I am grateful to you Dr. Watfa for giving me a unique chance in my life to USE my brain officially by an inspiring and intellectual course, where "Thinking Out-Of The Box" was highly applied. You hearten me to work harder and to show all my internal Strengths as to deserve to be called a "successful person".

Your lectures were very inspiring. You’re a wonderful professor who has great skills and pushes us to work harder (at least try). You’ve got a good sense of humour; you make students want to come to class. It’s really nice how you’re social and is always there for your students. A very talented professor, keep up the great work!

Best lecturing style... problem solving and interaction in class ... way ahead of the boring lectures of other professors you have ambivalent feelings about him... one side tells you to curse the moment you registered the course (tough work).. but you know deep inside that all will pay off later .. you would know it the moment you enter another class
I urge that Prof. Watfa returns to AUB along with the other professors that are know leaving

You take a course with him if you want 1) learn research from A-Z 2)get publications
Usually very demanding...so if you have lot to do just dont tell him I have other stuff... This doesnt count for him... Yet you can always tell him am reading papers and stuff like that :P
He is so motivating... You leave his office hours full with ideas... He loves what he does and makes you love it as well...
He is one of the best professors I had...We love you man

A great professor, one of the best I ever had Though at the moment I always felt like kicking him or something, I always appreciated the fact that he always pushed me to do the work and got the best out of me.

Love the enthusiasm in class and outside (ACM & CCS & office hours) I would suggest a problem solving session before the quiz! I still have some ideas for the society I'd love to share them with you, are you still the adviser?
Best of luck in all your endeavors, hope to stay in touch.
