You ever finished a course and just wanna hug the prof? That's how good Abed is.

A very kind professor who does want others to succeed. He does teach directly off of the textbook and slides, but he does make an effort to explain things. So as long as you read the textbook he gives you, you will do fine on his exams. Though this teaching style is not the best, he is very reasonable, understanding, and there is a curve in the class. I took him for 222 and took him again for 463.

Not the best lectures, but he is a very helpful and kind professor that does everything in his power to help the students succeed. Massive curve of 10% as well, even though it technically was not needed (class average was around a ~79).

He's a very kind person, but he doesn't explain so well in lecture. He also doesn't do so many examples so it's not clear how to do the homework. Midterm and final grades were very low so there was a massive curve.

Helpful professor who will do all he can to help you learn and succeed. Once me and another student met him in the hallway before an exam. We asked if he could give extra help but he was on the way to have a late lunch. So he invited us to join him, drove us to a restaurant, paid for our lunch, and helped us with problems and continued in his office after we got back. He is a good teacher and cares about his students. Highly recommended for undergrad courses in systems and probability (322, 324, 460,...)

Dr. Abed knows ENEE322 inside out and lectures clearly. He made himself available to students, putting as much time as needed to help outside class. He made the difficult material of ENEE322 interesting and connected it with the real world. He prepared detailed typed solutions to all assignments and exams. I enjoyed taking his class and I still go see him for advice. A negative was using slides more than the board but this helped him cover a lot of material. All the slides were available to the class (sometimes they were from MIT open courseware and once or twice from the book). Take ENEE322 with this professor if you can.

Dr. Abed is quite disappointing actually. He was a funny guy and made the occasional joke. It was obvious he cared about being liked. However, he always came to class unprepared and would literally read off the book. When he didn't read off the book, he would just read off slides from MIT. The way to summarize his attitude towards the class is: He wanted to be cool and liked, but he didn't want to put any effort in order to achieve it. He would give homework in a disorganized manner and at one point gave an extremely long assignment because he was too lazy to make one for weeks. He would regularly let class out early due to lack of preparation. I was truly disappointed with the low amount of effort Dr. Abed put into the course. That being said, he made exams towards the easy side of things. People still did pretty terribly with averages in 65-70 range, and he curved generously at the end. You'll learn an average amount of material taking ENEE322 with him, but the time won't be utilized in an efficient manner.

Highly recommended. This guy is amazing! He's hilarious, and teaches quite well. Tons of problems, and makes sure you are prepared for the exam. For some reason, averages were low on all exams, but he's a great professor. He also talks a lot about people from his days at MIT, which tend to be interesting, and also cracks jokes at some impossible system configurations. If you are a nerd like me, you appreciate the humour. Take this guy for whatever he teaches. I'm taking him for 460 next semester.

Incredible professor. He is actually incredibly funny, made fun of the other professors teaching the course etc. He also does a lot of problems, and makes sure you're ready for his tests. Constantly encourages people to do better, and was pretty lenient with exams (allowed us to drop our lowest). One drawback was that he wasn't as approachable as some would have liked, I personally had no problems but friends didn't get to meet with him with problems very often.
