Reviews of professor Mohammad Abdo

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures seemed useless because he wouldn't get to anything useful. He would ramble on way too much and would barely get through one problem on the lectures that he didn't use most of the time reviewing things we already knew. He did well in outside recitation that was in a quiz block, which we had no fore-warning of so many couldnt go.

He is a great teacher and really want every student to get an A while still understanding the topic. Definetly go to his recitation to better understand the material.

Mohammad is an amazing guy who puts in more effort towards his students than an y other teacher I've ever had at KSU. However, his lectures can be somewhat hard to understand since he will typically work on very difficult examples, and if you get lost at any point the rest of lecture can feel worthless. The key is going to office hours!!!!

Abdo lacks the basic skills necessary for teaching. His teaching is hard to follow. Granted he seems like he really cares about his students learning but then he gives out homework that he doesn't cover in class. He once punished students for getting a homework problem right because he "hadn't taught us how to do it yet". Avoid him at all cost.

Great guy, but new to teaching. His lectures are hard to follow. There is a lot of homework and it is weighted almost like tests, but he does give you a lot of extra credit. Make sure to go to his "help sessions" and study his study guide practice problems.

He only cared about a few student's success and was hard to follow in lectures. He also required more time outside of class for attendance. His exams were difficult and required you to use his method of solving problems even when there are easier ways to do some of them.

Dr. Abdo obviously wants to help his students, but he only wants to help in his way and doesn't have much patience for other methods. He claimed attendance isn't mandatory and has "optional" 2.5 hour recitations every Tuesday, but he made attendance 10% of the grade at the end of the semester. Make sure he knows your face to get full attendance.

He's very disorganized and is never clear about what we will be graded on. He told us there will be extra credit throughout the semester but then never offered any. He makes your exam time a mandatory recitation every Tuesday night for 2.5 hours. He said there's no attendance grade but then told us he'll be basing it on how well he knows your face.

HES A LIAR! Not Only is he a terrible professor, but he is a straight up LIAR. He told THE ENTIRE LECTURE HALL That there would be an extra credit the size of an exam, and then never followed through, and left emails un-responded to. He called me a bad engineer DURING AN EXAM. I hope bad things happen to him and his family right in front of him.
