He's pretty chill..he might seem strict sometimes but in the end as long as u try he will give u a good grade..class is easy

Oh boy! He makes workout a lot. You get so tired. If you are not a big fan of exercising, give yourself a break and take a class with another teacher. Easy? Maybe.

Aboshadi man you rock the best fitness teacher. Excellent informative lectures. Clear to the point exams. Good workouts, hes the man

Helps you out when you needed. Gives you breaks. Exams are easy. All around gr8 professor.

Best instructor I've ever had!

Very nice and friendly. Things can sometimes be a little unclear but only because the PED class is ALWAYS a 'rushed' class because most ppl dont want to spend 16 weeks just for a 1 or 2 credit class. If you take the time to ask him questions or email him he IS very helpful! great guy

Prof. Aboshadi is a great teacher!!!You should take a class with him because you can get an easy A,but you have to finish all the labs he gives to you.

Not always the most clear, but actually fairly knowledgeable. I didn't ask for or receive any extra help, but many did. Sometimes impatient, and watch out, he does expect you to exercise! Hard. Good chance to learn the basics though.

great teach! you only have a final and midterm and if u study the book u will get an A+++ on the exams. the midterm is in 2 parts one part on paper and the other is exersice <dont worry if he sees you are in the correct position u will get full points, he doesnt count how many push up u can do. Highly reccomended!

i took his class during summer of 2005 and an A. The good thing about his class is that he does not expect the students to study for a physical education class. As long as you go to class and you are okay with going outside and play and have fun, you will do good

I took the two credit class yet still only had to write one short paper with a group and took only one easy test. He is big on participation so even if you are not very fit all you have to do is improve so largely just show up and try to do whatever the class is doing that day and you will get an A.

Professor Aboshadi is a great professor. if you participate in the exercises, come to class, be part of the discussion in class you will automatically get an A. if he sees you trying your best he will help you when it comes to grading. i got an easy A. i recomend it to any one.

He was very good professor, I took an ELI class with him. I received an A. Just do the work and read the book. Everything comes directly out of the book. I hate reading, but it wasn't that bad because everything was very interesting.

THE BEST!!!He's really good teacher. The whole class enjoyed his class. He replied my e-mail super quick-less than an hour. I thought I wasn't gonna like the class but I LOVE IT. He realizes that people has life besides school. Pretty flexible with homework and attendance, totally respecful and maybe strict-classroom behaviors.

This class was very fun & easy. He's a great motivator and doesn't really worry about tests & bookwork. He really wants you to get in the habit of working out and making it a part of your daily routine.

Great teacher! He teaches karate at Annandale and Alexandria and is a 3rd degree black belt. If you apply yourself, you will get a great workout. If you're interested to see what karate is all about and need the credit, I recommend him very much.

do what he tells you to do and you can get A.IT my word take his class you like him.

Wow I took soccer 150 and man it was awesome. I mean, if you love soccer this is your class. You get to play everytime, and the test is a piece of cake (I didnt even study) I mean if you know soccer you'll simply get an A.

I took this course online and it was very easy. You have to read the book for the tests and complete the assignments to get an easy A.

He is great, I got an A in his 2 credits class. you need to be active in his class both in the Gym and for homeworks which these are the purposes of having a PED class. I have learned a lot in this class. Thank you Dr. Aboshadi

He loves what he teaches, the whole point of this class is understanding the importance of your health. This includes exercise (running, push ups..) 3 tests , one being a physical and attendance is important

He's a great teacher. He tries to make it fun and makes the class laugh with his humor. However, it is not an easy A. You must do the work. Go to class, do the labs and you will do fine.

I love this guy! He seems really mean at first, but slowly he gets better. I took his soccer class and had a lot of fun.

I swear to God he's a chilling professor you just have to be nice repectful show up on time attend all classes do to the homeworks guranteed you will recieve an A.( Exams midterm & final 50 muliple choice question) I took it in the summer Guranteed white hearted professor.

He is one of the best professors in NOVA. There were two exams. One was Midterm and The final exam. Both of these tests were very easy. If you're present during his lecture, you won't fail in his class. take him if you. I will definitely recommend him to everybody.

Go 2 class, turn in the short labs, he gives you study guide for mid and final. The questions comes straight from the study guide. Their was one group project. he goes over the chap for 45 min then you go to play bball, soccer, volleyball or you can go to the weight room. Easy n Fun if you put just a lil effort. I got an A.

nice teacher, he gives study guides and test are T or F and multiple choice. he tells you what will be on the test (in which is very helpful).

he is ok as long as u do wat ur asked 2...itz an easy A..da only thing u'll b sufferin wid is basketball games n soccer!

