Great! Young and energetic, Brooklyn accent. Wants to help out after class as much as you could hope for. There for the students 100% Prepare for class and it will be a breeze.
Ladies, he is one hot professor, and very smart too. It’s to bad we can’t date our professors, I would sure make a move on him if I could, even though I know he won’t have that, but a girl can dream can’t she. He is just the best, always willing to help and be there for all students whenever he can. If you have to take general chemistry, take it
I absolutely love this guy. He's a great professor. He's always willing to help a student, explains things very well, and is easy on the eyes. I had him for General Chemistry I lab and was very excited to sign up for General Chemistry II with him.
Challenges student but is always willing to give extra help. Exceptional professor.
He’s my favorite professor! Brilliant, young, always willing to help. He explains concepts extremely well. The best thing about him, is he is down to earth, very easily approachable.
This is the second time I've had Jaber, and I still love the guy. Jaber is the man! Teaching is his life and he loves it. He goes above and beyond to help a student learn and succeed. If you have to take Chemistry, take it with him =)
Very good professor, easy grader, tons of extra credit. Knows he is a good professor and that he is smarter than the average human and is extremely arrogant. But if you pay attention in class you will definitely pass.

Dr. Jaber is a really good teacher i recomend you take him. If your not into chemistry and you just need to take it as a requirement take him he will make you love the course hes fun guy he makes you enjoy while learning =)
Dr. Jaber is THE BEST teacher I have ever had in my life! BUT... chemistry is not an easy subject, you will have to put a lot of effort in order to get good grades...
The best professor in the college. Oh so HOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, he is the BEST TEACHER in the college! I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. I actually switched majors because of him and I am looking forward to taking PChem with him. He has an amazing way of explaining concepts, I really never needed the text book. The BEST TEACHER IN THE COLLEGE BY FAR!!!!
I love Dr. Jaber. He is so helpful and caring, he wants you to learn. He goes above the call of duty and will always put a smile on your face. I wish he taught other chemistry courses other than what he does now. He is the best.
The best professor in the college, I agree. He does a great job explaining the materials. Even though I don?t love chemistry at all, I really enjoyed taking the course with him. If you have to take general chemistry, do yourself a favor and take general chemistry with him, you won?t regret it at all.
He is passionate about chemistry. I had him a year ago for CH 120 &CH 121, and now that I am in Organic I am doing great. He will make you work hard and you will learn the materials, but just be ready! He is a cool dude, he cares about his students.
Good professor but not outstanding. Comes off very arrogant but knows what he is teaching. He has a tendency to go fast but you still can catch on. He sometimes can make you laugh, which is a good thing because it keeps you alive. Overall you will learn and enjoy the class.
*edit* the class is chem120 for the last commment
He is just THE BEST!!!
He is the best ever @ WSC.
Just the BEST Professor ever. He is the best teacher I have ever had and has taught me more than I thought I could ever know.
dude is amazing
Amazing.
This Dude is the man. He really does care about us learning the materials and enjoying the class. He is probably the BEST Professor I have ever had. His use of technology and powerpoint is outstanding and other Professor should follow his lead. I absolutely love Dr. J.
Had him for Orgo, what a tough class over the summer. He was just awesome, very helpful and respectful of his students. Really cute to boot as well. To bad he is not teaching Orgo II, would have taking it with him if he was. Great professor
A total hottie!!!
Rock Star Professor, hot, smart and has a talent for teaching, what else can you ask for? I had him for CH 120/121 over the summer and was very luck to have him as a professor. He is just wonderful.
Dr. J knows his stuff! He can come off as a know it all, but I have to give it to him, he does know the subject matter inside and out. If u want learn chem, he is it.
Around for extra help, always. I LOVE HIM.
Having him for chemistry over the summer was great. Professional and down to earth.
