Dr. Ibrahim, I can't thank you enough for helping me UNDERSTAND seismic analysis and not just blindly solve problems to pass the exam. Thank you for taking the time to explain complex concepts in a simple clever way. Thank you for the extremely helpful book and the summary sheets that were crucial for my success in the exam. Thank you for taking the time to solve hard questions in class and repeating the concepts till everyone understood them. It has been a pleasure being your student. I finally passed my seismic exam and became a PE in CA thanks to your efforts.
