GENG 215: Introduction to Ethics and Design: Fall 2013, enrollment 35:
Students’ quotes from course and instructor final evaluation for Fall 2013:
“Ethics is one of the difficult course in CRU and hard to understand. However, our doctor abdulaziz made it very easy and enjoyable. He's like our big brother. He did his best to help us. I cannot imagine myself being taught ethics by another instructor. I think he's without doubt the best who's teaching this subject in UAEU. He's using his previous experience and knowledge to simplify the course. What a perfect doctor he is.”
“The most enjoyable and interesting course I ever attend! Seriously I enjoyed every second on it, I loved the course I learned a lot from ethics and I enjoyed the design part. Additionally, this course is the definition of reality, I learned, I do it in real life! Beside, Dr. Abdul Aziz was way too helpful, even if I'm yawning in his class I got the idea because of his examples from life. Thanks because I attend a class like this, it will be a memorable course!”
