Honestly, it's pretty standard compared to ARAB 1010 and 1020, which have weeks dedicated to specific chapters in the textbooks with associated exams. This course has grammar rules that you will continue to use into ARAB 2020, so lock in and you'll do well once you upgrade textbooks going into 2020. I say that particularly because there's less emphasis (still there don't get me wrong) on grammar and more so on vocab expansion for 2020, so hammering home concepts present in 2010 will go a long way. Prof Suad will do her due diligence but it's up to you as the student to follow up on that energy and study up!
