Professor Baghdadi is so helpful and although the semester is not over yet and ive not yet received my grade, i should confess Ive enjoyed this class a lot..though he doesnt take class attendance, i never missed any class.ill definitely take whatever course he would teach and yes he is hot! be warned of many assignments and difficult exams though!
The course has difficult readings but he really brings them down. He is very helpful and understanding. The assignments are a bit challenging and the midterm exam was not easy!!!!
Awesome class, awesome prof. If you really read you will be fine. Very hard exam tho
i agree he is helpful and maybe hot but he treats us like grad students and this makes the course very difficult. Im not really sure about my final grade. you never know if you should drop the course or not
Difficult class. I learned a lot and I'm taking him again. I got an A yaaay
I had Islam in IR with prof. Baghdadi. I should say the class was very interesting but difficult too. Got a B+ which i think was fair. He does care about students' issues and is very approachable. If you guys read you should be fine despite the difficulty of the class.All in all, I found him so cool.
Very intelligent and very serious about his work and his field. He's incredibly attractive so it can be a little difficult to focus at times. He gives a lot of assignments. Each class is only fifty minutes but they are all so content-heavy that it can feel longer. Overall a good professor and very helpful.
This class was hard because you have tons of online readings to do, most of which are long. You also have to read the book and attend all lectures. The tests are based on all three of those things. He's helpful, nice, and handsome. I'm a year away from graduation and this is the one class so far where I have learned the most. Got an A-
extremely enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Very good professor and indeed hot. He is a fair grader and curves the grades. I got a B+ which I think is what I deserved. Thats not an easy class and I don't recommend it to slackers but if you read and attend the classes you should be fine.
There is something about him that makes you quite forget about checking your facebook in class. buen professor!
just off the exam. I should admit it was really brutal/all in all great class and great professor/ i feel im learning a lot in this class. He does help you have perspective rather than making you memorize stuff.
One of my best professor at FIU. He was truly helpful and understanding. The class was also very interesting. Highly recommended !
His class is not particularly difficult, however, his instructions for papers can be unclear at first but he makes it up with lots of explanation if you ask for it. Generally It takes some time to really get what he's asking of you though :
My first year in college and I took four classes. He was by far my best professor and I enjoyed his class a lot. Highly recommended!!!
Loved his class and I learned a lot. He is the coolest prof ever :)
Today's the last day of class and I'm so happy for the choice i made. Ill definitely take him again. He is the best!!!!!
He's an awesome teacher and a great guy. Really helps out with paper by giving good feedback. He says you need two books but you just need the basic English one not the other one. Class is fun and i would definitely take him again!!!
If you do your work then your guaranteed to pass. He really wants his students to succeed and does everything to help. He's also a very funny guy and engages in good conversation. He teaches amazingly, he doesn't have a word requirement, he just says "write enough" to convey your message. I would recommend that anyone take this man
I ABSOLUTELY love his class
This is one of the best professors that I've taken at FIU. He really cares for his students and want everyone not only to pass but to learn. He makes the class fun and interesting. He's really easy to talk to and will always help you.
Had a great experience in this class and learned A LOT. I highly recommend him!!!
Prof. B was great. We had such a great time in class the entire semester and everyday we learned something new. He is always there for you and willing to help you out. He is very flexible (beware of abusing it) and makes the class interesting. Not an easy A if you dont work hard. Hands down, one of my best profs at FIU.
The best class ever
Awesome Lecturer!
He was just awesome. I love the class and never got bored. He makes the class like a breeze while you learn a lot from him. He boost your self-confidence and helps you practice defending your position logically. I will take whatever course he teaches. Great job FIU on hiring him.
Real Gem, Truly Happy I trusted RMP/
Prof. Baghdadi is one of the kindest people I have ever met and a great professor on top of that. Clearly loves the subject he teaches and is very knowledgeable. Wish all my profs were like him.
This is by far the hardest class I have ever taken. The amount of reading is out of this world. The exams are long and super hard, you have to basically memorize the readings. Weekly discussion posts, a midterm and a final, that's it. If you have a full course load I do not recommend you take this class.
Shame, I am graduating this semester and I cant take anymore classes with him. Where was he all my life?!!! take his courses people/
Unfortunately, he didn't really stick to his syllabus but the class consists of policy memos with groups and a final paper. It was an interesting class and I highly recommend him since it isn't difficult for an exit course. He does respond back fast and tries to help you any way he can but you should be ready to read a lot of articles.
Prof. Baghdadi is simply amazing. His grading criteria is so clear and he shows examples in class of exactly how he wants the work- it's fool proof. Very interactive class, and really encourages students to share their work proudly. 3 essays (one counts as a final), and smaller writing submissions along the way. Big on participation!
