Very passionate and funny. Very serious when needed to be; he loves math and his aim is to make each student adore it also! Advise all students at CSI to take him!
Michel is an amazing professor! He makes sure you understand the material 100% before moving along. He makes himself available for tutoring, and is a very fair grader!
Excellent teacher, he taught better then my HS teacher, im acing his class like nothing, he defiantly knows his stuff, and i would defiantly take this class again. SOme people just have to study but he does want you to pass, way worth it! Best teacher all year.
One of the best, very funny and motivates you to do your work. Explains the subject matter very well, if you do your work and study you will have no problem passing
Because of Professor Abdo, I finally passed Math 020. He was an excellent professor. He was very encouraging, enjoyed what he was teaching, was very clear and helpful and motivated his students. I always looked forward to math class because of him. Thank you Professor making me finally pass remedial math!
Had this guy for my MTH 020 class, he's really an amazing teacher and will give you a good grade. I plan on taking him for MTH 230. He has a bit of an accent but he will really give you clarity and help you if needed. Best math professor I've had especially since it math get harder.
Professor Abdo is by far the best math professor I have taken in my college career. CSI is lucky to have him not only as faculty but as an alumni and as a tutor. I wish there were more professors like him. He truly cares about the students and makes himself available 20+ hours over the school week for tutoring.. He is a funny mathematician.
Best math professor in CSI. Teachs the topic very well and makes sure everyone understands.
Not kidding when I say that he is a math god. He gives you the easiest ways to solve any math problem and makes sure everyone pay attention and understands the material being taught. He's not one of those boring professors that hate their job. Hes very enthusiastic about his work and views math as a piece of art. Needless to say, amazing professor.
He makes sure the students understands all the material for each section. He will use all of the time allotted for class to do as many problems as possible and if you have any questions, he is more than willing to help during class or during his tutoring hours in the library. He'll go out of his way to ensure you get the help needed. He's the best.
Best Math teacher at CSI hands down. He explains everything clearly and does not move on until everyone understands. He also grades fairly, just participate and focus. He's also funny and passionate about job.
A great professor, i have never met a teacher more passionate and understanding of his/her craft. He truly cares that all students understand each material that he teaches and will not move on until you are sure you understand. He is hard on students but he does for the better good and is really fair with his grading system
Michel Abdo hate to be called professor, however i believe he deserves the highest educator title out there. The reason why he is the best is because he cares so much about each individual in his class. He is so passionate about math and without him i couldn't pass
This guy is not a regular math professor, he is tthe best of the best. He will make you enjoy learning calculus ( or any math topic ) He is caring funny outgoing young and wise on many levels. It's been 2 weeks since calc 2 started and i cant handle this course because it's not michael teaching it. I wish he can teach all my math classes.
Michel does not like to be referred to as a professor, but he is the best I've had. He is there for all of his students. He is funny and extremely helpful. His class is easy, you can easily pass if you give it at least some effort. Even though he does not take attendance, show up and he will help you with anything you need!
Michel Abdo is a great professor and a great person. As long as you come to class ready to learn he will make sure of it!! Your understanding of Math will increase tremendously after a few session with Professor Abdo! Take his classes don't bother with other math professors!
Prof Abdo is very smart. He makes sure his students are all following before moving on. He knows the matlab projects in and out and can explain to you what ever you are struggling with. You just got to ask. He is a bit aggressive with his math coz he is so passionate about it. He cares for each student. He's a fair grader, he's funny & strict.
Best math teacher! Goes in depth with the material so you fully understand, open to any questions at anytime, cares about his students passing, teaches math in the simplest way and shows you which methods to use and not use for solving problems the fastest and most efficient way. Definitely looking forward to taking him again.
Would definitely recommend him! He encouraged and gave me hope that even when you have bad professors for math, someone else will always be available to help you achieve a good grade.
Professor Abdo is the best professor at CSI. He is strict when needed, outgoing and funny if time allows him to be :) His lectures are very clear and he made me enjoy his class from day 1. I'm an english major and always thought math wasnt my thing, he proved me wrong. If he is teaching a class you need and you don't take him it's a big loss.
