Reviews of professor Ali Chaudhary

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great professor. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches. Two exams and a final paper with exams being open notes. He can go very fast at times making it difficult to copy notes especially since I copied by hand but he posts the slides afterwards. Final paper was simple, nothing to difficult. Overall a great prof.

Not only does he care about his work but he cares about his students too. If you want a class where you can miss a lot, this isn't for you, absences can screw you over. Genuinely one of my favorite classes this semester.

Was not hard to get an A in this class - Exams were open notes, had to be printed. Used lockdown browser. Attendance was not mandatory however suggested because a lot of what he talks about you understand better if you are in person. 2 exams and 1 final paper. The professor was very funny and understanding.

Really easy if you pay attention to the lectures. They're pretty interesting so I didn't have a problem following them. Tests are open note and grading is very fair even with little effort.

Prof. Chaudhary is super passionate about what he teaches! He is always willing to talk outside of class and super accessible. 2 open note midterms, 3 reflections and a final essay. Class is super lecture heavy (not very interactive) and attendance is extra credit.

Took his honors seminar on immigration, really enjoyed the experience. Especially if you are/seem interested in his research, he's very approachable and extremely chill. Knows his subject very well, isn't afraid of good discussion, either. Would 100% recommend.

He's the worst. Don't take him if you think its going to be an easy A. Attendance isn't mandatory but then again he takes attendance whenever he wants so your grade would be lowered. He makes everything more complicated then it should be.

Dr. Chaudhary encourages students to debate one another in class and give feedback on each others projects. As someone whos pretty introverted I didnt participate too much but still got a good gradethe essays were my chance to shine! Also he is very knowledgeable and takes time to grade your work himself and leave constructive comments.

super interesting and very interesting person. he taught at Oxford and UC Davis and this was his first semester teaching as he did a lot of research at Oxford so its really cool to see his theories and have him present them

Great professor, actually cares about students. We had two exams (both open note) which were relatively easy and one final essay that was also very straightforward. He occasionally takes attendance but the attendance he takes is to help the students that show up rather than screw over the kids that don't. Attendance is basically extra credit.
