Reviews of professor Phillip Ayoub

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Intro classes are notoriously dry, but Ayoub is the reason I'm probably going to be a DWA major. Classes are very structured, and he genuinely cares about his students. I always felt like I could go to him for help and his teaching style was very clear. However, not a ton of assignments, and he's very reading-heavy, but definitely worth it.

Ayoub is one of the best professors. He cares about the wellbeing of students and is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about the material. He is good at checking his own bias/POV when it comes to class material, and wants you to understand the material from all perspectives. Class was reading heavy, but gets more manageable.

Prof. Ayoub is the kindest soul on Oxy's campus. Readings can be dense, however, he goes over them thoroughly in class. Will continue taking classes with him.

Okay so like Ayoub is an absolute gem, youre gonna be given lots of reading to do which isnt that bad if you know how to manage your time. But his lectures will cover anything you miss during the reading. He is very understanding and will work with you, genuinely a good teacher

I really respect Professor Ayoub. Ayoub is one of the nicest people you will meet, his DWA101 class was really engaging and full of great learning. Take him if you can!

Professor Ayoub clearly cares about his students. He is approachable, engaging, and always willing to work with his students. His classes are very interesting and his assessments are easy to do well on if you stay engaged in the class.

Professor Ayoub is passionate, organized, interesting and caring. He is my favorite professor by far, and expects good work from students but isn't too harsh of a grader, and is always there if you need support. I highly recommend him as a professor, especially if you are interested in social movements and LGBT rights, as that is his expertise.

If you put in the work, Prof. Ayoub really gives you the opportunity to succeed in his class. He gives dense readings but they are all discussed in class and therefore not overwhelming. He often asks for feedback on his teaching and his class structure and will change things to fit student needs. One of my favorite profs and classes this semester.

Absolutely GOATED. Top 5 Professor at Oxy. Really caring, really clear lectures and grading outlines. Take any of his classes and you will take a lot from it. He truly wants you to succeed and gain knowledge about IR. Really relevant course topics.
