Reviews of professor Irfana Muqbil

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is very sweet and it was her first semester as a teacher, however she seemed to believe that she was above teaching such "easy concepts". The course itself is difficult due to the fact that it crams a lot of information into one semester but she doesn't seem to have the concepts understood completely herself. I would take the other chem prof.

Dr. Muqbil is an amazing professor. The class was tough but if you study the notes she provides for you (and the ones you take), you will do just fine when it's time to take the exams. She's always available in her office, so use that to your advantage when confused on a topic.

She comes off kinda aggressive and does not realize it. She'll call out things going on in or out of class and not consider doing so taboo. She tries to encourage class participation but does not encourage failing, and so everyone is scared to answer incase they are wrong. Can't understand a word she says due to her accent and fast talking speed.

Definitely knows what she's talking about, but it's hard to take notes when she rushes through the notes. If you're struggling it'll be easier for you to go and talk to her as she says exams don't finalize your grade, but I do

She is not approachable and wonders why students are scared to ask questions. She embarrasses students in class for not understanding, avoid at all costs.

She is a nice person, but just a horrible teacher. Her exams and quizzes questions are nothing you will never see in class. Her notes and practice problems don't help with quizzes and exams. She yells at her students and DOES NOT curve. She is probably the worst chem teacher at UDM....

Dr. Muqbil is a professor that I would not suggest taking if chemistry is not your strongest subject. She can be impatient and rude with students at times. Her expectations are very high. That is unreasonable considering that everyone does not learn at the same rate. The class average on an exam was below 50% and she blamed the class. YIKES!

Very kind person, I would want to party with her. But as a professor she has no idea what is going on. Given, it is her first year teaching, but makes students feel very stupid. Participation is key for lectures, never get caught behind. I would try to avoid taking her at all costs. Although you most likely won't fail IF you're unlucky to get her.
