You really cant understand what he's saying most of the time
He looks like Ricky Martin but chooses a bad math book for the class. The book is complicated and doesn't explain how to work out problems too well. He's patient but goes rather quickly.
Very Arrogant, Says half the class isnt going to pass on the 1st day, Bases grades not on grades, ****. Dont take him- avoid him at all costs.
Explains carefully and covers a breadth of problems pertinent to the course. Also took 150b with him, which was also taught well.
COOL HIP GUY. VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT TEACHING. TEST MAY SEEM A LITTLE DIFFICULT BUT HE PREPARES THE STUDENTS WELL FOR THEM . VERY FAIR IN GRADING . I JUST LOVE THE WAY HE TEACHES.........
very nice teacher& person. he only wants the best for the students. tries to help us a lot in class and office hours. explains very clearly. prepares by giving hw and handouts and practice problem sheets. helps a lots.Very HOT but married :-):-):-)
Took him for both 150A & 150B. Great Professor. Excited about his subject. You will never fall asleep in his class. Very patient with the students. Explains material well. Do the homework and you'll be fine.
This man is one of the most wonderful teachers I have ever had. I got an A in his class, but had to work extremely hard for it. great attitude in class...helpful, kind, difficult tests but wonderful teacher!
Problem is he gives examples straight from book, you dont have any outside examples to refer to. He is extremely bad in providing solutions, but tests are reasonable.
I did very well in next classes (Math 350, Math 462, Math 450)because I learned a lot in your classe Math320.
Good teaching method and young and smart!
He's very excited about the material, goes at a very fast pace, and makes the material interesting. He's also very helpful during office hours but it's impossible to study for his midterms since he doesn't give out homework solutions.
Explains difficult concepts in a clear and concise manner. Cares about students and very helpful
He's a great teacher. He explains well and helps our. I wish he was teaching other math classes.
he screwed the whole class up he came in the last 3 weeks of the semester did not go over the tests and also did not help with the final, so do NOT take him for this class!!!!!!

His quality is below average.

This guy screwed up the class towards the end fo the semester. I was doing fine, then at the last weeks he crammed 2 freaking tests on us. Then after that he threw a final at us without even helping us. His accent reminds me that Jean Claude Van Damme is teaching the class so at least that was cool. He curves hella weird too. It's your choice if you want to take him.
was great understood what he was teaching. explained everything well.
His mexican acent just putting me in saint, and he doesn't really care if the students pass or not
He is a hard teacher...goes too fast and i think everyone is failing hiss class, i had to drop it...TOO hard
he knows his stuff and comes to class prepared, he is very smart, BUT!!!...... he doesnt help the students, does not give examples, is WAY TOOOO fast in teaching , and does not care. stay away from him
This teacher was unclear with the assignments and didn't explain himself well at all. He just taught out of the book and I don't even think anyone is passing his class...
Excellent professor. Extremely thorough and clear. Very concerned about student progress.
whatever you do don't take this professor. He tells everyone how hard the class is the first day. He is not lying!He is a jerk, he says he doesn't care if he fails everyone.
nice guy but not helpful at all. his test are really hard and the majority of the class either dropped or failed. he has a think accent making it very hard to understand and only used examples from the book so no outside examples. homework everyday. if you want to pass stats do not take him!
I lot of people in the class didnt like him but he is a good teacher. I took stats before and he is by FAR a better teacher than who I had before. I do recommend him.
Worse teacher in the WORLD. NOT HELPFUL WHATSOEVER AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AT ALLL. DO NOT TAKE HIM. HES A POMPOUS JERK.
Not to good at explaining himself during lecture, but you understand him if you ask for clarity. He's a great professor. His wife is awesome! I recommend him, and I bet he's good any math course.
Horrible! He teaches from a notebook, assigns alot of homework, then dosent even take the time to explain what you didnt understand. He's not very helpuful and boy is he boring!
tough course - does a decent job with it.
He is a good teacher. People who failed also failed to show up to class. Everything is straight forward and he lets you use notes on the tests!! Stats is all about putting info into a calculator, if you put the formluas on your note card you will be fine. There are professors that are worse, so I would go with him.
Great guy! Wants to see his students pass. Come to class, study for the 3 midterms. Do well and you wont have to take the final. Also do the webwork cause thats an easy A. Only bad part is the $80 calc u need to get. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
AT FIRST I HATED HIM I THOUGHT HE WANTED THE CLASS TO FAIL, BUT HE CURVES THE GRADES AND LETS YOU USE NOTES ON THE TEST. IF YOU HAVE A PASSING GRADE W/O THE FINAL YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE IT!
This professor wants you to pass. Many people who do bad in this course simply did not attend class. Sample exams are posted on the course homepage and they are basically what is going to be on the real exam, except a couple of numbers are changed here and there. Learn how to use the TI-83 and you can easily pass this class with no struggle.
