Contemporary Studies

Aida is a rude and mean old lady. If she doesn't like you, your time in class will be very frustrating as she tends to harass the ones she doesn't like. She has strict class rules such as not being allowed to shake your leg. She also does not like students disagreeing with her or challenging her. Other than that, she tells you what will be on the exam and the material is interesting. If you enjoy class discussions, I don't recommend you take with her. She does not let you speak your opinion and tends to cut you off. All in all, the course is easy but she is just rude and annoying. Her teaching style is very old and outdated.

I've only taken with Peter he's an amazing human being but it's really difficult to understands what he wants from his students and he's the king of going off on tangents which makes his lectures hard to follow lol

Extremely unpleasant and vile person to take the class with. Super opinionated and will cut down anyone who has different ideas. She's not even that good with grading, unless you kiss ass. Do yourself a favour and and take it with a different professor.

one of my favorite courses the material is so interesting and easy and it doesn't even require studying. I didn't study before both of my exams and I got 89 on both, but I think it depends more if she likes u or not so make sure to participate a lot in class and show her that you're interested and well-read ab the material.

I took cvsp 205 with christopher. He is the sweetest and all you have to do is study the notes HE provides and boom.... an 85> on the exam

The instructor is nice. You will learn some Interesting topics

Take the course with her for sure. Her class is super interesting and she tells you to highlight what will come in the exam.

It is easier to get high grades with her than other instructors if you care about the grades.

Instructor is sweet, but you gotta work a bit hard to get high grades.

Great instructor, easy course

It is an easy and chill course with her

As a whole, she is very good in the way she delivers her lectures and the exam format. Low workload and extremely chill. However, she can become a bit annoyed depending on her mood. As long as you stick to her good side, you'll survive the class and get high 80s to low 90s.

Aida Arasoghli’s classes are very interesting, and she is very knowledgeable + she’s a fair grader and does a make-up quiz if you do not do well in the midterm. Workload is minimal (you study 1 or 2 days before the exams).

I took 204 with Dr Nassar, and if you’re the type of student who enjoys thorough in-class discussions, he is not your guy. But if you’re the type of student who can transcribe every analysis/comment he mentions in class and deliver them to him coherently in his exams, you’re sure to get a pretty decent score. Personally speaking, I thought he was one of the sweetest human beings on earth, very caring, very considerate, but I never felt that the discussions we held in class were intellectually stimulating (in all fairness and respect to Prof Nassar).

both excellent. Bornedal higher grades, less workload and much less studying but more boring

she’s really good and very fair. She doesn’t give that much workload and you can easily get very high grades on her quizzes ?

I think it's easier to get higher grades with Aida if you care much about grades. Baasiri is sweet, and you gotta work a bit hard to get high grades.

Hayat she’s an old bat. If she likes more than good, do the readings interact a bit and you’ll be fine. Just try not to get on her bad side.

Aida 0 workload and low or mod 80s grade ensured with minimal effort

Aida for sure. Her class is super interesting and she tells you to highlight what will come in the exam.
