Comment:

Cultural Anth was easy. Lots of reading as you have 2 books. Grades are 3 test and a project which was easy enough. Test are easy IF you study the chapters. He gives an outline of what you need to study. My only gripe is that the instructions for the project were not as detailed as they should've been. pick 10 ads, TURN THEM IN W/UR PAPER! Easy A

Dr Mobasher is a excellent professor. Took this class online Spring 2018 and did not have any issues. He explains what he wants in the syllabus just follow along and you will do fine. Gives Exam reviews study those and you will make an A. Super helpful if you express you need help with something, very nice. He loves what he does and it shows.

Took this class Spring 2018, actually enjoyed it. You have to keep up, but Dr Mobasher is great and if you reach out for help he will help you any way he can. Very nice and gives good feedback. I also took him for SOC 1303 online and the classes are structured the same. 2 exams, 1 final and 1 major paper.

I took his class in person and I personally prefer in person because he doesn't give PowerPoints, he only lectures and you have to write what he says. You can ask him to repeat. 3 exams, one simple project (you're free to present but you don't have to); he will play vids in class (some of the stuff will be on the exams). Gives more details in class

Took this class online. Each week we had to read and watch videos provided in the syllabus. Gives one project and three exams. Provides reviews for the exams. As long as you read and watch the videos, the exams and project shouldn't be too difficult. Professor is quick to respond and gives helpful answers to your questions.

This was an excellet class. Awesome instructor. Attention: ONLINE classes require good time management skills! If you read the textbook and the resources he posts, you will succeed. Only three exams and one project. Replies emails quickly and gives helpful feedback. Do not wait at the end of the semester to talk to him. Keep in touch as you go

One of the best inspirational teachers that I've taken at UHD. He simply doesn't care about letter grades and will tell you this. Also., lectures are amazing and engaging. That is something that you wouldn't want to miss. He makes you think outside the box and most of all he is very caring. Must take you wont regret!!!!!

Comment:

Dr. Mohsen is a very practical professor. His syllabus is very simple, only gives three exams, gives around four points of extra credit on each exam. Gives out one gender role project super easy and smooth. You have to read the textbook to get an idea of what he will be testing us on, also if you watch the videos the exams will be a breeze.

Prof Mobasher is an amazing professor. He really cares about his students and having them really LEARN, not just get a letter grade. A lot of reading and videos. Exams were challenging, and there are only 3, but what you take from the course is what is truly valuable. He will always reach out and give feedback if you ask. Take in person if possible

Professor Mobasher is an author, and you can see his passion for the study of sociology. He's better to take as a live course, not online.

Great, informative professor. Attend ALL lectures if you want to pass. He really cares that you change your way of thinking instead of only memorizing material for tests. He says if you make an A in class, but still have the same mindset, you really haven't learned anything. No cellphones. Definitely take him!

Mobasher is the best professor I've ever had, hands down. His lectures are amazing, and the subject matter is engaging and enlightening. I plan on taking every class he offers. A few tips: Go to class, put your cell phone away, be on time, and take notes. You'll have three multiple choice tests, and that's it. Extra credit opportunity too.

Comment:

Teaches globalization from a communist perspective. This is great if you plan to work in foreign affairs/intelligence/etc to learn how many in the East think. If you plan to work in corporate America, this class will actually make you less employable. Weekly small writing assignments & quizzes, presentation, midterm/final. Overall a good prof.

His online class requires a lot reading. he only gives 3 tests; questions are taken from assigned articles, text book and supplemental videos. he posts discussion questions to gauge your understanding of concepts. he is very helpful, just be ready to earn your grade - yes, i would take him again.

Professor Mobasher is my favorite professor at UHD so far hands down. He's the first professor to have my complete attention from beginning to the end of class. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and it shows in his lectures. He can get deep, he can be funny, only 3 tests and 1 final. No quizzes. 10/10 Definitely recommend his class.

This teacher is really good, I wished I had taken his class a bit more seriously. I didn't go to class as much as I thought I would. I went to only 3 lectures prior to the test. I was super bad, but anyway I think I would've done better if i took it more seriously. I passed his class though. Seriously go to class, dont take advantage of no attenden

Honestly this man is AMAZING!! I was very judgmental but, that quickly changed while in his class. He'll tell you if you have a close mind please drop my class because we won't get along lol. Only 3 grades including the final, lectures until class ends, and no homework. PAY ATTENTION in his class everything he say's will be on the test. GOOD LUCK
