Comment:
Dr. Ahmed is a caring teacher who is very available outside of class. She will always answer questions or clarify what she says. There are two in class tests that are very easy if you study. The other two test are take home, but you need to read the books to have the answers. She is very generous with extra credit.

Comment:
She is a great professor, super kind and caring. If you take notes during class and read you will definitely do well. She is very particular about what she likes on take home exams so you do need the book and have to read. She is hilarious and is one of the best professors I've had. You do have to try though, but mostly just be present in class.

Comment:
she is so sweet, but beware- she's hard to understand, gets confused easily, and just rattles off the powerpoint in class. the 2 in class tests are easy if you study, but the take home tests are difficult because she is super particular w/ what she wants. her grading criteria is unclear, and requires participation. she assigns useless assignments.

Comment:
The power points don't have all of the information on them and over half my class got a C or failed the take home tests. She is very hard to understand sometimes and she rely's on student's participation. Although she does give extra credit and is a nice professor, I wouldn't take her again. We also had a group project in the class.

Comment:
It is difficult to understand what she is saying due to her heavy accent and her struggle with the english language. Her powerpoints do not have all the information on them. You will never use your textbook, but you might as well skip class to read the other books since you would learn more from the texts that way than from her lectures.

Comment:
Dr. Ahmed had good intentions and is a very nice teacher, often funn,. Her grading of assignments is very unclear and lectures are long and boring. Her accent and repetition only add to the length of the class. Should be an easy A but due to her grading you actually have to work for it. DO NOT need the book at all.

She grades the take home tests we have very harshly. Even specific answers re not good enough, she would prefer all the correct answers as to answering the questions.

Ahmed is not as easy as everyone makes it out to be. Most of our class got a C or below on a take home test.. yes take home test. She asks really ambiguous questions and requires extremely specific answers. Then when you question he about the grade she wont admit shes wrong, even when its clear she is. Other than that its an extremelt boring class

Nice lady. gives you extra credit opportunities. 4 tests, one group project, and participation. 20% for each test and 10% each for the group project and participation. Participation is MANTADORY or else you will lose a ton of points.

I LOVE HER! She is so cute and so funny! She always says in her Bangladesh accent, "I promise! You will only need to know what I say in class for exam. And I give you lecture notes." She is such a cute lady that is so passionate about this class! HIGHLY recommended!!!!

Very nice and funny lady. Although my roommate and I are starting to get bored with the class. It's very interesting in the beginning and then it gets really dry. The class is Social Problems and Social Policies. Group project is easy. You should be fine!

I took her class my FR year, very easy. I took her again the following semester. She is one of the most caring teachers i've ever had. She puts all of her notes on overhead, take them. Go over all of them the night before the test and you will be fine. Say something every once in awhile or she'll take away participation. You can have 5 absenses.
