Helpful, easy to understand, very articulate, and takes much enthusiasm for his subject. Funny guy too, not uptight or anal like some other teachers, down to Earth you could say. I recommend for all. A+++
Excellent buyer, would do buisness with again
hot teacher, understanding, intelligent... take a class with him, ull like it guys
He's a good techer, goes off topic sometimes. Very funny and sarcastic, is a fun class. Obssessed with that one show the office. Would take another class with him if offered.
Nice and funny, sarcastic, yet helpful. You really don't need the book for this class, just pay attention, and BE THERE FOR THE REVIEW DAY! Seriously, he gave us practically all the info for the exam during the review. Wish we didn't have to write a long paper tho! He's a cutie, I highly recommend !
Okay, I really think he wrote that edible one, lol. But he is very funny and entertaining, you don't need the book though it's helpful, just read and reread the notes, BE THERE FOR REVIEW DAYS! I would recommend this class if you need history. It clears up many of my previous misgiving about Islam.
This guy cracks me up. We never had a boring class, his shirts keep you awake, and he's younger, which makes the students more comfy. He doesn't count attendance but unless you know ur stuff, try to go to class often. No chances for extra credit but his tests are easy if you show up for review. I'll take his class next semester because he's cool
I love him...i want to take his class again and again// so much fun. he is young, hot, smart and FUNNYYYYY as hell. He makes it exciting and interesting to come to class. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Really good teacher. Teaching style is great, fair, and he's funny as hell too. I had alot of fun in this class as well as learning alot about the middle east which I had zero knowledge of when I first walked in. Just make sure you attend and take notes, he doesnt take attendance but he tells you whats on the test.
Awesome class but you MUST attend if you want to get the material. He doest take attendance. Every person I talked to who skipped class and did bad on the test whined and cried, but since I attend I got a B+. Like I said, attend class especially the reviews and youll do great. He's funny as hell too!!! Very entertaining class.
I agree with everyone else on EVERYTHING they said about Tareq. Very good class, only problem is the way he posts the notes on blackboard. PUT THEM AS A WORD.DOC! I ended up with over 100 pages of notes when I copied and pasted. Other than that, VERY GOOD CLASS VERY GOOD TEACHER!
This guy is soooo hottttttt, he makes me wanna major in Near Eastern Studies....and eat him at the same time!
Fun class! Professor Ramadan is very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and he really likes to help his students. You don't need to show up for class to get points, but if you miss a day you should get the notes! I didn't really know anything about Arabia, but he really drew it out. Would take another class of his in a heart beat!
Really wonderful professor and person in general. He's very helpful, funny, intelligent, and makes learning history cool! Love this guy!!
really cool, cute and funny makes class fun! Take this class with mr ramadan because he isnt as boring as the other history teachers and helps the students understand the topics and makes them interesting
Tareq is the man! One of the best Profs at Wayne, hands down. Treats everyone fairly and doesn't discriminate and one of the few profs who are not **** at all. Very professional and clear. I learned a lot. Thanks Tareq.
Ramadan is amazing. Enough said.
My stupid work schedule changed so I had to miss a lot of classes!This really sucked because it was the ONE class I had this semester that I actually wanted to attend.Great prof,cool guy, straightforward tests.Definitely attend lecture to pass the test.My crappy attendance really effected my last test grade.
Great professors. I hate history. He posted his lectures about two weeks before the exams. Attend class, take notes, and you'll be fine! The best general ed class I've ever taken!
Ramadan is the best!!! Very helpful lenient and down to earth type of person. Exams are very straight forward, as long as you show up on review day he will tell you exactly what to study for. Easy A guaranteed. He is such a cutie!
He was very helpful and funny at times. If you show up to class, take notes, and show up on review day, then you should be able to receive an "A". The book is not necessary for his class. He makes the course for enjoyable. You will actually want to come to class. Great Professor.
