When everyone is failing, you're doing something wrong. Is attendance mandatory? Idk. Don't go. There's no point. She can't explain anything. Read the textbook. But even then, her exam will ask about things you've never even heard of. Good luck and beware. Take this class somewhere else because she's the only prof who teaches it here.

She doesn't even have a doctorate degree, she's a lab technician so idek how she legally taught biochem. TERRIBLE prof but nice. If you're brown, she'll help you out w your grade at the end. Has literally 0 idea about the content herself. Would prob fail her own test. Tests have numerous grammatical errors so good luck understanding the question.

I have taken Dr. Ali for Genetics lab and Biochem lecture. I received an A in both classes. She is very traightforward with what she expects. Her slides are condensed versions of the textbook so she saves you from reading unnecessary material. Approach her outide of class and she will happily spend a lot of time explaining confusing topics.

She is not THAT bad. She's nice. if she sees effort, she notices & bumps ur grade. Material's a lot to memorize. Biochem seems simple, not difficult, interesting pathways, seems like it can't be that hard at face value. Somehow, exams are impossible... btw, how did the lab tech rumor start? She has a PhD, damn.. she's smart, but can't teach

She is a lab tech. don't know how they made her a professor just because she has a PHD with no teaching skills. If you ask her biochemistry question she has no idea on how to explain it. Not good at answering question and not good explain biochemistry. Whoever says she helps students out is totally wrong. She just read directly off power points.

Dr. Ali lacks basic teaching skills. She reads off the powerpoint and zips through them, not giving students enough time to write down and process the information. Has a slight accent, but understandable. Her exams aren't too bad if you've studied the material for a good amount of time. Nonetheless, I would not recommend taking this professor.
