I learned a lot from professor Abid. If you decide to take him be prepared to put a lot of work in. This class was one of the more difficult classes I took here at GRCC. His tests are challenging so pay attention to his lectures and read the book. Tests are worth 60% of your grade. Attendance, participation and homework are 40%.

Great professor overall! Such a good professor and a good person himself. Has a lot of cool and funny stories. About his class, if you don't show up won't pass. He goes over everything fast so if you can, voice record the class. it helps. Also, READ THE TEXTBOOK! A lot of the questions on his test are from the book that he doesn't cover in class.

Lots of discussion posts & he reads every one of the posts. He provides mounds of feedback. Do not slack on posts they impact your grade immensely. Homework is avg amount. His tests are also very straight forward. He offers youtube lectures teaching each unit which makes it so nice! Overall, he puts a lot of effort into grading and your feedback

Lectures were off topic and did not prepare you for upcoming tests. The only reason I ended with an A in his class was because I did all of the extra credit he offered.

Professor Abid is by far the best teacher I have had at GRCC. He is willing to explain things no matter what even though he explains topics really well. When you do the take home essay spend a lot of time on it!!

If you show up and you pay attention, there is no reason you shouldn't get at least a B in this class. The first two tests are hardest, so hang in there, it does get easier. Structure is the same every 2 weeks, he's clear on test material. The book is helpful for homework. Gives 6 tests and drops the worst one, so it's worth it to take all 6.

I'm currently taking his Macroecon class online and he is awesome. He interacts with the student's posts and makes you think and/or understand the content. Rather than focus on how many posts/words you're writing per week, his focus is on your understanding of the subject. Responds/grades fast & fair, clear instructions on tests/hw. Best prof yet!

Professor Abid was a phenomenal professor, especially for an Economics course online. Throughout his course, he is very clear on expectations and what needs to be done to gain an understanding of the complicated subject economics. Very quick on grading and gives excellent feedback. Very respectful and experienced also. Definitely would take again!

One of the most effective professors at GRCC. He tutored me a few times and explained things in a way that made it easier to understand. He was (is) absolutely awesome!

I had Abid for both macro and micro econ. He is one of the best educators i have had. No BS, explains economic concepts extremely clearly and effectively, and makes the class easy if you at least put in some effort.

I loved the online schedule. It was very easy to work at your own pace because the units were in 3 week chunks. He interacted with students on the discussion boards which does not happen very often. The tests are a little on the difficult side but he gives you a study guide.

Prof Abid is a great, funny guy. I didn't care to show up to his 7:45 class everyweek as I am more of an online class person, but he made me look forward to tuesdays. His tests are easy and not much else is required of his class. I got a nice boost in my grade at the end just for showing up a good amount of time& you really dont need the textbook.

Very good professor for those who struggle with the material.He is very clear and helpful. I found it hard not to get A's on test if you attend class and pay attention. I almost thought it was overkill sometimes because i understood so clearly. overall great professor
