Reviews of professor Azamat Sakiev

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His class is structured with clear learning expectations. He stays on topic and gives solid examples and context to what we learned. Go to class and pay attention and the quizzes are easy. His grading for online assignments isn't very transparent and he takes points off for seemingly no reason. He has no tolerance for late/missed assignments.

Honestly the worst professor Ive had at WCU. Lectures dont make sense and are hard to follow, and he is downright rude when anyone goes to him for help. Roughly 1/3 of my class withdrew midway because 50% of the class failed the midterm. All tests and quizzes are entirely open-ended. Didnt follow instructions in his syllabus. Dont take him.

This class was the easiest online class I've taken. These reviews scared me, but my advisor told me to go for it anyway, and I'm so thankful I did. He provides the textbook for you, you read the chapters and write a response for them online. Theres also one quiz a week, which is easy, especially if you use google. Short, final paper at the end.

The WORST professor at WCU by far! Quiz questions come from other chapters that were not assigned! Quick grading but most people fail his quizzes and tests because he makes it impossible to get an A on it. Hes unwilling to help when you ask for it and makes you feel dumb for asking for help. Strict rules and guidelines, no exception.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HIM, for the discussions online he wants you to write an actual essay. If you don't have more than 4 paragraphs, he will ask you to "expand more" on your discussion. Nothing seems like it's enough for him and his grading is very vague and unfair. I took this class as an elective but I actually regret it now...
