Hey is a very tough teacher but always very fair. If you don't understand something the best thing to do is go to his office hours. The one on one is very helpful. Had him for three quarters and have learned a lot from him.

I have had Alex for 4 quarters. In my opinion he is a really good teacher. His lectures are clear and well thought through. However, he does make sure you understand the subject well before you leave his class. So yes he is a tougher math teacher.... he likes clarity.

Really Helpful... but really wants clarity and intrepetations... a lot of group work

super helpful!! His explanation is clear and vivid. Class attendance is not mandatory and could postpone or bring forward the exam date. Just like him!

Tests were exceptionally hard, professor requires wileyplus homework to be done in comp notebook which is turned in. uses hallett book, which is sometimes off course with lectures, very bad book. intimidating personality, I do not recommend this professor.

I had three classes with Dr. Barchechat. He's old school, the way it should be. You really gotta earn that 'A'. That's how college should be. Not this watered down, new-age "everyone's a winner" philosophy where teachers give out A's like candy. That type of grading is what's undermining the whole system. I give Barchechat mad respect.

The first math class I have taken after 3 years of not being exposed to the subject. After taking his class, I knew I was in college. I was able to pass my past math courses with flying colors, but he dove into the subject deeply and covered as much as possible. I loved the class and it has changed my perspective on math. Respect to this man.

Barchechat, is a awesome professor. Hes extremely clear with his expectations for class and for exam questions. While he can be picky at times he does so, that you truly understand the concept. He teaches mostly through in class worksheets that are extremely helpful. He always willing to give help. He just wants you to have given effort beforehand

Best math professor I've ever had. I was initially intimidated by the subject but he taught it sooo well. I learned so much in his class. Do the work, listen to the lectures, ask questions.

Easiest professor ever!!!!!!! No way you can fail. Dont even try!!!! :) Good Luck!!!!!

Dr. Barchechat is thoroughly knowledgeable in Calculus IV and gave great notes. Reading the text was imperative.

Professor Barchechat demonstrates his thorough command of mathematics topics in each calculus lecture he gave when I had him for calc IV. I enjoyed his classes very much and I found his assessments to be fun and challenging.

Barchechat expects you to know what you are doing and his tests are hard, but he will never test you on something you haven't been taught in class. You get your money's worth with him. His homework assignments can be ridiculously long sometimes, but you only get one per week, so it evens out if you don't wait until the last minute to start them.

What an awesome teacher! His lectures are well worth your time. Doing the homework is required to get a good grade in the class. His lectures only cover the basics and the homework is required to have in depth knowledge. His test are very fair. They test you on basic knowledge but also have hard questions that can be worked through during the test.

Honestly, Multivariable Calculus is a hardcore, no matter whom you take. Alex is always there to help you. In his class, you are expected to spend half of the class taking lecture, half of the time doing practice, if you have questions, then hands up. Please be aware that if you are shy to rise your hands, this is not your class. Test aren't easy

he's so smart that each text would not be easy. but he gave really good lecture and extra help. i like him, he's great !!

Difficult material but he explained it well and had an effective teaching style, lots of hands-on work instead of just lecturing

He has a generous amount of office hours where you can come ask questions about anything and he gives a lot of effort to make sure you actually understand your question before leaving his office. His quizzes and tests are definitely a challenge. He sets the standard high for UWB students, which I like! As long you put in the effort you will do OK.

He got through all of the required material (and more) in a timely manner, and was still able to convey the ideas to students. Very big on theory, which is expected for a matrix algebra class.

Online homework is aweful, completely useless. In class worksheets are quite helpful.

I really liked the set up of the class. For about 30mins, he would lecture, then give us a worksheet to work on. Then pause the worksheet and move on, lecture for another 30 minutes, and let us keep working on the worksheet. The back and forth helped not fall asleep during the 2 hour class, and the practice really helped solidify what you learned.

