I took Modern Islamic Movements this spring. Professor Campo is clearly an expert in this field, and his academic clout is warranted. The material is difficult and there is a lot of it, but because the Professor writes Encyclopedias of Islam, he knows how to present the material clearly and concisely.

Pretty cool class concept, but a lot harder than it seems. All assignments were very straightforward, but the quizzes are horrible. Absolutely horrendous quizzes (class avg. was a C). The hardest part is memorizing middle eastern dishes and their importance/context in the course as well as the ingredients. Nice guy tho & does food lab with his wife

Seriously had to take this because there was nothing left. My 3.8 gpa dropped because of this class. Regret it completely. Got a C I would advise you if it’s not your major don’t take it don’t take him. He will give you a study guide but then put other questions and the final is BS

Professor Juan Campo is opinionated and dogmatic in his approach to teaching; he doesn't welcome alternative perspectives and ideas. The subjective portion of exams is harshly graded if you do not regurgitate his opinions. If you don't toe the line, your grade will suffer, and you will receive lower marks, so be warned.

Dr. Campo is such a nice person. He genuinely cares that you succeed in the course. While there were many interesting lectures, I do feel that some details were not very relevant or important and had too much time allocated to them. It might not be the most exciting course I have taken, but I do think that it was interesting/ and an easy A.
