The Return of Aziz

Posting this on my alternate account because I can be easily identified on my main.

My roommate works for the Faculty of Engineering. Essentially, they assist in allocation of classes to part-time professors. Yesterday they came home and presented me with some grim news. Apparently, UOttawa has retained Prof. Aziz Abdesselam for the 2024/2025 academic year. There’s a prof who’s had to drop out due to personal issues, and Aziz has been called up to replace him as he has prior experience teaching classes this professor was supposed to. Apparently the rumours that Aziz was banned or permanently suspended were not true, and he’s coming back to teach again.

I was a COVID graduate from engineering in 2020, and although didn’t take any of Aziz’s classes myself I had friends who did. I’m well aware of his reputation so I figured I’d share this info (with my friend’s permission of course) as a heads up.
