Reviews of professor Sami Sweis

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I'm not currently taking a class with Sweiss, but I saw him recently and he's just a great person. He wants to students to be their best, and hes super willing to assist, but he's encouraging and human. He makes students feel important cuz he genuinely cares.

Sweis is a very sweet and passionate man but I regret taking his class. There is SO much reading to do (lots of sources we have to read and remember & chapters of the textbook that we were quizzed on) The final paper (8-10 pages) was being due 3 days before the final exam. The study guide for the exam gave us 100 terms (only 10 were on the exam)

I was intimidated to take Arabic knowing that it was a tough language, but Ustadh Sweis made this year fun and we learned a lot. From nothing, I'm actually surprised by how much I could actually say. Dr. Sweis was very human and adapted as we along. Going remote was difficult, but Sweis still was effective and was very understanding.

WOW! I learned so much about MIddle East history. Having going in to his class with only a little knowledge, I came out with a real comfort talking about and thinking about the region. He assigns a lot to read, but it was all super cool, really interesting and fit so well into class discussion and lectures. His lectures were really engaging.

lots of reading but the class was actually interesting and i felt like I learned alot. you'll have to learn how to manage the reading but sweis isn't too bad since hes looking for the big picture on the readings. take his class and just let him know when it is too much and hes usually willing to dial it back or at least give students advice
