he coulddo better if he would stop wasting time
The class is a standard composition class. He teaches you the grammar of writing and makes you write essays. The essays can be rewritten to get a full letter grade added. Lots of the things are taught in high school and even middle school, but that's the
so easy! i only had to write one paper.

Great Professor. Basic english class. class is not hard and reinforces previous things learned. Papers can be rewritten for a better grade. And students still expected to perform their best.
This class is very remedial for a college course, but Makki is very good and knows his stuff. There's no reason why you shouldn't pass and the discussions in the class are very interesting and make the comp part more bearable.
Very nice guy, really funny, who doesn't like him?! Class based on a few quizzes and papers, but its really easy stuff that you have probably learned already. He does make the class fun!
Great class
Show up to Class and Go Along with What he says. His Way or the Highway. Say what he wants to hear and Boom your there. The clASS is a fun time so enjoy. Gl G.

big **** doesnt help his students. doesnt even know how to talk good english
This TEACHER is very unfair. His grading is based on how well he likes you. He has no official grading scale, eventhough his syllabus says he does. His class is pointless. All i got out of it was a headace and new, I am pretty sure made up, words
Makki was a little wishy-washy for me. He is an okay grader, and he'll let you redo papers if you aren't satisfied with your grade.
This guy sucks. He is an idiot. Very easy to get an A, but you want to throw him off the casl roof when class is over
If you complain about Makki, you have never had a hard teacher. his papers are easy, class is not bad. dont even read you'll get at least a B
THIS IS THE WORST PROFFESSOR EVER. HE BASES EVERYTHING IN CLASS ON RELIGION. VERY UNCLEAR. IF HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU, YOUR SCREWED. DOESN'T GIVE A GOOD ESTIMATE OF WHAT GRADE YOU GOT TIL END OF THE SEMESTER, AND THEN WILL SCREW YOU OVER. DO WHATEVER U GOTTA DO TO NOT TAKE THIS GUY. I AM TELLIN YA.
The worst english professor by far. Do your self a favor and not take him, if he doesn't like you, you wont get a good grade, if you want a good grade and not worry about being judged for who you are then dont take this class
By far the nicest teacher ever. dont listen to what everyone says they're just all haters. i've never met anyone more easy going then him for gods sake he lets you do your papers over to get one full letter grade higher. Easy and easy going just go to class and you'll definetly get an A.
Get on this teachers good side and he'll take it easy on your papers when he grades them. Laugh at his jokes that are not very funny and talk to him whenever you can. He makes you write like 5 essays during the semester and you can revise them when you get them back. The essays are short and easy. T
Mr.Makki was a nice, fair teacher. He was easy, and understanding. Do not be swayed by angry comments...Show up to class and turn in your papers. Easy and simple.
He is awesome, just make sure you show up for class.
Fairly easy professor. Lets you revise most/all of the papers you write for a better grade. Sort of plays favorites, I don't like him personally because he made a few bigoted comments I didn't appreciate. Really boring, and he's only moderately funny, but overall an easy course.
Fun and easy class. Prof. Makki is a great teacher. Very helpfull. Go to class , take notes and laugh at his jokes.
Herowwww!!!!...this is all the guy says...non-stop!!!Good teacher but doesnt know english yet...what the heck is he doing teaching this class....Ask him all about Frankenstien...its a chuckle waiting to happen...
As long as your not the laziest person at this school, u should be fine. He lets you re-do your papers until you get an A, how can you complain about Prof. Makki?!
Mr.Makki is the best professor at UofM.He is the nicest guy and hes always cracking jokes in class.He is really easy to get along with, always lets u revise ur papers after you get them back. The lowest grade he will ever give out is a B and u get to revise it to get an A. I mean come on he rocks!
Makki is the man! Definitely take this professor. He is a funny guy that loves his job and his students.
