Very mean professor and he tends to pick on students. The class is not a welcoming environment and he seems to enjoy humiliating his students. If you came even a minute late, he would call you out and make you write the vocab hw on the board. He runs the class like a drill sergeant and favors certain students over others. If you were to utter even one side comment, he would erupt on you. If you are taking Arabic, please listen to me and don't take it with him! There are so many better more understanding, chill professors that will actually help you learn. I really hated this class, so glad to be done!

Ahmed is fantastic. One of the best professors at UMD. He's always available to students and really wants to see everyone learn.

Great professor! I wish I had taken the first level with him as well! I learned much more that I expected. He is a very respected and supportive professor. He is very helpful with questions, and he makes sure everyone speaks Arabic and he provides great feedback.

Good professor, very helpful when asked questions and pushed you to participate in class. The course materials and books on the other hand are very unhelpful with vague explanations and no examples to guide you. The books are probably the least user friendly books I have ever used for language instruction.
