Reviews of professor Maha Marouan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She was always available outside of class. She took the time to explain and help me with one of my papers outside of class and went out of her way to make sure I understood the task. She's a good instructor. i improved my writing a lot in her class.

Not a super hard course but she is sometimes inconsistent. She often cancels class and assigns a video with short essay prompts instead. She focuses on the textbook and weekly reading quizzes to teach us. Her grading criteria is inconsistent so it's difficult to understand where you made a mistake even when you follow her criteria.

Professor Maha is the reason I am having AFAM as a minor! She is one of the BEST professors at PSU. She is truly a gem at this school, is she one of few.

Dr. Marouan was one of the best professors that I have had in African American Studies here at Penn State. She is consistently available outside of the classroom and willing to go the extra mile for her students. Her classes are engaging in the way she weaves religious studies into historical, cultural, literary, and political materials.

Definitely take a class with Maha. She is the reason that I am pursuing a major in African American Studies. Her willingness to spend time with me as mentor has made all of the difference in my education.

This is the best class I have taken at PSU! Professor Maha is amazing, and whoever choose to take this class will learn so much. It's definitely a class that will give inspiration to take more AFAM classes.

Having been at Penn State for 2 years before Dr. Marouan came, she was a great addition to the department. I also took her for Women's Studies. She's clear, concise, and knowledgeable.

4 research papers, 700-1000 words each. she expected well-rounded report that gives a full picture of an unheard African country within a week, on top of heaving reading materials and hard quizzes every unit. Seriously? it is just a gen ed and summer online class! Get ready to spend time on this course. Late dropped. AVOID at all cost!

She takes points off even if you follow the instruction. Grades can be a roulette wheel, LOTS of busy work for six-week online gen ed. She should know it is not a writing class and not the only thing students have in summer
