Comment:

This man is not only ignorant, but also arrogant and obstinate even when presented with clear evidence that he is wrong. You will have to get used to this because he is wrong quite frequently as he's lazy and doesn't keep up with trends. He likes to quibble about semantics and is absurdly petty when it comes to grading. Avoid if possible.

Comment:

This is the worse teacher I've ever had. You're better off just reading the book because all he does is "teach" straight off the material without any effort on his part to make it understandable. The only thing I learned was to never take a class with him again and how NOT to teach a class.

Comment:

If you you want a teacher who won't teach you anything and just sit there explaining the homework. I would warn you he likes to change his mind about homework or will assign something on the document but won't assign that its due. Its a whole lot of work but as long as you follow his guidlines you get a good grade.

Get another teacher, go to a different campus... JUST DON"T TAKE THIS GUY!!! Worst teacher I've had in my 8 years of going to college. Easy to get a good grade, but you don't learn anything from him! BEWARE!

Comment:

Worst teacher I have ever had. Does not respond to emails ever, constantly ignores questions, and assigns ridiculous assignments that do not teach anything. It is impossible not to get at least a B in his class if you do the work at all, but he is absolutely useless as a teacher.

Comment:

LOL, at everyone who says he's a good teacher because its hard to fail his class. Yes you will get a B if you take his class but you will learn nothing. His examples are terrible. I do not doubt his knowledge but he is terrible a relaying it in class. He teaches straight from the book and doesn't give many labs. He is very forgetful about grades.

Horrible Horrible Horrible teacher. I am scared that I may actually have to take him again, although If I have to go to a different DeVry location to avoid him, you bet your ass I'll try. On one occasion a test had an answer that was "Booting" and I put down "Boot" and he considered it wrong and WOULD NOT change it. do NOT take this man's class.

Comment:

Hard to understand, lectured completely from powerpoints. Misunderstands questions and answers them wrong. Tests and quizzes are word for word from the book, but the blank is a word that has no relevance to point of the sentence (like a conjunction). What you learn you could learn on your own from reading the book. Will avoid in the future.

Knows what he's talking about but cant relay it well. His tests are hard and sometimes ambiguous, but has an ugly curve. You have to really try to fail, but also really try for an A

Comment:

Taher knows his stuff but he is hard to understand the first few weeks especially, and so is his writing. His class was fairly easy, and since there was a load of info in the 8-Week course he gave us lots of breaks. NEW STUDENT ADVICE: Don't buy the Cisco CCNA 1 book, buy the CCNA 1&2 book that has 2 courses together. You'll save 2x the money!

Comment:

Second time reviewing him. Same as last, you should get at least a B or above with him, especially in Netw 230. Quizzes can be tough but is the easiest grader I've come across. Unless you're a complete moron there is no way you can get below a C on anything he gives out. Boring at times but extremely helpful one on one.

Comment:

If you don't pass his class you're a moron. He is such an easy grader and seems to give you points out of thin air. Most of his quizzes were open book or notes. He gives you a good amount of work but again, such an easy grader. His lectures are pretty boring with his slide show but he'll go out of his way to help you one on one.

Can't read his writing, annoyed if you ask too many questions and impossible to understand. Awful experience.
