Attendance:
He takes attendance regularly even for graduate courses
Explanation :
His English language is extremely difficult to understand, and on top of this he comes unprepared for lectures. so most of classes get wasted on him solving things we’ve seen get solve thousands of times. To, summarize, don’t expect to get taught the concepts, instead you will just get lost watching him solve easy direct time wasting problems!
Exams:
the midterm was direct however he was unfair with grading. you might look at the questions thinking they are simple and straight forward but just wait until you see your results!
if you just make one simple calculation error at the start of one question you might get deducted halve of that question’s marks which might be 25% of the exam’s weight even if all of your other steps are correct. He just looks at your final answer and not on your steps which is unfair.
Finals :
His final was much more difficult than the midterm. He told us before the final that he would give us a formula sheet with everything we need for the final’s problems except for some things that we needed to memorize. However, at the final he surprised us with one full question with no formulas for it.
Voice:
clear but his English language is extremely difficult to understand
Extra:
He gets angry really quickly and is not respectful of students at all. One time he screamed extremely hard at one student for just leaving his belongings in the class room at the instructor’s table, which by the way happens a lot in building 63. The student apologized right away but he kept on screaming even harder in front of the whole class.
Also he is even much more disrespectful during exams. So as an advice don’t ask him any question during exams. he will just get angry at you.
Vibration Course:
I wouldn’t recommend anyone to take this course. This is one of the worst courses an undergrad student could take. Don’t take me wrong, the subject is useful (in academia, not in industry) but the instructors that usually teach this course in KFUPM are seriously lacking and the approach taken to teach this course will just waste your time and effort and most likely in the end you wouldn’t get a grade worth of the time you spent. You would come out from this course with zero useful knowledge for the industry .
Final Grade:
F
محمد خير السليحات
التحضير:
يحضر كل كلاس، وإذا غبت أكثر من مرتين يبدأ يخصم. كل تأخيرين يحسبهم غياب واحد، وأول ثلاث مرات تأخير ما عليها شي.
طريقة الشرح:
شرحه بصراحة مو واضح واجد. بالدينامكس يمكن يكون أفضل شوي، بس بالمواد الثانية يعتمد على السلايدات وينقل منها، ومرات يضيع وهو يشرح. السلايدات أكثرها من دكاترة غيره مع تعديلات بسيطة.
الكويزات:
سهلة بشكل عام، لكن التصحيح مو ذاك الزود.
المياجر:
تصحيحه شديد، حتى لو الخطأ بسيط مثل تعويض رقم أو طريقة ترتيب الحل ممكن يخصم كثير. مرات تطلع درجتك نازلة وأنت حاس إنك بدعت
الفاينل:
كان أصعب من المتوقع، وتصحيحه نفس الشي.
القريد النهائي:
C
الصوت:
صوته عالي بالمحاضرة.
إضافات:
أسلوبه فيه شدة، ويبين عليه العصبية. درجاته تناسب أكثر شي الطلاب اللي مستواهم متوسط وتحت، أما الـ A+ صعبة وتحتاج مجهود يتعدى الشطارة ؛).
الخلاصة:
أنا عن نفسي ما أنصح به، خاصة بالكتف، إذا في دكاترة ثانيين مثل حوا أو باشمال أو القحطاني أو الشقاق او مواد قطب والسرخي ومخيمر.
