He made sure to give us feedback on our responses and gave us a lot of good tips on how to write good essays. He has a very good knowledge of African literature and he shared many experiences from his own culture and other African cultures. It's a good com b class.",

There is nothing like a syllabus for his class and at times the grades he gives assignments seem arbitrary. He can be helpful if you push him, but it's kinda like pulling teeth.",

He is funny at times, but explanations and expectations are not always clear until you get points off on a test or homework. It seems like he forgets that this is only an intro. level class and that making us not want to take arabic again isn't the goal.",
