AFIFI W A
He is very hot. And I enjoyed his class- partly because he is really hot. Two thumbs up. Tests were challenging, but in a good way. Just study and you will do well.
This was an INT one credit course called money talks, so it was easier than an act. Peer teachers ran it mainly but he gave extra input that was so helpful and gave his own experience. Gave great finance advice and open to beginners. Final interview/writing and reflection assignments throughout the course. Will def look back at notes in future
his class is very lecture important and make sure you do the readings and videos. his exams are SO HARD and specific. make sure you study study study for this class. one of the hardest classes ive taken and only graded on like 5 assignments.
afifi keeps it tf real. his tests are super hard and specific. STUDYYYYYY cuz i bombed every single one
i thought Afifi was a great professor that is very educated and passionate. His lectures were never boring. 2 big papers, a 2 midterms and a final. Questions on tests were very specfic. do the readings and watch the videos, and study hard if not you will do bad.
Never responds to emails and as th other students said, the exams are very tricky
expect questions that are geared for u to fail on midterms! like specific irrelevancies from a 3 minute video u watched in class yrs ago. good luck!
tests are worth most of the grade and are insanely hard. TA agreed and its so unreasonable for a comm course. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU DONT HAVE TO.
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!
