Dr. Chaaban is one of the most experienced, intelligent, and qualified professors I have had. He always came to class prepared and willing to discuss any mass comm topic. Although his exams amd papers are difficult, he is very fair in grading students. He is always willing to help.

An Excellent professor. Always willing to hep out. Please take him if you want to learn how to present speeches using tehcnology

You will definitely learn how to give extemporaneous speeches and using powerpoint effectively. Take him to learn about presentations. Does not like students who come late or miss class. Overall, he is an excellent professor.

Excellent professor. He is very clear in all assignments and even gives examples of everything. Easy course, but you have to go to class. Very generous if u miss class on a teat day with en excuse. Good class!!!

He makes you to really work for the grade. If you are just looking for an easy A and do not want to learn, do not take him. If you want to learn and work hard for your A or B, then I will strongly recommend him. Always clarify assignments with him.

I find the lectures to be very useful in completing assignments and other class projects. Make sure you ASK for help if you need it. He will do his best to help you out. Assignments can be difficult, but follow his directions and the handbook. I will recommend him.

Dr. Chaaban is a very nice professor who knows a lot about media systems and mass communciation. He gives excellent examples and tries hard to make lectures interesting. COmpleting his small assignments are a treat and very easy. Study for his exams, he can be difficult there.

I have taken almost 4 classes with Dr. Chaaban from comm 456 to comm 100 and I find him to be a very knowledgeable professor in the field of communication. He is very laid back and enthusiastic in his teaching.He is a winner, take him, especially for mass communication courses.

Very helpful and easy class as long as you show up to class.

A very fair and dedicated instructor. Go to class and make sure you talk with him if you need help. Definitely take him.

He is very fair and easy to talk with. I like him because he lets you know what is expected of you and makes sure everyone understands the assignments. I strongly recommend him for Comm 101.

I really loved this class. We learned a lot especially how to give speeches. He guided us through the outline and presentation. He makes you relax and very comfortable while giving speeches.

he grades pretty tough. but he's really friendly and tries to be helpful.

A very nice and polite instructor. He is tough, but really fair and make sure everyone understands the assignmnets. Talk with him about assignments and he will help you a lot. One of my favorite professors.

I have looked at most of the commnets about this guy, but I have to say that he is one of the best I have had. sometimes, he can be hard on grading, but you learn a lot. very friendly and funny and always willing to help students. I storngly recommend him,especially for comm 100.

i really enjoyed the class

1 of the weirdest profs ever. he's not very hard, but has a strange grading system that screwed many ppl over. u start w/100 pts. he deducts a pt for every pt u lose on a test/quiz/assignment. ex. a 10/20 on a test, he will take the 10 pts off of ur class grade and keep deducting as u lose points. if u did good in comm 101 u'll do fine.

His assignments are fun and challenging and sometimes very interesting. He can challenge you with his questions, but always prepare to answer. He is always willing to help out, especially if you need help.

great sense of humor! random pop quizzes. answers on matching section are always in order! fun class!

He's a fairly easy professor who definitely knows his stuff. Also has a very strange sense of humor... Be aware guys, he's really big on attendence. I was 90% of the time late to his class and i believe that's why I had a C as my final grade while others had B's or A's. He'll make fun of you for any reason! As long as you put effort in you'll be ok

I really loved the class. Very fair and funny. He is big on attendane, but is very understanding if you explain it to him. I worked hard and learned a lot in his class.

TAKE HIM!!!! He is the best professor ever. He is very sweet. The class was simple and straight forward. The tests was made up entirely from the notes in class. You will not regret it!

i loved dr. chaaban! he has a quirky sense of humor and is a really sweet guy! the class was really easy, and he's a pretty easy grader..(most of the time). i'd definitely like to be in another one of his classes.

Dr. Chaaban was very caring and helpful. His lectures are very organized and ver helpful, especially for presentations. He will make sure every student is ready for the presentation before we did them. I recommend him. Be ready to learn and work hard.

To all those who fear speaking in public, please take him. He is the most relaxed and helpful professor out there. Let him know if you are nervous or need help and he will accommodate you. I really liked his style of teaching.

I strongly recommend Dr. Chaaban. He is very big on attendance and is willing to help you if you show up for class and shows the effort. He is really funny and very sweet. I love his examples, althought they can be many.

