Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
I love this professor! Very helpful and teaches basic concepts over and over again until you understand. He will even stay extra in OH to make sure you get the material. Urdu is not an easy language to learn but the prof. is great.

not a great teacher. no grammar in class, you have to go in for "extra help" to actually learn the language.

While generally a friendly guy, I think that Qamar doesn't really understand how to be a teacher. He's a native Urdu speaker but that alone doesn't make him good at teaching others how to speak the language.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Qamar does not use the textbook, teaches no grammar, and expects students to "intuitively" learn this difficult language. If you're a desi native speaker, you can slack in his classes, but if you're not, well, good luck.
