Reviews of professor Irfan Malik

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Irfan Malik is a good Instructor for the course CS113 using C++, with a real Industrial experience, which is a rare among Instructors at community colleges. Always encourages students towards computer science and engineering career. A fair grader and pro student Professor. A gentleman!

Sloppy lectures. Expects students to know concepts that they haven't learned yet and criticizes them if they don't. Also wants students to speak up if they don't understand the material but then shames them for not understanding. Do not take his class unless you have a solid understanding of computer science.

Gives only 5 assignments, 5 quizzes & 1 final and suuper unfair grading. He teaches 1 class per semester because of his job so he's pretty busy when it comes to office hours & reading emails. Calls you out for not knowing what to do during lectures & lectures are confusing. Recommend take another prof & you'll save your grade. Tldr; AVOID HIM!

Prof Malik feels easy-going, but he makes college life a little difficult. If you have some good CS experience, them you can get very comfortable with Malik in future semesters.

He's a pretty nice professor and can really help you understand things only if you want to.

I have an A in all CS courses. Professor Malik was one of the more difficult professors. The quizzes usually have mistakes in them and he is hard to communicate with. Only take it if you have prior CS experience. I never read CS textbooks but I had to for professor malik. I've been programming for 5 years. Make sure to handle grading mistakes QUICK

If I had to put it simply: Take another professor if possible. Professor Malik isn't the worst professor ever, but I'm sure there are many better than him. A majority of this class is a learn it yourself class. Professor Malik barely goes over things before expecting you to do them yourself. I felt like the class was noticeably disorganized as well

If you think about taking his class, please forget it. I can't believe myself can handle this class. Very, very difficult class with the most difficult professor at Ohlone.

Professor Malik is a great professor. His course is structured as such: classwork assignments, some homework, and open-note and internet quizzes which make them a lot easier than they would be closed book. He's also very accommodating to student needs and is very flexible. Lectures are occasionally hard to follow.

RED FLAGS: 2.4 on rate my prof rn
Avoid at all costs

You will need to know a lot already before you take this class. He will call out students for not knowing things. 
Medium amount of homework.
Attendance isn't mandatory but good luck actually knowing what he wants from you.
IF you have to take him; take CS-102, CS-118 before
