Reviews of professor Braima Salaam

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Very unprofessional professor! He didnt allow any test makeup even during a hard time like COVID. Students are stressed the most & he didnt have a care in the world. He is not understanding at all.

His class definitely required reviewing all of the material, but I still ended with an A. He was sometimes confusing but he offers extra credit for every section of the class. I did not find him to be as difficult as others claim.

I'm not sure how he is in person, but online he isn't helpful at all. He doesn't respond to emails, and essentially tells the class that he can't do anything to accommodate us if we have computer problems.

Where do I even start, I thought this class was going to be easy. WRONG. All Saalm does is stand up there with his coffee clicking through slides so fast you dont even have time to write down everything. He says to read the book so basically this class is a teach yourself all the material you are basically paying this professor to click a button

Salaam is pretty good teacher overall. He does flip through slides rather quickly but he does slow down if you ask him to. He does not post any powerpoints on blackboard which is why it is important to go to class and read the book. He teaches well and cares about the students understanding of each topic. He gives out a BUNCH of extra credit.

Unclear in grading, clicks through slides fast, at first he would slow down if you asked but later started telling us no or completely ignoring. Notes aren't posted so attendance is recommended but not required. I turned in several assignments a week late and received full credit. Easy class but difficult professor. Be ready to teach yourself.

I took this course online due to covid. I would not recommend this teacher. If you don't remember word for word that he says you will most likely not pass. His exams are based on his lectures and not really the book. He nitpicks your writing and doesn't make it clear what he really wants.

He is possibly the worst professor I have ever had. He does not have any level of understanding or sympathy for students who are struggling or behind. He is incredibly insensitive and rude. There is absolutely no need for the ungodly amount of anger and rudeness he takes out on his students. Avoid him at all costs.

I took this class online, most lectures were recorded. If you don't read the book you won't do well. His grading is harsh and the instructions are sometimes unclear. If you read the book and memorized/understood everything in the review sessions you'll pass the exams. Whatever you do, don't miss an exam. He isn't patient or understanding.
