MENA Wikipedia Education Program meeting, Ahmed Abd Rabou

Professor Ahmed Abd Rabou
Interviewed on 10/17/11
Introduced by Dr. Iman from Ain Shams (Theatre Professor)
Cairo University
Took pictures of the Methodology Syllabus (check phone)
Teaches two classes on Methodology, 60 Students total (Arabic and English). Interesting that 2 are Chinese students who speak Arabic and Asian Politics (taught in Arabic for Post-Graduate Students, 8 in total)
The methodology course focuses on: interviews, discourse, analysis, how to research, etc.

Send him an email that sets up the process and page for the course so he can fill out the wiki page (Adel's rec as well)
Connect him with Annie
Do this by Thursday because he is briefing his students by Thursday, 10/20
Ask for a soft copy of their syllabus

He provided me with a syllabus of the examples.
He could teach the students about how to use citations in Political Sciences and how to reference in these subjects
Listen to recording, 30:00 about syllabus breakdown for details
Ahmed could incentivize the courses by giving students extra points for doing their assignments on WP.

Ahmed seems quite energetic, willing to innovate and energetic.
It seems that the professors who have lived outside of Egypt are more willing to accept the curriculum of GEP. I think this has something to do with their willingness to innovate, or their experience in seeing new systems of learning. They've looked outside of their own surroundings.
