Reviews of professor Kasim Husain

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Husain's class was by far my favourite course of the year. Although this class was a very steep learning curve at first, my writing has drastically improved, and I feel much more prepared for university in general. Dr. Husain is very accessible through office hours, and I highly recommend attending them, especially when planning assignments.

Literally the biggest wast of time I ever spent in a class. Showed up to lectures for participation marks and even took notes, but got nothing out of it. You can easily do the final projects without needing to take the class, he will only make you doubt the abilities you already have. More effort will not be rewarded, conforming to his ideas will.

Dr. Husain is a very caring prof and does his best to help his students. However, his lecture slides aren't very helpful and his grading is very tough.

I found that the books we read did not really peak my interest. This course prepares you for academic writing and research papers, but other than that can be fairly dry. I had this class as a requirement and would probably not recommend it unless you enjoy lots of writing.

I find this course to be useful in the long run, despite it being demanding and intense. Expect lots of writing and reading along with critical analysis. Kasim gives constructive and personalized feedback for each work and is helpful if you approach him during his office hours

As a person, he is kind. As a professor, he is horrible.

Kasim is truly a gem of a teacher, just based on his mannerisms and how much he cares about his students and their work. Although the content of his class is often quite tough to comprehend, he tries to best make sure everyone is on the same page. He's a great teacher, with really good intentions for all his students! Pay attention to his feedback!

Kasim if a great prod who clearly cares about his students. This class is reading and theory heavy and I found that his assignment instructions tended to be unclear. He tries to give students flexibility when it comes to deadlines but the shortfall is that marks come in much later, so its harder to gauge how he marks.
