Assorted Testimonials
Hello Professor,
I'm happy to say I got a notification last night that I passed the Seismic exam! Thank you for your instruction and guidance that prepared me for this success.
I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience I had completing this course. I previously completed another Seismic course, which was not well put together and did not prepare me adequately for the exam. I had signed up for that course thinking you were the instructor and decided to stick with it when I realized that wasn't the case anymore, but that ended up being a huge waste of my time and money (and a huge source of frustration). I dreaded the thought of having to spend months completing a whole other course to prepare myself for the exam, but this course made studying as painless as it could be. The lecture videos and materials are extremely thorough and helpful and I truly feel like I was ready for my exam this time.
Thank you again,

The textbook combined with the workshop problems gave me the confidence I needed. Thank you for sharing your seismic knowledge and the problem solving techniques. Your C3 technique helped me through the course and into the exam: Calm, Collected and Confident. I would not have passed without your course and the motivation I got from you!

Dr. Ahmed, the quality of your class was above and beyond my expectations. Your in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, commitment to teaching, patience, dedication, and continuous support are second to none. I learned an enormous amount of new materials in a very short time. The class was not easy and demanding but you made it effective and enjoyable at the same time. I have so many more good things to say about your class and have already recommended your class to my friends . Thank you so very much.
