A good-natured man with a good sense of humor. Also an all-around good teacher.

Interesting professor.. the course was a joy, though he moved a bit quickly for the majority of the class. Take good notes, read each chapter prior to and after class. Before exams..review notes, book, cd, and study guide and you'll receive and A.

A good professor who's a very funny man. Attendance is rarely taken, but it's not smart to miss class. Few grades (2 exams and 1 paper/presentation) so you need to make sure you do well on those. Gives good notes, but make sure to study the text as well

2 words... very funny

Great Professor. You'll need to attend class and study, but you will learn and really understand Economics. The best choice at CCM.

Funniest teacher you will ever have. You actually look foward to going to economics, of all things! His tests are a bit tricky but if you come to class and take notes your golden

Dr. Kaifa is the best. His tests can be challenging but if you study its not a problem. He really tries hard to have students do well in his class and learn a lot. The best choice for Economics !!

Kaifa is great. He's a story teller, and has a ton of jokes. You can tell he knows what he's talking about, but sometimes hard to hear through his accent. But overall, my favorite business teacher at CCM.

He's a Smart funny guy. Tests gets harder and harder. Overall fair.

His test are very hard but as long as you ask him for help during the test you will be OK. He is very funny will take him again for Eco II

At first I hated him, but as class went on I realized that he really knows his stuff. Some people think he is funny and at times he was. His comments make the class better to understand and to get through. He does move quickly so you definitely have to keep up with the readings. Oh and as the semester goes on the exams get harder. Don't get all happy because you thought the first exam was easy. Overall I thought he was a great teacher and if I had to I would definitely take him for Econ. 2

Kaifa is the man... i just wish his tests were a little easier!!!

Great Professor! Funny man, knows his stuff. Tests are tough but as long as you take good notes and study you'll be fine. His humor is dry but if thats your thing you'll bust a gut every class

Great professor!. He makes the class very easy to understand. He is very funny, so you wont get bored.

Great teacher: he is funny, knows a lot about what he's talking, has lots of stories and examples (you'll remember the stories when you take the tests and it definitely helps), and is a very nice and accessible person. Loved his classes.

Great teacher, very funny, and a kind person. A little old, but still hot, very charasmatic.

Hilarious teacher. Talks about things that would relate to RL. Made me laugh everyday. Hard to get thru his accent at first but after a while its just fine. Tests are kinda hard but if you have a good buisness background you will be fine in this class. Always willing to help his students.

Funny, helpful and approachable. Very good lectures, but he ALWAYS ends classes early so he won't cover all the material and you have to study from the book by yourself (Good luck!). His classes are entertaining but the Multiple Choice tests are hard. He was available to explain any questions, though. Nice guy.

very easy!!!! take him for an eASy A!!! He is charming and funny!!! need to read the book only if you dont take good notes!!! tests are direct from notes and easy as could be!!! take him because hes a little old (mid 30's) and extremly hot though!!!! girls you will fall in love with him esp. the fall session he still has his summer tan!!!

good class

Although he has a thick accent, he is very easy to understand. He is funny too , but sometimes a little crude

questions in the tests are not just from what he taught(notes), even if he didn't mention at all, he would give us questions from the text book, .

He is the man. you'll have to work your ass off but... u know..

Kaifa is a very interesting professor. Those taking his class with no prior background in economics will struggle, but I had some previous knowledge and did well. It is tough to understand economics, but he makes the grading a very fair process, giving every student the best possible chance at getting their best possible grade.

I had him for economics 1 and although he had a heavy accent he would go through the steps as much as needed. He was welcome to questions but if you do not try, by reading the book and doing the homework then you won't do well. Economics is a hard class to begin with so you must prepare yourself

This guy is the only guy to take at CCM. I failed Eco last semester with Hoy (he's awful). I took KAIFA this semester because word around campus is he is the man to see for ECONOMICS. I received C in his class and was happy. Economics is hard but KAIFA is more than willing to give extra credit or whatever needed to try to boost grade. Love him ~MP

I love this teacher. Took his summer course and am very grateful to have had him as a teacher. Extremely helpful and has an awesome taste in clothes. Don't take anyone else at CCM but KAIFA. -MP

I think you should take this class if you want to learn. If you do not want to learn anything than don't bother taking it. I think all the material he taught was good but I just wished my Economics Ist teacher had taught this and made us learn better.Just work hard, you'll get a good grade. I wish more teachers existed like him!!! =)

Kaifa is the best and only professor to take at ccm for econ (if you want to pass) he is hard, but will help you out.

