Reviews of professor Nour-Eddine Maghnaoui

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I enjoyed this class because it provoked me to challenge my privileges and understand the challenges of the Justice system. Nour is a very passionate prof; his lectures are eye opening and include very recent examples (he cites the CBC News a lot though. LoL). Make sure that you attend the exam review class.

Nour is a great instructor. He is very understanding and supportive. Since day one, he gave us all the assignments and explained them in detail. However, his exams are pretty hard, especially the short answer questions. So, make sure that you study for the exam; guessing will not help you.

Nour is a pretty helpful. He sat with me for over one hour to help me refine my research topic and he suggested resources that helped me complete it. I had a hard time though in the first midterm as I missed a few weeks due to illness. But I did well in the papers and final. Make sure you study the study guide and attend the class review; .

His power points are accessible outside of classes, but attendance is definitely a must because topics are mentioned that are on the exams. Beware of pop quizzes though, always have to keep on top of your reading for each chapter for exams and quizzes. Very nice prof, he wants you to do well, and helpful when it comes to the synthesis project.

- His powerpoint are solid blocks of info instead of sentences with key points - Gives us life lessons instead of teaching and then blames us for taking up to much time. - Doesn't understand that we take other classes and have jobs as well. - He treats us like kids and doesn't understand that if we fail thats our problem.

I took Crim-166 with Nour in the midst of covid. He did a great job transitioning. He's very caring about students and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. I loved attending every lecture even if it was online. He's passionate about the subject and definitely knows his stuff. If you're interested in crim, I would highly recommend taking his class

Nour is very passionate about his class, assisted me whenever I needed, and has been very understanding. His slides are amazing for class and studying outside of class highly recommend.

Absolutely awful prof, talks quickly, expects you to do all of your note taking at home, and opened at the beginning of the semester by telling us how we are disappointments to our family if we don't show up to class. Expects citation in exams and is completely unreasonable in his assignments and methods. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Energetic & speaks with passion although his lectures are very rich with information I used his citations in the slides for my other class assignments. If you show up to his review classes before the exam, review the exam study guide & read the required chapters youll easily get an A in the exam.