Take prof Abdo; you will know what "perfect math professors" means. He is the best. Enough said... Just register for his class and you'll see
This professor deserves a movie He sure is a great prof, good hearted, down to earth and funny
SUCH A GREAT PROF. Loves his job and cares about his students. Know exactly what his doing. Will always be there for his students. Gives amazing useful lectures,u miss 1 u loss a lot as far as learning and having fun learning, he's funny and has a great sense of humor. Gives reviews before exams. I Definitely Recommend him and will take him again
Abdo is a great teacher and a great guy. He's young, handsome, funny, and just a cool guy all around. He gets a little upset when people ask ridiculous questions like why 6-4 isn't the same as 4-6, but as long as you can count to 10 and tie both shoes you shouldn't have a problem. I strongly recommend taking him... on a date.
The only math professor at CSI that teaches matlab. In this class we had to do projects on a math software called Matlab, he taught us that & always showed the calculus aspect better than my actual math professor Hands down, he's the best
Hes awesome. I did not get a A but only because i did not do the work. I passed but not as high as i wanted it to be. He really holds it down. I would sometimes email him a hw question and he email me back in 10 minutes. I loveee his accent, some people might be annoyed but not me. It was mesmerizing, kept my attention.
Without question, Prof. Abdo is a great Math prof. I actually enjoyed working on math problems in his class. He has a great ability to explain and demystify material, and he also inspires you to want to do well. Absolutely the best. And can be quite funny too.
Professor Abdo is as patient as the students are that day. Not only does he try his best to put the math we need to understand in laymen's terms, but when asked he'll go back and explain again. Sometimes he will explain things that are from high school to help us. He tells us when he's available for help and where to go if we need more. Great guy.
This guy is MIT-good.... He's an awesome professor on many aspects. Very clear, gives steps-explanation and quite perfectly makes you love the material. If you need a math class he is teaching, TAKE HIM & SHOW UP You will love math !
I am a bio major who knows matlab because of professor michael abdo ... That's all that is need to be said. He teaches you the software with examples from the project He is funny & extremely smart Take him and learn
He is a very nice professor, learned a lot from his class. Also, he is very opened mind and funny.
Prof Abdo is the best. I cant wait to be in his math 230 in the fall. I am really considering changing my major to math because of him. Take him and you'll see the positive math energy he spreads in the classroom + he is very funny. Take him you will love his class, you will love the materisl because of his passionate teaching.
Prof Abdo, likes to be called Michel. Had him both for 102 and 123, his teaching is very good, he is a hard worker, his jokes are really funny as well. Thinking about his jokes makes me laugh. He is very helpful and will instantly email you in 10 minutes or less, unlike other professors that will take 2 days. Take him, he is one of the best!
The Best Math Professor. He based his exams just on notes and matlab projects. He expects you to work really hard & participation to him is crucial. Study and practice all the examples done in class and youll be more than fine.. I am taking prof Abdo for calc 2 in the summer, I can't wait...
The Best...
Take his class; he is the best of the best. Very smart & perfect lectures
Great professor. Math is Math but he makes the lectures good, explains the material well. Very fair tests and grader. I would defiantly take him again. R.A
Very passionate and smart. He knew calculus II in and out and he loved what he was doing. He made me love it as well & i never loved math before. Professor Abdo and the amount of math i learned with him will definitely remain in my memory forever He is hilarious and is a perfect grader. The only bad thing is that he aint teaching calc III soon :(
Just do it.
He is the best math professor teaching at csi, i took calc 2 two times before and dropped after exam 1 but with Abdo I am sure I am passing and not just that, i understand calculus way more Take him He is awesome
Excellent educator. It was a distinct pleasure to study under Michel Abdo's guidance. His methodology, lecture techniques, and clear communication rendered what is for me the toughest of subjects as something now approachable. I credit Michel Abdo's instruction as enabling me to pass this course I previously had to drop.
I was a visiting student at the College of Staten Island in Michel Abdo's class, this professor was a flame of energy in class, sooo passionate and so smart. Explained everything in steps and planned the lecture outloud so we'd know what to expect. The summer class was held for 3.5 hours twice a week; 7 hours of life changing lectures. Take him now
Really smart and good professor , helps you a lot.
Prof Abdo is the best math professor i've ever had. Take good notes, they will make you understand it all Exams like webwork He's funny and extremely smart
The BEST math professor at CSI !!!!!!!! Must take
He is a God of numbers and variables
Outstandingly good
I took calc 1 & 2 with professor Abdo All i got to say is that he is AMAZING I like how he always made sure all students understand everything before moving to the next idea His exam review days are very crucial
He has a very clear cut approach and teaching method. Always makes sure everyone understands the concept of a topic before moving on. Can be intense at times, but it's because he's very passionate about teaching; he cares about the students a lot. I will be 100% taking him in future calc classes if he's available!
