Reviews of professor Malek Shami

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I wish I had him for all my courses. Hes a young professor and I feel thats why he understood more what its like being in college and learning about a boring subject, So he found ways to make it fun and easy. The homeworks were like study guides, do them and you definitely pass EVERY EXAM, he gives the answers to homework after the due date .

This professor is very mixed in my opinion. He is at times a very understanding guy, then at other times he does not care whether you are here or not. Field camp let me tell you was like boot camp, pretty brutal. The at home portion is a ton of work. Great experience but alot of work. Overall very stuff but mixed. I can see why he is good.

Fair grader, very understanding and approachable. In-person consists of about two weeks worth of camping and lectures/labs before and after the field portion. Graded based on field book, final report, field maps, and other deliverables.

Hes a very good professor and is very knowledgeable in what he teaches. Gives many chances for you to get your assignments done. Although you have to take tests, he cares more if you try than to give up. 10/10 professor

One of the best professors. Hes not out to make you fail and he tries his best to make you understand the material if you have any problems. Just show up and do your best and you should do good in his class

This course requires a lot of traversing and knowledge on geology. This class provides you with information that you will not see by just sitting in a class. Also, prof Shami is the best geology professor for this course and probably for other courses as well. Do everything he says, work hard and you will pass

One of the most enjoyable classes ive taken. He is extremely helpful and accommodating. Pushes you to think critically, especially in the field. There are challenges l but this class is not brutal or overly difficult in any way, especially if you enjoy the outdoors. Overall I would recommend him and this class to anyone who is interested.
