Ok, I normally wouldn’t do this, but I want to make sure no other student at Murray State University<\/a> has to suffer the wrath of a horrible Wireless Communications professor<\/a>, Abdul Yarali<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was very outspoken about the difficult time I was having in this course. The biggest reason I was having a difficult time is the professor was not clear on assignments, communicated poorly, and ran a very disorganized and unstructured class. All of my other on-line classes have given a schedule up-front that allowed you to know what was due when. A must for an on-line class because on-line classes fill the void for non-traditional students who have full-time jobs or other responsibilities that keep them from attending traditional on-the-ground classes.<\/p>\n

Mr. Yarali did not understand this. He ran the on-line class exactly like a on-the-ground class. He gave pop quizes that lasted online for only 24 hours. If you didn’t login, you missed it. He scheduled tests for specific 4 to 5 hour windows, which again if you had work or anything else you had to reschedule your life because the most notice we were given with one of these tests was approximately a week.<\/p>\n

He banned the use of the on-line discussion board. He never used the on-line gradebook or even emailed you grades of your assignments. This makes calculating your grade on your own impossible, and also makes checking his final grade submission impossible as well.<\/p>\n

His written English skills were poor. I feel any professor giving an on-line course where clearly written directions are critical should at least have some proficiency in the English language.<\/p>\n

If you are taking the on-line TSM degree at Murray State University, please for your own sanity avoid this professor. I’m not even sure I would take this professor for a regular class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
