Zahir Kolia

Live, laugh love this prof, he was truly passionate with the lectures, and made my longest class feel like the shortest, happiest 3 hours on tuesdays.

Prof. was an amazing teacher. He was engaging towards his students and always had helpful advices. He would tell life stories every now and then based of his own experiences and those were actually really interesting and fun to listen to. His assessments were very easy and we're mostly based off the readings. Overall, I'm going to miss his class

can't express how much i enjoyed dr.kolias class! he was genuinely such an engaging guy and is extremely passionate in what he teaches. if you're taking this class as a req, i strongly advise you to take his class!

Very funny and light-hearted in lectures. The material is interesting and applicable to the real world. Lots of writing (13+ pages double-spaced) for the midterm/final! He's an easy marker if you can prove you know the material. The textbook can be found online, and the readings can show up on exams. He loves to engage with students in lectures.

Prof Kolia made lectures so entertaining i actuall wanted to attend, which is good because later in the sem he kinda stops posting slides because no one goes, course is graded off midterm, writing assignment, and the final and its all graded pretty easily. would def take a course with him again!!

He is such a good guy, his lectures are dense, but not boring he's great at lecturing. his tests are really fair, you have to know ur stuff, and he's a fair marker for essays. go to class though, you will miss stuff if you don't!

his lectures made me realize a few things on how messed up canada really is... he's such a great prof. lot's of reading with textbook readings, but he's a really goof prof! he loved our lecture section, and make sure he remembers you by name, participation matters! ive never had an instructor cuss in lectures like he does! woke us up for an 8 am xD

Professor Kolia is an outstanding professor. CRM100 with him is engaging, clear, and genuinely enjoyable. He truly cares about student success and makes the material easy to understand. Tests and assignments are fair and manageable, allowing motivated students to earn strong grades. His teaching style creates a supportive learning environment too.

Really chill guy, funny in class and makes lectures interesting. Only class I didnt skip once all semester was this one. Pretty strict when it comes to grading, but he makes sure to teach well so it kinda cancels out imo. 9/10 would take class again

Really nice professor and his lectures are very engaging. Make sure you go to class and do his readings. Tests are pretty difficult for a first year course, do not recommend him if you are trying to get an A
