Dr. Sabra himself is fine, attendance isn't mandatory. However, the TA essentially decides your whole grade in this class. Your grade is based off of two midterm papers, and a final, as well as participation and attendance in section. If your TA is tough LIKE MINE LOWK WAS GOOD FREAKING LUCK!! I'd really only rec this class if ur passionate abt it.

Prof Sabra is a fine professor, and its almost impossible to fail if you go to class. He is not the most engaging, very monotone and reads from slides that summarize the readings but attendance is mandatory. 2 papers, attendance and online final make for an easy A. The content is interesting but I wish that he seemed more enthusiastic in lecture.

I really enjoyed his class. He is a super nice guy, Super knowledgeable this class consisted of three essays Worth 25% of your grade each and the remaining 25% as participation. The essays were super easy and he gives 3-day extensions on them just in case, without penalty. this class is Super Easy A just show up

Not a hard class, since it's graded by 25% for each of section attendance, midterm 1, 2, and the final. All of these are essays so there's no stress when it comes to taking a test, and you don't need to know anywhere close to 100% of the material he goes over in the lectures. Often boring and overly information heavy, but he's nice and knowledgable

This class is just really boring, frankly. He reads off powerpoint slides and some lectures feel like Wikipedia summaries. He's a surprisingly tough grader too, I had my grade dragged down by an endless number of meaningless nitpicks on essays. But even past that, I just don't feel I learned much with him.

Very interesting class overall. Textbook and lectures line up pretty well, lectures are interesting but not necessary. 2 papers and take home final, all very easy. Class content was taught well and easy to understand if you payed attention.
