Mohamad Al-Sheikhly ENMA422 Expecting an A Anonymous 10/18/2022	Not sure what the previous review is about, he wasn't mean in class or yelled for no reason. He takes his time answering our questions and if you say you do not understand, he will attempt to go through the concept again. Getting on his good side definitely helps, he has mentioned in our class that he likes "this class". For projects, be very well informed about your presentation. He will question the details in your project and 'rip you apart' if you are not well prepared, but do note that "I do not know" is an acceptable answer, especially for the preliminary presentation. The point is to find areas for you to research further into the project. There is a large focus on polymers in the 2nd half of the course which I was not expecting, but that is his expertise. Overall, I really like his teaching style he's kind of funny, and my favourite professor this term.
Mohamad Al-Sheikhly ENMA422 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/27/2016	ENMA422 itself is an easy class. Three homeworks, a take home midterm, a final and most of the assignments are partner work. Getting an A was pretty easy. Al-Sheikhly doesn't allow any electronics in class and always takes attendance, which kinda sucks because his lecturing is extremely sub-par and fairly repetitional. He also had a really large focus on polymers for the second part of the course. As for the man himself, he's pretty much just a cranky old man. He can be mean and yell for no reason, and rarely answers questions adequately if he even tolerates them. Getting on his good side is hard and may not help that much, but should still be attempted. If he still does a project in the future, just go to his office hours and ask him for a topic. Otherwise you risk public humiliation as he rips apart your preliminary presentation in front of the whole class, without any response allowed. Of course if you're a girl, this doesn't apply. He'll love you regardless. Overall if you can stomach his personality, the class is easy enough that I would recommend it.
