Students agreed that Abdel Tawwab went above and beyond to help
them and was very attentive, which they appreciated very much. She
really cared about the success of her students.
Students felt that the first semester spent too much time on review
and not enough on new concepts. This affected the second semester,
because all new concepts were introduced and explained, making it very
rushed and overwhelming.
Overall, the instructor was great, but the course needs improvement.
