Reviews of professor Miriam Mabrouk

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She was very unclear with her directions on assignments. She asked for way more than the assignments originally entailed. Marks very vigorously and doesn't give leniency. She is very kind but doesn't specify what needs to be done for the assignments and gives similar grades to everyone. The class is not on a curve so it's hard to get high marks.

Very nice person, but very unclear on instructions. She marks extremely hard and makes it hard to improve your grade in her class.

Easy going professor that shows genuine care and compassion to her students and brings enthusiasm to the learning environment. She makes note of how she can be accessed outside of class on multiple occasions and gives great feedback on assignments and gets them handed back very quickly with nothing missed. Made my least favourite course enjoyable.

I'm not one to easily dislike profs, but I have to say that Miriam made this class more frustrating than necessary. While she's kind and very understanding in terms of granting extensions, she provides ZERO feedback and doesn't communicate what she's looking for in assignments. She marks fairly difficult, and take ages to respond to emails.

Ms. Mabrouk is such a gem. She cares for her students and describes throughly what she expects. She is lenient on deadlines if it is needed and she puts her students first. She explains everything very well and she is such a sweetheart that is always willing to help with assignments.

She always has funny slideshows, and marks very fairly and provides helpful feedbacks. I learned a lot about Canada and black history.

Miriam is so nice and a genuine person. She truly wants to see her students succeed and is always willing to help with assignments that students are struggling with. She encourages class participation and for students to share their ideas and thoughts about the topics covered in class. I looked forward to attending her to class every week.

She was amazing! She is the type of professor that brings the passion for learning literature and love for literature back into secondary education. She was wonderful! I enjoyed the reading topics and how diverse they all were. Be sure to participate in class (she is very friendly) and visit office hours for great feedback!

Nice person, but ZERO feedback. Marking schemes were vague and we didn't have an opportunity to improve. Seminars were just there to count participation, not to learn (also, I participated heavily every class and got 80%). We were not allowed to ask for individual feedback because "it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the class."

Very caring professor, treated everyone very fairly and gave excellent feedback. Learned a lot about writing from the class which was very refreshing, go to class and participate and you will do well!
