Very good professor but you must work hard and review and understand notes. He helped me pass the class the second time I took it. Very sweet and generous man.

Q was a great teacher. He cares about his students and is always putting time in for them. His tests are very hard. I really learned how to efficiently study, however. I learned a lot of valuable life lessons.

Comment:

Q is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He is always willing to help, not only with the material from class, but with anything in life. The class is challenging, but very rewarding, and his passion for what he does makes even learning about cellular division a fun experience.

Comment:

I asked Q why he decided to be a teacher instead of a doctor because he is really smart, and he said "because I love kids & they keep me young & I learn a lot from them". That is Q in a nutshell. He truly cares and does whatever he can to help you succeed- you just have to do your part and take advantage of office hours. Hard class but worth it!

He runs an amazing class, i always looked forward to lecture and lab. there's so much good i could say about Prof. Qasmieh but don't have room. I personally enjoyed that he wrote out his notes and examples, rather then use power point that way we could keep up. Always seemed interested in the material which kept it engaging for me. 10/10

Comment:

This class was really difficult (BIO 110), but as everyone else said, Q really does care about his students like "his own kids" (his words). Makes himself available to his students to help them as much as he can. He is extremely smart and knows bio inside and out. Lab book was never used, textbook rarely used(never in class only on your own time)!

Comment:

This class (Bio 110) was a real punch in the face. It teaches new college students the importance of studying. It was a very difficult class. With that being said, Dr Q. is one of my favorite professors I have ever had. Very helpful if you see him in his office hours, really makes sure people understand, and will be real with you if you need it.

Comment:

It was a hard class but Mr. Q was a great professor. He did everything he could to help students raise their grades. He lectured everyday and tests were often. I would definitely take this professor again. He made jokes and was lighthearted but made sure his expectations were known and made it a point to talk with every student.

Q was one of the best professors Ive ever had. Hes extremely caring and wants everyone in his class to succeed. The class may seem hard, but any BIO 110 class will be. Its a lot of information to be learned, but if you study and try your hardest, youll do great! Q is always willing to help all of his students in anyway he can! Highly suggest!

Professor Q is honestly one of the best professors Ive ever had. If you are attentive and ask questions in class, you will surely end up with a good grade. He is more than fair and wants every single one of his students to pass. He is happy to answer any questions and meet with his students during office hours. Definitely a professor worth taking.

Q is one of the most amazing professors I've had. This class is TOUGH, but Q goes above and beyond to help his students succeed through detailed lectures, review sessions, and a decent amount of extra credit. He genuinely cares about his students and forces us to think beyond what we're memorizing, and focus on why it is important.

Comment:

Qasmieh is easily one of the best STEM professors I have studied with. He encourages you to strive for true understanding and appreciation of the material, not just an A in the class. I took a 5 week summer course with him and it was a challenging course. There is no room for slacking off here. That being said, it is 100% worth it.

Comment:

If you elect to pass up a class with Professor Qasmieh, I feel sorry for you. He is by far one of the greatest professors (if not, the best) that I have had the honor of studying under. He leads by such great example and demonstration of character, challenges you to be your best. Learn as much as you can from him (he knows more than the book)!

You'll have to be fully committed to this class to do well. You definitely can't just breeze through the course. However, Q is an amazing teacher that will be willing to do everything he can to help you succeed if you ask. This class is hard but I loved it every step of the way. I feel like I've gotten more out of this class than any other I've had

Professor Q is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. He really cares about his students and wants them to achieve, really just a great guy all around and an excellent educator. His goal is to educate you, not pass you, so really don't expect to skate through his class without going to lecture and putting in work. Highly recommend.

I've taken Q for BIO110, BIO113, AND BIO114. I have planned my schedule for each semester around his sections. He is a fantastic professor, very fair grader, and really cares for all of his students. His classes are somewhat difficult, but he is by far the best of the best if you want to know your stuff! KNOW YOUR NOTES!!!

Easy to approach and willing to provide extra help if needed. Studying is key, but everything you need to know is in the notes from lecture . (he says the textbook is needed, but I never used it... along with the lab book) No powerpoint, only lecture.

No homework, just studying at home. If you know your notes from lecture, you will excel is any of his classes. Very personable, understanding, friendly and funny. He expects lot of his students, but he is great at being available for any and all help needed. I'm actually sad I have exhausted all of the courses I can take with him. 10/10 recommend
