Crazy/awesome/unique outfits! Very positive attitude everyday!
Aba is one of the most eccentric teachers I've had, but he really made an effort to ensure that everyone understood the material and had the tools necessary to do well in the class. He was always willing to answer questions about homework and held study sessions before exams. I had my doubts at first, but he ended up being a pretty good professor.
Aba is hilarious, probably the funniest professor I've ever had.
aBa is hilarious and has fun teaching, but at times can be a little sidetracked and give some examples that make it more confusing. He is always helpful and available very often to help. Fun class, fun teacher!
ProfaBa was one of the best professors I've had in my 5 years of college. He's very good at making material fun and interesting. The entire class was engaged, and he really connected with the students. Very fun positive personality and an all around cool guy. Two thumbs up! He's awesome! (Even if you hate Math, you'll love his class)
Prof Aba is a cool professor. There are times that i didnt understand what he was trying to teach but he tries to clarify everything. Hes super funny and tries to make the class more interesting and not boring. He wants all of his students to achieve a good grades so he tries his best to do an extra problem for everyone to get. Overall hes great.
Funniest and most interesting professor ever! A great quality guy and class will never be boring.
aBa is the funniest and coolist teacher I've ever had. He makes Mathematics so easy to learn and understand as well. Plus, he has a very unique clothing and hairstyle that sometimes freaks you out.
My experience with Aba was pretty good. The class moved along kinda slow, but it made sure that I had a concrete understanding of everything. If your looking for a fun math teacher that is decently easy, Aba is your guy.
Aba is awesome! he is willing to help you understand the material and gives study guides for the test which makes it easy! very fun professor
very helpful and always kept things interesting
Great professor! He really knows his stuff and knows how to keep things interesting while teaching
I have a great list of quotes from ProfaBa over the semester I had him. Going back I still laugh every time I read them. He really knows how to make a subject as potentially boring as math quite tolerable.
He is awesome take him, or you will be a sad panda
I loved him as a professor! He is so helpful and funny. I wasn't afraid to ask him about anything that I needed help on. The class moves slowly, but I really did end up understanding everything eventually! I highly recommend him!!!
I love aBa! He is truly the best math professor/teacher I have ever had. He ALWAYS replies to emails, is ALWAYS willing to help students, and wants every individual to do amazing in his class. For hw we had unlimited tries because he wanted everyone to get 100%. That alone shows how much he cares. Bonus, he is hilarious and makes math FUN :)
Aba is a GREAT math professor. I've never had a class so fun. He keeps everything interesting all day every day. He has the funkiest personality and wears some pretty ridiculous stuff. I learned a lot in his class and he is always very prompt with answering homework questions& is always available for his students questions in the office or outside.
aBa is a great professor! Has a great personality and interesting fashion style. Cares about all his students and wants them to get as high a grade as possible. Get unlimited tries on the homework and answers EVERY email I've sent! Overall pretty easy class with an awesome professor.
Aba is energetic but at times the class became out of control and difficult to follow the chaos and have a good learning environment.
Encourages students to rate him on here. Explains lessons in depth and will help whenever you need it. He helped explain Calc to me even though i wasn't in his class. Extremely friendly and helpful. I'd take any class he teaches. Amazing teacher.
Aba is amazing! He makes math fun for everyone. He isn't the usual boring professor. He has his own sense of style and is kind of crazy (in a good way). He can make you smile if you are having a bad. He is just awesome. Definitely recommend taking a course from him!
aBa is the most eccentric, funny, fun professor I've ever encountered. His appearance is like nothing you've ever seen. He is super fun and a great guy. However, he teaches really fast and isn't the most clear. Some days he can be annoying. Overall, easy A class if you go. Do the homework and you'll be great.
Aba is one of the most unique people I have ever met. He knows what he is talking about and is very good at explaining things. He also cares about how you do in the class so if you put forth your best effort he will make it worth it. He appreciates the difficulty of the material and makes abstract a blast!
