Reviews of professor Ibrahim Abdoulahi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Literally the worst CS professor at Tech. He is not organized. His lectures are all over the place. He reads off of the slides. Does not go over important stuffs and has little to no information about it on the slides. If you think its not important he WILL ask it on the quiz or exam. There was no structure to his class.Avoid 100% if you can.

He talks very low into the board, and students can't hear him when lecturing. He takes very simple concepts and overexplains them to a point of confusion. This class was pretty much self-taught.

Great teacher, gives some of the best homework feedback out of anyone, the tests are very well put together, and he gives really good study guides. both times that I have taken a class with him, I have almost immediately been able to put the knowledge obtained to some use.

Dr. Abdoulahi is a coherent lecturer when you can hear him. The biggest issue was that he gave quizzes before he gave a lot of the homeworks.

He is learning, and developing into a great professor! Even in the last year he has improved a lot! He is a very genuine and nice guy. I have enjoyed his classes.

I've had him for multiple classes, some of which involved coding while others didn't. I found him to be a far better teacher in the classes where coding wasn't involved. He has trouble explaining concepts that he feels we should be able to understand and code from the get go. He teaches straight from his power points and barely anything else.

Really good lecturer, really cares that we understand the material and will go over it until he's sure we understand.

His lectures were very heavy for 265, but he explained concepts more than once and made sure everyone understood them before moving on to the next section. Few quizzes that are easy if you study the notes and homework. His accent is a bit strong and he has a light voice, but overall he is a good professor, took him twice already!

Unclear grading criteria and he needs to become more confident in his teaching. He just kinda mumbles sometimes. But he is a nice guy, needs to learn.

Majority of my class time with him was online because of COVID-19, his lectures were always on time and recorded. Very helpful outside of lecture, quick to do zoom one on one meetings and responsive to emails. Really made sure students understood the material well.

Ibrahim Abdoulahi is one of the worst professors I have had in my three years at Louisiana Tech. He's a terrible communicator and a worse lecturer. I have had to teach myself basically all the information in order to make a good grade. Professor Abdoulahi has been nothing but a hindrance to my education throughout this course.