The BEST prof I've had at Wayne, by far. I feel so lucky to have taken him. Tareq is totally hilarious, cares for each student, and wants everyone to get an A. Gives very good review days before the exams, tells you exactly what you need to know. He knew that students have a life, and he's one of the few profs that actually has one too. TAKE HIM!!
Tareq was by far the best instructor I had at WSU! I feel so lucky that I got the privilege to take a course with him. It was so worth it! He has a great personality and sense of humor. There are a total of three exams, which you should pass with flying colors b/c he tells you exactly what to study for on review day. Easy A guaranteed in the end.
Tareq Ramadan is the COOOLEST Teacher at WSU. He makes class fun and interesting.
Easy, articulate, funny, and helpful. Great professor and easy A take him! plus he's kind of cute
really good professor, straight and to the point, has really good sense of humor, wears armani clothes frequently but a great professor overall!
Ha ha, he is funny about those Armani t-shirts. History 3320 Good professor extremely nice guy. One paper and two tests. Good class discussions. Talks very fast during lectures but puts all notes on Blackboard. Read the book and study the notesand you should get an A.
Great professor and he's real into the subject matter, He's smart and keeps the classes entertaining, allows for debate and is still respectful with everything. I'll take another class with him
He's a hotty, rrer! Beside that very good class, 5 Precis that are easy & 2 exams that are also easy. Funny teacher, lectures tend to get boring toward the end totally not his fault. Overall easy & fun class to balance your schedule. highly recommanded!
Glad I took this class with him. Very laid back teacher and has a sense of humor. 5 précis, a 3 page paper and a final. He tells you exactly what you need to know, no surprises so its easy to get a good grade and he grades very fair. I would def take him again. If you need a class and he's teaching it, take it with him, you won't be disappointed.
Pretty easy. He does read directly from the slides, so you won't miss out too much if you miss a class. But he does love the subject and will add on to each slide as he goes. He is pretty funny and tries to make the class enjoyable. Exams aren't too difficult. The course can be somewhat boring, but his jokes make it better.
The professor is really cool. He knows the subject and is always willing to explain anything further for better comprehension. No required textbook just the slides and he will post the required readings. He is very fun. I see a lot of females think he is hot this has nothing to do with the learning. He is a good teacher.
Awesome teacher! Very Very nice to his students. You will learn a great deal about history if you attend the class. He is really enthusiastic about the class. Has a good sense of humor. Exams are straight forward. He provides Study Guide before exam that helps a lot to prepare for the exam. Easy 'A' if you read his lecture slides. Take him!
Take him he is excellent professor. He is very helpful and provide study guide before exam and test are very easy straight from his study guide. Excellent Excellent excellent professor
He is a great professor and hilarious. Keeps you interested in the topic and he provides extra credit assignments. His study guides and lectures are easy to follow through.
He is hilarious and a great professor! He is very knowledgeable in the area that he is teaching. As long as you review and study for the testsquizzes, you'll get the grade you deserve. Not a hard class at all.
The best professor at Wayne State University! He's amazing please take this class you will not regret it. He cares about his students too, amazing lectures! Very knowledgeable and highly intelligentbut can never be boring! He wants everyone to do well and pass, always encourages questions and feedback. Best of all, very genuinely nice person! :)
Definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. Tries to connect to the students, very nice, excellent professor in general, very funny, If I could take him for every class I would, but they always fill up within a day.
One of the best professors at Wayne. Has a quirky sense of humor. The only professor rocking tiger stripes in his fadelol. He knows how to make a subject interesting when it would be dreadfully boring if taught by someone else. Since Islam is such a hot topic now, it's nice to learn its history and what it really is versus what "experts" on tv say.
Cool and really nice guy. Very easy to talk to and makes the class interesting. If you just put some effort into the readings and pay attention in class you will get a good grade. Only 2 quizzes and a final. Would definitely take another class with him.
Best teacher i have had at Wayne State! he is really into what he is talking about and make it really enjoyable. Make it a point to take his class, i took it in the summer of 2016. Awesome guy to talk to and loves sports and modern culture, Prof if you are reading this Lebron got his ring in Cleveland but he is still a bum compared to steph.