Overall the class should considered easy...even tho he lets you revise papers 4 better grades, but i'd feel better if i could get A's the first time i write them, and that's AFTER gettin helps from the writing center ppl. I dont think he really reads the papers and he marks the littlest things wrong
Great guy. Funny. Helpful. Allows students to re-write papers. He takes the time to teach you how to do things. Wonderful professor
Awesome professor. Easy, easy, easy A. Revise all your papers and you don't even have to do well on the final to get an A in the class, especially if he likes you. Slightly hard to understand his English sometimes, but it doesn't matter. Don't bother reading material, no one does. Take this class!
HE is an awesome professor! You learn alot in his class! Alot of group work & H.W.! Alot of papers but very easy & clear! Show up to class & be prepared & you will have a guaranteed A! gives you extra credit opportunities at the end of the term
If english is your strong subject, stay away from this guy... you will be so frustrated with his incompetence that it will make you crazy. I'm sure that all the people who naturally suck at english are happy that this guy gave them an A, but he knows nothing outside of what the teachers manual says.
By far the best comp teacher at u of m. His class is a breeze and hes very nice and understanding. The class consisted of 4 papers and a final. You get to revise all your papers a grade higher. Take Professor Makki if you have a chance.
mr makki is by FAR the best comp teacher at uofm. there are quite a few papers in his class, but he always lets you redo them for a better grade. hes so nice, very helpful, and so funny! lots of group work & no one ever does the readings he assigned. all in all, great teacher!
Very Easy. If he likes you, you're in!
He is SO easy. He lets you rewrite every essay for 1 whole letter grade higher. He tends to not let class out early, but he is really fun and easy to get along with. He grades fast and fair, and is not picky at all. He is so easy its funny, take this class for an easy A.
This class sucks regardless of who you have, but this guy is pretty good. He is interesting and kinda funny.
Easy easy easy, boring...but easy, lets you rewrite paper for 1 whole letter grade or 2...
Class was very very easy, but professor was boring in class. Going to class was not important except that you lose part of your grade if you miss more than 3 days. Prof doesn't care if you are late though and is a very nice fellow.
Mr.Makki is an easy "A" professor. If you don't feel like trying to hard for comp 106, he's the one to take.
Boring class, lectures were horrible. Prof. Makki is a great guy, and is very easy going and wants students to succeed. I recommend him for COMP 106 for sure.
He's the perfect professor for the high school to college transition. Doesn't assign lots of reading and his papers are actually interesting to write.
He is very "high-schoolish." He gets mad if we leave to go the bathroom or take a phone call, and he's strict with attendance. But that was totally OK with me because he is SO easy. The essays are all very short and he lets you re-write for a grade higher. You just have to correct whatever he says to correct. It's an easy A.
A very simple minded dude. Easy. No prob with this him. DO IT. SAYS. SAYS.......he cant SAY it.
Makki is a very cool professor. We read some pretty interesting articles. The class can be very boring at times because he'll lecture about writing techniques, which are pointless. But what's good is that when he hands you back a graded paper, you can revise it for a full letter grade higher, which is just correcting everything he marks down.
Mr. Makki is a sweetheart. He's super sweet and likes to see you actually understand what he teaches. We read articles in the book that actually make you think and are interesting. I highly recommend him for any comp or english class. I'm taking him for comp 106 also.
This man is the cutest thing ever. The class is ridiculously easy, and the lectures can sometimes be boring, but I really liked him. He lets you revise three papers, and he only assigned three papers. Attendance is required, and he doesn't like when people carry side conversations in class. Easy going and friendly! I highly reccomend him!
Very easy class if you do what Makki says. The grading is not very strict and you can revise your first three papers for a whole grade. He is the easiest way out of Comp requirement
awesome prof, class is real easy, as long as you show up.
Easiest class ever. Show up, do all homework assignments, spend some time on papers, and be creative, and you will get a good grade. Longman's Writer's Companion is unnecessary..so don't get it. I highly recommend Professor Makki if you are looking for a good grade and a good blowoff.
I dount thing u should tak hm , the man is harda n nt learn too match i like him not lake thda
Don't take him because people say he is easy, take him because he is very helpful, kind, funny and most importantly you will walk away learning more then you expected. He is a phenomenal teacher, and an even better person. I have had him for 105 and 106 and he is simply the best.
