She's been amazing in regards to attendance due to power and internet cuts. Workload only got a little intense by the end of the semester, so when we had to submit our final report with the presentation and progress report. If you put in the work you CAN get a grade in the 90s. - **2020-08** — Useful course. Moderate to high workload but the professor is kind and gives grades. - **2020-04** — She's great and would definitely recommend - **2020-04** — She is a fair grader, very sympathetic and lenient, her classes were so fun because there are always interactions, she prompts participation also. But she had some tough workload - **2020-04** — She's an awesome teacher. You learn a lot from her. She expects high quality of work in 206 and she's very meticulous about the details in your final report. Most students get 80's, which is not bad. - **2020-04** — I highly recommend her. Great instructor - **2020-04** — she's really good at what she does. She doesn't give a lot of workload throughout the semester, but expects high quality work when she does. Grading wise, she gives a bit lower than other teachers though.. She'll help you every step of the way if you show her you're willing to learn. I highly recommend her. - **2020-04** — Highly recommended. Her workload is very manageable - easy assignments that she's always ready to help with and she actually tells you to meet her so that she can show you what to improve so you don't even have to ask for it. She's also super nice as a person and is generous when it comes to grades and deadlines (she isn't strict about moodle submission deadlines), and she's a fun person who does a pretty good job at making a class like engl 206 as interactive and fun as possible, rather than making you feel like a robot - **2020-04** — Great atmosphere, close to no workload and good grades. the teacher is great too - **2020-04** — Her classes aren't very boring, she is friendly and understanding if you want more time for an assignment. You can always pass by her office to improve your assignment before submission.There is some workload but this is normal in 206. In summer, we had 2 small quizzes in class, yet they were easy. She is also a fair grader. - **2019-11** — Best ENGL 206 teacher. I got 86 and the average is usually 90 but she pushes it down to 85.. But there is a lot of work! - **2019-11** — She gives a lot of assignments but she gives grades! - **2019-11** — Jasmina Najjar is amazing! - **2019-11** — She barely gives any workload and you can get 90 easily ## See also - [All English courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/english.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
