Winter 2022 - This class with prof Cooperson was great. There were only 3 students total in the class, so you get a lot of time with the professor. It consisted of us looking at and analyzing Arabic media - news, talk shows, random YouTube videos. The final project was picking a short YouTube video, translating it, and publishing it with subtitles. Towards the end of class, the class turned into a translation course. Overall, great class and awesome professor.

Winter 2021 - Cooperson is phenomenal and a true polyglot! He is so knowledgeable, and I really did learn more from this class than all the Arabic classes I've taken (I'm an Arabic major). Put in the effort into the assignments and you should be fine as he gives you multiple tries to get a 100%. HIGHLY recommend this class!

I took Arabic 150 Classical Arabic Lit in English with Prof. Cooperson. He's such a chill teacher and amazingly smart for his young age. He knows a billion languages and seems to have native fluency in them. His class wasn't difficult and at the same time, I learned a whole lot! There are three quizzes, three short papers on a topic of your choice among a list of a bunch of possibilities, and there's a final. The quizzes and final consist of ID's, a couple multiple choice, and maps. On those quizzes you usually have a choice on what you answer. Also, he hands out all the readings and we didn't have to buy a book. BUT read all the readings CAREFULLY! Lots of questions on quizzes are regarding specifics in them. Really cool professor and his class was my favorite of last quarter.
