MCOM 203 used to be very demanding, with many assignments, papers, projects, photos, videos, and a reality-show project, but the professor reportedly changed the format to just a midterm and a final with fewer assignments; the topics covered are interesting.
The MCOM 203 material is excellent for anyone interested in the Arab world and media, but it is not an easy course: there are weekly readings and the assignments require real effort.
MCOM 203 with Sarah Hamdar is an excellent course for anyone interested in Arab politics and media; there is no memorization but there are weekly readings and analysis, and she grades fairly.
Sarah Hamdar grades MCOM 203 fairly, but students have to put in a lot of effort to earn those grades.
Sarah Hamdar makes MCOM 203 very interesting and students learn a lot, but the course is not easy: daily readings and real effort are required. She grades fairly but expects that effort.
I'm taking it with her now. If you pay attention in class and do everything she says (without doing anything to get on her bad side), you'll be fine with her. But in general she's a tough instructor and she likes things done her way, so don't ever get on her bad side.
The workload with claudia is a bit heavy, you have to prepare something every time. But no homework will take u more than 20-25 minutes. Claudia isn't great with grading, she's a bit bias and mean in class, unless you get on her good side. Her teaching, slides, instructions and rubric are really clear.
claudia is good but you have to be very professional and serious with her, as long as you do that you won't have any problems with her
