I will not be taking one of gabi's courses AGAIN!! His lectures are just all over the place, the assignments DO NOT relate to the tests the textbook in any way. He gives basically no information on whats going to be on the tests, and just overall kind of mean towards students. Im not sure how Gabi is still a teacher here.

I will NOT take his class AGAIN! Assignments did not relate to tests or textbooks whatsoever. Grading was considered incorrect, even if you were trying to show your understanding. He is plain rude towards students. IDK how he is still a teacher here

Gabi told us in the first 5 minutes of the first lecture what it would take to pass. Do not fall behind and you'll be okay. The only time I had trouble was when I put off homework and got behind, it is hard to catch up

Dull, dry lectures that are filled with nothing but graphs. No compassion for student situations either. Keep up or drop out. I don't find he has much ability to properly convey the material and I'm only taking his course because it's required. Dennis Nguyen was a much better professor but they have to alternate teaching this course.

I really like Gabi!! I found his lectures to be very engaging, and interesting enough to follow. He uses A LOT of graphs, but I've learned through macro and micro economics that graphs are a recurring theme. I think he does a really good job at explaining concepts, as you will need to understand the information more than memorizing it.

Gabbi grew on me! He's hilarious but can be very strict. Get ready to read the whole textbook and know it. His in person classes are confusing so you'll have to teach yourself, your best friend will be youtube but overall he's not bad but not the best.

He does not give engaging lectures, he always tries to be funny but fails. Don't expect respect and care from him.

Even though he is kinda rude and strict sometimes, his lecture and teaching techniques are pretty effective. Believe me or not, after studying with some others profs, he is still the best prof for me.

Professor gabi is often perceived as very strict, but i would suggest all the BBA students take his course instead of Applied Maths. He is compassionate in certain ways while grading the paper. He is stern and true to his words. i would gladly recommend him over any other boring and monotonous professors on campus.

After reading the negative review, I did not expect a positive experience. He is the best, I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews. He is strict, but also funny at times. Gives too much emphasis on the textbook. He curves the marks I think. Exams were decent, very much focused on the assignments. I will take another course with him.

Gabi knows his stuff, I have taken 3 courses with him and he really explains the concepts well. Sets expectations beforehand, encourages questions. Tests cover class material.

Would be a better fit as a second year or third year professor BUT not a first year. He isnt welcoming, doesnt spark passion or engage students, and is rude to first years when asked simple questions. He has no tolerance for literally anything. Idk why he still teaches first year courses when he chases students out with his “approaches” to teaching
