math108a . A Month Ago

He has bad lectures where he mumbles and writes notes without explaining. Even when asked to explain, he answers questions the answers are vague and full of advanced math terms which makes it difficult to understand without knowing the topics. Also, the homework is often very difficult and requires much more work than examples found in lecture

Prof Shah radiates pure aura. Literally the only boomer I can vibe with. HOWEVER don't take his class unless you want your grade to go straight into the skibidi toilet. His exams will straight up mog you. Love the vibes, hate the trauma. 1/10

don't have great things to say about him. his handwriting is really bad, so you can't understand anything he writes. He also expects us to understand everything from his handwritten notes beforehand and lecture is only a "discussion". It was impossible to learn anything from them, so I only attended for pop quizzes. exams are rough with no curve

Don't take this class. I physically cried during his midterm. Take literally any other professor. Is this the only math class open? I don't care. Take a math class next quarter

Waqar is an unempathetic human being for subjecting his students to the grading in this class. His final exam should be used as a CIA torture technique. This school is wrong for allowing this man to teach.

Bad lecturer and bad communicator. The chair of the department had to be involved to PROTECT the rights of students to be assessed fairly and get the prof to stick to a fair grading scheme. 10/10 will NOT recommend