Obviously he teaches a lot of courses and I don't know how much my opinion about INR4603 matters for your decision to take a course with him or not but I think he is one of really knowledgeable and caring instructors I've had at FIU. Id take any course he teaches.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this professor. He is amazing, he really cares about your grade. He works with you and is understanding if you turn stuff in late. He really cares and wants you to pass. I took him for ENC 1101 & 1102. Totally recommend, super easy class because he wants you to understand and pass.
AWESOMENESS!
This professor is an amazing & caring individual, you will learn a lot in his class. His class consist of group projects and a final paper. Although you do not require a textbook he does give you a lot of interesting articles to read and videos to watch. He always replies to your emails and gives you great feedback on your work. Highly recommended!
Great class. Minimal work with a real learning experience! Two group projects and a final paper. He's very good with returning emails and answering questions. Read the book and you'll pass. Very nice professor!
I enjoyed having prof. Baghdadi as a professor. All he required us to do (for Summer Term A) was write 2 group papers and a final research paper. I didn't like the idea of working with a group on my assignments but other than that he didn't ask for much and was really nice!
Couldn't have asked for better! Prof. Baghdadi is just amazing. This was my fourth online class but hands down it was the best of all. He is really caring and doesn't leave you on your own wondering what you should do to succeed. I hope I can take another course with him.
I really enjoyed his class. The class gradually picked up in terms of difficulty but he is always available to help everyone out. He really cares about your learning and success. This was an early pleasant experience at FIU. Very happy.
I am writing this in the middle of the semester. He makes every single class enjoyable. You will learn a lot. I am so happy that I am taking this course. REAL GEM at FIU.
He is clear on what he expects from essays. He wants you to learn and gives good feedback.
Nima is actually one of the best professors you will find. There are a few papers but youll actually learn from the feedback he gives you. Hes funny and caring, and if you are active in the class, he will make sure to help you pass. Amazing teacher.
He's the best professor at FIU. He is engaging, kind, and charismatic. I took him for analytical writing in political science. The whole class is working towards a final paper. Definitely recommend this guy and he is easy in the eyes too which is never a bad thing. Wish I could take him again.
You have 2 papers and they're due in the middle of the semester and end of the semester. The papers' are about a problem in our society. You can have a partner. Easy class. No midterm and no final. You share your paper in class and he reviews it and gives you advice on how to improve it. He grades it but he gives you 10/10. No class on Friday's.
I am a non-native English speaker and mr. baghdadi helped me a lot to complete this course successfully. There is no doubt that if a student attends the classes he or she WILL GUARANTEE LEARN ATLEAST THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF WRITING SKILLS. I registered another course with him so I can learn more stuffs from him. Prof. Is really knowledgeable and easy
Good teacher overall. Although attendance isn't mandatory, it does play a role in how long it takes for your assignment to be graded and determines whether or not you receive feedback on your work. only three assignments throughout the semester, and no midterm. He is very understanding and flexible, but don't take his kindness for granted.
Fascinating class, fantastic professor, a great experience before I graduate FIU. It's a shame I did not have him before for my other courses. I highly recommend his class but it is definitely not for slackers.
Before his class I basically did not know how to write essays but he helped me soooo much. He's the kindest professor I've ever had. Always answers his emails quickly which i liked. Very very knowledgeable. PLEASE TAKE HIM :)
Mr. nima is awsome. His all courses are designed same as grad level classes (research, good thesis, and writing). This is my 2nd class with him and his classes prepared me for grad classes. It is not an esay A; however, you will learn A LOT GUARANTEED!! The professor always help you his best.
almost all his work you can do in a group as in writing assignments. easy class. well recommended
Great professor, everyone gets A's on papers. Gives great feedback and is easygoing. 10/10
He is an amazing professor. He goes step by step with his assignments to make sure you understand the criteria. He gives great feedback, and he lets you know how you can fix your mistakes and avoid them next time. He cares about his students and won't penalize you if you're just a few minutes late. I would definitely take a class with him again.
This man is the best professor I've ever had (enc 1+2) and I've had quite a few. I hate English due to mundane writing prompts, but he made everything so enjoyable and made the class about IMPROVING YOUR WRITING, not about trivial English rules. He gives amazing feedback but is a fair grader. If he sees you putting in an effort, you will do well
He is a great professor don't get me wrong, I would advise you to take this class in person. It is too much of a hassle being a group with 6 people and having to write a group discussion, when everyone just simply resolves everything doing a google doc. The class is composed of group discussions (which become group discussion papers) & final paper
Prof. B is fantastic. The best professor I've had in years. I highly recommend his class. Can't wait to take more classes with him.
The best professor I've had at FIU. He puts his students' success first and does anything to help them out. He is always available inside and outside the class to answer questions and settle confusions. Very engaging class. I never learned so much in one class as I have in his. It is great that FIU hires professors like Mr. Baghdadi.
