The Formation of Islamic Thought

Highly recommended. Great professor. Also nice with grades and his classes are quite fun. He is truly an expert on the topic and is also a great human being. He assigns lots of readings but you could skip a significant amount if you have a background in Islam and pay attention in class. In terms of tangible workload expect at least one paper or something similar; in the last two courses I took with him we had two take-home exams rather than papers but another class I took before those courses had 3 papers and a midterm and a final but it seems he's abandoned those requirements. Regardless, his class is worth it if you're interested in learning more about Islam/Islamic history.

Interesting course, amazing instructor. You don’t have to put much effort throughout the semester and before exams just read the material or get a general idea of it from online sources with summary cause the texts tend to be a little long

It is very interesting and it gives you an idea on how Islamic sources are being carried on Through history. Zero workload but before exams you need to read or do research about his topics. Also focus in class