You want the best math teacher in possibly NY? Take Abdo. This guy knows his stuff and will stay on topic until you understand it and won't move on until you do. He's there for everyone because he has an inspiring persona! Nobody can make math easier to grasp. Aldo is the math god.
If you want to pass , do your homework, pay attention and take good notes. Thats all !
Amazing professor! Always willing to help student to do the best and get good grades. very hot, make jokes. I love this class!
Professor Michel Abdo is the best thing that ever happened to the math department, actually he is the best thing that ever happened to the College of Staten Island. He is so caring, funny, smart and incredibly good-hearted. Take his class! Without him I couldn't have learned calculus and gotten a B+
The only math professor who teaches matlab Seriously the best of the best If you take him you will love him He is a great
One of the best professors at CSI. Extremely helpful
Helpful,Smart,Funny,Perfect organized lectures.... Take Abdo. I got a B+ but i feel like i will never forget the calculus he taught me. Take him, care and attend, you will love it!
Really good math teacher!
Professor abdo is a great professor, he teaches very clear and is very helpful. I would definitely recommend to take him. His tests are exactly what he taught you, so there is never confusion.
Great professor. Extremely clear and organized lectures, really cares about his students. Definitely recommend taking this class with professor Abdo.
Very helpful, definitely learned a lot in this class. Always makes sure no one is confused before moving on. I recommend him for any course
Professor Abdo is extremely sincere and is always there for his students. If a student is unclear on a problem, he makes sure you leave the class confident. There is no homework and no textbook required. He makes you really enjoy math, and has taught me things I never knew before. Abdo is amazing, take this class you won't regret it!
Great class. Professor Abdo is extremely nice and very clear with his lectures. Not very complicated and very straightforward work. A fun class.
Really the best professor you can take in CSI. He's so nice and amazingly helpful. He provides review sheets for every test and tells you everything you need to know to get a great grade. You can see that he really enjoys teaching math and he makes you feel like family. I really learned alot in this class and really would like to take him again.
He's a good professor. He's very helpful and tests are easy. I would definitely take him again.
He's a good professor. The tests are easy and no homework. I would definitely take him again.
Honestly such an incredible math professor and I would recommend him to everyone. You respect him he respects you. I want to be a teacher like him.
Professor Abdo is great! He really cares about his students and cares about them passing. The class itself is interesting, too, because you learn about math in such a logical and different way. Try not to miss a class because you tend to miss a lot of material. Take the class and you'll definitely learn a lot :)
He's a great professor and individual. He takes his class very serious. He covers everything on the syllabus and helps you if you ask for it. He changes your perspective on Math. He uses an inspirational lecture at the beginning of the semester which I absolutely enjoyed listening to. Many students respect and look up to Abdo. Take him!
He's a wonderful professor. Really cares about his students. The only problem is you have to take a lot of notes, and show all your work on the exam or he will take points off. Overall one of the best math professors I've ever had.
He is the best of all the math department at the college of staten island
He made me love the fact that one day i will teach math for elementary students He is a great professor on so many aspects
Professor Abdo is one of those professors that are truly rare and hard to find at CSI, and just in general. He is a fantastic educator that shares his tricks and knowledge with his outermost passion. He respects students and understands the conditions and circumstances we go through. Take his class, you will NEVER regret it.
Really wants his students to pass. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you miss a day, you'll miss a lot. He is by far the best math professor I ever had.
Love his style of teaching,he makes math sooo easy. Breaks down all the steps for you and tell you the little shortcut to remember the method. Exams are very fair, come to class do the review sheet and you will pass. Very funny and rarely gets mad. Great professor, I would take him again if he taught any higher level math class.
One of the best professors on the campus.
I took him for calc 1 and registered for the upcoming calc 2 course this summer I can't wait to be a student in professor abdo's class again He is by far the best college professor i have ever met
Professor Abdo is the BOSS! Super funny and kind. He explains it in a way that any one could understand. Takes his time to teach and when he's done, it feels like you finally understand Calc. It's no walk in the park but he makes it as easy and bearable as possible. Thank you Prof!!!
