Reviews of professor Youssef Chouhoud

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is the best professor at CNU. Nobody has even came close to his balance of funny and intelligent in my time here at CNU. I've had him every semester i've been here and he has not once given me a reason to be frustrated with him. 352 sucks but he makes it much better.

Very good professor. Res Methods is hard but Chouhoud makes it as painless of an experience as he can. He is willing to go the extra mile and does not judge students for asking stupid questions. Just a chill guy who I would definitely take again.

LOVE Youseff. This class has a reputation of being hard, and he knows that. He wants us to understand the material. 5 reading quizzes. 2 exams + final. And short "research" assignment. Not great at responding to emails. Not good at grading quickly. He will call on you in class randomly but it is never scary. He makes the class lighthearted and fun!

By far my favorite professor at CNU, he is always there to answer any questions you have and takes the time to work through them. His lectures are always super interesting even if the topic isn't, just have to make sure to read the content because it is a discussion class so you are expected to participate. A lot of reading, but not hard

Dr. Chouhoud took a tough course and made it as tolerable as possible. It was even occasionally fun! That said, this is still one of the harder polisci courses. If you go to class though, you'll be straight.

Chouhoud's speciality is definitely the Middle East. Try to take him for Middle East politics rather than GOVT215. That being said this class was probably my favorite out of any class I've ever taken. Chouhoud gives amazing lectures about the Middle East. He did pretty great considering this is his first year.

Honestly I really respect and like Chouhoud but its just a fact that he isnt a good teacher. In his 330 class he was really unorganized. The reading are longgggg. He teaches things out of chronological order and doesnt connect concepts so it feels like youre just learning a bunch loosely related events. Avoid if possible.

Good Professor - mostly lectures with some work in textbooks. Readings are covered in class, but helpful. Tests are all fair. Only warning is he takes a while to grade - aside from that, amazing.
