Reviews of professor Ibrahim Abdellah

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The absolute most boring and average class of my life, I can't even pretend otherwise. It was fine. I did fine. Everything was just fine. I don't feel like I got anything out of this class at all. He's a fine guy. I don't have much to say otherwise. oh. DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK.

He understands the subject can be very dry. Uses concise and easy to understand  language when elaborating on topics. Our final group project was vaguely explained but he's very responsive with emails. Course isn't an easy A so you'll have to put in the work, as he can be a tough grader at times. Two tests, small assignments, and group project.

I've never had a prof better at explaining things. He not only acknowledges that the material can be dry, but very quickly and methodically explains concepts to end class quicker. Generous grader. His personality can be a bit distant when talking one on one, but don't let that discourage you from taking his class.

Professor Abdellah is a good teacher respected by many. Knows his stuff. Not too difficult and not too easy. Fair. Put the effort and you will pass.

Ibrahim was an amazing prof. His material and presentation was engaging and he would ask his class ideas and discussions. 20% of marks were based on participation exercise and then there were 3 tests which were mcq and easy if you attended classes and did some study.

Ibrahim is a good professor and will listen to you when you have a question. his teacher assistant sheila is the opposite. very rude to students and never helpful. If I ever need to take Ibrahim again I will make sure she is not the TA.

This was one of my worst classes taken at SMU and I'm in my 4th year. He does not give clear instructions for what he wants in his assignments. Literally gave us a small paragraph that explained nothing for our group term paper. Will then blame students for not showing up to class even though you did. Just doesn't care at all. Avoid at all costs!!

A very good class. 3 tests, 2 papers, and a final exam. Show up for class, engage, and you will do well. Take his class, you wont regret it.

Excellent and highly recommended. Expects a lot but is fair and generous when grading! Gives a lot of bonus points

His lectures were very interesting, and there were no surprises on the tests. Feedback on assignments was great as well. Would definitely recommend taking his class.

He was very knowledgeable and interested in the subject, he was very clear and concise about the material and encouraged discussion and questions. However, he very clearly has no interest in students - he was rude and condescending in individual or group discussions outside of class, despite encouraging students to seek individual help.
