he's alright.
Great teacher! Very nice and easygoing. Gives up to 20 extra points on every test if you finish labs and review sheets on time. Math labs are about 15 problems whereas other teachers give up to 36.
he is a good teacher, he gives quizes every week n you have to do the homework or he will fail you!!
He is an ok Teacher. I guess
Mr. Gabi is a good teacher, a bit persistent, but an overall good teacher. He gives a lot of extra bonus points on tests providing you do all the MyMathLab and test reviews. Don't be afraid to speak up or do problems on the board, you get points there too!
i love math. but.. he's not so great. wouldn't recommend taking him if you're not that good at math.
this guy is not only difficult to understand but makes you feel like an idiot when you question him. He made my dislike for having to take algebra an absolute disgust. Hate him.
Well what can i say he is okay...read the book he teaches right off it so GET your READING on. Took him over the summer and those were the longest 5 weeks ever but i got a B so thats good just do the take home quizzes and have a notebook and you will be okay... well thats what i did and passed the class. Good Luck if you take him :)
He is not a good online teacher he is no help at all. Never will take him again. Asked him a question regarding my grade never responded back.Weird vibe even from email.
I took Mr. Gabi over the summer that was the first mistake. DO NOT TAKE HIM IN THE SUMMER!! He is hard to understand (Language) If you ask a question he look at you crazy or like you are dumb... He gives a lot of quizes... Gives tones of HOMEWORK... I do not recommend taking him if you are not so good in math. I did all work and got a C...
Likes to give homework and laugh at how much he gives you. Teaches but still feels like you have a lot to teach yourself. Also expects you to use the mymathlab.
Hey he is not so bad you just basically teach yourself I took him online what else do you expect from online?? But hey I got a B so I thought myself good right??? so he did a good job calculating my grade so good job teacher!!!
i took this class for a mini semeter. he was pretty clear but if you dont have a nice foundation in math i highly recommend you not take him for a mini semester. he used math lab (easy) and used graphs as quizzes (easy). i got an A in the class cuz i took it in high school but he's a nice funny guy. very sociable but dont interrupt
Capable of teaching, was good at explaining specifics to me when I had questions. Lots of homework but he mostly used the MyMathLab. as long as you do the online stuff and show up to class, he's pretty easy; he doesn't want to work all that hard, either.
Mr. Gabi is a great teacher. I took his class online and all the assignments are posted and you have numerous attempts at passing each assignment with 100. I believe I really learned the math laws by taking this course on line and I recommend it to anyone who struggles with math to take this course on line. I received a B even thought I missed a
THE PROFESSOR GIVES TO MUCH HOMEWORK TO FINISH IN SUCH A LIMITED OF TIME. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I LEARNED A LOT FROM THE WORK I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE.
he is easy but sometimes tardy to class so dont leave he is coming
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS.. HE CHANGES WHAT HE SAYS EVERYDAY ABOUT,IF YOU ASK A QUESTION HE MAKES U FEEL STUPID,AND HE HAS NO PATIENCE. HE SPOT GRADES HOME WORK ONLY GRADING 5 QUESTIONS OUT OF 25 QUESTIONS. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEMESTER HE WILL TELL YOU HE TOLD TO INCLUDE SOMETHING IN YOUR WORKBOOK WHEN HE DIDN'T.
At first he can seem really rude and hard and it is kind of hard to understand him with his thick african accent but at the end, he is alright. You just have to participate when its time to go to the board and do some problems, if he cracks jokes at you you might not even understand it, crack them back at him and you will get along. Easy man.
I took it online , does not even post grades. Depends too much on mymathlab.if you want to be in your own take this class.
He is a easy and great teacher we used the textbook so little but used alot more the my math lab.
I found him extremely hard. He teaches from the book. If you understand the book, then you'll understand him. He doesn't mind offering assistance if asked.
I took him for Math 0306 and 0308 and now for 0312. He is an awesome teacher. I love his class. I would definitely recommend him!
He uses the book a lot and the test from what he explains is a whole different thing
Easy class. Professor explains material well but does not answer questions. He'll just tell you to read the book! The book is strongly needed. Besides that, easy course. Study the reviews and do all if any extra credit. Overall, easy class if you put in time and effort.
Math is not supposed to be an easy subject for those of us who do not possess strong Math skills. ButI worked very hard in this class,studied to 2am to keep up then for him to say 'you guys don't belong in this class. for not understanding. I would recommend you take this class with him ONLY if you can do it WITHOUT a teacher's assistance.
