Reviews of professor Mourad Laabdi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He did pre-recorded lectures, but the content was clear accompanied with slides, and he did weekly quizzes which seemed annoying but actually helped me keep on top of the content and not fall behind, which I liked. He was helpful, although lectures sometimes seemed a bit dull. Good prof though teaches content well!

This prof seems to think that all his students are only taking one course which is his and assigns work that way. Gives readings to do each week which average about 50 pages most of which are complicated for people new to the subject to understand. Gives way too much work. Im sure the course is great if its just his course you take and no others.

Mourad is an incredible teacher, he knows his subject well and is very capable of articulating complex lessons in a way that can easily be comprehended. You get to use cheat sheets for the midterm and final which helps ALOT. The only thing that sucks is reflection papers which are done weekly and worth 20 percent of your final grade.

I am taking this class as a full year course (almost over). In this covid time of studying online, it is amazing how very organized the course page is and everything is so clear. Lectures could be delivered better (maybe they are in a physical class), but the ppt is so animated and alive. Definitely recommend Mourad as a professor.

Poorly structured lectures and unclear assignment expectations. Least favourite class for my minor so far.

Weekly reading papers that are graded on completion so it feels like there's no reason to do so. His assignments are ridiculously hard to read, the book report being the heaviest. His lectures are interesting enough but all the outside work is unnecessary. Makes you want to drop the class.
