Comment:

continued) Anyways, his accent takes some getting used to. I dreaded going to his labs. They were the low point of my entire week. If you're late to his labs you're sure to hear about it from him. This is the only class I got a C in in all my time at HVCC. Bottom line: don't take his classes or lab sections if you can avoid it. You have been warned

Imam is prety awesome. Most people don't like him, but he's very helpful and can teaching pretty well. Best advice would be to actually do the assignments he gives you, he pulls problems on the test directly from them.

Unpopular but a great teacher. If you are a bright student you will learn a ton with him. People in my class always got offended but it was great to watch him ridicule people for failing his tests.

Comment:

He actually isn't as strict as you'd think. He lets you revise any and all labs and hand things in late sometimes. He's really funny when you get his sense of humor, some funny quotes from him: "you must learn everything all the time!" and of course, calling all of us "great experts" after bad test grades.

Comment:

Personally, I really like this professor. If you are a fairly strong student and show any effort at all than you'll be fine. His accent and teaching style take some getting use to but after that most of the material comes fairly easily. Plus the fact that he is lenient with his grading and drops one test is helpful. Very high drop rate in Chem 120.

Everything the kid below me said is true. BEWARE many hardworking students are probably going to have to take this class over again because, refer to the rating before me.

Comment:

Cant Understand what he is saying and has a rough time sticking to one topic. 95 in honors chem in high school, might get a D+ at the highest in this class. all my other grades are A's and B's, He is just a wicked hard teacher. Be ready for 7 am tests on friday mornings because he makes you come in before class starts.

Comment:

Very hard teacher. Harder than the one I had at a private univeristy. His tests are very hard and he is a miserable person. My class started with about 30 kids and now there is 12 because all of them are failing and had to drop. He has called me "stupid" and laughed at me when I asked questions countless times. Save yourself.

Comment:

He has a cynical sense of humor which is funny most of the time, but sometimes hurtful/intimidating. His tests are difficult. But he IS always willing to answer questions and go over things if you don't understand. He's picky about lab writeups, but you have plenty of time to revise.

The guy's pretty nice if you actually show incentive, like showing up and asking him questions. That, and he's pretty funny when he gets pissed at the projector and stuff. He's amusing, and he knows his stuff..he's just hard to understand.
