Ahmed, I appreciate that you genuinely care about students learning the material and passing the exam. The extra time and effort that you spent was very generous. I believe the class is well worth the cost and that the book is well-written.

Dear Dr. Ibrahim,
I wanted to let you know that I took the Seismic Exam on April 30 and I just received my results - I passed!
I would like to personally thank you, your class is great and going to the actual exam felt exactly like solving the problems we solved in class and in the homework! I had plenty of time at the end (approx. 30 minutes) to go back and check the 4 questions that I wasn't sure how to answer on the first try.
Thank you again. I will highly recommend your course to everyone. You are one of the best teachers I've ever had and your class is structured extremely well. I'm in the Water/Wastewater field and I went to school in Boston so my seismic background was zero. Your course is the reason I passed and I can't be happier.

This class is one of the best I have taken – ever! It was very thorough, I had never taken a seismic class prior and you broke down the concepts to a manner that was very easy to understand. I felt completely prepared for the exam, thanks to your most excellent instruction.
