I think Mughal gets far too much hate, and he really is a nice guy who cares about students. did he show up to class on time? no. did he show up to tests? no. did he make class interesting when he was there? absolutely. And he gave lots of time for people to talk in class, and it was super easy overall. would definitely take again.Econ2315 2026-10-19 01:50:33 +0000 UTC
I learned nothing from this class. He has very strong opinions many of which are justifiable, but instead of using facts to support them he just makes stuff up. When he gets called out for it, he just spews some conspiracy about the media covering up facts. You'll get an A, but at the cost of your sanity. It's best to just sit there and zone out.ECON1292 2026-05-04 14:36:10 +0000 UTC
He was not organized or professional. He showed up to class late, and all exams had errors; he makes MCQs that are unclear (e.g., all four answer choices are wrong, or two choices are equally right). Also all homework is in groups, so everyone receives the same grade even though some people barely do their part.Econ3410 2025-12-23 01:30:12 +0000 UTC
Best prof ever. His lectures can be a little confusing and disorganised but he is very smart and passionate about what hes teaching. THE TESTS ARE SOOO EASY. I dont understand how he has such a bad rating he is just so nice :( He also makes all the exams open note and doesnt even show up for them. I highly recommend you take his class!!econ3290 2025-12-12 21:45:56 +0000 UTC
he was lowkey ragebaiting us the whole semester but the class is an easy A. you won't learn a thing tho lolEcon2315 2026-01-07 23:41:43 +0000 UTC
He really cares about his students succeeding. Sometimes his class could get tedious and wasn't very clear in terms of assignments in the grade book but he's very passionate about the topic and very intelligent. Also just wants his class to do wellEcon2315 2025-12-22 19:50:17 +0000 UTC
he is super hard to understand and he does often ramble about politics and nonsense but either way its an easy grade if you know what you're doingEcon2315 2025-12-11 01:45:18 +0000 UTC
No idea what's going on! You'll probably be saying this if you take him too. Easygoing, understanding and very smart, but he cannot teach. Never knew what he was ever rambling on about, tedious homework assignments and an inconsistent syllabus. Professor's smart and not uptight; but everyday I left class with more questions than answers. What a guyEcon2315 2025-12-08 05:13:04 +0000 UTC
Professor really likes to yap, while often being off topic. Midterms were dumb, he sent emails 20 minutes before that he wouldn't even be in the room for the midterm so i wasted like a week studying for them. Also homework assignments are TERRIBLE, all online on achieve where each little module is SUPER time consuming if done earnestly.Econ2315 2025-12-05 01:16:35 +0000 UTC
This class was low key psychological warfare. He tells us the midterm is closed note, but doesn't even show up for the exam? Studied 20 hrs for NOTHING!! He's so smart but cant teach for shit and talks about random history that isn't even relevant to the course. Half the class was spent laughing to myself like a crazy person asking if we was real.Econ2315 2025-12-03 18:35:03 +0000 UTC
This professor is TERRIBLE. He assigns everything through Achieve, and does nothing on his own. He assigns 40 tedious assignments a week, and he doesn't even grade them (autograded). He assigned a midterm on Memorial Day, and it was only available to take on that day. Do not take his class if you actually want to learn/want an enjoyable class.Econ2315 2025-05-28 17:56:54 +0000 UTC
If you're considering this online class, DONT. Canvas is inaccurate, and the due dates didn't match what was on Achieve, making it confusing to know what assignments were due. It added unnecessary stress, and I spent more time trying to figure things out than focusing on the material.Econ2315 2025-04-29 17:49:35 +0000 UTC
Prof. Mughal is a true academic, simple as that. You are there to learn; he provides that experience. While the actual course content can be hard to digest at times, Prof. Mughal does a fabulous job breaking down complexities. You should ask questions if you're confused. This is the best ECON2315 prof, not even close. Online content hard to followEcon2315 2025-01-16 05:30:27 +0000 UTC