Like everyone have say, EASY "A",2 exams(midterm and final)and if you do the homework you'll have an "A"

Very good teacher. Easy A

Dr. Aboshadi is awesome. You will run, play soccer, do pushups and squats. Dr. Aboshadi teaches you simple excersizes to stay fit and have a healthy life. Even though the class is required it is very useful. Also, don't listen to the bookstore about the book that is required for the course. The Fit&Well book is on amazon for 5 bucks.

He is really passionate about Karate! I took him over the summer and got an A, but you can't miss a class and you have to do some practice at home

Mad easy A. And the dude is awesome. TAKE HIS CLASS.

He is an awsome teacher, very fun and very easy. Makes his lectures fun. He is a funny person. Guranteed to make you laugh. Do the textbook work and listen and must attend regularly. Easy tests. He tells you what will be in the test.

Easy A, Pay attention when he says something on the slides will be on the exams. IT WILL BE!

Great teacher....easy A

Go to class, turn in labs, participate in gym, do final presentation (with group), pay attention to lecture (easy, not boring at all), take (easy-if you pay attention) tests...easy A. Just do it!

Awesome teacher. Awesome class.

Nice guy. Loves what hes doing. Easy A

Definately recommend taking PED with Aboshadi. Easy A as long as you do the required labs. Study guides are provided for the tests. He can come out intense and a little intimidating at first. He's actually easy going and tells random funny stories. you dont need to buy the new version of the required book, older versions are just as good.

Excellent Instructor! Knows what he is talking about. Gives study guides for exams. 1 group project, do hw/labs from book & be there every class & you should get an A. Be polite during class & do not be rude to others or screw around. Also he is funny with some of the stories he tells. Very approachable for questions or to talk to about anything!!

EASY A! Take him he seems annoying but it's worth it.

took basketball, one test, one group project(presentation), attendance mandatory, easy if you wanna get in shape, he's basically a coach, he pushes hard, he takes his job very serious, but he's cool, if you wanna boost your GPA and need exercise this is the class for you, easy A :)

Great teacher, I would truly recommend you to take him.

He makes you WORK! but at the end it's worth it. Easy grader and final/midterm is so easy. Take him.

Easy Professor. He doesn't even grade journals, he just makes sure you turn them in. For the combined class, you pretty much just go to class for an hour and then go to the gym where you can play basketball, soccer, or workout in the weightroom. the only tests are the midterm and the final and there's only one group project which is really easy.

Great. He cares about the subject, so it makes you want to pay attention. Pretty easy A. Midterm and Final are the only tests, really easy, basically self explanitory.

Great Teacher!!! He knows what he is talking about and is understanding. Took his class over the summer with my sister and we both got A's. Just do the work required, presentation with group, attend class, and you'll be fine! The work is a breeze as long as you have the book, pay attention to his lectures and participate in gym

He's a great teacher. I took his class online for 16 weeks and got an A. Homework assignments are easy but midterm and final exams are a little tricky. He gave study guides for tests (only 2).

Very easy teacher, very east subject. He's personable & knows what he's talking about, making the lecture half of the class interesting. The gym part is 20x more fun than lecture. It's always basketball/soccer/weight lifting. Very fun teacher, doesn't really have a bad side.

You just come to play basketball! There's no textbook and there's only one test at the end. If you're late he deducts points quickly, so be on time and come to every class. If you miss one class it's been said your grade goes down one letter... Very sweet prof, though :)

Professer Aboshadi is a great teacher. You have to show up to each class because each one is relevant. If you miss 3 classes you fail with the 8 week class. He is knowledgeable about Karate and is willing to help you to do well. There are aids in the class who can assist you as well. You will need to practice at home but it's well worth it!

Professor Aboshadi is a great instructor. He truly cares about his students and is very helpful. His tests are easy if you listen to lectures and pay attention; they're a piece of cake. I would take this class again! Every material he gives you for homework he goes over in class.

I took the online class. TAKE HIM!!! Hes so easy! assignments are like your back in HS PE class, literally. He barely takes points off for late work and exams are so easy, only two that u take in the testing center. Read the pps, skim the chapter and ur good to go. Plus hes so laid back I didn't take an exam until three weeks late and no deduc!!!

Prof. doesn't encourage students to get in touch with him with their problems, so the answers to any questions are all in the syllabus. Assignments are easy/straight forward. The two tests are pretty easy, you're pretty much going to pass as long as you've done the homework. Pretty easy to pass this.

