PSTAT120B . Abuzaid A H 5 Months Ago

Professor Abuzaid taught the lesson so well. The slides were well organized. The practice midterm and final are provided. I'll definitely take his class again.

PSTAT120B . Abuzaid A H 9 Months Ago

He is a patient and nice teacher. His midterm was simple and straightforward once you prepared the questions in the ppt. And his final was a bit hard but he graded it in fine way.

PSTAT120B . Abuzaid A H 10 Months Ago

Although the material in PSTAT120B was challenging, prof was top tier. The most patient, accommodating, and caring teacher at UCSB. He answers emails very quickly. When I struggled in the course, he did everything he could in order to help me succeed and be at the place I wanted to be in the class. 100/10 recommend him. He's seriously the best.

PSTAT120B . Abuzaid A H 1 Year, 4 Days Ago

I thought that Prof. Abuzaid was a very good professor and because of that I was able to easily understand the concepts for PSTAT 120B. His lecture slides with the annotations are super helpful because doing the examples from the slides as well as doing the homework made it easy to understand. We had 3 quizzes and he dropped the lowest 2.

PSTAT120B . Abuzaid A H 1 Year, 18 Days Ago

Professor was very nice, cared about students. 3 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final, highest quiz was kept. HW every week but was max 10 or so problems. Lectures were long but provided good material. If you study the lectures and homework, you'll do well on the exams.
