Grade Earned: A

Dakhlallah, his class, his homework and his tests are an abysmal waste of time. He should be fired. He is one of the reasons why the buisness department at Cal Poly is widely considered a 'joke' amongst the other colleges. He is a sad excuse for an econ professor, and I am disgusted that I had to waste my valuable time attending this worthless class. After showing up a half hour late from the first day of class, Dakhlallah showed a disgusting level of organization. His lectures were straight from pre-canned website power-point presentations. The homework was useless and easy. Don't buy the "student workbook." It's a waste of money, and you wont get anything from it. I never opened it once, and sold it back for a whopping $3 (after buying it for $30). I never say this about instructors, but this is one you honestly do *not* need to show up for class for. The book is fairly succinct, and the website is even better. If you do the practice quizzes on the website, you will do wonderfully on the tests. Perhaps the most distracting thing of Dakhlallah was his intolerance for talking. Several times he shut down the class for a period of half an hour when he heard someone whispering, in a class of no less than 250 people. One time he even threw someone out for laughing! I couldn't believe it. Jesus professor. Get real, and don't waste my time. Overall, a very very poor instructor, and one I expect won't last too long, if he's not tenured. I hope they do let him go. I'm sure there are plenty of other wannabie econ professors who would do a much better job than this guy.
