My favorite professor I have had at UCSB. Attendance is mandatory but his lectures are so engaging and intresting that I genuinely enjoyed going. Highly recommend taking his class!

Amazing professor, really passionate about his classes. Heavy test (95% in total of thefinal grade comes from 3 exams and 1 essay exam) but you will be more and more enjoy the learning and reviewing process!

Extremely passionate about what he teaches. Readings are definitely beneficial but he does provide all of them. Bulk of grading is based on only three exams and an essay, so make sure to look through all materials given.

Professor Afifi was awesome!! Loved him and this class. He is super knowledgable and clearly is very invested in his work. The class is pretty hard, so be ready to but in the work. The only things grades were the 2 midterms, essay test, and final. Study the lecture notes for the tests and you will do good. He also curves the tests which was helpful

Afifi is clearly passionate about what he teaches, his lectures were very well structured and kept students engaged however the content on exams was based on lectures, videos, and readings so be sure to STUDY ALL MATERIALS. He didn't round or provide extra credit when I took his course if you need to make the Comm GPA req, be mindful of his grading

Really nice and knowledgeable but I wouldn't take his class if you like structure. No study guides provided for tests and anything he says verbally (not on slides) during lecture will probably be on the tests… and he talks fast. This class is harder than it should be, but it's obvious he is a very passionate teacher if thats important to you!