Inter-Personal Comm... He is a cool professor. Attendance is required - after 2 missed classes, he lowers your grade one letter for every missed day. Only two projects - one individual paper and one group paper/presentation. He's an easy teacher but has an old-fashioned perspective when he talks about relationships between men & women

He is just the best. Very helpful and always willing to help students. Can be hard on grading but everyting is clear. Take him and you will enjoy his class a lot.

Very good professor. He made the speeches easier to do by using his improv activities. He like to pick on students but it is out of fun not out of hate of the student so no worries.

yea,he picks on students but it's all out of fun &he's not mean at all! Very nice and helpful :) Pay attention in class... Attendance is Mandatory,u can miss 2classes but then after that ur grade will drop.outlines are a PAIN&he's a little hard on grading them unless its like the example format.I hated speeches before but he really helped me out!

The best professor I have every had. He is very nice and helpful. He makes sure you get the material and always willing to help. Talk with him and you can succeed.

He really breaks the ice in his classes. He is funny and finds somthing about everyone that can give them confidence or an introduction that takes the worry off your sholders when presenting. I enjoyed his class so much. The final presentation wasn't as great though.

I had always wanted to learn about different cultures and Dr. Chaaban gave so many examples and made is a lot easier for me to udnerstand different cultures. He is fair and always willing to read papers before they are submitted. I loved his style of teaching and he is a wonderf professor.

I had Dr. Chaaban for both Comm305 and 335 and he was just the best. He makes the lectures very easy to follow and very organized. You must come to class and do the work. He encourages everyone to participate and do well. I will take him for another class--I like his teaching.

I really enjoyed the class with Dr. Chaaban. His TA was very helpful and Dr. Chaaban was always trying to help us understand the key concepts. I did not like the individual paper but he reviewed it for me and I got an A. The course is very informative and he conveyed the material very well.

Simply the best. Makes you laugh and work at the same time. Very helpful, especially when you ask him for help. Do no not miss class. He is ig on attendance. He rocks:)

I really dad fun in his class. He was very helpful and easy to talk with when I had problems. Definitely take him if you want to learn and enjoy the course.

I am taking him this semester, so far, he is excellent. His lectures are very clear, to the point. Hen is very friendly and willing to help. He is always challening students.

One of the most caring professors I have taken. WHen I came to him for help, he explained all the assignments and made sure I understoond them. His TA is very helpful also. I recommend him.

I like the fact that he challenges everyone in his class to answer questions and yes, he is not an easy grader or a push over. He goes by the syllabus and very helpful when you need help. He is my favorite professor this semester.

Very interesting and educated. He is very knowledgeable and willing to help. Strong background in the field of communication. Take him and you will enjoy his class and appreciate him.

If you did not enjoy his class, it means you skipped class and did not read the book and assignments. Everything you need to know about assignments is in the book. He is so funny and caring. Very interesting class lectures. I like him teaching style a lot.

For the two previous comments, I strongly believe that because he challenged the class with his exams with not just easy questions, they do not like him. One of the best and most caring faculty member I know. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Strongly recommend him.

He was my favorite. Very clear syllabus--look it up online. Answers questions and always willing to help. Yes, he has an accent, but so are we all. Take him and you will enjoy his class. Very caring instructor.

Hard class, need to read a book before you go to class because you will have quiz ever time when he finishes each chapter. cannot open note or book while taking a quiz. hard to get A on the class, regret that i take him this semester.

One of the better, more interesting comm professors. Those who bash him are lazy and bad writers. He creates a comfortable class atmosphere by encouraging discussion. He might make some uncomfortable calling on them, but it forces people to participate and make the class interesting. Definitely take his class.

His expertise, knowledge, and experience, make him a very interesting instructor. His examples and definitions make it easier to understand key concepts. I really enjoyed the class a whole lot.

Those who said his lectures are boring never came to class. His lectures are interactive and not just talking. He calls on students to participate and makes his class very interesting.

I just want to say that Dr. Chaaban took his time on a weekend to go over our paper. He was so helpful and went out of his way to meet with me group at Borders. No instructor will do that. Thanks Dr. Chaaban---you are great.

He is very organized, lectures are very, very organized. One of the few instructors who give out his notes. He goes out of his way to help students succeed. I love the class and his teaching style. Always willing to meet and help students.

Dr. Chaaban is very accessible both in person and via email. He responds to email and very helpful when students have questions. I appreciate his time spent to review our papers.

Your excellent job in teaching is highly appreciated. I learned a lot and gained a lot of information from you.

