He is very hot. And I enjoyed his class- partly because he is really hot. Two thumbs up. Tests were challenging, but in a good way. Just study and you will do well.

This was an INT one credit course called money talks, so it was easier than an act. Peer teachers ran it mainly but he gave extra input that was so helpful and gave his own experience. Gave great finance advice and open to beginners. Final interview/writing and reflection assignments throughout the course. Will def look back at notes in future

i thought Afifi was a great professor that is very educated and passionate. His lectures were never boring. 2 big papers, a 2 midterms and a final. Questions on tests were very specfic. do the readings and watch the videos, and study hard if not you will do bad.
