Comment:

He is a very sweet man, and I am sure he knows a lot about Eco, however, he doesn't do a great job of conveying that to students. He just reads the power points and doesn't really answer questions. He will call you to check up on you if you are sick, but his grading is so unclear, even if you ask him to explain, he ends up confusing himself.

Comment:

I focused more on trying to pay attention than actually pay attention. His lecture is just so boring. Puts me to sleep I cannot stress how much of a chore that class was. Outside of class he is so sweet and pleasant to have a conversation with! I don't get it! His lectures are too serious. I loved talking to him after class but during oh noooo

Comment:

He lectures every single class, 50% on the actual topic, and 50% on his personal life. He assumes everyone is lying. He called me a liar in front of everyone when I had written my test corrections when I forgot I had to type them - multiple people made the same mistake and backed me up. Is offensive, but if you call him out - "it's your fault"

Comment:

Very contradictive; his syllabus doesn't completely match the way he runs the class. He promised about 4 exams, but only had 2. The way he makes his tests make no sense. For every question, there are 2 out of the 4 answers that are the same answer but are worded differently.

Comment:

MBA class: Mehtabdin told class that they could bring notes into test. Then on test day, told class not to use those notes. He stated, "This test is so easy that you won't need notes, so put them away." First, I would have studied differently under those circumstances. Second, the test was NOT easy. Liar. Trust is everything in business.

Comment:

Likes to say that his word is the most important thing to him. Went against it multiple times. Has a lot of trouble coming up with more than one way to explain something which is a struggle given that his explanations are not clear.

I think alot of people misunderstand him. He is a very nice and a helpful professor. Almost all professor from the eastern side are like him...I know! if you participate in class and answer questions he can be ur best friend. He enjoys feedback and wants you to show him that you did ur homework! This is the easiest A grade i have ever gotten.

This guy's a comedian and makes class very fun and entertaining, however you won't learn anything related to economics, only about his personal life.

Comment:

I will admit, Khalid may be a little hard to understand because of his accent, but he is a good teacher. He has over years of knowledge and his lectures do go along with the book. BUT you NEED to READ THE BOOK & POWERPOINT!!! Then you wont have a bad grade and take it out on him. Stop being lazy & do your work & then you'll understand his lectures

worst professor ever, had him as my advisor too. he royally screwed up my college career. his final is 'open book' but nothing on the test is in the book. only talks about his family and his kids and how he's still teaching to make money for them yet he has three mercedes e-classes. one word emails, and his office like like a bomb went off. AVOID!!

Lectures are sometimes hard to follow and the tests are on material that can't always be found in the powerpoint. It is better to take notes on your own from the book to understand the material.

Comment:

Took MBA555 with Khalid. Worst Professor of all time. He is a hypocritical and offensive. He thinks all students cheat and have no integrity while he makes no mistakes and is perfect. He doesn't use the text, tests from materials he has collected for decades,and doesn't prepare you for any exams. He won't respond to you if you email him. AVOID!

You will learn more about his family and how honest he is than economics. You have to study everything in the book, not what he tells you because it will always be different...
