Reviews of professor Abiye Alamina

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I think Professor Alamina is a great guy who is clearly very passionate about what he teaches. His rating here is being dragged down by people who do not care about economics and just need the credits. If that sounds like you, don't take him. He goes in quite a lot of depth for a principles class: great if you major in econ. not so much otherwise!!

If you don't have a basic understanding of econ I would not recommend. Otherwise if you're up for the challenge the class isn't to difficult. I would study for maybe an hour before the test on the Mindtap homework website and most of the test questions would be similar to that. Also you have 1 month to do your assignments which was nice.

no matter how hard you try you will get the average score does not matter your highest effort. Exams are super hard and unrelated to anything on cengage.

I took this as an online class.  The topic was not my favorite and I chose to take it as an online class after failing it in person with another instructor.  I found the instructor to be very clear about the class guidelines.  He was available via email if I had questions.

Don't go into this class expecting an easy A or light coursework. I was not only swamped with work, but Professor Alamina is always unhelpful when you reach out to ask for help. He always responds with a rude quip or just doesn't bother to reply, which is awful when you have questions or inevitable technical difficulties on Cengage.
