Reviews of professor Salem Abo-Zaid

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of my favorite professors. Lectures are engaging and he is always willing to answer questions. He boils down the material to a level where it is less abstract than other economics courses, and makes models actually applicable to the real world. Practice exams and mathematical derivations are very helpful. Study those& do your homework (1x/week)

Professor Abo-Zaid is a wonderful professor and he really cares for students. He is really good at explaining the concepts in a very clear way. His lectures are very helpful and the problem sets and practice exams are very helpful as well. I would highly recommend this professor for all courses in Economics.

Professor Abo-Zaid is a top-tier economics professor! His lectures are inspirational, well-explained, engaging, and get you interested in the material. There is one homework per week, which is a piece of cake if you take notes. Exams are nearly identical to lectures, so take good notes, and you should have a great time! 100% recommend.

I have taken Professor Abo-Zaid for 3 semesters straight and this course was probably his more complex one. He does not force attendance, but he welcomes questions and is very informative. This course was very useful for real world application, i.e EXCEL. Tests were in relation to lectures.

If he is available as the professor for a class you need to take, take him without hesitation. He is accessible outside of class and grades work with feedback quickly. He is very kind and presents the material well. One of my favorite professors so far at UMBC. For the class I took, as long as you pay attention and apply yourself you will get an A.

Pr. Abo-Zaid is a really caring person. There is homework is once a week, it is always due before class starts and is almost always multiple choice. Although lectures can be a difficult, his exams are based off the homework and the study guide. Thumbs up!

Professor Abo-Zaid is amazing!! You go over Excel, Stata, and MatLab, and he breaks down and simplifies each software really well. He really cares about his students, and wants to make sure you pass. Easy homework assignments every week, 2 midterms, final, and 1 project. Midterms are open-note so there's no way to fail. Overall, really caring guy.

SAZ is a great person. He is very caring and will answer any and all questions about the material. He is straight forward with expectations and doesn't try and trick you on exams. 2 exams & final (final is worth 40%) with HW thru/out sem. HW is simple and not too time consuming. Just study the prob sets for exam & pay attention to lectures for A