My boy Kaifa the only econ teacher you should take, didn't need the book, didn't study, but ended up with a B, the homework is all online and you basically get an A for that, the only hard part about his class is that 1 online test and I think I only failed it because I did it with a group [of dummies]. BEST ECON PROFESSOR ALIVE.

KING KAIFA! he is a hilarious man who knows how to relate economics in a way students will understand. The online test was very challenging but if you do the homework and show up for class you only need an 80 test average to get an A in the class.

Kaifa is the best professor at CCM. There are students that think he's difficult but those people are the ones that don't attend class regularly. I advise you to READ THE BOOK before he teaches the lesson so that you have an easier time getting what he's teaching. The key is paying attention in class, that's how I passed.

Professor Kaifa was a great professor for Econ II, he was always clear, concise, and comedic. He definitely knows his stuff, and so long as you listen you're set.

The class is straightforward online. Homework one week then an exam the next. Until the end of the semester. Test are very challenging, make sure you save and print out the homework. I did not end up reading and still did well.

I took Kaifa for Econ 2 and thought the class was great. Yes, you have to pay attention and come to class, but Kaifa is a great professor who knows his stuff and will go out of his way to make sure you understand everything. Definitely take him as long as you don't mind putting in the work.

This is the best profesor I would love to take this class anytime he teaches very well

He is a really good professor probably the best I have ever had, he always give you help if you need it

one of the best professors i have ever had. Makes class interesting.

He is a really good professor and really funny he is always willing to help you and it is a really smart guy

Very helpful professor! Definitely recommend for all economic classes

Extremely smart professor. Has an ability to make concepts appear easier than they are. Tough exam giver. I do not necessarily agree with his method, even though I know it is fair and to be expected from a college professor! I would consider taking him again, and this is due to the fact that he is in fact a very intelligent professor.

I took Kaifa for Macro and I can honestly say that he was a phenomenal professor. He knows economics very well, but in order to learn from him you have to understand his teaching style. He loves to use analogies to dumb things down (which is great but for some people it doesnt work). 3 to 4 homeworks are given + 3 tests + an optional final.

Kaifa was hilarious, I had him for Macro and Micro, and I'd definitely take him again. You'll be roaring with laughter every class, and he teaches the material well too-- just make sure you take notes, you might get swept into the easygoing atmosphere and then get blindsided on the test. Learn the material and do the homework, review both.

*online class* All homework and tests are done online through pearson - no proctored tests required on campus. It is pretty much a self taught class. Homework has multiple attempts so you can keep trying until you get it right and tests are about 44 questions all based on the homework. Easy A if you actually apply the effort.

I didn't really think he was funny but he's a nice guy. Very passable class if you put in minimal effort. To study: do the HW, mark the q's u get wrong & write the explanations given. Tests are easy. Homework is a grade booster. I skipped a couple classes & still got an A+

I normally dont rate professors, but this being an online class it was really nice how he replied fast, I took him during the winter term. He does use Pearson online, its great he also uploads his own power points. Pearson does also offer quizzes, so long as you study and review you homework answers you'll do great on the tests only 3 btw.

very few assignments but an good professor and would take the class again

This was an easy class but she does not use blackboard so I forgot to do an 2 assignment's and that's why I graded so low. we had 9 assignments 3 of them being quiz's and exams. the assignment questions made it so that you could have multiple attempts at each question and it would take the highest grade possible.

Great professor! Take his class

He may be hard to understand but he knows what he is teaching and explains it very well. Very funny, flexible and laid back.

Not a terrible professor. FYI he has a speech impediment so you'll need to get used to understanding him. We never used the textbook in class or for HW. He provides PowerPoints which is honestly all you need. I suggest saving your money on the textbook and only getting it if it's essential for your success in the class.

The best professor I have had so far. He is passionate about economics and is very knowledgeable on the subject. He gives you 3 tests and 6 assignments so make sure to study. This is not a hard class, he makes it very easy, and as long as you read the book you should get through it fine.