Good professor but goes fast during the lectures and sometimes drags on with the math problems. Gives the students clear and concise lessons
One of the best math professor in the math department. He knows how to make everything simple and easy to understand. If you don't understand something ask questions. He does not mind answering them. His exams are similar problem to what he gives during lecture. so do not miss a lecture.
Abdo is the best Math professor I have ever had, period. Show up, put in some effort, and you will pass. He is passionate and wants everyone to pass but you have to try. My only complaint was he tends to go very fast at times and makes you feel silly for asking questions on the tiny things you forgot from previous classes. A+ professor, take him.
TAKE HIM!!! FUNNY TEACHER BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY CARES VERY MUCH ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS IN COLLEGE. ALSO ONE OF THE MOST GENEROUS PROFESSORS EVER. CURVES LOWEST TEST GRADE WITH YOUR HOMEWORK SO DO THE HW! MICHEL ABDO IS AWESOME!
Definitely made the 3.5 hours 2 night a week during the summer fly. There was never a dull moment. Always kept a great tone in the class. I was dreading giving up that much time however the class was challenging and flew by..
Great professor that truly respects his students and offers many opportunities for success. I would definitely take another course that he is teaching if possible. He makes math enjoyable!
Professor Abdo should have other professors sit in on his class so they learn what teaching looks like, no other teacher makes a calc class interseting and understandble like Abdo does. To improve the class I'd rather not review for a little on the day of the test, throws me off personally. Besides that take him!
Took summer 2016. Fast paced math course. Michel will explain it to you but if you need to be held by the hand take it in the fall. He's fair, if you participate and do good on your exams you're good. If you have a question ask he can seem annoyed but he's not that's just him. 4 exams 1 take home & final. Don't wait last min. to study. Do the HW.
This professor is very passionate about the subject of math. Class is crucial because the lecture notes are important to understand material. Tests are fair and are based off the review sheet. The Proffesor tries his best to make students pass with good grades. Study hard and attend class .
One of the greatest professors in CSI!!! I had trouble with math but his explanations are so clear, that even if you absolutely don't know math there is no way you wont pass. Very easy going person and extremely helpful. Best decision of my life was taking his class.
He's and amazing teacher , he wants the student to pass the class, but doesn't pamper. If you pay attention and actually do work you'll pass. #heisenberg
He's a great teacher
Professor Abdo is just amazing on so many levels! Great instructor, good-hearted, caring, funny... I got a B in his summer class and i did slack, i could've done better. However everything he taught me will forever be used in my other math classes, it sticked and i love math now cause of him. CSI should hire more professional professors like Abdo
Really cares about his students, wants to seee you succeed and makes sure you really understand the material
Professor Abdo is by far the most intelligent instructor i ever took. He will change your life with the math he will teach you. Just show up take notes, listen carefully, do homework and you will realize your math knowledge is improving.
Best math professor at CSI. He spoon feeds you the information. Pay attention and do the homework!
Amazing. Take him and you won't regret it. Best teacher in CSI hands down
This Professor in College Of Staten Island (CSI) is very entertaining!!!!!
Great professor just pay attention and he will help you. He care unlike most professors. He loves to make jokes but theres a time to be serious and a time to learn. DEFINITELY will try to get him for my next math course. i encourage you TO TAKE HIM FOR MATH.
If you want to learn, take this professor, but if you want a good grade, take another one. He teaches very good and understanding, but because of this his tests are very hard. I would take his class for auditing and take another easier professor for simpler tests if you want a good grade. Abdo does not curve, so what you get is what you get.
I am taking his pre calc and calc 6 credits class, i am in love with his teaching methods and with the material He is very cool funny and extremely intelligent but don't disrespect him, Abdo will put you in your place Take him you wont regret it
Professor Abdo is by far one of my favorite math teachers i have ever taken. He gives great feedback on you're work. He cares about everyones grade. Teaches tons of different ways to solve problems. Recommend him to everyone.
Amazing professor. Helped me excel within the class. Encouraged me to want to actually learn. I would love to have him as my professor for all classes. Definitely explains things step by step.
Professor Abdo is amazing! I would recommended taking his class! Before his class, I hated math, literally cried; now I am pretty confident in Math. He makes learning math fun. Take his class, you won't regret it!
He's the best Math teacher you could take. Funny, Outgoing, Understanding, and just the Coolest professor you could possibly take. A friend to every student! Curves, gives Extra Credit, every chance to do better. What more could you ask for?