He ROCKS:) He CARES:) He is ENTHUSIASTIC about the subject:) He is very itneresting and caring. Excellent professor and easy to deal with. I have an A, but I worked for it. Do not take him if you need to be in kindergarten. Only ADULTS:)

It looks like the person who keep writing bad comments about Dr. Chaaban is a cry baby who just wants easy grade and pass. Hey, college is for adults who want to work and earn, not complain about grade. I love Dr. Chaaban's class. I am in his 4:30 class and come visit us if you are not lying. Everyone, I mean, everyone, loves him:)

Take Dr. Chaaban if you want to learn and work. He is absolutely the best you can have for COMM305. Very knowledgeable and caring. I love every bit of his class.

He's a nice guy who cares about his students. Show up to class or he won't be happy. Read the chapters before the tests and you'll be fine.

The class was interesting and he like to have everyone involved. There exam's were straight from what he taught, but you will need to read the chapters. 3 multiple choice exams, 1 book review (his autobio), & 1 group project. Also there are weekly homework assignments on blackboard. He doesn't check hw all the time so you can turn it in late.

AWESOME Professor! Every class was intriguing and he kept things alive and interesting, especially since it was a night class. Great class, really enjoyed it a lot. For all tests just study the definations and you'll pass.

This class was really boring. The material is so dry but Chaaban does a good job trying to make it interesting. There's 2 multiple choice exams, an individual research paper, and a group paper/presentation. He's not bad, but he's not great either. I would take him again if I had to

Amazing teacher! Makes class fun. Just make sure to attend class.

Material is pretty boring. He does a good job making things interesting with lots of discussion. Paper and group paper were fairly easy. His exams are ridiculous though. Super hard and study guides are not helpful.

He is an awesome professor. Finally a mandatory attendance class I wanted to attend. Just read the book while following along with the notes and you should be good to get an A. Take him if you actually want to learn something in college.

I love his online class. Work at your own pace and his autobiography gives you a clear knowledge of who he is and his own intercultural encounters. A wonderful professor who is always willing to help. I would take another online class with him.

This class was very interesting. Did not have to drive to school since it was an online course. I loved the assignments and the instructor;s promptness in answering email questions. I loved the course very much and his way of encouraging students to work.

I find Dr. Chaaban to be very easy to deal with, and always responds to my concerns. He is very quick with emails, especially when sent through Blackboard. I will take another course with him.

I really loved his online class. We get to work on our own. He answered his emails promptly and we very friendly. His assignments can be challenging, but very rewarding. A fantastic professor to have, especially for online course.

The best professor to have for intercultural communication. Very helpful and challenging.

I took Professor Chabaans class online and it was fairly easy. The only issue I had was with his group ptoject. Its an online class so it was a tad bit frustrating trying to get collaborate online. His exams were okay as long as you review the study guide and keep up with readings. Very nice teacher a well.

He's such a nice professor. Class is easy, you'll definitely need both of the books, one you'll write short one page essays on weekly and the other text you'll be quizzed on but it will be online in your own time. he does group activities and is really chill. his assignments aren't demanding and asks for your own opinion mostly

I loved his class. He helped me learn a lot about communication. A very helpful professor who made sure I was successful

He is the best faculty I have ever taken. Hands down. Very helpful. If you take an online class, you are teaching yourself and that is why it is called online. He is super helpful.

Although it is an online course, he is always willing to meet with his students. I had an issue and he made time for me. I really like the course and his teaching.

If you study the book, read the chapters, follow the directions, you will do very well on his course. Very friendly and send reminders every week. His assignments are very interesting.

The books are easy to read, the quizzes are every week and all OPEN BOOK. If you are serious, you will do very well in his course. He encourages everyone to work hard and is always helping students perform at their best.

This is the 2nd online course I've taken w/Chabaan. If you do the work ON TIME and post ON TIME, you won't have any problems. I thought his exams were tough, but would take him, again. Papers due weekly & he graded online discussions. Always available via email for help. Very text heavy, though but if you get the work done you'll be fine.

He simply rocks with his encouragements and the help he provides to students. On top of his emails and very friendly.

It was challenging, but very rewarding course. The professor was always there to help and give encouragements. He helped me a lot, especially in clarifying assignments. I would take him again. Very intelligent man with a great sense of humor

I love the course and the professor. His exams come from the book and not difficult at all. Always there to help you if you experience problems. Will definitely take him.

I took this course as well as 305 and I still remember material. I'm in graduate school now and I can tell you that he is a great resource. Some tests were challenging so you do have to know the terminology hands down. Great person and his course discussions I always liked.

