Worst prof for an AMDS course. You can not even use a laptop or an electronic device to take notes, he is so rude, and old style professor, his lectures are long, boring and he always go to the limit time wise, also he has a strong accent. Just don't please, save your money and gpa.

I had this prof for the summer term. At the start I honestly didn't like him, he seemed to be very moody and didn't treat student respectively. However, he starts to lighten up.. I will say he doesn't allow laptops or phones while in class, so be sure to keep that away, but he teaches the material well and is honest for what to expect on exams.

The assignment makes no sense to me by any design, his course won't help you for any education purpose or set you up for success, a total waste of time. Teaching this course only to get paid. Honestly the worst teacher and total waste of life.

Professor Abdullah is nice and wants his students to succeed, but I found his teaching style to be incompatible with the way I learn. I wish we could have gone through tougher examples in class in addition to the basic ones. Ultimately, this course is one you will have to teach yourself. Rules around midterms felt unfair and excessively complex.

Lots of homework

You get 1 chance to learn the problem when he does it in lecture, that's it. No textbook solutions, no recorded tutorials, and will scream at you if you take a picture of the board in lecture. Assignments that take days are worth less than 6%, and test questions are ridiculously wordy/difficult compared to the 1 practice example he does. AVOID!

I liked prof's teaching methods. He wasn't rude to me personally but I've seen him being rude to a really good student for a mistake he made( prof announced the numbers incorrectly and the student obviously had an incorrect answer due to the prof's mistake). In general his tone is quite rude too.

If you are used to strict/particular teachers you'll be fine. Assignments are 6% but require hours of work. Midterm was much more difficult that the practice questions given in class. Show up to every lecture and ask him any questions in person and if you work hard you'll get a B+/A, if you have a heavy course load don't take this course.

Very supportive and knowledgeable instructor. He explains concepts clearly and takes the time to ensure every student understands before moving forward.

Very strict prof who bans photos of the board. Gives only one easy practice question, but exams are way harder and unrelated. No extra materials or past exams. You can't see quiz mistakes, so it's hard to improve. If you don't understand in class, there's no help or resources available.

ADMS 3353 could be an easy course but the prof makes it extremely difficult. The test questions are very difficult for such an easy course. Don't any classes with this prof or you will never do well.

Easy content but I don't know why they make tests and exams fairly harder than the lecture and tutorial practice questions. Professors need to learn and give past exams as proper practice for students if they want their students to do well... overall mostly useless content like most courses which you will forget a couple days after the exam...