He is just awesome
10/10 one of the best profs I've ever had a Wayne State. He gives great lectures and is very passionate about his work.
Tareq has become my favorite professor at Wayne State. I have taken two classes with him and wish I could have him as a professor for every class! He is a great guy and truly cares for his students. I recommend anyone to take a class with him, you will enjoy it!
Down to Earth, Comic Relief. Show up to every every class, participate in discussions, take notes on powerpoints, and you'll do fine. Only con is not too many assigments.
This was the best class I've ever had at WSU absolutely I've take graduate level classes. Very down to earth, hilarious, and provides every thing needed to pass with an A! Interesting class with relevant present day problems. Tareq has such a great character that you will want to go to class every day. Recommend and would take him ANYDAY! Great!!
One of my favorite professors ever. Super cool guy but also extremely smart. The textbook is helpful but he gives you everything in the power points. Doesn't have a ton of assignments which is good and bad. However, he provides you with great opportunities for good grades. Phenomenal professor, take his class.
MR Ramadan was honestly an amazing teacher to have , he is extremely knowledged about the subject at hand . As for quizzes easiest thing ever , just study the study guide and you will do fine . I would totally take him again if I had the chance ;)
He's the definition of the excellent professor !
Mr. Ramadan makes a boring class interesting. He tries to share personal relatable stories and always sympathizes with the students. A great person overall. So intelligent in many areas of life. Makes the material understandable and is an easy grader and nice prof. Would highly recommend
Professor Ramadan was phenomenal. Hes obviously informed and passionate about what he teaches. The class was long, about 2.5 hours but thats because it only met once a week. Because of this, I dont advise skipping. He posts PowerPoints online, however, a bulk of explanation is missing without going to class.
He is amazing and wants to see students succeed and do well. Learned a lot and it was very fun. But then again I was a geek about the course topic. He is a high energy caring professor that likes to stimulate class discussions.
Though he tends to focus lectures on his research and the Levant region, it is an easy blow off class. and he encourages class discussion. No textbook.
Professor Ramadan was super caring for all students in the class. He knows his stuff and covers a lot of material. Showing up to class is mandatory because of the amount of material covered. Gives study guides to his quizzes and exams. Amazing professor and I already signed up for another one of his classes!
Great professor! Easy and understanding very passionate about his profession and what he teaches. Easy A!
Great class, learned a lot, very easy
Dr. Ramadan is amazing at what he does! He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Make sure you don't miss his classes he covers a lot! He always gives a study guide for quizzes and tests and if you study them you're guaranteed with an A. I have taken him for 2 different classes and loved them! He really wants whats best for his students!
I recommend this professor to everyone I know. He is truly amazing and knowledgable. I was really engaged in this class because the way he teaches makes the subject so interesting. This truly changed the way I see the Arab people and see the world. Absolutely loved it and will take again if I could
Dr. Ramadan is such an amazing professor, he simply makes the lecture so fun and interesting. He like to talk to his students and share information with them. If you study the powerpoint you will pass with an A. I highly recommend taking his class, he is the best.
Hands down, best course Ive taken at Wayne State. Dr. Ramadan is an amazing, knowledgeable, and funny professor. You get a history lesson and comedy show in one. Only prof I know who rolls up in his shades and a fade, respect to him. PS he loves pitch black Mountain Dew.
Awesome professor!! He's a really nice and a fair grader. Very engaging with the class and encouraged discussion. You can tell that he cares about what he teaches. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend taking this course with Dr. Ramadan!
This is definitely one of the best courses I've ever taken. Dr. Ramadan is so kind, respectful, intelligent, and funny. He makes it easy to pay attention to a two and a half hour lecture. His quizzes/exams are not difficult as long as you pay attention in class. I learned so much interesting stuff, and looked forward to talking to him every week.
Simply an amazing professor
One of the best professors at WSU. Has a great depth of knowledge for the course and respects all students. Quizzes and exams are all from the study guide. Study his powerpoints and you will easily pass.
