Comment:

Prof. Bashir is very passionate about Sociology. He may go off on a tangent but he means well. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Reading the chapters is a must, he likes to discuss the material as a class. Tests and quizzes are easy, outlines and study guides provided. Lowest quiz dropped. 1 quiz is extra credit. 1 movie essay.

Comment:

Bachir is a very passionate about sociology. He may go off on tangents, but he genuinely cares. Participate in class and it will go by a lot faster and you will retain the information. Took during intersession, 2 exams plus the final. 6 quizzes, lowest one dropped. One writing assignment, but he even lets you look at examples of A papers.

Comment:

Never again. He gives his students ZERO access to see canvas for grades, due or upcoming assignments. The entire class time he is talking and drifting so off topic that I eventually become lost causing me to leave early. He is a nice guy but his teaching methods are outdated and boring. To be completely honest, I learned nothing in this class.

Comment:

This class was the hardest thing ever, The professor didn't teach well, he kept dragging on the lectures, didn't know how to explain properly, It appeared like he didn't prepare for his lectures, didn't give time to discuss because he would talk the whole time, didn't give enough time for test. overall didn't learn anything wouldn't take this class

Comment:

Very easy class. Gives a study guide for everything. Study guides are exactly like the test plus some of the lecture. He's very forgetful and gets carried away off topic but this class is an easy A. One movie essay that was really easy. 3 test and 7 quizzes. Participation kinda matters but he's a really nice person and very passionate.

He was always behind on assignments that were in the syllabus, didn't give enough time for quizzes and tests, and didn't give the class a lot of chances to speak

Comment:

Mr Idoui is a great professor, however he does lack time management skills. His applications of sociology are very relative and help to retain the information. He is a well of knowledge, but often takes up too much time recapping previous material. Read the book, show up and participate and you'll get an A. Don't take his "stories" for granted!

Comment:

This professor is intelligent re. his field, but doesn't understand how to lecture or teach, for that matter. He drags on and on and bores students, has no control of his class, and goes off on unintelligible and irrelevant tangents. I almost feel guilty rating him so lowly, then I remember that I have to go to his class again and I don't feel bad.

Comment:

Professor Idoui is a nice guy with knowledge of Sociology. His lectures can seem disorganized but if you show up and complete the readings, you should get an A... Or will you? Keep your tests, quizzes, and papers because mistakes have been made. One student received the wrong quiz grade, and I unfortunately was given an incorrect final grade.

Comment:

Mr. Idoui is an intelligent professor who unfortunately does not teach a class well. While he knows sociology, he does not know how to explain the subjects to the students clearly. There is little to no homework aside from reading and an essay. This is the class you can read the book at home and play gameboy in class and still get an A+

It's really easy. Read the chapter ahead of time, answer questions in class, get an A. Too lazy to read ahead in college? Drop out and work for your dad. You're not ready.

Difficult to understand due to accent, but if you pay attention, you will be fine. Only homework was a paper. Go to class, study the chapter outlines and study guides and you will do well. A few quizzes and lowest score dropped. Final not cumulative. Participate in lecture with questions and comments; he likes lecturing in a conversation form