Very rare to come across a professor with such enthusiasm for the subject matter, as well as, breadth of knowledge. He is a BIG NERD who loves chemistry! His stories about the history of chemistry make the subject fun, especially about Gibbs, who I think he would marry if he were a live today, lol!
Dr. Jaber has alot of enthusiasm for chemistry and made this class fun. We had a couple of tests, online quizzes, online hw, and short lab reports. Lecture attendance was not mandatory but lab was. He gave you the notes ahead of time for the lecture. You had to keep a notebook for lab. I never used the textbook!
Amazing Lecturer + State University Price = Happiness!
Dr. Jaber is an excellent professor! He is extremely enthusiastic and helpful always making sure his students are involved and doing well. He is great to go to for extra help or to talk about Gibbs :)
nice guy. know how to teach. know material well. love him so much. too bad that he wont teach orgarnic anymore, but he is the only one who teach Pchem. Have to take this class with him!
nice guy. know how to teach. know material well. love him so much. too bad that he wont teach organic anymore, but he is the only one who teach P chem. Have to take this class with him!
Awesome professor. Very nice and funny. Makes chemistry tolerable with his excitement for it.
I took him during the summer course to get credit for my other school and he's the best chemistry professor I ever had. He makes Chemistry really easy and likeable. I wish I could have him for more classes, but I don't go to Worcester State! :( Just do the work & talk to him! Having him is definitely a positive experience! He's so great+friendly!
He is so hot!
I wish I could take him for all my courses. I love him.
Dr. Jaber is the man!! He made chemistry interesting and defintely less complex.. he was able to relate the material to simpler methods, making the most difficult of concepts understandable!! He should be chair of the department!!
Dr. Jaber is by far the best professor at wsu so far for me. He is very clear in explaining the material and he makes sure that everyone in class understands it before he moves on. Tons of opportunities for extra credit and very approachable professor. Willing to help all his students when they need help. I would highly suggest taking this prof.
Dr. Jaber makes Chemistry come alive!!!!Great lecturer. To get an 'A' attend all the lectures and do the quizzes.
After taking Dr. Jaber this past summer, I would do it again in a heartbeat. One of the most clear, straightforward, and upbeat professors I have had. Not to mention one of the only science professors I have had that was not extremely arrogant. Life advice included in his class!
I loved the class, the professor explained everything in such a simple way, I couldn't help but digest everything. Not to mention he has absolute passion for his students. He would love to write recommendation for hard working students who are going grad/doctorate schools. Don't hesitate and apply his class ASAP!
I took both CHEM 120 & 121 over the summer with him. He made summer chemistry bearable because he gave clear notes, many opportunities for extra credit and was very specific on what was going to be on the test! I definitely would recommend if your looking for a good professor!
Amazing professor, very nice and willing to go the extra mile to help you out. I switched majors because of him :). Highly recommended!!!
Had him for the last 23 of the semester, but he was waaaaay better than my previous professor. He can be kinda annoying with the things he says, but def explains everything and makes sure everyone understands. Attendance isnt mandatory but its hard to get by without notes. ALWAYS chances for extra credit! Highly suggest Jaber!!
Dr. J is by far the best professor I've ever had. Took him for CH 121 as well. He gives so much extra credit opportunities, only 2 exams which reflect the review packet given before hand. Online quizzes after ever chapter but you have a week with unlimited attempts. He has plenty of office hours and is always willing to help.
Prof J is an excellent lecturer and educator, he really cares about his students and makes the material interesting and easier to grasp. He is very engaging and enthusiastic in class, I recommend Prof J to any future students who has to take chemistry and is also interested in learning the subject matter.
Dr. Jaber is the best professor I have taken. He will repeat himself so you can actually get the material in your head. The class is very easy even for the ones that are not good in Chemistry. He gives a review packet for every test and if you do it you will do good on the test as he gives points for trying. Also gives extra credit. He's Hot
Dr. J is the complete package! Smart, excellent lecturer, funny and extremely handsome and buff (a complete hottie)! He provides excellent feedback and makes sure not to continue with a topic until the entire class has understood. I like the family environment he creates in class. I will miss him once this semester ends :(
I took Dr. Jaber's class during the first summer session in 2014. He encouraged each small group "family" to teach each other and be there for one another. He loved to hear everyone's input, not just the same person repeatedly. His lectures were very insightful. He ultimately wrote me a med school rec letter. I will always be grateful for it.
