Comment:

Pay attention! If he sees that you aren't putting in the effort he won't show you mercy. Other than that if you show respect he will reciprocate it. When reviewing labs he lets the class know what's important for the exam so everything is pretty much clear. He does a final review a class before each exam so you know what to study for. Go to lab!

Great Professor! He uses many anologies that help you understand the material. Took bio the first time with another professor and had a D. I have an A with Dr. Alam. He's funny and gives a lot of review material on blackboard.

Harsh to students, and doesn't explain clearly. Skips through important material. However, he does give a lot of extra credits.

Comment:

Not helpful. I've experienced unnecessary insults already. He makes learning hard especially with the aggressiveness in his tone. His accent is very difficult to understand and he gets frustrated when asked to repeat. I would strongly advise taking any other professor. YouTube is teaching me more than he is.

Comment:

Dr. Alam teaches right from the powerpoint slides, which is great if you hate reading texts like me. He is very kind and funny and gives great lectures with lots of real-world, relatable examples. If you take his lecture, take his lab too. His tests aren't super easy, sometimes they're a bit tricky. Good Prof. overall.

Professor Alain is good for some people but detest some people without any reason maybe his spirit don't like certain people. He kind of ignore you if he does not like you. if he change this behavior, he will be a good professor.

I like him, he's gives a LOT of extra credit points. If you don't get an A, then you didn't try lol. Read the slides and questions, you won't need the book. JUST READ!

Comment:

Only take if you know a lot of Bio already. He has a 50% pass rate, and tells you so. If you're good at teaching yourself, you may be fine, but he doesn't "teach", he preaches... by mumbling. Can't understand most of what he says. He does, however, know his stuff, just needs a lesson or two in how to properly teach. And one in basic english.

Comment:

I wish there was another professor teaching this course.I heard he is pretty good in BI107 but he really has hard time explaining Genetics. However, he really wants his students to get good grade so give them a lot of opportunities (homework and projects). Participation in classes were 40% helpful for me :(

This is the BEST professor I have ever had; very nice, knows his material, very organized, very humble yet intelligent, very patient, holds lab review sessions which are excellent, gives so much extra credit on exams, easy tests,do I need to go on?????? You don't even need to buy the book, his power points are where all the test questions come from

Comment:

I got an F the first time I took this class, I retook it with Alam and got an A. This man doesn't stop teaching until you understand. He gives so much extra credit it feels wrong. He cares so much about the students performance and wants everyone to pass. He holds review sessions for each lecture. No one dropped the class all semester. Great man!!!

He does not have any respect to students, especially when you need help. I'm sure you sill be struggling if you have not taking Bio class before. Most students in my class are failing because of their Test grades. WAY TOO HARD!!!!
