Confusing when he went over proofs, but otherwise very interesting and very well explained. A lot of material to cover and he does it fairly well. Overall pretty happy with this guy

Great professor, quizzes were challenging but overall Amr was very helpful and got me through the course :)

el abbadi's quizzes were often difficult but he explained things in a way I could understand. good if you are looking to get better at computer science

I took up Prof. Abbadi's graduate course on Distributed Systems during winter 2011. I had great enthusiasm for the c ourse initially, but it turned out to be a super bummer. The coursework was pathetic. Too much theory and horrible choice of abstract research papers assigned for reading. His teaching was too abstract and the projects were a joke.

great prof, very clear, fair homework assignment and project. Fair grading. Very easy to understand, friendly, challenging, everything a professor should be.

cs174b - very nice professor, good straight to the point lectures. quizzes were tough.

friendly and tend to give difficult quizzes. those problems are very creative but too hard for many to complete in 30 minutes.
