Reviews of professor Sharif Mahmood

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The course used for this class was extremely user friendly and had helpful tips through Pearson Mylab. We used StatCrunch for our homework assignments and quizzes, in addition to it having our textbook. Additionally, Dr. Mahmood provided PowerPoint lectures and example videos for each chapter on blackboard.

If you have to take this class, just do it online. I had it in person, and I barely went because I couldnt understand him. All of the material is online. Nothing against him, he tried his best, but the course itself is just the worst. I would try and take a different class in general to satisfy the credit.

He is a nice and easy professor. He wants his students to get good grade in his class. However, he assigns tons of homework, and his accent is hard to understand. As long as you review the lectures, quizzes and study guides, making an A in his exam is possible. The final is a take-home test and you have several days to finish it. How awesome!

If you care about your well being, avoid him at all cost. While I do have an A, it was no thanks to him and mostly from watching online lectures from other professors outside of class. He goes way too fast when explaining content and is not patient when students ask for help. He also has made several students cry from belittling us in class.

There are a total of 5 exams. There are usually quizzes with the homework, but they are formatted the same which makes it easier. He also likes to work on the homework in class which is a plus the exams are taken online with lock down browser, but you don't go to class that day. Overall if you pay attention in lectures, you will do good.

He is hard to understand and assigns way too much homework that made me want to throw my laptop across the library. Lots of quizzes that are only 10%, lectures are unclear, only 2 midterms and then a final that made no sense.

You can take the class remotely, but attendance grade will suffer. Understanding guy really, if you have an issue he's perfectly fine to give you an extension on any assignment. Informal group project-no real expectations other than pick a topic and present it in class. Prioritizes in person attendance. Opportunities for bonus points if in person.
