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.

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.

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.

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!