Math 324 is a pretty brutal class in general. Concepts are hard, but most people should be able to grind through it. He will answer questions you have to try to make things more clear to you. The tests are not like homework problems so to prepare for them really try to understand and conceptualize them.

Brilliant Mathematician.. who is passionate about the field. Happy to have been a part of his class, and would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about becoming better in math, but would discourage anyone who is looking to do minimums and skate to just cut a grade.... bad format for that mentality.

Took Calc II with him last winter. Barchechat is not only an expert at integration, he was also extremely effective at teaching the subject. His tests are challenging but if you pay attention in lectures and practice the problems you should have no problem getting a good grade. Fantastic and definitely would take him again!

The class was challenging and requires lots of visualization, but Barchechat goes through the material at a steady pace and allows a generous amount of class time to practice problems. The class is pretty much half lecture and half practice time and during the practice Barchechat is extremely helpful. Definitely recommend.

Great professor! The class is relatively easy and with a good amount of practice anyone should get a decent grade.

Alex Barchechat is there to make sure you understand the material. He does so by going through wild examples and giving rigorous tests. But he always grades on a good curve. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT whine about not understanding material in any class he teaches if you won't raise your hand when you first feel lost. Ask him. He'll help. He's great!

His grading is fair and he is clear about what we need to learn. Great professor overall.

His lecture is really clear and he knows what he is talking about. Tests are not easy though he curves. Not easy to get 4.0, but still will get a fair enough grade. Homework are not too much, but not little for sure. Would take him again for sure!

He moves at a good pace through the material, so class is neither boring nor overwhelming. He gives you in-class problems to work on to enhance learning. Ask him for help if you need it! You will get out of this class what you put into it. Don't expect to pass just by doing hw and sitting in class observing. Do the in class problems, ask for help.

Barchechat rocks! Funny, awesome teaching style, incredibly helpful. Always will answer questions to make sure everyone understands the material. Ask him for helpclarity if you need it. Master solving the problems he gives in class, and you will ace the quizzes and exams. He grades harshly, but curves, so it's more than fair. Chili Pepper.

best math teacher I've ever had. So patient with people who don't understand what's going on in class! tests aren't that bad if you study your notes

Overall, a solid professor. He's tough, but fair. A core part of his class are worksheets which he provides, but he refuses to give any solutions to them. However, you are absolutely free to ask questions and send emails to him to check your work. In other words, while a little inconvenient, definitely fair. I personally enjoyed his dry humor too.

A fine lecturer who gives tough exams.

Great teacher, knows his stuff.

The style of the class is very different. He lectures for about 10-15 minutes then gives you problems to work on by yourself the rest of class and he is there to answer questions and check that you did them correctly. Though different, this was a very effective way to get students to do the learning in the classroom rather than outside of it.

Mad whiteboard skillz

He is a very great professor. He wouldn't hesitate to answer mathematical questions. He really cares about the understanding of the concepts and will guide you through step by step without missing any details. He provides an example each chapter/section during Lecture which helps when doing homework. I recommend barchechat for any math course

I'm taking calculus 3 in uwb with this professor and it's actually my first quarter ever in uwb. He cares a lot about every students and the way he explains things is inspiring me to pull off better approach to problems that he goes over in the class. I feel like I can deal with any problems I see from the homework without facing any difficulty.

Great teacher, very clear, understands the subject (matrix algebra) is confusing, and tries to make it so everyone understands.

Matrix Algebra is a very abstract concept and it is fairly difficult to understand some topics. He teaches the topic pretty well and is very accessible during office hours. his feedback on tests is informative and helpful.

Had him for UW in the High School calculus last year. Tests could be easier and assignments/worksheets more thorough, but class overall is fine. He's really nice too.

Barchechat is a pretty good calc professor, but sometimes his lectures are a bit confusing or incomplete. That being said he is extremely helpful while doing in class work and doesn't make you feel like an idiot for not understanding something. Currently taking him for STMATH125 and would take him again for 126 if he taught it this winter.

