Reviews of professor Basheer Qolomany

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
There are 2 questions in his quizzes and 4 questions in his exams. 1 question will be a random trick question (worth a huge percentage of your grade) that was not covered in the textbook or in class. And you will get NO partial credit for your answer either. This ensures that ALL students will have a decent probability of failing.

Given that virtualization is a new subject to me, Dr. Qolomany presented the information in a way that was easy to understand and he is highly knowledgeable at the same time. I liked the idea for the final project, the hands-on assignments were interesting.

Horrible professor. This cloud computing class consisted of students doing presentations on AWS services and him only lecturing a handful of times. When he did he just read from the same slide deck passed around in Networking/Fog computing classes. His tests were overly meticulous, and topics were covered a day before the test, from the slides...

Dr. Qolomany has good experience in machine learning and big data analytics area. It was worth taking Big data analytics course with Dr. Qolomany. He covers the most cutting edge topics about big data. I believe the course is very useful for job as well as for research.

Professor Qolomany is very respectful of his students and also very knowledgeable of the topic. He constantly asks if anyone has questions and I believe he genuinely wants his students to understand. He also makes hw assignments very clear.

The quizzes and tests are unpredictable there is no clear description on what will be on the test and the quiz. It is just a title of topic for the study guide. so good luck figuring that out and there is no bonus or curve that will help so don't expect anything . final is tougher than any tests and content might not even covered in class

Dr. Qolomany is very respectful. He answers questions and I like that he gave the people that needed it, a chance to better their midterm scores. He understands that the content is a lot and spaces it out well and tried to make the content clear and simple despite the complexity of the content.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Explanations are convoluted & make no sense. Draws on the board, then draws over it to further explain, but only ends up making a mess. Gives pop quizzes. Teaches only 8 students in front of him, and ignore everyone else. Gives a study guide for the test but it doesn't help. Messing up that test makes it very difficult to pass.

Had this for Cloud Computing. He recycled slides from another professor and made the class do a 2 month, maybe longer, amazon web services sales pitch over all the features and tested us on information not relevant to this class
