Reviews of professor Shameer Douglas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Based on the other reviews, it seems Prof Douglas should be avoided. However, I am here to provide a different story. I am currently enrolled in CMIT 202 and we just finished week 7. Prof Douglas is a tough grader, but it is for good reason. He wants his students to grow; not to do the bare minimum and get an A. That is something I appreciate.

Condescending tone when providing classroom guidance. Grading was always a week or two behind. Very picky about discussions. too much material for a 8 week class.

Absolutely ridiculous requirements for projects and prescribes more reading than three courses combined just to stay at class-par. Completely avoid if possible and count your blessings if you can.

I wasn't aware it was actually possible to have a professor as unprofessional and unclear as Shameer. Stresses in all caps the importance of a Syllabus, then completely disregards it for all assignments. Has a guide for late work, doesn't accept late work. Says discussions req 1 Initial answer and 2 student responses. Email says 2 & 2. Avoid!

The labs take time but are not hard. Follow the steps and you're good. There is very little direction on requirements. Weekly lab submissions are a coin toss if you did it right or not. Expect very little interaction from Douglas. Assignments graded up to two weeks late. If you have questions, get used to the answer, "Read the syllabus."
