Reviews of professor Akram Jaffar

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
a lot of work , you are not able to find answers from his lecture , you have to read textbook to find answers , you probably need to spend 20 hours to read the whole text . no respect to students at all . HORRIBLE TEACHER

Not a very personable guy but provides accommodations when needed.

Great lectures, interesting content, and he seems to enjoy teaching it. The assignments and exams are fair and reasonable as long as you do the work. While the exams are online, you do need to know your stuff, because a lot of the questions are application or are timed (exams) in ways that it's better to know rather than depend on looking it up.

You will learn nothing from him. All he does is to read his own powerpoint without any explanations so google is your best teacher !

Hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. He is enthusiastic during lectures, has very catching slides and helpful materials to study with, supplies tons of resources so students can be prepared for exams and assignments, and overall seemed very fair and respectable. I would have this professor teach me for every class if I could.

easily reached, very thorough. this is a heavy class in itself. has good humour. You need to buy a new book for the codes so dont waste money on a second hand one.

use a picture with resolution of 100 * 100  and ask you to identify a structure . What a joke !!!!

Too many errors in his lectures , For example : he says the white mattering in CS/PNS includes unmyelinated axons and myelinated axons and then he says totally different thing on next page  Please be responsible for your lecture and your students  and please STOP  posting your lecture on YouTube so that you can promote your own business !!!!!

Dr. Jaffar has all his lectures pre recorded online so you never have to attend class. There was weekly homework but it was quite easy to complete. Exams are online and open book but you have to have a good understanding of the material to do well. He gives many opportunities for bonus points as well

I took it online so it was easy to manage my time and add the lectures and assignments in where they fit, I recommend the online version for this reason. Dr. Jaffar gave great lectures that explained everything clearly. Clear grading, textbook is mandatory for the content code, and you can't buy used since it's a fresh code, great course!

Took this class completely online as an elective, probably the easiest class I had all term. Weekly graded homework, usually have about 20-40 questions per set, and 3 major exams (one before Canadian Thanksgiving, one before reading week, and the final exam). You teach yourself the content mostly. Would help to have a background in biology/chem.
