Reviews of professor Folefac D. Atem

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Joke a class. Honestly UT should be embarresed for having this class be "taught" by Dr. Atem. Undeniably he is smart, but the class is so poorly taught and managed. The TA's do virtually all of the work, or at least all of the work in regards to helping students. Lectures are informative but not applicable to the homework.

Dr. Atem's class was difficult but doable. Often reads off the slides but tries to engage students by using poll everywhere and calling individuals out to answer questions. He tries to help you understand a topic if you are lost. Creating a study group with others in the class and reading the chapters before class would be highly recommended.

Professor Atem is very clear when giving directions. He is not sympathetic to personal issues/ emergencies you may have going on. Your grade on Canvas is not your actual grade the scale is incorrect according to him so you could have a 80 on Canvas and be actually failing the class. I would not recommend taking this class.

Dr. Atec is condescending and apathetic. One week into the COVID-19 pandemic, he sends the entire class a rude email saying he will not grant extensions on our incredibly time consuming homework just because of the pandemic. Many of the online lectures he posts do not correspond with the homework or quizzes, making them hard to complete.
