Reviews of professor Abdul Salam

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He knows his stuff at times, but goes on rants that are more related to his research than the topics of the class itself. My main gripe is that he is monotone, fast-talking, and mumbles a lot, so sit close to the front if you can. I wish that the lectures were recorded so I could go back and play it both at full volume and at a slower speed.

Great teacher who knows what he's talking about before hand and teaches it well. Helpful when asked questions and does a good job of making a hard class easier.

Both Deadman and Salam lectured for the course this semester. There is a night and day difference between the two lecture styles. Salam is clearly very knowledgeable on the content being presented, but often rushes though complicated topics and lacks proper presentation skills for lecture. Deadman is also knowledgeable but can speak well too.

I've had Prof. Salam for another class, and I didn't care for his teaching during that one, but there has been an improvement! This can be a difficult class, but as long as you do the lab work and pay attention in class, you'll be fine. There have been a few pop quizzes. He talks quite fast, also has good office hours.