Don't look at my grade and go "oh god, what, no", because I've always been really bad at math. Like, 'I nearly failed a remedial trig class' bad, so I was DREADING taking it my freshman year--and it ended up being my favorite class. Never in my life had I looked forward to math until I had aBa. He cares and he wants you to do well. Take his class.
Aba is one of the funniest people I've ever met. He made an impressive effort to memorize all of our names, which reflects how much he cares about the students. He is personable and able to be reached via email. The assignments are online and you get unlimited chances. The tests are not bad as long as you studypay attention in class. I recommend!
aBa (That's how he likes his name to be spelt) is a very spontaneous and outgoing professor. His wacky outfits and weird quirks will be the topics of your conversations for the entire semester. Although he is very passionate about Math, he gets off topic extremely easy. Be ready for lots of online assignments, but it's worth it in the end.
Aba is without a doubt the most unique professor I've ever had. His personality is as vibrant as his wardrobe. Though he's hilarious, he's a very distracting and distracted teacher. He uses confusing examples and gets problems wrong sometimes, so watch for that. However, he's really helpful, which is nice seeing as there's a lot of online work.
aBa is hands-down the most unique person at UWEC either student or professor. He goes the extra mile to ensure that his students understand the material and enjoy his class. It's obvious that he cares about his students both inside and outside the classroom. I have never looked forward to a math class until aBa's class! Highly recommend!!
Aba is by far my most favorite professor yet at UWEC. The math materials were not difficult at all but he made class interesting to go to everyday to learn. He is always open to helping you and making sure you pass with the best grade possible!
aBa is by far the best professor i've ever had. He's extremely helpful and he truly wants all of his students to exceed. He understands that you have a life outside of class and often postpones homework because he wants to you to well and understand. I've always hated math in the past, but this is always my favorite class to go to.
Aba is a phenomenal math professor and he makes some very difficult concepts much easier to understand. The lectures are engaging and entertaining and it feels much more like a group effort than him speaking at us. 1010 would take this class again if I could!
Aba is the most unique professor I have ever had! He's super fun, cares about his students, and sincerely wants everyone in his class to understand the material. I absolutely hate math, but Aba made this class pretty easy and definitely interesting to go to.
aBa was by far the best professor I have had at UW Eau-Claire so far. He is very clear in he lectures and is always, always willing to help. If you email him questions he usually answers within minutes. I took his class a year ago, and even now he still offers me plenty of help for other math courses and is always there. If you can, take aBa!
Great person let alone professor, makes class enjoyable even if you hat math, very helpful and as always very funny!
Aba really holds students accountable. Whenever you miss class, he will approach you about it mention it in a joking manner so that it isn't insulting. If you have a deadline approaching he always reminds you of it, and if you have a late assignment, he is willing to work with you on turning it in for at least partial credit, unlike most professors
aBa is hands down my favorite professor that I have ever had. He is incredibly smart, hilarious, and truly cares about his students. I have always hated math, until I was in his class. He made every day interesting and he was engaging and energetic. I'd advise you to always go to class however, as he will call you out for not showing up! Go aBa!
This was only my first semester of college and I can already say aBa will be one of my favorite professors I'll ever have. He's helpful, funny, crazy, and a great person. I did not like math at all, yet I absolutely loved coming to this class. Take aBa if you are able too. You will NOT regret it.
Taking aBa's courses will make you love maths, and he is a so nice and also crazy person. I took 314 the first semester for my college life, and I really enjoy it. aBa is my favorite professor I ever met.
aBa is so crazy and entertaining! For once in my life, I actually looked forward to going to math class. That being said, he gets very distracted and often makes errors on problems during his lectures, but I would take him again in a heartbeat! He cares so much about his students and is always quick to respond to questions. TAKE HIM!!!
aBa is one of those people that everyone should meet in their lifetime. He is the most interesting and amazing professor you will ever probably have! He cares deeply for his students and even invites everyone over before exams for a pizza study sesh, just to make sure everyone understands the content. You will NOT regret taking his class.