Dr. Jaber is the most passionate, kind and intelligent professor I have had the pleasure of having in class. Not only does he thoroughly explain lectures, but is accessible during the whole day, whether it be email or a drop-in office visit. The material, and the semester was a breeze with him. He is warm, friendly and very inspirational.
As a freshman, I can tell that Jaber is a very experienced teacher. He assigns you small groups, or families, which really help! He always encourages his students to come to his office hours/PAL sessions. Many practice problems and extra credit are given during lecture. His online quizzes have unlimited attempts which are often taken for granted.
Professor Jaber is undoubtedly the best Chemistry professor I've ever had the privilege of working with. He makes learning fun. He covers a great deal of material, but the way he does it (sometimes he pretends students are molecules or atoms) is very entertaining. Also, charmingly self-deprecating. Good sense of humor, and closely follows text.
As long as you come to class and participate, youll get an A.
Honestly one of the best teachers I have had for a science course. He makes the class fun and he makes you actually want to show up and participate. Exams are easy as long as you do the practice/review problems. Guaranteed A if you put in the work. TAKE THIS CLASS
Best professor Ive ever taken . He tells you what is important to write while explaining stuff rather than just writing what you see on the board, he makes the class feel comfortable , and his labs are every easy and helpful. Would recommend him 100%
Everything was very clear. You put in the work and study and youll do just fine.
Dr. J is a very down to earth guy that wants all of his students to succeed. There is two exams and a final, having two exams leaves quite a bit of material between the second exam and the final but If you study you should be a okay. He has an open door policy which really helps. He makes lecture a good experience. I would highly recommend him.
Amazing professor! Take him if you get the chance.
Professor Jaber is the best professor I have ever experienced. He makes lectures go by so quick, and does his best to make sure each student has a good understanding of everything. Highly recommend.
Amazing professor that explains everything so well. Even in his labs he explains everything so no one is confused. He gives extra credit each exam that can boost the overall grade in the end. He shares some funny stories in some of his lectures and makes them fun. We don't have homework, just prelabs or a worksheet sometimes.
Dr. Jaber is a great professor. I had him for CH-120 and CH-121 and he was always very easy going and great at teaching the material. His lectures aren't too long so they don't get boring and he offers extra credit often if you pay attention to the lecture. He always explains things multiple times to get the point across and grades pretty fairly.
A lot to write down during lecture, but he records lectures so you can write down missing notes afterwards. He gives extra credit during lecture which is submitted the day of the next upcoming exam. He likes telling stories sometimes to get his point across. He wants his students to learn and he is good at explaining material and what to do in lab
Dr. J is an awesome professor, he cares about us learning. He explains things so well, that I didn't have to read the text. Super nice guy, fare grader. I learned so much in his courses.
Great professor, teaches it like he's talking to 5-year-olds so we can understand it all because it can get pretty intense. Almost everything on smart works is rarely covered in class with ending up spending hours to finish a quiz or exam that shouldn't even take that long. His labs are pretty cool but sometimes lab can run on lengthy.
Outstanding professor period. Always willing to help and is an awesome lecturer. Would take again in a heartbeat.
Dr. Jaber is one of the best professors you can find at WSU. He is a wonderful human and a great teacher! If you can take him please do it!
He is a great prof. Homework is optional, quizzes are open-book, and tests are easy if you put in the work. Lab reports are also doable. If you struggle with chem take his class- he breaks down concepts and makes them easy to understand. Two problems: he takes a long time to answer emails, and he seems to always be in a hurry. Otherwise, great.
