## Student reviews

3 of 3 reviews, written by students who took the course.

- **2020-07** — Dr. Faraj is very well versed on the material he gives and he's truly passionate about chemistry. His courses are usually very interactive. He insists on making every student go up to the white board to participate. He posts study guides on moodle to help you around with mastering the material. He tells you exactly what he expect from you; no tricks. He also shares several previouses online and he includes some of the questions in the exam. He expect you to do readings around the material from the book and from papers he shares with you, but everything is guided so don't worry. He holds drop quizzes quite frequently, but they're usually easy to answer. Even grade wise he's very fair. He's genuinely one of the best chemistry professors I've encountered at AUB.

- **2020-07** — Didn't like the instructor. Course is interesting

- **2020-07** — He's good and he explains the material really well