ABA IS LIFE! he is so understanding and laid back and really wants you to learn. He is definitely one of the coolest people ive ever met. he has study sessions with pizza. he will keep you laughing and learning all of lecture.
aBa is a pretty good professor. He really wants you to succeed and offers loads of extra help. His test and quizzes are pretty straight forward and he allows notecards on all the tests. He is very funny and for the most part class goes by fast. At times he can go a little too fast. He is very strict about attendance so show up to avoid consequence.
Take a class with aBa, you won't regret it!
Good at maintaining a positive enviorment
Makes learning such fun and will explain things multiple ways to make sure that you understand what you are doing.
Aba is by far one of the greatest professors I've ever had. He is hilarious and energetic, and truly wants all of his students to succeed. He is a little spacey and sometimes hard to follow, but if you get lost he's always willing to help you outside of class! I truly miss having him!
Good guy but doesn't explain material the best.
He keeps class interesting, he's hilarious, he's thorough in his teaching, etc. I don't really have anything bad to say about him or the class!
aBa is by far my favorite professor at UWEC! He's so much fun in class that you actually like going! Homework is online and he's really great at responding to emails when you're stuck on a problem. Plus, he has review sessions at his house with pizza! 10/10 would recommend taking a course with aBa!
Aba is an amazing professor, definitely one of the best that I've had. He keeps the class intrigued with his energy and enthusiasm. I definitely do not like math, but Aba keeps its very bearable for me. He is also great at connecting with his students and doing everything he can to make sure everyone understands the content.
BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY.. TAKE HIM
aBa is pretty cool. Very enthusiastic and checks to see if he's going too fast during lessons. I didn't like math before this class and still didn't like it afterwards, but I went to most of the homework help sessions and passed just fine. Highly recommend him and his class!
Aba is one of the BEST profs I've ever had. I was nervous about taking his class because I have always been TERRIBLE at math, but Aba made it easy for me. His class was the first time I ever got an A in math. There are help sessions every week with TA's, and he always holds great review sessions (with free pizza!) before each test. Allows notecards
Funniest teacher you'll ever have. Tons of homework but easy to manage! Work hard and you'll get a good grade!
aBa is the coolest/craziest human being you will ever meet in your entire life. He did the impossible and made math my favorite class. Gets super into every demonstration/lecture. By far the best math class I've ever taken. He is also the most understanding person ever and if you're struggling just email/talk to him. (Gives you a dope nickname too)
If you have the chance to take a class with aBa, DO IT! He is the most interesting human I've ever met. His lectures were great. He always prepared us for tests really well. He offered lots of study sessions (with pizza in his awesome house!) I got a great grade in his class and loved it so much! Definitely my favorite class of the semester!
aBa is such an amazing professor. He's super interesting, and cares about his students. He makes lectures really interesting, and he even rapped to us once! Some of the homework and exams are with a group, and that's really helpful. Don't be worried. The math isn't too hard, and aBa makes it so much fun! Would recommend to anyone!
Aba is amazing! I am so bad at math, but he helped me actually understand the content. You only need the textbook if you need more examples of a problem. He makes the class so much fun and is pretty funny! One of the best professors I've had!
I loved aBa! I've never been good at math, and I got 100% on multiple exams. I've loved being in his class and if I ever had the chance to take another class with him I would in a heartbeat.
aBa is a very fun professor and manages to make all sorts of math enjoyable. He included everyone in the class in discussions and encouraged people to interact. Very helpful and accessible outside of class.
If you have the chance to take one of aBa's classes, do it. He is hands down the most interesting and fun person I've ever met. Before tests he'll hold study sessions at his house that were always super fun and helpful. I am bad at math and have never liked it, but aBa makes up for it 100% He is also super accessible and willing to work with you!
aBa is super cool. He's kind of a campus mythological creature that also gets to teach you math. However, the material is never explained in a way that I understand (I like methodical, slow steps and aBa tends to jump around. I can't follow). The class is relatively easy, with the exception of a few units that contained much higher level concepts.
aBa was an amazing professor! He is always willing to be there for his students and help them out. Im not usually good at math, but I did great in this class! Thank you aba!
