Simply "The Best!" I have ever seen in NOVA. Hard-working, clear lectures, amazing fun classes. Must attend his classes to get a good grade. Lots of homework with feedback (solutions in class) lot of Class activity in each class to know who is attending the classes (be-aware) It is certain you will learn... if you attend the classes.

Comment:

the class isn't hard at all. just a bunch of fun projects. mid-term and final exam are multiple choice. he tends to repeat himself a lot during lectures and sometimes he gets distracted showing the class how to do something online that has nothing to do with what he is talking about. he cares that everyone in the class passes and learns something

Comment:

He is a very intelligent and understanding professor. Sometimes the way he speaks can be misinterpreted, but he never has any negative intentions. If you talk to him reasonably he will help you until you figure it out. As for his class, very easy if you attend, just dont try to lie to him and he will help you as much as he can. I got a B, didnt try

He is a good professor who makes you work hard and get the grade you deserve but many students complain that hes is very hard he talk about his life but the truth is the students complaining are those who dont attend class regularly. You should come to class otherwise whats the purpose of learning. Besides that he have projects,1mid,2final.

Professor Ali, is one of the generous teacher in Nova in the field of IT. He teaching style is Perfect, he wants you to know more about the topic and apply it to real word experience instead of testing you heavy materials. I had taken several classes with him and with other instructors but his teaching method made me to love the IT and programming.

The class was not hard. It was very Adobe heavy. The professor tends to repeat himself multiple times and shows example over and over again. As long as you go to class you should pass.

Very accessible outside class. Makes himself available if you show your work to him and ask for more help. Please do not take courses with him if you want to skip classes and at the end ask for grade. He feels so responsible and wants you to take responsibility for your actions. Lectures are easy to understand. This is his talent to make thing easy

Amazing lectures. Very understanding. Wants to help everyone. Delays quiz if not all students present. Avoid him if you are looking for easy grade. Attend his lectures... you will not be sorry. Very caring and responsible for every grade he gives to students. Always ask questions to make the class better and better. Reviews questions on exams.

He is a great teacher and helful. The projects are quiet challenging. You need to be focused in class and can't miss a class. He lets you choose how many question you wanna answer on your midterm and final which is great.

Great person and professor. He will help you in your education if you need help. He stays after each class to help those who need his help. Admirably wants his students to learn. He is always reachable. Send him an email if you need help and he replies fast offering help. Attending classes are a must. Do not bring silly excuses just attend class.

Very clear lectures. Respected by students and knows the material very well. I asked students and almost everyone recommend Deep understanding of code (C++ and Java). I like to take more programming courses with him. I don't understand why a student is allowed to put awful comment about a very hard working instructor multiple times within a week.

The thing that I did not like about him was he talked about one thing and then the exams are totally different. He also make you to give him a review on the course evaluation in the class infront of him so you wont be able to make any negative comments. I dont recommend him.

Comment:

Former assistant dean and very passionate man who cares about the future of technology and genuinely wants his students to learn. He will go over everything step by step to ensure you pass. COME TO CLASS OR YOU WILL FAIL. The teaching was slow paced for me but I was a fast learner, so I can't speak for everyone. Be his friend, he is well respected.