A professor that really loves math and tries his best to turn his students into "Calc soldiers". Professor Abdo is great professor!
Professor Abdo is really an inspirational individual. He is a great educator and an awesome dude. He knows everyone's name and interact with the class as a whole. He is funny and extremely intelligent, he would know you are struggling just by looking at you. His techniques made me understand fully. His class was the best math class i ever took!!!
If you see his name just take him, everyone is different but I think its safe to say that his teaching methods are what students look for in college, but you have to be willing to learn. He makes math "easy" and "understandable" and this is coming from someone who always struggled with math.
He's an awesome Professor ever.
He is so good, and you probably will understand everything in his class.
Michel abdos teaching is magic. Failed math all my life. Once I took his class, I passed tests and even the CEAF :) an awesome professor and a must take if he's available
He is probably the best math professor I have every had. I hate math and was completely terrible on the subject but his class made it fun. I actually enjoy math which I once thought was impossible before. He explains everything and is always there to help you. Take him if you can! You will not reject it at all!
I failed every math class I've taken until I took this class, favorite teacher, take him!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!!!! He truly cares about his students and always makes time for his students!! I would take again if he taught the classes that I needed!! Recommend him 100000%
I am education makor and i took mth217 with professor abdo a yesr ago and my sister is tsking it now! He is the best, i am leaving this comment because my sister and I were just mentioning how prof Michel is the best out of all csi preofessors. He is intelligent funny patient and with only one goal, make you understand/love the material. TAKE HIM
Great professor cares a lot about his students
Michel is a great professor. He really cares about his students and will not move on unless every one of his students understands the problem on the board. He does not want any one to fail. He will help as much as he possibly can. There is no homework. On top of all that he is hysterical!! Would definitely take his class again!
Nothing but perfection! I loved taking Michel. He really taught me math in a matter that none of my previous professors ever could. Professor Abdo makes math an enjoyable subject and I did not mind going to his class every lecture. His explanations are impeccable. Hope to take him again in the future!
Mike is so chill and funny. His lectures are good, you actually are being taught. His tests are exactly like his review sheets. You can tell that he actually cares if he students understand. He stops in the middle of the lecture to say if anyone has questions. He's just awesome.
GREAT PROFESSOR, Cares about all of his students and tries his best to help everybody understand the material. Most hardworking professor in CSI!
Professor Abdo's lectures are so informative and straight to the point, his explanation and endless examples cover all the material in an out, he is energetic and funny and i can't wait to take him again next semester for MTH218
He is so caring funny and smart He made me pass this class with a B+
Professor abdo is one of the best teachers I ever had. He taught the material perfectly and helped me understand everything well. I would recommend him in a heart beat.
Professor Abdo was the BEST math professor I have EVER had. If you are lucky enough to get the chance to take him do not hesitate. Calc is hard but he really helps you learn and understand the concepts opposed to just knowing the material to get a good grade on the tests. He is very caring and wants all of his students to do well.
Very passionate about math. Will work hard with you in order for you to confidently understand how to solve something. Great Professor 10/10.
Amazing man
He gives great feedback. He takes the time out to break down simple things that other professors would never do. Very understanding and well respected!
He is a really good professor. Very funny. Always makes things as simple as they can be for the students.
Nothing is spontaneous in this coarse. Doing homework and reviewing the previous exams will definitely benefit you in the long run. Take notes , missing a class is like missing a unit so I advice you not to. Hilarious, but knows when to get back to topic. Good Luck !
Michel Abdo is a great professor! He really cares about his students and he is definitely one of the better professors that teach mathematics. He is attentive and tries his hardest to connect with his students and get them to understand the subject. I would 100% take him again, hes hilarious and a great guy overall.
Although i did not get an A in this class, Prof Abdo is a great teacher, will help with whatever you need help in, and his exams are fairly easy if you study for them
Knows how to teach and is very organized while teaching and writing on the board
If you see his name listed as the course's instructor, you would be a fool not to take him. I really do believe he's the best instructor at CSI. His biggest virtue is that he TRULY does care about all of his students. Calculus is not an easy course, but he will try to make it as understandable as possible.
A great professor I learned a lot. Don't miss any of his classes otherwise you'll fall behind. My best tip is to do the homework right after class and ask the next day if you have any questions. Doing the homework refreshes what you learned in class. You will fall behind if you don't pay attention or do the homework. Also test are similar to review
Best math professor at CSI. He helped me understand every concept we learned and demonstrated it step by step.
