Basic Info:

Attendance and Participation: 30%
Weekly Quizzes: 20%
Response Papers: 25% (3 out of 4 prompts, 300-500 words each)
Final Paper: 20% (6 pages comparing 2 academic articles' research methodologies)
Co-Curricular Event: 5%

Midterms/Finals: None
Homework: Reading heavy. It can be up to 70-80+ pages a week of reading, and often bits from the reading appear on Quizzes. However, there were multiple weeks I didn't bother with the reading and still got full credit.
Attendance: Discussion attendance required. Lecture attendance is as well, there are 5 "pop-writes" in Lecture throughout term that make up 5% of your grade. You have one excused absence, but beyond that it gets tricky.
Other: There is a no-electronics policy for this class - not even for notes.

Overall it was a pretty easy class, there was definitely a learning curve between the Muslims in the class and the Non-Muslims, but even for the Muslims this class went into detail on a lot of aspects that are unfamiliar to many. Notably, this isn't a religious theory class: so don't expect in detail discussions about say, Quranic verses or the concept of Tawhid. More so, it describes the interaction of Islam with the world: for example, topics like Islam and Linguistics (Translation), the concept of Waqf and application of Islamic trust in history, etc.

The work isn't too bad, it's definitely a lot of dense reading but most of it is skimable for those with some prior background on Islamic studies and history. The final paper is a bit tedious, but not unbelievably difficult. You get a lot of help and go through it step by step w/ your TA. The quizzes and weekly response papers are pretty light provided you at least have a general idea of the reading. The Co-Curricular event was pretty fun as well.

Professor Yarbrough is a great lecturer. He explains everything very well and is very approachable. Mohsin Ali's lectures were pretty good as well. However, Professor Slyomoics' lectures were painfully boring, not well organized, and a pain to get through (Though I will say her body of work was pretty impressive). In terms of TA's, they aren't created equal and having a good relationship with your TA makes the class way easier or harder. I had Fadhila Hadjeris, who was extremely nice and a pretty light grader, albeit pretty useless in terms of asking for help or feedback. I heard Azeem Malik is a difficult grader, but pretty helpful, though I cannot speak from experience.

Overall, Its not an amazing class but not a terrible one. It can be boring at time, some of the assignments are vague and the reading is heavy. It is a pretty easy A, though, and the Professors are pretty helpful and nice (besides Slyomovics). But all in all you learn a lot, even if you are a Muslim, and if you are a STEM student it's great to kill a lot of GEs.
