Reviews of professor Samir Mushrif

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Samir is a very well-spoken, respected, and critical professor. He gives good, sometimes harsh feedback. This course was not particularly hard basically if you show up you pass. Some people got their friends to sign up on the attendance sheet so attendance wasn't necessarily mandatory. Overall, solid course.

I have Samir for both 316 and 345. He's really smart and he's a great instructor. He explains things really well and is genuinely interested in the stuff he teaches. However, Samir is very harsh and rude at times. He's helpful during office hours, but not without being demeaning. Very long and tough assignments. Tests have low averages.

have him for CH E 316 and 345, basically, if you have him for these classes goodluck. Assignments for both classes are too long and dont correlate to the exam. Provides no solutions for practice exams or questions, in his words " I'd rather see you guys bang your head against a table then provide solutions." Midterm avg are super low, under 50%.

Will post all the material online, so all the resources for the classes are online. His exams are awful and hard, midterms were about 50% average, and finals are just as difficult. You will have a lot of assignments plus a simulation assignment, make sure you know how to use Symmetry for CHE 316. Way too much work for both classes.

He is good when explaining concepts in class. However, he is VERY rude (degrades you) when you ask questions whether it's in class or outside of class. He shows frustration when you answer something wrong. Assignments were very hard and there is a simulation assignment (10%). Exams were also very hard and average is around 35-40%. Don't choose him!

Very unfair, unapproachable, unreasonable grading for exams, does not care about his students well being. would strongly advise not taking his class.

Samir is an incredibly educated lecturer who can easily answer any questions but this is where all the positive remarks end. He assigns absurd amounts of hw that rarely relates to his tests (4 assignments during reading week for his classes). He is proud of his incredibly low test averages and has screamed at his students at office hours. Dont take
