I like him. He's reasonable, and wants the students to learn something. He may not give you the answers but I find the guy fair.

He only leaves examples unfinished when all that is left to them is trivial calculation. When you ask him a question, he'll often put it in a rectangle, and say it's for us to figure out. He's a nice guy though. Too many lectures on "life" thoug

I was warned about this guy going in, but I really didn't think the warning was warrented. He takes a lot of class time to tell you why you shouldn't be late, or shouldn't be talking, or whatever, but he gives you a lot of class time off because he leaves

nice to look at

Clear and goes directly to the point because he doesn't spend time re-explaining what was taking in high school .. good for good students and bad for lazy ones

He was a good prof. The rectangle idea is to make you look for the answer your self, so that you remember it better. His course was still less rigorous than an Ottawa U math course.

He makes the subject interesting, very funny and quite easy. He is sometimes hard to understand, but an excellent professor.

Great

this is from karwan

Jabir Adulrahman is a very professional and straightfoward professor. The material imparted is somewhat difficult, but Mr. Abulrahman is always interested in taking questions and scheduling extra office hours. Great, intelligent and helpful professor. 4.4/5

go to class. Do assigned problems. Easiest A+ I've ever gotten.

Great prof. Really dedicated to passing his knowledge. Hard course.

Do whatever he says, his comments on the material which is beeing presented is extremely crucial to understand; go to every single freakin' class and you are garanteed to get A or higher; tough course though! he's studied in UK, awesome Prof. with a lot of knowledge. very kind indeed. again! don't miss a class cuz you'll fail. love him:)

Incredibly professional, awesome.....5/5

AMAZING TEACHER!! Cares about his students. extremely helpful. awesome guy.

An abrasive, unlikeable guy, but gave 10% for attendance. The lectures/assignments give no indication about the level of difficulty of the tests/final (one test was super easy, another impossibly tough). Stay away.

Adequate, not fantastic. Go to class, but expect to copy notes directly from the board. The textbook really isn't necessary if you have good notes and go to tutorials, but make sure you do the problems assigned to get a good grade. Not the most approachable when it comes to questions.

He was very passionate about the class. He would stop and call out students who were disrupting the class. Over all though he was a good prof who made the material clear. I took this class at another university and failed. He made it very very easy and I through the class without a flaw. I recommend him for this class.

I got 100% for all tests,but the final was soooo different and hard that I got a freaggin B-. He's helpful in his office, TA's are fuked up, and test's level of difficulty caries from one to another. Would never ever take a class with him. EVER!

Very nice guy! Extremely helpful, and tries to help you as much as he can!

This prof is the best one in the math department, I wish I can have any other course with him...

Probably the best prof I've had in university so far, or at least the best math prof. His classes are very well organized, and he conveys the topics to the audience in a very effective manner. He makes sure everyone is attentive and there are no disruptions. He also had some fun stories to tell sometimes that helped make the time in class better.

The best of the best...!

he is awesome

Very passionate professor. Exam was difficult relative to the tests, so study ALL of the chapters in the textbook! However, I asked, and it was not written by him (written by the math department) so he can't be fully blamed. The rectangle questions helped a lot, if you did them. You're in school to learn, so doing your own work should be expected.

Fun guy to have, liked his boxes

I don't know why others comment badly on the professor, He is a passionate professor, One good advice take him, and if your struggling go see him. Math isn't about smarts its about hard work

I had Jabir for Linear Algebra last semester, I found him to be a great prof. A bit hard to understand at first, but once you get used to his style of teaching you're fine. The notes he writes on the board are awesome, I never had to refer to the textbook, expect for practice problems.

He writes a textbook chapter as his notes. They are perfect. He moves fast and does exactly what his job is. He makes sure that you are responsible for practicing the procedures, but rewards you for it. He tells you exactly which questions to do. If you do them you will surely get an A+.

avg. Prof

I never knew calculus could be so easy! Go to his class, he will give you all the questions you need to study for the test (and you get to crack up at him chewing out the kids falling asleep). Much more clear than other math profs @ Carleton. I wish I had him for 1007, too.

He writes a LOT of notes... it can be very difficult to keep up with him. I had a hard time in the class but only because I didn't do any practice problems

awesome prof!! Forces you to pay attention and will call you out for dozing off, texting or talking. More than willing to help students and a very nice prof. Notes were incredibly self explanatory. keep up with the homework and you will do fine. Easy tests, harder exam

Best math teacher I've ever had. If you find his class difficult then something is wrong.. I almost failed calc 1 and passed calc 2 with him with flying colours

Amazing prof,,,knows what to do! but he is a jerk sometimes! but not really mean to the students! I would recommend him for all math courses! one thing I like about the class that it is soooooo quite! no body can talk there hhhhh! it is the most quite class Ive ever had hhhhh!

Very straightforward professor. Unique sense of humor. Interesting stories. Had him for 1104 & 3705. Easy A's with regular attendance and test preparation.

He is a great professor, very clear and organized, and knows what he is doing.

A little bit of a character, but all around a clear concise teacher.

