AFIFI W A
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!
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
Amazing professor!! He cares so much about his students and is interesting in lecture. Take his class