Truly awesome professor, cares about his students, really funny, great to be around, very inclusive, quizzes and tests are based offed the study guide, not hard at all, just study the study guides and the power points and you'll do fine.
Very very organized and simple class. 4 in class quizzes (usually 10 questions or less), one midterm and one final. Super easy class if you pay attention. No book needed
This class was a Gen Ed for me but I ended up LOVING it! Professor Ramadan was caring, funny, and serious at the same time. He really values your time & the grade you receive in his class. Quizzes are heavy loaded and his exams are pretty fair! Quizzes/exams are based on readings/powerpoints. Lectures are worth & you'll get an A if you're present.
One two and a half hour class in a week, but this class was a joke. He tells u exactly whats on the quizzes and midterms, very easy to get an A.
Probably the nicest and one of the best profs I've had at WSU!! He's really enthusiastic but makes everything very clear and really empathizes with his students. Had him for two diff. classes. Strongly encourage you to take 'Arab Society' with him at some point. He's awesome!
Great teacher, funny personality and at the same time serious about lectures. there are 4 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. gives a study guide for everything. puts extra credit in all quizzes and exams. No homework. I strongly recommend him.
Great professor. I liked his lectures.
He offers extra credits on every quiz and exams. Explains everything very clearly. Exams and quizzes are straight from the PowerPoint slides and no textbook needed. Try not to miss his class because he covers a lot in each class session.
Best professor at Wayne hands down. Most kids ended with over a 100%.
This is the 2nd class I've taken w/ Prof. Ramadan & I wish I could take all of my classes w/ him! He's generous, his lectures are great (even though I used to find history to be boring), and he is always willing to help out! Offers extra credit, also brings in snacks for us before quizzes/exams! Very nice, genuine person! My favorite prof. ever!
Hands down the easiest professor you will ever come across in your life. Very easy just honestly glance at his slides the day before a test and you get a guaranteed A. I would highly go to his lecture because their so interesting like you will never fall asleep. Also do not waste your money buying the book. Your never gonna need it.
My first semester at Wayne, and Dr. Ramadan made me love Wayne State because of his class! He is an amazing and caring professor! Take him and you definitely won't regret it :)
Grades only by 4 quizzes, two exams (final and midterm). He was super nice, funny, and laid-back. Provided study guides for every exam and quiz. Just make sure you actually study for the quizzes and exams, and you'll get an A. He's a great guy and super caring!
Easy class even without cheating....
He is a great professor. Classes tend to go off topic but about other interesting things. He cares about his students and always writes in all caps. He has a few quizzes midterm and exam. Memorize the study guide because it's almost word for word on the exams and quizzes. Cool guy
Amazing! Always available for help or discussion, and just a really great person
Prof Ramadan was really understanding and made the class way. Easy to reach outside of class theres only 4 quizzes and a final. None of them are on lockdown browser and the quizzes have built in extra credit. Super nice guy!!
Dr. Ramadan is the type of professor everyone can learn from. Throughout the whole course, he demonstrated kindness and consideration for his students. Lectures are recorded with supplemental readings (unnecessary for quizzes, good if you want to learn more) and PowerPoint slides are posted for when you're short on time.
He is an amazing professor I would definitely recommend taking his class
Dr. Ramadan is by far one of the most caring professors I have encountered at Wayne State. He is very understanding and considerate and easy to communicate with. The class is out of 100 points, that can get pretty stressful but he offers lots of extra credit.
Best professor by far. He is extremely passionate about the course. The course was entirely online this semester and every reading could be accessed through the syllabus. Used canvas better than any of my other professors. Do not be afraid to email him if you need help in the course because he responds in a timely manner and is very understandable.
Easily one of the best professors I've ever had. The class is extremely fair and straight forward. He tells you what is going to be on all the quizzes and exams and if you do what he says you are guaranteed to get an A. The man is beyond kind, respectful, and most importantly of all inspirational.
