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.

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 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.
