The course is very interesting. You are required to complete 10 reading notes throughout the semester as well as 2 essays. High grades are obtainable if you show interest and understanding. - **2021-04** — The prof is amazing. There is reading before every session and you have to make 10 Note cards about the readings by the end of the semester. There is also Educational genealogy where you talk about your family educational history and then analyze and relate them to the course material+ Final exam. She is flexible and gives good grades. If you follow up with her, you will be OK. - **2020-08** — The prof is boring and not interactive, the material is nice but hard - **2020-04** — he is very nice and chill as a teacher and the course is interesting but when it comes to grading don't really expect high grades - **2020-04** — She is sweet and good with grades . The course consisted of a midterm and a final . You also have to present a project at the end of the semester (there are two types either a newspaper project for those who like to work individually or a field project where you work as a group) . One imp. thing is to read the articles in the book so you could have an idea about wt is being discussed in class . Never leave them to the last minute because they require time , you won't manage to finish them. Plus in the exams you have to show her that you've read because class notes alone aren't enough. Dr. Najla didn't post her slides on moodle so you have to be attentative in class. The course is a bit demanding but really interesting. - **2020-04** — Educ 211 is nice and Dr.Najla is sweet if you show interest. Take notes in class - **2020-04** — Not so easy course, instructor is great - **2020-04** — To me the course was very interesting but it's very demanding as well, I wouldn't suggest that you take it as an elective - **2020-04** — Nice instructor and easy course ## See also - [All Education courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/education.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
