Reviews of professor Ahmed Elshaer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Ahmed made us feel at ease with a new learning situation. I found him encouraging during the lecture for everyone to participate and helpful when needed. He also was very skillful when used zoom and sharing screen and so on. Therefore he delivered the material in a very comprehensive manner.

He's a good teacher with good intentions. You can tell he puts a lot of effort into preparing his lectures, and always sticks around after class (usually bombarded by students with questions lol). Probably the best lecturer in civil.

Not much to say other than he is the best professor in the civil department.  He teaches well, grades fair, and is available to students if you have questions.

I loved how Dr. Elshaer responded quickly to emails, even in the late evening, just before the exam. I also liked that he brought a model of an I-beam and explains concepts on it during the lecture. this helped me picture how things look like in real life. I loved his energy, and I am definitely taking his wind engineering course next fall.

I loved the in depth discussions about the material is very helpful instead of just reading the slides to us. and also the in depth examples that show us step by step how to solve the problem.

Dr. Elshaer is a very tricky professor. Even though I received a well deserved & high midterm grade I can assure you that he is not a good professor. He makes questions difficult and lengthy. He blames the TA's for a lot of his mistakes in his notes. He lies & is dishonest. He also took 5 weeks to release our midterm grades. Day before drop date.

If you need to know what is meant to be a great professor, see Dr. Elshaer. He simply prepares you for everything. He focuses on your understanding, gives you many examples, lecture notes are accessible and well-written, simply everything is more than perfect. Even during COVID this amazing professor makes you feel that you are sitting in a lecture

If you put the time into the class, attend all lectures, and work hard, this will be an easy class. He clearly explains the topics and provides bonus questions to help you show your learning. His exams are fair and as long as you can do the assignments and the lecture notes examples, the exams will be a breeze.

I have just got my midterm of ECIV3435, and I was so excited to get an amazing grade. It is really great when the professor is able to assess the understanding of students rather than "how they substitute in equations". Thanks, Dr. Elshaer.