Good teacher, if you do not understand his lectures just make sure you devote some time to read the textbook. If you are happy with your grade at the end of the semester, you do not have to take the cummulative final! If you wanna get something out of the class and a good teacher with moderate HW, take him.
Abrego really cares about his student's success. If you do the sample tests on his website before each test, you'll pass the class b/c they're very similar!His class was EASY, just do the the extra work;sample test, h/w problems [he doesn't grade it, but it will really help you out during tests]. If you are lazy, I wouldn't recommend this class.
I hate math! So if you despise math I recommend this class. He cares about you and your grade. Curbs your grade, online homework is very easy, and the quizzes are only 2 problems. Attendance counts. At the end if you are satisfied with your grade, you don't have to take the final. Just don't take PROF. FULLER
Loved this guy!He's laid back and cares about his students grades. His lectures are clear and he tries to make it as easy as possible. His quizes are few and easy. Homework is online & super easy. He has sample mid-terms that are identical to the real ones. You dont have to take the final if youre happy w/ your grade. he made me like math.
you cant understand him when he talks.
takes attendance. homework online through webwork, puts all class lecture notes online with powerpoint, book was not very necessary TI-calculator is a must. 3 exams, allows one index card of notes on tests. after the 3 exams, he tells u ur grade, if ur happy no need for final if not u can take final. I never had to take it. happy with my C
He speaks with an accent, but is easy to understand after the first class. Teaches very well, makes statistics seem as easy as you can, and does his best to relate the material to real life. Allows an index card of notes on every test,and if you do well enough you don't have to take the final.Also grades on a good curve. Great,not scary math class!
This proffesor is not recommended! He has a very bad accent difficult to understand. He teaches with popwer points which makes it easy to get lost. he does allow an index card on each test but he cannot teach! i love math but after taking this class, i HATE it!!!!!!
He's an O.K. teacher. He's a professional Rubic's Cube solver; can solve it within a minute. Those of you who play rubic's cube can challenge him on your free time.
This class is definetly hard but he does his best and makes it as easy as possible. If u attend class on a regular basis im sure you will pass. A TI 83 in MANDATORY!!!!!!! You with defiently struggle w/o one. Unlike other teachers he teaches u with it rather than doing it by hand
the class is soo hard. it is so hard to understand him, but i like how he says averach (average). make sure u go to tutoring sessions because you wont learn anything without it. make sure u write as many notes on the index card for tests as possible. oh and the online practice tests are almost exactly like the real tests, just different numbers.
Class was not easy but not hard either. Professor's very fair. Go to class, do the homework, and do NOT slack off on Exam 2 because you do well on Exam 1.
EXCELLENT TEACHER. GO TO CLASS, TAKE NOTES AND YOU'LL PASS. SAMPLE TEST ARE VERY HELPFUL AS IS THE NOTE CARD HE LETS YOU USE ON THE TESTS.
AWFUL PROFESSOR, doesnt make sense on anything, this professor is a statistician which means hes is inflexible, even with official matters. Listen to me and do yourself a favor and get different professor, its a waste of money in his class.
This is a very difficult class. I love Math and Ive been pretty good at it but this class was very tough. Dr. Abrego is an excellent teacher though! Thick accent but understandable. Lets u use a notecard and gives sample tests. Also, u dont have to take the final if u dont want to! Overall, he is really good, the material is hard...go to tutoring!!
so the profesor is really not bad, its the subject itself thats tough, pay attention and go to class, and take notes. do ALL work, including sample tests and your fine.
Its Statistics, its hard! 1. Take Notes, 2. Have a partner, 3. No how to use the TI-83, 4. Do the Webwork, 5. Do the practice test, 6. Tutoring is optional if you really dont get it, 7. Dont get too confident if you do well on the first exam! 8. Make the notecard with as much possible info for the the test, 9. Ask Mr. Averach if you dont get it, in class!
You will do really good if you study practice exams and complete homework. The subject is not easy, so it's really important for you to be in class. If you don't get it, make sure you go to tutoring centre and ask them questions. Dr. Abrego made me like math through this class. He made the subject very interesting.
AWFUL & BORING! he doesn't make any sense!, he makes everything all confusing, he is NOT a fair grader, doesn't care if you couldn't understand, he will keep going on and says "that's it, grades are final" he is like has full of BS.
TERRIBLE PERSON! he is just so clueless on what he is teaching, and he is full of BS. he doesn't care about students, he is just full of himself, if you want to learn REAL statistics then take someone else, he is NOT recommended at all means.
I thought he was a good teacher. And he is not a horrible person. You just need to go to class and take notes. It's not as bad as these people say.
ok its not THAT bad really. i truly suck at math but i managed to get a c+ i was only absent once and my tests went from a d to a c to a b because i studied. i advise you to go to class and do the webwork it will balance your grade :) take him.
