Please avoid this professor, she doesn't know how to teach and is quite sadistic. All her lectures are taught in a single monotonous tone. During the group project presentation, she made sure to criticise and put people on the spot even if they did fairly well. The exams also are only around an hour and each question has a lot of sub questions.IE6200 2025-12-17 23:41:06 +0000 UTC
Prof Ali does a fair job, but speaks in monotone. It can be hard to pay attention in class so make sure to follow through her slides at the same time because they're fairly detailed. She provides at least one free online textbook for Arena that was pretty useful. Didn't mind the class but didn't retain much afterwards either.IE4510 2023-11-09 04:19:55 +0000 UTC
Prof. Ali is quite disrespectful to students. Will outright ignore questions and provides unclear feedback. Spent almost 10 minutes shaming a group presentation, way beyond normal criticism. Treats graduate students like children, and has boring lectures. I'm fairly sure she doesn't care about students success. Avoid it you canIE6200 2025-12-14 18:10:45 +0000 UTC
Update 2025: Still really awful. The tone of her lectures are still monotonous. Entire one hour class sounds like a long loud sentence. She has no interest in you actually learning the concepts. Her ONLY care is to "hit into the next module". Grading: you'll lose points for unspoken "rules" and odd reasons. Exams + HW during breaks. Do not take.IE6200 2025-11-19 15:57:53 +0000 UTC
This course is tough. I do not like the professor way of teaching, the material is really hard to understand. She treat the students as a kids in school. The course is ok but her behaviour with student made the student avoid her classes.IE6200 2024-12-10 03:02:54 +0000 UTC
