great lecturer. you can tell he knows his stuff and likes what he does. he's a REALLY HARD grader though. he has some crazy notion that if you do what is expected of you, it's only "C" material. i worked really hard and didn't get the grade i wanted at all. we've been taught that doing what's expected will get us a good grade but not with him.

Great teacher, made lectures really interesting. Is really laid back, but is a tough grader on papers. Tests are straightforward.

Walid is a good professor. It's hard to get an A in his class and he is a hard grader when it comes to papers, but his tests are completely fair. It's really important to go to his classes because 90% of test material is on stuff talked about in class. I enjoyed his enthusiasm and would take another class with him.

Great guy, interesting lectures. He gives great examples, but fails in explaining the core concepts the examples are illustrating. Hard paper grader. Expects a lot out of students with little/ambiguous instructions. Mutiple choice part of exams are easy, but he grades hard on the short/answer essay portion

Afifi is a nice guy with really interesting lectures. His class SEEMS really chill at first. But, he grades papers really hard-- i worked my ass off and he gave me a B-! The midterm is mostly multp. choice, one "short answer" which is more like write about everything we learned so far. cool guy, but u gotta put in lots of work even for a B!
