LISTEN TO ME!!!!! i took professor Morony after taking a look at his syllabus- bad decision. He is completely unfair when grading the papers (me and my friend had the same exact info in our papers and got two completely different grades). Furthermore, he sucks in office hours. he wont budge with regrading papers or helping you out with clarifications. his lectures are too boring and there is honestly no point of going. the final screws everyone over and honestly i think he gets a kick out of it. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS UNLESS FOR SOME REASON YOU ARE AN ISLAM HISTORY FANATIC AND KNOW EVERYTHING. he expects you to be a islamic historian basically and doesnt seem to understand that were just students and arent professionals on the topic. HE ESPECIALLY DOESNT UNDERSTAND what the point of office hours is.... he literally gives you a blank stare and personally i think just lowers your grade for using his time. MY ADVICE: find another class!!!!!!