Very helpful teacher! Gives lots of homework but it is all worth it. All tests and quizzes and very comprehensive. And he is always willing to help!
Took Gabi for Math 0308 and 0312. Taking him again for 1314. Gives plenty of extra credit. He comes in on the weekends as well. Made A's in both classes.
I do not recommend this class to anyone taking statistics he does not teach. The whole semester you are stuck teaching your self. The homework is all on my math lab and he gives you a certain time to finish and also is a lot to do. I passed this class but it was very stressing because you learn everything on your own. Good luck!
i would not recommend you taking him he doesn't teach you anything everything is mathlab and your teaching yourself. don't ask question he will not help you. the entire class time he would explain 4 problems on board that's it then tell us to work on mathlab. after 6 weeks he decided to pull down the projector screen for 10 minutes .
This guy is so freaking strict, If you're not willing to dedicate a lot of your personal time, DO NOT TAKE HIM!
Horrible!! The textbook and the HW were all different from the in class PPT so you had to learn how to do problems over again in a new way. He is very unorganized and kept putting off our tests causing us to fall behind. The tests are nothing like the PPT or the HW! He is rude and doesnt respond to emails. He barely teaches, you need the textbook.
The Professor is HORRIBLE, he doesn't answer your direct questions for help he says read the book or google it or look at the powerpoints which still doesn't help. Online Homework does not match what he teaches. Must complete all homework before test and homework must have 80 or higher to even take the test. Doesn't fully explain problems as well.
This semester they started experimenting with connectmath. worst homework sight ever. It constantly froze on me and at times would kick me out when I was almost done with a section. He required that we have sections done before a test. If you didn't, he would kick you out and return when they were all done. Its like taking online classes
After a mnth of attending the 2015 Fall S I have learned entirely on my own with the help of the mandatory online hmk I can agree with all of the pre entries, that this pro is not willing to help He continuously says if you don't understand review the text google your problem The class was not allowed to test due to incompleted hmwk
Gabi, when asked for help, helped me a lot. Its a hybrid course, so of course its all online. But if you go to class, write problems on the board you don't understand he will walk you through all of it. I had Ds all through high school in math, Gabi is the first teacher to ever get through to me. But you have to do the work.
He is horrible. If you care about your GPA do not take this man. He called me on my cell phone when I reported him to the Math chair. He is not helpful and admits Math should not be taken online. For that reason he tries to make the students suffer. You have been warned!!!!!!
Worst ever!!! No help at all!!
he's a very good teacher I'm just a slow learner.
Willing to explain and discuss concepts. Be willing to do homework ahead of time and you will thoroughly enjoy this class. Easy A.
Mr. Gabi believes all student can learn Algebra and I did once I got past the fear. He solicits and answers questions. Easy A.
Prof Gabi believes in homework and that we can all learn Mathematics if we try. He is fair and has high expectations of his students. easy A if you get your homework done with understanding.
Excellent teacher , ready to answer questions and explain problems. Very patient with students and expects you learn mathematics. Takes homework seriously.
Good instructor who assists in every possible way. Very accessible and will answer emails even during weekends. Easy A if you do your homework.
Mr. Gabi wants his students to understand mathematics and encourages students to ask questions and participates in class. Do your homework and you will be fine
He was pretty kind, and always made sure we were prepared before test.
Amazing teacher, one of the best teachers I've had from HCC. He will assist you in every way possible. Do not pass up the chance to take this professor if you do, you will regret it.
Very good teacher. His test were not as hard as I thought they would be. The Practice Tests really helped get A's on his tests. Overall I think his class was great.
I have struggled with math my entire life and have dropped it like four times! This is the last class that I needed to finish my lower level classes to finish my degree at UHV, and I got an A! This professor is awesome! Do the homework and you'll get an easy A! His tests and final exam are the reviews so memorize them! Take him people!
His lectures are very clear, he makes sure students understand, and there's a lot of homework.
Really good teacher , he makes sure the class understands . You must complete the homework assigned before taking a test so make sure you do or else you won't be able to take it . Makes class fun
Take him! I took him for an online course and He requires a lot of homework but he gives you all the time in the world to complete. Do your homework and PAY ATTENTION to the material he provides and you will do just fine!!! Easy A! He responds to every email, and is very clear on what to expect in the course! Trust me, he wont let you down!
I don't know who these ratings below are about but Mr. Gabi is NOT A GOOD TEACHER!!! he does not teach he sends you home to do loads of homework in impossible deadlines. So basically you are self teaching. If you don't need help in math I guess this would be the class for you. For people that need assistance you will not get it here.
