Super witty. Very enthusiastic and the best prof at RyeHigh by far!
between the cat (non-human children) stories, smoke breaks, endless caffeine and his 'aerobics', he's the perfect prof for the course. i laughed for 2 semesters straight. amazing.

Best prof at Ryerson. Very Intelligent, dedicated, knowledgable, super enthusiastic. Lectures are very entertaining. Tests are thorough and you actually have to go to class and pay attention. Overall a great professor
Give this man tenure.
An outstanding professor. Excellent teaching style. Has a passion for teaching and the subject. Knows his stuff really well. Just study really hard and you should do fine. Gotta love the 'Smoke Breaks' and sooo many of his cats stories.Fun to learn from!
By far the greatest psychology professor I ever had at Ryerson! ABSOLUTELY!!! Dances and jumps around, wears the same black clothes with armpits showing, drinks coffee with 6 packs of sugar, has a smoke with students! He's a true psychology prof!!!
Very amusing in lectures. HILARIOUS prof.Take his class. You will learn a lot and like psychology
Really Great guy. Sort of easy going. Teaches very well and makes the concepts crystal clear. You will never feel bored in his class. Be prepared to do lots of reading in psychology and he also gives questions on tests that are only from lecture notes
Wonderful prof. Very patient and helpful during office hours. Very approachable. If you have a problem, you can freely talk to him and he will explain you the concepts again. Very Fair tests. Other profs should learn to be as honest and dedicated as him
Questions, Comments, Criticisms?
Psychology of Thinking was not the easiest course ever but he made it great. The course has some overlap with philosophy and that part was pretty boring. Good prof. Interested in what he does and gives interesting lectures
Very Very good professor, I wouldn't say he's easy. It's hard to get an "A" but easy to get "B" range marks as long as you put some effort. He marks very reasonably on the assignment writing part, but multiple choice tests can be trick
Amazing Professor, really enjoyed his class, still laugh about some of the stories related to class topics he told. He has an amazing way of explaining difficult concepts relating them to everyday life in an amusing way, these concepts stick with you.
Very Helpful Prof. Best Teacher at Ryerson. He knows how to teach and get the concepts across your brain.
Very Helpful prof!
really really nice prof. He's smart and helpful
Personality was probably the Best Psychology course I've ever taken. He teaches so damn well and makes the concepts even more clear than water. I'm sure nobody can teach the chapter on Freud with that much enthusiasm. Excellent Proff!
Excellent and awesome professor
KNOWLEDGABLE, SMART, FUNNY AND VERY ENTERTAINING. GREAT STORY TELLER. NICE CAT STORIES
Great prof! Awesome Lectures! First test was really easy but the second was pretty tough. Essay marking is fairly good. Teaches with an enthusiastic attitude. Not one of those stuck up dry Aliens one usually encounters as professors.
Great professor!
AMAZING prof!!!! If you have him as your prof, then you are so lucky. He loves what he teaches and presents boring material with enough humour to keep it interesting. One of the best profs at Ryerson!!!
i NEVER HAD SUCH EXCELLENT PROF
An awesome teacher. I've enjoyed his class the most among all my courses. Gotta love his cat stories. I would recommend everyone to take this prof's class. Great experience
Definitely a great man. Takes a smoke break with students. Jumps around while lecturing and gets really excited sometimes. All I have to say is this is an extraordinary great professor. Coolest prof EVERRRRRRRRRRR
Amazing beyond words. If you are going to take any psychology course, enroll in his class immediately.
Very enthusiastic. Best prof at Ryerson for sure.
Excellent teacher. Explains concepts very clearly with lots of examples. Helpful during office hours. Cares about the students. He smokes a lot, just like Sigmund Freud.
good prof, but not that easy to get an "A"
Being a sincere, open minded, funny and STRANGE professor, Sohail knows how to keep your interest even though the course itself is a bore. Just try to see professor Sohail stand still or stop yelling during class and it would be a first. Good professor.
