Reviews of professor Mourad Krifa

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Doens't communicate well. Gives lots of hard assignments and doesn't even give you a chance to do well on them. Doesn't give even partial credit if most of the assignment is done correctly. Doesn't care if you're trying to do well in the class.

More work than I have ever done for a class like this. He does not explain the material clearly, then gives points off when you dont do it how he wants. Very specific and not lenient when it comes to sources, formatting, etc. on the million papers you must type. He does, however, respond quickly, but is not much help.

I can confidently say this is one of the worst classes I've taken at my time at Kent State. From what I've heard, the online version of this class is much harder than the in-person one. The workload is too much, and the directions are not always clear. He doesn't give you enough time to finish quizzes, which are hard to follow with the material.

Taking him for a 5-week online course. The workload is very heavy for it to be online. His powerpoints download and open in present mode so it's hard for us to refer to the text to fill in the blanks. The weekly quizzes are slightly difficult for the subject matter. I dread the days that I have to do work for his class.

Lots of projects to lead up to final portfolio. Solid feedback in order to fix mistakes for final portfolio submission. Mandatory attendance on work days but very understanding if you have to miss. He makes it so you only have to go to class 1-2 days a week max. Very helpful. Lectures can tend to be boring but they're short.

Sadly this class was very hard to understand. The guidelines were terrible. My team mate and I were confused most of the time. He gives homework that sort of helps with projects but he will not mention how. The class is great if it was literally taught by a teacher that gave more details, actually explained how the projects would work.
