Professor Cooperson is amazing. The best Arabic professor on campus hands down. The fact that I could find him anywhere, walking on campus, eating lunch, even at various demonstrations and protests, and I could *still* ask him for help on my Arabic is a testamant to how much he cares for students' learning. He's funny, which makes it easier to swallow his grading, which at times can be a little on the tough side, but hey, that's the price of learning a great language. Even though with Arabic, you don't get much choice of professors here, consider yourself lucky if you get Prof. Cooperson.

Fall 2017 - I really enjoyed this class, it was a super easy upper div! Professor Cooperson is knowledgeable and clearly cares about what he's teaching. His Powerpoints were easy to follow and got really interesting, especially toward the end when you talk about modern Islam. He provides lists of key terms to know for each quiz, which you should definitely take advantage of. Quizzes were multiple choice and the final was crazy easy -- multiple choice, fill in the blank, labeling a map, and matching. I finished it in 10 minutes. I'd for sure take this class again
