Winter 2016 - Fatima was a great literature instructor. Class was always very engaging and her assignments were interesting. It also helps that she provided a majority of the readings and that we often watched films or TV show episodes to discuss in class. The class is by no means easy but you do learn from it and she provides a lot of help in her office hours. Its not really an easy GE but it isn't overly difficult either.
