I really benefited from PSTAT 122 class and was able to learn a lot through the lectures. He provided good practice problems and if you pay attention in class, he basically tells you what kind of questions will be on the exam. Cheat sheets were also allowed during exams.

He's amazing!!! Very very nice, knows how to teach perfectly. He's aware of all things being taught, grades fairly and has fair exams. Best prof ever, highly recommend!!!

(Rating PSTAT 122) A very kind and accommodating professor. Sets clear guidelines for his lectures and throughout the course made sure we understood the material and wanted us to succeed. Lectures were decent, reasonable homework and exam difficulty was mostly fair. Would take with him again!

Prof.Abuzaid is THE BEST PSTAT professor at UCSB!! Don't hesitate to take his course. He is patient and super nice and his exams are very similar to the practice. THE BEST!!

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.

Nice Professor

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.

Amazing professor that cares, and gives you plenty of options to pass the class and help you study. Great professor and would recommend!

Prof Abuzaid is a great professor. I took him winter and spring which I did learned a lot from his classes. Definitely recommend him so take him! Great professor

I don't usually do ratings but I had to for this prof. Very genuine, respectable professor. You can tell he is passionate about his job. No exams, 4 labs, 4 homework and final project the whole semester. Highly recommend taking his class.

I would recommend everyone take a class with Professor Abuzaid. He accommodates students at any level while not feeling condescending. He is very open to helping during office hours and will work through topics carefully to ensure understanding. Overall, an amazing professor I can't recommend enough.

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.

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.

amazing teacher, super compassionate and responds to emails quickly. i felt as though the midterms were fair and the final project helped me learn alot + boosted my grade. it was hard, but definitely doable with some work. i really enjoyed having Abuzaid as a professor and I learned a lot about linear regression as well.

Professor Abuzaid is extremely helpful and a very fair professor! I enjoyed taking his class, and appreciate the time and effort he took explaining the reasoning behind every concept.

Very nice professor who cares about his students. Lectures are decent, though they often focus on proofs. The final project effectively ties all topics together. He is accommodating and considerate.

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.

The course content was challenging, but Prof. Abuzaid was very supportive. The course was well-structured, following a clear routine with 3 quizzes (with the best score counted). The homework was lengthy but valuable for understanding the concepts. If you can complete the homework and practice exams thoroughly, the exams should feel fair.

Nice guy with reasonable quizzes/exams, posts all HW solutions and lecture notes (which are pretty good) on Canvas. Unfortunately, thick accent makes him hard to follow during lecture. The annotated notes helped me more than his actual explanations.

As an exchange student, I thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience in the PSTAT 126 course. The classes were consistently engaging and insightful that I really learned a lot from it!

Prof. Abuzaid is a nice instructor for PSTAT 126. While the course itself is challenging with its mathematical derivations, he always provides clear explanations that make the material more manageable. I found it especially helpful that he included R code in the notes, which was invaluable for completing the final project.

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.
