Reviews of professor Karim Elish

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he has an accent, that can be a little bit hard to understand, but overall, his class really isn't that hard

He wasn't bad, but not anything special, either. The material came easily to me, so I can't judge well, but I mostly learned by doing the examples in class rather than anything he said. I had to look up some concepts in the book and online when I had trouble, because he didn't always explain how to use stuff outside of the examples' context.

I understand that not everyone will always love their job and how an instructor conveys and views the subject matter can be infectious. The students often come to view and react to it in the same manner. The instructor leaves the class early and there is hardly any effort to hear students.

Dr. Elish will get the material across, but is light on non-academic examples and gives limited feedback on the term project. The term project is reduced for the summer semester to a prototype, but lots of technical writing and chart making required. I felt that the course was mostly busywork.

The way he does lectures makes everything simple to understand in a course that could have been much more complex. Willing to help students with their project, and if you do the group activities he will give good feedback on your work if you ask for it
