Phenomenal. Classes are casual: he constantly refers to the class as "my friends." Grading criteria are crystal clear. He goes the extra mile to make sure everyone's up to speed before moving on. Need help outside of class? No you don't, he's answered your questions in class, with a smile on his face. By far one of the best professors out there.

One of my favorite profs. Explains everything clear and gives lots of examples. The tests have 20 extra credit points on them which is super helpful. Willing to help you if you don't understand and will try to explain it in another way so that you do understand.

One of the best professors at the school. Has a very clear grading policy and all the tests and quizzes are fair and you don't need to do all the homework assignments to do well either.

Professor Alzahabi is by far one of the best professors that Kettering has to offer. His grading scale is more than fair, and he goes out of his way to make sure that everyone in the class understands the material. He is a must have professor for any student taking Mech 210.

Took statics as an EE and it couldn't have been easier. 8 quizzes and he drops 3 of them. Tests are straight forward as well.

Great professor, Great guy. Tests are straight forward and he explains everything that will be on a quiz before the quiz. As long as you study the material, you will do very well. I went into Solids with a very poor understanding of statics - He managed to completely teach me two subjects in one semester. 1010, would take him again.

Alzahabi is a very good professor. He teaches well and he is responsive when you need help. Exams are difficult, so don't expect an easy A, but all-in-all his class is very reasonable. There was a minor curve in his class, don't expect anything significant.

Great teacher for statics. He is very thorough when he does problems and obviously knows what hes talking about. His tests are quite harder than the homework so plan for that. Overall I would take him for any ME class hands down!

Alzahabi is one of the best profs I've had at Kettering, thus far. Extremely effective at communicating the material. He can be picky with his grading, but once you figure out how he grades you'll do fine. Grades his 120-point exams out of 100, allowing for some extra credit.

Extremely thorough professor, teaches and knows the material very well. Quizzes/tests were hard at first, but then he eased up and class was very enjoyable. You have to keep up on your stuff, but if you do, the class is a pleasure and you'll know the subject very well.

Easiest class yet, got a hundred and didn't have to open my book. If youv'e taken Phys 1 Just stay awake in class and you'll get a 100. He also gives huge amounts of extra credit. Take ths professor if possible.

Professor Alzhabi is always there when you need him to be. He is clear and is always willing to go the extra mile for his students. Even years after, he is willing to make time to tutor you and help you out when needed.

I like Alzahabi so much I took two classes with him at once. His classes are no walk in the park, but he does everything he can to help his students be successful. Don't do the homework the night before it's due so you can ask him any questions. It is worth a large percentage of your grade. Tests are graded 120/100, and he drops the lowest one.

Intro to Dynamics is pretty easy. You have a few tests, and a quiz every Thursday. As long as you do the homework (which isn't collected) you will do well. If you don't understand the material go to his office hours. He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed in his course. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Very generous curve. No oddball questions on tests and quizes. Spends all of class giving example problems. I would recommend this professor.
