Reviews of professor Ahmed Azam

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
DISORGANIZED Taking this class online and the class basically consists of: 4 Projects, 1 Midterm, 1 Final Instructions for ALL the projects are vague and are not helpful your TA is your best bet. Very unclear of what he wants and is no help when you email him. Will make an announcement if there are enough confused students but still no help.

He has an ego. It's his rules or the highway. Communicating with him is difficult and he doesn't answer any questions if you ask him. Projects are vague and when you ask him for details, he gets upset. When you turn it , he's like i wanted x, y, and z,but like you wouldn't tell us until after we turn it in? SO why act surprised??

Professor added to class after two weeks and he worked hard to cover all the required materials. It was a challenge that the MYMISLAB does to work for all assignments, so he used blackboard in order to provide the assignments. Very good professor.

Dr. Azam is passionate about the subject and gives real-life examples in his lectures. The 3 projects are to give real-life examples of how to use databases and 3 exams. The final exam is cumulative but very easy if you pay attention in lectures and read the book. The book and outside resources are good for this class. He will extend deadlines too.

Honestly, class was an easy A. Just read, listen in class, you'll be fine. Projects however, can be a little tricky. He allowed groups for each project so its not that bad. I highly encourage getting into groups for them. The instructions can be vague, but he says they are on purpose to encourage "learning" I would honestly take again.

Nice guy. Very approachable. Test are manageable and multiple choice, just read the basic concepts on the textbook and should be fine. There are 3 group project. Only the first project is tough because he is not always clear on how he want us to submit the project. We ended up submitting the first project twice. Easy Grader.

Hes a great professor! One time, he was misinformed and added to teach the class two Weeks late so he was thrown into cold water. Despite that, he worked hard. I took another class with him, and he was much more organized. He is incredibly smartjust brilliant a generous grader, and kind. Hes also really funny. Id definitely take him again.

Be prepared to take his class. This is a class where he purposefully makes it so that you teach yourself the content and learn. He is not one of those professors that will give you an easy A. Some students say he is responsive and great but he picks and chooses who he does that to. He is also not clear on any expectations or in lectures.
