He is passionate about this stuff and really informative about social justice. However, he has no structure and his objectives are unclear. He moves deadlines around so it becomes confusing to stay on top of what is due when. His expectations for the group project are unrealistic and there is not enough guidance. I really regret this class.

He seems to be very passionate about his teaching but he always gets side tracked when he's giving his lectures & he never makes it through the entire powerpoint. His TA is awful. When I turned in my analysis paper it took over a month for me to see my grade... I had no idea what grade I had going into the final. Easy but very unorganized class.

Awesome professor! Explains everything clearly, makes class exciting, but he makes it clear you have to study on top of it. Multiple choice midterm/final. 3 small application papers (somewhat difficult, though). Tests are fair if you've studied the book. Very eager to help students and gives extra credit! I recommend this class and him as a prof.

Walid is a really cool guy but his course objectives are pretty unclear. His test questions are confusing and even with flashcards and extensive reading notes it is hard to understand what he will put on the test. Also, his papers are short but NOT easy!

Walid is awesome - he's just a cool/chill professor and it's reflected in his teaching. The main component of this class was the social marketing campaign worth the majority of your grade, which took LOTS of effort and out of class time. But overall, take this class, it's worth it because this is one of the most applicable COMM classes out there.

his laughter cracked me up. it was a fun class.

Make sure you attend lecture because his tests are usually based on what was talked about in class. So take good notes! Tests were kinda hard because his lectures aren't very structured. Paper is not so bad. Really sweet professor and makes class fun. This class actually woke me up in the mornings.

Funny guy but can be difficult

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!
