Reviews of professor Mohamad Alwan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This guy was so uptight about how little he actually had to do. One of his lectures literally started with an "I just work here, so don't expect me to help you".

If you can get past the condescending and rude attitude towards students he is not terrible.He will not reiterate concepts taught in previous classes that are useful for what he is currently teaching.He expects you to be a master at all your previous classes.He makes you feel stupid when you ask him a question.He brags about his failure rate of 50%

Course coordinator for this class. Had to work for everything in this class, has no understanding of engineering workloads, I spent more time doing math than focusing on my core classes. Getting work regraded will take all year. Avoid him all costs

Tests are difficult and based on knowledge that he says is "an extension of what is covered in class and the textbook" meaning that you would need to completely understand the material in class in order to do good on the tests and assignments. Not everything is super clear and is difficult to understand.

Hilarious teacher, I absolutely love this guy. The accent is a difficult one to understand, but when you get it down its a great class. If youre taking it through online he provides a lot of detail within his videos and its easy to follow along. If your in class he chalkboards the entire lecture so if youre a slow writer this is a perfect prof.

Despite going to all of the lectures, Dr. Alwan was never able to clearly and simply explain the topics discussed in class, as he seemingly goes out of his way to over complicate what he's teaching. He also gets annoyed when you ask any questions, as if it's not his job to be answering them. HUGE EGO.

Alwan is a great prof. He knows how to teach difficult concepts and gives engaging lectures. He writes everything down and also gives plenty of examples.

Only material graded are quizzes (6%*5 total), midterm (20%), and final (50%). This would be fine if it were not for the length of his exams, they're designed to be incompletable unless you are roughly in the top 10% of students. This combined with their difficulty level makes this class very challenging, as there is nothing to improve your grade.

It is being taught online and what he does is he goes through the papers and explains either highlighting or using the mouse. He sometimes confuses you. For examples:" okay guys this this this is a aa oh nononono sorry guys , this is...." He messes up a lot and it gets confused about what we are supposed to do. All he does is follow the pdf.
