Reviews of professor Ali Baroon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Provides an accurate study guide to the material that needs to be learned which relates to the weekly exams. If you study and your knowledgeable of the entire study guide PRIOR to class you'll do great. The lecture should act as a review session and not learn all of the content as new information. This goes for all GE courses at WCU.

UGH. Where to start. Attitude was condescending. Made students feel stupid for asking questions. Was unclear & indirect in his lectures and directions. I could not stand him for many reasons & I know most of my class felt the same way. No idea why he has such great ratings. I have had all A's in nursing school & he is the ONLY class I got a B in.

Dr. Baroon is the best professor I have ever had. He truly cares about this students and wants them to be better and learn. I wish we got more of him compared to the other professors, Song is great as well. But Nakshandi is dull is making the lectures unbearable. I miss his lectures and they are so interactive and amazing. WCU did something right.

I really enjoyed Dr. Baroons class and his way of conceptual learning. Pathophysiology is not easy. You have to put in the work for this class, regardless! Highly recommend taking patho on campus vs. online. Definitely watch his video lectures, read his weekly notes and study his power points. You will succeed in his class if you put in the work!

You basically teach yourself in this class. His lecture videos were pointless & he goes off topic into detailed info we don't even need to know. I just studied the textbook, slides, quizzes and flashcards only. He is pointless, did not help and would not rec. I've had soooo much better profs in community college that actually helped me learn.

You have to marry this class, if you want to pass. Lectures alone would not help you, get ready to be a book worm. I underestimated this class from the get go, but he's a very tough grader, Even for the peer responses. I think even the clinicals will be easier than his class. Also, at times, it's hard to understand his accent. Not his fault though.

I love Professor Baroon's personality as he is comedic and funny during lecture; though, I can understand why some individuals may not like him. Refer to BOTH his study guides (prioritize red highlighted topics) and online Quizlets.

Specifically the final is much harder than any of the quizzes and midterm.

Lectured on irrelevant topics. We were tested much harder than expected and almost everything he taught in lecture was not applicable.

Prof. Baroon is a nice man and you will definitely learn a lot in his class. However, there are so many assignments to do weekly leaving very little time to watch his 4-5hrs of recorded lectures especially if you work. I also do not understand how a 40 question 'quiz' every week is not considered a test. Quizzes irrelevant to lecture.