Great Professor. Very straightforward with requirements, lets you rewrite first 3 papers for a grade higher. Material gets very boring but he's a funny guy and very helpful.
Simply the best. Makes class extremly fun. You'll always leave with a smile. As for the work; just put in some time. Its not very demanding but it does require you to work a bit when necessary. Highly Recomended!
Lets you redo essays to get a better grade. Very Easy and He is nice
This was the best comp class I have ever taken. His assignments are very reasonable, I wrote all four of my required papers 2 hours before class, got an 'A' on every one. Class participation is a must, usually its reading out of the textbook or answering simple questions about the reading. Show up to class, do your work and you will be all set.
Makki is the man. Great class that will keep you interested. He has a great personality but will make you write a few papers. Just show up, be friendly with him and you should get a good grade and something from the class.
Mak Attack is the man He loves it when you make up rap lyrics about him
Awesome professor. Teaches you what you need to know to write a research paper. First two (out of 4) papers you can revise, and I highly recommend doing this. He almost always gives you a full letter grade higher. Research paper was the worst, but the rest of the class is a breeze!
Makki is sweet! Awesome, really funny, and nice guy. Class was easy, just have to show up or itll impact your grade. I will def. take him for 106! Alot of reading from the book..watched "I am Legend." 4 papers and an online final..He lets you redo 3 of them. TAKE HIM and you wont regret.
Professor Makki is an easy professor but his lectures are very boring. As long as you contribute in class and complete all of your assignments you should get an A. Just make sure that you stay awake during his lectures.
You?ll write five papers including the final. The first three he allows you to revise for one letter grade higher. He spends a lot of time covering grammar from the Longman?s book and the next class you?ll discuss the material. Attendance is mandatory. He?s a very easy going teacher. Overall, he?s a great professor and I?m probably going to ta
what a body
Great professor! Great sense of humor. Fun class, easy grader. You also learn a lot. If u do bad on a paper he lets u revise it for an extra like 15 points! I highly recommend him!!
Amazing teacher! Fun class, easy to get an A! He's a great guy with a great sense of humor! Take his class if u can!!
Best professor everr!
Amazing class!
one word: delicious!
Just gives A-. Impossible to get an A
Professor Makki was a great teacher! He was knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and laidback. I would definitely take another one of his classes. Highly reccommended!
Although the beginning of the semester was easy and understandable, near the end, he gave more incomprehensive essay topics. For me, when I asked him what my grade would be, he said I had a C+ so might get a B- on my transcript. Why do I have a C on my transcript?
He was a nice professor, and he knew his material. He allows students to revise first 2 papers for a better grade. He does want students to speak up in class, and that does effect participation points. Good essay topics, enjoyed the class overall.
He is so adorable! As long as you make the effort to participate in class and do well on the essays, you will be fine. Got a solid A. Definitely recommended!
VERY helpful,funny professor!If you don't understand something ASK questions and he would be more than HAPPY to answer them!Read the chapters before class and participate in discussions and it will be smooth.Was able to revise papers,some were a letter grade higher.I would recommend him and will take him for Comp 106!Works with students very well.
Great professor. Only down side is that class is early. Tardies 3 count as 1 absence and you're only allowed 3 absences total all semester. I feel like he was trying to be a tough grader. I think I deserved a better grade, because I usually do very well. ...whatever. take him.
Makki is the best English professor I have ever had, hands down! He really works on developing your basic writing skills and he is an easy grader.
Professor Makki is the easiest comp teacher I have ever had. He is soo nice. The class is made up of 4 papers with no exams or final. He lets us redo our papers after they have been evaluated. Great teacher, take him if you want an A.
He's easy, if that's what you're looking for. Goes over the basics that you learn pretty much in middle school. But, he does make jokes and seems like a good guy. Not a hard or mean professor at all. Not a total disappointment but a semester of him is enough.
