Reviews of professor Azamat Sakiev

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The Midterm was Sunday at 11:59 pm before spring break. Studied all week to be able to take it and when driving home for spring break my car broke down. Emailed him and said I could not take it and he told me it was too bad so I got a 0 for the midterm. Awful professor no one should ever take him

Tough grader. Bi-weekly quizzes are difficult. However, if you have a half decent work ethic and critical thinking skills you can get away with a C average. You just need to actually read the textbook chapters and memorize key terms and ideas. Many don't like him for this, but I've learned more from his classes than most others. Discretion advised.

Would give a 0 if I could... DO NOT TAKE CLASS IF LOOKING FOR AN EASY WRITING EMPHASIS! this class was ridiculously hard. The syllabus states the tests and quizzes will be a mix of short answer AND multiple choice.... there was not a single multiple choice on ANY quiz. Even people in this major didn't understand the questions on tests.

He absolutely sucks , midterm was 34 open ended questions . The study guide he gave out had 100 terms to know and not even HALF were on the midterm. If your going to do that at least give the students narrower guides. Also pretty sure the most useful comment was written by a staff member.

He creates opportunities to disadvantage his students, robs them of their academic confidence, and is rude and careless during lecture. Avoid at all costs.

Professor Sakiev should not have such a low score! I had him for my senior thesis and he was incredibly helpful. The nature of the course is difficult and lots of work, but it was easy to apply myself and get an A. He is kind and really wants students to succeed. It is easy to ask him for help. Sometimes people want class to be too easy...
