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!

Easy class. Not very interesting. He sure likes himself.

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.
