As an intro level you will learn Arabic very well while also getting a comprehensive view of the historical significance of the Arabian world with all it has to offer. You will do well taking this class as indicated by everyone rating him whether good or bad but will have to put in effort",

Homework scheme is completely horrendous, you could type the right answer and get no credit. \n\nHe is also a bit insensitive, making comments about students facial expression and comments about his expectations of students based on their cultural or religious identity.",

Yes the HW is a lot but this is a 5-credit course which should be expected. You will be fine if you show up, put in the effort, and engage with the class. ",

He explains everything beautifully.  if the students didn't finish the homework on time Professor Tarek accepts late homework, he is very respectful and kind. I enjoy going to his lecture and I can't wait for the next semester to do Arabic ARI 2 with him again!!!!",
