Reviews of professor Abdul-Malik Ryan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Malik-Ryan, also goes by Abu Noor, is one of the kindest professors I have been fortunate enough have so far. He taught my Explore Chicago course, and he made every class enjoyable and informative. Whenever I was struggling, I felt comfortable reaching out to him knowing he would help in any way he could.

Very kind professor. Always happy to discuss with us broad topics, and generally really welcoming to students. As a freshman, it can be intimidating to ask professors for feedback, help, etc, but in his class, I always felt heard. Make sure to do your readings, they are necessary to better understand the subject. Participate during lectures!

Professor overall is very good at teaching. The class itself has a lot of reading but he is an easy grader.

Lectures are long but he makes it worth it. They are very informative and outright captivating in my opinion. You'll learn a lot about Islamic Chicago as it is what this class is centered around. Very understanding, very lenient, just do the work on time and participate a bit and you'll get a B no problem.
