I used to like Geography before I took Ali. Great man outside of class, but he tends to lose classwork you turn in.

Very hard to understand, make sure to sit in the front row. Never followed the syllabus. Had a sub a few times. He changes plans so much, that you should probably attend class everyday. His manual costs about $80 and you have to buy the book and an atlas. Fairly easy material though, and he tells good stories

Comment:
While Dr. Ali is a very sweet and well traveled, he is my worst professor. He is rediculously unorganized and it is not uncommon for him to lose your work excercises. We do not always follow the syllabus so it's sometimes difficult to keep up with quizes. He can be difficult to understand, but he writes everything important down on the board.

Enjoyed this upper level elective class. Dr Ali is friendly and his knowledge of the subject shows. The homework come from a workbook he wrote and the test comes from the study guide inside the workbook. He will take time in class to draw diagrams and make sure the students understand. Great class take it!!!!!!!

Dr. Ali is well-traveled and very knowledgeable. His accent and English are fine; the only people who complain about it are rednecks (who don't exactly speak the best English themselves). Exam questions come *directly* from his class workbook/study guide, so long as you study it you'll do fine.

Dr. Ali's class was very interesting. He is extremely knowledgable and has a lot of experience in the countries discussed. He does mention the Muslim religion in his class, but it is not the only religion he discusses. His reasons were to educate students, not recruit new Muslims.

What a great class! Dr. Ali has so much knowledge and personal experience to give - it's a shame the class couldn't last longer. If you enjoy this subject, the work won't be so bad. Take notes and study, and you'll be fine!

Ali is very nice and intelligent. The 1st day you will be a bit overwhelmed with his thick accent... but give him a chace. Always be present and take good notes or you will be behind. A study guide is provided- and test are very simple. Ali is very knowledgable and works in his field of teaching which makes him very interesting. I highly recomend!

Dr. Ali has a very strong accent, making him rather hard to understand sometimes. He knows his subject and writes most things on the board. His tests are very easy, as long as you take notes and study. And believe me, do take notes because you won't remember everything covered in class.

Comment:
Dr. Ali was a good geography teacher. I learned a lot about the world. He's well-traveled - so he knows more about the places he's teaching about than just what's in the text. As for Muslim religion - he did cover it - but he also described the dominant religions in other locations as well. It wasn't a sermon.

Smart professor - knows his stuff...but sometimes quite hard to understand. He writes everything down on the board though. Tests are sometimes difficult b/c he doesn't always cover all the material.
