Comment:

Tesfa is a bit crazy and overexcited, but undeniably smart. He's also at Susquhanna University now. Most of the information learned is in the lectures and his powerpoints, which are posted on blackboard - I wouldn't even spend money on the book unless you're really the kind of person who likes to read.

Comment:

I feel sorry about this prof. He tries very hard but he should know that the culture here very well. Otherwise, his efforts will be like sunked investment. He needs to assimilate himself with the culture and the system here. Hard work alone doesn't bring anything. He should know the prime interest of students in this environment. Frank opinion.

I am sure this comment is written only and only by Ahmad hisself. The reason is clear. He wants to benefit at the misfortune of this good and hardworking instractor, Tesfayohannes.

Comment:

well! I think his TA Ahmaad is knowledgable enough to teach this course. why not Systems' folks hire him as a sessional instructor (and let Tesfayohannes remain where he is at peace - Management Science)

Comment:

Disappointed in poor attendance; consequence: strict marking on the final, and then follows it up by requiring students to file formal appeals to review their final exam mark. Cheers.

Comment:

Creates unfair and assinine marking schemes that allow you to be penalized multiple times for the same mistake... use 17 instead of 18? Thats 6 marks off out of 14. Does he really understand the course material? Had to prove to him something was correct... and he really should have known it was.

We have seen the dedication and concern of this professor. Those of us who are throwing bad words must be unreasonable. As students we have to be considerate and realistic. In my case he did a good job in his teaching.
