Just read assignments, bring original ideas to class, work with your group and participate and you'll get an A. He isn't obsessed with grades so you shouldn't be, either.",

    "comment": "Ramzi is 1 of the most inspiring professors I've ever had. He's witty, fun, open-minded, and welcoming. Sometimes says inflammatory things to get ppl thinking. If u r not familiar with gay culture/history, you will struggle. His lectures are long & he reads from a script, but the class is 99% discussion anyway. A LOT of reading but few assignments.",
