Comment:

Late responses on emails, random office hours, hard to understand. He seemed overworked and inattentive. Spelling was terrible and requirements were never all there or matched up even within its own document. Books that were provided had major issues with usable informatio, and slides were generic notes with no background. Most questions dismissed.

Comment:

Professor Ali really knew his subject. You had to read the book before class and at least attempt the homework before the class in order to keep up and benefit from the class which is how it should be. Very challenging and I recommend taking the class twice in order to get the maximum benefit. You'd have to be a genius to not have to work hard.

This man is a horrible professor. Not helpful at all, goes back on his word, has little to no communication. Can't even get an email or call back from him. My next step is to reach out to the head of the department

Comment:

Good professor, and passionate about the topic, but does feel pretty heavily railroaded as a course -- there's little on-your-own work until the final project itself. Does at times come off as a bit overpersonal, but he means well. As long as you show up in class, do quizzes online weekly, and ask questions when needed, it's a very easy A.

Comment:

unorganized and very "jokey" to students who are needing help which isn't very productive. Has homework due 10pm the day before class, but when I emailed him for help on homework on a MON (when it's due on a WED, and class isn't even until THUR) he responded "Too late to ask, ask me in class." when the homework will be late and he doesn't take it..

He is very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. He tries his best and cares about his students. He is very understanding and willing to help. So far, he is by far the best instructor I had at Sinclair.

I took HTML & CSS class with him. It was great. He has little bit ascents but clear to understand. you don't need to show up every class because he doesn't care attendance. just submit assignments on time you will be okay. He was available to help during office hours. I was satisfied with him

Comment:

One of the worst professors I have ever taking a class with, very disrespectful and belittling to students. If you don't ask questions he will shame you and the class for not doing so, however if you do ask questions he is very impatient and even more belittling. It is a no win situation.

This is one of the worst professors out there. Very disorganized and very disrespectful and always looks down at students and not attentive. He's always busy checking Facebook on his smartphone. I don't recommend him at all. Definitely one of the worst. I also noticed he always talks about his own political and religious views, which I thought odd.

Comment:

Not very helpful. He pulls his lab assignments from the Microsoft Developer Network tutorials, but offers basically no help with those assignments. I learned everything from the textbook and online. Whenever you ask him for help, either through email or in person, he does not give clear answers.

Don't take him if you can help it. He consistently belittled students that asked him for help, lectured the whole class if anyone was late, and talks over you when you try to ask questions in class. Also, he's hard to understand.

Absolutely would not reccomend him! Very hard to work with. Doesn't really care about his students. He was always like follow the book. There was times I did it right and would not even help when it was wrong. I also have disability services and pretty much did not furfill my accommodations. Gets offended easily. Work was easy, horrible experience!

Attendance, four quizzes, one final project, one final exam (thrown in at the last minute without warning) make up his entire grade. He did not follow a syllabus just kind of made it up as he went along. Was very knowledgeable of C# but was definitely stuck on one minor part (CSS). No homework, which is bad when the class meets once a week.

Comment:

Took both online. HTML syllabus was ok, but CSS was unorganized, had to ask for assignments multiple times - and he was rude when I asked! Finally received syllabus, only 2 projects, a midterm and a final. I'm a hard worker, but unless you are perfect, few assignments makes it easy to fail the class with just one big mistake! Also slow to reply.

I took a java class with Mr. Ali. He is a down to earth person. He would do his best to explain and make you understand the course. It is a little bit hard to understand him if you are not used to hearing accents. He is there to help you understand the course and not force chunks of code to get in your brain. Read the book = easy A.

Comment:

Ali is usually a nice guy but I've seen him get pretty rude and impatient with students who required help. My issue is how he forces you to be in class and deducts points, yet his lectures are always two chapters behind. Most students would be way ahead and we're still on material from two weeks ago? Why do I need to stay if I'm far ahead?
