- **MCOM 216 · 5/5 · 2020-09** — Sarah Hamdar's MCOM 216 is a very interesting course covering crowd psychology, campaigning, and public opinion, without a lot of workload; working hard and following along in class earns a great grade.

- **MCOM 203 · 4/5 · 2022-06** — 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.

- **MCOM 203 · 4/5 · 2022-04** — Sarah Hamdar grades MCOM 203 fairly, but students have to put in a lot of effort to earn those grades.
