His lectures are long and not very engaging which makes it hard to grasp all of the content, as his slides are very minimal and the reading is heavy. I did very little reading and did fine. He gives study guides for midterms and the final; however, the questions on the tests are much more specific than whats on the study guide.

Campo isn't very tech-savvy or organized in lectures, which means he doesn't expect much in his class. I never went to lecture and just showed up for the tests (2 midterms, 1 final) and everything he tests for is on the study guide. he assigns a lot of reading but I haven't looked at them once and do fine.

worst professor I have every had his lectures were long and boring, merely reads off his slides which have little to no information on them, he posts study guides the night before the test, comes late to tests giving us limited time, is rude to his students, and shows no care in his job. I would not recommend this class to my worst enemy.

nice guy, but lectures were long and it was difficult to stay engaged. quizzes and exams were easy enough but lots of reading. would recommend looking elsewhere for a ge.

I took Modern Islamic Movements this spring. Professor Campo is clearly an expert in this field, and his academic clout is warranted. The material is difficult and there is a lot of it, but because the Professor writes Encyclopedias of Islam, he knows how to present the material clearly and concisely.

Pretty cool class concept, but a lot harder than it seems. All assignments were very straightforward, but the quizzes are horrible. Absolutely horrendous quizzes (class avg. was a C). The hardest part is memorizing middle eastern dishes and their importance/context in the course as well as the ingredients. Nice guy tho & does food lab with his wife

Seriously had to take this because there was nothing left. My 3.8 gpa dropped because of this class. Regret it completely. Got a C I would advise you if it’s not your major don’t take it don’t take him. He will give you a study guide but then put other questions and the final is BS

Professor Juan Campo is opinionated and dogmatic in his approach to teaching; he doesn't welcome alternative perspectives and ideas. The subjective portion of exams is harshly graded if you do not regurgitate his opinions. If you don't toe the line, your grade will suffer, and you will receive lower marks, so be warned.

Dr. Campo is such a nice person. He genuinely cares that you succeed in the course. While there were many interesting lectures, I do feel that some details were not very relevant or important and had too much time allocated to them. It might not be the most exciting course I have taken, but I do think that it was interesting/ and an easy A.

This class is a good for a low stress GE. There's a good amount of reading but if you keep up you should be fine. The midterm and final are easy enough and there's one 8 page paper. I'd recommend going to lecture.

I took 2 classes with Campo, 140C and 140D. He was good at conveying the information. The reading is the most tedious part

Prof Campo is a fantastic lecturer and very well versed in Islamic studies. His lectures are jam packed with info that you use for online posts and assignments. Readings are extensive but very interesting. He is very helpful as well. Texts needed are extensive and reading is mandatory.
