Reviews of professor Ahmad Samin

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Currently taking the summer course with no chem background. So far he is a horrible teacher. Definitely rushes through lectures and takes points off of worksheets. You have to definitely study on your own. Self taught class. I am learning everything on You Tube. All I need is a C to get to chem 1A. I don't recommend taking him.

If you're taking Chem 010, then Professor Samin is a must! He is very funny and caring. His lecture is very entertaining, so its very easy to participate. I took him over the summer and he is amazing. Just try to understand his lecture and you'll succeed.

Samin is such a great guy. He made Chemistry very fun and really connected with us students. This class is hard however with the professor (if you study and put in the work) you could def get an A! If you want to succeed in this class you need to attend lectures and ask questions when you get confused. 10/10 professor

He knows Chemistry and expects you to as well. His accent can be difficult to understand and if you get stuck you better figure out a way to teach it to yourself because he does not like to go over things twice. He is a nice person but I struggled with his teaching style.

He is a good teacher but he does give a lot of work to be completed is usually very late at responding when needed to. Gives long lecture videos usually 1-2 hours long. Test and exams are the major in your grade as well as your labs. 1 big major project in the middle of the semester. Just make sure to not get behind and watch all lectures.

I took Dr. Samin over the summer (2018). It was his first semester teaching at Solano. He was one of the best instructors Ive ever had. He made chemistry very enjoyable. Although we didnt have homework, there were pop quizzes, and pre-laboratory quizzes. Take his class and youll acquire the knowledge to do very well in chem 001.

I enjoyed his class. If you are a person who dose not understand basic concepts of chemistry you may struggle. He explains topics okay. I had to teach myself a lot, but overall easy class for me.

Professor Samin really wants his students to be successful! He is very friendly! Ask as many questions as possible, and he will stop and explain patiently. Professor Samin also posts premade lecture videos online every week before class, and those videos are beneficial.I also recommend 2x class with 2a; it will help a lot before quizzes and exams.

Dr. Samin makes chemistry enjoyable. He is straightforward about how you need to learn and will take the time to help you understand if you ask! He has funny stories about his life and he is really really really smart, but does not make you feel dumb ever! If you put the work in, he will notice and you will do well.
