## What students said

Reviews are shown without their authors' names.

- **PHIL 210 · 5/5 · 2023-08** — Mahmoud El Hassanieh is a very understanding and chill professor for PHIL 210; his exams are usually short and easy, though there are typically reports in addition to the (usually three, in summer) exams. Highly recommended.

- **PHIL 210 · 4/5 · 2022-04** — A student who took PHIL 210 with Mahmoud El Hassanieh really enjoyed the course.

- **PHIL 210 · 5/5 · 2022-04** — Mahmoud El Hassanieh is named as the best professor for PHIL 210.

- **PHIL 210 · 2/5 · 2022-01** — Students respond discouragingly about PHIL 210 with Mahmoud Hassanieh, warning that the experience only gets worse as the semester goes on.

- **PHIL 201 · 3/5 · 2023-04** — Mahmoud Hassanieh taught PHIL 201 with easy exams — a midterm paper and a 1500-2000 word final paper on an argument of your choice from class topics — though the reviewer felt there are better philosophy courses to take.

- **PHIL 201 · 4/5 · 2022-08** — Philosophy 201 with Mahmoud El Hassanieh is recommended as an easy elective.

- **PHIL 201 · 3/5 · 2022-07** — Some students joke that befriending Mahmoud El Hassanieh or inviting him for a coffee can help boost your grade in PHIL 201.

- **PHIL 201 · 3/5 · 2022-07** — Mahmoud El Hassanieh is sweet and considerate about missed classes in PHIL 201, but takes participation and attendance seriously (15% of the grade); his classes can get boring, and his grading is fair but not generous.

- **CAA 101 · 2023-01** — The explanations in class were fully verbal with expections such as sometimes writing some words on the board which is a downside but he tried his best to explain and repeated frequently. But, he is extremely understanding when it comes to accommodations and extending the time for papers and he understands fully.

- **PHIL 210 · 2020-04** — He's really cool, you'll enjoy his class and the class discussions, not very generous with grades but he's fair.

- **PHIL 210 · 2020-04** — Mahmoud is good, I would definitely advise the course with him

- **PHIL 210 · 2020-04** — Hassanieh is okay, low workload but kind of strict with attendance and participation. His classes are very interactive and gradewise I think he's acceptable
