Comment:

Mohd is an energetic, inspirational and approachable professor I have had since I have been at TRU. So if you guys are whining and complaining is because you probably do not know your basic stuff. A fast paced course. Read the book, come to class on time, do the work on your own, how is it not possible to do well in his class.

Mohd was very inspirational in my Java class. I learned lots and he pushed me to do well. I am glad I had him as a prof in my Java class. Learned lots of programming concepts. He provided lots of guidance and study aids. Be prepared to work hard though.

Mohd's teaches the fundamental concepts of game design quite well. He emphasizes key points in class. He provides lots of additional material and I enjoy the group work done in class. A great way to reinforce concepts taught in class. Overall a great class and I got to make some simple games using Game Maker.

i enjoyed Mohd's web class very much. Very engaging, hands on, practical, included new HTML5 and CSS3 stuff. Come to class, do the work, complete the assignments, study for his quizzes and tests (he helps you to pass by emphasizing key points just before the test/quiz date), and complete the real small business web site, and you will do well.

Comment:

Mohd's web class was easy to follow and understand. I was new to web technology and his way of delivery and structure of the course was excellent. I enjoyed the format of the class. No exams, purely based on continuous assessment, real client web project and about 5 assignments. For those who are unhappy, is because you guys skip classes.

I had an excellent experience in this class. The text book used was very well tailored and it progress slowly to more difficult topics. Each topic helps you to create a mini web site. The project with a real business was an excellent feature of this course which I learned lots by integrating stuff from the class. Other resources were also used.

Comment:

Mohd seems like a nice person, outside of class. However, during class, I found his lectures to be sub-par at best. All the knowledge I've obtained, during this course, was purely from the textbook. He relies heavily on the textbook and never appears to deviate from it. The power slides are also taken from the textbook; no original work from prof.

Comment:

It was an enjoyable class to study web design with Mohd. I liked the fact it did not have any mid term nor final exam. It is purely based on continuous assessment (quizzes and tests ) spread out evenly throughout the semester. Do your work continuously and you will do well. Very well structured and laid out. Textbook used was a good choice!

I found Mohd's web class very well laid out and structure. Those of you are unhappy it is because you do not pay attention when he is teaching. He uses the book in conjunction with online resources. A great prof and knows his subject matter. Very kind, approachable and always willing to help.

Comment:

Taking his course through distance learning was a breeze because of how supportive he was. The course itself was challenging and although outdated (university takes forever to approve changes to course), Mohd was able to direct me to the right resources to keep my skills up-to-date. Very quick marker and very quick in responding to questions.

Comment:

Mohd's game class was fun and enjoyable. Although, with hardly any programming skills, I did pretty well in his class. The group project was challenging, however, Mohd worked hard to place students that had diversity of skill sets. Be prepared to work very hard in completing the project of the course, which is very heavily weighted.

Comment:

I wasn't very good at programming and I found him kind of condescending when I didn't understand something. All-in-all, he seems to genuinely care whether or not his students learn the material. He has subtle jokes that seemed to go over most people's heads and uses a lot of class time to get people to practice instead of listening to him lecture.

Comment:

Laziest course design I've ever encountered. Mohd barely puts in any works and expects his TA's to mark and supervise class. Didn't learn anything about the development of games despite developing a game being the main project. Tests are a jumble of fake English with no clear meaning. If you want to keep your sanity please skip this teacher.

Comment:

Mohd's does his very best to explain game concepts. You need to work very hard with your team for the game project. Many students start the game project late or the team does not work hard as a team. Mohd's assignments are well organized and structured that helps drive the project. You need to do your work. Don't be fooled it is an easy class.

Mohd was always available when I needed help. Being a one credit course, this class focus was on lab work only. Mohd listens to students feedback. Great professor and had a good experience taking a class with him. Will definitely take another class if the opportunity arises.
