Amazing class. You will write a LOT for this class (over 100 pages by the end of the semester) but it is really interesting and she is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the class material. She is very nice and approachable about grading and also rarely gives out "bad" grades.
The exams:
1) One "big" essay (prompt / question / topic is given beforehand, may prepare at home and bring in on day of exam)
2) several "mini" essays (topics are given beforehand as well) This was the only part of the class I didn't like but still it is beneficial because it makes you learn about middle eastern culture. There might be 4 or 5 "possible mini essays" and you will end up turning in only one. If you prepare them at home, which I HIGHLY recommend (because you don't want to sit in the room at 8am on exam day and write out these essays) you can leave after you turn in the one that is chosen by them, but that also means you spend a lot of time writing stuff that wont ever be graded.
Even if you have no interest in Middle East studies, you should still take this class. You will write a lot like I said but a 4.0 is not very hard. Near the end of my class they handed out a 25 point extra credit project which I think many people received full credit on. You need 620/650 to 4.0 this class so that was pretty substantial. Buy all the books they list also and you'll learn tons about something you most likely knew little about. Awesome class.

Carol Fisher is the cutest, sweetest professor at MSU. She wants everyone to do well and you will 4.0 the class if you go daily. The exams are all essays that you can write at home and turn in. The other part of the exam involves identifying pictures! This class it great -- only downfall, it's @ 8am. Carol will make you want to go to class though -- definitely an easy iah!

Awesome Class- If you are willing to go to class everyday. You will 4.0. Do not take this class if you don't plan on going everyday tho. You will fall way behind. There is a lot of work for this class, but everything is graded really easy and nothing is to difficult. Also there is a lot of EC so even if you screw something up you will be fine. Overall one of the best classes at MSU for sure.

What a sweet woman! Carol is so nice and really bends over backwards for her students. Just do your assignments and you will be graded fairly. This is the first 8am course I've taken I actually didn't mind attending! I was in the Honors section and it really wasn't all that difficult - a lot of work, certainly, but manageable if you keep up on the assignments. I highly recommend Carol + IAH 211d!

I had Ron and his wife Carol for my Islam and the middle east class Last year. I Suggest taking it if you can. First of all they are old and cute and have little bickers infront of the class. Also they are very nice and understanding about problems. They cover alot of things, but it is almost all interesting and they let you take your notes in for the tests. Just attend classes and take notes and you will easily 4.0 this class.
The only down side is Ron can get a bit boring with his lectures but just get an extra big Coffee to get through it. Carol is so excited and loves everything she is talking about, and they both have stories from thier trips and know what they are talking about.

Make sure you take this class! It's is really easy and they want their student's to do well and they are really flexible and understanding about things. The material is interesting and the assignment are pretty simple. I would highly recommend them and they are definitley the best professors I have had at Michigan State so Far. Carol is the sweetest woman you will ever meet, and she really loves her students. Her husband is great too and they are both so intelligent about what they are teaching. For the tests we could use our notes and they won't make you memorize things. I learned SOO much in this class just by waking up and being there. TAKE THIS CLASS...they are FABULOUS!

Gret teacher(s). She along with her husband teach a wide array of info. All tests are open note, so if you go to class, you are set for the term. Plenty of extra credit, I didn't need to take 1/2 the final.
