Reviews of professor Alex Hakimi

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Hakimi is a cool dude, but he kinda has a weird teaching strategy. He might not anymore but when I had him hed give us the hw/quiz/test/project tell us good luck. He was very helpful at times and completely radio silent at others. Tests are hard he put oddball questions that were even covered and he didnt give a lick of help for the project.

I would not recommend Hakimi for MEEN 2240 if you want to learn in class. The material is not difficult, but you have to teach yourself pretty much everything. The homework assignments can take hours. He does not give feedback if you do not understand a concept. Attendance is not required but there are random in-class assignments, so don't skip.

Hes full of himself and offers little to no help during lecture. Its a waste of his time apparently to answer questions. He never kept a constant Zoom number which required us to always wait for an email with alink. The required homework (all matlab) had nothing to do with the quizzes or exams which relate to questions from the book and not matlab

I had Hakimi for Intro to Programming during Spring 2020 and it was a really easy A. I got a 105 in the class and as long as you pay attention you'll get a good grade. Just make sure you go to the lectures and take notes (follow along with him in MATLAB), because if you miss a lecture it'll be hard to catch up.

The class its self is generally difficult but it didnt help that he was not allowing students to ask questions during the lecture. He would not be clear when asked questions relating to the class and would respond rudely. He gave homeworks that were not related to the quizzes or the exams.

I found the class difficult, however all coursework was graded fairly easy. Class consists of going over lecture slides, and typing notes with interactive examples. There is a quiz almost every week, which you are notified ahead of time on what to expect on them. Take good notes, and you should do fine.
