Easy class. Not very interesting. He sure likes himself.

Professor Afifi lowered everyone grades because of a mistake he made, and blamed it on the students after the quarter ended. Tests are based on his rambling in lecture, not slides, slides are plain, I did better on exam reading the nonrequired textbook instead of going to lecture. Doesn't really live up to his frame in the department.

Lowered everyone's exam grade by 10p after the semester ENDED because of an error he overlooked on his system,send long email to ALL students BLAMING us for not telling him .Unprofessional, focus too much on his own research instead.

Finally got the chance to take the famed Afifi and he's worth the hype! His lectures are engaging, relatable, and he adds a depth of social awareness to his topics. He's a great LGBT ally and recognizes his privileges. He genuinely cares about his students, and he's very straightforward with grading and tests. I'd take him again!

I enjoyed this class and Afifi's way of lecturing. He is funny and makes the lecture go by fast. The material is interesting and relevant, he shows a lot of video clip examples and tells personal stories about his family. He encourages discussion and will call on you. The usual research paper and straight forward tests, but you got to study.

Very passionate about teaching. One midterm, one final, one research paper, and a 2 page application paper. Tests are straight forward. Easy A.