Prof Abdo is an outstanding instructor and awesome funny friendly professor; just respect the class rules study and youll get an A
There's a reason why Mike is the only professor with a 5.0 rating at CSI. He is an amazing teacher and a great person as well; he is very passionate about teaching. You will have to work for your grade but he will help you as much as you can to get the grade that you want.
Professor Abdo is an outstanding professor, a great instructor and an outstanding human. He cares about each and every student unbiasedly. I am glad i took his class... Abdo is definitely the best professor at the College of Staten Island.
Very clear with his lectures. If you don't pay attention you don't pass. Simple.
He is a very very very good professor. He has a love for math and he makes sure to trasfer that same love to his students. I wish he could teach me every subject in the school.
Hes the most adorable guy ever. So nice and funny and makes math easy peasy lemon squeezy. 15/10. looks like DJ Khaled shmoney. my main man. my squeeze. the bro. would hit up for math any day. as a smart gal (3.9 gpa), he da best <3
Love you
The best math prof ever
Great guy, super friendly. Makes hard concepts easy to grasp. Eager to stay and help with any questions you may have. 100% take him if you can. Just make sure to pay attention and actually participate and you'll get an amazing grade.
best math prof ever love him
Professor abdo was the best math prof that taught me calc/matlab. His impact on my education was tremendous. He made me prioritize correctly and when it comes to academic responsibilities I always remember how he pushed us to be and do our best. Take him, attend, study and excel
Without Abdo I wouldve failed remedial math for the third time He teaches in an amazing way Take him for any math class you need
Great guy
Im taking him for math 123 now for an 8am, hes honestly hysterical. Very chill, all homework online but he makes the course easy even though math is another language. He tries for all his students to past
Professor Abdo has got to be the best Professor at CSI. He makes you feel like he's your friend, not your teacher. Such a sweet man! Im sad I wont have the opportunity to take him again, because if I could I most certainly would. The best!!!
He genuinely cares about his students. He honestly wants them to pass with their best of their abilities. He teaches us the way he wants all of us to teach in the future. I haven't enjoyed math until he was my teacher. He's really a friend to everyone in the class. TAKE HIM AGAIN FOR SLS 218!! My fave professor!!
Excellent teacher. Makes sure you understand the material before moving onto the next topic. Extremely funny and makes class fun.
Simply the best. Honestly, Professor Abdo gives you a lot of chances to succeed and pass his class. He really cares about his students and wants everybody to pass and he gives you everything you need to pass. Come to class and have fun with it.
Amazing professor who only wants his students to pass. Very passionate. He will do everything and anything to try and help you understand math. He will explain everything, prepare you for anything. If only every professor was like this in this school :(
I love you michel abdo. You are the best math teacher ever in the whole entire world.
To sum up professor abdo in one word would be that hes a god. Truly cares about his students & wants them to pass. If your not that good in math he will guide you through every problem. Gives alot of extra credit. No other math professor in the math professor can shine his shoes. Take him if you want to do well. You wont regret it.
Best professor Ive ever had in college, makes you truly understand what is going on and cares if you actually know it. I would deff take him again, he makes things fun and easy.
Abdo is hands down the best professor at CSI. He makes sure his students understand the material before moving forward and makes learning math fun. Such a friendly and caring guy who only wants to see his students do well. Will always go the extra mile. Very passionate. If I could take him next semester I 110% would!!
First semester as a college student and I LOVE HIM!! Seriously couldnt have asked for a better math professor. He makes lectures fun and makes sure his student know what hes teaching.
This Professor is incredible! Took him for the lab portion of calculus and couldnt have asked for a better professor. He cares about all his students and wants nothing but to see everyone do well. Before every online project, he teaches us the basics so were able to complete them. He then walks around class to help. Take him! He is amazing!
Professor Abdo, he is so good. You can actually see his passion for mathematics. He explains really well the material plus he is funny. The first hour of the class he spend it explaining the labs then if you have any questions he is really willing to help you, not only for matlab but also for the regular calculus or any other math class.
Professor Abdo is the best professor you can ever have at CSI! He is such an amazing teacher and makes sure you know the content before moving on. He is also down to help answer questions after class if you still don't get it. If you ever see his name, make sure you take his class, you won't regret it. 100% the most caring professor ever.