Great prof, really awesome course. Gets hyper sometimes while teaching. Really great guy that obviously loves to teach. Teaches some units with more enthusiasm than others. Terrific teacher, one of the very few best profs.
very clear, very helpful, best psyc prof at ryerson by far!
Best prof in the entire world!!! Made me love psychology!!!
He is the most interesting Psychology professor I ever had in Ryerson. I love Psychology even more wish I had more Psychology course, but that was my last course in my studies
All around good teacher. Nice person too.
I found him to be a cool guy and an awesome professor.
Sohail is a really nice man. I enjoyed his class and recommend anyone to take a course with him.
My fav class was PSY105.. Sohail was the best prof ever. i loved going to class. and looked forward to the next class. and i dont even like psycology. take psy class with him.. you will enjoy class and actually learn something :)
He's the best prof ever..I luv him..He rocks.
EXCELLENT
Dude rocks, he's got a real loveon for PSY which make his class a pleasure to be in. He tends to go into incomprehensible rants in which he turns red, has trouble breathing, and is over all just plain funny!
HILLARIOUS Prof!!! Funny and excited about what he teaches.
He tells nice stories and is enthusiastic.
cool prof who can go off in the most insane and hilarious rants during lectures.....very entertaining and useful class.
You rock

i loved going to that class !
Hey is the best prof BY FAR! Always keeps you interested in class and he always makes his students laugh- even if its AT him! I would take every psych course he teaches if I could!!
Dr. Rashid is one of the best professors I have had the fortune of taking a course with. He inspired me and got me interested in Psychology. I would strongly recommend his classes to anyone. You will laugh a lot and enjoy too. He is very flexible, helpful, and accomodating to his students. You rarely find such good profs in a University setting.
Awesome professor! Very helpful - he's good at taking complex concepts and explaining them in layman terms. In fact, this course was what inspired me to take psychology as a major. He's really that awesome. His stories often serve as humourous examples, and he loves cats.
BEST PROF I'VE EVER HAD !! I'M @ A DIFFERENT UNIVERSITY NOW AND I'D COME BACK JUST TO TAKE A COURSE WITH HIM !!!

Rashid is, by far, the best professor I've ever had! So clear, so full of energy, so interested in the teaching material, that I considered it a Sin to miss his class. He's The best at what he does, and that's Making Psych Fun, even for us lowly engineers.
Explains things in his own words, so that you'll understand in your own words. He is amazingly clear and focused for someone so expressive. And interesting.
Wow, you're never going to meet another professor at Ryerson who is more expressive and enthusiastic then him. Extremely extremely considerate, accomodating and helping. If you can, get into one of his classes. You won't regret it! :)
He's a great professor that wants students to learn and have fun. Lots of interesting stories.
good teacher!love to go to his class,full of energy but sometimes i can't hear what he says,it's like he mumbles. but his class was interestin,very helpful,some of his assignments are the same questions as last semster. he helps me doing my assignment and explain things to me.won't drifted to sleep in his class.he is using everyday examples.
AWESOME prof. take his classes - you won't be disappointed.
this prof is so energetic it's great. i loved his class. the course is very interesting and he does a great job of teaching the material. DO NOT get turned off after your first class with him, he may seem a little weird with some of his "moments", and he may mumble at times, but he's truly one of a kind. EXTREMELY helpful outside of class.
Excellent professor! He exuberates such energy and passion in his lectures and work that you can't help but absorb some of it yourself. Very approachable and accomodating, would even let us pick test dates and deadlines. And don't worry, mild crazyness is the mark of a true genious.
This professor is awesome!! He might seem a little crazy in the beginning, and he is in a good way, but thats what makes his classes so much more entertaining. HE REALLY KNOWS HIS MATERIAL AND HE IS VERY HELPFUL WHEN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING!!! Make sure to take one of his classes! He will make you laugh :)
Makes the class come alive and very passionate about what he does. JUNG!!
he drinks tons of coke haha he's extremely energized!! he's jks!
Came and lectured some students at a community centre where I do my co-op even AFTER I was in his class! He's a total peach, and a great, funny prof with loads of talent!!
