Great teacher, helful, knows the material very well, and explain the lesson plans in such a way that I can understand. I will take of his classes.
Great Instuctor. Extremely helpful. Really knows his stuff! Had a blast in his class. Will Definietly take him in the future.
Great teacher, really enjoyed and learned a lot in the class. Always answered my questions and made the class just as tough as it needed to be to learn and have fun.
Would highly recommend! More than reasonable on grading policy. Makes sure that one understands the material being taught. Highly helpful in office hours. I had quiz problems that I answered correctly that were marked wrong by the computer grader. Upon questioning this, he was more than happy to fix the issue when proof of a glitch was found.
Professor Batarseh is by far the greatest professors I have had at BCC. One of the most helpful, dedicated and caring professors on campus. Very good at communicating with students, prepares you for all the tests, very thorough with the material and will definitely work with you. Take him any chance you get. Such a pleasure taking his class.
Professor Jacob Batarseh is a great teacher. I looked forward to his class because it was enjoyable and very educational. He care's about all his students, He is very helpful and encourages all his students to be the best they can be.
Great teacher! I have taken Mr. Batarseh's courses for almost 2 years now and I enjoy them. Every class he explains the topic and covers it thoroughly. I can't wait until cbis-33B.
He is the greatest teacher ever. He has the mixture down right. Being helpful, considerate, firm, and teaching us what we need to know to pass his class , he manages to bring it all together. I recomend him to everyone who wants too learn.
I loved taking the class, he's very clear on what the objectives are. The programs he has us create are phenomenal and outstanding! Great work Mr. Batarseh!
I enjoyed this class and Mr. Batarseh provided some challenging choices for the lab assignments. I hope to work more with similar material to improve my coding skills based off what I've learned.
Great Instructor, responds promptly to your emails and is very helpful and friendly. I took his class online and I enjoyed it very much. Would totally recommend to anyone. He is also a very fair grader. Thank you Professor Batarseh.
Jacob was not only very helpful and professional,but he really took an interest in making sure his students were understanding, as we went from chapter to chapter. I enjoyed his great personality and his teaching expertese. I will recommend to the rest of my fellow Veterans here at the Veterans Home in Barstow to take any of his classes. Thanks JB
Mr. Batarseh is without a doubt the best math teacher I have ever had. He is fair and helpful. I had struggled with math my whole life until now.
Mr. Batarseh worked with all of us students to help get us through this course. I am awful in math and I ended up with a good grade.
I appreciated Mr. Batarseh always coming to class early to let us get all of our lab assignments completed on time. He has always been very helpful explaining things when I got confused. Thanks again Mr. B. :}
I took Prof. Batarseh for my summer stats class, there’s only one word to describe him, “AWSOME!” He was always helpful and would even return emails during the weekend. He is very helpful, all you have to do is ask and he’ll accommodate you as best as he can. If you want to pass with a good grade; I would recommend taking Prof. Batarseh!
Excellent teacher. I really enjoyed his class. Very layed back, relaxed teacher. Any questions he was happy to help. I sure hope my next teacher is as awesome as him.
The best Professor I have ever had! He makes makes difficult material easy to understand and rewarding to learn.
Mr Bartarseh is Prime! He's everything a great teacher should be; strict but fair, compassionate, funny, smart, etc. I just wish the classes were longer than two months.
Mr. Batarseh is the best of the best.
Excellent teacher. Very easy,I enjoyed his class.
very hepful - but you have to stay on top of class, as topics build on each other. Do not fall behind in class work
Mr. B was the best teacher I've ever had in college thus far. He is very helpful and very understanding. His class was pretty challenging but Mr.B made it clear for me to understand. Take Mr.B!!!
Great teacher. Coursework was engaging and I felt like I took quite a bit away from this course. One thing I really enjoyed was the fact that Mr B responded quickly to any questions I had. Thanks Mr B!
A class well taught, I am looking forward to taken additional classes with him.
Mr. B. was very flexible even though this was a hybrid class he allowed me to work most of it on-line.
He was very friendly and flexible. You can tell he wants everyone to succeed. Great way to teach.
Math2 was a challenge but not impossible thanks to mr. Batarseh. He is a wonderful instructor who cares for students success and gives his 100% to all his students at all times. I am very glad to have a professional instructor like him.
Prof. Batarseh made a very difficult and intimidating subject, Statistics, not only doable but enjoyable as well. His positive attitude, encouragement and reasonable expectations made the class an overall positive experience. Thank you, Prof. Batarseh!
Professor Jacob Batarseh One of the very best mind ever in USA. Very knowledgeable, Helpful and very easy to work with. Made the subject easy to understand, always keen to address students concern, replies students mails swiftly & with much details. scale of 1-10, i'd give Him 10. Thanks Professor and God bless you and give you good health
This professor was very kind in some of the communication errors due to technology and was a great help to me!
