors. Although he may not be as clear sometimes, but he helps his students to the best of his ability when in need. In addition, his handouts are spectacular which help a lot when preparing for quizzes or completing assigned homework. The homework he gives is fairly easy and is manageable.
He makes the materials understandable as much as possible. Great prof ever met!
He's a great professor who cares alot about his students. He's always willing to extend an extra hand when needed and anytime I had any questions on anything assigned - he would respond in a timely manner. Would take classes with him teaching it!
I HATE ACCOUNTING. no1 can do anything 2 make me like it. but Professor Alrishani pulled me through it. u know when u approach final exams, and that feeling u get if ur gonna pass or fail the class. the material he gives r the best, makes it so easy 2 understand if any1 has 2 take accounting i recommend taking his class. THANK YOU SIR!
Teaching is his second nature. He is great professor!
Easy professor. If you follow his lectures, you will ace this class with ease.
Dr Alrishani has professional, academic and human sense at the same time. I like his way when he is trying to engage all of us into his lecture, he is great professor I had ever met!
He is a great professor
Good teacher, who will explain things if they are not clear the first time. Tries to get everyone involved. Classes prepare you for tests and tests prepare you for the exam.
Overall, very great Professor. Lectures and material are very clear and thoroughly explained. Small tests helped a lot through out the course,especially for the final exam. Worksheets that were handed out by Professor were also very helpful, especially when there was an upcoming test. Professor of choice for Accounting.
I would take this professor again. He is the best when it comes to explaining the topic. He does questions from the book in class and gets everyone to participate. His chapter summaries are super helpful when you are studying for test, quiz, or exam.
This is a good teacher I like him
Sameer presents information on topics very well. He is very knowledgeable, approachable, helpful and thorough in teaching us finance.
More time each session for questions and discussion. Sam is helpful with reviewing lectures especially during office hours, as well, there is enough time to discuss how to link theoretical accounting topics with real life.
one of the best teachers I had last semester. My reason for that being said is that he really wanted us to succeed. He had assignments and quizzes every week which kept us on track with our work. We knew if we missed a class we would be behind. Accounting is a very hard class, for me at least, and without his support i would fail
Sameer works hard to make us understand everything in the classroom. He is knowledgeable about accounting either theoretical or practical topics. BlackBoard materials and activities make the course more attractive and useful. He replies almost immediately to emails and provides recommendations and helpful comments. I would take his courses again ..
I would highly recommend to anyone to take accounting courses with him. He is one of the best professors in Seneca college. He is well organized, and available to help.
ONE OF MY BEST BEST PROF THROUGH COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. HE MAKES THE MATERIALS CLEAR AND EASY. ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO HELP.
This professor is very helpful and understanding one. He is the professor that students want to take most of their course with.
Friendly and helpful. Knows the subject and teaches it well. Makes great use of class time with a mix of lecture and exercises. Tests and quizzes are easy.
One of the best proffessors. I would deffenitely take him again. There is quizes after each lesson wich prepares you for the tests and exam. He is very determined and very nice. Do you work, participate in class and you will do fine.
My favorite course and teacher.1
He is a great professor.
The content is easy if you have taken accounting in the past. He has good intentions but a lot of the class felt lost and confused with the concepts being taught. When students asked for help he claimed the concept was "so easy" and that is not the way to address a students question
To be honest and short, this Prof. is Amazing! If you have a chance to get his class, take it without hesitation.
He is a good instructor, he tries to get the class interested in the topic. He breaks down the concepts so that beginners can understand accounting.
I really respect you as professor. Your method of accunts quizes are lengthy but the urge for getting more marks get us doing same thing 2 times more which makes us remember things that is the best part. Thank you.
Right professor in the right college! I would take it again
He is a very good prof and he explains each chapter very clear.
Amazing! :)
Loved the class!
He assigns assignments every week for each chapter which really helps. he uses PowerPoint and examples and gets the entire class to interact. Very nice professor, his quizzes are a little bit difficult to understand, but he's a fair marker ! Good professor over all.
Very funny and smart
Flexible and helpul
1. love the fact that Sir gives students many opportunities to get great grades on the quizzes and homework which adds up at the end of the semester. 2. He is always there to help students (use his office hours) 3. He encourages students to use the workshops which reinforce the material taught 4. He is funny and makes accounting enjoyable!
Great professor and cares about his students.
He is alway there to help students!
He's the best accounting teacher ever! explains the topics very well and goes into little details. Choose an accounting class with him, highly recommended, thumbs up!
GREAT PROF! He helps make difficult concepts and exercises more understandable
I LIKE HIS WAY GOING THROUGH THE STEPS SLOWLY, SO EVERYBODY WILL UNDERSTAND, GREAT PRFOESSOR!
This is my first accounting course, I'v never known I would like accounting until I got BAB140 with him. His teaching style would direct you to get the right way just to pass!
Great teacher who truly wants his students to succeed in his class. If you don't understand something he happily tries to explain it in a way that you will understand.
He is willing to help students to understand the lessons better
Course i enjoyed
I do recommend everybody to get BAB140 accounting course with him. His lectures are AMAZING!
Great guy!
Best professor for Accounting. He is passionate about the subject and teaches really well and encourages student asking any questions. Very caring,respectful and awesome overall.
Good preparation for tests through practical cases
He is good professor
Good preparation for tests through practical cases.
A very good and funny teacher, teaches well and is always there to clarify any doubts. I found this subject very difficult as it was my first time doing accounting as a subject. However, thanks to the professor, I was able to pass with flying colours!
He is a really nice teacher and gives you many chances and is there for you
Good person, but he has a few teaching flaws. When you ask for help he seems to repeat what he just said. Like he means well but he is also a little hard to understand. When it comes to grading, he doesn't give partial marks, which is essential to this class.
