First Bruinwalk review ever since I was shocked at the ratings this professor currently has. Here's the thing: this class is not a traditional "come in, read the slides, study the slides, get a grade" kind of class. This class is primarily about the application of linear regression theory in R and understanding the output. For that reason, most of the class is actually just showing students the code for different models and talking through the output.

If you approach the class knowing this, and take notes accordingly, you will do very well. The professor could certainly improve on CCLE organization, but when it comes down to teaching, he is wonderful and I highly recommend his class.

If you consider copying slides from others and being utterly disorganized as a style, then yes he has a style. He crossed the other professors' names off the slides he copied in the hope we won't notice.

Given that, my friends and I self-studied most of the material as his lectures are not helpful. His final tested the last two chapters (9 in total) which he quickly covered in week 10 because we were running out of time.

Take Christou instead if you want to learn

This is the best professor I've ever taken. His lecture is very vivid, and he answers questions quite promptly! I would definitely take him again.

I don't see why people love this guy. He does not come off as friendly, and he is so disorganized its crazy. Our midterm was so long no one had any chance of finishing it; i hate when professors do that. Avoid avoid avoid avoid, trust me.

The class is fine- average workload and grading. Your grade depends on attendance, weekly online quizzes, weekly labs, occasional article assignments, two midterms, and the final. He is pretty frustrating as a professor, though, because he'll say things that conflict with the powerpoints or just contradictory things in general. He goes in an order that's confusing and just jumps around. He'd go over certain concepts too briefly which would leave a lot of people confused. The class is definitely doable but I don't think he taught well at all.

This class is meh. The labs are painfully boring though easy. The professor, while occasionally funny, is prone to launching into tangents. I also did not feel that the class truly prepared me for the midterm and final and I had to do weekly tutoring sessions to pass. If you go to his office hours though he is super helpful and will work through problems with you. I also have to say that I missed the 1st midterm and he averaged the score of my second midterm and final exam and gave that to me as my first midterm score, which I really appreciated. Overall you will definitely get the most benefit from this class if you make time to go to office hours and make sure to finish all your labs in lab section instead of putting them off til the last minute.

Great professor. Medium workload. Not a hard A+ as you can get almost full credit for all the assignments. Selling textbook of this class. Please contact yxj156@case.edu.

Decent class, the professor himself was very nice. My main problems were taking it simultaneously with some difficult classes, and forgetting about it until the midterm, in which I was wrecked, and spent the rest of the quarter trying to recover. In general, a meh class with a nice teacher. Textbook was definitely one of the jankiest ones I've ever seen, I practically never used it, just found resources elsewhere which made a lot more sense. Make sure to do the labs completely (some of them they check thoroughly, some not so much) and to go really slow on the quizzes (they are practically free points if you are careful with them).

As you can see from the class distribution, Professor Almohalwas's class is doable; however, this does not mean he doesn't teach. He is genuinly concerned about his students and he actually teaches class materials that are useful. His additional lecture materials he posts are very useful and interesting as well.

He seems confusing at first because his teaching style is a little different. The most important thing that you can do is know everything in the notes he provides and write down all the examples he does in class. To succeed I went to many office hours and asked him to redo profs and all the examples I wasn't able to follow in class. He is extremely patient in office hours and has many of them- so take advantage! Other than that, his tests are fair and directly mirror the in class material.