Mr. Batarseh is very aware of whats going on in his class. He knows who's putting in the work and who's taking the easy route, and he compensates hard work. He is more than willing to give whatever help necessary for a student to better understand the material. My opinion is that Mr. Batarseh is an excellent teacherprofessor.
Mr. Batarseh Expected the work to be done, but very fair. More than willing to help you with anything not understood. Very good professor
This was my first computer programming course so I wasn't sure what to expect. The low clarity grade is based more on my understanding of the course rather than Professor Batarseh's knowledge or ability to teach. He is a very knowledgeable instructor and would bend over backwards to assist his students.
I've had the pleasure of taking many classes with Mr. Batarseh. He is an Excellent teacher and is one of the most helpful teachers I have ever seen at the college. Is very precise when explaining the current lesson we are doing. I encourage everyone to take him if they get a chance
Great Teacher! He makes sure you understand your topic and if you need any extra help he is there to assist you.
The professor is very clear and is always available, he also is willing to stay more time to make sure everyone understands the lecture. He is very clear at the moment of the explanation of the lectures, he has a well done material for the class.
Taking Math 2 with Professor Batarseh was worthwhile. This statistics class was a hyprid by the way, so I got the best of both world's. He was extremely helpfull and clear cut as to what he expects from you. If you keep up with the lessons and do your due dillegence as a student, you will earn an A. I highly advise all to take Math2 with Batarseh.
Professor Batarseh is very helpful and clear. He answers your emails with promptness. Very patient. I would recommend his class. Very Understanding you just have to communicate with him.
Professor Batarseh was quick on answering any of my emails (normally within 12hrs). He also took concerns and feedback that I provided seriously and responded promptly regarding them. Thank you
Mr. Batarseh is a great instructor and the way he explains the material in the class is very easy to understand. Thank you
At the beginning, I thought that the class is gonna be difficult, But after I start with professor Jacob, I feel more comfortable, And he was very good teacher who is available to help anytime, answer question and very clear for me to understand.
This was my first class online course at Barstow, I'm grateful that Professor Batarseh was my first instructor experience. I believe the key to a students success is by communicating with the instructor , specifically regarding clarity and expectations. Professor Batarseh provided that and more. A positive experience.
I thought taking this class was going to be difficult because of the credit amount, but honestly the professor made it clear cut and understandable as long as you do the work.
Great teacher
Great teacher. Educational to boot. You have to read your book to understand.
Me. Batarseh was a really helpful professor and was a fun class to take. If reccomend him to anyone wanting a computer class that's fun and easy to take
Excellent class to take very informational
He's is evetrly helpful
Good instructor. Stays on topic and always willing to provide more assistance and feedback.
Professor Batarseh was an amazing instructor. I took Intro to Java with him, and though the class was a 9 week hybrid, I learned a lot. There is a lot of reading, but lectures help tremendously, and all labs are done in class so students can get help if needed. Expect to read because quizzes are based out of the book, and so is the final. Have fun!
He was really quick to respond to any questions I emailed him. The final test was tough as it ranged across 10 chapters closed book. Definitely learned a lot though.
He is very nice!
Let's see, Do all your HW, check - Do all your Quiz's, check - Do all your Lab, check! Completed all work successfully and on time, check. Do the Above and you should be able to pass the course and learn things you thought you knew.
Very clear and straight forward, excellent response time when emailed with questions/comments, very fair, excellent experience in my first semester re-entry after 20 years. Thank you
There is nothing I would like to add
As long as you complete all of the work on time he is willing to work with you to get a good grade. I reccomend him for this course!
Great professor, he is fair with grading. He takes the time for students to learn the material and is willing to stay after school to answer any questions. He is respectful, he doesn't waste time and respects the students time. One of the best professors I've had in this campus.
The instructor was great in his ability of teaching the students the material directly.
Really enjoyed this class and would recommend to other students.
This Professor is the best. He looks at your hard efforts and makes his judgment accordingly. I really enjoyed the CSIC1 online this semester, Thanks for being a great instructor.
This is a great teacher he works with his students to make sure they understand the material!
Excellent lectures that are very organized. The work you learn is always explained and given in an example which helps a lot.
Great class, easy to understand material, and quizzes from the book. Make sure you take this class.
Great teacher. Class was easy to pass. He will be very generous to those who deserve it. You will pass if you do all the work and go to class. He will even boost your letter grade if you're active on the discussions and do all the work on time.
One of the best Professors I've ever had
Do every assignment on time, attend class, and participate on as many discussion questions as possible.
I have taken this professor for both Stats and Computers. He appreciates and gives good feed back when work is completed and done well.
