Students from Hawraa Alzouwain's Immersive Arabic I course said, "Arabic is challenging, but she [Alzouwain] makes it incredibly easier by working with us so much and even creating new worksheets and practices for what we are specifically struggling on," and "Dr. Alzouwain is an incredible professor who goes above and beyond to see her students succeed. You can clearly tell that she is passionate about the Arabic language, and because of that, does her best to make sure everyone in her class develops an appreciation for it. I would highly recommend Dr. Alzouwain's class to anyone looking to take a language class at UARK.شكراً يا أستاذة حوراء"