Explanations were easy to understand, the homework was online, he puts up practice tests, does examples and answers everyone's questions. He curves the final grade in the class and does not require you to take the final if you are happy with your grade. He does everything in his power to make it possible for people to do well.
Anyone who says he is boring just does not see the fun of it all. his accent is hilarious yet if you know spanish you will be fine. the homeworks are a bit hard yet managable. the tests are extremely easy. he does some laughter but minimal. i do reccomnd him as he is seen the best prof there.
He's extremly boring and I couldn't pay attention to any of his lectures. I went to class because it is 2% of your grade which made a big difference for me. Online homework is easy but I learned nothing from the class.
Show up to class, take notes ( you don't even need the book..most of the stuff you need is on his powerpoints.) Hw is easy, and even gives practice exams before the test (also lets you use a 3x5 index card on the exam.) Very nice professor, too. If you have a question, he will definitely answer it.I got an A, so can you. Take him. curved class.
first of all he is HOT!! anyways, attend class, study notes... he did allow notecards... its a typical math class... the best way to talk to him was to go during office hours.... but yeah. i would take him again.
He's a pretty straight forward professor, show up to lecture, take notes, read and study, just like any other college class. Tests are pretty straight forward and he allows a note card during the test which is pretty cool. TI84 is a must, you can't pass 140 without one.
Took this his class Spring'11 and had such a hard time understanding the material. Thank God I took stats in high school if not I probably would have failed. I ended up with a C in his class and was so excited because I thought I did terrible. I rarely went to class and just told my friend to sign me in.
Terribe class!!! DO NOT TAKE WITH HIM!!i did everything dn studied and it was zoo hard no ones passed
Prof. Abrego is definitely one of the best math teacher's I've had to date. He explains everything so clearly that as long as you take notes and do the homework, you shouldn't even need to study much. Unfortunately, a lot of people did poorly in my class as they were never paying attention or taking notes, but that should not reflect his teaching.
He is knowledgable professor who speaks clearly (with an endearing accent) and is invested in his students' success. Show up to class, do the homework, and study hard and I guarantee you'll succeed. I am no math genius, but finding out I got in A in this class made all the hard work worth it!
It may be that I hate math but this professor is very hard to understand and expects way too much from a 140 level course. There is a lot of hw and the tests are structured totally different from anything we did in the hw or practice tests. I would not recommend him especially if there is another option.
Prof Abrego is amazing!! I am TERRIBLE at math and I made it out of this class! He knows his stuff and presents it so clear and precise. Best math teacher I have ever had...I would take him again!
He is a great Professor! If you go to class and pay attention, and study for his exams, you will get an A. Slackers will fail.
If you want to slack off, then this isn't the class for you. He's clear most of the time, and the times that he isn't he's more than happy to explain. Pay attention, study, go to class, and do the homework is mandatory to pass his class. But, it isn't as boring as it seems. He's cool. Take him!
Not an easy class. You're going to have to work for your grade. Grades based on attendance, hw assignments, and three exams. Final is optional. Going to class is must in order to understand the material. Stats was not an easy subject.
He isnt very clear, just talks and is super boring. you have to pay attention to his lecture because the book doesnt help. all homework is online so just buy the wileyplus, and dont bother with the book. Grade is based on 3 tests, homework, and attendence, but he lets you use a 3x5 card as a cheat sheet. final is optional. ok teacher
NOT AN EASY CLASS, BUT ATTEND CLASS EVERYDAY, TAKE NOTES, DUE HOMEWORK, GET AT LEAST A C ON THE THREE TEST AND YOU WILL PASS THE CLASS!! I GOT AN A! GOOD LUCK
Abrego is a good teacher. Although the class is difficult, it is not his fault, its just the way the class is. You must attend to lectures, read, and do the homework. A lot of personal effort is required. He is a good professor. Just make sure to study prior to tests and you will be all right. You will pass if you study.
Lectures are interesting and Prof. Abrego explains calculus very well. If you do web-homework and problems from the book you should be fine in the class. Attendance is mandatory.
Good teacher. Lectures are clear. Leaves very little to interpretation. Did not study for the first test and got a bad grade (duh), but worked hard and pulled off the A.
I literally saw him during every office hour getting extra help on math problems. He explained the material very well, and never judged me for getting so much additional help. Calc II is an extremely hard class and he really does a great job at explaining the nature of the problems. It is obvious he loves to teach and loves math. Great teacher
He is very nice his exams aren't to hard. He really enjoys teaching. I didn't like his lectures much because he would basically just use the examples from the book and lecture that. but if you study you'll be fine for his exams and the final. I would most definitely take him again.
