Prof. Al-Souki was an excellent Arabic professor. After taking a year off, Prof. Al-Souki helped me seamlessly transition back into the flow of things. His expertise in the language is evident throughout the semester, as he helps you navigate all of the various nuances that come with speaking the language. Id highly recommend him for MIST classes

Professor Al-Souki has been one of the best professors Ive had. He has lead me on an educational journey through the forest of Colgate. His presence has enriched my life. 10/10 would take his class again.

Prof. A-S is the man! Without fail, he began every class with a 15-minute stand-up routine filled with an array of raunchy yet school-appropriate jokes. Prof. A-S would then begin his daily lecture, which was always inspiring. I can't wait to take another class with Prof. A-S! His style of teaching changed my life, and I'll never be the same again.

An amazing experience. Discussions of American involvement in the Middle East are always rich and tasteful. He fosters an engaging work environment and wants to hear what his students have to say. Take a class with this professor if you have the opportunity! Be careful with attendance, however, since you can only miss 3 times a semester.

Really great class - makes the material exciting and interesting to learn. If youre in the Arabic department at colgate he is a must take!

Professor Al-Souki made the material easy to understand. Had no previous experience in Arabic beforehand, but made the transition into the language very easy. He also brought the whole class ice cream once which was a huge plus.

Colgate is known for its great faculty. Omar is no exception to this rule. After taking Legacies of the Ancient World in the spring of 2021 through zoom, he was truly one of the most passionate and engaging professors. He required our cameras to be on - but made each class well worth attending. I hope to take another one of his classes.

Professor Al-Souki is one of the hardest professors Ive met. DO NOT be discouraged by this, he wants what is best for his students. He has spent hours with me in office hours and has even invited me to have dinner with his wife and son to continue my studies. I would love to take more classes with him and hope this professor gets tenure!
