Reviews of professor Maryam El-Shall

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor El-Shall is a great professor. There was only two essays, but we worked on the first essay of the semester for about 3/4 of the semester. There are a lot of quizzes and discussions, but they are very easy if you do the reading. Easily accessible and lenient. She will meet you outside of class and give you very insightful feedback.

She is a pretty tough grader and it might be difficult to get a 100% but passing is pretty achievable if you just do the work. I found her feedback very helpful. It was actually a pleasant experience going to class; her lectures were very informative and helpful. She even helped me get through a difficult time in my life after I reached out to her.

The students in my class who complained about her grading were trying to get easy breaks instead of doing their work. If you show up and have your work complete, you will do fine. She is a strict grader but that made me learn more and work harder, not complain to have her lower the standards for subpar work.

Grades were REALLY hard, especially at first. However, it became incredibly evident that Prof. El-Shall cares about her students, she gives thorough feedback, and is ALWAYS available to help/answer question! Her criteria is always clear. I loved this teacher. If you do your best and follow instructions, you will surely pass, and enjoy it as well.

Prof E is phenomenal! I wish I had her for 1101, I think that would have made things slightly easier. There's weekly discussions, replies, & writing assignments. Two major papers that you work through from outlines to rewrites. It's a bit tough, there is work involved but she will help you if you ASK! You will become a stronger writer in her class.

I recommend this professor to anyone. She is very nice, caring, and gives AMAZING feedback that is very helpful! As long as you stay on top of your work, you will pass with a B or above. Weekly there is a:  discussion, assignment, 1-2 short quizzes that are not timed and information is straight from the textbook. Short readings as well. TAKE HER!
