Abdul Gilzay

I found that his lectures did stray from the slides a bit. We'd only spend about the last hour of the lecture going over the content that would actually be on the final exam. But he's very nice, funny, and understanding. He can be a bit of a hard marker, but nothing too bad.

Abdul is a really sweet, funny man, and he actually had a passion for his lectures. Prepare to do a LOT of reading, because the lectures are based on that (you'd be lost without it). The final was hard because it was multiple choice but overall he's a good professor.

Was a great experience with Abdul. Gives excellent exam review and is easy to reach if you have any questions. Fair grader. Informative lectures. Values humor which I appreciated.

Abdul was great in this class. He clearly cares about teaching. He goes off topic sometimes but makes sure to connect to the topic theme. Will often connect his personal experiences as a social worker to the course content. Easy to reach via email with fast responses.

He's a pretty good prof, but the lectures (3 hours) were honestly useless. We just had random discussions in class and BARELY covered the lecture slides. He's a hard marker but not that bad. He sometimes doesn't really understand what you're asking, which is an issue sometimes. Overall, would take it again if he were the only prof teaching it.

The professor is nice & funny. The course was easy but hard as he is strict at marking, the work is worth a lot and if you do bad you have no more chances do get better marks. The lectures are necessary to attend, he keeps you engaged by the stories but if you do the readings you will understand the course better.

Makes lectures interesting, explains things well, gives hints on tests (which were all online tests, no lockdown browser). As long as you take notes when he speaks, since he gives lots of hints, and look over the slides, tests should be easy. There was a required textbooks, but I didn't buy it.

Extremely nice professor. Had him for three classes. Take him if you want an (almost guaranteed) A, but don't take if you really expect to learn. Never really goes over any readings or class content, sort of just lets students complain about their lives/program/society for three hours and facilitates the discussions they have with themselves lol.

This has been one of the most enjoyable and inspiring courses I've taken at TMU. The professor is exceptionally caring, engaging, and passionate about the subject matter. I truly appreciate the supportive learning environment he created—by far the best professor I've had at TMU.

One of the best professors at Tmu! Very caring and flexible. Love the discussions in class. Straightforward assignments and fair grading. I would absolutely take his course again. Great person and professor!