Awesome, educated and very practical professor!
nice guy, not a great prof. Explanations weren't great because it took him a while to come to the point of the given topic for the lecutre. Annoying sense of humor. Based on his explanation I didn't understand the course material but did well due to prior knowledge.
He likes to teach by PowerPoint and his chapter summaries are very helpful when you are studying for exam or quiz
Professor Alrishani was very nice. He helped his students succeed as long as you show up for class, and show that you are trying.
He is a good teacher
He doesn't know how to deliver the information
Amazing professor! Just to let you know that you need to attend most of his classes to get high marks . I would take his classes again!
I have been at seneca 4 years and he is by far the best teacher I have had. He is interative and is there to help you. Great guy
Sameer was an excellent Prof in my opinion. Accounting is not the most interesting course and I had never taken any accounting courses prior to this one. He was helpful in explaining and answering questions if you had them. He also structured the evaluation methods to give students the best opportunity to do well.
Great teacher funny, easy going, and a good marker.
Best professor for accounting. There is none like him. He is fair with grading and always there for you when you need help. Excellent summary sheets. Sometimes makes cute jokes too. Everyone enjoyed his class. He is inspiring and you may even wish to be a professor like him.
Great prof
Sameer is an amazing teacher, one of the best ones at Seneca he knows a lot about of accounting and he explained so good.
Easiest accounting teacher. You're still gonna have to look over the textbook a bit tho, but that's a given for accounting.
This is my second time with Sameer and he's honestly the best. He is straight forward and all the class examples are extremely useful when prepping for tests and exams.
The class was useful and nice
Great professor
Prof Alrishani made accounting enjoyable to learn. 'Nuff said.
slides are very detailed and handouts are very helpful! he is very caring and tries is very best that all his students participate and understand the lectures provided. come to class and participate in the learning process will walk out with a guaranteed A.
Very knowledgeable and organized. Provides precise and useful chapter summaries.
the best professor Seneca college ever have. seriously he the mountain of accounting knowledge. Easy A+
10/10 Best professor at Seneca, gives a lot of opportunities to boost your grade short online assignments and quizzes always takes best 2/3 or best 5/8 marks. Teaches very straighforward makes accounting easy to understand, all you have to do is the practice exercises and its a guaranteed A
Rude, does not explain concepts at all, will not help students in need and makes you feel stupid when asking a question and talks over you when you are trying to ask something. Acts like he has no time or respect for you and that you should be able to figure everything out on your own. Worst professor and most frustrating class I have ever been in.
Hes very friendly and approachable until you ask him a question about the work. He talks over you, interrupts you, and brushes you off if you dont understand his explanation. His priority is working through as many problems as possible and as quickly as possible without any student input or participation. Would not take one of his classes again.
He's knowledgeable and professional on taxation, even BMT644 is a tough and hard course, but if you attend his lectures and pay attention he explains it really well.
Amazing teacher. Makes class fun and loves to crack some jokes. Attend and pay attention in class or you will struggle in the test and final exams. Will give you as much feedback as possible and will help you do well. He gives his all in his lectures and explains everything thoroughly. I took BAB140 and BAB240 with him and received A's in both.
Needs to create his own examples and explanations that give meaning to what is in the textbook, so that students have a deeper understanding, rather than reading right from the textbook as if it's book club.
Attend & pay attention in class, he gives all the detail in lectures all you need to do is pay attention, take notes & understand you will pass. he will help you in any way he can if you seek his help. he is organised & consistent with his work which made it easy to comprehend gives extra grade for trying. great accounting for first timers.
If you take his online class, you probably get PowerPoint parties.
GET READY FOR A PPT LECTURE IF YOU ARE TAKING ONLINE CLASS
Course material is extremely difficult and we are left with little guidance, not clear on requirements, doesn't explain the material well enough and you are left to fend for yourself more often than not, youtube will be your best friend as frankly, he is useless in explaining it the course material.
A nice person cares about his students but get ready to learn by yourself. grading is clear and fair
Anyone had him for Winter2021? God, we had to listen to his voice on a broken mic for 4 months. I would mute him and just teach myself from the slides. He was just okay honestly. I really wish he changed that mic. Would have given him a 3 then.
Sameer knows how to teach accounting, I will give him that. He's very knowledgeable. However, classes are boring and uninspiring. It turns into white noise eventually due to the lack of enthusiasm on his part.
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.
His online sessions and Youtube channel are very clear and easy to understand. Online tests are fair
He makes online-class very straight forward and invites students to ask questions. I recommend taking him!
Whoever reading this, DO NOT TAKE this Professor. This is my worse Prof of all time. He made this course extremely difficult. He teach very easy questions in class but, the test and mid was very hard questions.
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.
Wonderful experience!
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
This professor is the best professor. Just close your eyes and take this professor. He is just amazing. No words to explain.
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.
teaches through youtube videos, then explain in depth and answers any questions and will help you understand clearly. Even if you miss a class, his videos will help. great teacher!
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
One of my best professors
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.
He is approachable and responsive. The course is well-organized, with clear expectations and fair grading.
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.
Engaging professor with clear lectures. Highly recommend using the free textbook along with unstuck AI for extra practice and study prep. Attend classes and you'll do well in this course.
If you show up to class and listen, you will do well!
Sameer is a good professor, loves to read of slides primarily, however easy to follow and review any information, hard to understand sometimes because of the strong accent
he's so sweet and posts youtube videos of the lectures, his midterms are exactly what you'd expect, no surprises, don't hesistate to take prof sameer
He seems like a nice guy but the thing is he didn't answer any of my emails so if you have to get an answer from him good luck
He's nice and very knowledgeable on what he's teaching.