Professor Barchechat might seem intimidating at first, but he's actually really helpful. His tests are kind of difficult, but during his lectures, he explains concepts really well, so if you pay attention then, read the chapter before class or even after the lecture, and use the homeworks as practice, the class is fairly easy.

Professor Barchechat is perfectly well at online teaching style. His quizzes, tests, and HW are both in MyMathLab. Especially on tests, he gives you two times (Highest grade submitted). If you work hard on his class, practice outside of his class, and review his PowerPoint notes (not from textbooks), you'll be definitely fine.

Lowest Quizzes and Lowest Online Homework dropped! He is the best instructor Ive ever had!

This instructor is really amazing. I took his multivariable calculus class during this summer. He gives you two chances to take both Midterm and Final (First chance is a practice exam).

This is really an easy and a relaxed class.

When I first saw his ratings, I was honestly intimidated but I am very glad that I took him for math 124. He makes sure you understand. He promotes a very cooperative environment in class. This class is not easy but if you meet him for office hours, ask him questions, listen in class, and give your best efforts, you will do fine.

No required participation. But plz, plz, make it to the class, at least once a week. He'll give you a 1-1 help on problem (if and only if you have tried it out, or explain what you're stuck on). Friendly. His tests are heavy. Lots of questions. BUT show your work, he's generous on giving extra credits. Beware of meditation stuff.

Really cool prof, super easy to understand and explains concepts well. Gives really helpful practice exams which help prepare fully for all exams. Gives a bit of extra credit but not to much, but always willing to talk about how to improve in the class. Probably my favorite calc prof so far.

Ok yeah the meditation stuff it’s a little weird but I ended up liking it. Super nice prof, explains concepts really well. If you can do the practice you will ace the midterms. Talk to him if you have concerns, always willing to help at end of quarter, and always wants to understand where students are coming from.

Responsive in and out of class, very willing to help students out. Accepts and responds to feedback. Make sure to take notes on the video lectures. You'll need a lot of scratch paper... and to practice solving problems often on your own time.

Professor Barchechat goes above and beyond for his students. The people complaining below are only doing so because they don't want to put the effort in to succeed.Whenever I had a question about hw or thought I deserved a higher score on an exam or a quiz he would take my argument seriously. He is receptive to emails and is a caring professor.

We met once a week, where we would go over a few problems from the homework and do a set of problems. He prerecords lectures which you are expected to watch, does not lecture much in person. Homework is easy as it is all online with multiple attempts, easy to use chegg or something else, answers are all on there. Beware of midterms, they are tough.

Professor Barchechat is great, everyone says attendance is mandatory but its not, he checks your notes every other lecture but you can show anytime. If you email a question he will always answer extremely quickly. His video lectures are meh but if you ask any questions in class or email hell make sure to explain until you understand completely

Professor was difficult. Its not an easy A so if you know you earned it. I would say getting a 2.0 is like getting a 3.0 in other classes. More conceptual than computational. On exams the integrals and derivatives aren't super complex but you will be asked to apply what you learned. Fair but strict. Lowkey gives shout outs to those who try hard :D

Be ready to spend time working on pre-lecture videos before classes.

His online lecture videos were well done; they conveyed the material effectively and showed exam-relevant examples. The course has a flipped classroom structure, so come into class expecting to do problems and assume that you'll need to know at least the general ideas from the assigned lecture video. All exams are open note and allow a calculator.

Professor Barchechat is a very thoughtful professor who genuinely cares about his students. He doesn't just try to teach the topic at hand, he also encourages students to practice critical thinking, self motiv

Took him this summer and honestly he is a great professor. He lets you choose your own grade distribution with at least 17.5% being the midterm and 17.5% being the final which isn't bad. Have to put in the effort in order to do well in this class and his exams are similar to his lectures and in-class worksheets and grades very nicely.
