Reviews of professor Syed Abbas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
To make it simple, this professor does not care about his students. You would think that the class would be easier since we are in the middle of a pandemic, but do not get hopes up... This class was actually 10x harder, even though it was all online (and only 5 exams). My advice: take this class somewhere else and do NOT take it with this professor

Everything is based off powerpoints which he uploads on blackboard. Get ready to memorize A LOT. If you can't drill and memorize don't expect to do well. As long as you memorize everything on the powerpoints you'll do fine on exams. Lab is 40% of the grade and lecture is 60%. Final isn't cummulative. Overall he makes class fun and would take again.

Dr. Abbas is a very good professor even tho that A&P is a hard course. Get ready to take a lot of tests because there's A LOT. He passes around a sheet for attendance (sometimes he gives you extra pts. on tests based on your attendance). Tests are all multiple choice and final is not cumulative. A&P is hard but he makes it worth while. Funny too.

Despite the majority of the class failing the exams, the professor didn't care unless every single person failed. Don't bother asking questions, he won't know the answers to them. Very accessible outside of class, but he only provides so much help and direction. If you don't understand the material, he will tell you to watch a video on YouTube.

Horrible professor, Ive never struggled with any science class prior to him. Please take this class at another university save yourself the stress, he took turns making exams with Potter for online and after sitting down looking at my exam the questions he said were right were wrong but no credit given back due to his big ego.

Dr. Abbas was great! His slides have extreme emphasis on what you need to know for the exams. There is a LOT of content which is to be expected as it is an anatomy course. Professor Abbas also cracks in funny jokes and remarks in class which I personally enjoyed. Prepare to study a lot!

Dr. Abbas is an amazing teacher and a great mentor. I would 100% take his classes again. Yes, you have to put in a lot of effort because it's A&P, it's going to be a stressful course no matter who teaches it. Wish he taught more than just anatomy at CCSU.

Great caring dude, genuinely cares for his students, and try to help them learn the material as easily as possible. Throws some humor into class to make it more enjoyable, and does a great job with the reviews before exams.

Dr. Abbas is a great professor. If you're looking for a class that you can slack off on and still get by this is probably not it. He teaches difficult courses and expects his students to learn, he cracks jokes in class which is a great way to get through the difficult material. He's available to his students and cares about you doing well.
