Reviews of professor Tarek Elhaik

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dumpster fire of a class. Had no idea what this class was even about. Prof had an 'underwater theme' for our quarter. Assignments were not graded on time so no one has any track record of how their doing while still turning in assignments. Avoid at all cost.

God awful professor and overly cocky and disrespectful TA. Wouldn't take this class again if it were the last thing I would ever do.

Tarik is very kind despite coming off as intimidating the first couple days of class. The visual aids provided in lecture are very fascinating, but the material may feel heady at times. He recognizes flaws in the thinkers studied and is very accommodating if you need help better understanding the thinkers discussed.

A real solid choice! The class was very insightful and although the readings were hard at times, they turned out to be very meaningful and pertinent to current issues. Very understanding and is very good at explaining what he expected out of us

Readings were really challenging at times, but his main point for the course was very compelling and forced me to reexamine the way I see the world. He is first and foremost a film scholar, so be ready to watch many films. He is super easy to talk to if you have questions about class or want to discuss the concepts further. Definitely recommend him

The professor seems fine & like he was passionate about the material, however, I would not recommend ANT 135. It was very boring, uninteresting, overly theoretical, & barely comprehensible. His lectures & the readings (which are so, so long) had the same issues. Not an easy A, but despite not knowing what was going on, I got one anyways.

Not only was it a misleading class, but it wasn't even that profound or interesting. In a class about media, we spent more time discussing marine life than we did actual technology and media. The final was also a joke; the requirements were really restrictive yet it was unclear what exactly what we were supposed to write; avoid this class