Dr. Aboshadi really cares about his students and wants them to be healthy and fit. He is strict about attendance. His classes are like eight weeks. It also is about respect, he worked hard to get his degree and then you don't even show up. If you take notes and do assignments, participate,you will pass the tests and class. I highly Recommend!

Dr Aboshadi is great. I got a D in the class but i can whole heartedly say it was my fault (I have test anxiety) But he is attentive to his students and always willing to help

TAKE HIM! hes so chill and the assignments are easy!

Spent half of every class in the gym. Had us play soccer, basketball, lift, etc. HW can easily pile up. Stickler for attendance and takes of points for being late. Really nice and understanding. Very easy class. I took the 6 week.

Man if you can't get an A with this guy something is wrong with you.

Professor A is really knowledgeable & is great at what he does! Take HIM!!!

He is awesome....

Took this class online over the summer. Weekly assignments are easy. Study for the exams and you will do just fine. You have to seriously try not to get an A in this class.

SOOOOOO incredibly easy! I ended the semester with a B but when I looked at my transcript I realized he rounded it to an A and I took this class online. TAKE IT WITH HIM you won't regret it!

Fair enough

Prof. Aboshadi was great. Though I never got to meet him in person his online class was a cakewalk. I had many friends who took a physical class with him recommend that I take him, and I'm glad I did. All the homework is super straightforward. I missed about 5 5 weeks of assignments, made them all up in the last week and still got a B in the class.

The lectures were very clear. It was an intense course to take in 3 weeks, both physically and mentally. The professor was really good at presenting and had meaningful stories that I still remember (Like his story on how his friend quit smoking). He pushes you to the max on the physical fitness portions.

Took Soccer I. Good fun! 1 exam (half multiple choice on some handouts he gives prior and a physical part) Final is only 15% of your grade so you can fail it and still get an A. Show up to class, takes a lot of points off for absences. Don't be late either. Participation is a must and class is always fun. I highly recommend it. Great exercise too.

Everything was organized great and directions were clear. I don't think I ever had to email the Professor for clarification or help with anything (rare for an online class). So if you appreciate things being outlined clearly and work well on your own, he's the perfect online professor.

He's so sweet! He covers the material (6 week) and is still funny. We bumped heads in the beginning to the point he was going to drop me but we had a serious heart to heart and he treated me like his daughter after. Honestly an amazing professor that really cares and helps with managing stress, just don't use your phone in class he hates it.

Very detailed for an online class, which I greatly appreciated. He grades things quickly so you always know where you stand within the course. While it was a very easy course, it was time consuming. As long as you just keep up with the weekly assignments you're golden.

Excellent professor.

Pro. Aboshadi is a great guy. His lectures can be a little slow, but you spend more time in the gym to work out. He doesn't like mixing men and women together in the gym--I'm guessing to not be distracted. Be aware that he does not post grades on BB, but he will tell you it in person. He can be confusing at times, but he's worth taking!

This Prof. was AWESOME. He delivers his lectures very clearly, he can be really funny too. First half of class was lecture then second half was in the gym playing soccerbasketball or weight lifting. You'll have LOTS of fun in his class! It's an EASY A. Do the (really easy) homework and participate in the group project. He's very motivational!

Great professor. Lectures are not long as first half of class is lecture (powerpoint) and second half is in gym. He knows his stuff. Very easy. Two exams only . HW do each class but its very easy. This was a great class, I highly recommend him specially if you want an "A"

I took an 8 week PED116 course, so there were only 2 tests (2 parts each: Phsyical and Written). There was one class that I was just not feeling well because of personal reasons, and I told him. He told me to feel better and wrote on my attendence that I was sick. The written tests are pretty easy, 50 questions. Physical, was decent. Great man!

Online class was a breeze. It is a bit much for two credits tho. There is a total of 500 points. 450+ is an A. You don't have to put much into the assignment to get full credit but you do have to complete them all and get at least B's on both exams to get an A. Study guides are helpful and he isn't strict on late assignments.

I took this as an ELI online course. Study guides are essential to passing the midterm and final. Pretty straight forward and Good Luck. Also there is a small deduction on late assignment. If you turned in an assignment you'd get B instead of A.

You actually work out and play sports in this class so if you don't like that choose a different professor! Easy A though

Mr. Aboshadi is a great Professor, but very quiet. You'll hardly ever get enthusiastic feedback on your work. PED116 is not very horrible, except for a few math calculations here and there. Don't think that just because it's PE, the exams aren't hard. THE EXAMS ARE NOT ALWAYS EASY. He's a wonderful Professor though. I would totally recommend him!