Great professor! very funny lectures! I loved him! Better do all the quizzes tho, you never now when those 2 points can save your grade a bunch! Please come on time or be prepare cause if you come to class late, he will be very likely to ask you about random hard stuff from the book. also PLEASE don't miss class .

Dr. Chaaban is one of the professors that makes me proud to be a COMM major, and truly, actually cares and wants you to succeed not inside the classroom and outside. Don't be absent, though, because participation really matters to your success in the course. I took him for COMM 300 too, and His online exams are always tough but he curves them.

He is one of the most caring professors at GMU. I enjoyed taking his class and learned a lot. He is very caring and supportive. Take him you will love it.

I have now taken three courses with him and he is amazing. He is very helpful and always willing to work with you if you have problems. He sets the bar high, but makes you work hard. Read the directions for assignments and follow directions and you will be fine. He is great and I would love to take him again. Very friendly.

Simply amazing. Very friendly and willing to assist students. I find him to be very caring and wants students to succeed. Always ask him for help and he will do it.

This professor is one of the most caring professors. Always seek help and he will assist you. Assignments are sometimes not easy, but if you do your best, you will receive a good grade. I loved his class.

This was a class I did not want to take, but when I took it with him, it was easy and fun. Assignments are very easy. Exams can be challenging, but to get a good grade is easy. He is wiling to help.

I took COMM305 Online. Professor Chaaban seems very friendly and encouraging. The assignments are pretty strait forward. The quizzes and exams are timed. As long as you read the material it isn't too difficult. There are study guides for the exams that help a lot. I contacted him a couple times via email and got rather short, but helpful replies.

This professor is a very easy grader when it comes to the papers. It makes taking this class a lot less stressful. He is very good about grading assignments and being prompt. The quizzes are mostly easy, but the tests can be tricky even when it's open book.

He is one of the most caring and helpful professors. Whenever I needed help, he was there for me. He always sends out reminders and makes sure that students understand the course content. I will recommend him to all those who need COMM305.

I have to say that my fellow students sometimes do not make any sense. The comment above says class is self-taught. Well, that is why it is an online class. If you want to hear lectures, talk to other students, take a face-to-face class. I really enjoyed the class and loved the Discussion Board. The instructor was very fast with email responses

Dr. Naader is a great professor. He responds very quickly to emails. All the information is laid out. He gives out three exams. One group project. The study guides aren't useful at all. Overall, not a bad course if you keep up with all the work.

His syllabus seems too long and difficult, but once you read the assignments and do your work, the course is easy. Professor Chaaban is very caring. He is more inclined to help you if you ask for help. Do your work and read the directions and you will be fine. Quizzes are easy and very beneficial. This is the second class too with him.

Dr. Chaaban stepped in to teach my COMM 305 class because my now former professor had to step away due to personal issues. He usually teaches only online classes and seems like he knows his stuff. I'm taking him for another COMM class online next semester. I recommend him.

I took intercultural communication with him online and it was super easy. I highly recommend. You should buy the textbooks because he references them often.

An excellent professor in the subject matter who goes beyond his way to help students. I completely forgot about an exam and he allowed me to take it. very nice and easy to deal with. Assignments are very helpful and spread out through the semester.

I have taken three courses with him and he is great. I wish he teaches more COMM courses. Easy to deal with and and easy grader. Working on the project was very rewarding and easy. I got an A.

Taking COMM302 with him was very interesting. I learned a lot about media functions and effect. His assignments are easy to complete, but thought provoking. He has weekly Discussion Board items that are thought provoking and easy to do. I got perfect scores on them. I will take another class with him. Easy grader on papers and project.

I really enjoy his COMM302 course. Very friendly and easy to talk with when you need help. Gives you many chances to improve your grade in the course. He has many assignments and Discussion board to make sure the class interacts with one another. I will definitely take him again. Very easy grader.

He is just one of those teachers who challenges you to make sure you challenge yourself. I reapply appreciated his feedback and encouragement. He was very quick with his responses to my email. He is easy to reach and always ready to help. I will take more courses with him.

I took his class with the hope of learning about intercultural communication and I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot and he assignments are challenging, but very rewarding. he is always ready to help and very quick in grading assignments. Students who complain about him just do not want to do the work.

IF you do the work and follow the directions, you will be fine. He gives detailed directions and makes sure you are on track with the assignments. Do not hesitate to ask him for help. He is very helpful, especially when it comes to group projects and exams. Very dedicated professor to his class.
