Reviews of professor Navid Fozi Abivard

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course at the honors level is a lot, even for an introductory course. Expect to read a chapter and powerpoint ahead of class and take notes on them, as well as multiple readings that were rarely short. He was often irritated if people did not participate enough. Fieldwork research, presentation, and paper involved. If you enjoy it, go for it.

/! If you show up, participate, do the work, or just by doing all three of it all, you are destined to pass. Failure to do so will less-liken your chances of succeeding in his relatively engaging course. /!

Fozi is a tough professor but it's because he cares about the success of his students and he's passionate about his field. If you're an Anthropology major I really reccomend taking his courses because his research projects are great experience.

Great professor and an even better human being, I loved my class with Professor Abivard, he cares about the students and what they have to say, he excepts participation but he makes it easy to do so. Definitely take if you have a chance.

He is a great professor and cares about his students success. The class is a little difficult when it comes to the fieldwork, but as long as you do the project and show up you will do great. The class is interesting too.

Professor Fozi is amazing. He gives you quite a lot to read and as a speaking-intensive class, he expects you to participate and answer. There's a year-long project of your choosing about the Middle East. Just make sure to put time aside for this course and you'll do good. There's not much homework just participation.

This wasn't the easiest class I've taken but Navid Fozi Abivard will always help out if you need it! As long as you try in this class, you should do well, but get prepared for a lot of reading and writing!

Class should be titled History of Islam. Extremely textbook+lecture heavy. Allows partner work but beware... he kicks you out if you talk. You will work on a hefty project during the semester. 12 page final paper+mandatory final presentation. Allows 1 unexcused absence. Interesting fellow but very interesting expectations and class management.
