Yup, he's the best. It's as simple as that. He's always dealing with the issue. Whatever old text we read he makes it seem really important and is able to make me see it and understand it.

I can't tell you how great having a professor like Hayder is. I always imagined I might find smart and interesting people at University. Well, I found Hayder just before I graduated. I feel very lucky to have had him.

He saved anthropology for me. I was thinking of majoring in another degree. His classes were so much. I am grateful to Prof Almohammad. Hes the best.

Al-Mohammad is the best professor that I've had. Went in not knowing what anthropology of religion was at all and he made it easy to understand. Group project was a lot of fun.
