Reviews of professor Said Ibrahimi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Although as a person he seems nice, the final exam had nothing to do with the assignments or the course. The lectures are not great and hard to listen with slides, assignments are repetitive and the participation grade is questionable.

Took this class as an engineering complimentary studies elective. The content itself is pretty basic, lectures were a bit dry but the group discussions were good. Research paper was time consuming. Final exam was a bit weird, it had a pretty big focus on comparing the two textbooks and was essay format. Overall not terrible, but could be better.

PSCI 1100. Professor's syllabus is extremely unorganized and clear lack of communication between the professor and his TA's. Syllabus and rubrics do not coincide and the grading is strict. Full course assignments in a late summer class, over 25 pages of work in the course of a month. Details on assignments come a week before they're due.

Prof Ibrahimi is so nice. He answers emails very quickly and is ready to help outside of class. I got a B in this class because I did not attend lectures (online). Attend lectures because he gives bonus marks when you answer questions asked in class. Im guessing this class shouldnt be too hard to pass but I really didnt try so take my advice :)

Very nice and passionate about the material. Lectures were a struggle to get through, but he ran discussion groups that were incredibly stimulating. I found the assignments very related to the course and very conducive to learning. The exam was odd but doable. He values participation. Very knowledgeable about global politics, especially Afghanistan
