Best Professor I have had at UC Berkeley. But, don’t get me wrong, you will have to work for your grade and bring creative thinking with you.

Professor Shahat's class was one of the most anticipated classes I've taken at Berkeley. The course offered a well-rounded approach to Egyptian history and geography.
