Comment:

If you want to pass with a C take his class. If you want anything higher take another professor or maybe out of luck you can get an A. He doesn't lecture he likes to go on rants. Hes a silly guy but if you want an A or B try to take someone else. His grading style is very random. I think he passes everyone and decides randomly who gets an A or B.

Comment:

Even though i earned an A in the class. I really thought it was just by luck. On the exams, it doesnt matter if you get the right answer but what he looks for are little details on your work. Majority of the class had to use the internet to help solve some problems since he didnt even cover them in class for the exams.

Comment:

So if youre looking to pass, he is the prof. If your looking to learn and get an A, look elsewhere. Though he is funny and entertaining, he does not teach and you have to teach yourself or go to his office. It is very hard to pay attention to him cause he goes off on random tangents. Hes kind of crazy but hes funny

Comment:

He doesn't fail anyone, doesn't use the book, and you don't do anything worth any points till the last week of school. Make sure to take really good notes on everything and be ready for anything in this class: He will test you on things he didn't even cover in class. He is crazy and his class can be really easy, use the internet during tests.

Comment:

Lectures are a waste of time. Sherif picks on students that did well in 361A to present 361B points. He doesn't know how to use Excel (or computers in general) very well. He doesn't follow his syllabus; he doesn't assign homework; he doesn't use the book(/s); he doesn't prepare you for the exams; he doesn't challenge you academically.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. Wastes so much class time acting a stand up comedian. Insults students and told a girl who had a question to "shut up" then "grow up" when she was offended. The entire class lacks structure and direction. He has students teach the class at times. Took us 3 days to review 30 minutes of 361a material. Useless!

This man deserves no repect. Does not know the subject and thinks he is a god. Talks like his is the boss. Thinks he is funny. Definitely worthless to your time, money, and education.

Comment:

Class is easygoing, but test is extremely hard even it's open book, note. Coz up to 80% of the thing he teach u won't be on the exam. Be very careful when u read the test sheet, many small tricks. Class average is less than 50% on the first exam. Learn nothing from this class. Total useless. Good luck.

Comment:

If your having difficulty with stats, take him if you want to pass. Would say 80-90% of people who pass, pass with a C. No homework. One easy midterm paper, 7-10 pgs. Two mid terms. First one easy. 5 question insanely hard final. Review problems and study guide had nothing to do with problems on final. You will laugh in class but not learn anything

Comment:

Would not recommend Sherif for ISDS361B. Was passable, but with lot of effort and studying. However, if you have any questions on any type of problem, he'll try his best to have other students help you, or even call on you to do it in front of everyone to do it on the board. Some of the test review ?'s did not have anything to do with the test

Comment:

now, this guy is a mystery, my experience with him is, he is a good man, who has just been done dirty in life or something, so he does have biases, and as a professor, you cannot take him serious, because he cannot teach period.

Comment:

Utterly useless teacher. Smart? Yes. Funny? Definitely. A good professor? Absolutely not. Will you pass? For sure! Most likely with a C though. Take him if you're having difficulty with this subject, as it is quite difficult with another professor.

Comment:

This is the first review Ive ever written because Sherif is that good. I had no idea what was ever going on in the class, just sat in the back on facebook, and managed 100% in the class. The tests are open note/book w questions verbatim from the notes. Just show up and write down what he puts on the board and its an easy A.

Comment:

Awesome Teacher! He makes the whole class laugh during class meetings. He has a great attitude and even if you sit in the front it's okay he wants you to understand. If you have a question or problem he will listen and try to help out. He has the best jokes that will honestly crack you up in class. Do the homework for points and the paper, not hard

Comment:

He is definitely changing.He is trying to make it a fair game and not just pass everybody. The HW is extra credit which helps boost your grade. In the semester you can earn 13pts which can easily boost a grade.Questions are pretty much out of the picture because he will tell you to ask other students for help.

He is an excellent professor,be prepared before the class he asks everyone if they understand its great if you dont he will ask u to come to the front of the class to learn the material. He will fail you if you dont pass his exams, you need to study for them, if you understand the material in class you will do great on the exam.

Comment:

He is the only passable isds teacher for "B". U don't have to do much in the class and Yes you won't really learn much from this class so no stress :) (be happy for that) although his exams are hard and you won't have a clue unless you are an "A+++" student. Overall he's worth taking for passing grade of a "C".
