She is not a strict grader, you get what you deserve, you just solve the way she wants you to. Good luck! - **2020-07** — She’s actually pretty good tbf, her explanations are good and solves exercises in class. However her grading seems to be strict - **2020-07** — She is so good in explaining i really liked her but she is a little bit strict - **2020-07** — Explains well w she's ready to repeat and help you but you have to arrive to class on time w don't use your phone - **2020-03** — Her explanations are good and solves exercises in class. However her grading seems to be strict - **2020-03** — Very good explanation and she's ready to repeat and help you. You just have to arrive to class on time and don't use your phone. - **2020-03** — Needs practice and a good amount of work. Grades in the 80s are achievable - **2019-08** — If you can, try to register with someone else. She's very strict, her teaching style takes you back to school days, and definitely not fair grades. You could have solved everything correctly but you made a slight calculation mistake in the end and she will still take away the whole mark. She explains fine. I wouldn't recommend her - **2019-08** — Imad is great overall - **2019-08** — She might be strict in class sometimes, but she explains really well! If you show her that you're paying attention and that you're interested and practice a lot you will be more than fine. The course is easy. - **2019-08** — Great! She's amazing at explaining but she's strict and as for grading, if u do EXACTLY what she says, u're fine - **2019-08** — just don't come late to the classes and you'll be in the safe side. She is a good but strict person! - **2019-08** — Strict but really good - **2019-08** — Imad high grades, Rita good explanation - **2019-08** — imad, ull get grades with him and his explaination is okaay ## See also - [All Business courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/business.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
