**I didn't have prof. Kinda Al Rifae, I had Brady Ryan (who was a grad student under her advisement I believe)**
I loved this class; it was by far my favorite of the quarter. My professor was so well prepared every time. I learned so much Arabic and got an amazing sense of achievement from this class. It did require a very high workload, but the workload was definitely worth it in my opinion since there was no busywork (everything we did was valuable). I will definitely be taking at least one more year, possibly even majoring in Arabic just from this class. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in learning a super fun and engaging language with very small class size.