By far my favorite professor Ive ever taken. aBa made math my favorite subject. He is one of the most caring and beautiful souls Ive ever met. Hes crazy and passionate and it makes you look forward to going to class. If you have the opportunity to take one of his classes, do it.
Best/funniest self-describing cryptid/alien I've ever learned from. He can move kind of fast through concepts and if you haven't done them before it can be a little hard to follow but he has office hours as well as SI and homework help sessions that will absolutely get you to where you need to be in time for the test. Sometimes he raps 10/10
love this guy and his crazy mind. best teacher ever.
Aba is one of the funniest and most caring professors I have ever met. He offers so many resources outside of the classroom if you need help! Participation is very important and he makes that clear at the beginning of the year!
aBa is a neat character and is one of my favorites. Don't skip this class or you will fail because everything builds on each other. The proofs are lengthy, and sometimes confusing. He provides many opportunities to meet and talk about the content and homework/tests though.
I WISH I COULD TAKE THIS CLASS OVER AGAIN! I have never enjoyed going to math class before. I feel like every student should take at least one class with aBa. He is a ray of sunshine in this dark world.
aBa is awesome!! He is a really great lecturer and really easy to follow in class. He makes jokes to lighten up the math and the class periods go so fast. He is very easy to talk to and get to know as a person not just a professor. I would highly recommend taking him for any course you can
He is a good teacher but talks over your head at times. I wish he would have slowed down and took more time explaining things.
Aba is the best. You'll regret not taking a class with him as a teacher, he is one of the most precious gems eau claire has to offer. His class was a little difficult for me just because I am bad at math, but he makes going to class so fun and you really learn taking his class. Easy assignments and he is super helpful outside of class
I suck at math so much. SO MUCH. aBa was always there for me and responded quickly to my emails. Ive never been more awake in a math class than I have with aBa, such a fantastic prof!! He cares about us and wants us to succeed
aBa is one of the best professors I have ever had, I usually struggle in math but this class I got a 99.9%. They are very accessible outside of class and always answers their email quick. Very inclusive environment for all members of the LGBTQ and other minorities.
I took him back in my freshman year. I sucked at math but somehow, still managed to pass with an A-. Attend SI sessions, they help! He is so funny and has such a fun personality. On top of that, I interviewed him for an assignment for a class, and he is the definition of rags to riches. Extremely humble and kind professor.
I have always thought I was bad at math and that I wasn't smart. When in reality I just needed to have aBa as a professor. He has made me love math and I looked forward to class everyday.
My personal worst subject was math, and I was really worried about taking a math course because I always struggle. I am so glad I took mine with aBa. He is the most funny and caring professor I've ever had, and I can't believe he helped me get to an A-. This class is easy, and you can redo the homework as many times as you want.
This was my first semester at UWEC and aBa was my favorite professor by far. He is hilarious and super helpful. He gives you the materials you need to pass the class. If you do the homework you'll do good on the exams and quizzes, they are very similar. aBa genuinely cares about his students and will get to know you and help you succeed.
Made the semester bearable. He is so kind and funny. The class material was a little difficult but he spent so much time going over examples that it became very doable (and I hate math lol). He genuinely cares about his students and makes everyone feel seen and valued. If you miss an assignment, will let you re-do it or turn in late.
Aba is a real gift to UWEC. He is beyond caring and compassionate. I have battling illness for the majority of this semester, and he has been helpful in anyway that he can be. He makes sure you're on top of your work and caught up. He just caree, which feels harder and harder to come by. Take his classes if you have the chance.
aBa was so great and I am so glad that I got to have him as a teacher. I loved how he created an environment to get to know the people around you. He actually took the time to get to know his students. He can be confusing at times but I usually caught on quickly. We were offered so much help from him and two student assistants.
aBa is an amazing professor. He's basically a human genius, and this shines through in lectures. However, he tends to go a little fast sometimes and going to class would be in your best interest to pass. I've never understood math before and aBa somehow made me good at it. Super fun and interesting professor!
