Reviews of professor Muhammad Jawad

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Genuinely cares about teaching. He takes time to make sure people understand (even tho people dont say much during zoom lectures), and asks multiple times if anyone is having trouble understanding. His essay questions are pretty tough. He curves the final grade tho and HW is a big % of grade. Tough class but doable, and gives a good C++ foundation

Every CIS class is very laid back, you mostly just talk about excel and learn about fun things. Not professor Jawad. You have pop quizzes almost every class, homework every class, sam projects, sons projects, 3 exams, 2 group projects, etc. lets talk about the exam.. the final review sheet was 3 pages long cumulative, access part, excel part, essay

You need to do in-class quizzes and homework every class through connect, plus Sam projects across the course, plus business plugins, plus group project, plus in-class projects, plus SONA credits. Believe me, it's too much. 2 midterms and one cumulative final. if you have the time and energy go for it. He explains well but for me is too much.

The class is simple enough, Connect HW, 2 midterms and a final, and overall the material is pretty straightforward. However when it comes to Microsoft Excel and Access he does not help out, he just repeats the instructions back at you and gives you no feedback. Assigns Excel and Access projects that weren't covered in class.

He's alright. He definitely passionate about this subject and cares for his students He puts essay questions on the test but they are pretty simple. He uses connect to assign homework. Class is made up of two midterms, two group projects and a final. He seems to be pretty new at teaching but still a decent professor.

Professor Jawad is extremely knowledgeable about C++ and does a great job teaching students about fundamental concepts. The course is hard, but that's just what coding is - you have to be challenged to learn. He made class interesting and fun, and his enthusiasm for C++ really displayed during these tough times in a virtual setting.

Honestly, he is an okay teacher but his exams are just so "extra". Take my advice and just choose another professor. If your the type that likes challenges then by all means take him
