Most Helpful Review
Makdisi was very effective and taught grammar extremely well. However, she was very impersonal and lacked friendliness and often laughed at students when they asked questions that she thought were stupid. She prepared us well for the second exam but failed to do so on the first and third. Especially on the third since she was absent for 3 straight days and had a student teacher come in who taught us nothing. When she came back she didn't even graze what we had missed with her. When the exam finally came, the grades were not stellar. You pretty much have to kiss a lot of ass to get on her good side. I would not recommend taking this class with her.