I have never had a professor like aBa and I am sure I never will again. He is truly one of a kind, but you can tell that he loves what he does. aBa is incredibly knowledgeable about math, but he makes the class fun. He makes sure to know every one of his students and is always there for extra help. I highly recommend taking a class with aBa!
aBa was fine. People really hype him up. He's very woke and extremely political in class - it gets a little exhausting. He is ALWAYS 2-3minutes late to class. He also totally skipped class on a quiz day because he forgot we had class. He's fine. It's an easy A. Definitely not my favorite class, won't be taking aBa again, but it worked fine once.
aBa is great such a good person and he cares about each of his students and trys to actually get to know them. He made math enjoyable. Sometimes thought I do believe he teaches in a not straight forward way and confuses things. I personally wish hed do more examples and expect homework every week usually three assignments per week.
BEST PROF EVER!! He makes time to get to know his students. He had a nickname for almost everyone in my class, he teaches math better than any math teacher I ever had in high school, and he makes class fun. Take an aBa class if you have the chance, he's awesome!
At first I wasn't the biggest fan, but as the semester went on I could tell Aba truly cares about his students! I was struggling in the class since I'm not good at math but he went the extra mile to help me. He takes a bit of getting used to, but he means well and wants to see you succeed. Take him if you have the chance!
aBa actually made me enjoy math, and I hate math! Math 104 is rather difficult but aBa makes it worth it! He is such a kooky person and I love it! Loves to give out nicknames!! Sometimes he was hard to follow but if you ask him to re-explain he will gladly do so. If you go to the SI sessions and Homework help, you should have no issue passing.
By far my favorite professor. Always responds to emails almost instantly. The NICEST person ever. Super accommodating and understanding. Makes math class my favorite class somehow and I HATE math. TAKE ABA. He is also hilarious everyday. Can get a bit political at times but it is rare, otherwise 100/10 professor. Need more people like him at UWEC.
aba is one of the best professor I have ever had! aba cares about their students and their success. I am definitely not a math person, but aba made this class enjoyable!
Definitely recommend. He's a little out of the box in class, but he makes class fun and interesting to go to. Attendance is definitely mandatory and the test material is lecture heavy. There are little exams/quizzes and the majority of the grade is based on homework. He was very willing to help during office hours and I could reach him any time.
Made the lectures incredibly confusing and skipped all over the place. We missed key information and his homework was way too much for the course. He expects you to be working on his class 24/7 and expects that you should understand concepts immediately. It is a 3 credit course, but it felt like a 5 credit course.
He is a good professor who can teach well, but he gets very political. I want to go to class get what I need done and leave, but this was not an option.
Aba gives up to 4 homework assignments a week. He is very caring. GO to the SI and Homework help sessions for help. They are super nice and want you to pass. Do you home as early as you can so you don't get behind. If you do all the homework, with how its weighted the practice will carry your grade mostly. Study for exams! He gives extra credit!
I love aBa! Math is not my strong suit, and still isn't, but he made lecture worth going to and has plenty of resources for us outside of class to help us get to where we need to be. He cares deeply and you can tell he really wants you to pass.
aBa was genuinely AMAZING! He works so hard to help his students succeed, and it's so clear that he truly cares about every student he's had, currently has, and will have in the future. He's goofy and occasionally makes political jokes, but at the end of the day, he's all love. If you get the chance, PLEASE take his class!
aBa has a love for math that is very easy to see and a personality that makes a math class actually fun to come to to. I've never been very confident in my math abilities but this class has changed that. There are lots of resources for your success. I don't think that he is as political as people say, he doesn't bring that up much at all.
aBa is such a wonderful professor. Rarely do I have a professor that truly loves what they do, and no only does aBa love what he does but he has a genuine care for his students and wants them to succeed. I'm not great at math but aBa and the SI teachers will do everything they can to help students to actually understand the material.
I hate math classes but this professor made the class bareable, always including humor in his lectures and willing to answer as many questions as you need. He also has amazing student teachers who are willing to help and going to get help from them can lead to extra credit. If you hate math bhut need to take a class, have this professor
Knows his stuff. Super hard class but made it fun to be a part of. If aBa is an option for your course, it's a no-brainer decision to make.