I love Dr. Jaber! He's very engaging, ready to help, and available outside of class. Tests were announced on the syllabus, but pop quizzes would be given if not a lot of people showed up to class, so attendance is heavily emphasized. It's a very tough class so absences should be avoided if possible. He's very understanding if something comes up.
Awesome Professor, wants you to do well and goes over and beyond to make sure you successful in his course. Had him for a year of gen chem, learned a ton. Take his course!
Took him many years back, now in med school doing awesome! He wrote me a letter, will be forever grateful. Very caring professor with a good sense of humor. Amazing lectures and a very fare grader, will forever miss Dr. J.
Taking him now, super nice guy. He could probably teach chemistry to a monkey if he tried lol. Will take him in the Spring.
I am currently taking Gen Chem I and Dr. Jaber has been my favorite professor this semester! He genuinely cares about his students and takes the time to make sure students understand new material. He gives ALOT of extra-credit opportunities and reviews guides for exams (very helpful).
Love Dr. J, PCHEM with him was amazing.
Looking up professors for next semester and came by DR. Jaber to give me a positive review and saw the review below and had to laugh. He is super nice, always professional and keeps his distance. I am a female student as an FYI. Must be a hater out there lol. Take him if you can.
An amazing professor! Always willing to help out his students when needed and cares for students. Always do the extra credit as it helps a lot with exams! Somewhat fast-paced but it's at a pace where you can understand everything.
Attendance is mandatory for labs. He gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities. He lectures at an average pace. He tries his best to ensure everybody understands the content
Professor Jaber knows his stuff. He cares about his student's success and is extremely respectful. I took both Gen Chem 1 and 2 with him. The lectures were asynchronous and the labs/exams were in person. Put in the work and you will pass.
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR SO MUCH. Take him and it will be an easy A. He respects his students so much and he will pass everyone of his students as long as you put in effort and try. He gives partial credit and extra credit and points on test for everything. I wish he could teach every one of my courses. HE IS THE BEST PROFESSER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!
Definitely the best professor I've had. He makes it clear that he wants his students to succeed and will go above and beyond to make sure that is true. He gives tons of extra credit and partial credit on tests even if it's a multiple choice question, as long as you show some work. I highly recommend taking professor Jaber
Professor Jaber is the best. He is super understanding and makes it clear that he works for us students. He makes it obvious that he isn't there to make an income, but there to help students. He is super reasonable and gives so much extra credit it is hard to keep track. The quizzes are online, and the labs are fairly short. I am taking him again
I've never been more impressed with a professor's level of care, detail, and organization. He went above and beyond to ensure every student absorbed the material and applied it to the labs. He also encourages students to attend office hours if needed. Worcester State University is incredibly lucky have such a professor.
Doctor Jaber is one of the best, if not the best professor I have ever had so far in my college career. His level of knowledge, understanding, compassion, and ability to teach such a hard subject is beyond exceptional. He has genuine care and concern for his students' success on top of being great at teaching. You will not regret selecting him.
Amazing!!! Dreaded chem II But he literally made me love it now!!!! Highly recommend
Amazing professor. He really cares about all of his students and their grades. He will answer any question during office hours or class.
I've never met a professor more dedicated to the success of his students than Dr. J. It is impossible to do poorly in his class if you put in the effort. By far the most engaging and informative lectures I've had. Proves chemistry itself is nothing to fear, it's all about how you approach it. I wish he was still teaching orgo!
I cant speak highly enough about Dr Jaber. After taking this same class at the same school almost 15 years ago with a professor who left me feeling totally lost and traumatized, professor Jaber was able to completely turn my perspective around. He makes difficult material much easier to understand. Highly recommend taking his class!!
Literally the perfect professor especially for somethings as challenging as chemistry. He is very kind, engages with class well, and genuinely seems to care about students. He provides a lot of extra help (review videos, lots of extra credit, flexible office hours) and his labs are interesting.
