ACF Teachers (3rd Semester) Info

Discussion

DISCLAIMER FOR MODS: Umm, I know I posted something like this before, but it turns out I got some new instructors instead of what I thought I would be getting, you can remove my previous post of Professors of Doom, if u think that's crowding out the subreddit, but please don't remove this😭

Hey everyone!
I’ll be starting my 3rd semester (ACF) soon and these are the teachers I’ve been assigned:

  • Abdullah Mohsin
  • M. Fawad Khan
  • Juvaria Tariq
  • Sana Imran
  • Umar Zia Uddin
  • Nida Abbas

Since seniors always know the real deal, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experiences with them. Specifically, I’m curious about:

  1. Classroom Dos & Don’ts
    • Any habits that they dislike?
    • Things that can get you on their good side (participation, punctuality, etc.)
  2. Grading Style
    • Do they grade leniently or are they strict?
    • Is their marking more focused on concepts, cramming, or assignments/quizzes?
  3. Teaching Style
    • Are their lectures engaging or mostly self-study?
    • Do they stick closely to slides/books or go beyond?
  4. Attendance Policy
    • How strict are they with attendance and participation?
    • Do they allow late entries or are they particular about it?
  5. Survival Tips
    • Any hacks to do well in their courses (specific note-taking style, focusing on past papers, active participation, etc.)
    • Things to absolutely avoid in their class

I just want to have a clearer picture before the semester kicks off so I don’t mess up my grades because of avoidable mistakes. Any insights, even small ones, will really help! 🙌

Thanks in advance!