His accent is terrible! I don't know why they let him teach English! Makes you buy a grammar book then constantly corrects the book. The entire class is basically a review of middle school material. Essay topics are very vague and he doesn't really answer questions about them. Extremely easy class though. Wrote the essays in 30 min and got an A-.
He teaches things wrong and than marks us down points because the book says otherwise. he yells at the class and talks to us like we're in 1st grade. I felt like I was back in high school. I didn't learn anything from this class because he spent more time picking apart papers as opposed to teaching us how to be more efficient writers. Avoid.
He is not very clear with his expectations. His class is based off of 3 major papers and a bunch of in class assignments. Many people who received the same grades as me got higher grades on their transcripts. Hard to understand his accent and not a very nice teacher. I would avoid this class if I were you. He does not teach the material well at all
Amazing guy, Amazing teacher, pay attention in his class and you will learn a lot all you have to do is write around 9 essays for his class 4 of them are only 300 words the rest are around 600
Professor Makki is the man. He is a very cool teacher. He is always joking around and having fun with the class. Very lenient if you turn an assignment in late or if you mess up on a paper he gives you a chance to get some points back. This is the best teacher at UMD. I will be taking this teacher for every comp class I have throughout college.
Great guy and funny too!
Professor Makki is a very easy teacher. Think of a 9th grade English class, and Comp 105 with Makki is very similar. He is a very boring professor who does not really have expectations for his class. If you are looking to actually learn something useful, steer clear of this class. If all you want is an easy A, this is for you.
Best professor ever!!
He was the worst Professor I've ever had. He treats his students like middle schoolers and gives unnecessary amounts and restrictions on the work. If you like being treated like you're back in 9th grade and doing 50 surveys for a research paper and having to write our your assignments by skipping lines like in middle school, this is the man for you
He's pretty nice and the class is pretty easy. He allows you to revise your first couple essays to raise it a letter grade. Many Easy in-class assignments.
Extremely easy course. Gives straight forward directions. Only gives a handful of assignments, which he lets you revise for better grades. Attendance is necessary though, after so many absences you will fail the course. Other than that, great class.
Terrible teacher. He takes no time to care for his students. He practically grades your essays by a glance and it is obvious e doesnt read them. EXTREMELY LAZY. He accidentaly graded my rough draft for an essay and when i told him about it he straight up said he didint want to regrade it. you will only get an A if he wants you too get an A. AVOID!!
okay.. this is a easy class only like 5 papers. lets you revise the first two. however the lectures are boring and not at all useful. he is a very tough grader and marks down on random things. PARTICIPATE he strongly believes in that and its worth 150 points. overall it was easy just plain out boring
Nice guy. Although, this is SUCH an easy class, youll probably end up with an A-. He knows his class his easy, so at the end it depends if he likes you or not to give you an A. Theres no doubt you are able to get an A its depends if he wants to give you it. Beware for your GPA. Hard grader, VERY picky doesnt believe in 100% he'll give you a 4.85.
This class is good to take if you want to lighten you schedule because it is not demanding at all. Although, this class is super easy, you need to PARTICIPATE. Also, this professor does not believe in A's, for the most part the best is an A- because he knows his class is easy. He HAS to like you, and know your "serious" about his class. A good man
Good person and most importantly a good professor. There is no reason to fail this class (unless you are a terrible reader because we read several stories from the textbook). PARTICIPATE!!. At the end of the year he will ask you how much participation points you deserve out of 150. Only bad thing I can say:he makes several really lame jokes : :
Any class with Makki is not an easy A. Expect to read and devote a lot of time into this class if you want at least a B. He tries to crack random jokes here and there, but he also calls out students as if it is his job. I would not recommend him, and I will not be taking him for comp106.
Extremely annoying. HE WILL WALK UP TO YOUR COMPUTER AND CHECK WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Lots and lots of reading, and his grading policy is ridiculous. dont take.
He's a nice guy but an annoying grader. He doesn't give 20/20 and be prepared to work in groups all semester. The group assignments are easy but take all hour. The whole class is five essays and he lets you make corrections for the first to for a higher grade. YOU MUST PURCHASE the book. However I doubt you will get him because he is retiring.
