Completely uncaring and unhelpful. He may know math but he is incompetent as a teacher. Avoid-Avoid-Avoid

Poor teaching skills! DONT TAKE HIM !!! RUNS so fast on the material. class is super boring, nice chill guy, but makes subject extremely useful. 100% you will have to study on ur own. JUST DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By far the worst math teacher at UM. if you get him drop it immediately

He is a horrible teacher. He expects all the students to know everything before he even teaches. The whole class will sit there confused because he never answers any questions clearly!

The worst teacher at UM. Please read reviews below. If you get him, you NEED to drop him. Unless your cool with having the worst class experience you can imagine. It would be better to drop the class with a W four times in a row then take it and keep it once. Do whatever you need to get another MAS teacher. whatever it takes. Do not settle.

Horrible teacher, gives his lectures expecting his students to know everything before hand and does not explain anything well. You have to learn everything on your own.

The worst teacher I have ever had in my academic career. If you get him I strongly advise you to drop. He does not explain anything clearly and expects the whole class to know everything before he even gives his lectures. He is a nice guy but not in any way helpful or clear

Worst class I've taken in college. Don't ever take him!!

He is the worst teacher I have ever had at UM. He honestly enjoys failing students. This man does not deserve to teach at Miami. He brings everyones grades down. DONT. TAKE. HIM.

Far and away the worst instructor I've had at UM. He seems to know what he's talking about, but can't explain it in a way that students will understand. Tests are not at all like what is taught in class or what is assigned for homework (yes, I did all the homework problems). Thank goodness he curved the class per the Business School's 3.0 rule

Very hard to understand, not only because of his poor teaching skills but he also has a thick accent. He only uses tests to calculate your grade, so forget getting any homework or projects points. Doesn't really seem to care if you pass or fail. Easily one of my least favorite professors at UM.

If you use your phone once, he marks you down a whole letter grade. Terrible at teaching, because it's hard to understand him. If you don't pay attention in class you are screwed, and you WILL have to resort to a textbook or tutor. Don't recommend taking him at all!

If you have a choice, do not take him. He usually does not give great examples, and he is not very thorough in explaining examples. Makes himself seem accessible, but in reality he is not very personable.

The worst math teacher I've ever had. Does the worst job of explaining things, gives pop quizzes almost every class (giving you barely any time to absorb information), his tests are ridiculously hard, and I think he enjoys watching his students do poorly. Only thing nice I can say if you can drop your lowest test grade, but otherwise good luck...

Aboudi is extremely confusing. Has rules that are unnecessarily strict. He is rude to students. He doesnt provide good explanations for grading and refused to explain math concepts outside of class. His teaching method is awful: he is unclear when teaching and makes the material more convoluted.

This man CANNOT teach. He is unnecessarily confusing, and does not clearly explain problems in class. He moves at a fast pace, and does not give lots of extra help. Tests are hard, and overall class is tough. avoid if possible.

Not a very good professor. Is way to old school and gives was to many pop quizzes. Super test heavy and is probably the very dull in terms of lecturing of the board and not being clear on material.

The most boring prof at UM. He'll introduce one topic per week and spend the rest of the week giving examples, but the exams are completely unrelated to the examples in class. I would get A's on every pop quiz but C's on the exams. His accent also makes him really hard to understand. He also does not give enough time on exams.

Lectures are super boring, he just writes out problems the whole time, not engaging at all. Quizzes and tests don't have enough time allotted to complete them.

This guy is so unreasonable that it is borderline mean. I emailed him several times telling him that I would not be able to attend class for an important reason. When he finally responded, he gave my email 0 consideration and just said that I have to come to class and that his class should be my priority. Also test questions are very unfair.

Worst professor I've had. Every student says they're struggling, and he makes you feel so dumb if you're wrong. Hasn't done it to me but Ive seen him so rude to students. Goes way too fast too, I have had him twice. Also took 0 consideration when I missed a quiz for a very close relative's death last year. If you are 10 seconds late, you are absent

not good not good don't try

Very tough on students. Everyone was failing and he didn't care. Did not let us use excel, excel is what people use in real life. EVERYTHING WAS BY HAND. NO ELECTRONICS. 6 of my classmates dropped the class.

ive never in my entire life hated someone to this degree. what a mean, horrible man who should truly be fired he must have some sort of tenure. the averages on our 2 midterm exams were a 66 and a 67 and he doesn't care about the curve. avoid at all costs truly its so terrible

DO NOT TAKE ABOUDI. HE IS TERRIBLE. WORST CLASS BY FAR ALL SEMESTER. His lectures are extremely disorganized and the way he teaches makes no sense. He gives 7 pop quizzes a semester unannounced so be aware. The class average on both of the tests this semester was a D. He takes attendance but it doesn't seem like it counts for the grade at all.

Nothing about this class was good. Dropped the class before it was too late. I pity those who stayed. Looking back I feel like I wasted hours of my life in that class for the few weeks that I was in it.

