Only professor at UCI who responded to my emails seeking direction and help with my career, extremely generous with time and truly a caring individual. Thank you professor for being there for your students especially when the school does not help. I will pay it forward as you so eloquently stated when I thanked you.

Had Dr Fawaz for a Strategy course at UCI and highly recommend you take him. A bit heavy on assignments but a fair grader.

2 weeks on the waitlist for business leadership but worth the wait...simply a remarkable professor, keeps you on your toes and engaged throughout the lectures. I actually look forward to his lectures and cannot say I felt that in any other courses.

Fawaz is simply amazing. Take his courses and you just might learn something :). Love the way his lectures and how he involves everyone in the class whether they like to participate or not, so watch out if you don't want to be cold called upon, he is notorious for doing that. Oh ya, no phones allowed during lectures. I applied what I learned from his negotiation course last term and got myself a serious promotion at work, so thank you Fawaz, you're my hero.

there aren't many teachers out there that are as kind hearted and caring about their students. Fawaz sets the bar high and went out of his way to help me and I appreciate that. thank you for being an amazing person and doing all that you do.

great non-sense professor, works you super hard but you learn more in the end than you would expect. Heavy on current events and notorious for cold calling so be prepared before class, and oh yes, there is a quiz due before every lecture. Hard but highly recommend him.

by far the best professor I ever had and not just at uci. not only he teaches well, but makes sure you learned. my favorite thing about his teaching style is the option to select your own interest, hellooo, why don't all professors do that? I hated studying old case studies in my MBA program but Fawaz brought on current and -literally going on now-cases. We worked on pharmaceutical companies developing covid vaccines and this was back in the fall and almost every thing we predicted would happen, we are living today. thank you Fawaz of being human and caring about student learning. I am forever grateful and you always taught us, I will pay it forward. Bless you heart!

too much work for a negotiation course I just finished. if you are looking for an easy grade skip his course. love his TA who helps a lot after hours. Fawaz is tough but you learn a lot. impossible to negotiate a better grade in his course which is ironic considering the topic. do not skip any assignments and you will earn an A. overall, Fawaz is an amazing lecturer and amazing person. he worked with our group on weekends to make sure we mastered the concepts and my absolute favorite thing is that his projects are real life and current. we worked on covid vaccine companies and I must say I was always looking forward to our zoom meetings. he is very engaging and encourages participation so you are not simply watching a show but a part of it. for sure take him because a B in his course is better than A I had in other courses.

Taking Negotiation with Dr. Fawaz now. Love his course outline especially the weekly reflection papers. As a mother caring for children at home during Covid, his course format kept me in the loop and his flexibility is humbling. Love his zoom lectures and how he engages us. Credit goes to his TA as well who communicates with us constantly and responds to my email almost instantly. Learning a lot and have practiced his methods on my kids, haha. Thank you Fawaz, I will always remember this course.

Professor Fawaz is very encouraging, inspiring, and respectful. He has a very thoughtful approach to fully employed students. By far, he is the most prepared professor at UCI and takes total interest in teaching. Very down to earth and approachable.

Not an easy course but Dr. Fawaz was awesome. I think you should take him. What students say about him is true. Just do not use your phone in class he will not be happy. Ah...and do not ever walk in late to class because he will ask you to explain to all in a funny way but still embarrassing. Lots of work and beware that all his tests are from class discussion so take notes.

What I love most about Fawaz is his openness to new perspectives, invited conversations, and the way he challenges all students in teh class to speak out without fear of judgement. I wish other professors at UCI take his class and learn how to treat students with respect and truly teach them instead of judge them. Thank you Professor Fawaz and I will never forget the way you positively impacted my life.