He did not finish grading our midterms until the semester ended. We had no idea what to expect. He left the last week of class and had a sub give us the final. He was overly harsh with his grading and gave zero feedback. Horrible. Avoid taking if you want a teacher who actually cares.
he is one of the best calculus professor that i ever know ! he answer every question and his midterm is very easy . if you have trouble understand math, just take his class
One of the best professors who can explain calc 2 and make it easy, obviously he loves the subject. Explains every little detail with a proof ( and that is a good thing). Exams are easy. Highly recommended to take for calc 2. Just show up and do the homework and you will understand the subject.
He's fine in lecture but his tests and quizzes are Hw problems so you basically have to memorize it all. There were only 2 tests and the final. The first test covered 4 chapters and the second covered 5. So it's a huge amount of material to know. If you go to his office to ask questions, he makes you feel stupid for not knowing something.
Amazing professor. Made Calculus 1 way easier than I expected it to be. I like that he gives time to show us the proofs (although it's not tested). Helps you understand the material intuitively and visually, not just memorize formulas. 3 exams, no midterm, 1 final. I found the exams harder than the final. Will take him again!
If you're being taught math by Dr. Abrego, then consider yourself fortunate. His passion toward the subject is contagious. Calc 2 is more material heavy than complicated. He helped most student accept that fact and figure out away to deal with it on our own ways. "A" formula: Work hard and show it to him, participate, participate, participate.
Great teaching skills, really knows how to portray the material to my specific learning requirements. Definitely understands students and how they learn.
A very nice professor who is clearly passionate about Maths. He knows everything there is to know about what he is teaching you and rarely makes a mistake. Everything is described in detail with little bits here and there from the textbook, which is rarely used in the classroom, although you may need it for review or for the online homeworks.
Perfect professor for those who haven't taken Calculus at all. Definitely recommend!
Perfect professor for those who have never taken a Calculus course.
Took him for Calculus I and decided to take him for Calculus II for a reason. Only about 1/4 of the class is difficult, the rest is a breeze! Just show up to class, pay attention, and do the online homework and yo should be prepared for the exams.
I took this professor for math150 and I thought he would be the same. He's a great professor for 100 level classes, but he's terrible at higher levels of math. He doesn't explain things clearly and very unorganized.
He is a mediocre professor. Not great but not horrible. However, one thing I will say is that he lectures so incredibly fast that I got lost at one point and seldom took notes since then. Thankfully he posts the lecture notes after class so you can look back on them. His exams were pretty fair and resembled the homework that he assigned.
Class is difficult, which explains why he rushed through each concept during lectures. After the first couple of weeks of lectures, he explained concepts too fast, which caused me to stop paying attention during lectures. He posts the lecture notes on Canvas, which makes up for the rushes lectures. Exams are fair and enough time is provided.
He doesn't respond to my question in the mail. If you want a good grade, don't recommend taking his class. He won't curve our grades.
I would not recommend this professor to anyone. In order to pass you must be willing to dedicate at least 2 hours a day to simply keep up.
Avoid at all costs unless you are a genius in Math. He's not approachable at all. I was warned by many about not taking him, but I didn't have a choice and I regret it a lot. You have been warned.
Really bad professor. The class was curved although the curve scale was not the class syllabus. Would not recommend my worst enemy to take this class.
The average for his tests were 60-40%, he blames his students instead of realizing that his teaching is why we fail. 4 Tests, all worth 15% with the Final worth 30%. For each test, he finishes the material two days before the test and expects us to study till the last moment. I would not recommend anyone to take this professor for Math 150A.
cool dude
I honestly don't know why his reviews are so low. He's a good math teacher. He goes through all the steps and answers questions. You do have to put in the extra work and study for the tests, but as long as know how to do the problems on the study guide you'll be fine.
This professor is hard to communicate with and is not accessible when needed. Although he has office hours, he rushes conversations and would not take time to listen to the student's needs. He lacks interactive activities and lessons, moves on to the next subject without gauging student understanding, and lacks compassion and empathy for students.
Great professor who explains concepts well. Lectures are worth attending. Textbook is rarely used, but unstuck AI helped with exam prep. Overall, a manageable class with fair assessments.
Great professor amazing class!
Great teacher that loves the subject he's teaching and cares about his students. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
This is the worst math professor I have ever taken. He goes through chapters very fast, and does not give students enough time to even grasp the material just learned. Study guides are not similar to the exams given by one bit. He will tell the class to focus on certain parts of the study guide, then proceed to not have any of that on the exam.
I LOVE Dr. Bernardo Abrego's teaching style. He is very enthusiastic and sometimes a little silly. Overall, he's a pretty chill guy. Like that one meme of "chill guy". I think that is of great resemblance of Dr. Abrego's character and smarts. This guy.... has got some brains!
Honestly a good teacher, he loves what he does. Super chill.
