Spring 2020 - Ustadh Amr is absolutely delightful! He always delivers insightful lectures while also keeping them fun and engaging. I personally look up to him as I know that when anyone asks for anything--help in class or even advice outside of class--he is genuinely glad and ready to give 200%. As for the class, it is not too much work, but you will still learn a lot about the Arabic language as well as the culture! Easy and meaningful class to take with Amr, definitely recommend!!!

Fall 2019 - I took AN N EA 15W with Dr. Cooney as the professor and Amr Shahat as the TA and I really enjoyed the class (my section was a hybrid with Dr. Cooney's lectures online and my discussion sections with Amr in person). I would definitely recommend taking the course with Amr as the TA. He did a great job of expanding on the course material in discussion + reviewing it with us, and he also tied the material into different areas of history and the present. The final essay for this class sounded overwhelming when they first described it to us, but the course breaks the project down into manageable steps/checkpoints so you don't have to stress as much. Amr was also very available to answer questions via email or during office hours, help us find more resources for our papers, and work with us on our outlines/drafts. I was definitely a little nervous about taking this class because I don't have much of a history background, but I ended up really enjoying it and if you're looking for a solid writing 2 class, I'd definitely recommend this one.
