THE CLASS IS BARABLE, IF YOU PUT IN THE TIME YOU'LL BE FINE. HE IS INDEED A GREAT PERSON. IF YOU TALK TO HIM AND SHOW THAT YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GRADE HE WILL HELP YOU OUT IN EVERY WHICH WAY TO ATTAIN WHAT YOU WANT TO EARN.

Prof. Ali is an enjoyable teacher. His tests are a bit challenging, but he grades on a curve, so you will do fine if you attend class.

He is extremelly wise and knows what he's teaching.If you need help he will be ther for you. If you talk to him, he'll be more than willing to hear you out and do what is best for YOU. At 1st the class will intimidate you, but at the end you'll learn and acknowledge that it was an good class.

great teacher. knows what he is talking about. just as long as you do you do your own writing you will be fine. and is is very easy on the eyes if you catch my drift!

Professor Ali is very smart and knows his stuff. In class we discuss interesting topics and I am learning alot. I find Professor Ali to be very arrtactive!!! I think it is his eyes, but I am always a good listener and I never miss class:). Oh, and he is very approachable and funny!

This guy is dope, i started out with a b than dropped down to a D beacuse i messed up on a test. He was so undersatnding. I ended up with an A on my final and in the class. The whole class and tests are common sense.. so if u dont have common sense and are unable to use ur brain to think about ur own ideas, then dont take the class. rocafella recor

Prof. Ali is extremely intelligent and he knows a whole lot about everything. I thought his class was interesting but at times long. Overall he was great!! I suggest taking him, he is willing to work with you for late assignments and willing to talk to you about anything. I would recommend taking him for anything!!

Ali is so interesting, tough tests, but I have learned so much in his class. He is also quite funny. He can be scatter brained with scheduling but I have really enjoyed having him as a professor.

I hated him at first. As the sem. went along I began to really enjoy the discussions and looked forward to them. As a female, I didn't see him as a flirt and extremely professional. He took a genuine concern that I'd missed a few assignments eventhough I never went to his office. He's my favorite prof in LBST. I learned a lot with him. (I got a B)

I really enjoyed this class. Though he may have been a bit unorganized at times, his lectures were always interesting. LBST 304 was a challenging class, but with Professor Ali teaching, I learned so much.

I dont know why people are complaining about him. His class was so easy. I didn't want to take it, and I was going to drop it, until I realized I never had to be there and passed with a B. Just do all the writing assignments and the class is gravy. The class is all just based on your opinion about stuff. Easy

lots of essay/journal writing

HERE'S THE TRUTH: i've taken him 2x's now (by choice). yes, he is disorganized, a flake and very vague. buuuut, he is a good teacher. let me explain: he cares if you care. if u care about ur grade, he will bend over backwards to get you a good grade. he loves to help his students. just get to know him and you will see he's actually a great teacher!

He's a great teacher. He know's his stuff. Don't buy all the text books, I only used one and the other 5 were never used. Attendance is a must and you must type/write fast because he scribbles on the board as he talks. Keeps you in class until class is over. Don't expect to get out early even if he says it. LOL Test are difficult but he is always willing to help. He was always on time..never more than 5 minutes late. I'd take him again.

he is a best teacher everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

iF YOU DO THE WORK, AND PAY ATTENTION YOU WILL DO FINE. UNLESS HE DOESNT LIKE YOU. IF HE DOESNT LIKE YOU HE TREATS YOU LIKE A MORON, IN THAT CASE YOU PROBABLY ARE. ANYWAY HE WAS REALLY AWESOME TO LOOK AT ALL SAMESTER AND I FOUND MYSELF ACTUALLY LEARNING SOMETHING VALUEABLE. IF YOU TAKE HIM BE PREPARED TO WORK AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. HE IS ALWAYS LATE

Prefessor Ali is great!! Subject may be challenging if you don't attend lectures. Overall explains really well and replies e-mails promply. In addition, he's got a good sense of humor.

yes, he is pretty hot for a teacher. No tests, but essays. Make sure you do all the essays or you'll be behind. Doesn't grade hard on the essays. Dont buy the small book, we used the big book all the time

Ali Jawad is the best teacher at CSUF. His lectures are fun, entertaining and sexy. His eloquent tone gives me a Banana Boner.

He forgets things, but he grades relatively quickly and is pretty funny. He cares about the subject and really wants to help his students. He's not totally hot -- he just dresses very Los Angeles. His class is wonderful if you attend and pay attention.

alot of people dropped the first couple of weeks because he made it sound like there would be a lot of papers. like 9 papers with the final paper being 30 pgs.reality check we wrote 5 papers longest one 10pgs.He is very helpful and provides lots of resources for your paper.Just do what he wants and argue with him in class and you will be fine.

He is a very good teacher only if you actually pay attention all hours and watch the documentary's. You only door poor if you don't put any effort into it. He has a lot of good ideas I wish everyone really should hear and be educated on.

