Merah, Ralph  

If you have the option of taking Ralph's class for 117 or 141, TAKE HIM. When you get in the class and show up for that first day... you will thank me!

This teacher wants you to do well and if you put in any effort at all you will get one. The opportunities for extra credit are huge and every test is open book open note

He is an easy teacher but gets mad REALLY easily. He gets mad when you don't ask questions but then when you ask a question he says "Don't you see? It's obvious!" So I just didn't ask any questions. Go to class. You will get a good grade if he knows your name and knows you come to class everyday. Test and quizes are easy because they are open note. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS!!! He tells you answers to his tests and quizes. You also get extra credit for going.

CRAZY but an easy A if you visit office hours and communicate with him via email. He sends a lot of crazy spam to all of his students and goes in waves of nice lectures, crazy ones, and then just horrible ones; consisting of yelling.

Professor Merah was one of the best instructors I had. He was very interested in his students doing very well and encouraged attendance. He will always say that if you missed class then be sure to show up for his office hours to catch up with whatever you missed in class. He explained the lectures very well and everyone liked his teaching style. If you studied hard and followed his lectures it was an easy A.

What the guy/gal below said. Amen. I too took this class and have long since graduated from Poly, but I was cruising Poly Ratings for a kick and thought that I should pipe in and let you know how much of a joke this prof is.