He is AMAZING! I would take any politics classes with him again. Loved and respected by students. Reading list could be daunting but he doesn't make you memorize information. He helped students so much outside of class. Very approachable and friendly.
Easy man seriously
This class was very boring. His lectures are not engaging at all and honestly had to fight falling asleep. If that's not a problem with you I would advise you to take him because the class is not very hard. Weekly reflection papers, one group presentation and one final paper that's minimum 10 pages long.
The best class I had this semester. His class is always nearly full although he doesnt take attendance. I learned a lot and had a great time in prof. Baghdadi 's class.
This class is not for lazy ones ... He is very understanding, smart and definitely cool. I loved his lectures and I learned so much. Just show up, pay attention, and write a good final paper. NO TESTS! I would definitely take him again.
His class was fairly easy overall. Only thing is that he was very lazy and did not explain the basis for his grading at all. You should try attend every class, and make sure to ask qs about how the grading occurs so he makes an objective standard for it. He does not care much about class, but he expects you to care, so keep that in mind.
Had the best time in class, learned a lot, and enjoyed working in groups. Professor Baghdadi is simply amazing, and the most caring and approachable prof I've had. He is easygoing and really cares about your success. Loved listening to his lectures which opens up your eyes to important things others ignore.
One of the best professors I've had so far. He's really nice and wants his students to pass. He also gives great feedback on assignments to help students develop their writing skills. If you're looking for an ENC 1101/1102 course, take it with him!
Took this class because everyone said his prof. is great. We didn't have to do much but he never grades anything during the semester and at the end of the semester he never finished putting in grades. So you'll never really know your progress. Also gives a research paper thats 40% of your grade. I could've received an A had I known my progress..
Excellent professor. I have already signed up for two others classes with him. Solid choice!
Excellent class, outstanding professor, amazing experience! Highly Recommend!
Very nice and caring professor. I always participated in his class, and got great feedback on all assignments, great professor, wish i could have him for another course.
He will help you through the entire writing process and is a easy grader. He is genuine and wants to see his students succeed and grow as writers.
He is very helpful throughout the writing process. It's an easy class, and he makes it easier. Also, he is a very good person.
I LOVE HIM. SO SWEET AND HIS CLASS IS EASY IF YOU JUST FOCUS AND TAKE HIS ADVICE FOR PAPERS. HE. IS. AMAZING.
AMAZING PROFESSOR. totally recommend taking him for any class. He gives very clear instructions of what he expects and has much patience with any question you may have. HE cares about his students and pushes his students to learn. he makes me love writing. very kind!!
His class is not very hard, its mainly group projects and is flexible on due dates. Gives great feedback. Only hated the Vlog project, not hard just i dont like making videos. Made the mistake of doing it alone
Awesome! Gives good feedback easy A as long as you do the work and follow his recommendations.
No quizzes. Participate in class and hell like you. One paper at the end of the term. (10 pages). Submit it before the end of the term and hell give you pointers to get a for sure A+
Super sweet and understanding. very flexible with due dates
There isn't much to say about this class because we hardly did anything. Definitely an easy A class. Discussion post response once a week, a "vlog", a few stupid easy "policy memos" in a group, and a 10 page paper on basically any topic you want at the end of the semester. There weren't even lectures really. Or readings. Easy A.
One of the best classes I took this semester. I really enjoyed the class and I learned a lot. Prof Baghdadi has his own unique activities for an online class which helped me learn a lot both from readings and interacting with my classmates. He is very caring and is there to help everyone succeed. Read and do the assignments and you will be fine.
EXCELLENT TEACHER, GREAT EXPERIENCE
The sweetest professor I have had in FIU, literally a GEM, his class was on terrorism and I can honestly say i learned a lot he is super knowledgable and cool! He is also very flexible with his students and provides feedback he is a must take!
Amazing professor! super caring and not excessive amounts of work. HIGHLY recommend
He's a very understanding professor that I would definitely take again.
Dr. Baghdadi is a 10/10. Very fair and understanding. Vlog assignments are easier than originally thought. Group projects are fine too since, each group member evaluates one another -- so he knows which members don't put in the work. Take him.
Great Professor! Answers emails, questions, and provides great clarification. Versatile in his curriculum and creates ways that makes students really learn. No quizzes or exams -- just vlog and term paper.
This man is a gem. He gives you MANY chances to get a good grade. If you email him if you ever have difficulty with submitting an assignment, he's more than happy to be flexible. We played a "game" where you collect points through the quizzes; the top 3 students in the game (I was 3rd) receive an automatic A. What a great professor. TAKE HIM!!!!!!