He gives too much hw and you have to have an 80+ to take the test (completed hw). You pretty much teach yourself. You do not know your exact grade until the end. connect math grade IS NOT your grade for the class. I completed all my hw with 85-100s and still did not get the info and failed tests (result-failed course). He is a nice guy, badteacher
Gabi is a helpful professor but hes also about getting work done. If you plan on only showing up for test or not doing your homework don't think that you will pass. All the homework is online and you just need to make sure you get it all done on time because he doesn't allow you to take a test unless the hw for that section is done. Not too hard.
Great teacher
All of the homework would be online its easy it gives you examples to help you. The test are a little harder than the homework but if you do the practice test online you would be fine. You do not necessarily need a hard covered book the online book is fine just print out the tables and formulas on the back.
All exams/finals are taken in class or in testing center. Depending on the classes vibe/ classmates he will choose to do multiple choice exams or open ended, but if you keep all the worksheets and take the time to do them you will pass the exams.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! I took his class online, but it was a mistake picking him. I had to drop. As I studied the power points with the book. His power points had the wrong answer on them!!! and he didn't mind to fix it. He is so lazy, does not contact back in time. Save your money go with someone else.
If you want to learn statistics, DO NOT take Charles Gabi. He is just a PowerPoint reader. If you ask him a question he will refer you to the textbook. But if you don't understand the teaching from the professor how can you understand the book. He doesn't make his explanations or example clear enough for you to understand. Worst I ever encountered
If you want an F or a D and not learn any material then just take this professor and you will achieve just that. The absolute worst. If there are any good remarks on his rating, trust me HE wrote them.
For me, he didn't help at all. He does have power points, but he believes that by him reading it you UNDERSTAND. He said if you don't understand talk to him after class. So, I did and nothing happen he basically said figure it out. I thought he was good at the beginning but NO. Don't fall for it.
You have to keep up with the hw to pass and get ready to do hw for over 50hrs. I did not like how unorganized his online class was - He stated in his syllabus that we would have 5pt extra credit opportunities for each test and we only had 1. You never knew what your grade for the class was and we never had access to any of the practice tests posted
Mr. Gabi is excellent at explaining material and concepts. IF you do your homework and use prep materials you will make an easy A.
Mr. Gabi breaks down Statistics to where anyone can understand it. You have to be prepared to do homework. You will learn Statistics in his class.
Math is not my strongest subject, but Prof. Gabi made math relatable and easier to understand. Prof. Gabi is a great teacher. His expectations are high, but he will give you the tools needed to be successful! He's passionate about teaching and it shows. His test are somewhat difficult, but if you study (he provides good reviews) you will pass.
Excellent professor
Worst professor Ever! Do not take him at all for any of the class. I took his class online, he never explained a single lesson, wants everyone to learn on mymathlab. Test Reviews are not helpful at all so please save your money and choose a good teacher. He is not reachable and never replies to a single email. WORST, WORST, WORST Professor ever!!
If you can, avoid taking this professor. I took this class online for the summer and it was horrible. He doesnt respond back to messages or engage in the class that much. He also changes dates on assignments randomly so beware of that.
REVIEWSareTEST, EXCEPT FOR FINAL. Syllabus is ONLY correct about when the test are. ALL HE DID was give us access to ConnectMath and open up the test. Site's great, its a lot of content & the questions there are similar to the test. Plus its all due on the same day, DOIT. I got the grade I had on the school website, making his grade breakdown wrong
terrible professor you have to make a 80 on each homework assignment on connect math or he will not let you take the test he is very lazy and he expects you to understand just because he understands the test is online the reveiws doesnt really help much if you take this class be prepared to self teach.
If you are thinking about taking this professor don't do it, he does not engage in the class. Its hard when you have to be guessing whats next he doesn't use the calendar for due dates, he gave us a review two days before the test. The first two weeks of the class we didn't hear from him.
I wish I could say something positive but I honestly have nothing. Took forever to respond to emails. Nothing was clear in the syllabus or provided any kind of feedback when questions were asked. A project was pulled out of the blue the last week of class. I would recommend you find a different professor.
I NEVER rate a professor, but I will today. This professor is terrible. There is no organization and last minute assignments are going to happen. He did not even take the time to update any dates on canvas and his syllabus. The syllabus was out of date. You had to wait for him to post when something was due. Will never take him again!