Before starting this class I was very apprehensive when it came to using a computer. This instructor put me at ease, encouraged me and was ready and available with anything I needed or had a question about.
Great communication very respectful. Makes a tough subject easier to grasp. I would recommend Professor Batarseh to all students looking to grow and learn. He is patient with those students having a struggle with the work.
An amazing instructor who truly cares about you becoming successful. . Truly enjoyed this course!!
I would indeed take more classes with Professor Batarseh! What I appreciated about him was his staying in touch via e-mail and keeping a great line of communication open!
One of the best respected, carrying professor hands down.
Great Professor.... I enjoyed this class. You gotta read though because learning computers can be difficult for some people. Final was a little tough but the weekly work and quizzes weren't bad.
Great class learned alot a must take
Great class learned alot a must take at barstow fair and pushes you to strive
Mr. Jacob you are a very good instructor for your dedication and clear grading. Thanks a lot
Mr. Jacob you are a very good instructor whether online or on campus classes. Thank for your dedication and clear grading.
He is a very good professor and all his subjects are very good to learn.
I enjoyed taking this class, I learned a lot.
This professor is cool! He gave me an 'A' even though I didn't perform well on the final exam. It is because I always completed the assignments on time. I never missed an assignment. I recommend taking this instructor.
Professor Batarseh is a great instructor. He makes complicated material very easy to understand. I had him for a 6 week course and he did a great job explaining the massive amount of material we had to do In a shirt time. He is also very good about answering e-mails. He is very prompt and ALWAYS answers you. He is an instructor that goes above and
Professor Batarseh was very knowledgeable and made stats fun to be in.
Professor Batarseh is a wonderful instructor! He is very accommodating and helpful. Responds quickly and makes a difficult subject more bearable.
This professor was amazing! I would take all his classes if I could. He teaches very well and he makes the lectures easy to understand! I definitely recommend him for any class!
I was nervous about taking a hybrid statistics class, but Mr. Batarseh made it very possible to excel in this course. He provided detailed printed lectures, which helped when studying. He also provided several optional homework problems with solutions for each covered section. I would highly recommend Batarseh for. Math 2 or for any other course.
Good professor. You need to study regardless because statistics is a hard class.
I would definitely have him as a professor again. If you don't understand something he will sit there and try to help you best he can.
This class was challenging when you werent paying attention. Overall, i liked the class.
Good teacher. Course was well informative.
Excellent!
Good class!
great teacher kept me will informed
Great professor! Teaches clear and makes it easy to understand. Has a good sense of humor! Highly recommend everyone to take him!
He really cares that his students understand the work, and that they pass the class.
Mr. Jacob! Thanks a lot for the two classes I have taken with you. The best thing in your lectures is the way you simplify everything to make easier for your students.
He is a very dedicated instructor and cares a lot for his students. I would highly recommend him, and would like to thank for the 2classes I have taken with him and got A+ in both.
Wow! I have been to more than 6 colleges throughout my academic career and I have never EVER had a professor exude so much true concern for all of his students... I live with a brain injury and his patience in helping me during class time and in emails has surmounted any professor I have ever had... I will drive the distance to learn from him again
Great instructor, I will recommend others to take this class, its very informative and well put together.
Great professor who understands the difficulties of stats and is always willing to help those who put forth their beat effort.
Such an awesome professor! The work was very easy to understand!
Great guy, even greater teacher.
Good teacher.
A very Great professor I love the class he made online very easy for me and as long as you get your work done he will work with you.
He is very understanding.
Clear syllabus, good lectures, always emailed back right away.
Professor B was really good at making you understand although the work itself is difficult he makes it easy to pass the class with a good grade. Highly recommended to take his class
One of the best Professor I have ever had, He's very knowledgeable, professional and keeps the interest of the student at heart. always responds to students emails almost immediately . I would take more classes in future that this prof teaches. Definitely I will recommend him for any student
Class isnt mandatory, but its definitely more beneficial to you if you go.
Amazing professor!! Makes you want to learn and makes you want to come to class!!
Excellent professional. Well disciplined and gives amazing to the point lectures. Uses own interpretations and infuses text book dynamics to clearly understand module objectives.
Hehad us do the work within a certain amount of time. He is goo because he is available outside of class. He will ansqer your questions.
Professor Jacob Batarseh is a nice professor. I really recommend you to take his class. I really learned from all the lectures that he shares on Canvas. His class was organized and easy to understand. He really cares about the students. You will not regret taking his class. Trust me! Just make sure you always communicate with him if you need help
I am glad I decided to take this class with Professor Jacob Batarseh. He really cares for the students. If you need help do not hesitate to communicate with him. He is always available. His class is well organized and clear to follow. He also shares lectures that will help you understand what you need to do during the week. Good Luck!
