Mustafa's German class was not hard at all. Pretty much everyone is participating all the time cause he just randomly chooses students to say things.

LOVED him in the beginning. I did ALL the work and got an A on every. single. assignment. Never missed a class and actively listened. I deserved an A... but I did not participate as much as the 3 kids that spoke the whole semester so I got a C. A grade I DIDN'T deserve. When I went to talk to him, he was super unsympathetic. Lost all respect.

Overall I really hate history, and I've always had lower than a C in all of my history classes, but when Dr. Mustafa explained it everything was just so interesting and fun. The discussions were OK, but you have to participate to get a good grade in the end, lectures are very important so definitely pay attention and take good notes.

Most German assignments are due online on the course website. He gives out homework but it is online and it's extremely easy. Sometimes it's incomplete until you get it right. In which, you are given a 100% on that assignment.

Professor Mustafa remains to be the most fantastic professor I have ever studied under. I took his class twice after failing to go the first time around. The structure of the class is a short reading, and discussion where participation and understanding of key points are crucial. It was the most fun and well structured class I've ever had.

excellent professor/usually lets out a few minutes early/ he has lots of patience since he knows learning a new language takes time/ every exam is online/ get the textbook thru the link he gives you bc otherwise it probably wont be the right one/ final grade is a group translation project, and two online final exams

Amazing professor. I am always excited to go to his class and listen to his lectures. Work load is very manageable and is very well explained. He is very understanding and lively while teaching. I enjoyed his class so much I can't wait to take other classes of his in the future. He is a must take.

Mustafa is a great professor! I took him for a 100 level History class, and he knows so much about every topic! His power points are just pictures though so you have to take notes from his voice, and if you miss class you're screwed. I didn't miss any classes and still didn't do well on his tests because they're that difficult.

Mustafa is the best professor I have had so far. I have had him for two semesters and would want to take more classes with him. I didn't do as well as I hoped in his class, but that was 100% my fault. Great professor and a great man.

Lectures are fascinating and easy to follow. I have taken him every semester at Ramapo College and I plan to continue to take his classes. Mustafa's voice is so soothing, I 100% recommend taking one of his classes.

Mustafa is the best professor I've had--I went out of my way to take him again for World Civ 2. No weekly quizzes or pop quizzes, everything is on syllabus, he does not use a textbook. However, you need to listen to him as he does not write anything on the slides. It makes you listen, though, so you remember everything while writing it down.

Professor Mustafa was possibly the best professor I had this semester. I am not much of a history fanatic (especially not early world civilizations), but he made the class extremely interesting an engaging. 8 discussions throughout the semester which you must participate in and 3 online quizzes which are not hard as long as you take good notes.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Lecture style, but at the same time teaches like he's having a conversation with you. Content is interesting and lectures are enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

Mustafa is one of the best professors I've ever had. I learn the most from him and am eager to take more classes with him as he is knowledgeable, eager about the subject and his lectures are not boring, they are full of information that you sort of have to pay attention to.

Dr. Mustafa is a real gem. I am not a history lover, but he made me love history. His lectures are fascinating and class discussions were respectful. He gives out four online quizzes, but they are easy if you take the initiative to go to the extra help sessions.

Love and hate relationship with Mustafa. The guy is really smart, funny and interesting. Definitely makes the class more interesting. Participation matters- you literally sit in a circle and he marks you down if you talk enough and grades you at end. His word is final. One large paper broken into 3 parts. Not too bad for a 300 level.

Comment:

This guy is by far the smartest professor Ive had at Ramapo. He loves teaching and he knows his stuff. The class consisted of 4 quizzes a paper at the end of the semester and participation in group discussion. He lectures with some pictures but makes lecture interesting each class usually consists of 6-7 pages of notes which you use to study for.
