Love Dr. Salhi! He is a little unpredictable and goes by he beat of his own drum, but I LOVED his class. He is so passionate about the arabic subject and culture, which makes class interesting. I won't be having any conversations soon but I can recite two Arabic poems!!!

He's a nice guy, it's fun to be in the class, but if you really want to learn how to speak Arabic this is not the class. We started by reading from a childrens book about seasons & spent the 2nd 1/2 of semester memorizing poetry. Very, very little emphasis on writing. Zero emphasis on actual conversation or vocabulary or sentence structure.

Would take again

for the whole class we only read 2 books one of them was 11 pages and the other he made it different sections so barely any reading, He is a slow grader but he rounds up the grades big time if u got a 60 he will give u a 75. he answered emails fast and overall wish I could take more classes with him.

Literally such a confusing class, it's not an English class he pulls stuff out of left field to grade you on. Almost as if his purpose is to make you feel terrible about your work. At first he was kind, it was not until we started assignments he became a degrading and terrible professor.

This class with Professor Salhi can be a mixed bag. While he's a tough grader, the workload is manageable, and unstuck AI can be a helpful study tool. If you stay on top of the work, you can get a solid grade.