The best professor I had this semester. His lectures were clear and easy to read. He laid out his expectations straight from the beginning and lets you know what will be on the exam. He's also very generous with extra credit. He really cares about his students and it shows. Highly recommend.
Very nice and understanding professor. Workload is fairly light. He provides all articles needed instead of a textbook and study guides for the quizzes/exams.
this is your sign to take a class with professor Ramadan. Ive taken multiple classes with him and loved every single one. Hes so kind, understanding and helpful and his classes are easy and fun. the material is interesting and you can tell he loves what he does. 11/10 would take again.
This professor is a breath of fresh air! Take his class!
Dr. Ramadan is so sweet & caring with personal lives and school. He talks about his experience a lot which made the class more fun & I hope I can take him in the future again. Always willing to help and further your understanding. He is also very interesting as he talks about starting his own clothing line, collecting coins, & his love for Mtn. Dew
There's a reason why his rating is so high. Take. His. Class! He makes it fun and ties anthropologist into our personal lives. Loved him!
He's so passionate about teaching, it was refreshing! However, his class did require effort. The class is graded on a scale of 100 points which was quite stressful, but he did give extra credit opportunities, which made up for his harsh grading on written response questions on exams. If you attend class, you'll be there the whole scheduled time.
Awesome professor, engaging classes and discussions. Tests are straight forward he gives you all you need to succeed.
I cannot even put into words how much I love this man. Literally the most caring and easy to talk to professor. He grades reasonably and is always willing to discuss and clarify any concepts you have confused from lecture. His tests and quizzes are online and he offers extra credit opportunities. TAKE HIM!! TAKE HIM!! TAKE HIM!!! TAKE HIM
One of the best professors at Wayne, made an account to rate him.
Idk if there was a book, but I didn't buy one. Can do everything based off the lecture slides. Quizzes and exams are easy, study guides help a lot. There is no possible way to FAIL.
One of, if not THE best professors I've ever had. He was very caring, funny, and very engaging. Lectures were interesting and easy to follow. All lectures were available on canvas and were open during quizzes. This class was such a great introduction to my major and made me excited to learn more about it. 10/10 for Prof. Ramadan.
this is the best professor Ive ever had! he is so caring and amazing. really understanding and teaches so well. you will love the class, and its an easy A! my class was around 2-5 and he was so gracious to buy us lunch sometimes because we were hungry. also the work is extremely easy.
I can't express enough how amazing of a professor he is. His lectures are so interesting and he's so well spoken and funny, it makes you actually want to attend class and engage. He bought our class pizza so many times just because he's that generous and wholeheartedly cares about his students. Seriously the best professor I've ever had.
Prof. Ramadan was great. This is the 2nd class I've taken with him so far. Always available to talk and answer questions, plus this class was so relevant for our times. Great lectures, always kind and generous with his time. Solid class overall w/ 2 exams and 5 quizzes + EC & everything is on canvas. Definitely an eye opening course.
Not a hard course. Grade composed of biweekly quizzes and exams. 3 Pts of extra credit for most quizzes and tests. Great professor, extremely educated in his field. Approachable and kind. 5 point deduction from final grade per unexcused absence. Provided food for his students. Definitely take this course.
Amazing guy, interesting lectures. You can tell he's very passionate and experienced in the field. Uses a lot of his own firsthand accounts. Quizzes are easy enough if you pay attention in class and are decent at writing.
Best professor ever seriously. So funny and kind. Flexible too. Very fun class.
One of the best professors I have ever had, great guy.
5 Quizzes, 2 exams, super easy class. Take it!!
Dr. Ramadan is great!! His lectures were fun and felt like a conversation with a friend rather than a course. He is one of the most knowledgeable professors I have had and is always ready to have a conversation outside of class. The assignments were simple and exams are straightforward if you pay attention to lessons.
Great course. Loved watching his enthusiasm on the subject. Very simple and manageable workload.
Amazing Professor and amazing class, cares alot about students and has a very clear grading criteria.