I was so inspired by this class. I wasn't clear regarding my educational path, but now I want to further my education in this field, after taking this class.
Awesome Teacher
Great professor.
I am glad I took this class with professor Jacob Batarseh. His class is well organized. The labs are not that complicated. He includes instructions and also videos that are easy to follow. One lab every week, One quiz every week, the midterm and final. Professor Batarseh cares for the students. He is always available if you need help.
Great Teacher! Always had the answers to all of my questions.
I appreciate the fast response time and advice when asked. If you apply yourself and reach out when you need help, the professor will give you the help needed. I look forward to taking a class with Professor Batarseh again.
if your always absent you will loose a lot of information and the class is already confusing as it is, missing a day will make it harder.
This professor is amazing, he takes the time to email you back super fast and helps you out throughout the whole course. I took his course online because I live an hour and a half away from the campus and I have to say it was a good experience.
Straight forward discussions and quizzes. Final was also straight forward. Overall a good class to take.
Very great professor very thoughtful and caring. The professor gives great feedback on everything thats giving and if i needed to take this test again i would pick this professor again if i had a question he was prompt to get back to me with out a delay great professor. Test are hard but very doable as long as you study and complete work.
The assignments were laid out in a very organized manner with supporting material such as power points and videos available. Prof. Batarseh wants you to succeed, but he expects you to put forth the effort. Make sure you communicate any concerns to him. He responds quickly and is very workable.
This teacher explains everything very well and I truly enjoyed his class.
Professor Ayoub (Jacob) Batarseh is a great! His class is really easy. He lets you work ahead. Make sure to read the textbook and you'll get an A.
Understandable and very helpful
The teacher was very helpful and understanding.
Great professor! Quick to help and respond to emails. Do the work and you will pass.
He is one of the best professors that I have met he's really nice and will always give his time up to help with stuff that you need help with.
He was a great Teacher the two times I took him but there is a caviot . You will only learn something if you want to . This is essentially an easy A class where you should pass easily but the real value of the class comes from discussing your coding with the teacher to actually learn it .
I enjoy classes like this where there is 1 discussion, 1 hw/lab, and 1 quiz every week. I like that it is consistent and easy to understand instructions. Lectures weren't bad. Labs were easy and fun. The quizzes were pretty straight forward, with one chance of a redo. Discussions were nice too because you could pick the questions you answer.
Going to be honest he doesn't teach, there are no lectures so you will find yourself learning every step guessing how to do something. it confuses me that you must pay for the class, the textbook, and an online course system to learn. then take a test that's only 10 questions that are worth 40 percent of your grade. He doesn't even teach really.
Professor Batarseh was an amazing professor and very helpful!
Easy class to stay on track with, I learned a lot!
When I needed help, he answered very fast and was really helpful. He he is a very compassionate teacher and great with students
He provides the materials to use and then gives students the freedom to learn at their own pace and method. He had no midterm, but a final that covered everything. His final was reasonable. His homework was suggested, but participation was required. If the student wanted a good grade, the suggested homework was within their choosing and management.
My class was online, but Professor Batarseh responded to my questions quickly and was very nice. :)
This class was very fun and not stressful. You can work at your own pace and he is not super strict. Very good professor!
Mr Batarseh is the best. It was an awesome experience being in his class. I learned a lot from this guy.
I really enjoyed how simple the projects are and that they work with MAC products . I enjoyed the simplest form of using word, PowerPoint, and excel. I enjoyed the way the professor chose to complete grading and worth . I learn how to use the tabs buttons in Word and excel.
Easy class but lots of quizes each week just have to be consistent everyday so it doesnt build up. Teacher was very nice and understandable if you needed help or needed more time to complete assignments. Doesnt do lectures so thats a plus for me.
This course was not stressful at all, you work at your own pace and the professor is very understanding and available if you ever need help or have questions.
I'd say for all the computer science majors, that this teacher should be the go-to for a lot of students for CSC-5. The class is about 5 assignments a week, and will require a good chunk of time to complete, but everything is extremely fair. Lots of time to complete assignments, and lots of opportunity to practice coding. Highly recommend.
You have to study and use resources provided. Professor was quick to answer questions I had, no problem with communication.
I hate math and had to take statistics as a requirement course. If this sounds like you, TAKE THIS COURSE! Prof. Batarseh made it possible for me to not only pass a class, but really understand statistics! 10/10 recommend!!
The material can be challenging, but Prof. Batarseh is helpful and responsive. Using the textbook, engaging in study sessions, and trying tools like Unstuckstudy can make a big difference.
Super clear and concise work structure. Always super quick to respond to questions and concerns. Would definitely take another one of his classes!
Smooth sailing as long as you do the work!
Professor Batarseh is a caring and understandable professor who explains material clearly and accepts late work. Highly recommend taking his class
