She the best

Very good prof in the sense that she really cares for her students and marks properly

Great professor, very knowledgeable. She cares a lot about her students and wants them to succeed. She added extra elements to the class that made it more interesting. Would recommend, especially in a small class.

This class was an interesting introduction to team engineering projects. The professor always made interesting ways to get the class engaged.

I took ELG/GNG 5301 with prof. Sawsan, I had a very good experience. Her course was well organized. Lectures were to the point and clear and we had a lot of group activities/projects which made the subject interesting. Mind you ELG/GNG 5301 is simple but not easy. It needs time and efforts. Over all good experience. She is a respected professor.

The professor has spent many years in the field of fibre optics communication and it shows. The course content was heavily tailored to real world applications, and the professor was always quick to provide insight into any questions anyone had.

This is a great course for you to take, you will find it useful when you are planning to take a job in Canada and kick start your professional career.

Great professor, with a properly structured course that directly benefits your future industry career. The assignments in the course are well thoughtout to teach students valuable skills in order to find a job. Dr. Sawsan cares about her student and is willing to go out of her way to help outside of class time.

She provides the essential knowledge for the students to succeed in the course. However, optical fiber communication system is a deep field and it is important to do extra reading if you wish to go further in the field. 5/5 to her for giving her students career advices outside of class hours.

She did a good job conveying the material to students. She replies quickly back to emails and does a good job explaining any questions you may have.

Excellent professor

Really helpful for someone looking to get into the Job Market.

Professor Sawsan is very encouraging and helpful towards all her students. She is very easy to talk to.

She is an amazing professor, very concerned about the students, very clear about the course and its components, the grading system. She is very supportive and encouraging, makes sure she helps her students in the best possible way for so many opportunities even outside the course.

The Prof, through a series of workshops, explains useful skills to have as newly graduates to further their Canadian career as professionals. The Prof offers thorough feedbacks to students and has a realistic teaching approach. She smartly uses TAs to improve communication and is also approachable in the distance-working platforms used.

Dr. Abdul-Majid was a pleasure to take the course with, as she greatly expanded my interest and knowledge in the field of optical communication systems. It is evident that she puts a lot of effort into the course, and ensures that students understand the course material. Highly recommend taking a course with her.

Course material is guided towards practical applications with the use of standards. Labs are completed with optiperformer and help alot with developing the theory of optical systems. Dr. Sawsan highlights key points clearly and effectively, she is a great teacher and will greatly develop your knowledge of optical systems in this course.

Overall good class, quizzes and final were very straightforward, chance for bonus marks here and there , don't miss out!

The workload for the course was pretty average. The assignments and exams were relatively easy and were graded very fairly. Sometimes, elements of lectures were not well conveyed or explained so reviewing the lectures was necessary. The professor cares about the students and is available for questions.

Great professor and excellent course.

The course was fairly straightforward and Dr. Abdul-Majid answered my questions very well when I asked her for help.

Professor Abdul-Majid is a very caring professor. You can tell from the way she teaches that she really enjoys Optical Communications. I can see some negative reviews regarding other courses below, but I believe that every bird will chant the best melodies in their own territories... I enjoyed the diversity of 4178, as I learnt a bit of everything!

The course is designed as a series of workshops to prepare students for real world assignments and career development. Each workshop is has group & individual activities. Really enjoyed and it helped to prepare for Canadian job market. The professor is really supportive and brings together a lot of resource persons from the university and industry.

She really encourages class participation during her lectures so that will help you succeed in her course, and it makes the course more enjoyable. She is also really nice and willing to help you out outside of class hours either through email or if you go and see her.

Professor Sawsan really cares about the students. First of all, she helped us to know ourselves well and secondly, she taught us how to find a good job by improving our resume, LinkedIn, getting ready for job interviews and learning how to do library research or even writing a report.

I recommend her to students who are not familiar with job market of Canada and do not have a clear idea of their future career.

It was a wonderful experience to study GNG5301 under Professor Sawsan.

Loved the Prof! Glad to have ELG5301 as a mandatory one. This improves your professional skills and prepares you for the Canadian job market while helping you build networks. Loved the engagement of various guest speakers from the industry. Prof is an amazing personality. If you're new in Canada, I'd highly recommend you to reach out to her.

This course is very important for international students starting from scratch in Canada. Amazing lectures that makes you industry ready and build network. Professor was very caring and goes above and beyond to help her students break into the industry. The individual and group assignments were very easy and required very little time to complete.

The professor was easily accessible, helpful & pretty understanding throughout the course duration. Her TA's were well-trained and qualified to answer any and all queries students seemed to have throughout. She made the course quite interactive, but at the same time was always serious about the attendance requirements. Overall, I'd recommend her!

Professor Sawsan is an exceptional educator who combines passion and expertise to create an engaging learning environment. Her clear communication and approachable nature foster a positive atmosphere, making complex topics understandable. Students appreciate her dedication, making her an invaluable asset to the academic community.

Professor Sawsan and her course GNG 5301 is quite amazing! The course serves as the first stepping stone to learning about enhancing professional skills and the job market in Canada. The classes are very interactive, have guest lecturers, and the curriculum is very well-defined. She goes the extra mile to support each student's career growth.

I enrolled in ELG 5301 and everyone should take this course in first year which will prepare themselves for the Canadian Job market. The professor was friendly and she always encourage her students to be involved in many activities outside of there study which is really important in Canada. The course is easy going for not having final exams.

The professor is good and knows her onions. She has amazing course structure that helps transit from the class room to work place with abundance of resources. I will take her course again.

Very friendly professor, clear assignments, not heavy course, well trained TAs, I spent good time during the course..and got decent knowledge in job market. Very crucial course before starting any career.

As part of the in-person tutorial group (GNG 5301 -W01), it worked great for me because I enjoyed every in-person lecture. The online lectures are pretty great, with guest speakers invited sometimes who give good information. The frequency of assignments does keep you on your toes, however you will learn great stuff from this course.

Professor Sawsan is friendly and accessible outside of class. The course focuses on the Canadian job market, resumes, and interview skills. Expect many assignments and a tough grading policy, but gain a well-drafted resume, an interview question bank, and job-searching skills by the end of the course.

This elective course offers a well-structured and engaging learning experience. The professor, highly qualified and approachable, fosters a positive atmosphere. The grading system promotes fairness and recognizes individual excellence. Weekly assignments, while challenging, contribute to a deeper understanding of the subject and real life.

The professor is knowledgeable and supportive, making the course engaging. Assignments are challenging but worthwhile, preparing students for the job market. unstuck ai proved a helpful study tool alongside other resources.

It covered a mix of topics. TAs were supportive. The peer grading was a nightmare. It required members to grade each other in a strict 100, 80, 70, 70 format, regardless of everyone's equal effort. It created unnecessary tension among members. While the content and teaching were strong, the grading detracted from the collaboration.

I took this course last semester. You will meet two nice TA who manage everything and provide practical and useful lectures. Prof is nice and gave all students good marks. You should take this course and what you gonna learn, will help you for the rest of your course in writing articles, finding jobs and career improvement.