Abdo is definitely one of the best professors I've ever had. He's funny and makes his lectures interesting. He's tough on you because he cares and wants you to pass.
I wish he didn't count HW. You will use webassign and I once typed in an answer as a fraction and it said I was wrong even though I knew I was right. He is a very great prof though Curve game is so strong
Probably one of the best math professor in CSI, especially for Matlab since he is the only professor who gives a lecture on the labs you do. He is willing to help any struggling student with any math topics, inside and outside of the classroom. A real gem in the math department.
Amazing math professor. No need to buy the textbook. All his lectures are very clear and in full detail. As long as you take notes, study them and the review sheets which is basically everything we do in class, youll do great on the exams. Ive learned so much. One of the most passionate, committed and inspirational professors Ive ever had.
He was my first college professor and i can honestly say he had to be the best. He was bery relatable and interesting. He made the class fun and he is very knowledgeable. I would recommend everyone to take his math classes, you wont be upset!
This professor really cares about each student he will go out of his way to help each one. Hes tries his best to make sure each student understands the material he is teaching before moving on. If you take his class you are lucky as long as you attend participate and listen he will teach you everything you need. Hes also super funny!
Taking this class made me realize math wasnt the worst thing in the world. Mike has by far been the most dedicated teacher to his job Ive ever had. Much respect to him.
I very much enjoyed this class. Im not a fan of math at all but this class made me learn and understand math so much. He cares a lot about his students and wants to help them succeed and pass. I would definitely recommend him.
He's a good professor and he's well respected. I would advise not missing class because if you do then you'll be behind and have to make up a lot of hours in tutoring for the class. A lot of the work you do in his class is also on the test and he'll show you material on the test just using different numbers than what's on the test
Very involved in wanting to help his students pass. I have never had a teacher more dedicated to his job more than professor Abdo. He is also not a boring teacher and makes the class seem interesting. We even called him Mike.
If youre taking a math class I would highly recommend Professor Abdo. He is kind, caring and passionate about what he does. All you have to know is, do the work and be respectful. DO NOT write in your notebook when he is showing you how to do a problem. Show up on time and dont let him care more about your education than you do.
Professor Abdo is passionate about his class and about math, he will push you to do your best and help you pass, his teaching methods are super helpful, but in order to pass you need to put the work in and show that u care just as much as he does.
Hes a really good teacher,he has rules like cant be late,study after class,do your homework,participation in class counts he also has time after class if students have questions which is actually needed,he make sure that those who hate math pass this class loving math,hes a clear grating teacher,I recommend students to select him as their prof
Michel Abdo is very helpful , he will give it his all so that you can understand everything clearly. He doesnt teach like any other teacher Ive ever had which is what makes the class feel like its flying by. You do have to put your part into it and study and do the homework like any other class. I would take him again if I could.
IF you need any math class and he is teaching , you must take him. Professor abdo or just mike, is the exact type of teacher you want to have. Someone who is knows his stuff , intresting and most importantly cares . It is a mistake if you do not take him. He explains everything with such clear instructions and will not stop until you understand
Professor Michel Abdo is very helpful , he will give it his all so that you can understand everything. He change your life with his theory about math. He is also very strict with phones and latenesses. He is a very helpful and caring professor. I will definitely choose him again.
He is a great professor with so much passion in wanting you to succeed and know your worth. He is hilarious, so that makes it better.
Professor abdo is the best professor ever He is outgoing and fun He made me study and get an A in mth 123
Professor Abdo has changed my view on Math and for the 1st time I feel like I understand what's going on. He is clear , thorough and goes at your pace. He knows his stuff and is very passionate about you understanding math. As someone who has a fear of math I would take his class again. Thank you professor Abdo.
I walked away learning nothing in the class. And I actually sat, tried, and studied. See my grade
Professor Abdo is very caring and extremely good at presenting an amazing lecture He made me participate and inspired the whole class to keep up with homework by offering extra credits He is amazing IF his class is open you should definitely take him quickly, his classes are always full
It's refreshing to find a professor that is actually willing to help. He definitely cares a lot for his students. He's very approachable in and outside of class for any math question as well. Take him if you have the chance!
Professor Abdo was beyond amazing when you think about what he is actually teaching. lol . I don't know anyone who is truly a fan of math but he was thorough and made sure we as a class understood what was going on before he moved on. Show up, write whatever he writes on the board and study and you better believe you'll pass. Good luck!