The best prof ever! I loved him. The class is really interesting too, I got an A...
To all students who are interested in psychology courses.you will be inspired by Sohail Rashid and the way he teaches.probably you will be shocked at first by his odd behavior,but it doesn't take you a long time to get used to his method of teaching which is wonderful.He keeps the class interesting by his amazing examples.He has been the best profe
Because of him I graduated with a degree from Psychology from a different University. I was his student couple years back when I attended Ryerson as a Cont Ed student. I owe him a lot. He's the reason I became a PSYCH major. He will make everything easy to understand and he is really fair and caring for his students. Amazing. Just amazing.
Fair marking on the term paper. Kind, helpful, funny as hell, makes lecture exciting. He explains great the stuff on Freud and he knows a lot about personality psychology. Study hard and you're set to do well with this man.
I'VE BEEN IN SCHOOL FOR 6 YRS AND THRU TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. I HAD THIS PROF IN MY FIRST YEAR. 6 YRS AND 50 PROFS LATER, I STILL THINK HES THE BEST!
he's crazy but interesting...really loves psychology..easy tests/exam
Best Prof ever! he's a great lecturer, his classess are really interesting and you'll get a really good mark as long as you pay attention
His antics are amusing and he is genuinely interested in the material. His tests contain biased questions about his preferences and opinions. He was awkward to deal with regarding a discussion of my term paper. He doesn't have a marking rubric, and couldn't substantiate his decisions. It was a disappointing end to his class.
Hands down the BEST PROF for personality theory. Engaging, interactive, entertaining, and a true "cat person"! He was approachable and willing to help. I had this prof's class a couple of years back and I still fondly remember every single session. HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE to take his course. A "true Freudian" & amazing prof. Sohail you rock!
If you are looking for an interesting psychology course, with the weirdest, craziest and of course one of the best damn teachers + to get an A, take this course with THIS prof. You wont regret it.
he's a really good prof. but he gets a little excited when he's teaching. he usually goes on these rants and his voice will go really high pitched and start speaking very quickly. it doesn't get in the way of teaching, its just funny.
He is SO GREAT!!!! He is one of if not the best prof Ryerson has to offer. I have taken several of his classes and he makes everything so clear and he does everything he can to help. I remember almost everything he talked about because he is so engaging.
He's very intelligent especially when you approach him one-on-one, but acts really nutty during his lectures. Probably is just amusing himself because the material is not all that interesting, but people who weren't even in the course would come to his class (****!) to watch him perform. At least he's not boring... tests and assignments were easy
It's a bit hard to get an A but a really great prof nonetheless. I studied my a$$ off and ended up with B+ but if you take his section, it is highly likely that you will fall in love with psychology. His passion for the subject rubs off on students, and his spirit and enthusiasm while teaching is unparalleled. Very very helpful person.
Awesome prof...best prof this term...very helpful...always...always full of energy...very funny ...just amazing...even if you hate psych (me)...you will love this guy....
Hillarous good prof. Keep up with readings, read the notes you take in class, and guaranteed B+/A- grade. He loves psychology and is helpful when you want him to re-explain anything during office hours or after class.
I took this class after reading all the positive comments on this site and they were absolutely correct! He is an amazing, interesting and dynamic teacher. TAKE ONE OF HIS COURSES and you will look forward to class!
I had him many years ago for Social Psych and still think of him as one of my all-time favourite profs.
Mr. Rashid is an amazing prof. He is very helpful and always willing to help his students. He knows Psych very well and knows how to teach it simplest way for the students to understand clearly. He is very funny and crazy at times but thats what makes Mr. Rashid who he is. God Bless Him
Amazing prof. Willing to help his students, and he knows Psych very well. He is very funny and makes class enjoyable to attend. Awesome prof, there should be more profs like him!!!!!!!!!!!
