Dr. Salih has many points of view and is very knowlegable on other cultures which helped me learn. He helps open your eyes that may be otherwise shut. A very good class to take.

easy on the grading and an overall nice guy.

I think Salih is a great teacher. I feel like my eyes have been opened in his class. I have actually read books that interested me. Salih brings a totally different point of view to the table and I respect that.

There were only 4 papers and some small reading quizzes. The papers are easy and he is a nice guy.

Professor Salih is a good teacher, he explains everything really well. If you read the chapters you have to read you will pass all the mini quizzes and his papers are sooo easy. I def. recommend taking him. He made me very interested and I enjoyed the class

Wonderful teacher and easy to get a good grade in his class

Dr. Salih is the man as long as you go to class and show some effort he will hook you up

Dr Salih is awsome. He's got a great accent and it's just nice to listen to him speak! I learned a lot in his class. Do the reading and SHOW UP and you'll do well.

Big ups to Sabah. Always prepared, always insightful, always a good conversation about whatever we're reading. And a Simpsons fan. Take anything you can with the man and hope you don't get stuck with a Danny Robinson class. Non-Western Lit and Modern Drama are great.

Dr. Salih is a very brilliant man outside of class, inside class he seems to dumb down what he really wants to say so that gen ed. people can keep up. Class participation a must, but he is very willing to help you if you go to his office hours. Good class discussion!

this is a great class. its easy as long as you go, read the material, and participate. he will help you with your paper if you go to his office. I would recomend this class to anyone.

very easy, gets off the topic a lot, but in a fun interesting way. Very helpful!

Not a bad class. The readings were boring I thought just due to their nature and there's not much that anybody can do about that. He is a funny guy and does have a great sense of humor. The quizzes are "unannounced" but not really. The readings are pretty short and can easily be done in one night. TAKE HIM!!!!

he is strick when grading papers but the class is interesting. The discussions are usually fun but the topics are alittle boring.

Any one who does not like this man probably hates every professor here at Bloom. He is hilarious in a cute way and the stories we read are short and interesting. He gets everyone involved and makes it clear he wants everyone to get an A. TAKE THIS TEACHER!!

This class wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I mean the only problem was no one really participated. I guess they were bored out their minds. You're fine if you just do the reading. The quizzes and the final are basically to see if you read. The paper was just 4-6 pages. English majors especially should have no problem.

Dr. Salih is a top-notch guy. I would recommend that you take one of his classes.

Awww Dr. Salih is soooo cute!! He may cut in and 'ramble' but he makes important points which he wants you all to know. He's helpful and definately clear on assignments. He's passionate about the literature he picks out, which a lot of other professors seem to have the "ehhh I guess we'll read this because I can sound smart about it" attitude

here the run down... you use a book called global cultures, each class you read a short story from it (usually like 5 pages). 1 person from the class does a presentation on the story. Other grades are a 5 page paper (any topic you like using the stories) midterm and final. exams are on material only, no interpretation. Read the stories and its an A

Not hard at all, no tests/quizzes/final. You have to do 3 or 4 papers, he grades pretty fairly/easily. Nice guy, has some good stories. I'd take him again.

What a cool guy. His only "flaw" is his accent. He was more than generous with the kids in my class. He grades pretty easily, but if you write alot he grades you better. Class participation isn't required but it helps. He tries to make the material interesting, even poetry. Best of all is his accesability out of class. My best professor so far.

Dr. Salih is awesome!! What are you all talking about?? I had him for Non-Western Lit 1 at 9am and NEVER missed class!! He is so smart and funny and has a lot of awesome stories! So helpful with your papers, there are only two and he cancels classes sometimes. AWESOME guy, I can't wait to have him again!!

He is knowledgeable about Non-Western Culture, which makes it interesting. The information is easy to understand. Two books required, and the assessment is easy.

He was very funny and knowledgeable. He was one of my favorite English teachers I've ever had. Didn't confuse me with a vocabulary I didn't understand, which was nice. Straightforward with what he wants, and gives a lot of examples in class, so the papers are easy. Anymore than 3 missed classes and you'll let you know that you should attend more

Sabah Salih was a great professor. Comp 1 was mostly a review of high school, but he definitely teaches some important grammar that I still remember today. I recommend taking him i received an A

Easy class and easy professor. There's one test, 3 papers (one is the final) and like 4 quizzes. He says attendance is mandatory but I missed 8 classes and still got a B+. If you have trouble writing take this class because idk anyone who got lower than a C on any of their papers. He's very nice and helpful too.

Dr. Salih's class is a great one to go to. There is assigned participation based on the readings. Class discussions can sometimes be a challenge because he cuts you off as you are sharing and interjects his own thoughts. At times he can be intimidating. It is hard to share opinions that he does not agree with. The assignments are moderately easy.

