Reviews of professor Alex Hakimi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Goes through lecture way too fast. Either take notes or listen, there won't be time for both. Has little to no interest in your learning, purely there to act as Gate Keeper for engineering. Does not review concepts you do not understand, will never give any information about what might be on tests or quizzes.

Terrible lectures, Spends all of class writing notes somewhat making you choose whether you would like to write down the notes or listen to what he has to say.

I dont recommend this teacher for any engineering classes because the way that he teaches is very terrible bad notes, he goes over the lecture very fast u cannot even understand anything from his speaking. Very bad attitude. He is the worst teacher in Unt and engineering department

I do not think Hakimi's lectures are helpful for such a difficult course. His desire to help his students seems inconsistent and the tests were not similar to the assigned homework. We were given a project that was unnecessarily stretched over the course of the semester, but I did earn an A on the project despite receiving a D in the course.

He goes so fast through the lectures and assumes everyone gets it and then moves forward. Impossible to take notes and keep up at the same time. I wish there was another professor for this course.

His class is hard but that's the nature of control systems. However, he is fair and always willing to help. He cares about the future of his students. If you work hard in his class, you will actually learn some interesting material. He gives challenging problems but they help you become a better problem solver and they are interestingactical.

I like Qualls' teaching style better because she explains things more clearly but Haikimi isn't too bad. You do have to choose between listening and taking notes though.

While others disliked him, I gave him a chance. I was wrong. After taking Hakimi for Controls he's one of the rudest, least helpful professors I have taken. Good luck asking a question during class without him saying "I don't have time for this right now." as well as poor and vague explanations. The class is hard, Hakimi is awful; it's a nightmare.