HE IS AMAZING PROF HE IS VERY RESPECTFUL AND KIND HEART HUMAN BEING AND CARES FOR STUDENTS. HE IS VERY RESPONSIBLE AND TAKES HIS TEACHING DUTIES VERY SERIOUSLY AND CARES FOR THE SUCCESS OF HIS STUDENTS. WISH THERE WERE MORE PROFS LIKE HIM IN RYERSON. I HAVE TAKEN 3 COURSES WITH HIM AND HAVE ENJOYED EVERY LECTURE. IT WAS WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY.
Great professor. Took many courses after taking his Intro psych course. Found him interesting. Lots of reading but fair prof.
Excellent Professor, his lectures are fun and he is very energetic. Provides many examples of how the theory can be applied, and explains concepts in great detail. Very helpful and approachable - ask him questions and he will certainly help you out. Exams are difficult but read the text and pay attention to his lecture notes, this will help!
he is energetic and eccentric......one of my favourite profs @ ryerson.
He is such an amazing prof. He is easily my favorite. He helps you out a lot, and will give you a good grade if he sees you're doing some work. He is very funny too, very eccentric. Every single is very enjoyable and interesting.
He is an awesome teacher! Very clear, concise and very nice. The main reason he is so awesome is because he's entertaining. :) You'll find out on your first day of classes - what I mean.
amazing prof. i m tellin just amazin by god. the most interesing prof i've ever had.the way this prof teaches is incredible. i would recommend everyone to atleast take a course with him to experience what i m talkin about.
He is a really funny guy, he gets so excited when he teaches, he explains very good, as good as psychology can possibly be makes everything crystal clear. Tests are not too bad either. Maybe some are slightly tough, but others are straightforward. He has so much passion for psychology, that's what makes him a great prof. An asset for Ryerson Univ
Hail to the walfordskin! this is by far the best prof. i have ever had. His teaching style is very new and innovative, and lecture attendance is a must. You will learn a lot in this class, and may develop a liking of psychology. 3 tests worth 25%, one 25% essay. SOHAIL IF UR READING THIS, U DA MAN!
He was the best professor I've had to date.He lectures so well it's unreal!If there were more profs like him,who were genuinely passionate & enthusiastic about what they teach,university would be more enjoyable for every student!I will always remember this class,what I learned(bc it's relevant to real life)& espcially Prof Rashid & his cat stories!
Phenomenal Prof. In the top running for the best teacher I've had. Super fun to watch, didn't make the course too difficult either.
best prof ever! Made psy reall easy and simple. If i am ever taking a psy course again, i will be aiming to get him as a prof!
Good.
Highly recommended!!! He's not easy though, you do have to put your time and effort into the class. He has a lot of knowledge to share.
Hillarious prof. Take his course for sure. He would make you laugh a lot. His lectures are like comedy and entertainment and his testing is quiet fair and reasonable.
Dr Rashid's lectures are a unique experience! Whether ill, depressed,stressed for time, hungry or exhausted, I would definiely catch every lecture. There is only one Prof Rashid in the whole Universe.
Profs like him are rare in Canada: Helpful, knowledgeable, passionate, open-minded and educated. This man is the reason I became interested in psychology and started pursuing a career in it. He's a very open-minded and educated individual who will allow you to explore psychology your own way. I'd be honored to take any more courses with him. A+
Best professor in Ryerson. I took intro to psychology with him. Cons: Wish there was more office hours. Pros: very helpful and clear.
I got a C+ in intro to psychology. And i'm pissed at the mark. So I am trying to think really hard about points to complain about; but unforetunately, he's a great professor, and i got nothing. If you attend ALL lectures, and study the text carefully, you'll get A+. he's very helpful and educated
The best prof ever! I took two courses with him and loved it. His wide knowledge and style of lecturing allow students to learn with fun. Thanks to his countless life-related examples I found material easier to memorize. Professor Rashid made me in-love with psychology. It was an honour to be his student.
Good Teacher, bit weird though. Easy to understand. provides great examples along the way. well informed in his field. in order to get an A, you gotta attend ALL classes and do your readings
This was my first university prof at the fire college and I didn't know what to make of his eccentric style of teaching. As a firefighter I did not have a kean interest in psych but that changed in the first few mins into his lecture.I have also developed a love for cats.
