Reviews of professor Saif Zahir

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Zahir has been the single most unorganized, disrespectful, and lazy professor I have ever taken a class with. Avoid taking a class with him at all costs. Not worth it in any way.

Worst teacher I've ever encountered at UAA. We never got any grades for the work we submitted during the semester. Embarrassed himself and the rest of the class in front of faculty and the whole College of Engineering. Absolutely awful!

This guy gives no clarification to what he's "teaching" and the only way your really going to pass his class is if you google the topics that he skims by during his lectures. No books assigned so we had to rely completely on his lectures, and then tested on material that was BARELY covered at all. Big lack of communication overall from him.

Doesn't follow syllabus and seems to take pride in the fact that you have to show up to find any useful information from him. Wrote a test and missed printing pages of code for the test questions. No useful feedback on cs assignments. You can have a working program and get 43/50 or 5/10 and only get "Didnt meet requirements ".

Didn't follow syllabus, graded assignments months late, midterm right before the final, would not answer questions in class, would refer us to outside help, canceled office hours last minute, had a power point that was in Chinese, and was very vague in actual lectures (talked a lot but did not say much of anything). Had a super frustrating semester
