TAKE THIS CLASS! This was my favorite class ive taken at UCSB. Though her lectures and readings were heavy, her lectures are so engaging it is easy to stay on track. Her lecture slides also cover every aspect of the readings so if any part of the reading is confusing, she will cover it. I could not stop talking about the class content. the best.

Prof. Hajjar is very knowledgable however I don't think she can teach well. Lectures are extremely, extremely dense (usually 30 slides a day packed with words) and she speaks very quickly. Gradebook was literally the midterm, final, and one paper, and no review guide for the exams. Just praying the TA is a reasonable grader.

She's so inspirational. I was always excited for class, learned something new every time. Lectures are a lot of info, but it's all relevant and she explains how it all connects. Literally changed my life and now I'm applying for law school.

Professor Hajjar has been such an amazing professor that I am taking another class with her next quarter. She really cares about her students and the material, and is one of the most knowledgeable academics I've ever met. Her class is easy if you show up and at least try to succeed on the papers (3 pages) and tests, each of which there were two.

She was a great professor with so much knowledge. It was so great to take her class and I am so honored to have learned from her. She lectures very well - makes it interesting. A lot of reading but the lectures analyze the readings. Midterm and Final and 2 short papers

She will answer any questions and is not hard to work with. 2 tests 1-2 papers, and she gives plenty of information to write about for papers, so they aren't complicated. My favorite part of how her class is structured is that her lectures cover her readings, so they are clearly spelled out for you. very passionate but kinda dense lectures.