"back row can you see this? can you hear me?" haha best prof out there! amazing teaching style and very clear. dont ever text infront of him or talk! easy A! recommended !

Best prof ever! Highly recommend him! Just attend all of his classes and do some textbook problems...

He's very good prof. He has the Arabic teaching style, which means nobody talks in the class or not paying full attention to the bored. He makes the material easy and we were well prepared for the 4-mini-tests and the final exam. I really recommend him for you.

Nice helpful teacher. Strict about using cellphones or laptops in class. I found the tests to be hard. Exam was very similar to the tests done during the semester. Ended up with D- in that class. Possibly due to my laziness.

Very good prof. Quite entertaining when he yells at other students. He really keeps you engaged in other wise very boring content.

Excellent professor with wide knowledge. I like to take courses under him. The class is also disciplined so there is minimal distraction which I like.

The best professors for Math at Carleton. I really encourage you pick him for all your math classes during your studies at CU (as am I). He explains EVERYTHING so well, and when you ask a question he clarifies it in the best way possible. His tests are SO fair unlike other math professors, and they are based on what you actually LEARN in class.

Brilliant professor! Haters can hate! He explains the material well with some humour on the side!

He's very nice and make's his best effort to teach you. Don't fool around in class though, he's pretty serious for your own good. His tests are easy and well laid out, his lessons are a perfect combination of examples and theories. Amazing prof.

10/10 hes too gud for dis course. Needs a medal. My hoya goes cray cray for his heimerdinger

Awesome prof! Gives tons of examples so that you really understand. You should still do textbook problems so that you fully grasp the material! Overall, pretty easy class and he makes it enjoyable. Especially funny when he yells at people for texting! Dont use your phone or you will get in trouble, and possibly kicked out of the class. Very amusing

HE'S SO FUNNY. I love how he repeats his stories every year. You would never use your phone or talk in class, you would absorb so much information. Math hero/legend for Engineering <3

Such a good prof! The class is pretty easy. His notes are mostly examples which is helpful! Still do problems from the textbook just to make sure you grasp everything. And never use your cell phone in this class unless you want to be yelled at and have his 5 minute lecture about why cell phones are bad. Overall, really good prof and funny!

Jabir is awesome, he cares about his students, his tests are straightforward, (he won't troll you) The no tech thing is fine, you will get over it shortly, and he decided to boost everyone's mark at the end of sem by messing around with the weights of each test. My exam was worth 100% and I aced the class. Much love man

Great prof. Sharp wit. Pay attention, follow along with the textbook and this course is easy.

One of my all time favourite professors

Loved his class! He is very entertaining and knows how to control a class and teach the material very well. I recommend writing everything down and studying them. The material itself is pretty easy but he makes the class so much better! He is not a tough grader and gives u chances to do well in the course. CHOSE HIM

Great Prof. Just don't use your phone and you should be good. Listen to his lectures and take notes as well tests are a piece of cake if you practice a little bit.

Great Prof! He teaches really great and I understand everything from him. He is very helpful and nobody sleeps in his class because he doesn't make the topic boring...

He focuses on fundamentals. If you attend lectures, you will definitely succeed. Very good professor.

Buy his book and do the recommended questions from the syllabus. His tests were not more difficult than what I encountered in the homework. He just transcribes the textbook chapter lesson onto to the board, down to the examples. Therefore it's not mandatory to attend his lectures.

teaches from the textbook so it helps you follow along with examples

Jabir is great, seems tough at first but he means well he really wants the best for his students. I went into this class as a weak math student and came out with so much knowledge and appreciation for math. Just go to the lectures and purchase HIS textbook, questions on tests are right out of the textbook.

Very nice personality. You just need to follow his instructions and you will do great. Try to go to his office hours if you need help.

He is a good prof. He cares about your learning. Just work hard and do not play on your phone and computer.

One of the best profs ever. Focusses on everything!

I have taken Jabir 3 times, what an amazing professor. Do whatever you can to switch into his classes. Compared to other math profs, he is a gift.

Jabir is a great prof, he really cares about his students. Reading the textbook is highly recommended, it's easy to read and isn't complete gibberish. Anybody can get a good mark in this class if they put some effort in. Bring a notebook to class, Jabir is very old-fashioned, you'll see what I mean.

Jabir is a very good prof. He is very strict with cellphone use. He is a kind person and is willing to help you succeed. In addition, he showed us integrals. Occasionally he rants about pointless things that nobody really cares about.

He'll seem intimidating at first, but you realize he only wants the best out of his students. His lectures are proof-heavy so if that's not your thing it's worth considering. Nice guy and solid prof. As with any engineering math course at carleton you can do well by trying any tiny amount

Jabir can be really stern and come across as rude but he is a brilliant prof. His lectures are extremely easy to follow and excellent at going over theories and concepts. His tests are pretty straight forward, and same for the final. He will never throw in any &quot;trick&quot; questions or questions you have never seen before. He is one of the best profs.

Best lectures you will ever attend. You will never leave the class without having understood the material. The textbook is very good, affordable and is also written by himself. Simple exams.
