Prof. Abuzaid is incredibly approachable and helpful! Although I've never been one to attend office hours regularly, I visited his office twice, and both times he was very kind and took the time to thoroughly explain everything. I would definitely take his class again.

Professor Abuzaid is one of the most patient and caring professors I've had. He was always very helpful during office hours and responded to my emails promptly. He also provided valuable guidance to our final project team, helping us clean up the data efficiently.

Had both 100 and 126. Bro never updated grades. When asked for practice midterm, his response "No, that won't be necessary" had me gagged. TAs were confused and overworked. He REFUSED to post lecture materials ahead for us to follow, so his lectures were impossible. Didn't align with textbook material, so you can't even prep ahead. Bad teacher.

Terrible professor. Didn't know my grade the whole quarter so I had no idea how I was doing. Didn't respond to my emails. I feel like I would enjoy this course if it were taught by an actual good prof.

His exams are challenging, and his teaching style is different from what I'm used to. However, he strikes a good balance between theory and application, with a fair emphasis on coding. He is always positive and willing to accommodate any student requests for missed assessments. However, attending classes is important to stay on top of the material.

For PSTAT 126: Ali seems approachable and open-minded, but that did not extend to his teaching. Concepts were rushed over during lecture and sections did not fare better. The theoretical exams were particularly challenging, although section quizzes and an end-of-quarter group project balanced things out. Though it can be hard to get a hold of him.