He's a great teacher and a great guy. Funny too. I would definately recommend him.

Very passionate and insightful. Reading assignments were easily manageable. Connects themes in material to the real world. Participation is key. Does tend to stress one particular interpretation of material above others, but his expectations are straightforward, and he has a good sense of humor--his anecdotes are hilarious. Take him!!!

Sabah is not only a great teacher, he grades reasonably, he's hilarious, and overall entertaining. Without him, I wouldn't have decided to declare English as my major. Definitely worth taking a class with him at least once.

If you aren't open-minded about culture, religion, race, and gender then I can see why you wouldn't like this professor or this class. If you are open-minded, then take a class with him -- he's worldly, intelligent and has amazing insight about literature and life. I loved him and this entire course. Participation is key!

I loved Professor Salah. He always keeps class very interesting and makes it so everyone can voice their opinion. If you use his office hours your papers can go from a B to an A+. I would definitely take him again. Participation is key!

I took Lit&Society w Sabah and I'm not exaggerating when I say he was by far the best professor I've ever had. Participation is important because 99% of the class is group discussion. He'll ask you a lot of questions but values your opinion &will constantly ask you to further your responses to learn more what you have to say. Wish I could retake!

I highly recommend Professor Salih for any of his english classes! He is super helpful and always available for office hours. If you show up to class, and participate you will have no problem receiving an A!

Dr. Salih was one of my favorite professors here so far! He assigns one paper and one powerpoint that both have to be presented to the class. I handed my one paper in and skipped the presenting part and still got 23/25. He likes when you show up to class and participate. He is so cute and nice, very easy A for any of his classes!

Professor Salih's class was my favorite out of all my classes. He was very very kind and willing to help. He did have a slight accent but made sure to pronunciate his words so the class could understand. He allows three unexcused absences, which is nice, but after that it counts against you. Its an easy fun class if you pay attention and read.

The only rough part of his class was that my grade was only based on 2 papers and attendance/participation, and his attendance policy is pretty strict. Other than that, the class was a breeze, just read and be ready to raise your hand during class. He's a funny guy, very laid back and even if class could be a bit boring sometimes, he's pretty cool.

This professor is very helpful and accommodating. If you use his office hours you will you pass the class. You do only get three absences before it brings you down a grade level. Participation is needed and you do use all the books. He is the best comp professor that I have had.

only a few easy assignments, he is a great professor and is helpful

Dr. Salih is the sweetest professor youll have. Though he doesnt speak the best English and the course only had 100 points, if you read the books and take the notes that he gives you, itll be an easy A.

He is very nice. His English is a little off which makes notes and syllabus sometimes hard to understand. I did not know my grade until it was posted on my transcript. No clue how I was doing the whole class. Very few graded assignments with little to no feedback. He doesnt use technology. I think he just passed everybody who put forth effort

Sabah Salih is the goat. My man is kind of boring sometimes but just go to the classes and do the work. He usually scares you here and there as he raises emphasizes words. Just try and he won't fail u

Up Sabah. I had three classes with this guy and hes the goat. Love from the USA. Go Sabah

Sabah Salih is the best professor ever. I had two classes with this guy, and he always brightened my day. There are very few assignments just make sure to do the ones he gives you well. Overall take this professor he is AWESOME!

This professor is really passionate about his work and all you have to do is show up to class, participate, write some papers, crack a joke here and there and you'll be good! He isn't too rough about grading and wants everyone to succeed. I've taken several of his classes simply to have him as a professor again! Highly recommend to everyone!

Just attend all classes and you will be fine if you do your work and you can go to his office hours and he will help you make corrections on the assignments. Very nice professor and would take again also the book for this class was very cheap. But he does make presentations a bit awkward at times.

Dr. Salih was a good professor, his class is very boring though. He speaks very slow and it takes him forever to write something down on the chalkboard. On the other hand he is a very easy grader, if you put some effort into your assignments, go to class, and participate you will do fine in the class. I would recommend Dr. Salih

Old fashioned (not to mention tech-illiterate) in his teaching, but not in his thinking. He's a tolerant and worldly guy. Goes extremely in-depth in his lectures, which will really make you think, and is responsive outside of class time. Drops some crazy one-liners, too. All around a very nice person and a great professor.

Dr. Salih is seriously a great guy and professor. BEWARE: You HAVE to go to class. He grades based on attendance, and even missing a single class will lose you points (which there's not a lot!) His lectures are very interesting, and if you enjoy intellectual conversation this is a great class to take. He's also very accessible outside of class!

Sabah is a very funny guy and a good professor, but he grades based off of attendance and participation. He also doesn't give out grades until finals. He's a tough grader so make sure your grammar is top tier. You can go to his class and expect a good laugh which is nice.