Amazing professor! Class is composed of a weekly 5 question quiz that opens Friday and is due Sunday at 5 pm. Quizzes are based on the readings. One vlog project where you submit a 6-minute video discussing an assigned article. Biweekly 250-word discussion in response to a student's vlog presentation on an article. & Cumulative final.
This online class was really difficult. The weekly reading was 5 journal articles of 20-30 pages a week. 100+ pages of reading were condensed into only 5 quiz questions. The weekly quizzes are the majority of your grade. No extra credit unless you're in the top 3 of the class. I learned a lot but not worth the stress.
He is so sweet and caring about his students and am sad I couldn't take his ENC 1102 class. As long as you doing your assignments on time, you'll get an A. He's very understanding if circumstances happen and will work alongside you. His lectures are optional where he reviews basic information. Overall, love this guy to death and it's a 10/10 class.
Very straight forward. I took him in the summer during covid so it was online. Many assignment but not difficult at all. Easy grader. Would recommend.
Prof. Baghdadi is great if you like learning the content but hate doing long arduous assignments. He provides a weekly lecture video and the only grades are 1 discussion/week (250 words, no replies) and 3 exams total. I have learned so much without stressing about work.
He's is a good and caring teacher. He cares for your improvement in your writing.
Horrible!! Dont take him! Makes you read 35 pgs per chapter and expects you to remember everything you read. The midterm (9 chapters) and final (9 chapters) has no study guide the study guide is the book basically sets up his class to fail. Good luck trying to remember 300+ pgs for the tests and his lectures are not helpful at all
Professor Baghdadi is excellent. His lectures are amazing which really prepares you for the tests. The class only had a presentation, a midterm, and a final exam.
Get ready to read/write a lot. Exams are very hard and not on google, only the book. 6 disc. 3 hard exams. 1 extra quiz grader and he does not grade, his TA's are the graders and the worst.
A lot of reading! I spent 7 hours readings one chapter, and could not keep up with other readings in other classes. He knows his stuff very well, but I think he was really harsh on me. I really wanted to learn in the class but was overwhelmed with the amount of reading we had to do. Learn the fundamentals of INR, if not it will slow you down!
Super friendly and sweet teacher. Not a challenging class at all. 2-3 assignments a week but not hard at all. No exams. A couple of 10 or fewer questions quizzes. The book is free. Super calm teacher. His class was my comfort class cause he just did a short lecture, went over assignments, and let us go early a lot. Great teacher. I recommend!
Amazing Professor he cares about his students. All exams are based on the book so make sure to read but it’s not a hard class.
I had the greatest time taking this course with Prof. Baghdadi. I learned a lot and enjoyed the offline assignments. I definitely recommend him and would take him again. Thank you FIU!
Do not take him during summer term. He is super nice and a fair grader but he assigns way too many assignments.
second time taking him. Awesome Professor. Honestly take him, his classes in person are interesting he knows a lot, I took him in person first and loved his class! Then took him online and also learned a lot, even we had no zoom meetings, he was there always if I had a question.
A good professor with a small workload. If you put the effort into your work you will pass.
Great Professor with a great workload! Would highly recommend especially online. Discussion every 2 weeks, a historical re-enactment video assignment, and 2 tests. For the test he does a review the week before and gives all week to take.
Amazing professor. Responds effectively. He gives out a lot of homework but it`s manageable and he also post assignments for the whole semester the first day to work at your own pace. Take him, he is one of the good ones!
I had the absolute privilege of taking Prof. Baghdadi's course this semester, and I am genuinely blown away by the incredible learning experience I've had. This professor's expertise and passion for teaching are unparalleled. If I could give more than five stars, I would do so!!
Great Professor. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I took this class for the Summer B term and the work load was a bit heavy but expected with any summer course. All the assignments were pretty simple and straightforward.
Nice prof but the amount of work was tedious/busy. The many assignments w/ pages of instructions linked to even more resources was often difficult to follow. He required assignments right before spring break and due Sunday at the end of Spring break (He and all of my instructors and w/ exams as soon as you return!) that there was no break at all.
Nima is a caring professor who makes the work manageable. The assignments can be tedious, but engaging with the resources and using tools like unstuck study helps a lot. Recommended if you don't mind the workload.
Don't think twice about taking Prof. Baghdadi those who say it's a lot of work are goofy lol, it's an ENC class what do you expect every ENC class is work heavy. He's just so chill and you have like 2 assignments a week. I honestly enjoyed it because you do like a research log and it's fun.
Highly recommend professor Baghdadi if you want a great learning experience. He is always open to questions and genuinely care about students. Will definitely take him again!!
Even though it was fully online with no Zoom meetings, he gave great feedback, graded quickly, and was lenient with late work. Workload was manageable, and he was always available to help. There were a lot of papers, but it's ENC 1102, so that's expected. Definitely recommend!
great professor
