He was a nice teacher. The work load wasn't as heavy as I thought it was going to be. His Test are just like the study guide and he tells you about pop quizzes the class before. Its an easy class if you just study.

Comment:

I'm currently taking his online PSC201 class. If I could give one piece of advice- WORK AHEAD. Lots of discussion questions for each chapter, and moves fast. If you read your notes and book and have the time to dedicate- you will do well. He is a little bias in his current events, but still a good/fair professor overall. Would take again.

DO NOT MISS CLASS, I REPEAT DO NOT MISS CLASS. POP QUIZZES ALMOST EVERY DAY. HEAVY LECTURING. However, if you devote your time to the class, you will do very well.

Comment:

If you do the work, you will pass this class, but it is a lot of work. I take pride in my work, but this was an obtuse amount of work. It was so much work, that I didn't have time to learn the material. I had to skim the parts required for the "short" essays. He also expects research on every "short" essay. Ridiculous.

Comment:

Overall great professor whom I would suggest to anyone! His lectures are wonderful (and sometimes entertaining), and he specifically states his expectations at the beginning of the course. He gives random pop quizzes at the beginning of some classes and is a fan of having 2 parts to each test, one multiple choice section and one essay.

Comment:

This is the worst class I've ever taken. There is a pop quiz everyday and he is the toughest grader I've ever encountered. His lectures are pure gibberish. He writes one word on the board and expects you to know what he's talking about. He is completely rude. Good luck figuring out what chapter you are on. Basically you have to teach yourself.

Be prepared to work hard and do lots of typing papers. He knows the content but can be intimidating. Even if you are trying to get by with a C be prepared to study your butt off. Only about 10% will get an A in his class.

Be ready for a pop quiz every day. Study your notes unless he tells you pop quiz is on page whatever. He does have a paper that is due in April but will go over it beginning of semester so if you need help you can get it.

This guy was ridiculous!!! Not only was he rude, he was unable to talk to without making you feel like a complete idiot! Very unprofessional for the department chair of Social Sciences!! I dropped his class before the mid-term! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!

Comment:

I'm confused as to why he has so many good ratings, because my encounter with Sabbagha has been everything but pleasant. The class is very hard and he is not forgiving when it comes to grades so if you want this for the easy A, take someone else. Shikre tends to be very rude and hard to approach. Some like him but personally I dreaded his class.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE ONLINE. It is very writing intensive and is not an easy class. It would not be as difficult if his questions were not so open ended and requiring hours of research for each question. He also wrote the book (which serves little help)this class is a required course for most,but he treats everyone like they are a history major.

Comment:

Do not take this class. Goes out of his way making every assignment as hard as he possible can. I learned absolutely nothing over the period in which I had him. I've written at least 20 essays for his class, and have learned absolutely nothing from them. Assignment after assignment, after assignment, after assignment. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

Great teacher, impartial judgment of students, with a fair grading rubric and precautionary measures for practically any misfortune that would delay the learning process. Best teacher I've had since the 5th grade, will definitely be taking again.
