Reviews of professor Sadiq Silbak

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He creates a very hostile and intimidating environment for students. Class started with 20 people and ended with 9. No one had an A He grades the daily quizzes extremely hard and makes very rude comments to the point no one is brave enough to ask questions or answer his questions.

Sadiq as a person is fine, but I had him his first semester teaching A&P at Xavier & he had no clue what he was doing. He had to get clarification before telling us if we could do anything or even if the information was correct. He takes a long time to grade & put grades in. Sadiq is super smart & doesn't have great social skills.

WORST professor I have ever had to deal with in my entire life. Yes, he is a very smart man, but that means nothing if you cannot translate this knowledge into words students can understand. He refers to himself as a "Nazi grader" and doesn't accept answers as correct unless they are verbatim what his answer would be. Get him out of here X.....

Overall not a good professor. Expects you to know everything word for word or he takes points off. If its not the way he wants it then its not right. Not helpful during office hours, tells you what you're doing wrong as a student and degrades you.

Sadiq is very intelligent and great as a person, but he does not have the skills to relay the information he knows to the students in a way that we can understand. He made the class very difficult to understand, and we ran out of time on almost every lab which made us have to go to open lab every week. I would avoid him if you can.

I had Nancy Matre at Xavier first semester and did perfectly fine, second semester with Sadiq has been rough. I did everything I did first semester and did not succeed like I did before. He knows his stuff, but he doesn't know how to teach. He grades way tougher and his quizzes are harder than with other profs. Take someone else if you can.