Gabi is a really unorganized professor. He does not update the due dates on canvas and the ones in the syllabus are wrong. He gave one last assignment without informing us and since it was not under the "assignments" there was no notification for it. The review for the final is NOT at all like the exam, so good luck on knowing what to study.
For your own sake, DO NOT TAKE HIM. Does NOT EVER responds to emails. He only cares about his teacher feedbacks. 4 Tests, the second one was on campus, final exam was just nothing like the review. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! It may seem a lot but it really helps. And lastly, if you take him, good luck y'all.
I loved professor Gabi! It was a hard class if you didnt pay attention and TRY! As long as youre trying he WILL work with you. You do have to make an 80 or above on homework in connect math in order to test but youll appreciate that at the end of the course. #this class is not for slackers
I got my grade because of beyond hard work, I taught myself basically. If you're really good at math, this is not the class for you RUN! you will feel confused and lost. If math isn't your favorite subject and you have no other option, advice from me take the course next semester with other options. I feel bad but I have warn you for the GPA's sake
This was the worst professor I have ever had. Be prepared to teach yourself the material and do lots of hw. He thinks just by giving us PowerPoints we will automatically understand. He never replies to emails and doesnt even bother changing the dates on canvas. If you can avoid him, please do. If you have no choice but to take him, good luck!
I dropped his class, so this may be innacurate for the whole year. The HW is mostly videos that do nothing to help you learn, while also having innacurate due dates. His lessons involve him not helping anyone, while also getting upset because he doesn't know how to use MS paint properly, and is using his mouse to draw the problems. Not worth it
This professor gives you a surprise project 3 days before it's due. It's not even part of math, you have to provide a 10 min video of you teaching a classroom by using the government based lesson plan. This is not even included in the syllabus.
Professor Gabi was great! He really cares about his students succeeding in the course. There was a lot of home work, quizzes and test. This is a math course and the only way to learn the material is to practice! He was always available and willing to help! I recommend this class to anyone willing to put practice and study time to get a good grade.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER !!!! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. I emailed him because my whole family had covid to give me a day to finish a test. Ignored my email and failed me. This is my 2nd time taking him and he failed me. I took another professor and got an A. He doesnt care! Also very rude . Does not deserve to be an educator!
WOULDN'T RECCOMEND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN WELL HAS LITTLE PATIENCE
Professor Gabi cares about the success of his students. The ratings on here had me nervous about taking his class but Im glad I did. Ive taken statistics once before and I learned a lot in his class. Hes willing to help you and stay after class if youre struggling. He knows his stuff.
A tip if you want to pass ... DO YOUR HOMEWORK, if not, you will NOT be able to do the exam, you have unlimited attempts at your homework and you can do 100% of each module, the following advice is: Study at least one hour a day,read the Connect Math book and if you have questions, contact him, he is very kind to help you, you can stay after class.
Professor Gabi is extremely nice. He really does care about his students and their success. Overall he is a good professor, but the final exam did not match the course material which is why he didnt receive a higher rating.
Was very nervous going into this class but ended up doing well. Prof Gabi mostly read off his powerpoint. Get ready to be picked on to read and answer questions. Homework, tests, and quizzes were easy. Use the final review for the final; it's very helpful. He is very nice and offers to help you after class. Would take again!
Not a great professor. He expects students to ask questions, but then gets upset when one doesn't understand the subject and asks questions about it. Blames it on the student for "not studying or doing the homework" even though it would be on an entirely new subject. Not a great lecturer.
His exams are not that hard, but the final was a bit challenging. The only red flags he has is that he does NOT respond to emails best way to contact him his by calling his # and he's also very unorganized. It takes a while to get used to the way he wants you to do things, but overall easy if you do the hmw and do the weekly discussion and quiz's.
His mom is bad but I wouldn't take his class again to see her. He was a great teacher though.
Charles Gabi, a professor of MATH1314 at Houston Community College, is undeniably an exceptional math professor, an intellectual, and a hilarious individual. His unique combination of teaching expertise, intellectual prowess, and a great sense of humor make him stand out as one of the greatest math professors to exist. First and foremost, Professo
I noticed that after a test was taken and i already knew my score and it was recorded he would change the scores after a while to bring my score down, he is indecisive and easily changes his mind towards our score Homeworks and quizzes weren't hard and I like how challenging and twisted the questions were. He lied about EXTRA CREDIT. ABORT MISSION.