IDK why people are complaining, like the person that got a B and said don't take him lol. I ALSO received a B and thought the class was so easy. And interesting, we went into discussions more than "lecture" and took grammar quizzes. Turned in like 3 papers/short summaries of documentaries. NO FINAL:) Take him at night! Easy going mood

Professor Ali was one of the best professors I've had during my time at CSUF. He is enthusiastic about the subject and keeps students involved. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you'll want to attend the class anyways. Don't get the textbook.

Many students thought he was intimidating the first day of class. Don't let it scare you the first day. His class was interesting and made you really think about current issues. The more you talk in class the better it will be.

This professor was awesome, by far my favorite professor at CSUF. he challenges you to think and debate however he does tend to get off topic and his handwriting is hard to read but this guy is witty and smart. If you ever have any questions just go to his office hours and he'll help you a lot and strike up a great conversation! I <3 Ali!

Ali is amazing!!! You don't have to go to class but you will want to. Don't let him intimidate you the first day. Go to his office hours. He's a really interesting and BRILLIANT guy and if you build a relationship with him he will be a great resource for your entire time at CSUF and after. One of my favorite profs ever, love him!

I love Professor Ali! He is my favorite teacher at CSUF! He comes across intimidating to some people, but I think he is very approachable. He is very sarcastic! He'll make you feel dumb at times, but it's funny! Just don't take his comments personally. I enjoy his classes! They are always entertaining and informative!

Prof. Ali's liberal studies 301 class is probably one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. That being said, I believe everyone should be required to take at least one class with him. He is very helpful, but still expects a lot from his students. After taking his class, I can now write a decent 15 page paper in a week.

Professor Ali has a unique teaching style. He's intimidating at first but stick it out. His lectures are interesting and pretty entertaining. He challenges his students to critically think. Three 10-15 research papers and grammarcritically thinking quizzes once a week. He's not strict with deadlines and helps you with your papers. TAKE HIM!

His hotness comes from his knowledge. He is brilliant! His class syllabus is useless. he changes it all the time, but follow his lead and you will do fine. No test! Just papers. You will want to go to class, his lectures are interesting. I have been here 4 semesters now and he is still my favorite professor at CSUF

Jawad makes this really tedious class a lot of fun. There are three lengthy papers, but he is really good about working with you and and making sure you are organized. This is one class and professor I can truly say I learned a LOT from. Your writing will improve a lot and it's fun to be taught by someone so extremely intelligent and passionate.

8 page papers required for this class. Don't get the textbooks unless he tells you to. He's very smart and talks about interesting things. Great professor!

Amazing professor. Easy class. Assignments are easy. No tests. Attendance is not required unless you're presenting.

professor ali is a very interesting man with a lot to say and it is obvious that he is very knowledgeable. his lectures were always super interesting and had the class thinking in different perspectives. we had a paper due once a week (1-2 pages), one midterm (4 pages; one page per question), and a 6-page final. I think every one ended with an A.

Weekly 1 page papers EASY! Presentation EASY! Final is a paper SUPER EASY. Midterm is a paper SUPER EASY almost everyone got an A. I only missed one day of his class. He is a very nice and understanding professor. He is very helpful and inspirational. TAKE THIS CLASS EASY A! The beginning seems hard, but stick with it. EASIEST CLASS EVER

Jawad is very intelligent. Sometimes, his lectures would bore us to tears, but he has this straight-forward sense of humor that few would have understand. To me, he was hilarious. Our grade ultimately depended on a take-home midterm, a 5 minute speech, and a final. Only used the textbook once. Overall, a great professor.

Professor Ali is very smart and shows that in his lectures. He is very interesting to listen to during lecture. His classes are not mandatory, but make sure to do all the assignments he gives. He assigns one SMALL writing assignment each week and two papers. The class is very easy to pass!

Jawad is human, so his teaching style and overall class structure isn't perfect, but what he lacks in traditional format, he makes up for in getting students to really think outside of their normal mindset. He's a great person to have a conversation with, though he always seems in a rush to get out of class (even more so than his own students).

Professor is a good guy. We dont do a lot of what the syllabus said, but had quality discussions about life. Make sure you do all the assignments and youll get an A.

Professor Ali is intimidating, but truly smart. His class is not easy if you dont work for it. You have a total of four papers in his class, each 8-10 pages. He is very flexible with due dates and really wants you to succeed, but you need to communicate with him. He challenges you a lot in class, so dont be intimidated when he calls on you. Take!

Very lecture heavy but overall a pretty easy class since he is an easy grader, Lots of reading articles and discussion boards. Also he randomly calls on people in class.

Professor Ali really cares about his students and what he teaches. The class is mostly discussion based and he encourages participation from the whole class. Our course comprised of weekly online discussion boards, a midterm essay, and a final research paper and presentation.

Very smart professor who doesn't bullshit. He will go up there and have real conversations with his students that allow us to think critically and differently. He makes his class passable by showing up to class and engaging with the material. This is my second time taking him for a class and would 100% take him again!!

Very easy course we just talked about AI the whole semester weekly activities and honestly the only interesting class I had this semester I enjoyed going to class

90% of assignments were just doing 1 discussion a week and there's a final paper & presentation due at the end of the semester. Easy class, just do all the assignments
