## What students said

Reviews are shown without their authors' names.

- **ENGL 205 · 2022-07** — I love him he's so nice but his class is a bit boring, but grading wise, he's so lenient and generous.

- **ENGL 212 · 2020-08** — Currell is probably ,my favorite prof at AUB. His classes are always interesting, and this one is no different. The classes for this course are discussion-based, so it's always essential to do the readings in order to participate. The exams are also very manageable. Focus on the explanation in class, do the readings, and you'll be more than fine. Grades are also not hard to get.

- **ENGL 212 · 2020-08** — Great professor

- **ENGL 212 · 2020-08** — David gives this course every Spring semester and the format is almost the same. We had 4 books to read (they change each semester). There is a written midterm after the first two books and it’s usually a mixture of mcq, essay, and short answer-questions. For the final, you have 3 options, either a paper, play, or exam. For the play, you would have to rehearse an act from one of the books and demonstrate it in front of an audience. You also have short response papers throughout. It’s a lovely course and the professor is an understanding person and fair grader.

- **ENGL 212 · 2019-08** — If you like Shakespeare, you'll have fun. Currell's classes are discussion-based,and you have 2 quizzes and a final paper. His quizzes include 5 multiple choice questions, 5 quotations ( you need to know which play they came from and why they are important) and a short answer question.

- **ENGL 212 · 2019-08** — Nassar isnt bad; As long as you take notes and kind of memorize them for your midterm, your good to go with Nassar. He does give high grades, and honestly it's an easy 80. But if you want to enjoy the course/ are an english major, i'd suggest you wait and take it with Currel
