Extremely helpful and approachable teacher. Held extra review sessions every week. Made math interesting and fun for most people in the class.

Teacher is okay. There are better teachers and a lot worse. Take a lot of notes that are very useful but grades hw pretty tough. However, hw is only worth about 5% of your overall grade. Class average is low, but not many intelligent students in class. If you study and work hard, you can get a B. Tests and final are what matter.

Had him for Calc2, one of the better teachers i have had at the U of A. explains things very clearly and throws jokes in every once in a while to keep it interesting. very helpful and always available for extra help. highly recommended. i got a high B with an 86 on the final

He is a fairly nice and keeps math somewhat interesting, however he is a tough grader and his tests are challenging. I'm sure there are worse teachers, but expect to work hard in this class if you want a good grade.

He is a nice guy and actually makes math somewhat interesting, but he's a very tough grader and his tests don't always correspond to the HW. I didn't work very hard, but should have got a much better grade.

Currently just finished a semester with him. First I'd like to say that the math department is pretty weak at the UA, small number of amazing math teachers. Due to this fact I'd say that Chris would be at the top of the pact. He's not amazing, pretty difficult, but most (like 75%) are more difficult. Learned a lot & glad I stayed in the class.

I had him & was optimistic. As a teacher he's a bit sarcastic, but very funny! I went to office hours a lot & he was very helpful. I worked very hard & still got a D b/c there wasn't enough time on the exams. Even so, I learned more than I expected to. Don't take it if you just want 3 credits. You'll learn a lot, but your GPA might suffer for it.

He's pretty tough. If you get on his good side, he is fun and easy to go to for help.

Had him for calc 1.Jewell makes examples in class very difficult, which made it so I understood the material very well. He teaches conceptuals very effectively. He is a sarcastic d*ouche, but he is an awesome teacher. One of the best at UA. His class is very difficult, but he will work with you if you have trouble. Hard class, but well worth taking

I thought he was a great professor. I'm normally a person that thinks math is difficult, but I felt like he knew what he was talking about. He explained stuff well, and he wasn't boooring. I don't think this class was as hard as everyone says it was.

A nice guy! He is very funny! If you want to receive a good grade, just attend the class and do the written homework.

He's a really cool guy who cares about his students. If you actually show up to class, do the homework and review before tests, you can do fine. He is a little immature at times but he is friendly and wants you to succeed. By far the best choice of teacher for Vector Calculus.

By far the best Vector Calc teacher. He makes sure to explain things clearly in class and does many examples in class. His homework can be tricky but you can always go to office hours. If you study hard and to the HW the tests are doable. If you really want to understand Vector calc Definitely take Jewell.

I thought he was a very enthusiastic teacher and clearly taught the subject matter. If you are willing to attend class and put effort, you should do well. He is also very helpful outside of class.

Taking vector calculus with him over the summer was well worth it. I was GROing the class and he explained vector much better the second time around. The pace was rather fast, but he did a good job keeping everyone with the material. I would recommend him to anyone. His tests are challenging, but study and you are okay. Know T/F questions too.

Explains material well, and is extremely helpful outside of class. Is super sarcastic, and isn't afraid to call students out on their stuff, which I find great. His tests are harder than the midterm and final, so if you do well on those you'll be fine.

This is a tough class to understand conceptually but he does a good job at helping you visualize everything. He keeps class entertaining and fun which is hard to find in a math teacher

I took the online winter section of MATH 111. There wasn't much interaction with the teacher, but what there was went fine. The class itself is basically reading the textbook, doing homework, and going to campus twice to take exams. If you want to get trig out of the way quickly and are capable of learning math out of a book, you'll be satisfied.

This instructor explain the problem very well, help us imagine the images in 3D, and it is fun in class. In his class, only 85% , you can get an A. I think the tests is not hard, just go to the class and understand what he talking about, and do the homework, we can get a good grade. If you need take MATH 223, I sincerely recommend this professor.

