Super knowledgeable. He made theories actually seem interesting, and his background in comm academia provided insight that was good to know both in life and for the exams. He provided a ton of test review opportunities and was very engaging in lecture.

Afifi is an amazing professor, my personal favorite at this school, and genuinely cares about his students and his research and wants everyone to succeed. Content of Comm89 is extremely important for POC, very eye-opening, culturally informed teaching.

As a professor he is OK, my only and biggest complaint is his exams were created to fail you. Purposefully makes trick questions with the answers sounding the same. I would go to office hours and stay after class with TA and barely even passed the class. Peng was the best TA fr.

I expected this class to be a breeze since it was Comms, but honestly I had to hustle a bit by the end of the quarter. Grading criteria for assignments wasn't super clear (imo) and exams had very specific questions. However, Afifi was a kind and engaging professor! Loved him!

tests were way too hard, TA even agreed and said that his test

Afifi was an amazing lecturer and I really enjoyed COMM89! Definitely recommend as this course was not too hard and not too easy. He really cares about his students and does his best to make the class inclusive for everyone. I would take a class with him again because he was so easy to understand