Something really easy, he gonna make it really difficult. Be ready to get even more confused in math. As a person he is really good but as professor I give him 3/5
the math class i took 0332 is conjoined to 1332. gabi doesn't listen to what we have to say, always gives us quizzes because we are confused during class! every test we are supposed to take, is supposed to be the same day for our other test. Gabi said, " i don't care you knew about this"!!!!!! like everyone in the class struggled.!
I am currently taking this class, he makes things very difficult and he can be very rude. Ive never struggled this much in a math class.
Class was hard and he hardly replies email.
If you don't finish required homework on time you will not be able to take the ch. test. If you don't participate in class you will be marked absent, Be prepared to teach yourself, If you have questions they have to be relevant enough to get a response If you need help his only advise is to go back and read the ch. it's definitely language barrier.
Easy course but have to take time to learn by myself.
He dominates the subject, great mathematician, good teacher. He cares for his students and will help you to grasps the concepts. He is also kind of lazy and takes a lot of breaks during class, basically you have to be pushing him to teach you.
This was by far the worse class and it is because of the professor. He teaches you one thing and tests you on the opposite. Do not expect help from him, all he will say is to "go find tutoring." He is very unhelpful. If you dont understand he will get upset and fail you. All of my homework was a 100 and he still failed me with a 55. Worst ever.
He was awful. He never posted any announcements on Canvas, he graded an assignment and never responded when I asked a question. The class itself wasn't bad but I had to teach myself everything because he never posted a lecture or offered any help or easy ways to get in touch with him.
He makes you fail. He made us take a quiz on a chapter he failed to cover. He doesn't know how to spell and yelled at us for not helping him spell " Los Angeles." When he literally never helps us and tells us he doesn't care that we're struggling and to "pay better attention next time." How can we when he's forgetting chapters?
elem stat, dont take his class, half the class dropped because he's very disorganized. He makes you buy the acess code after the free trial of pearson ends. Does not reply to emails, canvas assignments were mixed with some from last year. It'd be a miracle if i pass this class.
elem stat, dont take this guy ever. very disorganized class with canvas assignments mixed with other classes with no due date like what? Makes you pay for pearson after the trial period ends. Will not respond to important emails at all. Half my class dropped because he couldnt make heads or tails what was going on in his class. Worst prof in hcc.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is not organized at all which makes everything confusing.
If you want to pass do not take this professor he does not answer emails nor calls, he doesn't help in anyway form or fashion, ho doesn't teach, you are actually on your own me the whole class did not like this professor, I don't know why and or how he is still teaching, worse professor ever.
Overall take him
Professor Gabi is knowledgeable and helpful, but can be a bit unorganized. Attend class, do the homework, and use unstuck study - it really helps with study prep.
I repeat do not take this course with this professor. It is so hard to understand him and he is very unprofessional. I would not recommend this class with this professor.
Professor was very hard to communicate with and extremely disorganized. We had assignment due dates unavailable and we weren't able to make them up. I have never been so disappointed in a professor before but this was ridiculous. I would not recommend this class, at all.
Crammed us students with assignments the week before class ends. Chap 8,9 and 10, PLUS assignments he added. Stressful. Learned in the beginning then went downhill. Tough grader, you take a test once and if its a bad grade, U ARE COOKED. Can be a good professor if he were more patient and extented grace to students
Most STRESSFUL class experience ever! Professor Gabi was rude and inpatient towards us students on multiple occasions but always said, "Don't be afraid to ask questions!" He was reluctant to extend us grace when we didn't understand topics, and was VERY unorganized with the course. Didn't explain topics well, so you basically self teach. Avoid!
Just take that W or swap immediately. I was bamboozled into taking his class, I chose another professor, but they changed to him last minute. He's extremely unorganized and frustrating, don't do it ya'll.
10/10 would NOT recommend. He usually says don't be afraid to ask for help, yet when you do, he seems to get irritated and makes you question why you don't understand. Be ready to do assignments in every class, and have lots of miscommunication and misunderstandings too. He's rude, inconsistent and not what you look for in a college professor.
Very unorganized course. Assignment instructions and due dates were changed last minute, communication was poor and never response. Minimal instruction was provided, so we teach ourselves. I would NOT recommend this class, protect your GPA and avoid unnecessary stress. He is by far the worst professor EVER!
You need to teach yourself, this was a true online self-taught kinda class. he provided what you would need to take the test (homeworks, summarized class notes, TI 84 instructions). He could be a bit disorganized (post late modules, discussions, etc) but his tests arent hard. Tbh, the only way for you to fail is not doing your works and read mats.
