Reviews of professor Tarek Elsharhawy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
there are no lab instructions. he talks a lot about bronco space(a lot). if you really want to learn about Control System, do not take him, I repeat do not take him. if you don't care about the subject, it is an easy super easy lab.

Dr. Elsharhawy is an amazing professor and really cares about his students. I had him for control systems lab and he is a great lecturer and goes above and beyond especially if you show you are willing to learn and work hard. He can be strict and intimidating at first, but he is really a great person especially if you take the time to talk to him.

no structure to the lab at all. spent many weeks talking about bronco space to recruit more members. gives very little guidance on how to complete lab. claimed we would end lab early but were forced to show up week 15 when we could have finished way earlier. very passive aggressive. shows useful info for matlab at very end of course. worst "A" ever

Tarek does not teach and expects you to learn everything yourself. Your grade revolves around a project which in the end does not matter if it works or not. You will get an A- if you at least have something and an A if it works. He has favorites and can be disrespectful at times but also understanding sometimes. Ride it out, it's an easy A-

Professor Tarek has the potential to be a good professor but he begins to get sidetracked and talks about things not relating to class and he expects you to learn everything yourself. Project is "easy", its easy because you will at minimum get an A- but he will grill you over the smallest things.

No assignments. No exams. Just the final project. It got really hectic, just hope for a good group. He did have a quiz once or twice but they weren't even graded. He'll give you a hard time if your group hasn't made progress/makes excuses.

Tarek is a tough professor that has high expectations for us. He only wants us to succeed but we have to work for it. Lab & lecture are combined and class is dedicated to creating an EFIS within a team. If you get a good team and put in the effort, youll do fine. Put every bit of info into your binder & notebook, he loves to see everything together

Tarek is not professional or respectful, leaves class, and tells students he's on his "layoff list". He teaches stuff you already know. Have someone in your team who knows Arduino. You will either get an A or A-. Gets upset if you "talk back" to him. People love him or despise him, the majority of people who like him are his favorites.