By far the best math teacher I've had at UofA. Yes, the tests are difficult and effort is required, but he actually corrects your homework when he grades it so you can redo it to study. He is very helpful in trying to visualize what is happening in 3D, which makes all the difference for the material at the end of the class. Highly recommend.

Chris Jewell is an excellent instructor. He's mildly odd and a bit eccentric, but if you can appreciate or overlook the personality quarks, he makes for an excellent instructor. His assignments and tests are difficult, but if you attend his lectures and his office hours, you have to try to fail his class. Would recommend him definitely.

So here's the thing about this guy: he's got a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor and if you don't get it you might be offended. But as a teacher he knows what he's talking about and often tries to make sure everyone understands. He always gives study guides for his tests--there were only three--and usually provides extra office hours.

As long as you aren't easily offended and can deal with his sarcasmhumor, then I recommend his class. He explains concepts well but, if you need help, he has office hours several times a week and can also make time for you (just don't ask anything too stupid). He grades homework by syntax, so be sure to read the syllabus. Good class overall.

Prof. Jewell is great at explaining concepts while working through examples on the board. Tests and homework are straight forward and easy. He is helpful during office hours. During lectures he can be really arrogant and condescending. He singles out students and makes them feel stupid when they ask questions or for clarification.

Professor Jewell is a great teacher, his lectures are very clear and helpful. His tests are not hard if you put in any effort toward studying, I always studied the night before and did well. There are times where you have homework due everyday of the week but for the most part there isn't much homework and its always short 3-4 question assignments.

Calculus explained easily in this course. When I took this course it was explained in a way that I understood and the big concepts were made simple. Jewell will often compare the new problems to simple, elementary math problems. If you are out of line, he WILL let you know. Jewell will joke around and have fun with students. No calculators on tests

I really liked having Professor Jewell, despite the fast nature of Math 122A, I thought he did a great job of explaining each of the topics in a way that made them easy to understand and easy to remember. Professor Jewell's teaching style made Math 122A significantly less intimidating.

Don't let the past reviews scare you. This is one of the best teachers/lecturers in the math department at UA. I will say there's tough grading, sometimes a bit too tough, and sometimes this professor can get a bit agitated with the class. However, he very clearly explains the complex subject of vector calculus. Also, it is clear that he cares.

He is sarcastic and sometimes it can seem offensive, but he actually cares a lot about helping students understand calculus. I would highly recommend this professor if you have genuine interest in mathematics, or you actually try to understand the material. He's always helpful and explains things multiple ways to ensure that students understand.

I had a different math teacher for the first half of the semester, then was given Jewell. In comparison to the other teacher, he was amazing. He gives homework that is extremely relevant to his tests, and is willing to work with you in office hours. Seems to really care about his students--however, can a bit mean if someone isn't getting it.

I see why some might find him rude, but the guy has a good heart beneath that arrogant appearance. His exams are fair, and he teaches so well. His really talented in that regard. If you're offended easily, don't take his class. If you are not, go ahead, you won't regret it.

Jewell is a really good guy, pretty funny, and pretty enjoyable. If you are sensitive you might steer clear, but he's got a decent sense of humour. Plus, he is really talented at explaining the material. I mean f*cking gifted, you really can just show up to class, do a bit of homework and make it out with a B, and a good understanding.

A double-edged sword of a professor. Very experienced & teaches every concept in an intuitive way and is aware of how new the material is. Goes through examples of the same caliber as test questions, so there aren't any surprises. Extremely sarcastic, which I found amusing and engaging... but if you're easily offended find another prof. 4-6 HW/wk.

Professor Jewell is one of the best math professors I have ever had. He explains difficult concepts in such an easy to understand manner, and truly cares about your success in his class. He is always available for office hours, and makes you want to go to class just to hear his jokes. If you study and do the homework, you will do well in this class

Sarcastic and amusing professors. Lectures are excellent and often feel intuitive (of course that works why didn't I think of that!). Homework will prepare you well for the tests and will be graded with solid feedback. Additionally, the shared final exam is an absolute breeze because his HW and exams were more difficult and prepare you very well.
