Professor Saleh makes this course both interesting and accessible for students. He offered different methods of participating and really emphasized student comfort levels across the board, and made himself easily reachable outside of class time. His feedback is constructive, and he genuinely wants students to succeed

Grading was based on attendance, a take-home midterm, and a final paper. He is very knowledgable and passionate about the topic. Wants his students to do well and provides clear grading criteria for assignments. Very accommodating. Takes a while to give but grades but that is because he provides in depth feedback. Def take any of his classes!

Saleh is an incredible professor and is very caring. He really helps with office hours and is understanding. One case brief a week, which is 40% of your grade. The final paper and participation make up the rest of your grade. Overall a very interesting class that I would recommend to anyone!

Probably one of my favorite professors at Cornell - he has a really unique vibe that makes it more exciting to go to class. He's super sharp and really engaging. I'd definitely take his classes in the future.

Professor Saleh was a great professor and I enjoyed the class. Attendance was not mandatory, and there were recordings to watch. Just know that there will be a lot of reading to get done everyday.

Grade based on weekly case briefs, a final paper, and attendance/participation. Prof gives great feedback on briefs and the paper in office hours. The group activities planned for the end of lectures are always interesting and applicable to current day, but sometimes confusing due to changing instructions. A great professor who cares and prepares

Professor Saleh is a fantastic educator! He is very accessible and cares a lot about every student. The course is well-structured, and the readings are all relevant and compelling and the lectures are very engaging. I'd highly recommend GOVT3141 if you're interested in mass incarceration and criminal justice reform. 10/10