Professor Abdo is not a quintessential math teacher. He has a fun personality that makes the class more enjoyable and less intimidating . Statistics is a very challenging subject. Professor Abdo takes the time to explain topics thoroughly and addresses any questions or concerns you have. His grading rationale is very reasonable.
One of best professor ever He is hilarious and very smart
Genuinely cares and takes time to make sure students understand concepts not just how to plug in numbers.
Prof Abdo is an awesome human and a great professor. He respects and cares about everyone in his class. Attend and take notes, study what he focuses on and youll be set
Amazing professor, funny guy, clear and smart mathematician. Abdo is the best. He spoils you with donuts or pizza last day and first day he does a meet and greet. Very loving dude and very serious and professional when needed
There will never be another Professor like Abdo. He cares about each and every student individually. If you dont get something he will make sure you understand until hes blue in the face. I would take him 100x over again!
Abdo is so awesome. He really helped me understand the material I was learning. He always took the time to make sure everyone understood what they needed to understand. He is very fair with grading but dont mess around. Although hes awesome when its time to be serious he wants you to be serious and dont be on your phone.
Hes a great professor. He cares for his students so much and it shows. Very chill guy but dont mess with him. Will be loud if you dont listen. overall amazing professor just follow my by his rules and respect him !
Extremely helpful, you need to attend class in order to pass. Make sure to take notes because the tests are based off of notes. Study for exams using review sheet and questions from class.
At first I got scared of the subject But when he explained it and give a lot of example and make sure that everyone is following him it become very easy to me I love the sentence that he use (are you following me ,are you with me ,he keep repeating it more than 10 times which keep your mind with him The whole entire class
he is a really loud professor like he literally screams across the room just so you understand and he has passion for what he's doing . he explains to you like you in kindagarten all you have to do is show up ask questions and do the projects. love his class would take him all over again
Listen , If you love math, you have to take professor. Abdo Trust me, I changed my schedule to take his class He is the best professor in the math department. I took with him 229 and 230 He made me love the math more than my wife and my son. God bless you Abdo and I really love you from my heart.
Professor Abdo teaches math like its easy and takes into consideration the fact that not everyone taking his class is a math major. He basically takes notes for you because of electronic teaching and emails everything to the whole class replies to emails really fast and solves the test problems 100 times before the test, literally. He's the best.
WOW! Really is the best professor. If you put work in, youre GUARANTEED to get an A. He truly cares about everyone single student and will fight for you. He wants to see you succeed and gives you the motivation to do so. Ive never meet a person who cares so much about each student. He deserves a raise or somethin with the amount of time he gives!
Amazing professor and makes sure students understand their material. you have to put effort on your part. he is also funny and his head is shaped like the Pythagorean theorem.
Professor Abdo is great he is hard of hearing sometimes but is very caring and wants to see all his students do well. He gives lots of opertunities to boost up your grade such as extra credit and is willing to break everything down until you understand. I do recommend taking him because calc is not an easy subject but he makes the class worthwhile
If you havent taken him for any of your maths, do it. You wont regret ever taking him, it will last in your memory of college 30 years down the line. I learned that math was a beautiful because of him. PS: Superman and Caveman
Abdo is the real mvp, TAKE WHEN YOU CAN! Three tests (one of them is a take home) and a final (all test questions based off class and review sheet questions, literally same questions). No homework, no textbook, really cares about his students and your future students! TAKE TAKE TAKE!
Prof Michel is a very awesome math teacher that I had ever met in CSI. He is a very funny and humor guy. His lecture is so amazing and interesting. His exams are exactly the same as the review sheet he gave us. His grading is not tough. He also gave us the extra credit for the exam. If you put your effort, it is very easy to get A. Very awesome guy

Professor Abdo is my the best teacher Ive ever had. He is very caring for all of his students and is willing to help them pass as much as possible so long as he sees they are putting in some effort. He reviews for test, breaks down every problem, welcomes questions, and is very respectful. Be prepared to laugh and have lots of fun, in his class.
Hes one of the best professors there is he makes what hes teaching fun a enjoyable but also become very clear. He different from other math teacher even in explaining the problem he goes step by step and always makes sure everyone is on tasks and gets it his slogan is are you with me?, do you follow? after every question hes inspiring
Grades on a curve, cares about his students, emails notes to students, teaches on an iPad which is so much better than teachers that use chalk IMO. Excellent reviews for tests.