Overall an extremely hard class (exam averages were always in the 60s). Lectures can be hard to follow; he goes very fast. There are pop quizzes every week, but if you keep up with the *non-mandatory* homework you will do well. Basically entire course is graded on the exams. Exams were very hard- some problems weren't on HW and he's a tough grader.

Honestly awful, doesn't explain if you have any questions, is not caring, and is the toughest grader. Speed-runs through material and expects you to know it straight up. Completely insensitive and gets political

Beware of cheating on his exams. He is a stickler for cheating and a total meanie about it and will report you. Super strong accent and hard to understand. Do not rec

This professor is not great at all. Beware of cheating also, he found minor similarities in my quiz and another student's and reported me and made sure i got an F in the class. Wouldnt recommend

If you take this class get ready to teach yourself. Horrible professor who does not teach. He just writes on the board and mumbles and goes way to quick to follow and comprehend. University of Miami needs to find better math professors.

The pop quizzes and exams aren't hard if you study, but if you don't want to teach yourself don't take this class. He explains things in the most complicated way possible and he will often roll his eyes at you if you ask a question. The material you're supposed to learn from is a copy of his poorly handwritten notes. Avoid him if you can!

If I could give him a 0 I would. This guy hates everything and wants to make your life miserable. He has quizzes pop quizzes on material covered a month prior and doesn't review anything before exams. Has no regard for actual teaching, he just writes randomly on the board and expects everyone to understand. Avoid him at all costs.

Ronny Aboudi could not care less about the success of his students. He shows up, writes gibberish on the board for an hour and expects you to understand it. He does nothing to help his students learn, all he does is lecture and responds negatively to any questions asked. He gives pop quizzes and puts material on the exams that were not covered.

Beware of Aboudi! He may seem nice but his test are impossible. I studied countless hours for his exams, and I still did not pass a single one of them. My classes started with about 25 students and just before I left the class, it was down to maybe 8 students. He does not care if anyone passes or fails which I find to be insane.

Do anything you can to avoid him. I dropped him the last day of add/drop. Pop quizzes, people say you can figure out when they will be but its hard to determine the content on it, hard to get full points. He is not helpful during office hours or during class. He reads from his notes for lectures and if you miss anything its hard to figure it out.

Avoid at all costs. He gives pop quizzes and is a very harsh grader. Reads off the board and is very hard to understand.

Easily the worst professor I have ever had. He rambles all class long reading the same notes he has used for years. He is rude and annoying to ask questions to, it seems like you are doing him a disservice by asking him questions. He is stubborn and harsh at grading. There's a reason all of his classes have 10x the open spots than other teachers.

just dont take him at all costs.

Every time I came into this class I left more confused than educated. He tries to teach the meanings behind equitations more than the material we will be tested on and just confuses everybody more. He reads off his notes and expects everybody just to understand everything even though it's foreign to many students. Don't take if you want to learn.

Everything written here is true. Aboudi does not care, and will take substantial amounts of points of your quizzes and tests for the pettiest things. Almost as if he likes to do it. Worst professor at UM.

I return to his rate my every year just to beg you guys not to take him. Not only is he the worst professor I have ever had in my life, he may be the worst person I have every personally interacted with. He drops pop quizzes, is an extremely tough grader, and constantly talks down to his students. I am ashamed to say I go to a uni where he teaches.

Absolutely avoid at all costs. Take this class later with a different professor like McKenry. It'll save you time and energy in the long run. Spent 2 months in this course before taking the W because I did not want a C on my transcript.

Great guy he is the best teacher I have had yet

I honestly do not know where to begin. If I could give this man a 0 I would. The most disrespectful, inflexible and miserable person I have ever encountered. Avoid this class at ALL costs. He gets off on watching students struggle and couldn't care less about seeing them succeed. I would have pushed this class off another year just to take w other

The worst professor I've ever taken ever. If I could drop I would. Unfortunately it's too late. He swarms u with quizzes which r rediculously hard every once a week. Perhaps the worse part is he gives us u 0 and i mean 0 partial credit. If u mess up a sign -10, flip an inequality full credit off. Please listen to me and save yourself. So rude too!

Avoid him at all costs, he is not probably but most definitely the worst teacher I've had in my life. Just rambles during lectures and expect everyone to understand it. Final exam is impossible, oh yea and pop quizzes every week.

Exams and quizzes were unnecessarily hard and the toughest grader I had ever witnessed. Do not take him. Does not care about your grade.

If you can, DO NOT TAKE ronni aboudi. He is, without a doubt, the worst professor I have ever taken in my entire life. His exams are genuinely impossible to complete on time, even if you spend 30+ hours reviewing his chicken scratch.

Prof. Aboudi is a great person; however, he is not an amazing teacher. You will do well in his class if you have a prior understanding of advanced statistics topics (hypothesis testing, p-values, etc.). If you don't know the material and are expecting to learn it for the first time, I would not advise taking Prof. Aboudi.
